And that would came from a cognitive distortion. And so that those journeys of dealing with these six domains of excellence are deeply personal. And I think of them as ways of what the first thing you have to deal with is how those things the absence of those domains are really holding you back how they're triggering and making you vulnerable first. And then you can get to the part where you start to bring them into your life because doing it the other

way

trying to bring them into your life without dealing with the triggers and the vulnerability

will continue to derail you.

So I had to stop and deal with the triggers and the vulnerability where I was missing and where the absence of those domains of excellence where they came from and to understand that.

But dad doesn't Papa Murphy's hand make the dough, hand grate the cheese and hand chop the toppings? Sounds like they make the pizza. But

I take it. I bake it to perfection so I make the pizza. Whatever. So long as it makes it into my mouth.

Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your own personal struggles with us. I'm sure it'll inspire

a lot of people listening to this episode. I'd like to really zoom in on the definition of these five vitamins of flourishing real quick. I wanted to go through this so we don't get some of the most essential information lost at all. So the learn one is about creating stories of self growth, following your curiosity to learn something new. Connection is building warm and trusting relationships. Transcendence, you call it transcend, which is the title of my book, Transcend the New Science of Self-Actualization.

Oh I did

not know

that. I did not know

that. God thank you. But I love that. That was probably my favorite part of your book. Help finding your purpose even in the mundane. I want to circle back to that in a second. And then play, which is the fifth vitamin of flourishing, which is I'm conflicted whether or not my favorite is transcend or play. But probably it's probably play. I'm stepping out of a time, stepping out of time, making time for activities where you enjoy the process, not the outcome. I want to circle back to the help one. I think there are a lot of times when we talk about purpose, we kind of feel like it's this, you know, like we're a loser if we don't have this big humongous calling in life. And I like to, you know, a lot of my students, right? Like they're like 19 years old and they're like, I'm a loser because I don't have a big calling yet. It's

like calm down. Isn't it

possible to satisfy this need for help just through small actions? You know, for instance, I feel better. I'll tell you a little bit about myself. Well, if I'm feeling down, I'd like just go to a coffee shop and I'd like to just be nice to people.

And I feel better. I just smile.

Let's say I smile, you know, at someone in a warm, caring way and they smile back and you're like, you know, that was put in a positive vibration in the universe that, you know, that, that, you know, I matter for even those small vibrations. Do

you agree? Yes.

And I think we over complicate purpose and we give people, if they're not solving

some world problem, that can't be a purpose.
