  SPEAKER_01: Hi, and welcome back to Amazing Brilliant Gorgeous Wonderful.

  SPEAKER_01: This is episode three in this mini series, and today's thought: this won't work for me.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: Now, when you say this won't work, in my experience, it usually means I can't afford the fallout.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I understand, you know, it's it's not negativity, it's that your nervous system is in a state where it's scanning for safety.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: So we're not trying to change things here or change how our nervous system is working.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: We're looking at uh whether we can start looking at different options.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, think of it like a choppy bit of water, you're not calming the sea, what you're doing is you'll stop swallowing it.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: So a micro shift might be to notice the internal thoughts and feelings that come up.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's a self-blaming voice.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and like what I would want you to do is imagine, you know, remember those old-fashioned telephones where you had to turn the dial, put your finger in and turn the dial.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to imagine one of those.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: And what I want you to do is imagine just turning down the sound a little bit, maybe 20%, not muting it, just turning it down, and then asking what's the smallest interpretation that keeps me affected.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: One trying action today.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: Don't explain yourself, over explain it to yourself.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: If needed, use the line.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: I've answered that.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: If there's new information, tell me.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, that's it for today.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: In the next episode, we'll name the fear underneath everything.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: What if I get blamed?
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Now, if something in today's episode landed with you, even quietly, that matters, and you don't need to do anything dramatic with it.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: Just want you to notice it, just notice what you can notice.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: And if you feel like any extra support, remember that on the website there's the emotional first day kit as well as other resources on the results page.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's there for moments exactly like this where you need you know, where you need to take a pause.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so as you go about your business today, I want you to remember every step you take, no matter how small, is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future.

  SPEAKER_01: So you can trust in your journey and remember progress is progress no matter the pace.
