0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Being Well. I'm Forest Hanson. If you're new to the podcast, this
0:12.2	is where we explore the practical science of lasting well-being. And if you've
0:16.3	listened before, welcome back. Today, we're continuing the topic we started
0:20.7	last week with our episode on Getting Unstuck by focusing this week on some of the
0:26.0	common views, beliefs, and patterns of thought. People have that tend to hold
0:31.3	them back. These are often referred to as limiting beliefs. And today, we're
0:35.5	going to be exploring some of the big categories of limiting beliefs. And what
0:39.2	we can do to push back on those problematic beliefs and build more supportive
0:43.9	ones. To help us do that, I'm joined as usual by Dr. Rick Hanson. So dad, how are

1:01.7	people. And he wakes up and he's been tied to the ground by thousands of
1:07.5	little threads. Each thread individually is too weak to hold them in place, but
1:13.6	all of them together really limit him. And I think about a lot of the limiting
1:19.0	beliefs as sort of some of them are like chain cables, really, really hold us
1:23.7	in place. But a lot of them are these small little niggling self doubts, or
1:29.8	reasons, or assumptions, or expectations that murmur in the back of the
1:35.2	mind that constrain us like a web or net made of thousands of little threads.
1:42.0	I did not see a Gulliver's travels reference coming in the beginning of the
1:46.7	episode. So that was great. That took me by surprise. I think it's actually a
1:50.5	great analogy way to kind of come up with that one on your feet there, dad.
