From Automatic Negative Thoughts to Empowerment: Mastering Mindset with Bruce Barnes

Welcome back to MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business! In this episode, host Jennifer Glass takes on a topic that affects everyone—from the world's biggest achievers to those working through everyday challenges: negative thoughts and self-doubt. We all have that inner critic, those automatic negative thoughts that pop up without warning and threaten to derail our confidence and progress, both personally and professionally.

To help us break this cycle, Jennifer is joined by Bruce Barnes, also known as the logical intuitive and the founder of Actualize Your Full Potential. With a unique background combining logical, analytical thinking from years in computer programming with deep intuition cultivated through overcoming serious health challenges, Bruce offers listeners a powerful toolkit for shifting from negativity to empowerment. Together, they unpack the impact of “ANTs”—those Automatic Negative Thoughts—and show us how prevalent and persistent they can be.

But that’s not all: Bruce shares his simple but highly effective 333 Method for replacing negative thoughts with positive, action-oriented statements—and even illustrates how AI can help keep us accountable and creative in this transformation process. Jennifer and Bruce also chat about how driven professionals can avoid succumbing to the endless stream of negativity in the news, stay grounded during uncertain times, and make practical mindset shifts to see opportunities rather than obstacles.

If you’ve ever felt stuck by your own negative self-talk, or wondered how to build resilience in business and in life, you won’t want to miss the actionable advice, candid insights, and motivating stories packed into this episode. Get ready to learn how to identify your own ANTs, stomp them out, and step confidently toward your next big breakthrough!
