Like, oh, I can't slow down.

I've got to keep pushing.

I don't have time for that.

But what I'm seeing is like ripping that X off of that vision and saying it's mandatory.

They're showing me sitting lying on the sofa, which is my meditation with my cat.

And my cat hums like her purr for usually 45 minutes to an hour at midday every single day.

So I say, Jimmy, let's meditate.

I lie down, not sit up straight.

I lie down.

I start to tune in and my cat heals me.

Right.

So it really did take a lot to give myself permission to have that abundance of time, that full hour of stillness and to see that as success, not as, you know, just, you know, right.

Like we need to take that seriously.

It's mandatory because I keep getting this image of if we don't have a spiritual foundation at this time, we're going to be like a fish out of water.

We're going to feel like we don't have breath.

We're going to not know where to turn.

The experience of developing your own practice and stillness is going to be required.

Yeah.

Oh, completely.

It's going to be required.
