I mean, it should be to a level that it makes sense to continue the funding so that we get good results from it, that it can be applied.

But yeah, I guess you're right that it needs to be made against other research priorities.

I mean, that's a whole other topic that gets me upset.

But I think I just want to make sure that this funding doesn't go away.

I think we would lose out on this really unique opportunity after all these people have been affected by this condition to understand the long-term effects.

So that way, if there's another resurgence, we'll understand what can we do about it to mitigate those effects.

I mean, we're still trying to figure out kind of what the effects of a lockdown were on people.

I think that's something that needs to be better understood.

Yeah, I think we do want to focus on the prevention, definitely.

I still just don't want to lose sight of making sure that we're getting the research done that needs to happen.

Yeah, I think if there's one thing that listeners or viewers take from this is, you know, awareness is more than half the battle.

So just really taking the time to become more aware of how you react to different disagreements or different conflicts, how you're responding to it physically,

and mentally, and what specific patterns might emerge in terms of whether it's with colleagues, with people in authority, with family members.

And I think that alone begins to get you to pay more attention about how you can be more deliberate in your responses.

And ideally, you can try out some of the skills from the book with those disagreements that are a little less distressful for you.

Just kind of like when you go to the gym, you don't start out by lifting the heaviest weights.

You start out by getting the reps down with the good form.

And then you build that muscle.

And similar with kind of building kind of the brain programming, wiring around it is to start low and build up from there.
