  move

  yourself
• 1:07
  forward
• 1:08
  and
• 1:08
  overcome
• 1:09
  certain
• 1:09
  issues
• 1:11
  And
• 1:12
  I
• 1:12
  will
• 1:13
  put

• 1:13
  link
• 1:13
  in
• 1:14
  the
• 1:14
  show
• 1:14
  notes
• 1:14

• 1:14
  that
• 1:14
  if

  you

  want
• 1:15
  to
• 1:15
  sign
• 1:15
  up.
• 1:17
  And
• 1:17
  so,
• 1:18
  for
• 1:18
  this
• 1:18
  particular
• 1:20
  email,
• 1:21
  I
• 1:21
  addressed
• 1:23
  overwhelm
• 1:24
  and
• 1:25
  I
• 1:25
  got
• 1:25
  some
• 1:25
  really
• 1:26
  positive
• 1:27
  feedback
• 1:29
  and
• 1:29
  if
• 1:29
  you're
• 1:29
  listening
• 1:30
  and
• 1:30
  you
• 1:31
  want
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  provide
• 1:31
  feedback
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  any
• 1:32
  of
• 1:32
  the
• 1:32
  episodes,
• 1:34
  I
• 1:34
  love
• 1:34
  hearing
• 1:35
  from
• 1:35
  you.
• 1:35
  So
• 1:36
  thank
• 1:36
  you
• 1:36
  very
• 1:36
  much
• 1:37
  to
• 1:37
  those
• 1:37
  who
• 1:37
  do
• 1:38
  send
• 1:38
  in
• 1:39
  emails.
• 1:39
  I
• 1:40
  read
• 1:40
  them
• 1:40
  all
• 1:40
  myself
• 1:41
  and
• 1:41
  I
• 1:41
  really
• 1:41
  appreciate
• 1:42
  it
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  thought
• 1:45
  I
• 1:45
  would
• 1:46
  elaborate
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  little
• 1:47
  bit
• 1:47
  more
• 1:48
  on.
• 1:49
  Overcoming
• 1:50
  overwhelm
• 1:50
  and
• 1:51
  why
• 1:52
  it
• 1:52
  happens
• 1:52
  and,
• 1:53
  and
• 1:53
  how
• 1:53
  we
• 1:53
  can
• 1:54
  address
• 1:54
  it
• 1:56
  because
• 1:56
  overwhelm
• 1:57
  is
• 1:57
  one
• 1:57
  of
• 1:57
  those
• 1:57
  things
• 1:58
  that
• 1:59
  is
• 1:59
  an
• 1:59
  indulgent
• 2:00
  emotion.
• 2:02
  It
• 2:02
  keeps
• 2:03
  us
• 2:03
  stuck.
• 2:04
  It
• 2:04
  keeps
• 2:04
  us
• 2:04
  in
• 2:05
  a
• 2:05
  victim
• 2:05
  mode.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:07
  so
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  quicker
• 2:09
  we
• 2:09
  can
• 2:09
  move
• 2:09
  ourselves
• 2:10
  out
• 2:10
  of
• 2:11
  that,
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  better.
• 2:14
  Because
• 2:14
  it's
• 2:14
  one
• 2:14
  of
• 2:14
  those
• 2:15
  emotions
• 2:15
  that
• 2:15
  doesn't
• 2:16
  serve
• 2:16
  us,
• 2:18
  keeps
• 2:18
  us
• 2:18
  stuck,
• 2:19
  keeps
• 2:20
  us
• 2:20
  in
• 2:20
  the
• 2:20
  same
• 2:20
  place,
• 2:21
  not
• 2:21
  moving
• 2:22
  forward,
• 2:23
  not
• 2:23
  taking
• 2:23
  action,
• 2:24
  not
• 2:25
  showing
• 2:25
  up
• 2:25
  in
• 2:25
  the
• 2:26
  way
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  we
• 2:26
  want.
• 2:28
  And
• 2:29
  I
• 2:29
  want
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  be
• 2:30
  clear
• 2:31
  as
• 2:31
  we
• 2:31
  begin
• 2:33
  that
• 2:34
  feeling
• 2:34
  overwhelmed
• 2:37
  comes
• 2:37
  from
• 2:38
  what
• 2:39
  we
• 2:39
  are
• 2:39
  thinking.
• 2:40
  It
• 2:40
  does
• 2:40
  not
• 2:41
  come
• 2:41
  from
• 2:42
  your
• 2:43
  circumstance.
• 2:43
  It
• 2:43
  does
• 2:44
  not
• 2:44
  come
• 2:45
  from
• 2:46
  what's
• 2:46
  going
• 2:46
  on
• 2:47
  around
• 2:47
  you
• 2:48
  or
• 2:48
  how
• 2:48
  long
• 2:49
  your
• 2:49
  to
• 2:49
  do
• 2:50
  list
• 2:50
  is.
• 2:52
  It
• 2:52
  is
• 2:53
  us
• 2:54
  having
• 2:54
  a
• 2:55
  thought
• 2:56
  that
• 2:57
  we
• 2:57
  have
• 2:57
  a
• 2:58
  lot
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  do,
• 2:59
  that
• 2:59
  we
• 2:59
  have
• 2:59
  too
• 2:59
  much
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  do,
• 3:00
  that
• 3:00
  there's
• 3:01
  too
• 3:01
  much
• 3:01
  going
• 3:02
  on,
• 3:02
  that
• 3:02
  we're
• 3:02
  too
• 3:02
  busy,
• 3:03
  that
• 3:03
  we
• 3:04
  have
• 3:04
  this
• 3:04
  really
• 3:04
  long
• 3:04
  to
• 3:05
  do
• 3:05
  list,
• 3:06
  there's
• 3:06
  not
• 3:06
  enough
• 3:07
  time
• 3:07
  in
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  day
• 3:07
  to
• 3:07
  get
• 3:08
  it
• 3:08
  all
• 3:08
  done,
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  then
• 3:10
  we
• 3:10
  argue
• 3:10
  with
• 3:11
  reality,
• 3:11
  thinking
• 3:12
  that
• 3:12
  there
• 3:12
  shouldn't
• 3:13
  be
• 3:13
  so
• 3:13
  much
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  do,
• 3:15
  we
• 3:15
  can't
• 3:15
  do
• 3:15
  it.
• 3:17
  You
• 3:17
  know,
• 3:17
  it's
• 3:17
  not
• 3:18
  fair.
• 3:19
  And
• 3:19
  then
• 3:19
  this
• 3:20
  is
• 3:20
  what
• 3:20
  creates
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  feeling
• 3:21
  of
• 3:22
  overwhelm.
• 3:23
  It's
• 3:23
  not
• 3:24
  the
• 3:25
  circumstance.
• 3:26
  It's
• 3:26
  not
• 3:27
  how
• 3:27
  many
• 3:28
  items
• 3:28
  you
• 3:28
  have
• 3:28
  on
• 3:28
  your
