We have to manage that too.

We have to self-regulate 24-7.

And when I say 24-7, consciously and deliberately when you're awake,

You can actually do it every 10 seconds.

The neuroscience shows you can stand back and observe your own thinking and monitor yourself and change yourself.

So like in other words, if you're in a conversation, in a business meeting, and you find yourself getting terribly worked up because of what someone's saying, you're getting really mad and you're going to say something nasty, you can do the neurocycle in that moment in five seconds and you can get yourself calm.

and under control.

Then let's say you go from, then you can benefit from the meeting.

Then you can go from that meeting, maybe you pick up the kids from school or something, and they were fighting in the car and you're going crazy because you haven't quite processed the meeting and you're upset about that and now the kids.

Or you can do a neuropsych and get yourself under control each time.

You can have an argument, have to get onto a podcast, or someone says something, or you get a terrible email.

Now you've got to interview someone because you're not doing that a lot, interviewing people.

You've got to be really focused.

It's not easy to interview someone.

And then something may have upset you.

So you could have done a neurocycle just before to get your mind back.

In other words, we should be monitoring our mind, and we are designed to do that every 10 seconds.

when we're awake.

And then at nighttime, our mind's still working and sorting out what we've done during the day.

So if we've got a good neurocycle system, if we are managing our mind, if our mind management's in place during the day, that means when we go into the night, we go in with a more peaceful sleep.
