PART 2 of 4: Ever wonder why your thoughts and feelings don't sync up? Amy & Leanne share a fresh-yet-totally-doable approach that will help you reclaim the reins of confusing thoughts in our head…so that stepping into WHO YOU WANT TO BE actually becomes possible!
In PART 2 you learn:
👉Why it's not your CIRCUMSTANCES that dictate your reality, it's your THOUGHTS, and how every single thought CAUSES a feeling-- not the other way around.
👉Why your Self Image knows how you really feel, so before you can "act as if" or "believe a new reality", it's got to FEEL good, FEEL true, and resonate.
👉How to truly flip "negative emotions" on their head and find the gold in what it's trying to teach you.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
If you want to go on a journey, if you're skeptical,
don't worry. Now here to preach. Gonna keep it clean
and talk to me and recad where faith need starts nature.
Get in touch with your creator with a bacon, love
and jo She even speaks Hebrew.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What's that, gonz what's that?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
As well said talking transformation? What's done? Gonzo?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Hey, it's Leanne here on what's God got to do
with it? And I'm really excited to share this series
called Acting as If, which in a way is the
origin story of the God Pod. So I had the
incredible opportunity to join forces with the amazing Amy Brown
for a series called Acting as If, which literally came
(01:05):
to be on a walk on a trail here in
Nashville when Amy was like, Okay, Leanne, what is the
deal with this idea of Acting as If? And I
kind of believe in it, but it's definitely not as
easy as it seems, you know, Can you break it
down for me? And I was like, oh girl, you
have no idea. I love this stuff because unbeknownst to her,
(01:26):
I'd been teaching my own version of belief shifting to
my clients who just like her trying to act as
if or use fake positivity and feel good affirmations and
fake it till you make it mantras. It just did
not work, not in the long run at least, And
that is where this four part series was born. Inside
Acting as If, Amy and I explored the science behind
(01:49):
shifting beliefs, and we dove deep into strategies to break
free from negativity even.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
If positive thinking and acting as if.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Has never worked for you in the past, and we
laid it out step step, teaching you how to nurture
a brain that's not just emotionally healthy, but also how
to become emotionally available to yourself, which we talk about
all the time here on the Godpod. In other words,
it's a journey into understanding the power of our thoughts
and how to leverage them to influence our beliefs, our feelings,
(02:19):
and our behaviors. It's the crash course in transformation that
I wish somebody had taught me decades ago. Little did
we know then that this series would be the unexpected
catalyst for what is now the What's God Got to
Do with It? Podcast, which I can only describe as
a God thing because Amy and I had no idea
when she first brought up the idea for this series.
(02:41):
So while What's God Got to Do with It explores
the intersection of faith and science, acting as if focuses
more on the science of belief. So, without further ado,
let's dive into the four part series, acting as if.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
All right, here we are lean, acting as if time
for the feelings. So Part one was the thinking. Part
two is a feeling. So I'll let you take it away.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, And I think this is honestly one of the
most important parts of this It's the part that gets
skipped over the most. It's the part that I skipped
over the most because I didn't know what I didn't
know and was honestly disassociated from feelings or I was
numbed out or checked out. And so we talked about
in part one, how every single thought causes a feeling,
(03:27):
not the other way around. And we think that our circumstance,
or at least I used to think my circumstance is
causing a feeling, and it's like, no, my thoughts about
the circumstance are causing the feeling. And we took a
look that many examples of how you can choose a
different thought and it literally creates a completely different cascade.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And it's black and white, it is night and day.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And so when we're talking about feeling and coming back
to this idea of acting as if, Okay, when I
say positive thinking and acting as if doesn't work, I
don't mean that it doesn't work period full stop. But
what I'm saying is, if you you are running up
against old beliefs, or you don't believe what you say,
or you don't feel what you say, it's not gonna download,
(04:09):
or it's gonna be very hard, long, and a very
resisted road to get it there. Okay, because your self
image knows how you really feel. So before you can
go air quotes, act as if, or believe a new reality,
it's got to feel good, it's got to feel true,
and it's got to resonate.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And so here's what I mean by that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Let's talk about how all this works on a nervous
system level, real quickly. So first off, your nervous system
is paying attention to your thoughts and how you feel,
and it can't always tell the difference between a real
and an imagined experience. So, for example, let's just play
around for a second, close your eyes if you can,
and if you can, just place your hand on your
belly for just a second, and just picture that your belly.
(04:52):
Every time you breathe in, your belly is expanding like
a big balloon. And every time you breathe out, your
belly is contracting, and the air is going out out
of that balloon. And for a lot of us, it's
actually the opposite. We suck it in and we breathe in.
But every time you breathe in, picture a big balloon expanding,
and every time you breathe out, that balloon is contracting.
And now let's just play around with your nervous system.
(05:14):
So let's add some colors, some texture, some taste, some smell. So,
for example, every time you breathe in, just picture that
balloon expanding, and imagine it's a cool, crisp blue, pepperminty air.
And every time you breathe out, imagine it's a red hot,
fiery cinnamon in air. So let's just do that one
(05:34):
more time. Breathe it in, your belly expands like a
big balloon.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm doing this, by the way, there you go.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's a cool, crisp, blue pepperminty air, and every time
you breathe out, it's a red hot, fiery cinnamon air.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, So go ahead and open your eyes. And here's
the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
There's no peppermint where you are right now, most likely,
and there's no blue air where you are right now,
But your nervous system has a map for it, so
it could experience the cool, crisp, blue pepperminty air to
an extent, and it could experience the red hot, fiery
cinnamony air to an extent. So your nervous system cannot
tell the difference fully between a real and an imagined experience.
