The science behind why you can't feel joy
This episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast focuses on the importance of finding joy in the present moment and how many people are unknowingly blocking themselves from experiencing it. Joanna Kleinman, the host, discusses the negative impacts of living on autopilot and being driven by future goals and societal expectations. She emphasizes the power of small, intentional moments of joy in shaping our present and future experiences. Key Points: Many people feel a general apathy and dissatisfaction despite achieving external success. We block joy by focusing on the future and chasing external validation. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions create our energetic frequency and impact our reality. Finding small moments of joy daily can rewire our brains and attract more joy. Our automatic mind is often stuck in negativity and needs conscious observation. Processing past traumas and core wounds is crucial for lasting change. Shifting our focus to present joy creates a ripple effect of positivity in our lives. Joy is contagious and spreads to those around us.   Reflection Questions: When was the last time you truly felt joy in the present moment, and what was it like? Do you find yourself focusing on the future or the past more than the present? What are the consequences of this? Are there any areas of your life where you are blocking joy due to negative thoughts or beliefs?   Are you ready to find out which Inner Critic Is Ruling Your Mind?

The Most Important Question of Your Life

The Most Important Question of Your Life
In this week's empowering episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, Joanna delves into the most important question of your life.  Here are the key takeaways: The Illusion of Desire: Everyone desires happiness, success, and good relationships. However, the critical question is not simply what you want, but also how much pain you're ready to go through to get it. Facing Pain for Growth: Many people ignore the difficult labor required for personal development. Pain is often viewed negatively, but it is the meaning we give to it that gives our lives purpose. Understanding and confronting our pain is critical to breaking the pattern of settling and waiting for change. Avoiding Pain vs. Facing Reality: True happiness is accepting that the quality of our lives is influenced by how well we control our minds in the face of unpleasant occurrences. Most people prefer to keep their worries and beliefs to themselves, but facing them is the key to navigating life effectively. Fantasy vs. Reality: Wanting something isn't enough. You also need to know how much suffering you're ready to go through to get it. If you find yourself wanting something without making any progress, it's essential to consider whether your desires are aligned with deeper underlying commitments. The Transformative Power of Struggle: Accepting the struggle is necessary for living a fulfilling life. Many people seek rewards but are unwilling to climb the mountain. It's in the struggle that transformation occurs, shaping every aspect of our lives. Here are this week's reflection questions:  What pain are you willing to face to achieve your desires and live a fulfilling life? Are your desires aligned with a fantasy, or are you willing to endure the necessary struggles? What is the pain you've been avoiding, and how might facing it lead to personal growth and transformation?   If this episode resonated with you and you'd want to learn more about how the Mastering Your Mind program may help you go to the next level, book a clarity call with me. Even if the program isn't the right fit, we'll have a valuable conversation.
