Um I think to I referenced Ram Das before who
voice-verified
Who wrote a book called Be Here Now, but another thing, Ram Das, who many people will know this, but some won't, may his given name is Richard Alpert.
voice-verified
He's a Jewish kid from Boston who uh um went over to India and met a guru who gave him the name Ram Das.
voice-verified
And an another thing he talked about is how like with enough practice you can turn your neuroses into, and this is his quote, little schmooz.
voice-verified
I think he also said you you become a connoisseur of your neuroses and and so th that that kind of
voice-verified
humor really allows you, I think, to to ride these waves with a little bit more sophistication.
voice-verified
I prefer it when my son and I gang up on my wife.
voice-verified

voice-verified

I was until I, you know, got over myself.
voice-verified
But but what do you say to to the old me?
voice-verified
So you can imagine your dog or somebody kind in your life and kind of channel that energy and direct it toward yourself.
voice-verified
One other thing I would say to skeptics, and and then we can move on, is just pay attention to the to the science.
voice-verified
The science is really strong, not only from Kristen Neff, who's the the the godmother of um self compassion, um and which has shown that you can, you know, learn to relate to yourself differently.
voice-verified
Uh but also from Ethan Cross, another veteran of the uh Freak and Flyer on this show, who's at the University of Michigan, who's who's
voice-verified
Work uh has shown that you can sort of rewire your inner dialogue, your inner chatter, that's the term he uses, um, where you just y talk to yourself the way you would talk to a good friend.
