And then they went and did these tasks and the dentists that were exposed to the stress chemo signals performed worse on the task.

And they were not even consciously aware that they had even...

you know, smell any chemo signals.

So yes, they can make us feel differently, but also they can be entirely subconscious and be affecting how we move our perception, our behavior, our performance without us even realizing it.

Yeah, exactly.

I actually, on that note of processing time, I actually, I've discovered this sort of meditation center 10 minutes from my house.

It's beautiful.

It's won awards.

They're doing a whole TV show about it.

I'm like, of course.

But I went there and I was talking to these women, this like 85-year-old woman who I would never have guessed she was over 60.

It was incredible.

But anyway.

I was talking to her about exactly what you just said, the processing time and how we are as a culture and as also individuals just like losing that.

And back in the old days, we used to, you know, if something happened, we would have all this silence and all this time to process the event.

And now it's like something bad happens.

You're immediately just picking up your phone and scrolling social media or whatever, and we're never processing it.

And just kind of really to go into the neuroscience of that just for a second, like that becomes our programming then.

If we never allow, if we never take the time to process the thing that occurred, it just becomes a part of us.

If we never let it like pass through us, it just becomes a part of us.
