Remember in elementary school how you learned to make sense of new words based on context clues? The words and circumstances around the new word gave you hints to what that word meant. You used everything surrounding that new word to better understand what you were reading.
Well, turns out we still use this trick to learn new things about the world...and thanks to those early lessons, it comes pretty quickly to us.
This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, we're going to take a look at the power of context to understand it even more.
Because: while this is a clever mental trick to help us make sense of the world around us, it's always based on our past experience and knowledge.
And when you want something (like freedom from anxiety, or a promotion, or patience with the kids) that you haven't had before? Well, you can't go searching around in your past for it. You'll come up empty-handed that way every. single. time.
Join me for this week's episode where we take a look at the power of context + I'm going to offer you a few tips for creating context out of your ideal future, instead of only depending on your past.
