Come on in. Don't let the cats out. Oh, I've got some kind of insect that's going to be plaguing me today. Stop plaguing me, insect. There's only room for one of us today. Come on in. We'll have a show. Let me make sure I can see all your comments. Whatever that little gnat thing is is going to be very, very annoying. Stop it being annoying, gnat. I'm going to have to get my salt gun and zap it. All right. You guys all good? I got comments. You don't? Perfect. That didn't work. Sort of worked. Close enough. Close enough. All right, everybody. Get ready. I'm ready if you're ready. Well, good morning and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, well, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid, like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. The day thing makes everything better. It's called that's right. Simultaneous. It happens now. Uh, I'm sipping like a Trump. Well, let's see what else is happening today. After we do a reframe from my book, reframe your brain, which is changing lives all over the place. You can get it on Amazon. And only Amazon, as it turns out.
Probably. All right. Here's one of my favorites. You could call it the shelf space reframe, or you could give it another name. But the usual frame is that if you have some negative thoughts, you want to stop thinking about them, right? Some of you, I've completely changed your life with this reframe. Some of you have heard it before. It just makes sense, right? If you have negative thoughts, the obvious solution for negative thoughts is think fewer negative thoughts. But it turns out that your brain doesn't work that way. If you try to think fewer negative thoughts, you're probably going to think more of them, not less of them, because then you're obsessing on it. So here's the other way to approach it.
This is the reframe. Instead of trying to stop thinking about negative thoughts... You can't subtract negative thoughts, but you can crowd them out. That's what the shelf space is all about. If I told you, hey, I'm going to make you think about your favorite thing all day. You're going to think about petting cats and eating delicious food and having great intimate relationships with people you love. And let's just say I got right into your business and just made you think about all those things. There are only so many hours in a day. If I make you use some of the hours to think about things you love, there'll be fewer hours left for negative stuff. So don't try to unthink. You can't do it. Don't try to think less of a thing.
You can't do it. Try to think more of things. You can do that. Think more of things that are positive, more of things that you want, more of things you've enjoyed, more of things that inspire you, more of things that you just love. and you will crowd out that time you wasted with negative thoughts. That's your reframe for the day. All right, let's talk about the news. You might have heard that the government has reopened. So what the hell was that? Hold on. The fly has landed. We're going to try. No, that didn't work. We're going to be trying some anti-fly. Oh, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. damn it i'm not as fast as a fly what was i thinking so the government it really is going to be in my face the entire show wow wow um government reopened nobody cared we all sort of expected it would go the way it went and here it is now it's open and
What did we learn? Nothing. But the best lesson that came out of this, I think, came from Greg Gutfeld, who's saying it on The Five, that if you happen to be on what you consider the winning side of the government reopening, and the Republicans probably think they're on the winning side there, it's a mistake to say the other side caved.
