Because when we spend a lot of time avoiding our problems, when we don't diagnose the issue, when we just avoid it and we just hope it'll get better tomorrow, then of course we can't do anything about it. But understanding of the problem is the first step. Wow.

Caffeine's a great example. So why do people get addicted to caffeine? They get addicted to caffeine for a couple reasons. Sure, there's like a biological portion to it. But caffeine is a very psychological addiction. It is an addiction to not feeling tired. It is an addiction to really wanting a high level of performance in the next couple of hours. I mean, I had this problem. I was in residency.

So I'm working like 80 to 80 hours a week on average. And I was up to three cups of coffee a day. I would have a cup of coffee at like 6 a.m. when I show up at the hospital. I'd have another one afternoon, like at one o'clock to stop that post lunch crash. And then around four or five o'clock, I'm dragging and I have a bunch of notes to finish, which is like really boring work.

So I'd have my third coffee of the day. And if I really paid attention to myself, what I found is that first of all, when you get addicted to caffeine, it stops working. What caffeine really is, is a loan against future energy. So the way that caffeine doesn't give you more energy, it blocks your signals of tiredness and fatigue.

So with this stuff, what we're really addicted to when I work with people who are addicted to caffeine and nicotine, what they're addicted to is the feeling of being of having energy. They hate being tired and they have to use caffeine in order to push through and get this work done because it's so important.

But then they create this situation where they're like just setting themselves up to fail. Instead of actually having energy, you're substituting with caffeine never really works long term. And so that's where we really have to understand what is the psychological, what is it that is the caffeine is really doing for you? And then what we want to do is like, OK, then let's fix that. Right.

So if you feel like you've got low energy. Let's actually figure out how to improve your energy. And when you come out on the other side and you are resting well and you're meditating and working out and all that kind of stuff, which I know sounds impossible, but when you're actually letting that negativity fuel you for progress, like you'd be amazed at how much transformation you can see.
