0:00.0	Why am I feeling this? When did I first feel this? What does this part of me want? What's
0:05.8	its need? By tapping into what we really want and need in a certain moment, it can lead
0:13.3	us to a place of happiness and peace.
0:24.4	Welcome to The One You Feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance
0:29.2	of the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think,
0:35.2	ring true, and yet for many of us our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward

1:58.2	how to build a better life, but very few of them are as enjoyable, wise, and often funny
2:04.4	as this one is. So listen to Bean Well wherever you get your podcasts.
