About

Ever catch yourself overthinking at 2 a.m. like, “Why do I even think the way I do??” 🧠👀
This series is your deep-dive into you—the brain, the habits, the dreams, the whole chaotic masterpiece.

We’re mixing psychology, cognitive science, and a lil’ mindfulness to decode what’s going on inside that head of yours. Think: habit loops, inner monologue, identity, meta-thoughts… and even dreams 💤
It’s part science class, part self-discovery, part “wait… is ChatGPT conscious??” 🤖

If you love overthinking, introspecting, or just vibing with big questions—this is your midweek brain gym.

🧠 Session 1: Why Do We Think the Way We Think?

Your brain’s doing something 24/7… but like, why tho? 👀

In this session, we’re diving deep into the wild maze of your mind:
⚡ Cognitive biases (aka brain glitches)
🎯 Attention models (why you can’t focus for more than 3 seconds)
🔍 Decision-making (how much are you actually choosing?)

Oh—and we’ll throw in a fun twist:🤖 How you think vs how ChatGPT “thinks” 👁️💬Spoiler: One of you runs on emotions. The other’s a robot. Or is it??

We’ll wrap up with a mini self-audit to map how your thoughts work.
You’ll never look at your inner monologue the same again.

🌀 Session 2: The Brain and Identity — Who Even Are You?

Okay real talk—are you the voice in your head, the vibe you give off, or something deeper? 👤🧠🌊
In this session, we’re unpacking identity, and spoiler: it’s messier than your Notes app.

We’ll explore:🎭 Narrative self vs experiential self (aka the story you tell vs the life you live)
🪞 Mirror neurons + how you absorb people’s energy without realizing
📱 Social identity, performance, and why we all have a
✨main character moment
✨Plus, a juicy reflection prompt:
🧩 Who are you when no one’s watching?
No masks, no filters. Just vibes and neurons.

👁️‍🗨️ Session 3: What Is Awareness? — Watching the Watcher
Time to zoom way in. Like… who’s even noticing your thoughts while you’re thinking them? 🧠💭👀
This session is a whole meditation on awareness—the “you” behind the you.
We’ll explore:
🧩 Meta-cognition (thinking about thinking… about thinking)
🗣️ Your inner monologue — is it your BFF or a background noise machine?
🧘‍♂️ That weird moment when you realize you’re thinking
Oh, and we’re throwing in:🤖 A vibe check with AI — does ChatGPT reflect? Or is it just fancy word salad?

🔁 Session 4: Habits & Rewiring the Self — Hacking Your Mental Code
Your brain runs on loops. 🔄Cues → routines → dopamine → repeat. But what if you could rewrite the code? 🧬💻
In this session, we’re going full neuro-ninja with:
🧠 Habit loops explained in real, non-boring human terms
🎯 Dopamine & reward prediction — the brain’s hype system
📉 Why you keep doing stuff you don’t even like (and how to stop)
✨ Live challenge: Build your own “reverse habit script”
💥Because changing your life starts with changing one tiny loop.

🌙 Session 5: Dreams & the Subconscious — What’s Your Mind Hiding?
Your brain at night: vibing, glitching, sending cryptic messages like it’s a Tumblr post from 2012 😴💭🔮But those dreams?
They mean something—or at least, your mind thinks they do.
In this session, we’re diving into:
🌀 REM cycles & dream theory (why your brain basically throws a rave at 2 a.m.)
🧠 The subconscious — that deep, mysterious part of you running the show
🤖 A fun twist: Tell ChatGPT your dream and see if it gets you
Reflection prompt:🪞 “What do my dreams want from me?”
Let’s decode the chaos, connect the dots, and maybe understand ourselves just a little bit better.

Session 6: The Inner Critic — Whose Voice Is That?
That voice in your head saying “you’re not enough”? Yeah, it didn’t come from nowhere.
👂 Let’s trace where it came from—parents? society? your own fear?
🎤 Reframe it with compassion, not cringe.
✨ Rewrite the script. Make that voice your sidekick, not your saboteur.
