I have breaking news that's kind of upsetting. John Rairdon on Blue Sky points out, brings up a, this is an Xbox marketing. There's a new image. And there's a revelation here. Das ist ein Paar von Xbox. Nein, ich kann das nicht beenden.

Yeah. Hopefully you can hear me okay now. I think the biggest issues were always the unhealthy behaviors that people resorted to in order to cope with stress. And oftentimes it was with self-medication, drinking more, smoking more, starting drinking, starting smoking. So it was unhealthy behaviors that people were

just trying to use to get things under control or to escape from those kinds of things. And I think that's what wound up really happening, or at least from a clinician perspective, those are usually the fallout that you had to deal with. But again, it wasn't always getting at the underlying condition, which Brandon was really very eloquently laying out all the issues

But again, it wasn't always getting at the underlying condition, which Brandon was really very eloquently laying out all the issues

And for me, what I've seen over time is this 24 hour, you know, seven days a week bombardment with things coming at us all the time, either on TV or, you know, social media. And it's sort of like the brain doesn't get a rest from stress. It's just constant all the time. And I think that that ultimately takes a bigger toll. And I'm assuming that Brandon is going to help us to

uh, learn a little bit more about the kind of things that we can do, uh, you know, to sort of help manage this because, you know, as Brandon, as you said, stress is a part of life and there's a positive side of stress. It gets us out of bed in the morning and, you know, doing all the things that we, that we need to do.

Uh, it's just that when it, uh, it gets a little, a little bit overwhelming, um, that sense, how do we deal with that? Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I think the whole idea of resilience, that people are a lot more resilient than they think they are. And I think following the ABC cubed model can help people to see that.

But it is this idea of having a balance between understanding that some negative things go on, but also focus on the positive things, especially like, you know, the gratitude, what went well in your day, instead of just, you know, the glass being half full, half empty, you know, kind of situation. I think that that's really the, the best way to go.

And I've always been impressed with actually the resilience of people when they can, you know, stop, take some deep breaths and then move forward. The other point that I really liked, Brandon, that you brought out is the idea that I'm putting it into this toolkit of things that people can use to cope and manage, you know, their stress a little bit better.

And the fact is that everybody is individual, it's subjective, And there's no one way. What works for Barry may not work for Clarence. What works for Brandon may not work for Stan. But the idea is to realize that there are all these resources and it's okay to try on some of them and see what's helpful and what's not helpful.

But there are a lot of resources out there and people should feel comfortable in giving it a try because stress is never gonna go away. Right. And it's how do we adapt to that and accept it that we're going to have stress in our lives. And so this is all, I think, very, very helpful. So thank you.
