For every negative thought that you find yourself like latching onto, stop, replace it with three positive thoughts.

Now you start to tilt the ratio, you know, in your favor.

So you have way fewer, what we call our automatic negative thoughts.

You replace them with automatic positive thoughts.

Automatic negative emotion, ANAPTS is what we call the first one.

AN is what we call automatic negative emotions.

Emotions are triggered in the subconscious mind to give rise to feelings.

So if I have an automatic negative emotion or feeling, what does a Hollywood actor or actress do when they say to them, okay, scene two, take one.

I want you to be angry in this role.

And the actor actually goes, what do you mean I can't go over there today?

I want to go over there today.

And they say, okay, act two, scene two, be super happy about it.

I said, wow, I get to go there today.

I'm so freaking happy.

What about act two, scene three?

Be really, really sad.

I can't believe I've got to go there today.

You can flip emotions on demand.

It's just turning on a state.

in your brain.
