Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Your brain loves a problem, even when there isn't one.

Isn't that fascinating?

Isn't that so good to know?

Isn't that so reassuring that whatever it is that's worrying you right now,

whatever is just on loop in your brain, it might just be your brain doing its very best job to

protect you and you might just be an utter safety instead. All might be well. Look, the science,

the research is very, very clear on this. Your brain has a negativity

bias, meaning it's wired to scan for danger. It's not looking for peace. It's looking for things

that might be threats to you so that it might protect you. So feeling calm feels weird.

Feeling calm feels almost suspicious. And when your brain, maybe when

went all as well in your life, when everything's at least relatively steady, your brain goes,

wait, wait, wait, wait, what am I not seeing? What am I not scanning for that can bite us in the

ass later? It's as if our brains would rather solve an imaginary issue.

I once heard Eckhart Tolle say that our brain is like a dog with a bone. It needs something

to think about unless you become conscious, can observe your thoughts and be the observer,

not the victim of the person who's always just reacting to

every thought coming up.

You know, I once read how Liz Gilbert, the well-known author, she said that every single

morning she has to do a Byron Katie worksheet, which is an amazing process, a process called

the work, go to the work.com, the workshops, the worksheets are free.

Byron Katie was one of my very favorite guests ever on the Let It Be Easy podcast.
