So habits are pretty interesting because we are creatures of habit. And so if you want to, like, why am I at this point, you know, in my life, most of where you are at comes down to these habits. It's easy to do, but easy not to do. And what kind of daily disciplines do you get? You know, do you create for yourself or do you get trapped? Now, bad habit elimination, that's a totally different framework. So right now we're just talking about kind of new habit creation. But it's really important for you to realize how important habits are in your life and that you are already a habit master. Right. And so a lot of times I will ask people, you know, okay, so I'll say, Dr. P, have you brushed your teeth in the last 24 hours? Of course I've brushed my teeth. Okay, that's good. That's good. And so how long you brush your teeth? That's a habit. How long.
