And so a couple of tips here I think is whether that's getting outside your physical space does matter. You mentioned, you know, kind of being trapped. If you're trapped in a boring room with four walls and no windows, your brain is kind of limited by that too. I find when I go out and walk in wilderness or get outside there's just something about having the infinite space above your head that focuses you in a way that you have to pay attention to to all 360 degrees around you rather than having that solid wall behind you. But people in prison have proven you can do the same thing in your mind. You can start writing or telling stories and expanding your mind outside of the box that it's in too. And I think exactly what you said. When you get out there and engage with other people and you take shots to expand your network to expand the types of ideas that you're getting, it changes your algorithm for life.
