  Speaker 3: to have someone try to quench the fire before it

• 1:00
  Speaker 3: couple of police officers walked out from inside the gas
• 1:04

• 1:08
  Speaker 3: pleaded for help, they approached her and immediately arrested her

  Speaker 3: for unlawfully waving a firearm. Hello, and welcome to this
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: week's podcast. Today, we're talking about something we all deal with, negativity.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: It's everywhere in the news, on social media, in random
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: conversations we didn't ever ask to be a part of.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: But just because it's around us doesn't mean we have
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to let it in. This episode is all about holding
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: your ground, protecting your peace, and not letting the negative
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: energy make itself at home in your head. But before
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: we get into all that, we have our trivia question
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: of the day. Are you ready for it?

• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: The question was what US bill has the shortest average
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: lifespan in circulation. The answer surprisingly the ten dollars bill,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: which typically lasts about four and a half years before
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: it's too worn out and needs to be replaced. Because
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: smaller denominations like the ten dollar bill are used more
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: frequently in everyday transactions, they tend to wear out faster
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: than high value bills like the fifty or the one hundred,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: which tend to be used less and often are stored away.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Now you know, negativity is sneaky. It doesn't always show
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: up as someone yelling or being off obviously rude. Sometimes
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: it's quiet. It's the offhand comment that lingers, the scroll
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: through social media that leaves you feeling like you're not enough,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: or even your own inner voice turning critical. When things
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: get tough and if we're not paying attention, we start
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: carrying that weight without realizing it. The key is realizing
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: that we have a choice in what we absorb. Just
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: because someone is having a bad day doesn't mean that
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: we have to take it personally. Just because the world
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: feels heavy doesn't mean we have to carry it all.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: One simple practice, pause before you react. Ask yourself, is
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: this about me? Or is this about them? Is this
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: worth finding and holding onto? That tiny moment of awareness
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: can be the difference betwe between taking something in and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: letting it pass through. It doesn't mean ignoring hard things
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: or pretending everything is fine. It just means protecting your
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: inner peace. You can still be kind, still be empathetic,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and still say this negativity doesn't belong to me. Listen
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to and think about this. An entire ocean, an entire
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: sea of water, can't sink a ship unless it gets
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can't
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.
