Why Your Mind Always Expects the Worst (And How to Retrain It)

Life is an Inside Job with Coach Mike Basevic

If you’re ready to understand what’s actually running your mind and what it would take to shift it at the root level, you can book a call with my team at http://nolimitsnation.com/book/ Do you ever wonder why your mind always defaults to the worst-case scenario–the pessimism, the skepticism, the catastrophizing–even when your reality is actually pretty good? In this episode, I break down exactly where that wiring comes from. It isn't your circumstances, and it isn't your brain malfunctioning. It's your mind doing precisely what it's been trained to do by your childhood environment, your schooling, the 24/7 news cycle, and years of your own self-talk. Your subconscious mind learns exactly like AI. It never forgets what you feed it, and it keeps serving you more of the same. I share the story of my client Phil–a successful 52-year-old dealing with crippling anxiety who got his "childlike happiness" back. I explain why there's no such thing as a negative emotion, and lay out how to start retraining your mind so that your thoughts can stop scaring you and instead start serving you. “Think of AI. Everything you feed AI, it learns, and it becomes better at it…Well, your subconscious mind is the same, and your subconscious mind learns from you.” ~Coach Mike Basevic Resources: The Broken Sage by Coach Mike Basevic - https://thebrokensage.com/ Free Training from Coach Mike - https://nolimitsnation.com/free-training-afe/ Connect with Coach Mike Basevic: Website - https://nolimitsnation.com/ Facebook Group - https://web.facebook.com/groups/FreedomFromAnxiety/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theanxietyfreeexecutive/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/no-limits-nation/
