Episode 2 Quotable moments:

16:51 “So we are the author, we're the editor, we're the producer of our own stories. And that narrative, that writing that happens is our self-talk, or what do we say to ourselves? And some research shows that we have about 66,000 independent thoughts in a day.”

17:11 “So if you think about our thoughts, they're constantly flowing like a river. Think about the undercurrent of our subconscious thoughts and 90% of how we think. It's subconscious. We're not aware of it. 10% of those thoughts are on the surface. So how do those thoughts manifest in our own conscious minds? Well, it's the self-taught piece, right?

17:30 “If we can understand how we talk to ourselves, and we understand that some studies show that 80% of our self-talk is negative, that becomes a self-fulfilling process. So you think about if I have negative self-talk, I'm essentially undermining everything that I do.”

19:45 “If you're aware of your thoughts, you then are more likely to then be able to change what your thoughts are.”

28:42 “But if you're intentionally repping out that self-talk, that again, moves things from the conscious to the subconscious, right? So now when I'm responding to situations where I don't have time to think, now I've changed the neural structure in terms of what my response and what my talk is, and that narrative will affect change. But the only way you can change those neural pathways is through deliberate practice.”
