0:00.0	Clyde Lee Dennis here, and today in our seven good minutes.
0:04.9	Extra segment, I'd like to linger on that thought.
0:08.2	Negativity loses its power the moment you respond with conscious choice rather than reflexive emotion.
0:14.8	Every negative impulse invites an almost automatic reaction.

0:23.5	Those reflexes feel irresistible because they're fast and familiar.
0:27.8	Yet between stimulus and response lies a sliver of freedom.
0:33.2	The space where conscious choice lives.
0:36.5	The instant you recognize that space, you tip the scales. You

0:47.5	resentment. Your conscious choice could be a calming breath and a clarifying question. If traffic

0:56.3	Your conscious choice could be gratitude for the podcast. You finally have time to hear.
1:01.6	Here's a gentle question to carry with you. In what recurring situation could I pause for just
1:06.7	three seconds, breathe, and choose a different response this week, and an affirmation for your
1:12.6	day. I have the power to pause, choose, and create a kinder outcome. Until next time, I'm Clyde Lee
1:20.3	Dennis, and this has been seven good minutes, extra.
