share them and um i love to see that too so you know keep looking for things on my feed i know it's sometimes hard with the algorithm because it's not necessarily friendly to how i post but um you know i i'm feeling really good right now actually and i'm sure there'll be ups and downs but um right now i would just say i'm feeling a lot of gratitude for everything that scott gave us and also just everything the community is giving giving us right now i agree um

Yeah, Locals people are still better people, though.

Sure.

Happy birthday.

All right.

Well, I can get started with some science news.

There's an interesting one here that'll probably, I don't know how you're going to react to this one.

It says positive thinkings may help you get more out of your vaccines.

So apparently, if you have positive thinking when you get vaccines, you have more of an immune response to it.

Um, they did a study with, you know, people split into groups and they had one of them using positive thinking and they ended up having a better immune response.

Um, I, I know a lot of you have a different views about vaccines, so maybe you want to use your negative thinking depending on what you're going for, if you're getting a vaccine, but, um,

It does seem like the lessons Scott taught us about your body is your brain and your brain is your body is very applicable here.

But the way you think about things makes a difference.

I know that's come up a number of times in Scott's talks about how there's the placebo effect and there's the opposite, which is the nocebo effect, where if you believe something works, it'll probably have some effect on you, even if it's just a sugar pill and nothing at all.

And if you have the opposite, that you think something's not going to work, it's more likely not going to work, or it might even be more likely to have side effects and things.

So how you think about something has...

a big impact.

So just keep that in mind as you're going through these medical treatments or not going through these medical treatments and trying things out and maybe even take advantage of the placebo effect if you think it might help you.

The interesting thing I remember about some of these stories about the placebo effect is even if you know that it's a placebo effect, even if you know that, it still works.

Um, which is pretty amazing, but I think it is kind of like this hypnosis sort of idea that Scott has used that doesn't matter.
