And you say all these things to yourself.

And it's so interesting.

I started, I had very, very low self-esteem and I started doing these sorts of things about 10 years ago.

And, you know, I remember doing these

affirmation meditations being like, I love myself.

I'm being like, oh my God, that's the most uncomfortable thing I've ever done.

Anyway, I had all this feedback from people on Sunday.

People were saying that that was so emotional for me.

I'm so self-critical.

And I think we are.

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.

And there's so many different ways of looking at that, but I, I just do think that's worth holding.

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?

And I think, you know, breathwork or meditation, all these things sit within it as well.

Like five minutes of breathwork can only do so much.
