Hey friends! In this episode of The Scripture Girl Podcast, we’re diving into one of the biggest traps we all face: the mental replay cycle. You know the one—replaying arguments, stewing over someone’s hurtful words, or spiraling into “what if” scenarios. It’s exhausting and leaves us feeling anxious and stuck. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be this way! Today, I’m sharing an incredible tool that changed the game for me—the 90-Second Rule, based on the work of neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Dr. Taylor’s story is powerful. After a massive stroke silenced the left side of her brain, she experienced profound peace living solely in her right brain—the creative, intuitive side. This led to her discovery of the 90-Second Rule, which reveals that our initial emotional responses only last 90 seconds. If we’re still upset after that, it’s because we’re choosing to replay the thought that triggered the emotion. In this episode, we explore: How to stop feeding the mental replay loop. The neuroscience of emotions and the power of neuroplasticity. Biblical principles for taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5) and choosing peace (Philippians 4:8). Practical ways to pivot your focus and replace negativity with God’s truth. This tool has been a lifeline for me during some of my darkest times, and I know it can help you too. Let me know how it works for you—share your thoughts in the comments or message me directly! You’ll find a link to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s book, My Stroke of Insight, in the episode notes, along with a meditation exercise I created to help you release those replayed thoughts and embrace God’s peace. Let’s keep walking this journey together—one thought at a time.