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  do
• 3:29
  list.
• 3:29
  It's
• 3:29
  not
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  number
• 3:30
  of
• 3:30
  things
• 3:31
  that
• 3:31
  you
• 3:31
  need
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  get
• 3:32
  done.
• 3:33
  Whether
• 3:33
  it's
• 3:33
  on
• 3:33
  a
• 3:33
  deadline
• 3:34
  or
• 3:34
  it's
• 3:35
  self
• 3:36
  imposed,
• 3:38
  it
• 3:38
  is
• 3:39
  created
• 3:39
  by
• 3:39
  your
• 3:40
  thoughts.
• 3:41
  You
• 3:41
  have
• 3:41
  a
• 3:41
  thought
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  there's
• 3:42
  too
• 3:42
  much
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  do,
• 3:43
  then
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  create
• 3:44
  that
• 3:45
  feeling
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  overwhelm.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:47
  then
• 3:47
  as
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  result,
• 3:48
  you
• 3:48
  probably
• 3:49
  are
• 3:49
  tensing
• 3:49
  up.
• 3:50
  You
• 3:50
  could
• 3:50
  be
• 3:50
  yelling,
• 3:51
  you
• 3:51
  could
• 3:51
  be
• 3:51
  complaining,
• 3:52
  you
• 3:52
  could
• 3:52
  be
• 3:52
  withdrawing,
• 3:54
  you
• 3:54
  could
• 3:54
  be
• 3:54
  freezing
• 3:55
  and
• 3:55
  not
• 3:55
  taking
• 3:55
  any
• 3:56
  action.
• 3:57
  it's
• 3:57
  really
• 3:58
  important
• 3:59
  to
• 3:59
  realize
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  it's
• 4:01
  good
• 4:01
  news
• 4:02
  because
• 4:02
  you
• 4:02
  realize
• 4:03
  that
• 4:04
  you
• 4:04
  are
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  creator
• 4:05
  of
• 4:06
  this
• 4:06
  feeling
• 4:06
  of
• 4:06
  overwhelm
• 4:08
  so
• 4:08
  you
• 4:08
  can
• 4:08
  solve
• 4:09
  it
• 4:10
  and
• 4:10
  it's
• 4:11
  not
• 4:13
  by
• 4:14
  reducing
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  number
• 4:15
  of
• 4:15
  things
• 4:15
  that
• 4:15
  you
• 4:16
  have
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  do,
• 4:17
  although
• 4:18
  it
• 4:18
  helps
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  prioritize
• 4:19
  and
• 4:20
  it
• 4:20
  helps
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  get
• 4:20
  the
• 4:20
  most
• 4:21
  important
• 4:21
  things
• 4:21
  done
• 4:21
  and
• 4:22
  then
• 4:22
  table
• 4:22
  the
• 4:23
  rest.
• 4:24
  But
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  first,
• 4:26
  you.
• 4:27
  is
• 4:27
  you
• 4:28
  want
• 4:28
  to
• 4:29
  drop
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  resistance
• 4:31
  to
• 4:31
  what
• 4:31
  is
• 4:31
  going
• 4:32
  on
• 4:33
  because
• 4:34
  We
• 4:35
  have
• 4:36
  this
• 4:36
  thought
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  it
• 4:37
  shouldn't
• 4:38
  be
• 4:38
  like
• 4:38
  this
• 4:39
  and
• 4:42
  we
• 4:42
  start
• 4:43
  arguing
• 4:43
  with
• 4:43
  reality.
• 4:45
  And
• 4:45
  when
• 4:45
  you
• 4:45
  argue
• 4:45
  with
• 4:46
  reality,
• 4:46
  you're
• 4:46
  going
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  lose.
• 4:49
  And
• 4:49
  you're
• 4:49
  spending
• 4:50
  a
• 4:50
  lot
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  time
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  energy
• 4:52
  thinking
• 4:52
  that
• 4:52
  it
• 4:52
  shouldn't
• 4:53
  be
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  way
• 4:53
  it
• 4:53
  is.
• 4:55
  So
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  first
• 4:55
  thing
• 4:55
  is
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  definitely
• 4:56
  just
• 4:56
  want
• 4:56
  to
• 4:57
  drop
• 4:57
  that
• 4:57
  arguing
• 4:57
  with
• 4:58
  reality.
• 4:59
  If
• 4:59
  you
• 4:59
  have
• 5:00
  a
• 5:00
  list
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  things
• 5:01
  that
• 5:01
  you
• 5:01
  need
• 5:01
  to
• 5:01
  get
• 5:01
  done
• 5:02
  for
• 5:02
  your
• 5:02
  kids
• 5:02
  or
• 5:03
  your
• 5:03
  work
• 5:04
  or
• 5:06
  whatever
• 5:06
  it
• 5:06
  is,
• 5:07
  your
• 5:07
  business,
• 5:08
  don't
• 5:09
  argue.
• 5:10
  with
• 5:10
  it
• 5:11
  and
• 5:11
  think
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  it
• 5:11
  should
• 5:11
  be
• 5:12
  different
• 5:12
  than
• 5:12
  it
• 5:12
  is.
• 5:14
  Oftentimes,
• 5:15
  what
• 5:15
  I
• 5:15
  will
• 5:15
  do
• 5:16
  is
• 5:17
  think,
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  have
• 5:18
  things
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  do.
• 5:21
  I
• 5:21
  will
• 5:21
  tell
• 5:22
  myself
• 5:22
  I
• 5:22
  can
• 5:22
  handle
• 5:22
  it.
• 5:24
  I
• 5:24
  will
• 5:25
  tell
• 5:25
  myself
• 5:25
  I
• 5:26
  can
• 5:26
  get
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  most
