Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, what's good? Fam Zaden Cruz. Here, your friendly neighborhood
brain whisperer back with another dose of reality that'll either
make you want a high five yourself or throw your
phone across the room. This week, we're diving into something
kind of woo woo but actually super powerful gratitude and
positive thinking. Before you roll your eyes harder than a
TikTok dance battle, hear me out. We're not talking about
(00:22):
forcing a smile when your life is objectively a dumpster fire.
I get it. Sometimes the world feels like it's rigged
against us, the pressure to be perfect, the endless scroll
of insta glam and let's not forget student loan debt
that could make thanos weep. But guess what It all
starts in our heads. Like literally, your brain is a
software program running twenty four to seven, constantly analyzing and
(00:45):
interpreting everything. So if you're feeding it negativity, well brace
yourself for some serious existential dread. Here's the tea. Cultivating
gratitude and positive thinking isn't about being delusional or ignoring problems.
It's about shift your perspective, finding the silver linings even
in the stormiest of clouds. Think of it like this.
(01:06):
You wouldn't keep scrolling through a boring feed, right, You'd
unfollow that account faster than you can say influencer. Your
brain is the same way. Here are five things to remember. One,
fomo is for suckers. Seriously. Constantly comparing yourself to others
online is like staring into the abyss of endless inadequacy.
Focus on your own journey. Celebrate your wins and learn
(01:28):
from your losses. Remember everyone's playing a different game. Two
Give thanks, fam I know, I know it sounds cheesy,
but even saying thank you for the small stuff can
make a big difference. A hot cup of coffee on
a gloomy morning boom, instant gratitude, A friend who listens
to your rant about that X double boom, pure gold. Three.
(01:49):
Your thoughts are powerful af You're not just thinking random thoughts.
You're actively shaping your reality. Catch yourself when you start
spiraling into negativity and reframe it with something positive instead
of Ugh, I'm so tired. Try I'm grateful for this
opportunity to rest and recharge. Four. Be kind to yourself always.
(02:09):
This is non negotiable. You're human, You make mistakes and
that's okay. Treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding
you would offer a friend going through a rough patch. Five,
Find your tribe. Surround yourself with people who lift you up,
inspire you, and celebrate your successes. Like ditch the toxic
drama queens and find your squad of genuine humans who
(02:30):
make you feel like you can conquer the world or
at least ace that next exam. Now, let's talk about
someone who embodies the power of positivity. Lizzo. This queen
isn't just dropping sick beats. She's preaching self love, body positivity,
and living life on her own terms. She faced countless
rejections in the music industry before hitting it big, but
(02:51):
did she let that stop her. Nope, She channeled those
experiences into fuel, reminding us all to embrace our flaws
and celebrate our unique beauty. That's real talk, fam. Remember
that time Lizzo got roasted on Twitter for her weight.
Instead of getting defensive, she clapped back with a fierce
message about body positivity and self acceptance. She owned her curves,
(03:12):
danced like nobody was watching, which is always iconic, and
proved that true confidence comes from within. Lizzo's story isn't
just about music. It's about resilience, embracing your individuality, and
never letting negativity dim your light. She's living proof that
gratitude and a positive mindset can help you overcome obstacles
and achieve your dreams. Look, I get it, it's not
(03:34):
always easy to stay positive, especially when the world feels
like it's constantly throwing curveballs our way. But remember, you
have the power to choose your thoughts, and those choices
shape your reality. So go out there and own your awesomeness,
be grateful for the good stuff, celebrate your wins, and
never underestimate the power of a positive mindset. You got this,
(03:55):
