It's stuff that society says isn't valuable because there's no money attached to it. That's bullshit. when I walk people through this, we go through the whole day, who's in the kitchen and walk all the way. I won't do it now cause it would take the whole session, but you go through the whole morning and see, I'll ask you, what do you do in the mornings?

Yeah. Because you've done so much in the world that says, you know, be a lawyer, be that... All that stuff that was harsh and cruel and sort of tried to knock the sentimentality out of you. it was pushing you away from your purpose and into fear, into anxiety, because when we leave the track of our joy, a natural response is to be terrified.

And then we get stuck in that spiral and we can't come back. But when you begin to create, which you just did with your senses and your imagination, not verbal mind, don't be counting things and measuring how it's going to happen. No, that's all left hemisphere thinking. Senses and joy. That's how you track your future.

asked. And again, I don't want to get all sciencey here, but the left hemisphere of the brain, which is glorified by our society, that left hemisphere is what talks and counts and measures time and thinks of problems and tries to like get what it wants. And it's very fear-based. So it gets stuck in anxiety. When you go to the senses and

If I asked you, you know, imagine the taste of lemon, immediately the right hemisphere would start to light up. The senses and our sense of being in place activate the right hemisphere, and so does imagination. And creativity, like, sums it all up. So any artist is just in the present moment, very much in contact with what we're making and not stuck in fear at all.

The interesting thing is that after you come out of a session of that, because your right hemisphere doesn't track time and you go back into the verbal left hemisphere, it will say, well, that was nothing. That didn't even happen. There was no time. I don't know what you were doing. So when you say, you know, I say, oh, yeah, bliss and white light and everything.

And you're like, how does that add up? It's the right hemisphere that gives us our sense of meaning, our sense of connection, our sense of joy. And the mind that goes, no, that actually is a completely different part of the brain. Yeah. But as I said, anxiety shuts down creativity, but creativity shuts down anxiety. So while you were doing The Ideal Day, how anxious were you? Zero.
