I try it all the time 'cause I'm a real person that would be picking up clothes, putting them in the wash basket, you know, half getting dressed all while brushing my teeth, instead of just giving myself that two and a half minutes to just be there. voice-verified

And is there a Venn diagram of where mindfulness based interventions merges with Buddhism and and and what's in that middle piece? voice-verified

Yeah, and I think what an amazing layer to have to you as a as a consultant to to to know about this or as a voice within uh the mental health system. voice-verified

That it is multi layered, as you said. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

But happy gives the idea to people that we should be skipping around like voice-verified

Disney characters all of the time where it's sort of a fleeting feeling, isn't it? voice-verified
