 Now those are called broken soundtracks. Negative stories you tell yourself about yourself and your world. They play automatically without any invitation or effort from you. Fear does not take work. Doubt does not take work. Insecurity does not take work. Your brain builds on overthinking's habit of negativity by doing three additional things. Lying about your memories. Confusing fake trauma with real trauma. Believing what it already believes. Now that you know your brain can be a real problem, do you want to leave your thoughts to chance?
