This episode is about noticing negative thought patterns when they\u2019re happening. What are negative thoughts? Bad habits. They\u2019re not You \u2013 they\u2019re the voice of a bad computer framework operating through you being fed by a chemical addition. You are now used to the chemical results of this thinking, so your brain wants to repeat it. They are the trained in ways of being \u2013 basically muscle memory but in your brain. So based on old experiences, just like a river wants to flow down the lowest path, so do your thoughts follow existing trained in currents. The more often you have these thoughts \u2013 the stronger the habit becomes. In other words, you have trained in the path of the river with repetition. As a result of that \u2013 you now perceive and look for this thought habit in your everyday life \u2013 like if you\u2019re thinking of mean people who hate you, you will see mean people who hate you. Because it\u2019s your mindset now. Plus, now that you are looking for this thing, you find it \u2013 so negative thinking becomes self-fulfilling. What is most important about all of this: it\u2019s all totally unconscious. The fact that they\u2019re unconscious is also the key to stopping these thoughts!
