Gateway Episode #06 FIND YOURSELF – the questions podcast | How our mind can be our best friend and worst enemy

Welcome to the ‘Find Yourself - the questions podcast’, where we embark on self-discovery and personal growth.

On this Gateway Episode, we dive into maintaining a positive mindset and improving mental fitness. Our guest, Colin C. Thompson, shares his journey and tools to enhance mental fitness, relationships, peace of mind, and overall well-being.

Mental fitness is compared to physical fitness, with the ability to face life’s challenges without mental stress or negative emotions leading to greater happiness and achievement.

Colin discusses how our minds can be both our best friend and worst enemy and teaches listeners how to build positive habits and empower the part of their brain that serves them.

Throughout the episode, Colin emphasises the importance of self-awareness, understanding triggers, and addressing harmful saboteur voices that hinder our positive mindset. He provides practical steps, such as visualising and acting differently in challenging situations, starting with small triggers and gradually building resilience. Colin also shares his experiences, including managing anger towards his son during bedtime routines and using the techniques learned in a Positive Intelligence program to transform his behaviour and find joy in those moments.
