Ep. 29 - Deciding on Divorce
If you are contemplating divorce, you will likely struggle with negative thoughts as to why divorcing is a bad idea. Sometimes marriages have run their course. Sometimes it is best to part ways. However, our brain takes us to all the reasons that this is a bad idea. Giving equal airtime to what might be better, if you divorced, is something worth exploring. Is there a possibility that things could work out for the best, that your life could be better? The answer is yes.  In this episode I discuss giving equal airtime to not only the negative of divorce but also the positive. The reality is that things could work out for the best, and you could find the peace and happiness and a new chapter of your life with amazing possibilities.  If you want to explore the possibility that life after divorce could be better than it is now, than listen to this episode.
Ep. 28 - Equal Airtime

Ep. 28 - Equal Airtime
Why do we tend to think about the negative of our circumstances more than the positive?   What would be different if we gave equal airtime to the positive possibilities or outcomes stemming from our divorce?   If you are stuck in the negative of things, you know that it doesn’t feel good, nor is it useful. In this episode, I explain an easy and powerful tool that helps you to look at the positive (along with the negative) possibilities of any circumstance or situation.   Our brains, many times, tend to automatically look at the negative. In divorce, it's easy to focus on the things that went poorly in the past, are going poorly now, and will go poorly in the future. It’s like an automatic default or negative bias that takes us there without us even realizing it. Giving equal airtime on the positive can make a huge different in your life and propel you to the results you want. If you want to have a more positive outlook at life, listen to this episode and try it out yourself. Enjoy!
