Opt to Thrive…for Midlife Women
Manage Your Mind Mindful Moment: What Are You Making It Mean?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever had a moment where something small completely derailed your mood… and you weren’t even sure why?
In this week’s episode I'm getting uncomfortably vulnerable to give a real-life example of how to use one of my favourite mind management tools. In this episode I'm sharing a real-life moment from my Easter weekend that left me feeling hurt, embarrassed, and unexpectedly emotional—and how I used this simple but powerful mindset tool to shift myself out of it within minutes.
We talk a lot about how our thoughts create our feelings… but this episode takes it one step deeper.
Because often, it’s not just the circumstance or even the thought that’s causing the pain— it’s what we’re making that thought or circumstance mean.
Inside this episode, I walk you through:
- Why strong emotional reactions are actually a signal (not a problem)
- The powerful question that can instantly change how you feel
- How to challenge the meaning your brain is assigning to a situation
You’ll hear exactly how I unpacked a thought in the moment to uncover the deeper belief that was actually causing the hurt.
And most importantly, how I shifted it.
We can’t always control what happens.
We can’t control what other people think.
But we can question the meaning we give it.
And that is where your power is.
If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling over something small…
or carrying around feelings that don’t quite make sense…
This episode will give you a practical tool you can use immediately.
Takeaway to reflect on:
👉 What am I making this mean… and is that actually true?
