You know what? I think it's a great way
to kind of set the tone for the day does
it change it changes listen we've all
had time so you snapped at somebody and
you felt bad because it wasn't them it
was the state you're in right well
there's no excuse of that if you prime
yourself you set yourself up
they've been studies where they go to
people and they have men walk up to you
and say could you hold this for me hand
you a cup of coffee it's an actor and
they takes it 6mm his pocket then he
takes it back and says thank you hundred
people they do it with ice coffee how do
people do with hot coffee
45 minutes later another actor comes by
and says listen we're doing this little
test for five dollars would you read
this three paragraphs and answer three
questions
most people say yes it's a little story
the questions are about the character
what's the character like 80% of people
have got iced coffee say the person is
cold and mean 81 percent of the people
that got hot coffee say the person is
warm and gentle or nice that's how much
we can be primed by our environment we
think we're just stealing what we're
feeling but our environment if we don't
take control of our environment it takes
control of us
