It's impossible because you are— you're doing this, and what with the smile and the high five gesture, it honestly changes so much. And, you know, over time, this will just you'll experience positive reinforcement in a way that you— that affirmations and things don't do, um, and it will control— it will really help you with long-term mindset, um, and, uh, and that kind of change.
