Setting those goals for yourself...really defining: what do you want in your relationships? What do you want for your physical, emotional, spiritual health?
How do you turn a rocky start in life into a story of triumph? In this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen chat with their niece, Alize Castellanos, about her inspiring journey from a tumultuous upbringing to academic success. Alize, co-author of 'Change Your Brain, Change Your Grades', shares her personal strategies for overcoming adversity, which include setting clear goals and managing automatic negative thoughts (ANTs). Growing up wasn't easy for Alize.
She spent time in foster care and faced the instability of not knowing where she would be living next. Yet, she found a sanctuary in education. By enrolling in early college, she pushed herself academically and rose to the top of her class. Her story is a powerful reminder that perseverance and education can pave the way to success. One major takeaway from Alize's story is the importance of setting goals.
She stresses defining what you want in all aspects of life—relationships, physical health, emotional well-being, and spirituality. Clear goals help you stay focused and steer clear of distractions and negative thoughts. Speaking of negative thoughts, Alize offers valuable tips for tackling those pesky automatic negative thoughts that tell you you're not good enough. She shares practical advice on how to silence these thoughts and keep your eyes on your goals.
This episode isn't just for those facing adversity; it's for anyone looking to achieve their dreams despite life's challenges. Tune in to hear Alize's incredible journey and gather some actionable tips to help you rise above your circumstances.
