Episode # 55- Cognitive Dissonance

Did you know trying to change your thoughts can cause psychological stress and exhaustion???

When we work on changing our thoughts, sometimes that can happen easily.  But sometimes we have to really work to believe a new thought.

Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort you have when your brain holds two competing beliefs.  And that makes it sound mild.  Sometimes we call it the "river of misery" when you are trying to change an old thought pattern and believe something new.

Struggling with this work, thinking it is not happening fast enough, or thinking maybe it is impossible for you IS NORMAL.  It is sometimes difficult and uncomfortable to believe something new.

Be kind, compassionate, patient, and loving with yourself when you do this work.

Know that struggling with it is normal, not a reason to beat yourself up or lose hope!

 

The only thing wrong with you is thinking that there is something wrong with you!!!
