| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. |
| 0:07.0 | Negative thoughts, negative thinking. They can be so damaging to our well-being, to our sense of self, to our |
| 0:16.8 | happiness. Where do they come from and how do we change them? That's going to be the focus of this podcast. |
| 0:25.0 | I don't know if you've ever been to an antique car show or know anyone who has an old car, |
| 0:31.0 | but in the past the cars used to have radios in them and what you |
| 0:35.4 | did is you turn this dial to tune into the specific station that you want to find. Now because |
| 0:41.3 | of pre-programming most of us when we get into our cars, if we even listen to the radio, it's pre-programmed into our car. |
| 0:48.0 | However, when we travel, and if we didn't bring our player with us, we sometimes have to find stations and the way we do that is |
| 0:55.2 | repress a button and wait until the next station shows up. And I'm using this analogy because |

| 1:21.5 | very harsh and critical of other people. |
| 1:24.4 | And in many ways reflecting what they're feeling inside. |
| 1:27.6 | The question we have to ask ourselves is, are they angry so they're attracted |
| 1:32.1 | towards their music or is the music adding to their anger. |
| 1:35.0 | Or let's go to the opposite extreme. Let's say we go to a beautiful spa or a retreat center that's centered on relaxation and peace. |
| 1:45.0 | The type of music that we're going to find there is going to be beautiful, peaceful, calming, and tranquil. |
| 1:52.0 | And so people tending to visit spas or meditation retreats tend to be in a more calm, peaceful |
| 1:58.2 | place. |
| 1:59.2 | But again, the question to ask ourselves is, does the music affect them or they attracted to the |
