EPISODE 12 | The beast in your brain 🧠 😈 ISN'T you!

When I was tuned into Anxiety FM 24/7, I believed everything I thought. Something in my world would trigger me Which led to a (mostly unhelpful!) thought (AKA Bob) Which let to a (pretty horrid!) feeling inside my body (AKA Toad) Which led to me making absolute and harsh judgements about myself and the world (AKA Francis) Today is Wake-Up Wednesday - today's focus is ALL about that third and final element of The Trio of Terror (that's what I call the make-up of The 3 Part Conscious Brain cycle I describe above). This third part exists because our brain is ALWAYS trying to make sense of this world. As humans we ALL just want an easy life, which feels lovely.  Only...that's not what this human experience is. This experience is a lot; a lot of the time. So the brain is ALWAYS trying to convert this "lot" into much less (in the hope that it feels much easier for us).  To do this, the brain wants to put ABSOLUTE Stamps on things; So it feels like it's in charge So it feels like it understands So it feels like it's making our life easier. It does this with thoughts of: "This is right" "This is wrong" "I am right" "They are wrong" "I am wrong" "They are right" When we work in these absolutes, we know that it's Francis (the fiend inside our brain) attempting to make us feel safer on this spinning sphere floating in the middle of The Universe; WHICH MAKES NO ACTUAL SENSE! The "Ideal" Self you (that's led by The Trio of Terror) deals in absolutes. And it's Francis who has to KNOW absolutely. NOT Actual You! So the next time you're driving yourself demented, trying to absolutely KNOW what to do where to move how to do it Happy Wake-Up Wednesday 💖
