  Speaker 3: Welcome back. Do you know the answer to this week's
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: trivia question? The question was what popular board game was
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: originally called The Landlord's Game. The answer Monopoly. It was
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: originally created by Elizabeth Magee in nineteen oh three as
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: The Landlord's Game. The game was designed to illustrate the
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: economic consequences of landownership and monopolies. Over time, it evolved
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: into the version we know today as Monopoly, one of
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the most famous board games in the world.

  Speaker 1: Now you know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: When other people bring negativity into our lives. It can
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: be easy to carry their words with us long after
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the moment has passed, But protecting your piece begins with
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: remembering that not every opinion deserves space in your mind.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Sometimes another person's negativity reflects their stress, fear, or frustration,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: not your worth. One strategy is to set mental boundaries.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: You may not be able to avoid negative people, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you can choose how deeply their words affect you. Another
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: strategy is to redirect your focus when negativity starts to
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: take hold, shift your attention to gratitude, prayer, deep breathing,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: or a simple truth like I will not let this
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: ruin my day. A third strategy is to fill your
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: mind with encouraging voices, uplifting content, and supportive people who
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: strengthen your outlook. As we close out today's episode, remember this,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you do not have to carry what was never yours
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: to hold. Other people may choose negativity, but you can
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: choose peace. As Eleen Roosevelt said, no one can make
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you feel inferior without your consent. So until next time,
