And instead, shift your work towards anything that leads to anywhere and experience more.
There are two or three other...
Simple techniques that we can talk about because y'all may be listening to this and be like, oh, is this really going to change things?
It really is.
So here's the key thing to understand.
All of these techniques work by restoring the sinusoidal rhythm of life.
So this is what life is supposed to be like.
There are downs and there are ups and there's stuff in the middle.
There's up, there's down, there's up.
You'll notice that the width of the peaks is different.
We have some peaks that are very narrow and some peaks that are very wide.
This is what normal life is like.
Now, in reactive depression, what tends to happen is we have a prolonged—there's less sinusoidal rhythm, right?
So there's more variance here, whereas in reactive depression, something bad happens, and then we're locked into this pattern for a while.
We're locked into this pattern for a while.
And then we have endogenous depression, which is way more constant than even reactive depression.
So the key thing—and this is what's pretty cool about this—