(06:12):
So just imagine what's happening in your nervous system when
you are picturing dread or fear or worry or shame.
Just with your words and your thoughts, our words create
a reality. And so the way I kind of teach
this to my clients is every thought and feeling has
a physical, chemical, biological response and kind of like a
(06:34):
frequency in your nervous system. And it's actually a very
well researched, well known science. It's just not often talked
about in the mainstream world. But on top of that,
thoughts can lay down two very different types of things
called neuro association. So let me just explain what that
big word means. Okay, So if you say something to
(06:54):
yourself that does not feel true, or it does not resonate,
or you're right kind of calling bs on it, your
brain will lay down something called negative neuro associations alongside
that thought. Okay, So when you act as if but
you don't believe it or it doesn't resonate, or you're
(07:14):
secretly doubting it, you're actually laying down negative neuro associations
alongside that thought. And so that lie or that untruth
is actually working against you when it comes to transforming
your brain.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And it's not gonna stick inside your brain. Okay, it's
totally counterproductive exactly. Or it's just going to create a
lot more resistance.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You're gonna need a lot more repetitions, you're gonna need
a lot of other factors, and maybe it'll eventually work,
but we don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It's like picturing those like resistance bands that you put
on your legs to like stretch out, and they have
light medium, yes, you know, heavy or yeh, there is
how hard it is to pull apart? And I'm thinking
if you've got a row of people with those on.
Some people might be like, whow, I can do this easy,
no problem, and then other people are like what why
is this so hard for me to move my legs?
(08:04):
I like a good visual and so I'm like uh.
And that's when the comparison can come in. So don't
even be like, well, they're able to do that. Like
I could look at Lanne because she's got all this
down and I'm still in the process of really trying
to work through some things and it's been months and months,
so be patient with yourself. But I could look at
Leanne with her easy little legs like going, woof, this
(08:27):
is what's this band?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It's no problem?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Or I could be like, Okay, wow, that is awesome
for me to see because I know it's possible for
me to get there too.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And the data of that is I have a lot
more neuro associations alongside the new beliefs right right and
the new thoughts.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
So coming back to this idea that when.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
We lie or our self image just doesn't believe it,
we're laying down those negative neuro associations in our brain.
But on the flip side, if you meet yourself in
your doubt and in your unbelief and use words and
language that actually feels true. Then you're gonna laid down
positive neuro associations in your brain. And your brain can actually,
(09:05):
if I'm going to get geeky for a second, move
it from the short term prefrontal cortex part of your
brain to the long term it's called the street atom
down in the basal ganglia where all of the long
term like always have them default patterns and habits go.
But in order for that to happen enough, positive neuro
associations need to be laid down, Like essentially, if I
(09:28):
were at a bottom line it. When you are laying
down negative neuro associations, your long term brain kind of
knows like, oh, she's not going to be using this
very long. We don't need to take it to our
long term part of our brain, and it doesn't really download.
And again this is an oversimplification of how this works,
but negative neuro associations will air quotes sabotage your ability
to lay down new beliefs. You must have these positive
(09:51):
neuro associations if you want to have them effortlessly. The
very easy resistance band metaphor as you were talking about.
And even if we're using that metaphor with the negative
neuro associations, it's not just that it's the heavy resistance span,
it's if it ever works, like it's a question mark.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
All right, I'm pretty sure we're going to get to this,
but I want to give people specific examples of what
they can tell themselves so that because some of this, yeah,
I could see people like, Okay, this is a little overwhelming.
I'm at right, but hey, if you keep telling yourself
it's overwhelming, it's gonna be overwhelmed. Yes, But if I
believe that it's doable, it's doable, and you can think it,
then you got to feel it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Then you gotta believe it. Then you got to do it. Yeah,
see what I did there? I see.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
So I just want to make sure we're going to
get to like specific examples of what we can say
to ourselves because I need that, Like I almost need
like a post it on my mirror to remind me
of when I have like any type of negative thought
trying to mess with my positive thought, I need to
know how to counter it right away.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Absolutely, So I'm going to walk you through a specific
three part process in part three of this. But in
the meantime, and I am going to give you a
post it note thought by the way, that's going to
work for everything, but dun dun dune.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We'll get to that in part three. But here's what
I will do. I'll share with you.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
A non example to just really show you how this works.
So the example is I hate my body. That's a
lot of women experience that, a lot of men experience.
That I hate my body is the belief, right, But
what the delusional optimism or positive thinking version of us
thinks we're supposed to go believe is no, I love
my body. It's too big of a jump your self image.
