Show Notes:
Hey there, I’m Chris Panek, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Coach, and the host of the Mastering Your Small Business Finances Podcast, and I want to welcome you to this new series I’m doing on this podcast. My intention is to drop one of these additional episodes every Monday while I continue to provide you with the regular Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast episodes, which will continue to help you take control of and understand your business finances with topics that ultimately impact your bottom line. I have many business owners, accountants, and other high-stress professionals who listen to this podcast, and I want to get more help out there for individuals like you when it comes to mastering your mindset. I’ll be taking a few moments each week to touch on topics that many high-stress professionals are dealing with and provide solutions to help you increase your overall well-being. Because I know your time is valuable, just like the Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast, my goal is to keep these episodes short and straight to the point but full of useful information to help you succeed in not only your professional life but your personal life as well.
Is there anything you’ve experienced in your past that is currently influencing how you live your life? How often do you talk to others about things that happened in your past? Do you let your past dictate how you live your life, or how you think your future will be? Did you know that you have the power to change your past? Your past no longer exists. It is over, but you are able to live in the present and can envision your future. What you make of your present and your future is all how you think about it. Let’s dive in…
When you are thinking about your past, you are not reliving your past, you are simply thinking about it. Your past is over, everything in your past already happened. You can’t change your past, but you do have the power to change how you think about your past. Whatever you are thinking in this moment is what is impacting you in this present moment. The story you tell yourself about your past is what is creating your current life.
I want you to think about something that has happened in your past, and how you would tell the story about it. Now, if I asked someone else about that same situation, I’d likely hear another story. Someone else’s perspective. They may be similar, or they may be totally different stories. You have thoughts about this past situation and they also have thoughts about this same situation. For example, let’s say you were in a baking contest. You all know I love to bake. If you won first place in this baking contest, you’d probably have some pretty good thoughts about it. Now, let’s take a look at what the second place winner may be thinking. Their story may not be as exciting as yours. It’s still the same baking contest with the same outcomes, but do you see how everyone will have a different story about it. They all would have different thoughts about what happened. You could easily pick out the facts. You could all agree on who took first place, and who took second place, but each story around it would be different. It’s the thoughts you have about what happened in the past that are influencing you in this present moment. How are you letting what happened in the past impact you or your life right now? If you would have taken second place, would you think that you are not good enough, or would you think that you are almost the best baker in the contest? You get to choose. The past is over, the contest is over, and you get to choose how you want this past event to influence your present and future.
