What's God Got To Do With It?: Acting As If: When Downward Spiral Thoughts Rule Your Life

PART 1 of 4: Are you feeling stuck or battling self-doubt? Do you want to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your thoughts? If yes and yes, then "Acting As If" is for you! Amy Brown & Self-Image Scientist Leanne Ellington designed this 4-part series to help you shift your thoughts, so that "Acting As If" becomes possible for your brain to adopt. In each episode, you get effective strategies to break free from the grip of negativity & gain insights on nurturing an "emotionally healthy" brain.

In PART 1 you learn:

- Why "Acting As If" is not a matter of positive affirmations or fake-it-til-you-make it.
- Rewiring your brain for peace in the chaos
- Distinguishing the data vs the drama of your situation
- How to give yourself your own "reality check" to stop the downward spiral of thoughts in your brain.

We can all struggle with downward spiraling thoughts:

"Why did I eat that?"
"Why didn't he call me?"
"Why can't I stop that?"
"Does that make me a bad mom?"
"Why should I bother? Is this just how it will always be?"

Things like "fake it 'til you make it" + turning everything "into a positive" will NOT outsmart your brain...and there's a reason why.
