| 0:00.0 | The average person has hundreds, if not thousands of thoughts a day. |
| 0:05.0 | You know, constantly our mind is being bombarded with thoughts, and the problem for most of us is we think they're true. |
| 0:11.0 | Things like, I'm such an idiot, I'm so stupid, I can't believe I did that. |
| 0:16.0 | No one's ever going to love me. No one's ever going to marry me. |
| 0:20.0 | Why can't I stop thinking like this? |
| 0:22.4 | I wish I could have more positive thoughts. Why does this always keep happening to me? Oh, |
| 0:27.0 | this is never going to change. These negative thoughts keep bombarding us. But you know what? What most of |
