And it all goes down to one question that I love so much.
I used to play a game with my daughter, Chloe, when she was two.
And I'm like, hey, Chloe, good for your brain or bad for it?
And if I went avocados, she'd go two thumbs up, God's butter.
If I said blueberries, she'd put her little hands on her hips and go, are they organic?
Because non-organic berries hold more pesticides than almost any other fruit.
If I said hitting a soccer ball with your head, oh, so stupid.
Or talking back to your redheaded mother, very bad for your brain.
But it's that question, what I'm doing right now, is this good for my brain or is it bad for it?
And if I can answer that with information and love, I just tend to do better.
The right thing.
Because most of us have self-interest in mind.
And I'm like, activate it.
Right?

Your relationships.
What do you want in your work?

What do you want in your physical health?
Your emotional health?
