Instant Personal Transformation – Featuring Craig Polsfuss

In this enlightening episode of Linda’s Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Craig Polsfuss, psychologist, published researcher, speaker, and the author of the Amazon #1 bestselling book Reality-Shattering Insights. Craig shares his powerful story of instant personal transformation — a sudden realization that shifted his perspective from "outside-in" to "inside-out."

🔑 From Outside-In to Inside-Out
Craig explains that most of us view life from an outside-in perspective, believing that happiness and success are external — things we have to seek and work for. But when we shift to an inside-out perspective, we realize that happiness and fulfillment are already within us. We’re not experiencing our circumstances — we’re experiencing our thinking about those circumstances.

🌟 A Client’s Transformation
Craig shares a remarkable story about a client who was a heavy smoker. After working together for a while, they walked past an ashtray, and she suddenly realized that she no longer smoked. She said, "I didn’t quit smoking — I just don’t smoke." Once she understood that her stress and anxiety were coming from her thinking, not her circumstances, the need to smoke disappeared naturally.

🎬 Life is Like a Movie
Craig uses the metaphor of watching a movie in a theater. While the movie might be exciting or emotional, part of us knows we’re just watching a story. Life is the same — we feel our experiences, but they aren’t who we are. When we pause, relax, and allow ourselves to receive fulfillment rather than chasing it, life becomes more peaceful and joyful.

💡 Growth Through Every Experience
Craig reminds us that every experience — good or bad — is working for us, not happening to us. Challenges are opportunities for growth and transformation when we shift our perspective.

👉 Tune in to discover how shifting your mindset from outside-in to inside-out could unlock deep personal transformation and lasting peace.
