> [!tldr] The thoughts that play through your head on repeat. The central concept in the book [[sources/Soundtracks|Soundtracks]] is the *soundtrack* - the thoughts that plays through your head on repeat. We all have them. Too many people's soundtracks are negative, leading to negative thoughts. People get stuck with negative soundtracks, and these erode our ability to live our best lives. Be aware of your soundtracks. What are you telling yourself over and over again in your head? - Is it true? - Is it helpful? - Is it kind? If's not all three of those things, it's worth trying to flip the soundtrack. If flipping the soundtrack doesn't work, you can try turning the volume down on it by finding [[Turndown Techniques]] that work for you. Some soundtracks I could cultivate: - I'm the luckiest person I know - I can't do everything, but I can do anything - I'm a fit person. - I'm a writer. I write. - My superpower is simplification. **** # More ## Source - [[Soundtracks]]
