When Doing All the Things Isn’t Working: Why Your Brain Needs to Befriend Your Body
If I had a dime for each time a someone has said to me…
“Susi, I am doing all the things and it isn’t working, why haven’t I figured this out”…….
I could buy some pretty beautifully awesome soap.
Here is the thing about your body and brain.
Your brain wants to solve for everything
Your brain thinks it should 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄.
It will ask you to gather all the evidence, and “do” all the things to solve for the problem.
And while following this way of the brain will often you will get a solution.
It often isn’t the solution that gives sustainable results.
And you will cycle about… in and out of pain… over and over and over.
Because the solution doesn’t sit in your brain.
It is one of the craziest cosmic jokes going.
Our brain thinks it is so smart.
