And when it comes down to habits in general that we want to cultivate are ones that increase our capacity to become more parasympathetic, to relax. Our default as humans these days now is to be on, on. But how do you turn on your off switch? How do you do it? That is the GABA system. So creating habits that help you turn on your off switch are going to help you in so many ways.

So what are some of the things you can do? Well, first thing you don't want to do is wake up and the first thing you do is check your phone immediately for all the messages and all the other kinds of notifications that you might see there. Finding a way to create space from the world around you just a little bit can go a long way.

And this is what we were discussing earlier when we were talking about 70 to 120,000 thoughts per day. The human organism is not evolved to do this. Our human organism is evolved for two things, if you believe this.

Some people believe more, but in general, we're evolved for fitness and for function, meaning we're evolved to be able to do certain things for a certain period of time so we can procreate and pass on our genetics. And then the rest is just...

In our world, it would be icing on the cake even now, but especially in Paleolithic times, if you live longer than 40, 50 years old, it was a gigantic thing, right? It takes a lot of intention for us to take the time and realize that being parasympathetic is going to give us longevity.

It's going to allow us to live a much longer, much healthier life because if we're always in sympathetic dominance, we're not gonna be able to rest, recover, heal, detox. And so if you can't detox, you're gonna build up with toxicity over time. and you are not going to live as long. Cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, these are associated with stress.

So some of the habits that I like to talk to my patients about. One of them is actually very simple, we just described, taking time in the day when you're not looking at phones or screens. This could be five minutes, it could be 10 minutes, it could be longer. I like this in the setting of meditation if people will do it, or if they're just gonna do some deep breathing.
