Totally. And then being able to say, like, for me, what's really, really helped me is going, OK, I'm frozen right now. It might be my habenula. You know, it's nice.

But it's fun because, you know, and this is what I talk about because a lot of what I talk about is kind of healing from the spirit side. I mean, I know a lot about neuroscience. I know a lot about the default mode network, the insular cortex. And I think the insular cortex is going to play a huge role in healing anxiety as we go through life. That we're not really even...

tip the scale on how big the insular cortex is. The insular cortex is basically what maps the body onto the brain. And the posterior part of it deals a lot with physical pain. The anterior part of it deals with a lot of emotional pain. It also has a direct link into the default mode and the amygdala. So it kind of gets you into this. If you feel this alarm, this is what I'm saying.

If you feel this alarm in your system, this insula through interoception picks it up, says, okay, we're in danger. Let's shut everything down. So it shuts everything down through the default mode network. And then you stay in that default mode network. And then you loop in the posterior cingulate part of the thing. I don't want to get too complicated, but I love this stuff.

It starts feeding you all this negative shit about yourself. And then you get trapped in there. So this is why things like the anterior cingulate, gratitude, meditation, doing the hard things, you know, the Goggins nucleus, the ACC, anterior cingulate. The anterior cingulate can actually recognize, hey, you are stuck in the default mode right now. You need to get out and go for a walk.

You need to do something differently.

It takes you right out of default mode. As soon as you connect, and this is one of the other things that I say, and this is a little more woo, is that anxiety, all anxiety is separation anxiety. And it's mostly separation from yourself. It's separation of your adult self from your child self. The adult doesn't want to go back and visit the child because the child holds all the pain.

And it's a separation of your mind from your body. So you wind up living life neck up. You're living your life in the default mode network, which is not fun. So it's understanding that when you can connect with that younger version of you, you connect with the part of you that's alarmed.