(11:21):
If you're really thinking I hate my body, I hate
my body, I hate my body, saying no, I love
my body. My body is strong, it's amazing. I love it,
it's probably too big of a jump. And so what
would the better belief be. We'll talk about that in
the believing side of it.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, so we'll get there with very specific examples. But
that's good to know because I think that's where we
get tripped up, right, It's like, well, shoot, this didn't work,
But we were trying to swim a mile when we've
never swam before.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, it's meeting ourselves in our doubt, meeting ourselves where
we are instead of trying to convince, our persuade or
coerce ourselves to believe something that we really, deep down
don't believe. And remember, your brain knows, and when it
doesn't believe it, it doesn't feel it, it doesn't resonate,
it is going to lay down negative neuroassociations. So even
if you had a light resistance ban, it can actually
add more resistance when you're kind of lying to yourself
(12:10):
because of the new beliefs that you just mentioned of like, great,
this is another thing that didn't work for me. You're great,
positive thinking work for them, but not for me. I
must be really messed.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Up, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, it's so fascinating what's happening in our subconscious mind
and all that's at work totally when we're not even
haying to like really.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yea, we are meaning making machines. It's crazy. Yeah, I
love it. So now you have.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
This understanding that A your thoughts have a physical, chemical,
biological response, right and I'm going to talk about that
right now. But Also, now you know that those thoughts
are also creating either negative associations or positive associations in
your brain, and the negative neuro associations will hinder your
bit to learn a new thought, and the positive neuro
(13:02):
associations will like put it into overdrive and speed it up.
So if you can simply just create this awareness that
every thought and feeling you emit has a frequency and
start influencing your thought through those eyes and meeting yourself
where you are. And we're going to talk about that
specifically in part three, but everything can change for you.
But first I want to just kind of show you
(13:23):
visually what when this comes to your emotions, and because
again this is part two feeling right, And I'm going
to refer to a visual because I'm a visual person,
but it's in your cheat sheets, it's in those flashcards
over on leannellington dot com slash Acting as If, and we'll.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Put it in the show notes.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
But there's something called the emotional guidance scale or the
emotional frequency scale, and basically you'll see visually there's this
upward spiral right of like good feeling, positive feeling emotions,
and then there's that downward spiral of emotions and what
this visual shows and if you're looking at it, basically,
(14:00):
joy and appreciation and empowerment and love have the highest
physical vibration and frequency. Okay, so think about what we've
talked about in your nervous system, like the feel like
when you imagine how your nervous system is feeling when
you're feeling joy, love, empowerment, all those things versus fear
and powerlessness and shame and unworthiness have the lowest frequency.
(14:25):
So again, physiologically we can again for all of my
logic and reason, people that are like, wait a minute,
this feeling stuff sounds out of touch, I just want
you to see that there is this physical it's physical
and metaphysical when you're feeling or not feeling.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And then the downward spiral.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Or the upward spiral that we talked about back in thinking,
So again it's happening whether or not you know it,
or whether or not you like it. You're creating feelings
from your thoughts. But I also wanted you to understand
what's happening on a nervous system level, what's happening on
a physiological level. But then also if when we're talking
about laying down new beliefs, which we're going to talk
about typically in the next part. You've got to believe
(15:03):
it because your nervous system knows.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Your nervous system knows well, and I'm thinking too, of
your stressed out. You may notice how your body responds.
Everybody's a little bit different. Some people might feel it
in their chest. Some people may feel very bloated because
you're not digesting food very well. Whatever it is, you
will start to be able to look for signs in
(15:26):
your body, or at least I did when I started
paying attention. And so if you're like, wow, if my
body's responding to this stress, that's all you need to know.
And how your body's reacting to thoughts or circumstances or
things that are happening. And so, what I also love
to think about is sometimes people think this is a
little woo woo, even though Land's giving us the science,
(15:49):
and you're like, uh, how can my thoughts really make
me feel better? Well, if you believe that your thoughts
can give you a stomach ache or you know, chest
pains or insert whatever else shows up for you, body
keeps the score, then you have to believe that it
can also do the opposite.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, And again this is where we're going to be
able to use acting as if to our benefit because
we talked about how your nervous systm can't really tell
the difference between a real and an imagined experience. So
this is why I wanted to really bring in this
feeling part of it. Because if you can connect and
become aware and start paying attention to the physiological part
of this, the mental emotional part of it, how it's
all three dimensionally involved and it's not just this you
(16:32):
know words thing, then it can all come together for you.
And it's really the glue that kind of brings it
all together.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Glue blue.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, that's why this is four parts. These are the
four parts that are absolutely necessary. Each one has to
be glued to the next.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Absolutely, And do they have to be all in the
same order. It's all interchangeable, but it's like you kind
of want them all to be there, Okay, and again
for less resistance and just more easibility is a word.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That maybe I just made up.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Sounds good to me.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, it worked.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I say, if we say it works, if we act
as if it works, it works.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Believability.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yeah, done, but you know you called the graphic, it's
the emotional frequency scale. So can you talk about frequency
because I'm paying more attention to energy and the energy
I'm bringing into a room. When you walk into a
room and you feel energy from others, I would assume, like,
is that scale depending on if you're spiraling up or down,
(17:26):
others are also picking up on that frequency.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, so if you maybe identify as being an mpath,
I definitely over the years have a heightened sense of
other people's emotions. There is a frequency being emitted. So
when you think about just like sound emitst a frequency,
or just like light emits a frequency, radio or ultraviolet
waves emit a frequency, a thought vibrates in its own frequency.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And that's what that scale that you just refer to
is showing.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
And so there's going to be like a neutral frequency
is going to have and I don't know what the
actual numbers are for it. And then a positive air
quotes positive because again no emotion is positive or negative.
They all have their place, but some of them feel
better than others. Right, can I say positive and negative?
But the negative emotions are going to have a lower frequency.
