[2107.90 --> 2108.78] I got distortions.
[2108.92 --> 2109.76] What's going on?
[2110.16 --> 2110.42] Yeah.
[2110.66 --> 2111.74] Everybody has this.
[2111.86 --> 2112.64] It's a thing.
[2113.08 --> 2113.22] Yeah.
[2113.32 --> 2114.20] Come join the rest of us.
[2114.20 --> 2114.50] Right.
[2114.96 --> 2115.66] Join the club.
[2115.74 --> 2116.12] You already have.
[2116.68 --> 2117.12] Right.
[2117.26 --> 2117.96] Got the t-shirt.
[2119.24 --> 2123.00] But what am I going to do so that I can change and move in the direction?
[2123.00 --> 2128.28] Like I want to be intentional about the way that I live, that I am looking for the things
[2128.28 --> 2130.14] that help me feel better and do better.
[2130.22 --> 2131.18] Because guess what?
[2131.22 --> 2134.14] I'm then going to build a snowball around.
[2134.90 --> 2136.30] How I feel is better.
[2136.38 --> 2137.80] And look at the effort I made.
[2137.90 --> 2139.96] And there was a positive outcome to that effort.
[2139.96 --> 2141.22] And like, oh, this sucked.
[2141.28 --> 2142.38] And it was so hard for me.
[2142.40 --> 2143.34] And I didn't want to do it.
[2143.60 --> 2144.62] But I did it.
[2145.02 --> 2145.16] Yeah.
[2145.16 --> 2152.38] And so now I'm practicing tethering, ironically, my positive emotions to my efforts and not
[2152.38 --> 2153.04] to outcomes.
[2153.48 --> 2153.80] Yeah.
[2154.28 --> 2156.06] This is so important.
[2156.12 --> 2160.76] We talk about it in learning because we're not always in charge of outcomes.
[2160.76 --> 2162.90] And this is part of managing our humanity.
[2162.98 --> 2170.58] I can imagine losing someone I love and just how horrific that would feel to me.
[2170.80 --> 2174.36] I don't think there's any amount of time I could spend with those I love that I would
[2174.36 --> 2175.66] be like, that's good.
[2175.74 --> 2176.50] I've had enough.
[2176.50 --> 2177.16] I've had enough, yeah.
[2177.58 --> 2179.82] It's going to be painful at whatever time.
[2180.22 --> 2185.82] But if I can learn to practice putting on gratitude, and I have had to practice this
[2185.82 --> 2189.62] with my kids especially, because I love them.
[2189.70 --> 2191.16] I'm so grateful for them.
[2191.32 --> 2192.06] They were wanted.
[2192.82 --> 2198.74] And so every time a thought pops up of imagining something happening to them or whatever it
[2198.74 --> 2201.20] could be that I have to go, thank you.
[2201.52 --> 2202.12] Thank you.
[2202.12 --> 2207.54] And as long and as much as it takes in order to change that channel, because this is how
[2207.54 --> 2209.16] I'm building a new neural network.
[2210.02 --> 2214.36] Because remember when we talked earlier about neurons that fire together, wire together.
[2214.70 --> 2214.76] Yeah.
[2214.84 --> 2219.98] So the more that I think a thought, the more that I'm running that play, my brain automates
[2219.98 --> 2220.84] to that.
[2221.48 --> 2226.98] So I want to practice automating around the positive that I can just see it.
[2227.34 --> 2227.60] Yeah.
[2227.60 --> 2233.34] There's a psychologist who wrote this book some years ago called The Happiness Advantage.
[2233.44 --> 2234.64] His name is Sean Aker.
[2234.88 --> 2236.04] Aker without the N.
[2236.42 --> 2237.20] Aker without the N.
[2237.66 --> 2240.56] And he studied at Harvard.
[2240.80 --> 2245.36] And he had this experience, which prompted a research study around thoughts.
[2245.36 --> 2248.38] And so he'd been playing Grand Theft Auto all night long.
[2249.04 --> 2252.78] And he went out the next morning to go to class.
[2253.22 --> 2255.36] And he saw the Cambridge police.
[2255.36 --> 2258.80] And he's like, oh, my gosh, I would get the max amount of points if I stole that police
[2258.80 --> 2259.38] car right now.
[2260.96 --> 2261.62] Oh, boy.
[2261.98 --> 2263.28] And he was mortified.
[2263.34 --> 2264.04] He's like, what?
[2264.16 --> 2265.02] What in me?
[2265.02 --> 2267.44] I'm training to be a psychologist.
[2267.72 --> 2268.74] And I'm having these thoughts.
[2268.92 --> 2269.94] Like, what the heck?
[2270.80 --> 2274.86] And so not to mention that the policeman was in the vehicle.
[2275.50 --> 2276.94] And that didn't deter him.
[2277.56 --> 2284.08] So he did this study and had students play Tetris for, I forget the length of time, whether
[2284.08 --> 2286.40] it was 48 or 72 hours, but consistently.
[2286.82 --> 2288.70] And then report on their experiences.
[2288.70 --> 2293.96] And what they said is everywhere they went after that, they saw Tetra shapes.
[2294.06 --> 2295.02] They'd go to the grocery store.
[2295.04 --> 2297.88] And they're like, if I just flip this cereal box, I'll lose a line.
[2298.00 --> 2299.24] I'll go to the racetrack.
[2299.28 --> 2301.60] If I flip this brick, I'll lose a line.
[2302.12 --> 2308.40] So much of what we focus on is what we feed and then what we see.
[2309.04 --> 2314.60] This is at the heart of why it's so important to be aware of the thoughts behind the thinker.
[2315.46 --> 2316.86] Because of the importance, right?
[2316.86 --> 2319.68] The more you think of something, the more it's going to appear in your life, whether
[2319.68 --> 2325.54] it was always there or it's suddenly there because you're now having this thought pattern.
[2326.26 --> 2332.68] And so one other thing that I want to talk about in terms of what we can do differently
[2332.68 --> 2335.60] is using the best friend test.
[2335.82 --> 2336.22] Yeah.
[2336.74 --> 2342.86] Is going, if I have this thought, would I say this to my friend?
[2342.86 --> 2344.22] For example, with the should.
[2344.60 --> 2345.92] Well, you should be doing that.
[2345.92 --> 2347.08] You should get A's.
[2347.24 --> 2350.06] You shouldn't have any trouble doing that coding.
[2350.82 --> 2353.32] Would I say the same thing to my friend?
[2353.88 --> 2354.08] Yeah.
[2354.74 --> 2355.56] Probably not.
[2356.20 --> 2356.52] Exactly.
[2356.52 --> 2359.58] I guess that's when you say probably not is like, is when it's.
[2360.46 --> 2360.94] Problematic.
[2361.12 --> 2361.34] Yeah.
