And it's important because when human beings don't know how they feel, they're very stressed. It's almost as if you're in a dark room and something falls and it's a loud thud and you start running for the door because you don't know what it is. You turn the light on and you're like, oh, it was just like a picture frame. Like, it's not scary.

But if you don't know what it is, if you don't know what your emotions are, it is scary. And that's why you see so many people acting out these days. You hear these stories on planes and people are just there, somebody put their seat back and they flip out as if they were being attacked, right? If we don't know how we feel, it leads to so much confusion and we make poor mistakes.

So acknowledging and accepting how you feel is important. And that's validation, the first V. The second is venting, expressing it. And you can express your emotions in many different ways. You can do what kids do and cry, right? That's an expression of emotions. If you're an artist or performer, you can sing or you can dance. If you're someone who's more verbal, you can talk about it.

But if you're someone who's not and you prefer writing, you can write. And some of us don't like any of the above and we pray. But expressing the emotions and venting them is important because when you imagine venting, it's a It's a term in physics. It literally means releasing the pressure in a system. So you're letting the air out so the system is under less stress.

And again, one of the points of joy in the research is feeling less stressed. Being less stressed is actually a joyful emotion. And then the third V is values. And these are things that I say they have their price list, not with the price tags. Right. In my lab, we had an event recently and we did an exercise with a beaker, a scientific beaker full of water.

And we had all of the attendees hold a rock and write on the rock something that brings them purpose and meaning in life and then put that rock into the beaker. And then we use dye to color the waters with things that are frivolous, the surface things that we tend to distract from the things that really ground us and give us meaning.

And then we put a solvent in it to get rid of the color in the water. And it was a demonstration that was powerful because it showed us that many of us, we know what our rocks are. We know what the anchors are, but we don't. Appreciate them. We let other surface things muddy the waters. And so I asked those attendees to take that rock home, keep it in your purse, your backpack, or your desk.
