Why less can actually be more — and why your brain rarely lets you see it. . . .
Today we’re taking on a really interesting study that revealed how our brains like to solve problems, and why our brains can default to adding more instead of taking away.
If you feel guilty slowing down, or if your default is to add one more thing to “fix” something in your life, this little pep talk is for you.
We’re Covering:
✔️ What this addition bias (of sorts) is
✔️ The study (published in Nature) that shows we overlook subtraction
✔️ How this bias sneaks into your routines, relationships, calendar, and health habits
✔️ Why doing less can unlock clarity, creativity, and energy
✔️ How overthinking drains your cognitive resources
✔️ A practical reframe to help you remove instead of pile on
If you’ve been pushing, forcing, overthinking, or trying to out-work your overwhelm - today's episode is for you.
