So when we get in and it's interesting because the fight is, is, is helpful because sometimes you got to fight, you got to use that fight to look, okay, I'm going to go here to look for food or I'm going to go here where, where I can figure stuff out or whatever.

And then we have the prefrontal cortex where we can actually, you know, use, you know, we can, you know, the executive function. Right. So a lot of times when you get emotionally hijacked, uh, we get something happens. Like I'll talk about my boy Dennis Rodman when he was, when he was on the sideline and he tripped over the reporter and he ended up kicking him.

It was like, that was a hijack because this dude could have ended his career. So instead of having a space and choose your response, there was no space, it was an automatic reaction. And so when you're in survival mode, that's what you do and what you see is danger. Nine out of 10 thoughts are danger. So you're in survival mode, then you're not in growth mode.

You're not in a mode where you have space and you can think. So you're in fear, no space, you're in love or growth mode, you have space. And so we have to understand that it's like, And it's interesting because I didn't put my glasses on, but it's like being in survival mode or growth mode.

If you're in survival mode, if I have on the fair glasses, I'm looking for danger and I'm probably going to fight you or run or freeze until I figure stuff out or play dead, whatever it is, and then fawn, whatever. Just tell you what you want to hear so I can stay safe. It's like they say attack dogs when they have an attack dog on you. If you show any kind of emotion, they attack you.

And I'm probably, because here's the secret. And this guy, Bruce Lipton, he wrote a book called Biology of Belief. He said on a cellular level, the cell is either in survival mode or growth mode.
