Summary

How important is it to “Cancel” negative thoughts? Scientists say we have between 12,000 to 50,000 thoughts in a day, and our mind takes the negative approach to things 70% of the time. Globally speaking, since we must use our free will to connect to source or goodness, your mind, naturally, thinks about what you don’t have, what you can’t do. Not to get too scientific and I am in no way a biology expert, but I learned that the amygdala in the brain modulates the release of cortisol and other stress hormones, creating anxiety and fear. Anxiety is created by the unknown and other future-based factors, and is the usual cause of the cortisol release. Like a high-octane drink, cortisol gives us the energy jolt needed to overcome an emergency, but everything in life seemingly has become an emergency. Our brains now keep us on DEFCOM 5 alert with constant cortisol production resulting in serious health problems like high blood pressure and glucose levels. Even more damaging is the negative energy it attracts. Common sense tells us that chain drinking high-octane beverages will prove to be detrimental to our health. Similarly, we need to tell our brains to stop producing excessive levels of cortisol and start producing serotonin, which does all kinds of wonderful things for creativity, happiness and health. This is the scientific reason why we need to turn our thoughts around and make them positive and clear. This will reduce your anxiety and keep you open to learning. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:10.0	that you don't want. This is entrepreneurs to play with.
0:13.1	We have to think about the ideas that we have. I'm very, very disciplined about my ideas.
0:18.1	If I have a negative thought, I cancel it. If I have a negative belief, I clear my mind.
0:22.0	And if I have the wrong energy, I shift it, and I change my energy.
0:25.4	Because I don't want the content that I'm pushing out into the universe to come back to me
0:30.0	in attacking thoughts, shortages, voids, obstacles, fear, all of these other things,
0:35.7	that you don't want. So we have to know what content we have, and we're sharing.
0:40.3	Whenever I have a negative thought, or I find myself attacking someone else,
0:44.4	or having judgments, or myself even, let alone my mind says something I don't want to hear,
0:49.9	or someone says something about me. I don't want to hear. I just hit cancel. So at a conscious level,
0:54.0	I'm training my conscious to cancel anything negative. Because I don't want it.
0:57.6	Then if it keeps coming back, then I know it's part of the 40,000 of the same thoughts I have
1:02.1	in my subconscious. So now I breathe, and I'll just say clear. And I'll know,
1:06.0	see, cancel can cancel right away. Clear takes repetition, right? Because I can say clear,
1:10.8	and then I'll come back an hour later, you know, then I'll come back at night before I go to bed,
1:14.8	which is a normal time for your subconscious to start bothering you, or right when you wake up,
1:18.9	right? Which will exhaust you, right? Oh, you know, things grow arms and legs,
1:22.1	right before you go to bed when you wake up. Instead, I create an unwinding routine,
1:25.5	so I don't allow that to happen. But I use the word clear. So cancel the simple things,
