How to Rewire Your Thoughts Like a Social Media Feed

How to reprogram your brain for success blog post Melanie Shmois

I had a powerful session with a client recently, and we stumbled upon a truth that I think more people need to hear: Your brain works a lot like your social media feed.

Once you think something that feels true, like “dating is hard,” “I’ll always gain the weight back,” or “men aren’t emotionally available,” your brain starts scanning your world for evidence to prove it right.
Not because it’s a fact. But because that’s how the brain protects us: by being efficient, by reinforcing what we already believe.

And just like your social media algorithm, the more you click on something, the more of it you see.

Watch one video on how “all the good ones are taken”?
Your brain (and your feed) will serve you ten more.

Entertain one critical thought about your body?
Suddenly, everything you notice confirms that thought.

But here’s the catch: thoughts are not facts.

Just because something feels real or familiar doesn’t mean it’s true—or helpful.
And just like you can reset your social media preferences, you can retrain your brain to look for different evidence.

One of my clients said something so simple and brilliant in our session:
“What else is available for me to think about this?”

That one question cracked open a world of new possibilities.

For her, it meant shifting away from a feed (and mindset) full of bitterness and cynicism about relationships… and curating a new mental space where she could actually believe it’s possible to find a kind, emotionally available partner.

And it is possible. But not if your algorithm is stuck in survival mode.

So let me ask you:
What has your mind been feeding you on repeat?
And are you willing to search for a better belief?

Because just like your feed, you can reprogram your thoughts to serve the life you want to live.
