Hi, it's Andy here, and welcome to Radio Headspace, and to Tuesday.

I don't know how you are in your mind, how the people around you, in your mind if you

have heard of the phrase authorizer, someone who takes an idea of what could be how things

might work out and makes the very worst of it.

Although none of it has happened yet, in their mind they automatically go to a place of

negativity.

I was with someone the other day who has a tendency to sort of do this.

They know themselves as well, by the way, this won't be news to them.

But it was interesting to kind of see how that plays out.

So automatically the mind has just become a custom, there is a pattern there of just

going to the worst possible scenario without being willing to even see, how is it going

to work out?

And it reminded me of a, I was going to say a mantra, it's not a mantra in the technical

sense, a meditation sense, more just sort of a way in which one of my teachers used

to live his life.

I would describe it as a let's see life, and I never really appreciated it at the time.

Whenever something difficult would happen, he would actually say, well, okay, let's see.

At the time, you know, I would struggle with that, I'd be like, yeah, but we'd need

to do something.

But actually, interestingly, the more time I spent with him and the more I watched this

kind of pattern unfold, it was interesting almost inevitably in saying let's see and giving

it some space and giving it some time.
