Hi, Ed, you are the King of Great questions. Optimism is so important in performance. It actually has a histochemical effect inside of us. So my favorite go-to to build positivity is keeping a gratitude list that is writing down three things. I am grateful for every single day. And the most important rule of gratitude is making sure that every time I acknowledge something I'm grateful for. It's a unique item and soon you start to be looking for the good in your life. And all the irritations and subtle. Vibrations, that get under our skin. Just go to the go to the Wayside because we're looking for the good to power us through our day. Keep up the good work.

Great question. A lot of what I do is get people to First focus on, you know what they want, you know? So, get the goals in order and then we focus on the things that we can actually control. I think a lot of times people get into limiting mindsets because they're focused on things that are outside of their control. So it's really, really important and it seems so simple, but a lot of this work is really simple. It's reminding ourselves. As you know, that we are in control but we're in control of little things rather than big things. And so I think that's really an important part of, just the consistency of going back and asking yourself. Do I have control over this that I'm thinking about, right? Seems so simple but that's what this work is. I like to say power hides in the obvious. So I hope that helps

Hi it. You're right. It is a heavy lift. It's not always easy to think just positive and forgot all the negative things around us from our past and also something you were scared maybe into the future the back take best technique for that would probably be just dwelling on your successes from the past looking forward for something which is happening in the future. Just trying to forcefully kind of Concentrated thinks which are positive in your life. It can be great. Weather like sunshine and blue skies. It can be successes of your kids at school at their sporting events. It can be something which really worked well for you in the past. I think, even even social media can be good for that where you share something which really worked well for you. And then, you know, you can go over some comments. And like sand and enjoy that something really worked. And people are acknowledging it. So try to concentrate on things which happened well in your life and and Page would turn you as positive as possible, but it's always, not always possible. Of course.
