A taxi ride shows how obsessing over what you don't want actually pulls you toward it. Your nervous system responds to the negative focus, flooding your body with stress. The fix: stop describing the problem and start describing where you actually want to go.
Imagine getting in a taxi saying, "Hey, dog, don't take me to the mall. I hate the mall. I hate the mall, man. It's too many people down there. Kids, teenagers up there wearing jackets and ski masks and shit. It's 90 degrees outside. Your ass got on the ski. I hate the mall. You know what's wrong with this generation, bro? Where do you want to go? That's what a lot of people doing to their nervous system. That's what a lot of people doing to their endocrine system. They filling their nervous system with where they don't want to go. Stop doing that to yourself."
