then apply it which we'll get to in a second about the second big thing that people can do with this which is to identify particular strengths they want to grow inside not just kind of move through life harvesting you know here and there useful experiences which is great in its own right but going after things in particular so i'll get to that so heels stands for have and

That's the have the beneficial experience in the first place. Either you notice it's happening or you create it. And then the second necessary step, right? The one that I and others routinely forget of installation. I call it activation installation because I read too much science fiction installation and still do probably. The E stands for enriching.

You're helping the experience be big, powerful, lasting in your brain. And A for absorbing. You're sensitizing. the neurobiological machinery of memory. So the enriched experience is landing on a more sensitive system that can really internalize it. That's the basic process.

Then the fourth step is optional, but very powerful, is to link in the moment a beneficial experience with some negative material you're trying to soothe and ease and eventually even replace. Right. That's the overall structure. I think of it as like the brain and mind are like a garden. You can be with it, which is fundamental, but you can also work with it.

And working with it means pulling weeds and planting flowers. And my focus a lot is how do you plant the flowers, but you can use in the linking step, you can use flowers not just to gradually crowd out the weeds over time, but to actually uproot the weeds.

Well, yeah, let's get to the L. That'd be cool. But the second way people, you said, okay, Rick, great, thanks. How does this translate into daily life? I think of this as like the five-minute challenge. Three parts. The first part I've said already, as you go through the flow of your life, Look for a handful of useful experiences, beneficial, good moments, and slow down and let them sink in.

Most of them are not million-dollar moments. Those are bread and butter of daily life. But if you start looking for them and taking them in, that will change your day a lot. And you've only spent a minute doing that. Spread, distribute it over the course of your day. Second, what do you want to grow more inside? What would make a big difference if it were more present in your mind?
