By The Age of five, the word “NO’ is etched in our brains - happening at a startling 60,000 times.

And for a long time, the only window to the mind was through introspection.

This posed a methodological problem as a result of the unreliable and disruptive nature of meta-cognition — a state also known as” thinking about one’s own thoughts.”

We often experience it — the cycle of negative thought patterns clouding our perception of life.

Why is it perhaps, we tend to Have a Hard Time with the Word “No”

Our guest today, Rob White - shares how this ’intruder “ acts as an unwanted mental houseguest that stops you from conducting your daily affairs fruitfully, so your life can unfold like the beautiful symphony it’s meant to be.

Tune in to find out how to overcome it, in order to empower the infinite creating living inside of us all.
