If you do that once every four or five years, it'll eat that clog and it will open up your drain.

If you wake up every day and just dump Drano down your drain, it will eat through all of your pipes in your house.

And so it's not designed to be the lifeblood that flows through your plumbing system all the time.

And so same with...

These stress hormones, they're not designed to be your operating strategy.

And then when you run out of those, when you move on to four energy drinks a day and Adderall and maybe a little cocaine at night, like when you start buzzing through all these things to keep you going, going, going, the crash just gets bigger and bigger.

And I promise everyone listening that crash will come.

Our whole world is based on avoiding reality.

I'll pay that off later.

Our marriage is fine.

That's just how teenagers are.

I can eat this now and it'll be fine.

I don't have to exercise.

I'll just take this pill.

Everything is about avoiding reality.

The problem is your body is always solving for reality.

Your body knows that you're lonely and it would be failing you if it let you sleep all night knowing you don't have anyone to call in the middle of the night if you need something.

Your body would be failing you if your romantic partner walked through the front door.

Your body knows y'all are 6,000 miles apart from each other, even though you're both sitting on the same couch, you're just both scrolling Instagram on your own devices, right?

Your body would be failing you if you owe money to investors and you owe money to a mortgage and you owe money on a depreciating asset, which is the stupidest thing you can borrow money on, which is a car.
