ng? Of course it would. I guarantee it would make you happier. So yeah fix your physical exposure meaning go outside you know make sure that you're around some beauty and that you're not looking at depressing gray things. I would even change my commute if it took a few minutes to go through a more attractive place. If you're going to look at it every day it's better to expose yourself to the attractive route than the fast industrial route.

The other thing is I don't know if you've ever experienced this but unless you've got pretty serious mental problems I'll bet you're happy whenever your body feels good. Am I right? You know if you're a certain age you always got some aches and pains and you're too tired and whatever. But every now and then you'll have this experience where you got enough sleep and you don't have any special pain and you're just sitting in a chair feeling good. Do you think that makes you happy? Totally. Totally. So what you do with your body to make you feel good more often will absolutely affect your happiness. It will absolutely affect your anxiety. It will help all of that. And we know how to do that. You eat right which you can learn. You exercise right which you can learn. You know I always advise people to do it. Take it slow and just make it a continuous learning process. You know continuously learning what to eat continuously learning what exercises work best for your particular body. So it's more of a learning continuous learning thing. That's a good frame to put in.

Anyway if you can make your body happy because you exercise and it just feels good it'll make your brain happier. If you can look in the mirror because you exercise and ate right and you say to yourself huh I look pretty darn good for my age whatever your age is. Yes absolutely do that. It'll make you feel better.

So and then I'm going to leave you with one positive story here that I find very impressive. There's a gentleman that I follow on social media named King Randall. Now his first name is King. Don't judge him by that but he is a young I don't know how young but he's a younger man. And he runs a program where he teaches kids how to do practical things that especially if you're in an economically disadvantaged place you wouldn't know how to do and maybe you don't have a father. So he's black. Almost all or maybe all of the kids that he trains I think are black. But here's what I love about him. He teaches reframes. I don't know if he thinks of it that way but here's one that he talked about on social media. Part of what he teaches the kids is manners and etiquette. So there's a little video of some young black kids learning how to have a nice meal and handle the etiquette of that. And I guess he got some pushback from people saying that he was training them to act white or something. And his response was that manners are not about acting white. Manners are power. Manners are power. That's why you do it.

Now I have taught a few young people in my circle exactly that lesson. That's exactly what I tell people. If you suggest I'm thinking of my ex-stepson he was a part but when he was around if he wasn't doing things that good etiquette or manners suggested the way I would explain it to him I would say hold on you don't do manners because of how it makes you feel you don't do it because somebody told you to do it you know and I go through all the reasons that that's not why you do it. The reason you do it is power. Everybody wants to spend time with polite people. We want to hire them. We want to work with them. We want them to be our friends. We want to marry them. We want them to marry our family. It's power. And so when I see King Randall do that reframe on his kids if he's telling them that's how they succeed in life he is not focusing on race whatsoever. In fact I don't know if I've even heard him mention it. He doesn't really mention race. I'm sure he does sometimes but it's not really a focus. Here's what he focuses on instead. Personal strategies for success because manners are a personal strategy for success. It's not about your race. It would be exactly the same strategy for everybody. It just happens to be that he's working with a particular demographic but it would be the same for everybody. I would love that to be universal.

So then if this were not awesome enough he also teaches them things like how to change a tire how to change the oil in a car and it's a long list of things that he teaches them. And oh my god it's a strategy for life. Instead I used to go to Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts I guess. Cub Scouts. And Cub Scouts they say to earn this badge learn how to carve a leather coffee coaster or something. Completely useless skills just to get a badge. That's not a strategy for life. It was just a waste of time really. But if you're learning real things that you will need to do in your real life that's a strategy. And so he's teaching these kids strategy for success.

But then just to make it even wilder how smart he is King Randall. He started organizing a very early morning run in his city. And he got like 100 people to show up or 50 to show up the first time. And then they all had a good time because they were outdoors and they did a thing where they were with other people who were like-minded and were
