And then watch it dissolve.

And just watch that irritation.

So what happens on a practical level is when you realize it's just a headset, it's just a game.

And it's all the other players are you.

with different avatars in the game all of a sudden you realize there's no reason for me to be in competition with you except as you know a friendly competition or whatever just you know you want to play handball with me sure we'll play handball i'll try to beat you but but then i'll shake your hand we'll have a you know a drink or something so it's it's really to recognize that um

In the moment, I can just step back from the story, step back and look at my emotions.

And that's the key point.

I can look at my emotions and realize I'm watching the emotions.

I'm not the emotions.

I'm the watcher of the emotions.

You have the ability to step back.

And for most of us, that's sort of a surprise.

I mean, I understand firsthand how surprising this is.

What do you mean?

I am mad and that's what I am.

I am mad or I'm frustrated.

Well,

actually, you can just watch the frustration.

You can realize, oh, wait, that's just an energy in my body.

I can feel that.
