Everyone’s brain is wired for disbelief because your habit-brain is simply trying to keep you safe and wants to avoid the threat of negative emotions (disappointment, shame, frustration, etc).
In order to ‘hedge our bets’ we often make our belief conditional on past results, hitting certain benchmarks, etc.
“I’ll believe in myself / my goal, BUT ONLY IF… I lose 10 pounds this month.”
Or
“I’ll believe in myself, BUT ONLY AFTER I prove it to myself first.”
Not only do we make our belief conditional on our results, but then we make our action and commitment conditional.
“I’ll keep taking action, BUT ONLY IF I keep getting results.”
Which means the moment the scale doesn’t cooperate the way you think it should, your belief, commitment, and continued action waiver.
Today’s podcast episode dives deeper into this topic of conditional belief, why it’s normal, and how you can move through it faster.
