Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we show you how to stop getting bullied by your own negative thoughts by giving your brain a name. You’ll learn a simple way to step back from the noise in your head and actually talk to it instead of being crushed by it. From Mo Gawdat naming his brain “Becky” after losing his son, to Mike calling his brain “Bobby,” to using Buddhist tricks like meeting thoughts at the porch, the big takeaway is clear: you are not your thoughts, and you don’t have to let them run your life.⏰ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Outsmarting negative thoughts with one simple trick00:47 Mo Gawdat’s story of loss and naming his brain “Becky”08:13 How Mike turned his anxious brain into “Bobby”15:29 The Buddhist “meet it at the porch” method22:45 What are you going to name your brain?🎙️ PODCAST LINKSSpotify: https://urlgeni.us/spotify/fiobrospodcastApple Podcasts: https://urlgeni.us/applepodcast/fiobrospodcast🧘 FREE MEDITATION COURSELearn to meditate in 5 days, 100% free: fiobros.com/meditate📱 FOLLOW US ON IGinstagram.com/fiobros
