What a podcast this was with my soul sister Kwan Patton from Vision Of Life Coaching and Manifesting Your Wings Of Worth podcast on our Mental Health News Radio Network.On this podcast we “unpack” the act of STEPPING OUTSIDE OF YOUR BOX! Your box of fear, your box of playing and living small in this big world, your boxed mundane comfort zone, your box of perceived security and your weighted box of negative thinking.We share what it means to be willing to do, say and take action in a new and different way - even if that first step places you in an unfamiliar and vulnerable position (and the secret to know here is this… it always does).Take the step with Kwan and myself as we cross into the unknown and explore the big magic that happens when we find the courage to say YES! It is only when we are willing to let go of what we deem our “certainties” and willfully shed our self imposed walls of constrained normalcy that we get to experience the beauty and beckoning of what is waiting for us outside of our box!

It’s the hot new self help craze that hit Tik Tok around the first of the year and already has a staggering 149 million views. Lucky Girl Syndrome encourages you to create a positive mantra like “I’m the luckiest girl in the world, everything always works out for me and things happen easily, effortlessly and naturally for me….. I always get what I want!” These affirmations are then repeated numerous times a day to help counteract negative thoughts, beliefs and actions and draw into your life that which you have your mindset and positive thoughts geared towards.Sounds great right? Well hold on! Is it as simple as believing that all good things will come your way if you constantly repeat these positive sayings and maintain a positive outlook? Can it be that incredible simple? Can we really create the world around us with the power of our thoughts?Let’s get into the psychology of lucky girl syndrome and see what some critics are warning about concerning this type of positive psychology. It might not be exactly what you are thinking, or will it? One thing is for sure … it will positively make you examine your own belief system about your thoughts, attitudes and reality.
