The Power of Becoming Self-Aware with Caroline Ferguson

Send us a text

On this episode, Jillian talks to mindset trainer and fellow Substacker Caroline Ferguson.

They cover a lot of ground in their chat including:

• Self-Awareness, which Caroline describes as the ability to “know ourselves deeply and being able to hear what’s going on with our self-talk"
• The number of thoughts we experience each day (including the stories we tell ourselves!) and why it’s important to recognize them
• The importance of tuning into your thoughts and how it’s like tuning into your “inner radio
• The “world’s most important question” to ask yourself as you’re learning to navigate tuning into your thoughts and feelings
• Carolines PACES tool 
• The importance of tuning in when you’re feeling good (not just when you’re feeling bad)
• How the stories we tell ourselves lead to our emotions
• How to tune into what you’re feeling in order to make a conscious choice about what to do next
• Emotions as data
• The importance of responding instead of reacting
• Caroline’s “emotional ladder” metaphor
• “When we have a ‘must’ we have an ‘or else’”
•  Messages around self-worth
