You Can’t Find What You’re Not Looking For-Ep.176

In this episode, Candy, the host introduces a thought-provoking saying, "You can't find what you're not looking for." She encourages listeners to leverage their brain's natural problem-solving tendency. She suggests a daily contemplation exercise for a week. By answering three questions—What is my biggest concern? What is my biggest obstacle? What is my biggest opportunity? listeners engage their brain's Reticular Activating System, enhancing focus and problem-solving capabilities, ultimately preparing them to seek help or find solutions.

Highlights:

1. Our mind has an amazing ability to solve problems – let’s leverage it actively directing it toward specific goals.

2. The concept of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) is explained, illustrating how it filters and highlights important information, analogous to noticing "red cars" after contemplating buying one.

3. Listeners are encouraged to dedicate three minutes daily for a week to contemplate and answer three questions, signaling to the brain the importance of these aspects and triggering problem-solving mechanisms.

4. The episode concludes with a summary, underlining the potential progress and preparedness gained by engaging in the contemplative exercise, aligning with the episode's opening quote, "You can't find what you're not looking for."
