And if that's becoming a part of you, then that becomes the part of the reality that your brain is predicting.

And it becomes just normal.

If you're never taking a moment to process and make peace with it, maybe tell a new story, then it just becomes a part of, you know, the reality that your brain is predicting.

And literally, I think it was two weeks ago, I got on a coaching call.

I was like, you need more processing time.

And I, this is another reason why every single morning I've been doing my morning pages, which is from The Artist's Way, that book, great book.

But yeah, the morning pages and it's just really just the time where I sit and I just stream of consciousness, dump everything out of my brain onto paper.

And the amount of,

not only ideas that will flow through me.

I mean, I'm so much more creative when I do it for sure, but also just the patterns that I can then see from a third person perspective when I am taking that time.

And I'm like, oh, this is something like I'll get into maybe not even processing mode, but I'm dumping something out of my brain.

And I'm just like, oh, hey, this is something that's sitting in me that I didn't realize was sitting inside of me.

And now I can take the time to process it.

And

I have noticed, I mean, I used to live alone.

Now I don't.

But back when I lived alone, like I never really was a scroll on social media type of person.

So I would just lay on the couch and listen to music and just stare up at the ceiling and just think.

And I like, I love that time.

It's so amazing.
