Summary

Beliefs are much like the apps we use on our smartphones; some we absolutely love, but some go glitchy and don’t serve us anymore, and we have the ability to simply stop using them. I’m showing you how to diffuse yourself from your beliefs, and inviting you to see all the choices available to you when you start seeing beliefs as separate from who you are.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 143, beliefs, and your smartphone.
0:10.3	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. How are you doing? What's going on in your world?
0:40.4	We're having a snow day. We're actually having snow day number two as I record this, which is really rare.
0:46.7	In Kansas, we don't have a lot of snow days. But nonetheless, there's a lot of snow on the ground and it's
0:52.2	kind of pretty and bright outside of my office.

1:08.0	And so here it is.
1:08.8	We're going to do it today.
1:09.8	Beliefs in your smartphone. So this is a lesson

1:42.1	or you're feeling stuck, you're feeling empty and hollow and you don't want to feel that way anymore, right? You don't believe you
1:49.2	love your life. So we have to understand, we didn't even have to use the term cognitive
1:54.4	diffusion, but we need to understand what it is. Most of us are just so busy thinking our own thoughts, our own cognitions, that we haven't even
2:03.9	considered the idea that the thoughts aren't true. We are so immersed in our own thoughts
2:11.0	that we don't see that they are optional. We're just swimming in them, right? We're experiencing them as our truth.
