0:00.0	So many of us don't live life. Life lives us, and I think it's up to us to really live
0:04.4	consciously. This is why mindfulness is so important.
0:15.0	Welcome to the one you feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance
0:20.1	of the thoughts we have. Quotes like
0:22.4	Garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true. And yet, for many of us, our thoughts
0:29.3	don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we
0:37.0	don't have instead of what we do.
0:39.3	We think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit.
0:42.6	But it's not just about thinking.

0:46.2	It takes conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living.

1:09.6	I have a real tendency to overcomplicate things.
1:12.7	And choosing love over fear is how Prince EA, the poet, filmmaker, and creator whose spoken
1:18.5	word videos have reached billions, sees the world. Not as something happening to us, but something
1:24.9	we're invited to live consciously. We talk about what it means to stay awake inside the 35,000 or so decisions we make each day,
1:33.3	and how mindfulness isn't meditation on a cushion, it's remembering to be here for a single breath,
1:38.3	a single cup of coffee, a single kindness, because the little things aren't little. They happen to be exactly where our lives actually happen.
1:48.3	I'm Eric Zimmer and this is the one you feed.
1:51.7	Hi, Prince. Welcome to the show.
