Ep. 93 - Thinking Greater Than Your Emotions: Interrupting the Mind-Body Feedback Loop
Manage episode 473047332 series 2802156
Ever notice how you can go from feeling confident… to spiraling in self-doubt… in a matter of minutes?
That’s not weakness. That’s a pattern.
And once you see it, you can change it.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the mind-body feedback loop—the often-invisible cycle where your body sends a signal, your brain assigns it meaning, and together they reinforce a story that feels true…even when it isn’t helpful.
This loop isn’t just frustrating—it’s familiar. It’s your nervous system working to create internal consistency. But internal consistency doesn’t always support growth. Sometimes it keeps you anchored to a version of yourself you’ve already outgrown.
We explore:
- Why change feels hard at the identity level
- How the brain and body mirror and reinforce one another
- What it really means to “think greater than your emotions”
- Why emotional tension isn’t a sign to retreat—but a signal to recalibrate
- And how to work with your mind-body loop to support who you’re becoming
This episode bridges awareness and application, giving you insight and language to interrupt old patterns—and reroute them with intention.
