Sit & Talk: The Blinking Line


Listen Later

We use the “blinking cursor on a blank page” to show how our days get written and why we keep copy-pasting yesterday’s stress into today. We break down how thoughts drive emotions, emotions drive actions, and how taking ownership of your response changes the story you’re building. 

• the blinking line as a daily clean slate and a choice point 
• copy and pasting frustration, sadness, and anger from yesterday into today 
• thoughts shaping emotions, emotions driving actions, actions creating outcomes 
• how we give other people and circumstances the “pen” without noticing 
• reacting vs choosing, and why “they made me mad” gives away control 
• controlling your response when you can’t control events 
• writing the day on purpose instead of drifting 
• small intentional choices compounding into the story of a life 

Thank you, VTU, for joining us on Sit and Talk. I look forward to seeing you right here next time on Sit.
