And let's go ahead and dive into today's episode.

Whatever you tend to focus on in life, you will get more of.

Our brain is an extremely advanced tool, but it's also 2 million years old.

So if you know what it's going to do and you understand how it works, you can then hack your brain to help you be more successful.

Let me give you an example of what I mean. Our brain has something that they like to call the spotlight effect.

The spotlight effect is that your brain will focus on one thing and find everything else that's around it that proves it true.

So let me give you an example and the reason why this exists. If it was 50,000 years ago and we were walking down, you know, a path, and we saw a lion and a bush.

Our immediate thing to do would be look at that bush, see everything that's happening around it, try to figure out if there's other lions,

and get as many associations and as many things as we possibly can to get the information that we need to from it.

It's a spotlight effect. Our brain will go directly towards that lion, that bush, and think everything that it possibly can.

And this is why, this is a very useful tool, but this is why if you ever think about it, you can think about one negative thought,

and then you just go into a spiral of negative thoughts.
