Deep Dive | Happiness Isn’t Your Brain’s Job—Alignment Is Yours 06/13/2025

Deep Dive | Happiness Isn’t Your Brain’s Job—Alignment Is Yours 🧠 Your brain’s job isn’t to make you happy. Its job is to keep you alive. To scan for threats. To protect you from risk. It doesn’t chase joy—it chases safety. It doesn't ask, “What makes me fulfilled?” It asks, “What could go wrong?” And your ego? It’s the voice that says stay small, don’t fail, play it safe. Not because it’s trying to ruin you—but because it thinks that’s how it protects you. But you—the real you—are here to do more than just survive. You’re here to create. To grow. To lead. And most of all, to live in alignment—where your heart and mind are on the same team. 💡 Happiness comes from progress—from becoming more of who you really are. But to do that, your heart and your brain need to stop fighting. And start collaborating. Here’s how to integrate your mind and ego for maximum living: Know their role. Your brain is the hardware. Your ego is the security system. You are the operator. Align your beliefs. Your brain looks for evidence of what you already believe. Install beliefs that serve your future—not just your past. Lead with your heart. When your heart sets the direction and your brain supports the mission—you step into your power. This is how you show up—not just for your clients or your business… But for your family, your community, and the version of yourself you know you’re becoming. 📩 DM me to schedule a 1-on-1 session or team brand workshop.

Deep Dive | You Are Not Your Thoughts - Lead from Awareness 06/05/2025

Deep Dive | You Are Not Your Thoughts - Lead from Awareness You Are Not Your Thoughts – Breakdown In Don't Believe Everything You Think, Joseph Nguyen emphasizes that thoughts are not reality—they are simply mental activity that we often mistake for truth. The core idea behind this principle is detachment from thoughts, which can free us from unnecessary suffering. Key Concepts in This Chapter: Thoughts Are Like Passing Clouds Just like clouds pass through the sky without affecting the sky itself, thoughts pass through our minds without defining who we are. We suffer when we believe every thought we have, especially negative ones, instead of observing them as temporary occurrences. The Mind is a Storyteller Our brains generate stories about who we are, what we can or cannot do, and how the world works. These stories are often based on past experiences, conditioning, and fears rather than objective truth. Many of these stories are self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from happiness and success. Observing vs. Identifying with Thoughts Instead of automatically believing every thought, we can observe thoughts like an outside witness. This detachment allows us to recognize that just because we think something doesn’t mean it’s real. For example, if we have a thought like "I'm not good enough," we can step back and ask: "Is this absolutely true, or is it just a thought my mind created?" Emotional Freedom Through Detachment When we stop attaching to every thought, we gain emotional freedom. If a negative thought arises, instead of spiraling into anxiety or self-doubt, we can choose to let it pass rather than engage with it. This helps reduce stress, worry, and self-judgment. Practices to Detach from Thoughts: Mindfulness: Paying attention to thoughts without judgment, noticing them as they arise, and letting them go. Meditation: Sitting in silence and observing the mind’s activity without engaging in it. Questioning Thoughts: Asking yourself, "Is this thought true, or is it just a mental habit?" Focusing on the Present Moment: Thoughts often pull us into the past (regrets) or future (worries), but peace exists only in the present. Example from Daily Life: Imagine you’re about to give a big presentation, and your mind starts saying, “I’m going to mess up. Everyone will judge me.” Instead of believing this, you pause and recognize: “This is just my mind trying to predict the future, but it’s not reality.” “Even if I feel nervous, it doesn’t mean I’ll fail.” By not attaching to the thought, you regain confidence and reduce anxiety. Final Takeaway: Your mind is constantly generating thoughts, but you don’t have to believe them all. By learning to observe your thoughts instead of identifying with them, you can cultivate inner peace, clarity, and freedom from unnecessary suffering.
