Short motivational monologue (YouTube video) explaining how to shift emotional state from suffering to gratitude. The speaker uses a TV-channel metaphor to show that changing one’s body and focus switches the “channel” of thought; recommends identifying patterns of worry/anger, interrupting them early, and deliberately cultivating appreciation, love, and joy because gratitude and appreciation cannot coexist with anger or fear.
Thoughts are invisible waves. When you turn on a tv, it takes invisible waves. And depending on the channel, you're going to see a love story or an adventure or a drama or a comedy or a horror. The way you use your body determines which of those thought waves come through you. One moment you're pissed off, the next moment, somebody makes you laugh. You change your body, you change the channel. You change what comes through you. So what I've tried to do in this area is simple. First, identify where you're suffering. Are you a worrier? Are you a pissed off person? Second of all, decide you're going to kill that monster while it's little. You're not going to wait until it's Godzilla taking the city. You're going to break the pattern. You start to feel the stress. You see it as thoughts going by. And then you focus on something to appreciate, enjoy, or love. Appreciation, love and joy destroy suffering. You can't be grateful and angry simultaneously. It's possible. You can't be worried and fearful and grateful simultaneously. So I tell people gratitude is one of the emotions to cultivate that will destroy the suffering.