• 5:27
  important
• 5:27
  things
• 5:28
  done.
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  will
• 5:30
  tell
• 5:31
  myself
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  there
• 5:31
  is
• 5:31
  always
• 5:32
  plenty
• 5:32
  of
• 5:32
  time.
• 5:35
  I've
• 5:35
  got
• 5:35
  this.
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  am
• 5:37
  safe.
• 5:39
  And
• 5:40
  This
• 5:41
  will
• 5:41
  pass.
• 5:43
  And
• 5:43
  these
• 5:44
  thoughts,
• 5:45
  I
• 5:45
  find,
• 5:46
  help
• 5:46
  me
• 5:46
  to
• 5:47
  move
• 5:47
  into
• 5:47
  ease,
• 5:49
  and
• 5:50
  they
• 5:50
  help
• 5:50
  me
• 5:50
  to
• 5:50
  feel
• 5:50
  more
• 5:51
  capable,
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  they
• 5:53
  release
• 5:54
  some
• 5:54
  of
• 5:55
  that
• 5:55
  pressure,
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  they
• 5:56
  release
• 5:57
  some
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  that
• 5:58
  tension.
• 5:59
  And
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  can
• 6:01
  slow
• 6:02
  down.
• 6:03
  And
• 6:04
  when
• 6:04
  I
• 6:04
  slow
• 6:04
  down,
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  focus
• 6:07
  on
• 6:07
  what
• 6:07
  is
• 6:08
  most
• 6:08
  important,
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  I
• 6:10
  focus
• 6:10
  on
• 6:10
  knowing
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  there
• 6:11
  is
• 6:11
  plenty
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  time,
• 6:14
  I
• 6:14
  can
• 6:15
  focus
• 6:15
  my
• 6:15
  brain
• 6:16
  then
• 6:17
  on
• 6:17
  what
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  need
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  accomplish
• 6:18
  and
• 6:19
  what
• 6:19
  I
• 6:19
  need
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  do
• 6:20
  next
• 6:20
  and
• 6:21
  how
• 6:21
  I
• 6:21
  can
• 6:21
  move
• 6:21
  myself
• 6:22
  forward.
• 6:23
  It's
• 6:24
  always
• 6:24
  helpful
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  take
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  pause,
• 6:26
  take
• 6:26
  a
• 6:26
  deep
• 6:27
  breath.
• 6:28
  When
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  are
• 6:29
  feeling
• 6:30
  overwhelmed,
• 6:32
  you
• 6:33
  are
• 6:33
  affecting
• 6:34
  your
• 6:34
  nervous
• 6:34
  system.
• 6:36
  And
• 6:38
  then
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  are
• 6:39
  in
• 6:40
  fight
• 6:41
  or
• 6:41
  flight
• 6:42
  or
• 6:42
  you're
• 6:42
  freezing
• 6:44
  and
• 6:44
  your
• 6:44
  prefrontal
• 6:45
  cortex
• 6:45
  has
• 6:46
  gone
• 6:46
  offline.
• 6:48
  And
• 6:48
  so
• 6:48
  you're
• 6:48
  not
• 6:48
  able
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  think
• 6:49
  clearly
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  rationally.
• 6:50
  if
• 6:50
  you
• 6:51
  can
• 6:51
  slow
• 6:51
  down,
• 6:52
  take
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  pause,
• 6:53
  allow
• 6:53
  for
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  overwhelm,
• 6:56
  and
• 6:56
  breathe,
• 6:58
  and
• 6:58
  let
• 6:58
  it
• 6:58
  to
• 6:58
  start
• 6:59
  dissipate.
• 7:00
  Also,
• 7:01
  it
• 7:01
  helps
• 7:02
  to
• 7:02
  know
• 7:02
  that
• 7:04
  there
• 7:04
  will
• 7:04
  be
• 7:04
  busy
• 7:04
  periods
• 7:06
  in
• 7:06
  your
• 7:06
  life.
• 7:08
  Some
• 7:08
  will
• 7:08
  be
• 7:08
  busier
• 7:09
  than
• 7:09
  others.
• 7:10
  Sometimes
• 7:10
  you
• 7:10
  will
• 7:10
  have
• 7:11
  more
• 7:11
  to
• 7:12
  do
• 7:12
  than
• 7:12
  others,
• 7:14
  and
• 7:15
  that's
• 7:15
  okay.
• 7:16
  You
• 7:16
  can
• 7:17
  maybe
• 7:17
  expect
• 7:17
  it.
• 7:19
  Expect
• 7:19
  that
• 7:19
  these
• 7:20
  things
• 7:20
  are
• 7:20
  going
• 7:20
  to
• 7:20
  happen.
• 7:21
  There
• 7:21
  are
• 7:21
  going
• 7:21
  to
• 7:22
  be
• 7:22
  these
• 7:22
  periods
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  our
• 7:23
  lives.
• 7:24
  And
• 7:24
  it's
• 7:25
  okay.
• 7:25
  Nothing
• 7:25
  has
• 7:26
  gone
• 7:26
  wrong.
• 7:27
  And
• 7:27
  they
• 7:27
  never
• 7:28
  last
• 7:28
  forever.
• 7:30
  It
• 7:30
  could
• 7:30
  be
• 7:31
  a
• 7:31
  phase,
• 7:31
  it
• 7:31
  could
• 7:31
  be
• 7:32
  a
• 7:32
  season,
• 7:33
  but
• 7:33
  it
• 7:33
  doesn't
• 7:34
  last.
• 7:35
  remember
• 7:36
  just
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  drop
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  resistance,
• 7:37
  don't
• 7:38
  argue
• 7:38
  with
• 7:38
  reality,
• 7:40
  allow
• 7:41
  for
• 7:41
  feeling
• 7:41
  overwhelmed,
• 7:43
  but
• 7:44
  don't
• 7:45
  try
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  fight
• 7:46
  against
• 7:47
  what's
