And I think regular structured practices

can really help us for instance keeping a gratitude journal yeah sounds really simple but if you do that every night just after you've cleaned your teeth and before and before you start reading your novel just write down three things that you're grateful for today it does over time

Switch your mindset to noticing the good things as well as the shit things.

Yeah.

I'm not not going to lie, but I like to once a week.

sit down, no devices.

I sit on the floor actually to keep myself awake.

No devices, sit on the floor back against the wall and have next to me a pencil and paper.

And any thought that comes in, I don't turn it into thinking.

I keep it as a thought, just write it down.

So it's sort of like, oh, I can hear clanking outside.

So any old random shit.

Any old random thought.

All right.

Oh, mustn't forget that.

Oh, let it go.

Let it go.

Any random thought.
