Episode notes
Humans are prone to catastrophizing due to our natural inclination to create stories to explain our current situations, which may distort reality. Catastrophizing helps boost confidence and happiness by providing a sense of security. However, this storytelling ability can also lead to increased fear and limitation when we focus on negative outcomes. By becoming aware of our catastrophizing patterns and triggers and actively seeking out positives, we can shift our mindset, limit self-imposed restrictions, and improve relationships and overall well-being. It's crucial to identify and challenge these catastrophic thoughts to avoid self-sabotage and nurture healthier, more positive perspectives.
