In this episode, Cheryl and Dr. Paul discuss: What is metacognition?  Driving your thoughts  Changing the way you evaluate  Your ability to choose happiness Key Takeaways: Metacognition is a fancy word that means thinking about what you're thinking, creating awareness in your thoughts.  Either you drive your thoughts or your thoughts are gonna drive you. That's why we want to live on purpose. We can build the life we want from a life of conscious awareness.  You are always right about what you feel. When you compare what is to something better than what it is, you'll feel worse about what it is. When you compare what it is to something worse, you'll feel better.  If you can make a mess, you can make it. If you can create for yourself a miserable life through your thoughts, that's good news because that means you're capable of doing the opposite as well.   "Metacognition creates a space. In that space is where choice exists and until you see it as a choice, it's not."  —  Dr. Paul Jenkins   Get Your Positivity Model Graphic FREE by clicking on this link: https://drpauljenkins.com/brilliance  Connect with Dr. Paul Jenkins: Website: https://www.drpauljenkins.com/  Email: [email protected]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiTdG02P4T9qa6gd3VKjbJA  Podcast: https://drpauljenkins.com/podcast/  Blog: http://drpauljenkins.com/blog/  Phone: +1 801-380-7981       Get in Touch with Cheryl: Website: www.cherylknows.com  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwvWKXBC6fKn1dLGY11hxIg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dynamiteproductionsinc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cherylknowlton/   Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
