On today's episode of The Momlife Mindset Podcast - let's talk confirmation bias. And the idea that whatever belief we have the most or whatever we tell ourselves the most - the brain will actually go out and find the evidence to confirm the belief. This is an incredibly interesting concept - especially as women and mothers. What we tell ourselves matters. And learning to change the soundtracks inside our brain matters.

I share how I've had many seasons where I've felt like "I'm not enough". Feeling overwhelmed and helpless and hopeless. Feeling outrageously high, unrealistic expectations of myself and others and in turn - feeling some level of disappointment often. Feeling like I'm different - like I'm the only one - like I have a hard time connecting to others because of how I feel so deeply. And with that - my brain consumes the world in ways that starts to support these thoughts and beliefs. It has been a hard mental battle for me for most of my life, but I've learned that awareness is key because it's what allows us to identify the thoughts that aren't real. Yes - our brain is that powerful! And it can create stories that aren't a depiction of the truth.

That's one of the most powerful things we can do as we continue to work through our mindset and mental health - learning to ask ourselves "is this thought real?" and "is this thought serving me?" It's a process...but a mindful one that's worth it so we can continue to train our brain to look for the good, see the good, feel the good and tell us the good day in and day out.
