But you've got to acknowledge the positives and the shoulds, the way they seem to be working for us as a first step to see, is this something I am interested in letting go of? And maybe they're working for me, so I should keep shoulding away until I don't have any should left in my poopy bottom.

And then there's another technique I love called how many minutes. Say, David, you should use should statements and criticize yourself. Say that to me.

Okay, great. Would you like me to criticize myself some more? Absolutely. Yeah, a good person would do that. How many minutes a day would you be recommending or hours? Just constantly until you're better. Well, I've been doing it for years now, and I haven't gotten any better. So, you know, maybe you just want me to do it forever?

Yeah, that's called negative practice or worry break. Schedule time. You can do that for anxiety or should statements or anything. Just schedule at a certain time. How many minutes a day of misery do I need in order to be a peak performer? And then if you need three minutes a day, then schedule three minutes to beat up on yourself intensely. Or if you need ten minutes, try ten minutes.

It's an interesting concept and it's an interesting technique. Well, does anyone else have any wise words? I want to thank Rodolfo. This might be your first question, Rodolfo, but it was a humdinger. Brittany, this wasn't your first question. You've actually been live on a podcast with us once, maybe twice before, and you always ask great questions. So keep them coming.
