0:00.0	Hello, friends, and welcome to the Liz Moody podcast, where every week we're sharing real science,
0:04.8	real stories, and realistic tools that actually level up every part of your life.
0:09.1	I'm your host, Liz Moody, and I am a best-selling author and longtime journalist.
0:12.8	Today, I'm going to be sharing some mindset shifts.
0:16.1	Science-backed ways to overcome the thoughts that are keeping you from creating the life of your dreams.
0:21.8	I asked you over on Instagram to share some of the thoughts and negative beliefs that are standing
0:25.6	in your way and you sent literally thousands in, but there was a ton of overlap. So these are the

1:12.3	other people noticed it. The people who wore the shirt overestimated by a very large margin,
1:18.7	how much other people even noticed, much less cared about the embarrassing shirt that they were
1:23.9	wearing. This led to what researchers coined to be called the spotlight effect,
1:29.8	essentially the mistaken belief that other people notice or care about us much more than they
1:34.9	actually do. By the way, this proved true on the positive side as well. The same researchers had
1:40.4	students wear a really cool shirt, and no one noticed or cared about that either.
1:45.2	There has been so much research confirming that by and large, people do not care about us
1:51.4	nearly as much as we think they do. And this is because they are too busy thinking about