• 7:47
  going
• 7:47
  on.
• 7:48
  Take
• 7:49
  time
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  pause,
• 7:50
  take
• 7:50
  time
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  breathe,
• 7:52
  focus,
• 7:53
  bring
• 7:53
  your
• 7:53
  prefrontal
• 7:54
  cortex
• 7:55
  back
• 7:55
  online,
• 7:56
  remind
• 7:57
  yourself
• 7:58
  that
• 7:59
  you
• 7:59
  have
• 7:59
  plenty
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  time,
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  you
• 8:01
  can
• 8:01
  get
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  most
• 8:01
  important
• 8:02
  things
• 8:02
  done.
• 8:04
  And
• 8:04
  generate
• 8:04
  that
• 8:04
  feeling
• 8:05
  of
• 8:05
  ease
• 8:06
  and
• 8:06
  of
• 8:06
  capability
• 8:07
  in
• 8:07
  you.
• 8:09
  As
• 8:09
  I
• 8:09
  said
• 8:10
  at
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  beginning,
• 8:11
  overwhelm
• 8:11
  is
• 8:12
  not
• 8:12
  necessary.
• 8:13
  It
• 8:14
  does
• 8:14
  not
• 8:14
  serve
• 8:14
  any
• 8:14
  purpose.
• 8:16
  So,
• 8:18
  there
• 8:18
  may
• 8:18
  be
• 8:18
  things
• 8:19
  going
• 8:19
  on.
• 8:20
  You
• 8:21
  have
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  be
• 8:21
  mindful
• 8:22
  of
• 8:22
  your
• 8:22
  thoughts
• 8:23
  about
• 8:23
  them
• 8:25
  and
• 8:25
  they
• 8:25
  are
• 8:25
  either
• 8:25
  going
• 8:25
  to
• 8:25
  serve
• 8:26
  you
• 8:27
  or
• 8:28
  they're
• 8:28
  going
• 8:28
  to
• 8:28
  overwhelm
• 8:29
  you.
• 8:31
  And
• 8:33
  all
• 8:33
  of
• 8:34
  this
• 8:35
  makes
• 8:35
  sense
• 8:36
  in
• 8:36
  the
• 8:36
  grand
• 8:37
  scheme
• 8:37
  of
• 8:37
  things
• 8:38
  because
• 8:40
  we
• 8:40
  do
• 8:41
  have
• 8:41
  a
• 8:41
  lot
• 8:42
  more
• 8:42
  options
• 8:43
  and
• 8:43
  choices
• 8:44
  and
• 8:45
  information
• 8:46
  that
• 8:47
  our
• 8:47
  brain
• 8:48
  is
• 8:49
  processing
• 8:50
  on
• 8:50
  a
• 8:50
  daily
• 8:51
  basis.
• 8:52
  When
• 8:53
  you
• 8:53
  think
• 8:53
  about
• 8:54
  how
• 8:55
  we
• 8:55
  have
• 8:55
  evolved
• 8:57
  and
• 8:57
  where
• 8:58
  we
• 8:58
  came
• 8:58
  from,
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  amount
• 9:02
  of
• 9:02
  choices
• 9:03
  And
• 9:04
  options
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  information
• 9:06
  that
• 9:07
  our
• 9:07
  brain
• 9:07
  is
• 9:08
  now
• 9:09
  faced
• 9:09
  with
• 9:09
  on
• 9:10
  a
• 9:10
  day
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  day
• 9:11
  basis.
• 9:12
  Never
• 9:12
  mind
• 9:12
  that
• 9:12
  just
• 9:13
  an
• 9:13
  hour
• 9:13
  or,
• 9:14
  five
• 9:14
  minutes
• 9:15
  that
• 9:16
  you're
• 9:16
  scrolling
• 9:16
  on
• 9:16
  social
• 9:17
  media.
• 9:18
  It
• 9:18
  is
• 9:20
  much
• 9:22
  more
• 9:23
  than
• 9:23
  ever
• 9:24
  before.
• 9:26
  Previously,
• 9:26
  it
• 9:26
  was
• 9:26
  a
• 9:26
  lot
• 9:27
  more
• 9:27
  simple.
• 9:28
  It's
• 9:28
  a
• 9:28
  lot
• 9:28
  simpler
• 9:29
  for
• 9:29
  our
• 9:29
  brains.
• 9:31
  We
• 9:31
  didn't
• 9:31
  have
• 9:31
  so
• 9:31
  many
• 9:32
  choices.
• 9:34
  Eat
• 9:34
  plants,
• 9:34
  don't
• 9:35
  eat
• 9:35
  plants.
• 9:36
  Eat
• 9:36
  meat,
• 9:37
  don't
• 9:37
  eat
• 9:37
  meat,
• 9:37
  eat
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  berries,
• 9:38
  don't
• 9:38
  eat
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  berries.
• 9:41
  But
• 9:41
  now
• 9:42
  we
• 9:43
  have
• 9:43
  a
• 9:43
  lot
• 9:44
  more
• 9:44
  options
• 9:45
  and
• 9:46
  it.
• 9:46
  It,
• 9:46
  it
• 9:47
  is
• 9:49
  more
• 9:50
  demanding
• 9:51
  on
• 9:51
  our
• 9:51
  brains.
• 9:53
  I
• 9:53
  remember
• 9:54
  I
• 9:54
  used
• 9:54
  to,
• 9:55
  when
• 9:55
  I,
• 9:56
  when
• 9:56
  I
• 9:56
  first
• 9:57
  started
• 9:57
  working
• 9:57
  overseas
• 9:59
  and
• 10:00
  I
• 10:01
  was
• 10:01
  in
• 10:01
  Angola,
• 10:02
  and
• 10:02
  this
• 10:02
  is
• 10:02
  going
• 10:03
  back
• 10:03
  in
• 10:03
  2003,
• 10:05
  and
• 10:05
  I
• 10:05
  was
• 10:05
  out
• 10:05
  in
• 10:05
  the
• 10:06
  bush,
• 10:06
  and
• 10:07
  In
• 10:07
  the
• 10:08
  middle
• 10:08
  of
• 10:08
  nowhere
• 10:08
  with
• 10:09
  no
• 10:09
  stores,
• 10:09
  nothing,
• 10:10
  we
• 10:10
  had
• 10:10
  to
• 10:10
  package
• 10:11
  up
• 10:11
  our
• 10:11
  food
• 10:11
  and
• 10:12
  send
• 10:12
  it
• 10:12
  out
• 10:12
  with
• 10:12
  us
• 10:14
  and
• 10:14
  I
• 10:14
  would
• 10:14
  come
• 10:14
  home
• 10:15
  on
• 10:15
  vacation
• 10:17
  and
• 10:18
  just
• 10:19
  be
• 10:19
  overwhelmed
• 10:22
  in
• 10:22
  the
• 10:22
  grocery
• 10:23
  store
• 10:23
  with
• 10:23
  the
• 10:23
  options
• 10:24
  and
• 10:24
  if
• 10:24
  you
• 10:24
  think
• 10:25
  about
• 10:25
  cereal
• 10:27

