Summary

One of the things that I’ve been working on recently is the concept of what I call “thought loops.” Essentially, a thought loop is a thought error that tends to happen in our brain and is reminiscent of the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but is something that we can easily control.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into what these errors are, how they present themselves in our lives, and how we can overcome them. I als0 explain how these compulsive and irrational thought loops have shown up (and are still showing up) in my life.

0:00.0	You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brookestio episode number 136.
0:06.4	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems,
0:13.2	and real coaching. And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brookestio.
0:20.9	Hello, hello, hello, my friends. How are you guys? Tell me.
0:26.4	Hey, out loud. Hey, I just moved from my office back into my house. I took the whole first front
0:34.3	part of my house that's supposed to be like the living room and the dining room, and I've turned it
0:41.1	into my office. So I am at home, and I'm adjusting to figuring out how to get my work done and not
0:51.6	be distracted by my adorable puppies and my kids. So that's what I'm up to today. So I'm actually
0:59.0	recording this podcast on a Saturday. I just went and took my son Connor to his soccer game. We just
1:04.6	got back, and I'm like, uh-oh, I don't want to be doing work on the weekends. But I'm actually
1:11.6	kind of excited to be able to do it because Chris is out of town. He went to October Fest with my
1:16.7	brother-in-law and some of our best friends. And Christian is golfing and Connors in his room
1:21.8	recovering from soccer. And so it's kind of nice to just hang out with you guys on a Saturday.

1:32.1	with on myself, and I know many of my clients are working on the same thing. And the terminology I'm
1:38.9	going to use for it is thought loops. And what a thought loop is is basically a thought error
1:47.6	that happens in your brain. So that's what we're going to talk about today. I'm going to tell you
1:51.2	guys what they are, how they present in your life, and actually some techniques on how to overcome
1:56.9	them. But before I do that, I want to have a heart to heart with you all. I very often get emails
2:05.5	from people who want to advertise on the podcast. I actually just had one of my colleagues ask me why
2:11.2	I've never advertised on the podcast. And the truth is I don't really like ads. I don't like it when
2:17.2	I'm listening to a conversation or I'm listening to a teaching. And then all of a sudden there's
