It's interesting to talk a lot about mental health, but usually when people talk about mental health, they're talking about mental illness.

But in thinking about mental health, we haven't really defined what the parameters of mental health are.

I love it. So you've heard of the UTT.

So you've heard of the Uda Loop. Yeah Yeah so Boyd who was a fighter pilot you know developed

the concept super simple concept but it's describing what you're talking about and I

don't know if a lot of people are aware of that but the Uda loop is the observe orient

decide act but the observe and orient is internal like it's internal control it's

spatial awareness it's relaxed gaze it's seeing what happens in the four-dimensional space around you as a result of the

either the action you took or what's happening around you the stress input

right and then orienting yourself to that mentally, right?

Now in a martial arts, it might be,

it might be some sort of movement or centering

or grounding that's happening.

If you're in like a fight or something,

or for aerial combat, it might be positioned in the airplane slightly differently.

But then the third is decide right this is where you're clicking back into focus and you're just saying okay based upon my observation and the orientation

this is the next decision this is the next micro goal and then you take the action and then you immediately

soften back into the observation orientation.

And I think that's the thing that rarely gets discussed.

I'm so glad you mentioned that because I think people think, okay, you complete this four-step

operation and then it's like, and then you just, and then you just go like grab on and go and

it's like no it's the ability to reset maybe we can add another thing to the oulup
