That's a tool for me.

And then I'll come right, I'll be right back and it'll be 15 seconds.

And I might, for me, I know I love helping people come up with their own unique toolbox and I now know what mine are.

And I think just sharing that in your daily life with everybody, you know, like I'm like, I need to do a four, seven, eight breathing right now and take that time to reset and then be like, okay.

it doesn't change the circumstances.

It doesn't buy you more time, but it shifts your physiology.

And when you shift that, your brain is a little more open to possibility and solution.

You can't really operate from empty all the time.

And even if it's a short, and I think what people don't understand is the beauty of this.

And the thing that makes me so optimistic are there are so many different small ways to do this that literally take 15, 30 seconds.

And again, it's not magic.

It doesn't change the circumstance, but it helps us navigate better throughout it.

So I think modeling is probably the biggest thing.

And the second thing I would say is really to start to shift your language and language is really important when we're talking about real optimism.

And we want to try and shift, especially when we're going through setbacks or roadblocks in our daily life, we want to shift from the automatic of saying,

of course this happened, this always happens, or this is always going to be this way.

And we want to help and shift back to that explanatory style of teaching that this is temporary.

And yes, this sucks, but this is temporary or like really making something specific and not pervasive.

So shifting our language, wow, that person cut me off.

That sucks.
