Manage Your Mind Mindful Moment - A Prisoner in Your Own Mind
Manage episode 493551360 series 3570925
In this weeks mindful moment, Dr. Corina shares a powerful story about a recent conversation with a friend who seemed to have everything — the dream home, the partner, the businesses, the lifestyle — and yet found themselves caught in an invisible trap: a prison of their own mind.
What started as a casual catch-up turned into a moment of raw honesty about what happens when we spend our lives chasing “the next thing” — and how that constant striving can rob us of the peace, joy, and satisfaction that’s already available to us right now.
This episode is a gentle but profound reminder that happiness doesn’t live at the finish line. It lives in the now — in the process, the presence, the ordinary moments we often overlook while racing to the next milestone.
💡 In This Episode, Corina Explores:
- The hidden trap of success: how having it “all” still isn’t enough when joy is always postponed
- What it means to live in a self-made prison — and how to set yourself free
- Why chasing the next goal rarely gives us the lasting fulfillment we expect
- The power of mindset work and self-reflection in reclaiming peace and contentment
- Why the journey matters more than the destination
- How Corina applies this philosophy in her own full, beautifully messy midlife — balancing business, coaching, medicine, family, and health
- A powerful invitation to check in with your own life:
Where might you be holding yourself hostage to unrealistic expectations or outcomes?
🔑 Quote of the Episode:
“We really do get to make our own rules about whether we’re allowed to be happy. Why would we hold out on ourselves?”
