Ep. 5 | Controlling Thoughts vs Believing Thoughts: The Key to Mental Freedom

Have you ever had someone tell you to "just stop thinking about it" and you knew you couldn't? In this episode, we dive deep into why trying to control your thoughts actually makes them stronger, and explore a powerful alternative. 

Join me as I break down the neuroscience behind why our brains are designed to think constantly, explore the default mode network that creates our automatic thoughts, and share practical tools for working with your mind instead of against it. You'll discover the difference between controlling thoughts and believing thoughts and get actionable strategies for managing those persistent thoughts that hang around like a loud housefly.

 "The skill of not believing every thought you have is one of the most powerful tools you can learn."