  it
• 10:30
  is,
• 10:30
  the
• 10:31
  options
• 10:32
  are
• 10:34
  massive.
• 10:36
  And
• 10:37
  you
• 10:37
  stand
• 10:37
  there
• 10:37
  in
• 10:37
  front
• 10:38
  and
• 10:38
  everything's
• 10:38
  very
• 10:39
  colorful
• 10:39
  and
• 10:39
  there's
• 10:40
  lots
• 10:40
  of
• 10:41
  pictures
• 10:42
  and,
• 10:43
  you
• 10:43
  know,
• 10:44
  all
• 10:44
  of
• 10:44
  the
• 10:44
  things
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  you
• 10:45
  look
• 10:45
  at
• 10:45
  it
• 10:46
  and
• 10:46
  I
• 10:46
  was
• 10:46
  just
• 10:47
  like
• 10:48
  paralyzed.
• 10:49
  I
• 10:50
  guess
• 10:50
  I
• 10:50
  froze
• 10:51
  just
• 10:51
  looking
• 10:52
  at
• 10:52
  all
• 10:52
  of
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  options
• 10:53
  trying
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  make
• 10:53
  a
• 10:54
  decision.
• 10:55
  And
• 10:56
  so
• 10:56
  our
• 10:56
  brain
• 10:57
  is
• 10:57
  confronted
• 10:58
  like
• 10:58
  this
• 10:58
  every
• 10:58
  single
• 10:59
  day,
• 10:59
  and
• 10:59
  it's
• 10:59
  not
• 11:00
  as
• 11:00
  pronounced
• 11:01
  when
• 11:02
  we
• 11:02
  do
• 11:03
  see
• 11:03
  it
• 11:03
  every
• 11:03
  day,
• 11:03
  but
• 11:04
  it's
• 11:04
  still
• 11:04
  a
• 11:04
  lot.
• 11:06
  So
• 11:06
  it
• 11:06
  makes
• 11:07
  sense
• 11:08
  that
• 11:09
  your
• 11:09
  reaction.
• 11:11
  With
• 11:12
  a
• 11:12
  number
• 11:12
  of
• 11:12
  responsibilities,
• 11:13
  with
• 11:13
  a
• 11:13
  number
• 11:14
  of
• 11:14
  chores,
• 11:14
  with
• 11:14
  a
• 11:14
  number
• 11:15
  of
• 11:15
  things
• 11:15
  you
• 11:16
  need
• 11:16
  to
• 11:16
  get
• 11:16
  done,
• 11:17
  that,
• 11:18
  you
• 11:18
  know,
• 11:18
  your
• 11:19
  brain
• 11:19
  starts
• 11:20
  to
• 11:20
  panic
• 11:20
  a
• 11:20
  little
• 11:21
  bit
• 11:21
  and
• 11:21
  it
• 11:21
  starts
• 11:21
  to
• 11:21
  think,
• 11:22
  I
• 11:22
  can't
• 11:22
  do
• 11:22
  this.
• 11:23
  It's
• 11:23
  too
• 11:23
  much.
• 11:25
  But
• 11:26
  the
• 11:26
  important
• 11:27
  thing
• 11:27
  is
• 11:28
  that
• 11:28
  you
• 11:29
  manage
• 11:30
  your
• 11:30
  mind.
• 11:31
  You're
• 11:31
  training
• 11:31
  your
• 11:31
  brain
• 11:33
  to
• 11:33
  focus
• 11:35
  because
• 11:36
  it
• 11:36
  will
• 11:36
  get
• 11:37
  overwhelming.
• 11:38
  If
• 11:38
  you
• 11:38
  allow
• 11:39
  it
• 11:39
  to
• 11:39
  think
• 11:39
  about
• 11:40
  all
• 11:40
  the
• 11:40
  social
• 11:40
  media
• 11:41
  and
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  apps
• 11:41
  and
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  TV
• 11:42
  and
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  news
• 11:43
  and
• 11:43
  the
• 11:43
  information,
• 11:45
  it's
• 11:45
  not
• 11:45
  you.
• 11:47
  It
• 11:47
  is
• 11:48
  the
• 11:48
  society
• 11:49
  that
• 11:49
  we're
• 11:49
  living
• 11:49
  in
• 11:49
  now.
• 11:51
  Knowing
• 11:52
  that
• 11:52
  you
• 11:53
  can
• 11:54
  refocus
• 11:55
  your
• 11:55
  brain
• 11:56
  and
• 11:56
  train
• 11:56
  it
• 11:58
  when
• 11:58
  it
• 11:58
  starts
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  get
• 11:59
  overwhelmed.
• 12:01
  And
• 12:02
  allowing
• 12:02
  your
• 12:02
  thoughts
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  go
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  like,
• 12:03
  it's
• 12:03
  too
• 12:04
  much,
• 12:04
  I
• 12:04
  can't
• 12:04
  do
• 12:04
  this.
• 12:06
  It
• 12:06
  shouldn't
• 12:06
  be
• 12:06
  like
• 12:07
  this.
• 12:08
  That's
• 12:08
  when
• 12:08
  your
• 12:08
  brain
• 12:09
  is
• 12:09
  operating
• 12:09
  on
• 12:10
  autopilot.
• 12:12
  And
• 12:13
  if
• 12:13
  you
• 12:13
  can
• 12:13
  gain
• 12:13
  that
• 12:14
  awareness
• 12:14
  that
• 12:14
  that's
• 12:15
  what's
• 12:15
  going
• 12:15
  on,
• 12:18
  and
• 12:18
  then
• 12:18
  bring
• 12:19
  it
• 12:19
  back,
• 12:20
  which
• 12:20
  is
• 12:20
  a
• 12:21
  skill,
• 12:22
  it's
• 12:22
  a
• 12:22
  skill
• 12:23
  that
• 12:23
  you
• 12:23
  have
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  learn
• 12:24
  to
• 12:24
  refocus
• 12:24
  it,
• 12:26
  but
• 12:27
  it
• 12:27
  is
• 12:27
  something
• 12:28
  that
• 12:28
  you
• 12:28
  can
• 12:28
  learn
• 12:29
  and
• 12:29
  become
• 12:29
  better
• 12:29
  at.
• 12:32
  So,
• 12:33
  making
• 12:34
  decisions.
• 12:35
  Sometimes
• 12:36
  it
• 12:36
  helps
• 12:36
  to
• 12:37
  make
• 12:37
  decisions
• 12:38
  ahead
• 12:38
  of
• 12:38
  time.
• 12:40
  For
• 12:40
  instance...
• 12:42
  Going
• 12:42
  to
• 12:42
  the
• 12:42
  supermarket
• 12:43
  to
• 12:44
  make
• 12:44
  a
• 12:44
  decision
• 12:45
  about
