The real experiment was that in one of the rooms, the words that were on the table were Florida Beach Sunshine Walk.

bungalow and all of them walked more slowly out of that room than any of the other rooms because those words are associated with retirement and that made them slow down that you asked me is language important in art to our brain that's how important it is so just saying words can change our behavior so quickly that's what the experiment showed

And it's also just bringing that word need into your life. Like you don't have enough, like that you need something. I'm constantly changing my words, like tweaking them like that. So I would say, oh, I'm going to treat myself to a coffee.

I know that we've talked like very broadly on lots of different things, but I hope that for me, my intention with every sentence that I've said to you is that people should realize how much potential they have in their brains, like how capable they are of having an even more amazing life than they have already.

Yeah. Yeah. So if I could give people a takeaway to start with, that's really simple, but it doesn't mean there isn't a lot of hard work at the other end of it. It would be, be very clear on what it is that you want. So you've mentioned a few things. Spend five minutes sitting down and visualizing those things being true and then give gratitude for that. That would be my first step.

Those things being true. Just five minutes. I'm a great partner. I'm not messy. My podcast is super successful. Like see it, feel it in your body, taste it in your mouth, hear it in your ears. Completely immerse yourself in that five minutes, longer if you can. And then just be so grateful for all of that. Essentially, what you're doing is moving your brain from a fear state to a trust state.

And that is the gateway to making these changes.
