Are you the author or victim of your own novela? I wasn’t really aware but the inner critic voice inside my head had been running completely unchecked for years… It was ruthlessly mean, super judgmental, completely unfocused and incredibly melodramatic!!!! (adding extra exclamation points to show just how melodramatic lol) The inner voice wasn’t simply observing or narrating what was happening in my life, oh no… It was creating these mega dramatic stories that would take any small situation or thing someone said or did and over react to such an extreme extent that I would spend hours replaying or reliving the same story in my head … and the more the story replayed the more fired up I got Let's be real... can you also relate to that? Because I am Brazilian, I like to say that my mind was filled with super melodramatic novelas… you know those Latin soap operas full of high-stakes drama, right? That’s it! My head was filled with novelas ALL THE TIME! The novelas were also often running on repeat… sometimes I would be watching season 3 episode 4 over and over again but I had no idea that I could stop or change the channel! But here is the worst part of it all… I was often the victim in my own novela being thrown around in the drama as if I was in a crazy roller coaster, with no control! I learned the hard way after being caught up in thousands of never ending, high drama novelas that our minds can be our biggest allies or our worst enemies… In fact I now realize that our minds can be the biggest ingredient of success … and here is why… What’s happening between our ears, the thoughts we are having (meaning the stories or novelas we are telling ourselves) determine how we feel, how we perceive things, how we act and in return the results that we get! But most of us, myself included, go through life not even aware of the ruthless stories (or melodramatic novelas) running unchecked in our heads … that inner critic voice beating us down, being so mean and holding us back, sounds familiar? The biggest shift happened when I learned to become aware of my thoughts, then to manage my mindset, then to lead my mind so we could co-create our dreams together I like to say that I went from being the victim of my novela to becoming the author, the creator of my novela. Turning inwards and learning to lead our minds (instead of letting it lead us) may be the biggest single thing we can do to achieve our big dreams … Would you also like to learn how to transform and reprogram your mind so it can become your ally instead of your enemy? I invite you to join a FREE MASTERCLASS I am hosting this week about the power of our minds to transform our lives and create our dreams Comment below or DM me for the link to register PS: I know just missed the Emmys with my novela performance for the post but I still had so much lol
