So I'd understood all that, you know?

And and so I was like, OK, now it's time for the second step, which is doing something about it.

And truly, as when I chose like I'm going to be joyful during this, it was like a weight lifted off me.

It's like I gave myself permission to have fun doing it.

That was most that was a huge part of it.

I realized I thought that you are just the way you are.

It's not true.

You're choosing it like and you know, I meditate every day now, almost every day.

But when I meditate, I'm realizing, oh, I'm choosing to be a certain way.

You can change your mood at certain times.

Yeah, and I find, you know, I sort of tell a lot of people about it and I obviously, you know, in this industry, I have a lot of friends who are anxious and they're like, it's just, I don't know what to do.

Like, I feel like I'm not good at it.

I'm like, there's no good or bad at it.

The attempt is what matters.

So sometimes I'll have sessions where I'm done where I'm like,

Wow, that was transformative.

And then sometimes nothing happens.

But even when nothing happens, a little something happens.

I've never had a meditation session that I've regretted or even one that I've thought didn't give me anything.

Even from the very beginning, the first time I did it, I was like, that was valuable.
