Mirroring: How we catch other's emotions and mirror them back.
09/26/21 • 30 min
Hello my friends, and welcome to the Discover Your Personal Power Podcast, the show to help you live a life filled with peace, purpose, and power. My goal on this podcast is to give you something fun and meaningful to make your day a little brighter. I want to help you find your light and your personal power within.
Do you ever find yourself in the process of reflexively emulating the behavior of someone else? Like seeing someone laugh and now you want to laugh too. Or seeing someone that is sad and you suddenly feel sad too. There is a totally natural and normal phenomenon called mirroring. More specifically we can call it neuronal mirroring or limbic synchrony or emotional contagion. Whether we like it or not as humans we seek to connect, it's primitive. Our primitive brain automatically wants to mimic the gestures, facial expressions, or words of those we engage with. Sometimes this can be good and sometimes this can be not so good.
Listen more to learn about this really cool phenomenon.
Let me know what you think.

Conquering the Voices in Your Head
How Can I Conquer My Critical Inner Voice?
In order to take power over any destructive thought process, you must first become conscious of what your inner voice is telling you so you can stop it from running your life. Once you identify the thought process and pinpoint the negative actions it is advocating, you can take control over your inner voice by consciously deciding not to listen. Instead, you can do the actions that are in your best interest.
Practice the Triple-A
AAA - Awareness, Articulate, Assign
First, become aware of the thoughts going on in your head, are they criticizing or coaching?
Next ARticulate the Change you want to make
Third, Assign a new thought that is more beneficial for the life you want to create.
Join me to learn how to conquer the voices in your head so that you pay closer attention to the one helping you create peace, purpose, and power in your life.
