Your mind will lie…

TAKING ACTION:

✅To wrap up our mindset week, what belief do you carry around that’s no longer serving you? Let’s share today. 🫶

Did you know your brain will lie to you? Do you know why? It’s not because it’s trying to sabotage you. It isn’t trying to make you fail. It’s because 95% of your thoughts and actions stem from your subconscious mind. Things you learned when you were very young (between the ages of 4-7) are quite literally controlling you today—and you don’t even realize it. Even scarier, you don’t even REMEMBER most of the things you heard or learned during this timeframe, yet the memories are stored in your subconscious. 🤯

I know—it’s wild.

But it’s true. 💯

Let’s look at a few examples of things that could be affecting your thoughts and actions today:

🧠 Your mom was always on a diet when you were young. You may not even remember this, but if she was, you’re likely affected by it today.

🧠 You heard things like, “Too much of that candy will make you fat.”

🧠 Or, “You’re not fat. You just have big bones.”

🧠 Or, “Oh, don’t worry. That’s just baby fat. You’ll grow out of it.”

🧠 Or, “If you lost just 5 lbs., that dress would fit perfectly.”

Do any of these resonate with you? Again, it’s important to remember that you may not even recall moments like this, but if they occurred, your subconscious mind might be holding onto them.

This is how your brain lies to you. You still believe these things even though they aren’t serving you anymore! The first step to overcoming negative thoughts is to realize they’re coming from your subconscious mind, and likely aren’t true—and when something isn’t true, it certainly doesn’t need to dictate your life. 💯
