When you think about it, every single thing starts with a thought, you know, if you look around the room you're in, someone's thought of building a thing, thought of, you know, creating the clothes that you're wearing, the table that you have your computer on, or you know, the phone that you're holding anywhere you're watching this, you know, you look around the couch to pillows, anything around you that started with an idea, right, in idea, his thoughts. So I like to think of this cycle where as our thoughts are first, and if you think of thought long enough, is going to start to create a feeling inside of you. And depending on how you feel is how you're going to act or behave. And it's this cycle that we all do all day, every day, and it's not good or bad. It's just what it is. So for example, maybe you have plans for the weekend.

And the more you think about that you start to feel excited and now that you're a little bit more exciting, like extra nice, you know, around work or school right around the house. Or the opposite. Maybe you, you know, minding your business and you hear a song on the radio. And this song reminds you of a time that I don't know, it just wasn't a good time. So this song kind of triggers these thoughts of these memories. And the more you think about it, any more upset you get.

And either you're more upset, you start not to, you know, be rude or isolate yourself or whatever. So is this cycle that we all go through all day, every day, with anxiety, anxiety, always, always, always means your thoughts are focused on the future. The future could be two minutes from now, the point is, it hasn't happened yet. Right? So it's a lot of thoughts of what if, you know, how many times have you been at home and you're really nervous about something you're doing? Like, oh my gosh, what if this happened?

What if that and especially public speaking is a perfect example, you know, get all worked up and nervous and you're like, Oh, my gosh, I go up there and I forget what I'm going to say I'm going to start improving or laugh at me and, and it's just like, Oh, my gosh, you didn't know When you leave your house yet, and here you are imagining worst case scenario. So that's always classic anxiety. You are so focused on the future on things that haven't even happened yet. So you're almost imagining, you know, your create using your imagination to create something that you don't want. And fly with depression is actually the opposite. Most of our thoughts are focused on the past, replaying things who I did, I should have.

Why did I do this? Why do I say that or really remembering events that happened things that were said. So it's really past thinking
