Yeah.

Like literally like put your name, put David on your calendar or have your assistant put it on there.

So that way that is your time.

Even if it's like 10 minutes, it all it still matters.

Mine are where I'm in a car that's falling off of a cliff backwards.

You know, this is going to sound really basic, but what we eat can play a really big part.

The book has a whole section on specific foods and nutrients.

But if nothing else, just having balanced meals, you will be shocked at what a difference that can make.

Because when we're having a balance of protein, fat and carbohydrates at our meals, that's supporting stable blood sugar.

And that is a key aspect of our mental well-being, because when our blood sugar is regulated, everything else works better, too.

Listen, I'm Italian.

I'm never going to tell someone not to eat pasta.

But as a dietician, I will tell you, you're going to get the most bang from your buck with that pasta if you're pairing it with some proteins.

Maybe add some chicken, some shrimp, or check out one of the chickpea or other legume-based pastas for more protein.

Yeah.

So movement, there is so much research there, whether it's, you know, a walk or a more vigorous activity.

In the book, I interviewed a few people who are personal trainers about specific types of movement that can be especially helpful.

So, you know, there's that saying, like, don't know where I first saw this, but it's like, if you are stressed, take a walk.

If you're anxious, take a walk.
