Greetings, my friends. Michael Philip here. And sure, scientists are reportedly about to enshrine a sixth fundamental force of nature.

But what have muons ever done for your soft bits? That's what it's called, by the way, a particle called a muon is going to be the sixth fundamental force.

But I'll tell you what they've done. Not a damn thing. Sheath underwear, on the other hand, they, they are changing the situation, my friends, because they have invented underwear with an inner pocket that separates said bits into a comfort condo that you might not even know that you need, but trust me, you need it.

Or maybe you do know, in which case, get right on over to sheathunderwear.com forward slash third eye drops, because you can get 20% off anything in the store when you use that link.

And by the way, I often wear them without even using the options they provide, because they're super comfortable. They're the highest quality underwear I've ever owned.

Plus, I like knowing I have options. And then I have access to a secret inner pocket in case I need to do any last minute ruby smuggling. Don't smuggle gems, my friends.

Unless they're the flesh gems attached here, but I already regret saying that.

But hey, like I said, get 20% off by going to sheathunderwear.com forward slash third eye drops. And not that there are any females listening after the comment I just made, but she does make sensational ladies gear as well.

And if that's not enough, they sponsor third eye drops. What are you waiting for?

And now administering third eye drops.

Welcome back to the mind meld, my friends. As you've probably noticed, one of the things that human being seem to struggle with on a mass level.

Is keeping their emotions and check keeping their emotions out of their opinions out of their conversations and interactions on social media or any interaction for that matter.

I know I struggle with it all the time. I mean, think about it. This probably sounds familiar. You hear something that doesn't resonate with your beliefs.

Then you start to feel the beginnings of an emotional buildup traveling throughout your body and then your brain starts putting thoughts and arguments together in an effort to prove why your opinion is surely right and theirs is wrong.

And before you know it, you're slandering and blood cursing someone you into high school with that you probably never even like to begin with or whatever.

And I think there are a lot of reasons that we do this, but one of the more interesting ways I've heard it characterized recently is a lack of emotional fitness.

And this concept is actually a psychological phenomenon that's measurable and you can break it down into smaller pieces as well.

For instance, it encompasses things like emotional resilience, how much control we have over our emotions. And I think it's both fascinating and sad because it shines a light on the fact that all emotional states both positive and negative control

or not, conscious or unconscious are a matter of practice that is if your mind tends to drift into the negative or adversarial, it's because you've practiced that.

Same if you're a positive person for whatever reason, somehow you've practiced executing that positive mental reaction.

So it's both sad and beautiful. It's beautiful because you can actually mindfully shift these predispositions, these ways you tend to react.

And a way that I really love that I heard about recently is to pay attention to how many negative things you say versus how many positive things you say.
