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?

You know, there are these four questions. Chris had routinely... Clinicians should think about and people can think about in daily life. What's your challenge? What's a challenge, especially what's the experience of it inside you? Right. Then second, the money question. What would help if it were more present in your mind? Right.

So now, you know, like, for example, my story, feeling respected for not being a total loser athlete. I'm not great, but I'm kind of good. All right, I want to feel that. I want to look for that. Or I want to feel more included, more comfortable. Fairly manly men like you were scary to me when I was like a skinny, dorky guy in school to feel fine and comfortable.

That's something I want to grow inside, let's say, whatever it might be. And there are many other things. I'm working on patience. And being less exasperated by some people. Whatever you're working on, know what that is. I think of it as like, I call it the vitamin C. You know, if you have scurvy, iron won't help.

You need vitamin C. What are the specific inner resources, inner strengths that are matched to the challenges you have? And as you know from Hard Miring Happiness, I think- of challenges in a certain framework relating to the evolution of the brain or three basic needs for safety, satisfaction, and connection. And what are the strengths that are specifically matched to those particular challenges?

If you, a lot of it is just, what does your heart long for? Or when you were growing up, what would have made all the difference in the world? That, That identifies, okay, now that you know what you're trying to grow, one or two key things. Look for ways to, step one, experience it or factors of it. And second, slow down and really take it in. That might take another minute a day.

That's the second aspect of my five-minute challenge. And then last, if people are real about it, at some point in your day, maybe part of your meditation, maybe when you first wake up or go to sleep, marinate in what I call deep green. The natural setting of our species and mammals in general. It's why zebras don't get ulcers, you know, Sapolsky's wonderful book on stress.

The natural setting, when we feel that needs are met enough in the moment, is the body settles down in its equilibrium state, in which it's undisturbed, and the mind is saturated in terms of our three needs with a broad sense of peacefulness, contentment, and love related to safety, satisfaction, connection.
