Why delusional self belief is a superpower (the neuroscience is wild)

from Truly Well · host Nicole Brøgger-Mikkelsen

"You have to be freakin delusional!!", is what I see all over my Instagram. This delulu is the solulu trend might seem ridiculous, but I went down a neuroscience rabbit hole — and what I found completely changed how I feel about it. It turns out believing before you see it isn't naive. Your brain is doing something real, and kind of incredible, when you do it.But I also found the catch. The exact point where "delulu" stops helping you and starts holding you back. And that part surprised me the most.I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as I did researching it! Thank you so much for listening 🥹 and don't forget to follow the podcast on Instagram!! I'm posting additional resources, lots of inspiration and motivation on there daily 🥰✨https://www.instagram.com/trulywellpodcast/Lots of love, Nicole
