You know how misunderstood you can feel when you are sad or angry and someone seems desperate to cheer you up because your emotions make them feel uncomfortable?

The words we use are a representation of our current thoughts, and our current thoughts determine our future. If we wish for more clarity, freedom and excitement in our life, it's time to stop saying "I don't know" and "it's unrealistic." As Will Smith said, "being realistic is the most commonly traveled path to mediocrity." I couldn't agree more.

Think about difficult times in your life. Or small moments that are engraved in your memory forever. What did you need to tell yourself at that time or moment in order to feel better or just to get through it? Do you still carry those beliefs today? Do they show up unconsciously in your behaviour, your thinking, your relationships? Do they get in the way of the person you want to be? How can you let go of those heavy outdated defenses? That's what we explore on this week's episode.
