0:00.0	Overthinking isn't a thinking problem.
0:02.7	The main problem is that we're over believing the consistent thoughts that we have and what those consistent thoughts are.
0:09.5	And this is what we want to get away from.
0:11.3	Thoughts are always going to come in.
0:12.7	They're always going to be menaces.
0:14.3	But it's what we give our attention to and what we give action to that is going to take our energy.
0:27.4	Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie because there's always
0:31.0	time to fit in inspiration. Last week, I dropped a podcast all about how to compartmentalize

1:30.2	So compartmentalizing is potentially one of the greatest superpowers that you will ever learn.
1:37.3	But before I go into the next step of this, because it's nice to talk about it.
1:41.2	I'm glad that I was able to give you the tools, but now I want to give you the deeper layer of the tools for when these don't necessarily work or stick, because
1:50.6	you can know the compartments, but there's a whole other level and layer that goes into actually
1:56.3	making this a habit and actually making this an identity and a part of you. But before I share
