Yes, I'm quite skilled as well. Like I used to practice for many 12 hours a day for a long time. And so I've just kind of fallen off the practice. Now I'm coming back to it and I'm experiencing this contrast again of like, oh, right, this is what it feels like to be regularly meditating every day again. Yeah.

I asked people, I didn't get into this data for this chat, but I also captured how much did they like the meditation and how hard was it. And that last meditation, the do nothing, people really didn't like it, and they found it very, very difficult. While the body scan, people really liked it, and they did not find it difficult at all. And it was basically like an uphill scale from there.

At least while these specific meditations. Yeah.

Ask, ask away.

That would be a wonderful thing to look at though. Like I would like, it'd be super cool to basically get a group of people, ask them, what do you think would make you feel better? Like what are activities you could do that you think would be really good for you to do? And, you know, it might be like, oh, cleaning my kitchen, talking to my kids more, going out and taking a walk every day.

You know, we could have people like describe what they think would be good for them and then have them rate their negative feelings and thoughts and things like that.

Oh, I see. I've experienced, I think, like the moment the choice is made, like the moment you say, I'm going to do this thing that's good. It's not even like going off and doing it. It's basically before you've done the activity, the choice that you've made to go and do something good for yourself.

Right, yeah. Like those initial positive or the initial feelings that we gathered were actually already after they've realized they're about to do an experiment. So they might have actually gotten a mood boost just by being like, I'm going to meditate for an hour once they realize that that's what's happening.

I think about 180 are in my new tool, new cool tools club. That's a tongue twister. And... 60 made it in and actually started the first introductory like data collection phase.

Um, but yes, I can attest to this kind of the, the, there's a bit of an expectancy mood boost that you can get to. I think that's related to this. Like the moment you've made the decision to do something good, that there could be a mood boost from that.
