So I have a daily meditation practice.

And one of the things that meditation does is it allows you metacognition.

And as Arthur Brooks writes about in his new book, this idea that when I'm in a meditative state,

there's a part of me that gets to float above and look down at my thoughts and go, oh, I'm not my thoughts.

And there's part of me that gets to look down and have feelings.

I'm like, oh, I'm not my feelings.

My reality is greater than my thoughts and my feelings and certainly greater than my body.

Yeah, please do.

I wake up in the morning, I look at a couple of emails and make my half-calf latte and my head is a beehive.

So it's just .

I need a practice to help me gain kind of perspective.

And I will also say that I have this beautiful little bench out in our backyard that's gorgeous.

We have an olive tree and some flowers and there's tons of hummingbirds out there.

And sometimes I'm trying to meditate, I just can't meditate for shit.

And so I just turn and I just witness

the beauty and majesty and wonder of the hummingbirds and the leaves and the trees and the wind and the light through the leaves.

Anne Lamott has a great book called Help, Thanks, Wow.

And those are the three prayers that you say.

You say, help, you know, God, help me.

Thanks, thank you, God, gratitude, and wow.
