0:00.0	Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. So I was talking with a friend recently about the
0:05.6	stories we tell ourselves that don't serve us in any way. Some examples. I'm not supported.
0:13.1	My spouse is thoughtless. People don't invite me. I don't fit in. My children are difficult. And on and on and on. Sometimes these beliefs have
0:24.7	been with us from our childhoods, but the fact is when we challenge these and start to turn them
0:30.6	around to something more positive, we will be happier. Our brains have what is called the
0:36.3	reticular activating system. As we process millions of
0:40.6	pieces of information each day, our brain will focus in on the things that are important for us.
0:46.7	So you might have a belief that you always get stuck at the red lights. And your brain will
0:52.2	show you the evidence of this. You'll always notice those red lights, even though they're probably just as many green lights. And your brain will show you the evidence of this. You'll always notice those red
0:55.4	lights, even though there are probably just as many green lights happening for you. So if you turn
1:00.7	these stories around and start to believe what's more positive, such as, my spouse is very
1:07.3	thoughtful, then your brain, your reticular activating system, will support that belief and try to find
1:13.4	evidence for that.
1:14.9	So a challenge for you, find those stories that you tell yourself and turn them around to
1:19.7	something that would be more positive and see what happens.
1:23.4	Make it a great week.
1:24.8	Take care.
1:38.2	Thanks for listening to the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast at www. www.
