So
It's it's putting a stop when you're spinning spinning what I call like the the sadness spinner.
Think of think of your brain as having a fidget spinner on the side of it and the fidget spinner kinda goes like this.
Oh my God, you didn't get into fourth grade math extended math.
And if you don't do fourth grade advanced math, then you don't get to do pre algebra.
The spinner is spinning really fast now, right?
And if you don't do pre algebra, then you're not in time to do geometry when you're in eighth grade.
And if you don't do geometry in eighth grade, you don't get to calculus and if you don't get to cal yeah.
And then you don't get to Harvard and you don't become, you know, a consultant at a big consulting firm where everyone is super unhappy and Xeroxing things and working sixty hours a week.
That's what you don't get.
Poor, poor child.
But and you might get that anyway, because come on.
So we we're constantly spinning that.
So so stopping that spinner.
That's big.
And one of the ways to stop that spinner, and I this is this comes from a lovely neuropsychologist that I talked to, is to take that deep breath.
and look up at the horizon because apparently something about looking at the horizon resets your brain to see the bigger picture, which is kind of beautiful because you're looking at the beautiful picture, but it's apparently a real actual thing.
And then take a minute to soak in.
That really for you at that moment, even though your child is perhaps not in advanced fourth grade math.
Everything is fine.
