When Your Mind is a Circus - How to Tame the Monkeys!

Some days, our mind feels like a peaceful garden—things in order, some beautiful orchids hanging in the corner and a gentle breeze blowing.

Other days? It’s a full-on three-ring circus with monkeys swinging from the rafters.

Today we’re going to talk about how to calm the noise, reframe your self-talk, and cultivate a mental space that helps you, not hinders you.

Imagine your mind garden: what you plant, and water grows. If you plant kindness, confidence, and possibility, that’s what blooms. If you plant weeds of self-doubt and fear—well, those will grow too.

But here’s the tricky part—sometimes we don’t even realize we’re planting weeds. That quiet self-criticism feels normal because it’s been there so long.

Here’s the good news: you can change the conversation. And when you do, you change your life.

Now, once you realize your self-talk is shaping your reality, the next step is to learn how to reframe it, so it works for you, not against you.

I’m going to give you three ways to shift negative self-talk.

Then I'm going to share four mental wellness tools that help calm the mind, reduce overreaction in high-stress situations, and quiet those monkeys swinging in your mental circus.

Your self-talk isn’t just background noise—it’s the script you’re living by.

The good news? You’re the author.