(18:13):
Even just think about like high vibe vibration. It's emitting
that frequency, it's a higher frequency on the scale.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
So that's why we say I'm so low vibes right now,
I can feel my low vibes and when I've brought
it into other people, and there's times where I've removed
myself from totally.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Like the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
If I like having a meeting about something and like
I'm low vibes, I'm like, I'm gonna go ahead and
I'm gonna remove myself for like five minutes and go
meditate and try to come back with higher vibes because
I literally don't want to pass on my.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Low vibes one thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And it really is this thing especially, and it's so
subjective objective, depending on if you're somebody that feels it.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But I'm the same way.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm like, if I'm going to be an energy sucker
an energy vampire, I'm going to just do everybody a
favor and remove myself until I'm ready, because I know
that my thoughts are creating in emitting a frequency and
an energy, and if anyone is as in tune as
I am, they're going to feel it. And so part
of it is that's why we're talking about it is
to create that awareness so that you can take responsibility
(19:11):
for it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And again, it's happening either way, whether you know it
or not, or like it or not.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, And some of the feelings that me being in
tune with it is new because of the work I've
been doing and because I'm not numbing out in other ways,
and I have that awareness awareness, and I make mental
notes every time I feel something like okay, even if
it is a feeling that feels less than I'm trying
not to say negative. We've got the positive and the
negative and it doesn't feel good.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Even if it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Feel good, I celebrate the fact that I recognized it.
And if it feels positive, I also celebrate because then
I know I'm more likely to continue to recognize because
I just don't want to go back to a place
where I was emitting frequencies or talking in a way,
or speaking in a way, or having relationships in a
way where I wasn't my highest version of myself.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Absolutely, Yeah, And that's why it's also so important to
give voice to our air quotes negative emotions as just
data of like, hey, I'm feeling some shame right now,
Like I don't have to like it, but this is
what's happening, as opposed to not identifying it, suppressing it,
repressing it, shoving it down. And that actually brings us
to the last thing I wanted to touch on for
the feeling side of it. So there's this visual and
(20:21):
it's from Chipdod who wrote The Voice of the Heart,
and he's brilliant and he's really helped me have an
understanding of emotions and one of the aspects of this,
And there's this chart that I put in the resources
for you all to have access to. Is that forevery
And again I'm putting negative emotion in air quotes. We're
talking about these emotions that don't feel good, but this
actually contributes to that argument, so to speak, that they
(20:42):
have a place. So he says that every negative emotion
has what he calls an impairment, meaning negative consequences if
they're not properly.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Attended to and taken care of.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And what the words that I use with my clients
are like, are we being emotionally available to ourselves in
those moments, because again, if we are just ignoring it,
shoving it down, or maybe we have shame about our
shame or shame about our sadness or whatever. We're not
attending to it, and it's going unattended and then it festers.
And that's what he calls a negative impairment or like
a negative consequence to these emotions that don't get attended to.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But the flip side, and this is.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
My favorite part about it, is that if you do
attend to them and you know how to foster and
accept and direct them, he calls it a gift.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Every emotion has a gift. So I'll just give you a.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Couple examples from this chart, and again it's in your resources.
But for example, hurt, that's the feeling, that's the data.
The truth is I'm hurt. I'm feeling hurt. And the
negative impairment, if you don't address the hurt, it turns
into resentment. But if you address it and you attend
to it and you care for it and nurture it,
(21:52):
hurt can actually turn into healing and courage.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's the gift, as he calls it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
There's others, you know, guilt, for example, if you're guilt,
like I don't like that I just did that. The
negative impairment if you don't attend to it, or you
ignore it, or you let it fester, is it turns
into toxic shame and shamelessness. But if you attend to
that guilt, and you are emotionally available to that guilt,
the gift that I can give you is freedom and forgiveness.
(22:19):
He goes in depth about all of this in his
book The Voice of the Heart. But this visual I
just wanted to share with everyone because it was really
impactful for me to see. Okay, the data is I'm
going to have these emotions regardless because I'm human and
again giving ourselves permission to be human. But there's a
gift if I can learn how to be emotionally available
to what I'm feeling. And first, obviously we discussed it
(22:40):
involves being aware and paying attention to what we're feeling
and not skipping over it, shoving it down. All of that,
and also notice when we're not feeling something because we
know the repercussions so to speak, of not believing what
we're saying and not having resonance.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
But again, these emotions all have a place.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
They're trying to teach us something, and there's a gift
if we can actually attune to them.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It makes me think of the TikTok Chinell cheesecake analogy.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Have you seen that? Oh it's so good.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Kat and I have talked about it on the Fifth
Thing and we played it before, but just a paraphrase it.
She talks about having this chanel bag, and I love
that she used an expensive designer purse because she's saying,
you wouldn't do this to a three thousand dollars perse,
So why would you do this to your body, which
is more precious than a purse?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
And so she talks about putting a piece of cheesecake
in there and zipping it up, and a week later,
what is going on with that cheesecake? Well, you definitely
wouldn't eat it or it would make you sick. And
so the cheesecake is representing everything you're suppressing and putting
down and you think you dealt with it because you
zipped it up, but really it's leaking throughout your body
(23:50):
and it becomes very toxic to you.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And so that is a perfect example of this.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, it's the cheesecake in the purse that, unattended to,
it festers. It's talk and if you attend to it,
it's like, Wow, I just open my purse and I
have cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
What a gift?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah, and I didn't leave it in here long, so
I get to eat it exactly five second rule. Yeah,
get a fark, love it awesome?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So yeah, that is it for the feeling side of it.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
We are going to get into the believing side of it,
which is really you know, the next big mover of
all this acting as if stuff in part three. There

What's God Got to Do With It?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Is an iHeartRadio podcast on the Amy Brown Podcast Network.
