and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tankard or a stein or a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with you…
← Previous segment →at do you think of my new habit of reading you a new reframe from my book every morning? Do we like that? Do you want another one?
All right. All right. All right. I'll give you one. Here's one I find very helpful. You'll find this helpful in keeping your mental health stable.

hts come in, you just say, "Get out. Get out." Like you're talking to your own brain, and you just say, "Get out. Get out. Get rid of that. Get out." And you'll be amazed that it works. Look at all the people in the comments who have already tried it. Yeah, it's... if you ask me why it works, I'm not sure I can tell you, but experientially it works. Works for me and a bunch of other people have t…
