And again, this again for me is one of the missing pieces in the health conversation online. Emotional stress is not neutral. You have to neutralize it in some way or another. Now, there are a variety of ways in which you can do that. So you could neutralize that emotional stress with a workout in the gym or a walk around the block. Or when you get to work,

you will neutralize it by going to the vending machine and pulling out a chocolate bar, having another coffee with sugar in, having an extra glass of wine or a beer at lunch, whatever it might be. Those behaviors are there to neutralize the emotional stress that you generated by the way you interacted with that moment. You can also, and it's not that difficult, it just takes a bit of practice,

You can also choose in that moment to not interrupt like that and go, wow, I can just let that go. Like I said before about regrets, I choose to believe, it's a choice, that I've always done the best that I could with the information that was available to me and where I was in my life at that time. I also choose to believe that about other people. So therefore, I've trained myself now.

It took me a few months and years. Now I do it in the moment. It's default. But I had to consciously do it initially. Where it's like, oh, what's going on with that other person? What might be going on with that other person? Oh, well, maybe it's a dad's. whose daughter was sick last night and they were up all night and now they're rushing to work.

Maybe it's a mother who's been late for work three times in the past two weeks and she's worried she's going to lose her job if she's late again. The truth of the situation, Chris, for your well-being and your ability to make changes, it doesn't actually matter. It's the way you frame the situation because in that moment then, you're not generating the emotional stress, you're

you're feeling internally calm, and therefore you have less of a need to engage in these unhelpful behaviours that were only there to neutralise the stress that you generated by the way you responded.

Yeah, that's a good point. So When I spoke before about interception and the importance of trusting ourselves, one thing I didn't say, which I write about in that chapter right at the end, is I say, listen,

I believe that although most of us are different and we've got unique lives and we need slightly different approaches, I believe that the most important daily practice that any one of us can do in the 21st century is a daily practice of solitude. I want to say solitude, I'm simply talking about time with yourself.
