What are our daily on purpose intentional acts that aren't based on survival, but are based on our choice to do and act a certain way to lead our lives? What are those daily practices that we can begin doing? to have ease even in the act of being intentional because that is an odd place to be if you've just been reacting to coding your whole life.

You mean correctly.

You mean correctly.

Damn, Alexelle. You talked a little bit, Alex, earlier about self-soothing. Can we talk a little bit more about that? Because it's so fascinating to me.

And rocking yourself. We view self-soothing as for some reason, it's this thing that is appropriate for the first two years of life. And then miraculously it's not appropriate anymore as opposed to an absolutely vital tool to have for all of life.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

So the question becomes, what are your self-soothing strategies? Yes. And if your answer to that is, is I don't know or I don't have them, your actual true answer is you are having unhealthy self-soothing strategies. Because if you don't know what they are, then you're the asshole at the meeting. No, no, no, no. They exist. Everyone has them. It's not a question of do you have them or do you not?

It's are you aware of your self soothing strategies. And if you're not aware of what they are, you might want to, again, Alex L says, be intentional about choosing some that will work for you instead of defaulting to the ones you're no doubt already using. Because I don't know what mine are. So that definitely means it's probably working too much. It's probably being snarky and mean.
