Summary
Our brains are really good at noticing what we don't want, what's not right, and what we need to stop doing. But the things we focus on are the things we give energy, attention and power to. So if you have a habit you are trying to change, try focusing on what you want to START doing instead of focusing on what you want to STOP doing. This is challenging to figure out in many cases which means it's no wonder we have a hard time changing course.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Jody Moore at Bold New Mom. This is Episode 124. Focus on starting, not stopping. |
| 0:10.8 | This is Bold New Mom, a podcast for women and some of my favorite men who know that the best |
| 0:15.9 | gift they can give their kids is a happy, healthy, thriving mother. If you're ready to be bold |
| 0:21.6 | and you're ready to be a new version of you, you're in the right place. |
| 0:25.6 | Hey everybody, welcome to Episode number 124. Today we're going to talk about focusing on what you |
| 0:33.4 | want to start doing instead of focusing on what you want to stop doing. This is one of my favorite |
| 0:40.9 | things to talk about. I'm excited to share it with you. First I want to share with you a review |
| 0:45.6 | by Honest Ma. The title of her review I love is I'm not Mormon but I am human. And she says |
| 0:54.5 | I didn't know this amazing woman was Mormon. Not that it matters either way but I just didn't |
| 0:59.6 | realize this at first. I know this might turn some people away and years ago it might have turned |
| 1:04.8 | me away. I might not have ever listened. But if you are human, you need to give this podcast a |
| 1:10.8 | chance. Episode 11 is a life saver. Seriously, it opened my eyes to a whole new world. Whether you're |
| 1:18.9 | single, married or divorced, you need to hear the message. I've been skipping around telling |
| 1:23.2 | myself that I'll listen to every podcast starting from Episode 1. But the new episodes are too good |
| 1:28.1 | to wait. I love every episode of Bold New Mom and I love that she shares the raw details of her |
| 1:33.2 | life and marriage and doesn't try to make her life sound like it's perfect. She's her authentic |
| 1:37.7 | self and it's refreshing. This is what I look for in the people I follow, the podcasts I listen to |
| 1:42.9 | and the way I hope to be. Thank you for being you. Thank you for staying true and thank you for |
| 1:47.6 | gently spreading the Mormon beliefs and traditions such as service. I'm a non-denominational Christian |
| 1:54.0 | mother of two, married and my perspective has been changed by Bold New Mom. I love that everything |
| 2:00.0 | everything comes back to the way we think. I had heard this a million times but hearing it on |
| 2:05.2 | this podcast gave me a new perspective of life and it is healing my heart, marriage, motherhood, |
