00:00I've noticed a few people recently including myself struggling a bit with depression and so

00:07I was going to tell you some things that have been helping me on tour and in general in hopes

00:15that maybe some of them might be good for you too. There's some drilling in the background,

00:20there's dogs barking, there's all kinds of chaos but that's life I guess. So the first thing I

00:25wanted to tell you was that there's a thing called free-form writing where you write for 12 minutes

00:32all your thoughts and then burn it or throw it away. That's very good. Transcendental meditation

00:39has been really wonderful for me. TM. We'll put links below all this stuff. There's a thing called

00:47proprioception which is kind of body movement to help balance your brain basically. There's a man

00:55called Jim Costello who did a thing called the Costello Method. That's very helpful especially

00:59for young people with ADHD or autism or things like that. The music of John Hopkins, music for

01:07psychedelic therapy is incredible. A book called The Oxygen Advantage, see all of this here, is great for

01:17breathing. Then movies are great. There's a movie called Sing Sing I love and there's a new artist

01:24called Chloe Keisha. Her music is making me happy. There's some people dancing over there, look.

01:34Practicing some, maybe dancing too. Anyway those are some of the things that are helping me to

01:40stay grateful and happy to be alive.
