Thankfully we were safe in the studio, and no significant weather-related damage occurred where our offices are located!</em></p> <p>In this podcast I talk about something that I battle with: “if only/should have/could have” thinking, and how I manage my mind to overcome this negative mental spiral. If we are constantly trapped in a web of “if only/I can’t/could have/would have/should have”, this kind of thinking can quickly become a toxic mindset that changes our perspective—the way we see and respond to the world. I know, I have been there many times! This is really something I have struggled with my whole life. Regrets and ruminations can really catch you in their snare and keep you stuck in a negative thought spiral, which, in turn, can impact your mental wellbeing.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sign up to Patreon to get access to full AD-FREE episodes, exclusive downloads, live Q&amp;As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf</p> <p>Read the blog here:&nbsp;https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-i-use-the-neurocycle-to-overcome-the-if-only-should-have-could-have-thinking-trap</p> <p><br></p> <p>OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:</p> <p><strong>-BiOptimizer’s MassEnzymes: For an exclusive offer for my listeners just go to&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttp://www.masszymes.com/drleaf%26amp;sa%3DD%26amp;source%3Deditors%26amp;ust%3D1668760392089384%26amp;usg%3DAOvVaw1SdVc9qsBNyZNXWk7slIr7&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1668760392100298&amp;usg=AOvVaw2N-M2tBvyewzVBs7lBrLIr"><strong>www.masszymes.com/drleaf</strong></a><str
