With time, she began to quickly see how pervasive her deceptive brain messages were and was able to Revalue them (Step 4) by realizing that this was the feeling of social pain or self-doubt, but that those inaccurate thoughts and uncomfortable feelings did not have to be taken seriously or acted upon with habitual overanalyzing that led nowhere. While it’s true that you experience each of your thoughts, they don’t always represent what’s true about the world. Her TEDx talk, "The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong," is one of the most viewed talks of all time.

For now, try to practice being aware of your thoughts and having the humility to not believe everything you think. Thoughts and emotions are as important, maybe even more so, since they are the stimulus for our behaviors (and those eventual engrained habits). If only she could figure out how to act differently in the future, she thought, she could prevent this anxiety from coming up again. This happened because, at some point in the past, Sarah bought into her deceptive brain messages and fused them with her sense of self.It is only then that we can begin to understand why we can’t even trust ourselves, as our minds are made to survive and not to thrive. For Sarah, this meant that there were times when she really did think she was not deserving of love, attention, affection, or kindness from other people (or compassion from herself).
Rather, she would take the physical and emotional sensations she experienced at face value and use them as further evidence that she was a bad person who was fundamentally flawed in some way. When he's not busy petting his 3 cats that he's allergic to, he spends the rest of his time writing, teaching, speaking, and sharing timeless wisdom to help people discover their own divinity from within and how they are the answer they’ve been looking for their entire lives.Now, there is evidence to support this viewpoint: the gutting of social programs that benefit lower-income individuals, the sabotaging of the Affordable Care Act, big tax breaks for the rich, and so on. I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn’t believe them, I didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. To help Sarah, we taught her about the Self-Referencing Center, a specific part of the brain that can cause us to filter incoming information as having something to do with us. So rather than open-mindedly examining the validity of our thoughts, we usually prefer to just assume we’re right and move on.

If you’ve ever sat in meditation for 10 minutes, you’ve experienced that thoughts arise (and pass) quickly. Because her Self-Referencing Center was in charge, she could not take in this other information (including alternate explanations for her friend's response) or confidently know that she had done nothing wrong. e., deceptive brain messages) that disparage us, make us question ourselves or our worth, fill us with doubt or cause us to act against our best interests?
