Review the podcast Transcript: Britt (00:00.436) Hello Dental A Team listeners, this is Britt and you're here for Britt taking over the book club podcast today. I'm super excited to be with you, privileged to get a chance to talk about our book for this month, spend a little time together, talk about it and hopefully learn a little bit from each other. So I'm a big book club fan. I love that it's just a chance for us to come together, talk about ideas, talk about things that are discussed in the book. And I love even hearing your feedback on the podcast on how it goes. Welcome to Book Club Podcasts. Let's get into it. This month, the book for Book Club is You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. Now, this is a book, she wrote it back in like mid 80s. So back around the time that self -help was kind of getting started, she was one of the first that kind of gained some popularity in the self -help realm. And this is one of her books that she started that out with. I love digging into these books. When it comes to self -help, I'm a big fan. One thing I love about it though is kind of reading through it. And when we read through these books, it's kind of like challenging ideas of what are they saying? Do I agree with it? And ultimately kind of like picking out what are the pieces that are helpful to you and like taking those pieces along the journey with you. So with this book, Louise talks about some good concepts in here. really a lot of it comes back to like we manifest what we think, right? So our brains are extremely powerful and they have a big impact on our life in a lot of different ways. And so throughout the book, she's kind of talking about how our minds can impact one, our health on some things, right? And it can also impact just kind of our happiness and our mental health. And I think there's some things that have been learned since she originally wrote this book, but I think some of the core principles within it stand true, even to this day. We know, right, in this day and age, we know stress can definitely impact our health, right? So the better we are at managing stress, the stronger we get mentally more resilient, then it's gonna help us to be healthier than if we let that stress ultimately impact us. So really a lot of those principles do ring true. Some of them might be a little extreme on her end, in my opinion. Britt (02:16.656) But there's a lot of good things to take away. Like I said, I love reading these types of books and kind of picking out the pieces that I agree with that I'm like, yep, that's something that I definitely, you know, can implement within my life or like something really good to think about. So let's hop through some of the really kind of big main points that I found super useful. You guys, if you've read the book, awesome, great job. Good job on reading it. If you haven't, that's okay. We'll give you a recap. You can decide if it's something you want to go and spend the time to read. I'm a big audiobook fan, so for those out there who love the audiobook, I'm with you. I like to listen to it. You can get a lot in and crank up that speed and listen to it pretty quickly. But we'll give you a little recap. We'll talk about some of the ideas, and then you can go dig in from there. One of the big principles from the beginning that she hops into is that really we're responsible for how we feel, right? Things happen in life. Things are gonna happen in life, but we get to choose how we respond to it. And that can really shape how we view the world, that can help to shape our happiness, and ultimately can impact our health. I think it kind of comes back to the principle of you find what you're looking for. Kind of that first thing of we manifest whatever we think, we find what we're looking for. If we're always looking and saying like, I'm just waiting for the next shoe to drop and waiting for the next shoe to drop, the next shoe is going to drop at some point. So where you focus your energy and especially that mental energy that's really powerful and strong. you know, is where we're gonna kind of manifest things and see those things come to life. So that's one principle that I really liked from this book is we manifest whatever we think. So look for the good, you're gonna find the good, right? Look for the bad, you're gonna find the bad. And also manifest whatever we think. If we see something as an opportunity, right? We view challenges as something like I can overcome this or I am strong. Those are...
