𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤:

"𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑓 _________?"

Most of us automatically finish that sentence with our worst-case scenario.

This week, try a different approach.

Instead of: What if I fail?

𝐓𝐫𝐲: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝?

Instead of: What if they say no?

𝐓𝐫𝐲: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐬?

One of the biggest challenges Julie Menden hears from clients is the tendency to focus on negative stories about the future. 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.

What's one positive "what if" you're choosing this week?

🤔🧠Wisdom Wednesday #2: Don’t Forget the Yet🧠🤔

What's something you've been telling yourself you can't do...
..yet?

Share it below⬇

Julie Menden believes one of the most powerful words in personal growth is yet.

Instead of: I can't lead a team. I can't speak in front of a crowd. I can't handle difficult conversations.

Try: I can't lead a team... yet. I can't speak in front of a crowd... yet. I can't handle difficult conversations... yet.

That simple shift changes the focus from limitation to possibility.

📆Join us on November 5th
📍 @ Delta Defense, LLC for Unboxing Potential and learn more about developing confidence, resilience, and a growth mindset.
