Hello Apartments friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. I put some pretty big words out in the universe last week at the closing of the podcast that I will follow up with a great one. Even as I said it I was a little worried that I might not be able to deliver but I put that thought out of my mind. See I recently just listened to the High Five Habits by Mel Robins and it really goes into the science of how powerful your brain is. In transparency I still haven’t high fived myself in the mirror but I am going to. LOL But one thing she talks about is self doubt and the confidence steeler our thoughts that we allow to enter into our brain really are. It’s so hard to silence the self critic within our brain especially for us people pleasers and overachievers. But with those thoughts apparently we train our brain to look for the things to confirm the negative talk. One of the tools she talks about is when those thoughts come in our mind we need to say “I’m not thinking about that right now”. Since listening to the book I have really embraced this approach and I think there might be some truth to it. So as I made that promise to you all and then the negative thought popped in my head I just said “not thinking about that right now”. So anyways listen to the book it’s worth it… I love that Mel Robins reads it herself too. So where do we head from here? You all know I like to tie things together and I like to circle back often times since I am a processor – as I get older I feel more comfortable and don’t have as much shame in my game for not being quick witted – there is a space for all of us in this glorious world. Two episodes ago Kristina Watts mentioned the drift – this is something her and I have talked about multiple times and even early on in our coaching. You see as she explained the other day and to me a few months ago the drift is the river you are flowing down and just going with the flow. Taking things as they come – self numbing with social media – online shopping – the thing you are allowing to prevent you from getting busy with whatever that goal or dream is. BIG and small.