It's written and hosted by me Leanne Ellington, executive produced
by Elizabeth Fozzio, post production and editing by Houston Tilley,
and original music written by Cheryl Stark and produced by
Adam Stark
If you want to go on a journey, if you're skeptical,
don't worry. Now here to preach. Gonna keep it clean
and talk to me and recad where faith need starts nature.
Get in touch with your creator with a bacon, love
and jo She even speaks Hebrew.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What's that, gonz what's that?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
As well said talking transformation? What's done? Gonzo?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Hey, it's Leanne here on what's God got to do
with it? And I'm really excited to share this series
called Acting as If, which in a way is the
origin story of the God Pod. So I had the
incredible opportunity to join forces with the amazing Amy Brown
for a series called Acting as If, which literally came
(01:05):
to be on a walk on a trail here in
Nashville when Amy was like, Okay, Leanne, what is the
deal with this idea of Acting as If? And I
kind of believe in it, but it's definitely not as
easy as it seems, you know, Can you break it
down for me? And I was like, oh girl, you
have no idea. I love this stuff because unbeknownst to her,
(01:26):
I'd been teaching my own version of belief shifting to
my clients who just like her trying to act as
if or use fake positivity and feel good affirmations and
fake it till you make it mantras. It just did
not work, not in the long run at least, And
that is where this four part series was born. Inside
Acting as If, Amy and I explored the science behind
(01:49):
shifting beliefs, and we dove deep into strategies to break
free from negativity even.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
If positive thinking and acting as if.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Has never worked for you in the past, and we
laid it out step step, teaching you how to nurture
a brain that's not just emotionally healthy, but also how
to become emotionally available to yourself, which we talk about
all the time here on the Godpod. In other words,
it's a journey into understanding the power of our thoughts
and how to leverage them to influence our beliefs, our feelings,
(02:19):
and our behaviors. It's the crash course in transformation that
I wish somebody had taught me decades ago. Little did
we know then that this series would be the unexpected
catalyst for what is now the What's God Got to
Do with It? Podcast, which I can only describe as
a God thing because Amy and I had no idea
when she first brought up the idea for this series.
(02:41):
So while What's God Got to Do with It explores
the intersection of faith and science, acting as if focuses
more on the science of belief. So, without further ado,
let's dive into the four part series, acting as if.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
All right, here we are lean, acting as if time
for the feelings. So Part one was the thinking. Part
two is a feeling. So I'll let you take it away.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, And I think this is honestly one of the
most important parts of this It's the part that gets
skipped over the most. It's the part that I skipped
over the most because I didn't know what I didn't
know and was honestly disassociated from feelings or I was
numbed out or checked out. And so we talked about
in part one, how every single thought causes a feeling,
(03:27):
not the other way around. And we think that our circumstance,
or at least I used to think my circumstance is
causing a feeling, and it's like, no, my thoughts about
the circumstance are causing the feeling. And we took a
look that many examples of how you can choose a
different thought and it literally creates a completely different cascade.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And it's black and white, it is night and day.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And so when we're talking about feeling and coming back
to this idea of acting as if, Okay, when I
say positive thinking and acting as if doesn't work, I
don't mean that it doesn't work period full stop. But
what I'm saying is, if you you are running up
against old beliefs, or you don't believe what you say,
or you don't feel what you say, it's not gonna download,
(04:09):
or it's gonna be very hard, long, and a very
resisted road to get it there. Okay, because your self
image knows how you really feel. So before you can
go air quotes, act as if, or believe a new reality,
it's got to feel good, it's got to feel true,
and it's got to resonate.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And so here's what I mean by that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Let's talk about how all this works on a nervous
system level, real quickly. So first off, your nervous system
is paying attention to your thoughts and how you feel,
and it can't always tell the difference between a real
and an imagined experience. So, for example, let's just play
around for a second, close your eyes if you can,
and if you can, just place your hand on your
belly for just a second, and just picture that your belly.
(04:52):
Every time you breathe in, your belly is expanding like
a big balloon. And every time you breathe out, your
belly is contracting, and the air is going out out
of that balloon. And for a lot of us, it's
actually the opposite. We suck it in and we breathe in.
But every time you breathe in, picture a big balloon expanding,
and every time you breathe out, that balloon is contracting.
And now let's just play around with your nervous system.
(05:14):
So let's add some colors, some texture, some taste, some smell. So,
for example, every time you breathe in, just picture that
balloon expanding, and imagine it's a cool, crisp blue, pepperminty air.
And every time you breathe out, imagine it's a red hot,
fiery cinnamon in air. So let's just do that one
(05:34):
more time. Breathe it in, your belly expands like a
big balloon.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm doing this, by the way, there you go.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's a cool, crisp, blue pepperminty air, and every time
you breathe out, it's a red hot, fiery cinnamon air.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, So go ahead and open your eyes. And here's
the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
There's no peppermint where you are right now, most likely,
and there's no blue air where you are right now,
But your nervous system has a map for it, so
it could experience the cool, crisp, blue pepperminty air to
an extent, and it could experience the red hot, fiery
cinnamony air to an extent. So your nervous system cannot
tell the difference fully between a real and an imagined experience.
