Monday Motivation- “Hiding vs. Healing”

I'm doctor Charryse Johnson, and this is your Monday motivation question of the week. Will you hide or will you heal? In everything you do throughout the week, every decision you make, every choice you make, every thought you have, and every behavior you act out lets you know whether you're hiding or healing. Here are three ways you can aid yourself in healing as you go throughout your week. Number one, talk through your problems. One of the simplest and most common ways that you will find yourself hiding is avoiding conversations that are necessary for your growth.

Whether that's a self talk conversation or a conversation with a colleague or a loved one, it's time for you to sit and face the music. Number two, look at setbacks as setups for learning. We often tell ourselves that we failed. And failure is so finite, it locks up your lizard brain, the most paleolithic part of your brain. And as a result, if you view something as failure, it shuts your brain down, it shuts your nervous system down, and it paralyzes you. And it doesn't have to be that way. Setbacks are setups for learning.

Ask yourself questions. What could you have done differently? And how can you prepare for the next time? And the last and probably my favorite, is number three. Decide what you believe. Decide what you believe about yourself, about others, and about the life that you live. And if you decide that you don't like what you believe, know that you have the power to change it. Mastering your mind is your responsibility, but it's something that I know you're capable of doing. Continue to come back. Link in with me and on other platforms where we can connect, because I believe in what's possible, and it's time to get out of hiding so you can heal.
