Episode 3 Quotable moments:

41:16: “So sometimes when we're getting pulled into the desire to do something unconsciously, it's from a place of fear or you know, safety or just like mindlessness.”

43:44: “We can learn to, to create a specific state, at will and recall it. Any state is always accessible to us. Joy, happiness, satisfaction, gratitude, they're all right there. So why not in that moment of despair, which is often what it is, why people reach for food or reach for something to change their state, why not just call it back?”

48:03: “One of the flips I made with pain is like, pain is, it's just like cold pain is just information. Like, is it painful or is it just information? It's like, yeah, I can, I can just sit with this and realize it's just my body telling me something. So, I want to create the association of this thing is bad or do I just wanna be like, no, I just feel something there. Not good or bad, it's just information.”

50:42: “I have this kind of theory or belief that people who are most, uh, happy in life, people who are most successful in life are the ones who are just willing to go and step into their fears.”
