📻 Your brain plays background music



Hey Reader,

Do you remember the first thought that popped into your mind when you woke up this morning?

Was it:

“Ugh, I need 3 more hours of sleep.” “Mondays are the worst.” “Today’s going to be a good day.”

Our brains start offering us thoughts before our feet even hit the floor. And once you start paying attention, you’ll notice those thoughts usually carry a certain vibe.

I like to think of them as music stations.

There’s a specific energy behind them that’s worth tuning into.

Last week I hosted a workshop where we talked about the stations we automatically tune into. Then deciding whether to turn up the volume because it’s helpful, or switch to a different station that feels more supportive instead.

This week, my challenge to you is to notice the background music playing in your mind and consider naming your go-to stations. Once you name them, they become easier to turn up or down.

Here are a few station names to get you thinking:

  • Everything Is Urgent FM
  • Push Harder Hits
  • Slow Down Stereo
  • Family Focus FM
  • Slow Morning Sessions
  • Not Everything Is an Emergency FM
  • Overthinker’s Top 40
  • Little Wins Lounge
  • Running Late Radio
  • Survival Mode Shuffle

Now I’m curious…

What station did you wake up to this morning?

And is it one you want on repeat this week? Remember, what you focus on grows.

Hit reply and let me know. I’d truly love to hear.

XO,

Missy

Hey Reader, Humans are nuts. We break barriers, surprise ourselves, and reinvent what is possible all the time. Every once in a while, someone does something that reminds the rest of us that our limits are often much farther away than we think. This weekend the world record for the mile was broken in London by Josh Kerr. If you want to see the crazy incredible feat, here is a link to the video. It will take less than 4 minutes to watch the actual race. 3:42.66 to be exact. As a runner it's...

Hey Reader, I learned a new word last week, courtesy of the brilliant Brene Brown. You're going to want to know it too! Confabulation. Confabulation: A lie, honestly told. It's fascinating. I've been thinking and talking about this concept for years, focused on the lies we tell ourselves that we believe without question. I've never had a word for it until this week. And now that I can name it, I see how often we confabulate. It's even more than I suspected! Here are two examples from my life...

Hey Reader, An idea to try on this week... Trying to think positive is getting in your way of thinking and acting powerfully. So often my clients tell me what's going on with them and then say some version of, "I know... I should think positive." And I typically disagree. Usually when someone says that, they are trying to put a positive spin on something they don't feel good about. I bet you can relate it. It's fighting reality rather than trying to get powerful within it. There is no shame...
