In this powerful and deeply reflective episode, we explore what it truly means to release old stories and self-limiting beliefs in order to live a more peaceful, grounded, and authentic life. So many of us carry internal narratives shaped by fear, doubt, past experiences, and conditioned thinking — but what happens when we begin to question those stories and choose something more aligned with who we really are? Joining the conversation is Tara Mae Temple, author of Life Hacks for Healing & Harmony and a passionate advocate for inner peace and transformation. Together, we dive into practical tools, mindset shifts, and personal insights on how to break free from limiting patterns and reconnect with inner harmony. Throughout the episode, we explore questions such as:

  • How can we overcome self-limiting beliefs that keep us stuck?
  • What is the first step to quieting the inner critic and finding inner balance?
  • How can we rewrite old stories and step into new core life values?
  • Why is it important to practice negative thought cancellation in today’s fast-paced world?
  • What does it look like to replace personal limiting beliefs with empowering ones?
  • What affirmations can help us cultivate more self-compassion?
  • How do we navigate situations where we’re drawn into conflict?
  • What is one truth that can immediately shift how we approach our lives?
  • And what lasting impact does Life Hacks for Healing & Harmony aim to leave with readers?
This episode is a meaningful reminder that healing is not about becoming someone new — it’s about letting go of what no longer belongs to us.

00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.240
Welcome back to the podcast, the space where we explore healing,

2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:08.880
growth and what it truly means to live with more peace, purpose,

3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.160
and freedom. Today's episode is all about releasing the old

4
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:18.640
stories we've carried for far too long, the self limiting beliefs, patterns,

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.399
and inner narratives that quietly shape how we see ourselves

6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.839
and what we believe we deserve, because the truth is,

7
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.679
many of us are living from stories that were never

8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.799
really ours to begin with. Joining me today is author,

9
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:38.039
peace seeker and advocate for inner transformation. Tara is passionate

10
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.079
about helping people break free from old patterns, trust their intuition,

11
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.719
and recognize the signs the universe often places in front

12
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.159
of us when it's time for change. In this conversation,

13
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.359
we'll explore how storytelling can become a powerful tool for healing,

14
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.119
how to let go of beliefs that keep us stuck,

15
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.679
and practical ways to step into our highest potential with

16
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.200
more clarity, trust, and inner peace. This is a conversation

17
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.000
for anyone who's ever felt held back by fear, doubt,

18
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.799
or the weight of the past, and is ready to

19
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.519
begin living with a little more freedom and a lot

20
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:18.159
more self trust. Teara up. So many people feel stock

21
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.439
in patterns they can't seem to break, whether it's fear,

22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.280
self doubt, or believing they're not good enough. From your experience,

23
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.959
how can people begin to recognize and overcome the self

24
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.599
limiting beliefs that are holding them back from living a

25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.799
more peaceful and fulfilling life.

26
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.519
The answer lies in the last of the three elements

27
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.000
of ease, nurture, compassion for yourself and others. By establishing

28
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.239
new core values and a special technique to help you

29
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.159
terminate negative thoughts.

30
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.120
What do you believe is the very first step toward

31
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.040
finding inner harmony. When someone is struggling with their inner critic.

32
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.599
The first step is to develop new core life values

33
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.640
that will override old stories or perceptions you have about yourself.

34
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:10.080
For example, number one, destroying old beliefs or stories in

35
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.280
your mind and replacing them with empowering thoughts. Number two

36
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.680
grounding yourself to fight fear, Number three pursuing your dreams

37
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.360
starting now, Number four seeing goodbye to conflict, love is

38
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.800
the answer, and number five choosing happiness.

39
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.479
You've developed techniques to help people rewrite the old stories

40
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.159
they've carried for years. Can you explain how that process

41
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.280
works and how people can begin practicing what you call

42
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.080
their new core life values.

