Monday Muse #43 - Stop Telling Yourself Stories: What Fasting Revealed About My Story of “Hangry.”

What if fasting created more control over your stress, your mood, and the noise in your mind? In this Monday Muse, I share what a 14-day water fast taught me about irritation, overthinking, intuition, and the mental stories we follow without question.By removing food, I saw how much of my reactivity came from my mind—not my hunger. A hangry moment in my own household showed me just how much power we give to habit, fear, and old beliefs. This episode explores what happens when you stop reacting automatically, trust yourself more deeply, and meet your day without believing every thought that appears.If you’re navigating stress, impatience, or the constant hum of overthinking, this conversation offers a quieter, wiser way forward. Chapters:00:00 Understanding the Mind's Influence on Stress02:31 The Experience of Fasting and Self-Reflection04:47 Trusting the Process and Letting Go of Control HIRE ME TO SPEAK:👉🏽 Inspire and transform your group with a keynote speech or training: https://www.abbyhavermann.com/speaking​​👉 Get my free course: Stop Setting Boundaries (under an hour!): https://www.abbyhavermann.com/stop-setting-boundaries Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
