Ever feel like change is a mountain you just can't climb? This episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast might have the answers you've been looking for. Host Molly Watts tackles the concept of 'belief echoes' - those pesky, well-worn thoughts that seem to define us. You know the ones: 'I always give up' or 'I'm not consistent'. Molly explains how these thoughts aren't facts but rather echoes your brain has protected over time.
Using neuroscience, she reveals how our brains love familiarity and often reinforce these echoes, making change feel tough. Molly dives into the science behind confirmation bias, explaining how your brain filters the world to match what you already believe. This episode is all about recognising these belief echoes and learning how to shift them. Molly shares practical, science-backed steps to help you start thinking differently.
By noticing and naming these echoes, you can begin to quiet them down and build new narratives. Molly's approach is not about toxic positivity; it's grounded in accurate neuroscience. She emphasises the importance of bridge beliefs – small, believable thoughts that help you transition from old patterns to new ones. With her relatable anecdotes and gentle humour, Molly makes complex concepts accessible and offers hope to those feeling stuck.
If you're ready to challenge your brain and change your narrative, this episode is a must-listen. Molly's insights might just be the spark you need to start echoing something new. Why not give it a try and see where your thoughts can take you?
