But one of the amazing things that I recognized is that as that was happening, I noticed that if I didn't jump out of the meditation, if I could hold myself there, that that thought and the emotion would actually subside. It would leave my mind.

And all of a sudden that became this light bulb moment for me because what I noticed was when I was in conversation with my wife, with my children, I started to notice the energy of the conversation.

I started to notice that if, let's say, my kids are teenagers and if they're speaking and all of a sudden I want to say something, I want to interject, the energy shifts from them to me and they stop speaking. And now it's on me, but that's not my intention. My intention is for them to find their voice, for me to be supportive of them and not for me to take over or for the attention to be on me.

And so the meditation helped me develop tools for navigating conversations with people, with everybody. And now I'm very... in my mind during conversations, it's wired in.

And so you want to just jump out and say it. And through this process, I've been able to keep myself present so that I'm not jumping out and interjecting And whenever I do that, I feel like it's almost like this box appears in my mind. It's like a little checkmark because it feels like a win.

And when I do that, when I pause and think about that, anytime I've had just these moments of intentionality in my day, and I just pause in that moment and sort of check, you know, put a little check, it feels amazing. And it sort of fuels more intentionality.
