| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Words and labels are so powerful. |
| 0:15.0 | What we say to ourselves throughout the day really matters. |
| 0:19.0 | Let me use an example to illustrate this point. |
| 0:22.0 | For most of us, at some point in our lives, we're going to lose this point. For most of us at some point in our lives we're going to lose our |
| 0:24.6 | parents and it can be very tragic when that happens particularly if we were close to our parents. |
| 0:29.6 | I think a common emotion that comes from losing a parent is sadness. We can't talk to our parents |
| 0:34.9 | anymore. We can't call them up. We can't go visit them. We won't see them for Mother's Day or |

| 1:12.4 | I'm not doing well. Is this going to last forever? I think there's |
| 1:16.1 | something wrong with me. And sadly, hearing those words in their head is going to |
| 1:20.6 | feed that depression. They're going to probably stay sad because they're |
| 1:24.3 | seeing themselves now as a depressed person. If that one doesn't quite resonate with |
| 1:29.2 | you, try this one. A lot of women, when they get pregnant, they put on some weight. It's fairly normal. |
| 1:35.0 | But then for some women after they have their baby, they get out and start exercising right |
| 1:40.0 | away to get that weight off and sometimes within three to six months it's gone and |
