It's more nuanced than that.

And her model is there's the achieving brain, the transactional brain, and the awakened brain is where we experience flow, where we experience spirituality, where we experience a connection to something bigger than ourselves.

And so all we're arguing for is recognize that there's two things, the transactional, the flow world,

the achieving brain, the awakened brain, and get a little more into, you know, building your whole brain, which is having a balance between the two and being in the flow world and experiencing this awakened sense of yourself connected to the world.

That's when we were more human, right?

So we need both sides of the brain.

We need both awakened and achieving.

We need to be in the transaction world and the flow world.

And we're underpracticed, right, at getting into the flow world.

If you're an athlete, you felt that you're in the zone.

You're in that place where you just know where the ball's going to be.

If you're a runner, it's the runner's high where your brain goes quiet.

and you're just on the run.

I like to cook.

For me, it can be as simple as, you know, I'm chopping onions, I'm doing my mise en place, I'm preparing everything before I cook, and put on some good music and just be in that state.

And then I'm not thinking about school, I'm not thinking about, you know, the budget, I'm not thinking about other things.

I have a lot of voices in this head that are talking to me all the time.

And so learning to just kind of quiet them down and do something, do an activity,

running, cooking, something that you enjoy doing, but really being all in, totally present and being available to what the experience can be

Right.
