Manage episode 482801291 series 3282672
In this episode of The Brain Coach, Mary explores the roots of pessimism and what it often signals—a perceived loss of control, uncertainty about the future, or lingering regret. She outlines five strategies for disrupting negative thought cycles, including mindfulness and cognitive reframing.
Mary also reflects on the common fear of “falling behind” in life and encourages listeners to challenge that narrative by embracing the idea that there is opportunity for joy and growth in all stages of life. If you’ve been feeling discouraged or uncertain about your future, this episode offers thoughtful guidance to help you shift your mindset, reclaim agency, and reconnect with meaning at any age or stage.
