All right, well today's news facts and 25 01:00:50,625 --> 01:00:52,916 birthdays are for October 17th. 26 01:00:53,208 --> 01:00:55,708 Moving only back in 1989 today, you might 27 01:00:55,708 --> 01:00:56,750 remember this, a 28 01:00:56,750 --> 01:00:58,750 magnitude 6.9 earthquake. 29 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,375 Well, it struck California. 30 01:01:00,750 --> 01:01:02,041 And if you were live then when you were 31 01:01:02,041 --> 01:01:03,208 watching TV, perhaps the 32 01:01:03,208 --> 01:01:04,458 World Series, you'll remember 33 01:01:04,458 --> 01:01:05,583 that the TV stations, 34 01:01:05,583 --> 01:01:06,708 they captured it live. 35 01:01:07,166 --> 01:01:09,500 The World Series was halted right then 36 01:01:09,500 --> 01:01:10,458 and there on live TV 37 01:01:10,458 --> 01:01:11,750 and we saw some of these 38 01:01:11,750 --> 01:01:12,750 terrible pictures of 39 01:01:12,750 --> 01:01:13,708 the collapse of bridges. 40 01:01:14,416 --> 01:01:16,833 Then moving up to 1990, the number one 41 01:01:16,833 --> 01:01:19,250 movie was Ghost, reminding 42 01:01:19,250 --> 01:01:20,708 us that love, it literally 43 01:01:20,875 --> 01:01:21,666 never dies. 44 01:01:22,041 --> 01:01:23,500 And it also taught us just 45 01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:25,375 how steamy pottery can be. 46 01:01:25,916 --> 01:01:27,166 Well, if you know, you know. 47 01:01:28,041 -->

Rita Hayworth. 61 01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:53,666 All right, well, the number one song on 62 01:01:53,666 --> 01:01:55,208 this date back in 1989 63 01:01:55,208 --> 01:01:57,708 was Miss You Much by Janet 64 01:01:57,750 --> 01:01:58,208 Jackson. 65 01:01:58,875 --> 01:02:01,125 Now, this is a dance pop powerhouse that 66 01:02:01,125 --> 01:02:01,875 topped the Billboard 67 01:02:01,875 --> 01:02:03,416 Hot 100 for four weeks. 68 01:02:03,916 --> 01:02:06,000 And the song's rhythm, its choreography 69 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,291 and its message of love 70 01:02:07,291 --> 01:02:09,125 and motion, well, it defined 71 01:02:09,125 --> 01:02:11,750 her Rhythm Nation album that had four, 72 01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:12,750 count them, four number 73 01:02:12,750 --> 01:02:13,750 one hits on it, including 74 01:02:13,791 --> 01:02:15,791 Escapade, Black Cat and 75 01:02:15,791 --> 01:02:17,500 Love Will Never Do Without You. 76 01:02:18,041 --> 01:02:18,791 Man, just hearing those 77 01:02:18,791 --> 01:02:19,833 take me back to the 90s. 78 01:02:20,333 --> 01:02:22,375 All right, well, for our Friday book 79 01:02:22,375 --> 01:02:23,500 review, we are diving 80 01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:25,166 into the sub chapter Hacking 81 01:02:25,333 --> 01:02:27,166 Your Stress Response in Mel 82 01:02:27,166 --> 01:02:28,791 Robbins, The Let Them Theory. 83 01:02:29,125 --> 01:02:31,208 Now, in this section, Robbins treats 84 01:02:31,208 --> 01:02:32,583 stress like software, 85 01:02:32,958 --> 01:02:34,291 something that you can debug. 86 01:02:34,666 --> 01:02:36,750 She says, quote, you can't remove stress 87 01:02:36,750 --> 01:02:37,750 from your life, but you 88 01:02:37,750 --> 01:02:39,458 can reprogram how you run 89 01:02:39,458 --> 01:02:40,083 it, end quote. 90 01:02:40,833 --> 01:02:42,916 So her approach, it's surprisingly 91 01:02:42,916 --> 01:02:44,916 scientific, yet it's simple. 92 01:02:45,625 --> 01:02:47,916 Stresses your body's accelerator, but you 93 01:02:47,916 --> 01:02:49,583 can control the steering wheel. 94 01:02:50,041 --> 01:02:52,333 When that adrenaline hits, instead of 95 01:02:52,333 --> 01:02:53,708 panicking, she suggests 96 01:02:53,708 --> 01:02:55,333 reframing it as excitement. 97 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,166 Now, this mental shift, it rewires your 98 01:02:58,166 --> 01:02:59,500 nervous system towards 99 01:02:59,500 --> 01:03:01,000 courage rather than collapse. 100 01:03:01,750 --> 01:03:03,791 And Robbins explains that our automatic 101 01:03:03,791 --> 01:03:05,125 fight or flight mode was 102 01:03:05,125 --> 01:03:07,000 never designed for modern 103 01:03:07,083 --> 01:03:09,416 pressures of emails, deadlines, or 104 01:03:09,416 --> 01:03:10,791 difficult conversations. 105 01:03:11,583 --> 01:03:14,041 And using mindfulness, breathing, and 106 01:03:14,041 --> 01:03:15,833 reframing techniques, she 107 01:03:15,833 --> 01:03:17,541 helps us, quote, hack that 108 01:03:17,625 --> 01:03:18,916 instinct and choose 109 01:03:18,916 --> 01:03:21,250 curiosity instead of fear. 110 01:03:21,541 --> 01:03:23,583 So her message here is empowering, okay? 111 01:03:24,083 --> 01:03:26,458 When you stop resisting stress, it 112 01:03:26,458 --> 01:03:29,166 transforms from enemy to ally. 113 01:03:29,458 --> 01:03:32,791 Quote, energy used wisely creates motion 114 01:03:32,791 --> 01:03:34,500 instead of a meltdown, end quote. 115 01:03:35,166 --> 01:03:37,000 Okay, here is your Friday takeaway. 116 01:03:37,583 --> 01:03:39,625 You can't delete stress, but you can 117 01:03:39,625 --> 01:03:41,333 redesign your response to it. 118 01:03:41,750 --> 01:03:44,541 So go ahead, take your mulligan wherever 119 01:03:44,541 --> 01:03:45,458 it makes the most 120
