And most people don't realize that we spend up to 70% of our day in the state called waking sleep.
So you're in the meeting, it's going on and on and on, and then someone says to you, Francesca, what do you think?
And Francesca goes...
About what?
And you realize you weren't there in the meeting.
You're in this state called waking sleep.
And the key thing about to know why this matters for our stress is all of your stress happens in the state of waking sleep.
When you're dreaming, it's basically a dream.
You think it's real.
Your body responds as if it's real, but it's not.
It's just a thought you're having.
And the antidote to that, like with a nightmare, is to wake up.
And the way you wake up is you become present to what you can feel, see, hear, taste, smell right now.
When you do that and become back into the present moment, your rumination stops.
You don't ruminate.
You don't stress when you're awake and present.
That's right.
And you probably discovered the next part of the work then, though, is like you came back, hey, I'm awake, I'm present, and then 30 seconds later you realise, oh, I'm back in a dream again.
And so that's what happens.
That was sort of the next big piece of work for me when I went through my experience.
