It's not this like negative cycle that's feeding itself.

You actually feel a bit happier.

You feel more empowered.

But then the other good thing is that the thing that was the association for the phone or whatever is going to start to become an association for that positive habit.

Okay.

So before when you think alarm clock equals snooze equals 10 more minutes of broken shitty sleep, anyway, you're going to think alarm clock equals creatine in the glass of water.

Right.

So it's, it's, it's things like that.

You know, you're going to think, oh me, you know, if I get a notification on my phone, that's the text message.