43
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.520
In order to embrace your new core life values, lead

44
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.560
behind what no longer serves you. I developed what I

45
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.919
call negative thought cancelation as it helps to rewire and

46
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.039
reprogram your mind to wipe out negative thought patterns. It

47
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.560
looks like this. For every single thought that came up,

48
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.759
replace it with a positive, uplifting thought. If you're not

49
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.080
visual that's okay. Just try saying a positive word or

50
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.120
phrase out loud or in your mind. First use the

51
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.319
interruption method, which will help you practice and TC. Step one,

52
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.800
identify the negative thought, be aware of it in your mind.

53
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.919
Remind yourself you don't have to accept it as true.

54
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.520
Step two pause and pinch your hand. Do this safely,

55
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.000
and step three choose a replacement word or phrase or thought.

56
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.360
Say it out loud three times. For example, I am

57
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:46.039
loved cancels out the negative phrase nobody likes me. Or

58
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.159
try visualizing a positive image or words that cancel out

59
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.400
the negative thought. Hold this in your mind for ten

60
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.520
to fifteen seconds. For even better results, you can write

61
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.000
down the negative thought, then cross it out and report

62
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.000
place it with positive words. Write it out at least

63
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.080
ten times. The sensation of writing words creates a connection

64
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.080
with your brain and is a great stress buster.

65
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.240
In today's fast paced and often overwhelming world. Why do

66
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.399
you think it's so important for people to practice negative

67
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.319
thought cancelation.

68
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.720
I believe that ruminating thoughts and self limiting beliefs are

69
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.480
the root causes of distorted thinking, which can lead to

70
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.319
self sabotage and can have a negative impact on relationships

71
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.160
and the way we perceive ourselves. The secret is to

72
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:43.240
continually practice negative thought cancelation. Never stop doing it. Try

73
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.519
adopting it as a lifetime practice, and notice more good

74
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.959
things come flowing into your life. It leads to a

75
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.000
better outlook on life and improve self concept, a healthier perspective,

76
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.839
and a happier, more peaceful you.

77
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.560
Can you share a person no example of a self

78
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.800
limiting belief you once struggled with and what it looked

79
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.279
like to replace that belief with a healthier core value.

80
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.439
That's a great question. I'd love to give you an

81
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.279
example of a self limiting belief and what it looks

82
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.399
like to replace that with a new core value. So

83
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.800
I destroyed my old fake story that nobody likes me

84
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.399
by eliminating the fake stories in my mind. I did

85
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:33.000
this by applying negative thought cancelation. Step one, I identified

86
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.360
the negative thought, I paused as step two and pinched

87
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.959
my hand lightly to prompt me to find a replacement

88
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.360
thought or phrase to cancel out the negativity. And step three,

89
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.399
I wrote down my bad thoughts on paper, crossed out

90
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.800
the words, and replace them with a joyful statement that

91
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.160
reaffirms something positive about myself. I did this three to

92
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.120
ten times. Try doing this but for bedtime to help

93
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:07.360
reprogram this new concept into your brain. So the fake

94
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.519
story I was telling myself for decades on end was

95
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.439
that nobody likes me or I'm not good enough. And

96
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.279
so I came up with a positive story, which is

97
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.800
a new core value number one that goes like this,

98
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:27.600
everyone likes me because I am kind and caring. Writing

99
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.519
the statement down and reciting the words out loud to

100
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.360
myself while picturing a heart balloon getting bigger. I felt

101
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.959
a wave of empowerment as I canceled out my negative

102
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.000
thoughts and replaced them with empowering statements. I felt joyful,

103
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.800
tingling sensations throughout my body and a sense of relief.

104
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.639
I encourage you to practice negative thought cancelation, to erase

105
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.199
your old, self limiting beliefs and think of it as

106
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.040
your superpower to resist negative thoughts and have peace of mind.

107
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.759
I guarantee you it works. It's a game changer.

