A lot of people can relate.

And a key quote from your book is, you can't think your way out of feelings.

They live in your body.

So if we're not present to our body, if we don't tap into the power of the body, it's hard to break that loop.

And in fact, more thinking often just makes the situation even worse.

And, you know, going through your book, I was realizing like there's some pretty strong science around tapping and it's continuing to build.

One that we were chatting about right before we hit record is how tapping can have an immediate impact on cortisol levels, right?

Cortisol often gets a bad rap, but it's a beautiful thing in our lives too.

It's that hormone that allows us to wake up in the morning and have energy, but too much cortisol

always on all the time that's associated with this inertia that people have from modern life and carrying all this stress and overthinking is bad for us.

It increases inflammation.

It makes us feel burned out.

So talk to us about some of that science.

Yeah, so much of everything we're all dealing with, we're all dealing with different things, but so much of everything we're dealing with is made that much worse when there's that chronic stress in our lives.

Yeah, so important.

We're gonna get into, in a minute, I just wanna give a preview to the audience.

We're gonna get into how our pattern styles, and there's a few of them, I think five that you've outlined in the book, we'll talk about them, play a role in how we uniquely end up dealing with this stress and sometimes even in our life, become addicted to seeking it out.

So that's an important part of the conversation because tapping can help us at the top line, but if we come with also this level of awareness,

that we have a particular pattern style, then we can also start to dig even a little bit deeper and see, wow, maybe I was wired this way because of X, Y, and Z. So we're gonna get to that in a second.

Before we do, just a couple more big ideas that I wanna touch on to set up the conversation.
