So for instance, something I give to a lot of my clients is we call it like the emotional weather forecast. You know, when... the first part of this is they've got to really know themselves.

And that's something that we see in 12 step a lot where though we hear if, if, you know, people identify their character defects, not everybody I know is familiar with 12 step, but that's one of the, but as part of identifying your defects, you're also identifying your virtues, right? Just like a balance sheet. You want to know your liabilities and your assets. And sometimes those things are

sometimes they change. And it's something that's a liability in this situation might be an asset in this situation, right? Like if uncontrolled anger and violence in my home when my kids do something wrong, and I'm not doing this, but it is a liability. If my family's attacked, it's an asset, right?

know myself. And that can be through a process of sharing with others. And in 12 Step, that's how they do it. We do it in therapy all of the time to kind of know who I am. You know, actually, there's a line in one of the AA literature that Bill Wilson wrote, and he gives a definition of humility.

And it goes something like this, that humility is an honest recognition of who and what we've become, followed by a deep desire to become who we can be. And it's not about like that I'm all bad. It's just to note it, to, to, to recognize who I am. If I don't know where I'm starting, I can't know just like finding directions.

If I asked, you know, to get directions to the studio and your team started giving me directions from over the Canyon, but I was, you know, South of here, they're going to give me the directions to turn left on this road and right on this. And I'm going to, I'm not going to know how to get there. I'm not, I'm going to be disoriented. I'm going to feel lost.

It starts with really knowing where I am, who and what I am. And from there, then we can start to build a life. So one of the things I give people a lot is once they kind of understand these assets and liabilities of theirs, to look at each day ahead and say, first we start off with gratitude. You know, it kind of gives a mindset. And gratitude just isn't about being thankful for things.

I really believe gratitude is meeting what is as it is. You know, that I always, when I give people this and when I practice it myself, I try at least to be one of the things I'm grateful for to be something that I'm challenged by. And not just to say, I'm going to learn a lesson from this, but I might not know what that is, but to really express gratitude for some challenge I'm having.
