You never want to be at the mercy of what other people think you are because there's going to be good and there's going to be bad.

And if you get stuck in the bad, then you're going to feel really shit about yourself.

You want to be the standard.

And the beauty about setting the standard of what your worth is, that A, you're less likely to have the shitty people come into your life.

And B, you're more likely to bring into people that are going to match that standard or in some cases go above and beyond.

Because they adore you so much.

So that's like win, win, win, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

So we're going to be talking about how you can feel worthy, things that are going to help you increase your self-love by increasing your self-worth.

Okay, we're going to get straight into the brain fact of today.

The brain fact of today is going to be around something called REM sleep disorder and also what happens in REM sleep disorder, which is a lack of muscle atonia.

Okay, so this REM sleep behavior disorder is called RBD.

But REM stands for rapid eye movement, which is a phase of, it's one of your sleep phases, where obviously if someone has their eyes closed, you can see rapid eye movement underneath their eyelids.

It's part of, it's an important part of your sleep, many cycles of sleep.

So you've got your rapid eye movement, that's the R, and then sleep behavior disorder, BD.

I don't know why that isn't an S there, but it's RBD.

And it's basically a sleep disorder which is characterized by the absence of normal muscle atonia, which is a paralysis during REM sleep.

Normally when we get into this phase of our sleep, that's where you've got all these vivid active dreams that are going on.

And your body...

undergoes this kind of muscle paralysis in a way, and that prevents people from physically acting out their dreams.

Obviously, we all move in our sleep, but the actual acting out of our dreams, and obviously there are people that will act out their dreams, and that's because they're not getting adequate muscle atonia.
