They, like, give an example where, like, you know, imagine this.
They, like, show you how just a thought can affect your biology.
And they, like, do this, look at this, and, like, eventually gets to, like, imagine, like, you're spitting saliva into a bucket, and you're like, and then, like, you, like, yeah, it's warm, and then you imagine drinking it, and you have, like, people tend to have, like, a visceral reaction.
Imagine now drinking the bucket, and you're, like, you can almost feel your body react to it, and they're, like, yeah, that's your thoughts, for some reason, affect your physiology to make them feel like it's real because your reaction to them are real, but the
and the interpretation of what's occurring aren't necessarily real.
So learning how to, like, sit with that discomfort so that you don't get, like, hooked into your almost instinctual behavior pattern that kind of dictates, you know, your behavior in often a destructive way versus, like, sitting in that and then just, like, trying to steer yourself towards acting despite the way you feel, which leads to kind of a better life.
Oh, yeah, but I was always open about that.
I'd always be like, dude, I'm a spaz.
Like, I need this as much as anybody.
So it was never like, guys, I figured it all out.
Like, I figured all this stuff out.
But it was like, no, I'm struggling severely.
I've made a ton of progress, honestly, because before it would be like, there's a big thing with, like, my wife.
There's some reason, like, me and, like,
romantic relationships, I can get very spun out easily if like, like here's the thing, for instance, if my wife would be upset, you know, sometimes women just wake up and they're just fucking pissed.
Hasn't been my experience, but go ahead.
