Life Coaching with Christine Hassler EP 278: Break Your Addiction to Negative Thinking with Danielle
Do you know the value of positive thinking but just can't seem to shift out of negative thinking? This coaching session is about expectations and shifting negative patterns. During this call, we examine Danielle's past to understand what formed her current expectations and get to the root of why she is sabotaging herself in relationships.

Any habituated response, feeling, or pattern of behavior you are currently engaged in was created a long time ago and you created it for a reason. If you really want to shift something you must get curious about the origin of it.
Your expectations about what could or could not happen in your present or future life are based on what has happened in your past until you consciously choose to update them. Significant life events and/or repetitive events trigger us to form beliefs. These beliefs cause us to form expectations about life, others, and ourselves which impact our present and create our future.
And, any "negative" pattern we want to change has a payoff and usually can't be changed overnight. That's why it is important that we learn what the payoff is and learn how to get it in a more positive way.
While it's important not to become a victim in your life or be stuck in your story so much so that your past becomes an excuse or scapegoat for why you don't have what you want, it is important to acknowledge it and understand how it is impacting you.
