So then he walks away, then anxious Brian shows up.
And he's like, yo, today when you were with Theo, you said that thing and you were a jackass to him, right?
It's like, thank you, anxious Brian.
Great self-awareness.
We're going to write that down.
We're going to hit Theo up tomorrow.
Make sure we're all good.
And they're like all the Brian's lineup.
So you'll see this, like whether you do this or something else, um, the way this manifests is if you don't do this, um,
you put your head on the pillow and then you loop, right?
Like you have these thoughts that just like go and go and go, and they're the same thoughts.
And then you finally fall asleep, you wake up three hours later, there they are again, looping.
And so they cause your heart rate to go up, which causes your sleep to go down, which crashes your willpower, which crashes everything else.
So by doing this like internal harvesting, like you're trying to clean up, you're lowering your heart rate, you're settling yourself down, you're getting to some point of reconciliation.
So now you've not eaten for four hours, you've got off your phone, and you've got some kind of internal balance.
Now you're ready to think I can put my head on the pillow and have a decent shot at a banger night's sleep.
And so basically I built my entire life around sleep.
Now, if you focus on that, it's just like so much of life is just not doing bad shit.
This is what we talked about before of like whether you're happy or not in life is how much you're doing, which you actually don't want to do.
