Ep. 117 Why Your Brain Creates Stories (And How to Rewire Your Thought Patterns)
Have you ever been completely convinced you knew what someone else was thinking… only to find out you were completely wrong?
Maybe it was an unanswered text. A short conversation. Your spouse's tone. A medical test result. Before you knew it, your brain had filled in the blanks and written an entire story.
In this episode, we're talking about why your brain naturally creates stories, why those stories feel so believable, and—most importantly—how to begin rewiring the pattern.
Together we'll explore:
Why awareness is one of the greatest gifts God has given us
The surprising neuroscience behind "intentional activity"
Why fear brain gets certain while love brain gets curious
A simple three-step practice (NOR) you can use this week!
Practical ways to interrupt spirals and retrain your attention
How tiny acts of faithfulness create lasting transformation
If you've ever found yourself overthinking, catastrophizing, assuming the worst, or replaying conversations in your head, this episode is for you.
💚 Keep Growing:
If today's conversation helped you recognize some of the stories your brain has been writing, Love Moves was written for exactly that journey.
It's not a book to race through—it's a tool to return to.
Through faith, neuroscience, everyday stories, reflection questions, and practical exercises, Love Moves will help you grow awareness, practice intention, and begin rewiring the patterns that shape how you experience your life.
