I felt more at peace.

I'd be more patient.

I'd be more myself, which sounded great.

So in just four questions in about a minute, two minutes, I determined one, this thing I was sure was a fact.

And this is a pretty mundane example that I think a lot of people can relate with, but I've seen people who are struggling with trauma, who are struggling with all kinds of things in their life.

And just with these four questions, they realized, number one, I'm not 100% sure it's a fact.

It couldn't just be a belief.

Number two, that not having that belief might actually serve me.

And number three, that holding onto the belief wasn't making me better.

It was a drag.

It was causing suffering in my life, this belief.

So now it's time for the turnaround.

Turnaround asks you to do something that your brain hates.

And everybody, I've never met someone who doesn't have some friction here.

And so if you try this, anticipate it.

Just we talked about how you have to plan ahead for that discomfort, plan for the pain.

Plan for the pain because

Your brain hates changing its mind.

Let me say that again.

Your brain hates changing its mind.
