We're going to be better at our jobs because we're gonna have an ability to handle stress.

And so for that reason, it is going to lead to more self-confidence.

It is going to lead to a better sense of being able to show up in your life and be present and be

alive and have a sense of vitality that's going to serve you in every other element.

Right.
