In this brief podcast segment, Betsy Guerra opens by highlighting how people often construct mental narratives that feel uncomfortable yet are untrue. She emphasizes that while thoughts are powerful, we are not obligated to accept every thought as truth. She then offers a concise, simplified psychology lesson that explains the difference between thoughts and beliefs and how these mental constructs combine to create an individual's perceived reality. The goal is to empower listeners with the insight that they have significant control over their lives by learning to recognize and choose which thoughts and beliefs to endorse.

Chapters

How many times do we create realities in our heads that make us feel a very uncomfortable way, and ultimately they're not true? Our thoughts are powerful, but we don't have to believe all of our thoughts. So today I want to give you a little psychology class where I teach you in a very simple way what thoughts are, what beliefs are, and what reality comes to be ultimately. It's very simplified, but I think it can convey how much power we have over our lives, over our reality. You ready?
