And when they get fragile because the membrane has been

drunk, drunk, drunk, drunk, you know, abused, abused, abused, eventually they tend to cremate and blow up and that's the end of those cells.

Addiction is, you know, we exist in a society, and I think that this is important, we exist in a society where the left hemisphere, especially character two, where our cravings and addictions are

is if I'm not happy because I'm not living a fulfilled life because I'm on YouTube or I'm watching social media and all these people are getting all these clicks and I'm not getting all these clicks and I'm not living this lavish life that these other people are living, then I'm down on me and I'm just like not very happy.

I'm going to make poor choices because that is what that part of us is designed to do.

So I say take responsibility for the energy you bring into a room.

It has changed my life.

As soon as somebody said to me, Jill, isn't your life worth 30 seconds?

And I thought to myself, oh my gosh, actually it is.

It means I'm not going to try to squeeze myself into boxes where I maybe don't fit or belong.

I'm going to pause.

Physically, I'm talking about physical.

Physical.

So seriously, if you're driving.

Slow down.
