I've gotten rid of some behaviors that I thought were unchangeable through IFS, nervousness, types of nervousness, types of reactions to people talking to me and realizing that these were all just automatic functions of how I show up and react to any kind of perception or stimulus in the world.

Absolutely. Absolutely. I feel flawed. You're going to hear people talk about when they talk about spirituality, about being asleep and And what being asleep means is going back into your mechanical automatic reflexes of reacting to life and just sort of not being truly present.

And so that's something that I want to grind away at and fix over time. I think that sometimes I can be reactive to things in ways that I wish I wasn't. So I'm working on those things.
