PART 1 of 4: Are you feeling stuck or battling self-doubt? Do you want to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your thoughts? If yes and yes, then "Acting As If" is for you! Amy Brown & Self-Image Scientist Leanne Ellington designed this 4-part series to help you shift your thoughts, so that “Acting As If” becomes possible for your brain to adopt. In each episode, you get effective strategies to break free from the grip of negativity & gain insights on nurturing an "emotionally healthy" brain.

In PART 1 you learn:

- Why "Acting As If" is not a matter of positive affirmations or fake-it-til-you-make it.
- Rewiring your brain for peace in the chaos
- Distinguishing the data vs the drama of your situation
- How to give yourself your own "reality check" to stop the downward spiral of thoughts in your brain.

We can all struggle with downward spiraling thoughts:

"Why did I eat that?"
"Why didn't he call me?"
"Why can't I stop that?"
"Does that make me a bad mom?"
"Why should I bother? Is this just how it will always be?"

Things like "fake it ‘til you make it" + turning everything “into a positive" will NOT outsmart your brain...and there’s a reason why.

Bobby talked about Tom Brady getting heat for holding his nose when jumping into a body of water. We now question Bobby's masculinity after he reveals something he didn't think was embarrassing to him. We might owe Lunchbox an apology because he might be suffering from a new disease. In Easy Trivia, Eddie is the first one on the board so we're hoping someone can slow him down early this season!

Ray found out someone from his past is now listening to the podcast and now he's nervous to talk about certain things with them listening. Lunchbox is confused on why the dentist, the doctors, and other offices make you fill out the same information multiple times after they have all of our information already. Plus Ray had to run to BAE when some 13 year old kids were walking through his yard and BAE took care of business. Also Lunchbox and Ray saw a smoke show on Broadway and we fill our listeners in on where she ended up in life.