108
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.240
Tara. What is one affirmation you'd like to share with

109
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.480
our listeners today that can help them cultivate more self

110
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.160
compassion and inner peace.

111
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.279
Great question. An affirmation I'd like to share with their

112
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:25.079
listeners about having more compassion is this. I refuse to

113
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.639
be my own worst enemy. I leave behind my inner critic,

114
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.920
I do away with destructive thoughts. Now's the time for

115
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.439
self compassion. I turn on the switch of love and

116
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.439
turn off old beliefs. My daily promise to myself is

117
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.360
to discipline my mind by practicing my core life values.

118
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.480
That's the way to peace, and I'll walk that path

119
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.319
every day.

120
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.680
What advice would you give to people who find themselves

121
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:58.600
repeatedly drawn into conflict or emotionally draining situations.

122
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.360
My advice would be say goodbye to conflict because love

123
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.800
is the answer, and that would be my newcore value.

124
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:12.079
Number four. Love is a key ingredient to peace. In

125
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.000
order for me to attain peace and harmony, I had

126
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.480
to attempt to love more, knowing that the parasite in

127
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.120
my mind thrived on conflict and drama. I realized I

128
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.360
was scoping out conflict because I feared others judgment. When

129
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.959
you have conflict in your heart and mind, it attracts

130
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:33.559
more conflict, and conflict is the opposite of love. When

131
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.639
you're easily offended like I used to be, it's tough

132
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.200
to live without conflict or drama. One day, I was

133
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.120
listening to a podcast and the host message impressed me.

134
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.840
Most people are thinking only about themselves in their interactions.

135
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.799
This was a light bulb moment. I realized that when

136
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.320
people appeared rude or said something offensive, I needed to

137
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.159
embrace love and peace in my mind. So I started

138
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:03.720
saying a silent prayer on repeat, God help me love,

139
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.919
or Holy Spirit Help me Now. The idea for this

140
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.080
mantra came from the wisdom of doctor Wayne W. Dyer.

141
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.519
My faith set me free from wanting to start an

142
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.879
argument and no longer search to find fault in others

143
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.720
or deplete in my energy stores by analyzing others' behavior. Instead,

144
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.159
I nurtured my mind, body, and soul and surrendered. I

145
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.399
sent silent blessings to others and focused on love.

146
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.080
What is one thing you want listeners to truly understand

147
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.279
right now that could make a meaningful difference in their

148
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:42.440
lives moving forward.

149
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.840
Well, I want listeners to know that you have the

150
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.360
power to choose peace. You deserve to feel fulfillment, joy

151
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:58.840
and harmony. The first step is awareness, self acceptance, and

152
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:04.399
self love. Then diminishing yourself limiting beliefs by seeing yourself

153
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:08.360
in a new light and negative thought cancelation is the

154
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.879
secret key to help you get closer to having a

155
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.200
healthier perception of yourself and a better outlook on others

156
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:17.480
and the world around you.

157
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.120
What lasting impact do you hope your book Life Hacks

158
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.720
for Healing and Harmony will have on readers And what

159
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.759
can people do to continue benefiting from these tools and

160
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.159
strategies long after they finish the book.

161
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.679
I want readers to feel fulfillment, joy, and an inner

162
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.440
piece that will carry them through life as it ebbs

163
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.120
and flows. I encourage readers to revisit specific chapters based

164
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.519
on what they are struggling with and consistently practice the

165
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.320
harmony strategies that work best for you. This will result

166
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.000
in a shift toward transformation in higher consciousness. Engage in

167
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.879
the writing exercises in journal often to purify and let

168
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.960
go of toxic emotions that weigh you down. The exercises

169
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.039
and harmony practices are tools for you to process hardships

170
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:17.039
to help you feel lighter and at peace within your mind, body,

171
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:17.840
and spirit.

172
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.799

powerful reminder that we all have the ability to release

old stories, quiet our inner critic, and create a more
