Most people use the words brain and mind interchangeably, but they're two completely different systems. In this episode, Laura walks you through the distinction that changes how you relate to your own thinking. You'll learn the difference between brain thoughts and mind thoughts, why trying to fight your brain thoughts creates massive biological resistance, and a practical approach to building new thoughts that doesn't require you to argue with the ones you already have. This is the foundational episode that sets up everything coming next.

This episode covers:

• The exact distinction between the brain (biological structure) and the mind (philosophical framework)
• The four functions of the mind: analyze concepts, make judgments, assign meanings, determine values
• A simple way to distinguish brain thoughts from mind thoughts
• Which brain thoughts to pay attention to (and which ones to leave alone)
• Why trying to fight or change a brain thought generates biological resistance
• How a mind thought can become a brain thought
