And for me, that looks like meditation.

It doesn't have to be that.

I mean, there are plenty of different ways to do it.

And then the third M is mindset.

And I've been asked before, what's the difference between mindfulness and mindset?

I kind of make this analogy of like mindfulness is like raking the soil and mindset is like planting the seeds.

So mindfulness is more like quieting the mind, going within, kind of just being mindful.

It can be breath work, meditation, but then mindset is, okay, that's a beautiful opportunity to do maybe a gratitude practice or like we were mentioning in the beginning of this conversation, training your perception and taking that moment to, you know, like what do I want to see?

I remember there was one time in my life where

I was getting really annoyed with my one friend.

And I was like, you know what?

No, I want to see more of the good in them.

Like, I know they're a great person.

I was just going through one of those phases where I was just getting annoyed with what they were doing.

And I was like, but I know I love them.

So I want to see more of the good.

I was like, okay, but I can't just say I want to see more of the good.

Like I need to look for more of the good in them.

And so I took a moment to write down a list of all the amazing things about them.