(06:12):
So just imagine what's happening in your nervous system when
you are picturing dread or fear or worry or shame.
Just with your words and your thoughts, our words create
a reality. And so the way I kind of teach
this to my clients is every thought and feeling has
a physical, chemical, biological response and kind of like a
(06:34):
frequency in your nervous system. And it's actually a very
well researched, well known science. It's just not often talked
about in the mainstream world. But on top of that,
thoughts can lay down two very different types of things
called neuro association. So let me just explain what that
big word means. Okay, So if you say something to
(06:54):
yourself that does not feel true, or it does not resonate,
or you're right kind of calling bs on it, your
brain will lay down something called negative neuro associations alongside
that thought. Okay, So when you act as if but
you don't believe it or it doesn't resonate, or you're
(07:14):
secretly doubting it, you're actually laying down negative neuro associations
alongside that thought. And so that lie or that untruth
is actually working against you when it comes to transforming
your brain.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And it's not gonna stick inside your brain. Okay, it's
totally counterproductive exactly. Or it's just going to create a
lot more resistance.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You're gonna need a lot more repetitions, you're gonna need
a lot of other factors, and maybe it'll eventually work,
but we don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It's like picturing those like resistance bands that you put
on your legs to like stretch out, and they have
light medium, yes, you know, heavy or yeh, there is
how hard it is to pull apart? And I'm thinking
if you've got a row of people with those on.
Some people might be like, whow, I can do this easy,
no problem, and then other people are like what why
is this so hard for me to move my legs?
(08:04):
I like a good visual and so I'm like uh.
And that's when the comparison can come in. So don't
even be like, well, they're able to do that. Like
I could look at Lanne because she's got all this
down and I'm still in the process of really trying
to work through some things and it's been months and months,
so be patient with yourself. But I could look at
Leanne with her easy little legs like going, woof, this
(08:27):
is what's this band?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It's no problem?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Or I could be like, Okay, wow, that is awesome
for me to see because I know it's possible for
me to get there too.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And the data of that is I have a lot
more neuro associations alongside the new beliefs right right and
the new thoughts.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
So coming back to this idea that when.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
We lie or our self image just doesn't believe it,
we're laying down those negative neuro associations in our brain.
But on the flip side, if you meet yourself in
your doubt and in your unbelief and use words and
language that actually feels true. Then you're gonna laid down
positive neuro associations in your brain. And your brain can actually,
(09:05):
if I'm going to get geeky for a second, move
it from the short term prefrontal cortex part of your
brain to the long term it's called the street atom
down in the basal ganglia where all of the long
term like always have them default patterns and habits go.
But in order for that to happen enough, positive neuro
associations need to be laid down, Like essentially, if I
(09:28):
were at a bottom line it. When you are laying
down negative neuro associations, your long term brain kind of
knows like, oh, she's not going to be using this
very long. We don't need to take it to our
long term part of our brain, and it doesn't really download.
And again this is an oversimplification of how this works,
but negative neuro associations will air quotes sabotage your ability
to lay down new beliefs. You must have these positive
(09:51):
neuro associations if you want to have them effortlessly. The
very easy resistance band metaphor as you were talking about.
And even if we're using that metaphor with the negative
neuro associations, it's not just that it's the heavy resistance span,
it's if it ever works, like it's a question mark.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
All right, I'm pretty sure we're going to get to this,
but I want to give people specific examples of what
they can tell themselves so that because some of this, yeah,
I could see people like, Okay, this is a little overwhelming.
I'm at right, but hey, if you keep telling yourself
it's overwhelming, it's gonna be overwhelmed. Yes, But if I
believe that it's doable, it's doable, and you can think it,
then you got to feel it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Then you gotta believe it. Then you got to do it. Yeah,
see what I did there? I see.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
So I just want to make sure we're going to
get to like specific examples of what we can say
to ourselves because I need that, Like I almost need
like a post it on my mirror to remind me
of when I have like any type of negative thought
trying to mess with my positive thought, I need to
know how to counter it right away.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Absolutely, So I'm going to walk you through a specific
three part process in part three of this. But in
the meantime, and I am going to give you a
post it note thought by the way, that's going to
work for everything, but dun dun dune.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We'll get to that in part three. But here's what
I will do. I'll share with you.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
A non example to just really show you how this works.
So the example is I hate my body. That's a
lot of women experience that, a lot of men experience.
That I hate my body is the belief, right, But
what the delusional optimism or positive thinking version of us
thinks we're supposed to go believe is no, I love
my body. It's too big of a jump your self image.
(11:21):
If you're really thinking I hate my body, I hate
my body, I hate my body, saying no, I love
my body. My body is strong, it's amazing. I love it,
it's probably too big of a jump. And so what
would the better belief be. We'll talk about that in
the believing side of it.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, so we'll get there with very specific examples. But
that's good to know because I think that's where we
get tripped up, right, It's like, well, shoot, this didn't work,
But we were trying to swim a mile when we've
never swam before.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, it's meeting ourselves in our doubt, meeting ourselves where
we are instead of trying to convince, our persuade or
coerce ourselves to believe something that we really, deep down
don't believe. And remember, your brain knows, and when it
doesn't believe it, it doesn't feel it, it doesn't resonate,
it is going to lay down negative neuroassociations. So even
if you had a light resistance ban, it can actually
add more resistance when you're kind of lying to yourself
(12:10):
because of the new beliefs that you just mentioned of like, great,
this is another thing that didn't work for me. You're great,
positive thinking work for them, but not for me. I
must be really messed.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Up, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, it's so fascinating what's happening in our subconscious mind
and all that's at work totally when we're not even
haying to like really.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yea, we are meaning making machines. It's crazy. Yeah, I
love it. So now you have.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
This understanding that A your thoughts have a physical, chemical,
biological response, right and I'm going to talk about that
right now. But Also, now you know that those thoughts
are also creating either negative associations or positive associations in
your brain, and the negative neuro associations will hinder your
bit to learn a new thought, and the positive neuro
(13:02):
associations will like put it into overdrive and speed it up.
