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.

This is hard.

Professors don't like to boil their things down to something so simple that anybody can do it.

Exactly.

Those Mark Twain's, if I had more time, I'd have written a shorter letter.

The circular pattern, I'm telling stuff, I'm telling my story.

People say, that's very interesting.

I've thought about talking to so-and-so or this, trying this or this.

And it just keeps going.

You know, your curiosity leads to more engagement, which leads to more prototypes, which leads to more stories.

Once you get that flywheel running.

You know, it runs by itself.
