​​Isn’t it funny (and not-so-funny) how we let our thoughts take up precious real estate in our head AS IF THEY ARE FACTS and each one is worthy and deserving of space?!  

Your brain should not be an equal-opportunity employer. Not all thoughts are welcome. Not all thoughts deserve space. Our brain’s ability to conflate thoughts with facts is something we must be keenly aware of.  

You suck. 

You’re the only one who can’t seem to figure this out.

You’re not ready. 

It’s too hard. 

You’ll never make it. 

You’re not as smart as… strong as… witty as… qualified as… organized as… successful as… 

All of these = thoughts. Not facts. Yet, boy oh boy do we give them prime real estate.  

The things we would never EVER say to others are the things we say to ourselves and then we unequivocally believe them as if they are facts.  

Problematic much???

In this episode, we talk through how to:

1. Stop telling yourself trash (lies) you wouldn’t ever tell other people
2. Start catching your default thoughts that are not true and are likely to cause harm
3. Evaluate your thoughts objectively and rationally
4. Ask yourself essential questions to discern thoughts from facts
5. Find evidence that supports facts and shuts down rotten thoughts
