Episode 179 - Purim & Your Brain

Updated: Feb 9



As you pack your mishloach manos and prepare your seuda and costumes, let's touch base real quick about your brain.


What did you spend most of last year's Purim thinking? Try to remember three main thoughts. It's ok if it's a guess or estimate.


Now I want you to figure out how each of those thoughts felt.


So it might be like this:

Thought: I want it to go well for the kids Feeling: Stress

Thought: This is a meaningful day for me Feeling: Connected

Thought: He should be helping me more Feeling: Resentment


You're busy wrapping and cooking and shopping, so I'll offer you a quick shortcut: you ONLY really need to know if a thought feels good or bad.


Your brain is full of thoughts about Purim that feel amazing. And when we feel amazing, we are able to enjoy all the silliness, the cuteness, the connection that's available to us. When we feel terrible, we notice the bad, we pull back, and we get stuck in rigid thinking.


So we know that the feel-good thoughts are valuable, and we have them... but our brain might not choose to focus on them. That's YOUR job.


Write out 3 thoughts that make you feel amazing about Purim. I'd love to hear them.

Then commit to spending intentional time thinking these thoughts Purim day.


So much easier than matching themes. You've got it in the bag.
