Todayyy we talked all about how maybe we don't really want everything to be easy. It feels good to work for a dream. We talk about how OCD or anxiety can make us give things up that we really want…
Before we go any further, today's main topic is I've wanted to talk today about trying to rewire your brain or at least just accepting that working will win while wishing won't, that working for something feels good, and you don't actually want things to come easy even though we may think that we do or we have our mind is, like, wanting answers and wanting things quickly because it thinks that that's what's supposed to happen.
Whatever the reason is for us feeling like we're failing if things are harder for us or if it's taking a while or if it's more challenging than we thought, it's more confusing, it doesn't feel 100% aligned all of the time, especially having anxiety or OCD, sometimes that, that doubting disorder can play a role in us overthinking dreams and the work that we wanna do and different things we want to accomplish in life.
And it can be really frustrating because we may feel like, because it makes us feel like if we don't feel aligned with what we want to do in every single second of that journey, then we probably shouldn't be doing it, which I think is just a total lie.
I, I don't think anyone feels like that with anything they do all the time.
I mean, maybe, but at least not for me, and things that I really care about, too, have just been hard.
And we have fluctuating emotions and feelings as humans, and especially as women, so things go up and down and up and down.
So that's what we're talking about today.
I wanted to just talk about rewiring your brain and, you know, not so literally, but just the idea of maybe letting go of the idea that things need to be easy and they should be because it feels a lot more freeing and open and possible when you acknowledge that maybe you want things to be hard and challenging.
And maybe that's really what we're looking for deeply and not just what our brain, our dopamine, you know, our quick outcome brain is wanting 'cause we don't have to appease that part of our brain all of the time, and it, that doesn't control our lives and nor should it.
