And what do I say to myself as the micromanager? See, they are idiots. I got to micromanage even more. It becomes this self-fulfilling prophecy all driven by an inaccurate or an incomplete paradigm. So to your question, with each habit, we start out with a paradigm. Habit one, be proactive. An ineffective paradigm might be, hey, this is just the way things are. There's not much I can do about it.

And I've been there before. I think we can drift into that. But a proactive or a highly effective paradigm is I am free to choose and I'm the one responsible for my choices. And if we take that paradigm on, then in Habit 1, there are three specific practices that we dive deep into with activities and rinse and repeat, as you say. We learn ways to separate stimulus from response.

We talk about what's the last time you were reactive and what did that feel like? What would be some better ways to respond? How do we learn to pause before we respond? And it might be as simple as I count to 10 or I do box breathing or whatever.

Or it might be something that I look at my last week and I look at those times I was reactive and I write down because those things are going to repeat themselves again and I want to be prepared. So there are activities like that that we do throughout the days. And they are – and I know I sound dramatic here, but I'm telling you from my experience – they are life-changing.

They are powerful where all of a sudden – I've got a long ways to go, but I think about just in that one habit how much more proactive I am today than I was when I started with Franklin Covey 29 years ago. So – They are tried and tested and true. I mean, let's stop and think about having the right undergarments.

Oh, that's a good visual. Yeah.

I'm not going to participate. I love that example. I'm going to borrow that if you don't mind. I love that. Please put it in the course. I'd love for you to do that. You just reminded me of one of the other activities. It sounds so simplistic. It is so powerful. We do this. We have participants write a I may not be able to statement. And so they have to write a statement.
