Listen "Episode 57: When the Scorpion Shows Up: Managing the Unexpected Thoughts"
Episode Synopsis
Summary: What do scorpions in San Antonio have to do with your mindset? More than you think.
In this episode of Running to Myself, Trisha Stanton shares a true story about discovering a scorpion above her head in the ceiling fan—and how it led her to a powerful reminder about managing our minds.
Just like regular pest control doesn’t prevent every insect from sneaking through, our daily mental practices don’t eliminate every negative thought forever. The goal isn’t to stop the scorpions completely—it’s to know exactly what to do when they show up.
✨ Listen in, and let this story remind you that the scorpions may still show up… but they don’t have to stay.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why negative thoughts (“scorpion thoughts”) are normal and expected
How to notice them without judgment or panic
A simple 5-step process to neutralize and redirect them
Why daily routines matter more than perfection
How to shift from frustration into curiosity and confidence
