I may have been influenced.

Surprise.

So I got a teacher and she came to my house for five days on a run and gave me my mantra and it just stuck.

Now I have to be really honest, I don't get to the 20 minutes twice a day.

I don't either.

But I do usually do 15 to 20 minutes most mornings, I'd say five days a week.

And it works for me because I always thought about, like, taking this time out of my day.

And I think it puts time in my day.

It leaves me with space and clarity.

And it also reminds me... It makes everything smoother.

Everything smoother.

And because, you know, still somewhere deep down in me, I have this, you know, angry 10-year-old, I can speak to her and I can say...

Here's a better way to deal with the day.

Here's a better choice for you.

And, you know, she's your friend and she's my friend too, Diane von Furstenberg.

She has this lovely thing that she says, you know, the most important relationship you'll ever have... Is with yourself.

Is the relationship you have with yourself.

And I really believe that.

So I try, like, all the time to get a little bit closer to myself and to understand, like, why am I making certain decisions?

Why am I feeling a certain way?
