Your thoughts are happening all of the time. You have about 90,000 per day. They pretty much never stop.
Your brain was not created to be a cheer leader. It can’t tell the future because it is repeating the past. . It does not automatically tell you that you are the smartest and the bravest and best version of human. It does not cheer you on all of the time.
That wouldn’t be helpful because it has other jobs to do.
Your brain is an analyzer, a story teller, it is a problem solver, and it is a question answer-er (even when it doesn’t know the answer).
But it isn’t made to tell the truth.
So then, why do you believe it?
Why do you let the story your brain is currently telling you stop you from moving forward?
The more you begin to observe your thoughts, the more you will understand that they are just thoughts and nothing more.
Your thoughts and your actions are currently tied together, but they don’t have to be. They can and should be mutually exclusive.
You decide to show up, and then no matter what your brain does – you keep showing up.
You decide to be healthy and then no matter what your brain does you continue to make healthy choices.
You decide to be more financially responsible and no matter what your brain does you continue to be disciplined.
Your thoughts are going to happen. And your brain will keep doing its thing.
All you have to do is start observing what it’s doing – and stop believing it.
