Have you ever stopped to consider just how powerful your thoughts are? 💭 Research shows that we have between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts per day, and a staggering 75-85% of them are negative. 😨 Why is that? Well, a big part of it comes from what we consume—especially the news. Stories about tragedies linger in our minds far longer than uplifting ones, reinforcing this cycle of negativity.

But here’s the good news: you have the power to retrain your brain! 🧠✨


The Battle of the Wolves

Imagine your mind as a battlefield where two wolves reside: the good wolf and the bad wolf. The good wolf thrives on positivity, self-belief, and growth, while the bad wolf feeds on doubt, fear, and negativity. Which one wins? The one you feed. 🍴

Training your brain starts with becoming aware of your thoughts. Are they helping you or holding you back? Here’s a quick check-in:

  • Are you constantly replaying negative scenarios?
  • Do you doubt your ability to achieve your goals?
  • Are you letting fear stop you from taking action?

If so, it’s time to redirect your focus. Thoughts become things, and where energy flows, results follow. 🚀


The Power of Visualization

Let me share a personal story. I once took on a challenge to compete alongside some of the most influential names in my industry, including my mentor, Russell Brunson. At first, my mind was clouded with doubt: “Why even try? There’s no way I can compete.” But then, I called a mentor who reminded me that just being in the room with these people was a win in itself.

From that moment, I began to visualize success. I pictured myself sitting at the table with Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi. I imagined the energy, the conversations, and the feeling of accomplishment. But here’s the catch—I visualized myself finishing second because I didn’t believe I could surpass my mentor. Guess what? That’s exactly what happened. I placed second. 🥈

Lesson learned: never underestimate the power of your thoughts. If I had visualized being #1, who knows? Maybe that would’ve been the outcome.


Breaking Free from Comfort Zones

Another pivotal moment in my journey came when I transitioned from real estate to coaching. Walking into my first mastermind group, I was overwhelmed by imposter syndrome. “I don’t belong here. I’m not good enough,” my thoughts whispered. I almost left. But I reminded myself: This is exactly where you’re meant to be.

Fast forward a few years, and I’ve surpassed many of those people I once admired. Why? Because I stayed the course and refused to let fear win.


Action Steps for Training Your Brain

If you’re ready to take control of your thoughts, here are some steps to get started:

  1. Write it down: Keep a journal of your thoughts and identify recurring themes.
  2. Stop, step, and switch: When you catch a negative thought, pause, acknowledge it, and replace it with a positive one.
  3. Visualize success: Spend a few minutes each day imagining your goals as if they’ve already been achieved.
  4. Feed the good wolf: Surround yourself with positivity—uplifting books, inspiring podcasts, and supportive people.

Your brain is your most powerful tool. Use it wisely. 🌟
