Red bubbles are disempowering, negative, automatic, destructive. So it'd be disempowering, could be negative or destructive thoughts. And we all have them, right? Because we've seen stuff on TV. We've read stuff. We've experienced stuff. We've witnessed stuff. So those thoughts are in our memory bank. But we also have positive stuff.

Now, first thing, we have about 6,200 thoughts a day, new research. Not 50,000, not 75,000, about 6,200 during our waking hours. Now, our brain remembers a negative, disempowering experience that we've read about, seen, watched, whatever, 10 times faster than it does a positive one. 10 times faster. So the memory is created faster around something negative and traumatic, for example.

Traumatic is actually 1,000 times faster. So it's in the memory bank. And just like earlier I shared that behaviors have a trigger, so do thoughts. So let's say we want to achieve something. When we say, I want to achieve this. I want to make more money. I want to be in a better relationship. I want to start a business. I want to write a book. I want to travel the world.

I want to leave my job and get a new one. We get excited because we activate the reward center, the feel good possibility network. Oh my God, that would be so great. But then right beneath that, The Frankenstein's monster goes, hey, hey, hey, let me share with you what's in this little bubble machine. OK, that could be the negative thoughts around this.

And it starts to percolate all these negative thoughts. So imagine that thoughts are just effervescent bubbles, positive or negative, empowering, disappointing, constructive or destructive. But they're just thoughts. What if you could just be aware of the red, negative, disempowering thoughts and just observe them and go, keep going? And what if you can just say, I'm choosing.

Now I'm going to be in a state of mindful awareness. I'm going to choose what I want to focus on. Now, you and I have thoughts, but we're not our thoughts, right? But the thoughts that we grab onto and emotionalize and follow through on become dominant thoughts. Most people's thoughts are 70, 80, in some cases, 90% or more negative, disempowering, destructive because of their childhood.

Now, if you've been in the self-help world where you read positive stuff, you're around positive people, you've seen people overcome health issues, financial issues, business issues, relationship issues, whatever it is, you see that, then those possibility thoughts are there too. But negative and positive are always there.
