probably better as a, as a, as a relatively small demonstration. But if I say to you, like I say, Chris, you're not enough. What do you feel physically when I say that to you? Uh, like, uh, closing over shoulders come forward.

So you kind of feels right. So you kind of feel it in your chest. You feel it in your shoulders, right? Well, the first thing you need to do is, is learn to sit with that. Learn to just sit in that feeling. And ask it questions. Your emotions are not fact. They're just in there. And they come from, you know, experiences. They come from your past.

And, you know, I could probably iterate a million different personal growth books on that. But once you just feel it and you say, okay, so now I know what that feels like. The next question is, what does it mean? What am I actually saying to myself in this moment? So if anybody's listening, whatever that thing is that you hear in your head, there's always a bullshit story that plays around here.

Like, I'm not smart enough. I didn't get enough schooling. There's a million ways you can tell yourself you're a piece of shit. Pick the one that's most meaningful. And then just say it to yourself in the mirror and let yourself feel it. And then wherever that shows up, just ask it the question. What are you? Are you real? Where did you come from? And get curious about these things.

We tend to judge our negative emotions by calling them negative emotions. I don't think there's a positive or negative emotion. I can tell you for sure that I can remember the first time I ever was going to kiss a girl. I know exactly what that felt like. I also remember the first time I thought I was going to die.

So, you know, kind of butterflies in the stomach. That's where I get anxiety. That's where I feel it. So now I feel that, like, okay, what are you? Are you excitement? Are you fear? Are you anxiety? And generally I'll get an answer. Okay, where did you come from? And it'll say, well, you know, You're going on Chris's show. It's the biggest show you've ever been on, Nick. You sure?

This isn't what we're supposed to be doing yet. You should have 4 million followers before you go on that damn thing. By the way, this is a real iteration from this morning. And so as I kind of dealt with that today, that's how I take other people through it too, is just kind of learning to sit in the darkness.

The other thing that I really would stress is that there has never been a people pleaser I've ever met that was created in a vacuum. So getting around other people that are kind of dealing with this is vital. It's, and it's so much more fun because I, you know, I said it earlier, people pleasers are super interesting.
