| 0:00.0 | All right, this is part two of a segment on obsession that I had on the last episode that occurred on February 3rd, 2019. |
| 0:12.0 | So if you haven't heard that episode, I suggest you listen to that one first because I'm starting this show |
| 0:18.3 | Getting right into the subject matter skipping the intro getting right to the point talking about |
| 0:24.2 | obsessing and over analyzing. I had a bunch of notes that I didn't get to and I could |
| 0:29.9 | have had a two hour or two and a half hour show back then. So I didn't want to drag that show on. I wanted to create a new episode that talked specifically about the rest of my notes on obsession. So if you haven't heard part one check that out it's called |
| 0:43.6 | making decisions that are right for you and tackling obsession and overthinking |
| 0:47.7 | once and for all that's the whole title making us making decisions that are right for |

That when that happens, you repeat it to yourself. obsession is futile I'm not saying that's going to resolve your obsession I'm not saying that that's going to take you out of it I'm saying that every little bite-sized morsel of information here is a seed that gets planted so that when the |
| 1:55.1 | storm comes, I said this in the last episode, when the storm comes, what's left growing |