• 12:45
  what
• 12:45
  food
• 12:45
  I'm
• 12:46
  going
• 12:46
  to
• 12:46
  buy,
• 12:46
  if
• 12:46
  it's
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  cereal,
• 12:48
  I
• 12:48
  know
• 12:48
  I'm,
• 12:50
  you
• 12:50
  know,
• 12:50
  not
• 12:50
  going
• 12:50
  to
• 12:50
  buy
• 12:51
  anything
• 12:51
  with
• 12:53
  too
• 12:54
  much
• 12:54
  sugar,
• 12:55
  and
• 12:55
  it
• 12:55
  has
• 12:55
  to
• 12:55
  have
• 12:56
  high
• 12:56
  in
• 12:56
  fiber,
• 12:58
  and
• 12:58
  it's
• 12:58
  not
• 12:58
  going
• 12:59
  to
• 12:59
  be
• 12:59
  like
• 13:00
  a
• 13:00
  dessert.
• 13:01
  So
• 13:01
  I've
• 13:02
  constrained
• 13:03
  some
• 13:03
  of
• 13:03
  the
• 13:03
  decisions
• 13:04
  that
• 13:04
  I
• 13:04
  need
• 13:05
  to
• 13:05
  make.
• 13:07
  I
• 13:07
  know
• 13:07
  I'm
• 13:07
  not
• 13:07
  going
• 13:08
  to
• 13:09
  buy
• 13:09
  any
• 13:09
  juice.
• 13:10
  I
• 13:10
  know
• 13:11
  I'm
• 13:11
  going
• 13:12
  to
• 13:12
  buy
• 13:12
  only
• 13:13
  organic
• 13:13
  produce.
• 13:14
  Whatever
• 13:15
  it
• 13:15
  is,
• 13:16
  you
• 13:16
  can
• 13:16
  make
• 13:16
  some
• 13:17
  of
• 13:17
  those
• 13:17
  decisions
• 13:17
  ahead
• 13:18
  of
• 13:18
  time
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  help
• 13:19
  constrain
• 13:20
  and
• 13:20
  not
• 13:20
  to
• 13:23
  bombard
• 13:23
  your
• 13:23
  brain
• 13:24
  with,
• 13:24
  with
• 13:24
  too
• 13:24
  many
• 13:25
  decisions
• 13:26
  and
• 13:26
  then
• 13:28
  undisciplined
• 13:28
  thoughts.
• 13:31
  It's
• 13:31
  important
• 13:31
  to
• 13:31
  realize
• 13:32
  that
• 13:32
  this
• 13:32
  is
• 13:32
  not
• 13:33
  going
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  change
• 13:34
  anytime
• 13:34
  soon.
• 13:36
  The
• 13:36
  amount
• 13:36
  of
• 13:37
  information,
• 13:38
  all
• 13:39
  the,
• 13:39
  the
• 13:39
  choices
• 13:40
  that
• 13:40
  we
• 13:40
  have
• 13:40
  to
• 13:40
  make,
• 13:41
  it's
• 13:41
  not
• 13:41
  going
• 13:42
  to
• 13:42
  change.
• 13:44
  it's
• 13:45
  better
• 13:45
  for
• 13:45
  us
• 13:46
  to
• 13:46
  learn
• 13:46
  how
• 13:46
  to
• 13:47
  get
• 13:47
  our
• 13:48
  brains
• 13:48
  off
• 13:49
  of
• 13:49
  autopilot
• 13:50
  and
• 13:51
  gain
• 13:52
  that
• 13:52
  awareness
• 13:53
  and
• 13:53
  build
• 13:54
  that
• 13:54
  skill
• 13:55
  of,
• 13:56
  of
• 13:56
  refocusing
• 13:57
  it.
• 13:59
  And
• 14:00
  the
• 14:00
  good
• 14:00
  news
• 14:00
  is
• 14:00
  that
• 14:01
  everything
• 14:01
  is
• 14:01
  figureoutable.
• 14:03
  We
• 14:03
  can
• 14:03
  train
• 14:03
  our
• 14:03
  brains,
• 14:04
  we
• 14:04
  can
• 14:05
  learn
• 14:05
  new
• 14:05
  things,
• 14:07
  and
• 14:07
  we
• 14:07
  can
• 14:08
  rewire
• 14:08
  our
• 14:08
  brains.
• 14:10
  This
• 14:10
  is
• 14:11
  all
• 14:11
  that
• 14:11
  we've
• 14:11
  learned
• 14:12
  with
• 14:12
  neuroplasticity.
• 14:14
  We
• 14:14
  can
• 14:14
  rewire,
• 14:15
  we
• 14:15
  can
• 14:16
  learn
• 14:16
  new
• 14:16
  things.
• 14:17
  It
• 14:17
  is
• 14:17
  possible.
• 14:20
  remember
• 14:20
  that
• 14:21
  overwhelm
• 14:21
  is
• 14:21
  just
• 14:22
  keeping
• 14:22
  you
• 14:22
  stuck.
• 14:24
  It's
• 14:24
  an
• 14:24
  indulgent
• 14:25
  emotion.
• 14:26
  It's
• 14:26
  not
• 14:26
  necessary.
• 14:27
  It's
• 14:27
  not
• 14:27
  serving
• 14:28
  you.
• 14:28
  But
• 14:30
  it
• 14:30
  is
• 14:31
  easy
• 14:31
  for
• 14:31
  your
• 14:31
  brain,
• 14:32
  and
• 14:33
  it
• 14:33
  will
• 14:33
  be
• 14:33
  comfortable
• 14:34
  for
• 14:34
  your
• 14:34
  brain.
• 14:34
  It
• 14:35
  just
• 14:36
  will
• 14:36
  default
• 14:36
  to
• 14:36
  the
• 14:37
  negative.
• 14:38
  It
• 14:38
  likes
• 14:39
  to
• 14:39
  just
• 14:39
  keep
• 14:39
  things
• 14:40
  easy,
• 14:40
  and
• 14:40
  complaining,
• 14:41
  and
• 14:41
  feeling
• 14:42
  overwhelmed,
• 14:43
  and
• 14:43
  feeling,
• 14:44
  and
• 14:44
  being
• 14:44
  stuck
• 14:46
  is
• 14:46
  easy
• 14:46
  for
• 14:46
  your
• 14:47
  brain.
• 14:49
  as
• 14:49
  I
• 14:49
  said
• 14:49
  earlier,
• 14:50
  if
• 14:50
  you
• 14:50
  can
• 14:50
  minimize
• 14:50
  some
• 14:51
  of
• 14:51
  your
• 14:51
  decisions,
• 14:51
  make
• 14:52
  them
• 14:52
  ahead
• 14:52
  of
• 14:52
  time.
• 14:53
  You
• 14:53
  can
• 14:53
  always
• 14:54
  change
• 14:54
  your
• 14:54
  mind
• 14:54
  after,
• 14:55
  or
• 14:56
  later
• 14:56
  if
• 14:56
  you
• 14:56
  need
• 14:56
  to.
• 14:58
  But
• 14:58
  just
• 14:58
  reassure
• 14:59
  your
• 14:59
  brain
• 14:59
  that
• 15:00
  it's
• 15:00
  safe
• 15:01
  and
• 15:01
  that
• 15:03
  you
• 15:03
  can
• 15:04
  make
• 15:04
  decisions
• 15:05
  and,

