Literally your neuroscientific capacity to fall in love.

is increased.

Yeah, so what most people do on their breaks is exhausting.

Literally, right?

So if you spend time on social media, your brain will be more tired at the end of the break.

So boredom is great.

There's a lot of stuff around yoga and boredom and focusing the mind and things like that.

But yeah, I'm with you 100%.

So people don't understand what's happening to them.

They don't understand also like how to make people fall in love with you.

I don't mean that, that's the wrong phrase.

So human beings have been falling in love since the dawn of humanity, like literally.

And there are certain circumstances that lead to that.

There's a cool study that I cite over and over and over again.

They had couples go on a date on a stone bridge or a rickety wooden bridge.

And the couples that were on the rickety wooden bridge formed a stronger emotional bond.

People don't realize that forming an emotional bond depends on shared emotional experience.

So we have to feel the same thing.

This is such a problem in rehab.

My biggest problem when I'm running a rehab is an attending is like people keep falling in love.
