The other way is if you're sucked into the negative, after you be with it for a while, the three main ways to work with your mind are to let be, let go, and let in. So you let be, you be with it, you feel it mindfully, then you move into some kind of release, then what do you want to replace it with? You've released, let's say, the anxiety, but you want to replace it with, for example, calm,

You got it. It's really, it's cool. And you got to keep, you got to be on your own side to do this. You got to want the positive to win. You start to discover sometimes that there's an inner traitor inside you. that is allied with the negative and wants to keep it around, maybe because it serves some function for you. So a lot of stuff gets stirred up when you try to do this.

It's really useful to be aware of in yourself. But if you stay with it, you know, you want the strong to prevail, not because you're trying to bypass the negative or suppress it. No, you're being kind to yourself. You're easing it. You're soothing it. You're... You're helping yourself not feel unnecessarily anxious. It's useful to be anxious in proportion to threats.

And then it's useful to move past anxiety and deal with the threat without feeling nervous. I've done a ton of hardcore rock climbing in very dangerous situations. And most of the time, I'm really happy because I feel resourced. I have a rope. I know what I'm doing. I have my buddy. I'm scruffy and determined, and I'm going to get up to the top of the darn thing.

You know, Chris, I appreciate you immensely. You know, I just, because I knew I was doing this, I would start watching you. And you're so clear. And the clarity comes from the inside out. It's just really a pleasure. Thank you. You're exactly right. And I reflect on that a little bit as, you know, like a kid. You're not the boss of me. You know, who am I?
