Your brain really, truly believes what you tell it.
Ever felt like your habits are unbreakable? Whether it's procrastination, nighttime snacking, or that end-of-day drink, it often seems like these behaviours are wired into our identity. But what if the real issue isn't the habit itself, but the story you’re telling yourself about it? In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, host Molly Watts dives into why some habits feel impossible to change and how negative self-talk might be reinforcing the loop.
Molly explains the science behind the negativity bias and how our brains treat repeated thoughts as evidence, making it harder to break free from these patterns. You'll learn about the brain's efficiency in forming habits and how our evolutionary biology plays a role in keeping us stuck in familiar routines, even if they're harmful. Molly introduces a practical tool called the 4S New Belief System to help you interrupt negative self-talk and create new, positive thought patterns.
By seeing, soothing, separating, and shifting your thoughts, you can start to rewrite your internal narrative and break those 'unbreakable' habits. This episode is packed with insights and practical advice that will leave you feeling hopeful and ready to tackle your own challenges. Don't miss out on this enlightening discussion that could change the way you think about your habits.