  But

  really

  try

  and

  develop

  that

  catch

  yourself

  when

  it

  starts

  starts

  panic,

  that

  it's

  too
• 15:22
  much.
• 15:24
  The

  important
• 15:25
  thing
• 15:25
  is

  to

  of

  You

  You

  don't

  You

  always

  have

  You

  what

  it

• 15:53
  Don't
• 15:53
  allow
• 15:54
  it
• 15:54
  just
• 15:54
  to
• 15:54
  go
• 15:55
  on
• 15:55
  to

  Autopilot.
• 15:58
  Another

  great
• 15:59
  way
• 15:59
  to

  focus
• 16:00
  your

  brain
• 16:01
  is
• 16:02
  by,

  by

  figuring
• 16:05
  out
• 16:06
  what
• 16:06
  are
• 16:06
  the
• 16:07
  facts
• 16:07
  of
• 16:07
  the

  situation
• 16:09
  and
• 16:09
  what
• 16:09
  is
• 16:09
  the

  drama
• 16:10
  that
• 16:10
  it's
• 16:11
  your

  brain

  is

  adding.
• 16:13
  Sometimes
• 16:14
  if
• 16:14
  you
• 16:14
  can
• 16:14
  list,
• 16:15
  okay,
• 16:16
  what
• 16:16
  exactly
• 16:16
  is
• 16:17
  on
• 16:17
  my

  do

  list?
• 16:17
  What
• 16:18
  exactly
• 16:18
  are
• 16:18
  the
• 16:19
  most
• 16:19
  important
• 16:19
  things
• 16:19
  I
• 16:19
  need
• 16:20
  to
• 16:20
  get
• 16:20
  done
• 16:20
  here?
• 16:21
  What

  exactly
• 16:22
  are
• 16:22
  the

  facts
• 16:22
  of

  this

  situation
• 16:24
  that
• 16:24
  I'm
• 16:24
  in?
• 16:26
  And
• 16:26
  then
• 16:27
  what
• 16:28
  is
• 16:28
  all
• 16:29
  the
• 16:29
  drama
• 16:29
  that
• 16:30
  my
• 16:30
  brain
• 16:30
  is
• 16:30
  adding
• 16:31
  in,
• 16:31
  that
• 16:31
  it's
• 16:31
  too
• 16:31
  much,
• 16:32
  that
• 16:32
  I
• 16:32
  can't
• 16:32
  get
• 16:32
  it
• 16:33
  done,
• 16:33
  that
• 16:33
  it's,
• 16:34
  I'll
• 16:34
  never
• 16:35
  finish
• 16:35
  it,
• 16:36
  whatever
• 16:36
  it
• 16:37
  is,
• 16:39
  but
• 16:39
  separate
• 16:40
  those
• 16:40
  out
• 16:41
  and
• 16:41
  you'll
• 16:41
  be
• 16:41
  able
• 16:42
  to
• 16:42
  get
• 16:42
  a
• 16:42
  little
• 16:43
  bit
• 16:43
  of
• 16:43
  perspective.
• 16:43
  It
• 16:44
  will
• 16:44
  give
• 16:44
  you
• 16:44
  some
• 16:45
  space
• 16:45
  to
• 16:46
  see
• 16:47
  that
• 16:47
  your

