ever is happening with my paralysis. But the later might help with that if I ever get it scheduled. So that’s the update. I’d like to start with a reframe to change your life. As you know, the reframes in my book *Reframe Your Brain* change people’s lives with one sentence. Although each person is different, so the sentence that changes your life will be different than the one that changes somebo…

tell them you’re competing with them. Could be a coworker, could be a classmate or something, but you just tell yourself, “Okay, I’m going to beat that one. That one I’m going to beat.” And then you’ve got a target. You’ve got something specific. And you’re far more likely to accomplish something specific than something generic. Like everybody knows that, right?

So if you say, “I’m going to beat that person on that chemistry test,” even if they don’t know you’re competing, it’s going to help you compete. So that’s your reframe of the day. Good for young people especially.

All right, let me make sure I got all your comments. Yes, I do. Well, according to somebody named Lara Weed, best last name I could ever imagine, Lara Weed. Anyway, she’s a circadian research lab person from Stanford, so she knows what she’s talking about. And there’s a new study that says you shouldn’t change the time. You know how we do this standard versus daylight time. But here’s the new wrinkle. Changing the time is bad for people’s circadian rhythms and they have health problems and other problems. But it’s bad no matter how you change it. So if you stuck with daylight versus standard time, it would still be better than if you changed it twice a year. So it’s the change that’s the problem.

But on top of that, keeping things at standard time would be the least burden on your circadian rhythms. So at least according to one study, not that we trust science anymore, but something to talk about, that keeping it on standard time would be the healthiest. So we don’t know.

Well, according to Dr. Peter Diamandis, who I see on X, I follow on X, I guess chemo may be something that we won’t need anymore for skin cancer because there’s new research. Scientists say they can kill 92% of skin cancer cells usi

ng an LED light without damaging healthy cells. That sounds pretty good. What will Democrats say about the development of LED light to fight cancer? What will they say? Well, we already know what they’ll say. Democrats will say, “Why would you use household disinfectants and bleach to kill cancer?” And then I would say, “What? Nobody said anything about bleach.” “Yeah, you just said bleach will c…
