They are thoughts that make you think you are failing, behind or an imposter. In today’s podcast I will teach you 7 ways to redirect these thoughts. I will also explain the origin of these thoughts and the impact they have when you don’t redirect them.

“I don’t know how to make him happy.” “I don't want her to cry.” “I need to make sure she understands.” “I don’t want them to feel disappointed.” “I want them to feel like I care.” What do each of these thoughts have in common? They have you trying to control how someone else feels, which is actually something that is never in your control.
