[00:00:00]There's bad stress in your life. We just want it to be pressure, not stress. And stress, I don't know if there's a great definition between the definition of pressure and stress, but I would say pressure you're working towards a goal of resolution and positivity. It's just hard. Stress is you don't know what the outcome's going to be. You don't know how it's going to be resolved and there's a lot of fear wrapped up into that. And so, I want you to get centered.

[00:00:24]Try not to get overwhelmed. If you're a teacher, you're overwhelmed. If you work for a public school, you're overwhelmed.

[00:00:28]I'm sorry. I mean, we're trying to work on getting your budgets increased, man.

[00:00:31]We really are.

[00:00:32]You know, but I want you to know that it's going to be all right. Your emotional responses are cool.

[00:00:37]Take a deep breath.

[00:00:39]Get centered and really the breathing works.

[00:00:43]Take three deep breaths.

[00:00:45]And then work to advocate. And you've got to you've got to make this habit.

[00:00:48]You've got to be exposed this over and over again to make thinking a habit and not your emotional responses.
