And more than 1 cup of coffee in the morning is not an option for me. I recently started drinking these little green shots and love them! I usually drink them about an hour after lunch and no longer want to take an afternoon siesta! After 10 days, I’ve had fewer afternoon energy crashes. I learned this is due to the L-theanine inside the shot. We have a 20% off code to share for Magic Mind, it’s aslayer20.

0:42.0	along the way, but I thought that would be a good place for us to start.
0:46.1	What is the second arrow teaching and how that can hold us hostage to our looping anxious thoughts?
0:54.0	Yeah, it's something that really helped me when I first learned it and it served me very well over the years.
0:59.0	It comes from Buddhist psychology and the teaching is that we have the two arrows the first
1:06.0	arrow is is the fact of the situation so something hits us and it is what it is. The second arrow is what our mind brings in response to it or in

1:38.1	Am I going crazy? Will I always feel like this? No nothing's working for this, and I'm going to be stuck like this
