Nothing is actually bad...you're just making it that way! (and what you can do about it)

from Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney · host Anne Bonney

Ever notice how something small can ruin your whole mood… …but something BIG barely fazes you?RIGHT?  How weird is that??  In this April wrap-up episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, Anne Bonney connects the dots from three powerhouse April episodes with Alaina G. Levine, Henna Pryor, and Bob Mathers, and uncovers a game-changing insight:       It’s not what’s happening… it’s the meaning you assign to it.From getting salty in an airport bag check line (admit it, you've been there) to awkward social moments to life-altering events, Anne breaks down how your brain instantly labels situations, and how those labels shape your entire experience and mood for the day!.In this episode, Anne talks about: Why nothing is “good” or “bad” until YOU decide it is  How your brain creates stories that feel true (but aren’t)  The hidden reason awkward moments feel so painful  How fear gets mislabeled as danger (when it’s usually not)  Why shifting your interpretation can instantly change your experience What to do if a bus is coming A simple question to help you reframe ANY frustrating situation Bottom line:  The quality of your life isn’t based on what happens,  it’s based on the meaning you assign to what happens. Next time something annoys you, ask:  “What meaning am I assigning to this… and is it the only explanation?”If you want in on my newsletter, here's the link.  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-discomfort-zone-dispatch-7391210402501521408/Subscribe to my E-mail List (same as above, different delivery method!): https://bit.ly/midweek-energizerAnne Bonney is a keynote speaker and emcee who helps organizations lead through change by building resilience, emotional intelligence, and courageous communication.