  brain
• 16:48
  really
• 16:48
  does
• 16:49
  like

  to.
• 16:50
  amp
• 16:50
  up
• 16:50
  the
• 16:50
  drama
• 16:51
  and
• 16:51
  add
• 16:52
  a
• 16:52
  lot
• 16:52
  of
• 16:52
  color
• 16:53
  and
• 16:54
  details
• 16:55
  that
• 16:55
  just
• 16:56
  aren't
• 16:56
  serving
• 16:57
  you.
• 16:58
  You
• 16:58
  want
• 16:58
  to
• 16:59
  really
• 16:59
  ask
• 17:00
  yourself
• 17:00
  what
• 17:01
  is
• 17:01
  going
• 17:01
  to
• 17:01
  help
• 17:02
  and
• 17:02
  what's
• 17:02
  not
• 17:03
  going
• 17:03
  to
• 17:03
  help.
• 17:04
  Guaranteed,
• 17:06
  adding
• 17:06
  in
• 17:06
  all
• 17:06
  that
• 17:07
  drama
• 17:08
  is
• 17:08
  not
• 17:08
  going
• 17:09
  to
• 17:09
  help.
• 17:11
  Instead,
• 17:12
  You
• 17:12
  want
• 17:13
  to
• 17:14
  commit
• 17:14
  to
• 17:15
  being
• 17:15
  positive
• 17:16
  and
• 17:16
  staying
• 17:17
  focused
• 17:18
  on
• 17:19
  what's
• 17:19
  most
• 17:19
  important
• 17:20
  and
• 17:20
  what's
• 17:20
  going
• 17:20
  to
• 17:20
  move
• 17:20
  you
• 17:21
  forward.
• 17:23
  Decide
• 17:25
  how
• 17:25
  you
• 17:26
  want
• 17:26
  to
• 17:26
  experience
• 17:28
  this
• 17:28
  situation
• 17:29
  and
• 17:29
  how
• 17:30
  you
• 17:30
  want
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  show
• 17:31
  up.
• 17:32
  How
• 17:32
  do
• 17:32
  you
• 17:32
  want
• 17:32
  to
• 17:33
  handle
• 17:33
  this?
• 17:33
  How
• 17:33
  do
• 17:33
  you
• 17:34
  want
• 17:34
  to
• 17:35
  maybe
• 17:35
  set
• 17:35
  an
• 17:35
  example
• 17:36
  for
• 17:37
  your
• 17:37
  colleagues,
• 17:38
  your
• 17:38
  family,
• 17:39
  your
• 17:39
  children,
• 17:39
  whoever
• 17:40
  it
• 17:40
  is?
• 17:41
  Remind
• 17:42
  yourself
• 17:43
  that
• 17:43
  getting
• 17:44
  stressed
• 17:44
  and
• 17:44
  feeling
• 17:45
  overwhelmed
• 17:46
  serves
• 17:47
  no
• 17:47
  purpose.
• 17:49
  So
• 17:49
  just
• 17:50
  constrain
• 17:50
  your
• 17:51
  decisions,
• 17:52
  decide
• 17:53
  what
• 17:53
  you
• 17:53
  want
• 17:53
  to
• 17:53
  focus
• 17:54
  on,
• 17:55
  focus
• 17:55
  your

  brain.
• 17:57
  Don't
• 17:57
  let
• 17:58
  it
• 17:58
  run
• 17:58
  off
• 17:59
  with
• 17:59
  all
• 17:59
  these
• 17:59
  thoughts
• 18:00
  that
• 18:00
  it's
• 18:00
  too
• 18:00
  much,
• 18:00
  that
• 18:01
  you're
• 18:01
  too
• 18:01
  busy,
• 18:01
  that
• 18:01
  you're
• 18:02
  exhausted,
• 18:02
  that
• 18:03
  you
• 18:03
  can't
• 18:03
  handle
• 18:03
  it,
• 18:04
  that
• 18:04
  you're
• 18:04
  never
• 18:05
  going
• 18:05
  to
• 18:05
  get
• 18:05
  it
• 18:05
  done,
• 18:05
  that
• 18:05
  there's
• 18:06
  not
• 18:06
  enough
• 18:06
  time.
• 18:08
  That
• 18:08
  is
• 18:08
  really

  just

  you
• 18:10
  in
• 18:10
  a

  victim

  it
• 18:11
  does
• 18:12
  not
• 18:12
  serve
• 18:12
  you.
• 18:15
  Watch
• 18:15
  how
• 18:15
  you
• 18:16
  speak
• 18:16
  to
• 18:17
  yourself
• 18:18
  and
• 18:18
  watch
• 18:19
  how
• 18:19
  you
• 18:19
  speak
• 18:19
  to

  it.
• 18:21
  Stick

  to

  the

• 18:23
  Don't

  add
• 18:23
  in
• 18:23
  all
• 18:24
  the

  drama

  because

  that

  you

  feel

  overwhelmed,
• 18:29
  for

  sure.
• 18:30
  It

  will

  make

  you

  feel

  terrible.
• 18:31
  It

  will

  keep

  you

  stuck.
• 18:34
  You

  have

  a

  how

  you

  you

  up.
• 18:46
  Don't
• 18:46
  let
• 18:47
  your
• 18:47
  brain
• 18:47
  take

  over.
• 18:49
  You
• 18:50
  have
• 18:50
  to
• 18:50
  manage
• 18:50
  your

  mind
• 18:51
  or

  it

  will

  you.
• 18:53
  You
• 18:53
  always
• 18:53
  have

  a

  choice,
• 18:54
  so
• 18:55
  you
• 18:55
  don't
• 18:55
  have
• 18:55
  to
• 18:56
  be
• 18:56
  a

  victim

  and

  to

  the

  confusion

  All
