And that when I asked you, how are you so happy, right?

And how have you built and how did you give yourself permission?

I think it's helpful for people to hear that sometimes it comes from the darkest moments and that you build a new foundation,

I mean, there's a big reframe, right?

Like I think when you, when you, what you're talking about, what you've asked me before is there's a lot of like victim mentality, like in terms of how do I, how do I not get in my own way?

I think one of the things that happens in pessimism, so this is built on the work of Dr. Martin Seligman, positive psychologist.

And he said that when we're, when we're bathing in pessimism, we tend to take things personally.

He calls them the three Ps, right?

And we think that the negative thing is pervasive.

It's in all aspects of our life.

I certainly get caught in that trap.

And we think that it's permanent.

And I added a fourth P, which is that all of that makes us passive.

So the bad things that are happening in my life are my fault.

They're never going to go away.

And it sucks all around.

How do we break that cycle?

Yeah.

So one thing I say is I talk about this in the pillar of emotional processing.

It's a four-step plan.
