Welcome to Let it be easy with Susie Moore. I want to share a little story today that's proof that the reticular activating system in the brain works.

This surprised me actually yesterday morning.

So the reticular activating system in the brain... Actually, yesterday morning.

So the reticular activating system in the brain, what it basically does is it shows you whatever it is that you're thinking about.

So just say you want to get a certain haircut, you'll notice

women everywhere with that haircut, or if you wanted to get a new type of car, or if you wanted to purchase

you, in order to allow in everything that I want to be do and have

And this funny little thing happened yesterday which felt like a bit of a wink towards this as a reminder of, oh, be careful, notice what it is you're putting in your brain.

So this is exciting.

Heath and I just booked a trip to Japan in November.

The last time you were there was 2016.

Eight years ago?