So if you can simply just create this awareness that
every thought and feeling you emit has a frequency and
start influencing your thought through those eyes and meeting yourself
where you are. And we're going to talk about that
specifically in part three, but everything can change for you.
But first I want to just kind of show you
(13:23):
visually what when this comes to your emotions, and because
again this is part two feeling right, And I'm going
to refer to a visual because I'm a visual person,
but it's in your cheat sheets, it's in those flashcards
over on leannellington dot com slash Acting as If, and we'll.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Put it in the show notes.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
But there's something called the emotional guidance scale or the
emotional frequency scale, and basically you'll see visually there's this
upward spiral right of like good feeling, positive feeling emotions,
and then there's that downward spiral of emotions and what
this visual shows and if you're looking at it, basically,
(14:00):
joy and appreciation and empowerment and love have the highest
physical vibration and frequency. Okay, so think about what we've
talked about in your nervous system, like the feel like
when you imagine how your nervous system is feeling when
you're feeling joy, love, empowerment, all those things versus fear
and powerlessness and shame and unworthiness have the lowest frequency.
(14:25):
So again, physiologically we can again for all of my
logic and reason, people that are like, wait a minute,
this feeling stuff sounds out of touch, I just want
you to see that there is this physical it's physical
and metaphysical when you're feeling or not feeling.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And then the downward spiral.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Or the upward spiral that we talked about back in thinking,
So again it's happening whether or not you know it,
or whether or not you like it. You're creating feelings
from your thoughts. But I also wanted you to understand
what's happening on a nervous system level, what's happening on
a physiological level. But then also if when we're talking
about laying down new beliefs, which we're going to talk
about typically in the next part. You've got to believe
(15:03):
it because your nervous system knows.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Your nervous system knows well, and I'm thinking too, of
your stressed out. You may notice how your body responds.
Everybody's a little bit different. Some people might feel it
in their chest. Some people may feel very bloated because
you're not digesting food very well. Whatever it is, you
will start to be able to look for signs in
(15:26):
your body, or at least I did when I started
paying attention. And so if you're like, wow, if my
body's responding to this stress, that's all you need to know.
And how your body's reacting to thoughts or circumstances or
things that are happening. And so, what I also love
to think about is sometimes people think this is a
little woo woo, even though Land's giving us the science,
(15:49):
and you're like, uh, how can my thoughts really make
me feel better? Well, if you believe that your thoughts
can give you a stomach ache or you know, chest
pains or insert whatever else shows up for you, body
keeps the score, then you have to believe that it
can also do the opposite.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, And again this is where we're going to be
able to use acting as if to our benefit because
we talked about how your nervous systm can't really tell
the difference between a real and an imagined experience. So
this is why I wanted to really bring in this
feeling part of it. Because if you can connect and
become aware and start paying attention to the physiological part
of this, the mental emotional part of it, how it's
all three dimensionally involved and it's not just this you
(16:32):
know words thing, then it can all come together for you.
And it's really the glue that kind of brings it
all together.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Glue blue.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, that's why this is four parts. These are the
four parts that are absolutely necessary. Each one has to
be glued to the next.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Absolutely, And do they have to be all in the
same order. It's all interchangeable, but it's like you kind
of want them all to be there, Okay, and again
for less resistance and just more easibility is a word.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That maybe I just made up.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Sounds good to me.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, it worked.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I say, if we say it works, if we act
as if it works, it works.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Believability.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yeah, done, but you know you called the graphic, it's
the emotional frequency scale. So can you talk about frequency
because I'm paying more attention to energy and the energy
I'm bringing into a room. When you walk into a
room and you feel energy from others, I would assume, like,
is that scale depending on if you're spiraling up or down,
(17:26):
others are also picking up on that frequency.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, so if you maybe identify as being an mpath,
I definitely over the years have a heightened sense of
other people's emotions. There is a frequency being emitted. So
when you think about just like sound emitst a frequency,
or just like light emits a frequency, radio or ultraviolet
waves emit a frequency, a thought vibrates in its own frequency.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And that's what that scale that you just refer to
is showing.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
And so there's going to be like a neutral frequency
is going to have and I don't know what the
actual numbers are for it. And then a positive air
quotes positive because again no emotion is positive or negative.
They all have their place, but some of them feel
better than others. Right, can I say positive and negative?
But the negative emotions are going to have a lower frequency.
