In this episode of the She Finds Joy podcast, Kim Strobel discusses tools we can use to retrain our brains with positive beliefs. Our beliefs drive everything in our lives: what we think we’re capable of, how much value we think we can command, and even how we show up for ourselves and others. Developing a growth mindset is key to overcoming negative beliefs.

In today’s episode, Kim talks about…

• How your belief system drives your perceptions of the world and how you experience life. 
• The way that self-doubt undermines our abilities—you totally have the skills to open that business you’ve always dreamed of! 
• How you can quit sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts and peel back the golden nuggets within yourself. 
• The way that affirmations can help you realize your full potential. 

“As women, we need to get over our feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy. This is our flaw, women, and it’s time to get over it because when we don’t believe in ourselves, then that is automatically hindering us from being able to put what it is we want to put out into the world.”

Kim’s top tips for positive affirmations:

• Your words are powerful—choose your words carefully, especially the words you use when you talk to yourself. 
• Don’t let other peoples’ opinions of you change your opinion about yourself. 
• Select the people you spend your time and energy on carefully. You should never waste your time on people who don’t want to help you celebrate your wins and triumphs. 
• Write your affirmations every day. They help to retrain your brain to believe that those big dreams of yours are really, truly, possible.
