8. Default Setting Versus Intentional Setting

Have you ever wondered why you think the way you do? In this episode, Wendy dives into our brains settings- Default Settings versus Intentional Settings. It turns out that our brains come with a built-in default setting, kind of like a preloaded program. This default setting is shaped not only by our genes, but also by the experiences we have, our parents, our upbringing, and even the places we grow up in.But here's something you probably didn’t know: we also have the power to choose intentional settings! These intentional settings are the thoughts we deliberately decide to think. Unfortunately, many of us go through life on autopilot, unaware that we're operating on default mode. We don't even realize that we can actively choose our thoughts and shape our own mindset.That's why Wendy emphasizes the importance of becoming aware of our default setting. Once we become aware - we can start to make conscious choices about what we want to think and believe.  By recognizing the beliefs and thoughts that naturally control our minds, we can take charge of our thinking. It's all about breaking free from the default setting and starting to set our intentions on place. Tune in to discover the power of how the mind works when it comes to default versus intentional setting, and how leaning more into intentional settings will help us reach our goals and ultimately build the life we want.On this episode you’ll learn:• The difference between the default and intentional setting. Default settings are the beliefs and thoughts that come naturally to us based on our experiences and upbringing, while intentional choices are the thoughts we consciously choose to think.• How important it is to be aware of our default settings and actively choose to move into intentional settings. This awareness can help us live a more intentional life and create changes in the way we think that will help us reach our goals.  • How thoughts can turn into beliefs and create neural- pathways in our brains. The importance of the thoughts we think and how they become beliefs we feel in our body and then eventually become the actions we take. • How default beliefs can shape a person's behavior and how we can recognize and change these default beliefs by reflecting on and identifying  the thoughts that no longer serve us.• Shifting from default settings to intentional settings- by choosing what we think and what we believe. • The connection between our thoughts and beliefs and the results we create in our life. Connect with Wendy:Inspired Action WebsiteJoin Wendy's Email ListWendy’s WebsiteWendy’s InstagramWendy's LinkedInWendy's TikTokE-mail Wendy
