If you wake up and you do the same thing, you have the same thoughts and Dr. Joe Dispenza, you know, talks about this a lot. You're going to end up with the same results. You're going to end up with the same life. If you're happy with that life, if you're happy being, you know, mediocre or average or negative, carry on. But sometimes you have to fight bad thoughts like your life depends on it because it does depend on it. Right. So having that awareness, catching yourself. It's like, hey, that was a really shitty thought. Or, you know, the annoying roommate. It's like, why are you being so negative? Why are you talking down to me? Which is you to yourself, really. Yeah, it's true. Getting rid of that roommate, evicting them has been huge. That's so good right there. And the awareness I think comes from practices like meditation and breathwork and going for a walk with no music, no podcasts, you know, even by yourself if you can, or with your dog or even with your kids.
