It's a situation in which you, it's almost like this, you know, micro risks or micro fear, like micro, over trauma, over time, you start to habituate.
This is to say, though, I'm not saying trauma is a good thing.
Too much trauma is not good, and that can lead to PTSD and all sorts of things.
But the opposite of that, coddling, if you protect your children too much from any kind of feeling of being uncomfortable, that's actually not a good thing, and that can lead to more anxiety and inability to be able to cope in a threatening situation.
We all have much more control than we think we have.
And I think it's really powerful to imbue yourself with that knowledge that you can actually make changes and you can improve, let's say, if you're afraid of things.
There's science behind it, and it works.
People can overcome fears.
That being said, as much as being able to control your brain and yourself can be really important and empowering, it's also just as important to be able to let go sometimes and stop thinking and just be.
And just have acceptance and be present and let go of control.
I don't think that was Heather's message.
Maybe I heard something that wasn't there.
I would say party, but just like don't overdo it.
Put that on my business card.
