Um, and it was me sitting, I was sitting on the Capitol steps at, um, here in Denver, um, On the mile-high step, there's a step right there that's a mile high, exactly. I like to go sit on that when I'm kind of thinking and It was there where I was like, okay, what am I believing about this? I'm believing if I don't show up, then I'm a piece of shit.

Like if I don't do this right, then it's going to be the last podcast I'm ever on. And then like, okay, how am I reinforcing that belief, Nick? Well, I'm sitting here pondering this over and over and over again and ruminating in my brain like a psychopath and having conversations with myself on the street like the other people that are around here. And it's not looking good for me.

Like they're probably going to lock me away. And then it was like, okay, well, you know, and these four questions have saved my life a million times. You know, what do I want to believe about this? Well, no matter what happens, I'll be okay. And I'm okay. Like, I don't have to be enough. I don't have to be good enough. I don't have to be bad enough. I just have to be okay.

And then what do I want to do? And it was, okay, well, I really want a piece of taffy and I want to have a Pellegrino and then I want to get on the show. and that's what I did. I just got myself in because my brain is going to tell me what I want. Your brain's actually really smart. You listen to it.

Um, and it was like, you know, let's have a piece of candy and, and relax and, you know, be a kid for 10 seconds and let's get on the show and have some fun with Chris and we'll see what happens. Um, Dr. Glover was funny about this. I told him I was coming on the show and I was afraid of it. Like, you know, and he says, um, what are you afraid of? I said, well, what have I screwed up?

And he goes, well, you're gonna, I'm like, oh, okay, great. So now what? He goes, listen, learn to laugh, have more fun, make mistakes and enjoy yourself. And that's what I'm doing. And I was able to do that by reaching out to, you know, my team, my men that I work with and to, you know, kind of talk myself through this danger zone. What are the other two questions?

You said that there was four questions that have got you through a lot of things. So the four questions are, so when you get that feeling where you're hunching forward, right? The first question is, what am I believing? So our beliefs drive our behavior, our behavior creates our environments. We need to be very careful about what we're believing, especially in a moment like that, right?
