Like you're not as good as you think you are. You're actually really stupid. You don't work as hard as you think you do. Maybe it's all going to fail. People don't like you. Your team doesn't believe in you. I'll make up so many stories in my brain.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think I've learned to detach from my thoughts. So, you know, I think for a long time trying to suppress them or not focus on them did not help me. But detaching from them and being able to look at them as... sentences in my mind rather than commands or facts has helped me understand that if I'm trying to do anything significant with my life, I'm going to have negative thoughts come up.

If I'm trying to do anything new, I'm going to have negative thoughts come up because anything new your brain sees as a threat. And so It's going to say, oh, that's scary and new, even if it's not bad. It's just new and unknown. And so we want to prevent you from doing it. So let's put these doubtful thoughts in here so that she doesn't do it because that could risk something.

So I just expect it as part of the process and I don't try to make it go away. I just try to detach from them enough to just take successful actions. And that is where I focus the most, which is like I just need to be able to detach from my thoughts enough that I can just follow the plan that I had. And that's honestly it. I don't even try to... I mean, yes, I can reframe them.

I would say I can refute them. Sometimes I look at it almost like the thought is on trial. Like, show me the evidence in either direction. Which is like, okay, cool. Evidence that it could be true. Evidence that it could be false. But both of these things are trying to create certainty. You know what I mean? We want certainty that our negative thoughts aren't true. But what if they are?

Life, like certainty is not guaranteed. Nothing's guaranteed. And so for me, it's like, I actually have even given up trying to find the evidence for a thought being true or not. I'm just like, you have no idea. Maybe it is. And maybe the worst thing ever happens. You're not going to know unless you go forward anyways.

Right. Like, is it true?

Right. Like, is it true?

I don't know. Maybe. But is it useful? No. Well, then I'm not going to think about it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Female specifically? You know, I've never identified as a female entrepreneur. I've just identified as actually a business person.
