In this episode, Dr. Marbas interviews Dr. Dayna Lee Baggley who is the CEO of DLBA and a Registered Psychologist. Dr. Baggley explores the significance of acknowledging our thoughts and feelings without allowing them to control our actions and decision-making. She uses the analogy of being a bus driver with passengers representing our thoughts and feelings. These passengers can be demanding and bothersome, dictating our direction. They may include anxious or angry thoughts that can lead us astray. However, attempting to ignore or suppress these thoughts and feelings often amplifies them.

Instead, Dr. Baggley suggests developing a relationship with our thoughts and feelings where we acknowledge them but don't let them take the wheel. She emphasizes that our survival mind, which generates these automatic thoughts, doesn't typically guide us toward behavior aligned with our values. Instead, it often leads us towards short-term solutions that may not be beneficial in the long run.

To counteract this, Dr. Baggley recommends evaluating whether a thought or feeling will move us closer to or further away from what truly matters to us. If it will move us away, She introduces the concept of diffusion, which involves disengaging from these thoughts and not allowing them to take control. They explain that we don't need to convince ourselves that these thoughts are false, but rather convince ourselves that they won't lead us towards what matters.

Overall, the episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate our actions and decision-making. By practicing diffusion and not allowing these thoughts to take over, we can focus on what truly matters to us and make choices that align with our values.
