There's a wonderful book called The Book of Delights that I love a lot, written by a philosopher at the University of Chicago. And it really talks about how when we're sort of priming ourselves for this and you can be doing this and you need to do it all the more when you're having a tough day. And I think you need to really override your inclination to go down that rabbit hole and feel worse.

And there's a lot of evidence. One way to do that would be to use what psychologists call self distancing when you. think to yourself, well, what would I advise a friend in this moment to do? Or sometimes I ask my patients to be on you. What would be the opposite of the thing you feel like doing right now? And even think of somebody you admire, what would they do in this moment?

Because it can help lift us out of ourselves. And I think so much of psychology and psychiatry, we assume it's happening in people's heads, but actually how we feel really depends on sort of how we're interacting with the world and activities, actions that we take can really shape how we feel.

We know from, you know, there's so much evidence that points to maybe on that walk, distancing yourself from some of those hassles might help you find some clarity to help you actually solve them.

And I think that game of walk-a-mole that we're playing all the time, you know, that actually when you sort of pause the game and you walk away from it, you might be a little bit more effective when you return. I mean, I think there's loads of evidence showing that most people have even bigger breakthrough moments, physicists, artists, looking at, you know, across different disciplines.

It's, you know, we often hear about those in the shower moments, like that's when somebody like thinks, you know, oh, wait a minute, I've just solved that problem. But there's really evidence showing that that is the case.

So it's often when we're not thinking about the thing we need to be thinking about that we, I think, clear our minds and we're able to, I think, be more effective in the way we solve those problems and deal with those hassles.
