Welcome Series - EP #1 - Where to start

In this episode I talk about the first step of mind management. Life presents us with neutral circumstances, but our brains interpret and respond to these events, thereby creating our emotions. Your feelings, which stem from your thoughts, guide your actions, and the results you're experiencing depends on these actions.

I talk about the power of thoughts in shaping your perceptions and emotions using the example of rain and sunny weather to illustrate how different people can have different reactions to the same circumstances. Your thoughts, rather than the external environment, determine your emotions and behaviors. 

Understanding this can help you manage and improve your emotional resilience. 

I discuss the workings of the human brain, emphasizing the role of the primal brain which is designed for survival and often negative, and the higher brain or prefrontal cortex which provides the best advice for achieving personal goals. I explain that negative thoughts are a normal part of the human experience and should be treated as opinions, not facts. 

They're some practices that I would encourage you start doing - starting with recognizing and questioning negative thoughts and to actively listen to others' conversations as a way to manage their own negative thoughts.
