Your Brain Lies to You Every Day
Your brain lies to you every single day—not to hurt you, but to keep you small. Those lies look different for everyone, but here’s the truth: when you stop listening and start doing what you actually want, success becomes inevitable.
Here’s the wild thing about your brain: it lies to you every single day.
Not because it’s cruel.
Not because it doesn’t want the best for you.
But because it’s wired for safety, not success.
And safety often looks like smallness.
The Sneaky Nature of the Lies
These lies don’t come wrapped in neon signs that say: “Don’t grow! Don’t change!”
No, they show up in sneaky, believable ways. They sound like:
“I’ll start tomorrow.”
“I’m too tired today.”
“I’m not ready yet.”
“What if I fail?”
“This is just who I am.”
And because they feel reasonable, you trust them.
The truth?
They’re not reasonable at all. They’re roadblocks disguised as logic.
Why Your Brain Does This
Your brain’s number one job is survival. Growth, expansion, going after big goals—those things feel risky.
So your brain offers you thoughts that keep you safe, small, and in the known.
But safe doesn’t equal fulfilled. And small doesn’t equal successful.
What Happens When You Stop Listening
Here’s the shift: success is inevitable when you stop listening to those lies and start leading your brain instead.
When you take action even when your brain whispers:
“Don’t post that, people might judge you.”
“You’ll never stick with this workout routine.”
“Better not try, it might not work.”
And instead, you say:
“I’ll post anyway.”
“I’ll show up for myself today.”
“I’m willing to see what’s possible.”
That’s when everything changes.
The Truth That Sets You Free
Your brain will always offer lies to keep you small.
But you don’t have to believe them.
When you choose to do the thing you actually want—not the thing that feels “safe”—your life can’t help but expand.
Because the real truth is this:
Your success isn’t about talent, luck, or timing.
It’s about whether or not you listen to your brain’s lies.
Success is inevitable when you don’t.
The Burden of Leadership is Repitition
Coach Sirianni said it best: leadership is repeating the right things—again and again. Whether you're building a business, coaching others, or changing your habits, this post shows why repetition isn’t boring… it’s the secret weapon.
"The burden of leadership is repetition."
We are Philadelphia Eagles fans here and I heard Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni say this in a recent press conference, and I frickin’ LOVED it 😍—so, of course, I had to use it.
Because leadership—whether it’s in coaching, building a business, or developing a new habit—is about reinforcing the RIGHT things over and over again.
I know…
It can feel monotonous. It can feel mundane.
But repetition does three powerful things:
Creates momentum
Builds mastery
Creates winners
And guess what?
The first place you have to lead is YOUR OWN BRAIN.
Because your brain is already repeating things—every single day.
But are you repeating the thoughts that build the life you want… or the ones that sabotage it?
“I should be farther along.”
“I should know better.”
“It’s not working.”
“What am I missing?”
These thoughts? They will run the show if you don’t step in and lead your own mind first.
Success isn’t about having one big breakthrough moment.
I wish it was that easy…
Instead, it’s about INTENTIONALLY repeating the thoughts that fuel action, resilience, and momentum—until they become second nature.
Over and over and over again.
Train your brain to work for you, not against you.
Be the leader in your life by leading your own brain. 😍
I know this because I do this on repeat in my own life—and I help my clients do the same. 😊
Oh, and by the way...
GO BIRDS 🦅🦅🦅🦅
With all the love and a ton of momentum…
Do you like your reasons?
Whenever you make decisions today I want you to ask yourself this very simple question first-
Happy Day!
Coaching is really just powerful thought provoking questioning...and this one is REALLY good.
Whenever you make decisions today I want you to ask yourself this very simple question first-
Do I like my reasons?
Your brain is constantly offering you direction to take throughout your day.
Do you like your reasons for why you are deciding to do or not do any given task?
Take a moment to explore the underlying reasons for your decisions. When you start to dissect your reasoning for your decisions you start to look at what motivates you.
Do you like what you find?
Understanding the roots of your choices empowers you to then make more intentional decisions IF you don't like what you see is motivating you.
So much power lies in knowing why you do what you do.
You are in charge of your own life and the more you know why you do what you do the more in charge you can become.
I absolutely help my clients understand why they do what they do. Once they are more aware, together, we work on aligning their actions with their ultimate goals.
If this sounds like something you want (productivity with purpose) get on my calendar for a free 45 minute consult clarity call to learn more about what is keeping you stuck. Then we can make a plan to take purposeful action. My clients are truly living better and I want that for you too! You deserve it!
Keep going, my friend, and expect miracles all day, every day, and love your reasons for doing so...
