In this episode of the Mind Over Money podcast, Jessen dives into the mental mechanics behind “bad days” and how unchecked negativity can spiral into long-term stagnation—especially when it comes to making money and progress in life. He breaks down how your mindset shapes your internal reality and ultimately determines your results, and he offers practical tools to regain control when your day seems to fall apart.
Key Takeaways:
Your bad day isn’t just “bad luck.” it’s often a result of your internal filters and the commands you send to your brain. Jessen explains how your Reticular Activating System (RAS) seeks to validate whatever you focus on so if you decide you’re having a bad day, your mind will find more reasons to confirm it. The antidote is awareness, reframing, gratitude, and pattern-breaking actions that realign your emotional state and decisions with better outcomes.
Podcast Highlights:
Jessen kicks off with a bold reminder: your emotional state controls your decisions, and those decisions create your outcomes. He unpacks how your brain processes everyday events through internal references that impact how you feel, act, and perform. By explaining the role of the RAS, he shows how simple mindset shifts—like seeing oversleeping as rest rather than failure—can transform your energy and momentum. He shares actionable ways to reverse a downward spiral, such as gratitude, physical activity, and meaningful distractions that help reset your perspective and keep your day from derailing your goals.
