0:00.0	whether it's the dopaminergic squirt that comes from a Facebook like, or the dopaminergic
0:05.6	squirt that comes from shopping or from drugs and alcohol, we are a culture that practices
0:11.2	avoidance of pain constantly.
0:22.0	Welcome to the One You Feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of
0:27.2	the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true,
0:34.2	and yet for many of us our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend to add negativity,
0:40.2	self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do. We think things that

1:51.2	clinical depression, so can you. What I've learned through experience is that what we know is not as
1:56.7	important as what we do consistently. And bridging this gap is the key to feeling fulfilled at a deeper
2:02.8	level. Bridging this gap is the foundation of the spiritual habits program, a non-religious
2:08.1	mentorship and accountability experience to establish simple daily practices that help you to
2:13.6	be more present, compassionate, and connected in your relationships and life. Over eight weeks