(18:13):
Even just think about like high vibe vibration. It's emitting
that frequency, it's a higher frequency on the scale.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
So that's why we say I'm so low vibes right now,
I can feel my low vibes and when I've brought
it into other people, and there's times where I've removed
myself from totally.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Like the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
If I like having a meeting about something and like
I'm low vibes, I'm like, I'm gonna go ahead and
I'm gonna remove myself for like five minutes and go
meditate and try to come back with higher vibes because
I literally don't want to pass on my.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Low vibes one thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And it really is this thing especially, and it's so
subjective objective, depending on if you're somebody that feels it.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But I'm the same way.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm like, if I'm going to be an energy sucker
an energy vampire, I'm going to just do everybody a
favor and remove myself until I'm ready, because I know
that my thoughts are creating in emitting a frequency and
an energy, and if anyone is as in tune as
I am, they're going to feel it. And so part
of it is that's why we're talking about it is
to create that awareness so that you can take responsibility
(19:11):
for it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And again, it's happening either way, whether you know it
or not, or like it or not.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, And some of the feelings that me being in
tune with it is new because of the work I've
been doing and because I'm not numbing out in other ways,
and I have that awareness awareness, and I make mental
notes every time I feel something like okay, even if
it is a feeling that feels less than I'm trying
not to say negative. We've got the positive and the
negative and it doesn't feel good.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Even if it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Feel good, I celebrate the fact that I recognized it.
And if it feels positive, I also celebrate because then
I know I'm more likely to continue to recognize because
I just don't want to go back to a place
where I was emitting frequencies or talking in a way,
or speaking in a way, or having relationships in a
way where I wasn't my highest version of myself.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Absolutely, Yeah, And that's why it's also so important to
give voice to our air quotes negative emotions as just
data of like, hey, I'm feeling some shame right now,
Like I don't have to like it, but this is
what's happening, as opposed to not identifying it, suppressing it,
repressing it, shoving it down. And that actually brings us
to the last thing I wanted to touch on for
the feeling side of it. So there's this visual and
(20:21):
it's from Chipdod who wrote The Voice of the Heart,
and he's brilliant and he's really helped me have an
understanding of emotions and one of the aspects of this,
And there's this chart that I put in the resources
for you all to have access to. Is that forevery
And again I'm putting negative emotion in air quotes. We're
talking about these emotions that don't feel good, but this
actually contributes to that argument, so to speak, that they
(20:42):
have a place. So he says that every negative emotion
has what he calls an impairment, meaning negative consequences if
they're not properly.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Attended to and taken care of.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And what the words that I use with my clients
are like, are we being emotionally available to ourselves in
those moments, because again, if we are just ignoring it,
shoving it down, or maybe we have shame about our
shame or shame about our sadness or whatever. We're not
attending to it, and it's going unattended and then it festers.
And that's what he calls a negative impairment or like
a negative consequence to these emotions that don't get attended to.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But the flip side, and this is.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
My favorite part about it, is that if you do
attend to them and you know how to foster and
accept and direct them, he calls it a gift.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Every emotion has a gift. So I'll just give you a.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Couple examples from this chart, and again it's in your resources.
But for example, hurt, that's the feeling, that's the data.
The truth is I'm hurt. I'm feeling hurt. And the
negative impairment, if you don't address the hurt, it turns
into resentment. But if you address it and you attend
to it and you care for it and nurture it,
(21:52):
hurt can actually turn into healing and courage.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's the gift, as he calls it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
There's others, you know, guilt, for example, if you're guilt,
like I don't like that I just did that. The
negative impairment if you don't attend to it, or you
ignore it, or you let it fester, is it turns
into toxic shame and shamelessness. But if you attend to
that guilt, and you are emotionally available to that guilt,
the gift that I can give you is freedom and forgiveness.
(22:19):
He goes in depth about all of this in his
book The Voice of the Heart. But this visual I
just wanted to share with everyone because it was really
impactful for me to see. Okay, the data is I'm
going to have these emotions regardless because I'm human and
again giving ourselves permission to be human. But there's a
gift if I can learn how to be emotionally available
to what I'm feeling. And first, obviously we discussed it
(22:40):
involves being aware and paying attention to what we're feeling
and not skipping over it, shoving it down. All of that,
and also notice when we're not feeling something because we
know the repercussions so to speak, of not believing what
we're saying and not having resonance.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
But again, these emotions all have a place.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
They're trying to teach us something, and there's a gift
if we can actually attune to them.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It makes me think of the TikTok Chinell cheesecake analogy.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Have you seen that? Oh it's so good.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Kat and I have talked about it on the Fifth
Thing and we played it before, but just a paraphrase it.
She talks about having this chanel bag, and I love
that she used an expensive designer purse because she's saying,
you wouldn't do this to a three thousand dollars perse,
So why would you do this to your body, which
is more precious than a purse?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
And so she talks about putting a piece of cheesecake
in there and zipping it up, and a week later,
what is going on with that cheesecake? Well, you definitely
wouldn't eat it or it would make you sick. And
so the cheesecake is representing everything you're suppressing and putting
down and you think you dealt with it because you
zipped it up, but really it's leaking throughout your body
(23:50):
and it becomes very toxic to you.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And so that is a perfect example of this.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, it's the cheesecake in the purse that, unattended to,
it festers. It's talk and if you attend to it,
it's like, Wow, I just open my purse and I
have cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
What a gift?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah, and I didn't leave it in here long, so
I get to eat it exactly five second rule. Yeah,
get a fark, love it awesome?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So yeah, that is it for the feeling side of it.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
We are going to get into the believing side of it,
which is really you know, the next big mover of
all this acting as if stuff in part three. There
