And when the five minute timer goes off, you take a deep breath and you say, okay, I can't change it.

I'm not going to be upset about it anymore.

I'm going to move on.

And I conditioned myself to think that way with that five minute rule for a year and a half.

And then, you know, granted, this car accident was a much more difficult experience.

But the principle, that five minute rule, that acceptance, that was universal.

And when I applied it to the car accident, I was able to be free, give myself freedom from emotional pain.

Because it changes behavior.

I think that if you think about most books that we read, if we read a good book, while we're reading that book, we're like, oh, it's changing our thinking typically, right?

And because our memories are very short, we have so much stimuli today with our focus is all over the place.

And, and so while you're reading a great book, you know, you might be telling everybody, you know, oh my gosh, this book's amazing.

You got to read this.

But as soon as you're done reading that book, you, you start to forget the lessons and the things that were getting you all excited.

And then if you start reading another book, now that's the best book you ever read.

And you don't talk about the first book.

However, if that first book changed your daily behavior where you now do something different every single day that adds significant value to your life.

Well, the the the talking about that book is going to extend beyond the book itself for as long as you do the behavior.

And we have people that the miracle morning is not only change their life.

quickly in the short term, but it continues to do that years after they read the book and people are still asking, hey, what's this thing you're doing?

Why do you wake up early?
