Our brain makes us who we are and how we think and what we do, but it has malleability.

We can't control our brain.

to make it such that we're happier, we do more, and we enjoy our lives more.

But I think it's important to make that a goalpost for yourself, that I wanna do things to have a healthier brain, and when I have a healthier brain, I'm gonna enjoy life.

I'm gonna wake up every day looking forward to the day I'm gonna have.

When I go to bed at night, I'm gonna look back and say, what a great day it was.

and plan for the next day, ultimately you want to be happy.

I mean, I don't want to add stress to people.

Like they already hear so many things about their taxes and economy and how to raise children.

There's so many things to do every day.

I don't want, you know, taking care of their brain to become one more source of stress.

So don't make it into a huge project.

you know, make it something that you do a little bit every day.

But overall though, when you wake up in the morning, ask yourself, what am I going to do today to have a better day?

And I was once in Tanzania, we were traveling with my daughters and there was a post on a tree in a hotel and said, today is a great day to have a great day.

And I think that's a good principle to wake up every day and make that day a better day.

And when you go to bed at night,

Look back and be grateful for all the good things that happen.

Realizing everybody has problems.

Everybody has problems.
