We'd like, if our best friend said something to us, we'd say something so nice back.

but the way that we generally speak to ourselves, oftentimes it's really harsh.

It's really critical.

The standards to which we hold ourselves can be so high.

So I just think kind of, if you feel like you're holding yourself to these extraordinary standards, just also exploring that and kind of trying to be a little bit more compassionate and gentle with yourself.

Yeah, of course.

I mean, look, first of all, I think this is so similar in lots of ways to that study we were talking about on Monday in terms of like, yes, coffee or olive oil or berries are really good for not anti-aging, but healthy aging, but they are all within a context, right?

I think in a nutshell, you know, you've got your kind of two key branches of your autonomic nervous system.

You've got your sympathetic and you've got your parasympathetic.

Your sympathetic is your quote unquote stressed state.

Your parasympathetic is your rest and digest.

The reality is, and you know, people always use that analogy of like the modern mind doesn't know the difference between being chased by a tiger and my boss emailing me late at night.

No.

That's true though.

You know, that's kind of a beeping horn or an ambulance blaring.
