| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism |
| 0:13.8 | and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. And now here's your |
| 0:19.3 | host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star and master coach, Carla Lohan-Thyle. |
| 0:31.4 | Hello my chickens, how are you? I am amazing. I always say that because it's always true. But here's |
| 0:41.2 | why it's always true. I was just coaching one of my clients about this last week and I was saying |
| 0:47.0 | her that our evaluation of our own mental or emotional state is an optional thought. How we choose |
| 0:57.1 | to categorize or characterize or describe our own mental and emotional state. That description |
| 1:05.8 | is not objective, it's not a circumstance, it's an optional thought. So I might have a day filled |
| 1:13.0 | with negative thoughts and emotions. But during the day and at the end of the day I can choose whether |

| 1:52.2 | or become more resilient or just because you know the way I think about it is like any day that I'm |
| 1:57.4 | alive. I have decided to think is awesome because it's part of the human experience and I'm all |
| 2:04.2 | in on the human experience even when it sucks. This is what's so different, right? This is not like |
| 2:10.4 | spiritual bypassing or pretending life always feels awesome. Know what I'm saying is sometimes life |
| 2:16.2 | feels terrible. But I can still choose to believe that I am doing amazing because I am here having a |
| 2:23.2 | human experience part of which is supposed to feel terrible. I can decide to describe that reality |
| 2:29.6 | that I'm a human having negative thoughts and feelings as being awesome rather than as being terrible. |
| 2:36.6 | It's just good to know we have that option, right? We get to decide. So as some of you know, |
