0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	Triumph 111 Lewis. Welcome to the program. Hello. Hello. Thank you for taking my call. I couldn't believe all training was to get through that fast.
0:21.0	Well, you'd like I can put you on hold. Can you hear me? Yes. What can I help not what you put me at home? Okay, good. What can I help that was a joke.
0:32.0	I've been married for 25 years. I have four children and I have had an explosive temper most marriage and even prior to marriage.
0:46.0	And with COVID, it seems that I'm even more short to use than normal.
0:53.0	And I just heard you talking on the radio about, you know, issues with past life or past parenting and want to be man up or something you were just talking to someone about.
1:04.0	And I'm trying to find the stem of the problem and with COVID, obviously counselors and assistant and psychiatrists are hard to come by these days because everybody's doing it.
1:15.0	You don't need therapy to make a difference today. You need to meditate.
1:25.0	You need to meditate and there are apps go to the app store. There's like head space. There's calm.
1:33.0	There are a whole bunch of these wonderful meditation places that start two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five, get up to 15, 20, a half an hour. If you did that now, you would change now without having to find out the core of your anger.
1:52.0	And that sounds like a great idea and I never thought I could do that. But I'll definitely give it a try. What is there? No, see, trying is failing in advance.
2:06.0	Trying is failing and quitting in advance. That's why I don't entertain the word trying here. We either make a commitment and do it or we don't do it.
2:16.0	No, I'm going to do it because the kids are, I won't say afraid of me and I've never struck anybody, but I've broken things and I can't keep doing this. It's dangerous for my health, my family.
2:30.0	I'm going to fix this. I have to fix this.
2:33.0	Okay, where are you now?
2:36.0	I'm driving home from one city to another city.
2:40.0	I see.
2:42.0	Okay, I'd like you to pull over.
2:48.0	Tell me when you're parked.
2:51.0	I'm good. I'm just pulled over because I got off on my off-ramp because I felt the need to do that anyway.
2:57.0	Okay, lock the car.
3:01.0	Because I don't know what city you're in.
