When Good Things Happen, Why Do We Brace for the Bad?

I used to believe that for every good thing that happened to me, something bad had to happen as well to even it out, like a universal balancing system. Every time something good was going to happen, I always thought to myself, “What will the payback be?” In my years of experience working with and talking to women, I have learned that lots of women live with this fear, often for a long time.Listen in as I talk about why we have this fear, acknowledge that you’re not crazy for having it, and how to shift out of this kind of thinking so you can live your life with freedom instead of fear. In this episode I discuss:How fear keeps you from taking risks -  and how this protects and hinders usHow negativity bias is a symptom of adrenal overloadThe role of the amygdala in fearHow your brain remembers threatsHow negative emotions get attached to positive emotionsWhat happens when we go into fight or flight modeWhat intuition really isHow to get out of this fearThe power of neuroplasticityThe importance of being aware of your feelingsHow to use cognitive disruption to shift from fear to freedomWhy I love taking deep breathsThe value of journalingHow to practice forgivenessLooking for supplements for yourself and your family, including some of those I talk about in episodes?
