Dr. Andy Galpin

This is one of the beauties of this ride we get to take.

I don't know if we have good answers.

I think we've clearly shown we're not very good at asking those questions before.

I mean, look at the current health position that we're in, right?

We went after that entire idea of minimizing as many stressors as we possibly could.

And, uh-oh, it worked.

Yeah.

Yeah.

oops, now we have to go back and do this weird thing where we re-engineer stress back into our lives.

You have to be very careful and judicious.

when you pull things out of a natural state, I'm being very choosy with my words there.

If you're not directing stress, you're letting something else direct that.

That stress is still coming one way or the other, which means adaptation is coming.

So you can be intentional and point that ship in one direction, or you can cover your eyes and think it's not happening at all and realize you're getting pointed somewhere else.

It's better to at least direct

have the acknowledgement.

This is why the word consciousness is in the title of my book.

This is part of the process, right?

You can be aware of it or you can not.

From there, you can choose whatever you want.
