9. Don't Listen to Everything Your Brain Tells You
Episode Summary:
The first thought you have is not the most true thoughtーit's just the thought you're used to having. On today’s episode, I explain how the different parts of your brain work together to keep you safe, but how that doesn't always lead to truth and happiness. I also illustrate how you can move away from beliefs and thoughts that are keeping you stuck exactly where you are.

I illustrate how you can move away from beliefs and thoughts that are keeping you stuck exactly where you are.
Your brain’s job is to keep you alive, not tell the truth. Our belief systems are essentially thoughts that we’ve repeated to ourselves over and over again. Luckily, there are ways to untangle and work through the first set of beliefs and thoughts, and get comfortable with those feelings.
I share tools for cultivating more compassion, curiosity, and self-awareness. You can train your brain to tap into thoughts that closely align with your thinking brain instead of your primitive brain and nervous system. Listen in to learn more about questioning your belief systems and discovering the truth.
