breakup, a divorce, a car crash, anything that creates massive pain. In that moment, you either
00:00:07.000
decide to spiral up or spiral down. Most people don't even see the difference because they're like,
00:00:12.900
I'm in a bad space. I need some time to recoup, et cetera, which is fine. I would just encourage
00:00:17.000
you to decide how much time do you need? Because after that amount of time that is normal, then
00:00:23.220
you're just staying in those feelings and you're spiraling down. Most people wake up one day and
00:00:28.040
they're 35 pounds overweight. They're lonely. They don't have any friends. They're working a
00:00:32.680
job they hate. And there was a day where that spiral down started, but they didn't know that
00:00:38.200
day. I'm always worried that that day could be today. So I'm always trying to figure out how do
00:00:42.300
I spiral up? And I think for a lot of people, especially when they get divorced, these are
00:00:46.020
moments where you have a blank slate opportunity to recreate yourself. Anybody that's ever moved

cities has felt that power of recreating yourself. That is a positive upward spiral in action.
