J.T.N.L.L.O. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra homes the program with Grounded in Glendale. One way to describe Jell-O, ladies and gentlemen, would be to say it's a dessert that makes everybody sit up and take seconds. Because Jell-O is a grand tempting treat that always looks and tastes like more. The clear glowing colors of Jell-O carry a rich invitation, a promise of rare delight. And it's a promise that's always fulfilled by Jell-O's swell, refreshing flavor. We're sure you like Jell-O, sure that once you try it. So start serving Jell-O real soon. Ask your grocer for several packages, choosing any or all of Jell-O's six delicious flavors, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. By the way, strawberry and raspberry Jell-O both have a new, improved flavor. Obtained by using a natural flavor base, artificially enhanced. And the result is a rich, unique goodness that is better than ever. Serve Jell-O tomorrow, friends, and discover for yourself why Jell-O is America's favorite Jell-Oton dessert. Mr. Gore, where is he? He just went in the other room to talk to his riders. Oh boy, is Jack burned up? Well, them two guys get away with murder. They never have a program writ till the last minute. Well, I'm going in to see what's happening. Gee, he's always having trouble with his riders. Now look, fellas, if I told you once, I told you five times. You've got to have the program written before we go on the air. Every week, we just barely make it. Now today, look what happened. No script at all. Well, what are you worried about? Yeah, it's only Friday. It's not Friday. It's Sunday.  I knew this would happen someday. Well, we were stuck this week. We didn't have no inspiration. Oh, you didn't. Don't yell at me. I'll fly to pieces. I'm just asking you to work. That's all. I'm paying you to work. And that's another thing. We want more dough. Well, you certainly picked the right time to ask me. You're getting plenty now. What do you want more dough for? We want to get a room tonight. Fine team of riders I've got. I've been looking for you all week. Where were you? Hot spring. You're not supposed to be in Ceboba. You're supposed to be here with me. Come on, Jack. We're waiting for you. Be there in a minute. Now look, fellas. Hey, who's the dame? That's Mary Livingston. She's on the program. You've met her 400 times. Oh, yeah. That's the girl we write for, Eddie. You're Eddie. I'm Bill. Two dreamboats alone. I told you, Mary. I'll be there in a minute. OK. I guess I can. Meanwhile, you stay right here and prepare some kind of a play for us. OK. Say, how about a murder mystery? A murder mystery? You know, where a guy comes home and finds his wife in the arms of another man. Door opens. Now I got you. Why, Julius, what are you doing here? You know what I'm doing here. I didn't go to Tarzan at all. Why, Julius? I told you yesterday. Oh, no. I gave it back to you. Yeah, but after that, I put it here. You have no broadcast. What's the matter, Jack? You having trouble with your writers again? Yes. On every week, they're getting lazier. Now tonight, no material at all.  He can't. They dug up a photograph of Jack when he was in third grade. What's wrong with that? He was the only kid with a handlebar mustache. Oh, it was just a fuzz. You could hardly see it. Anyway, that picture has nothing to do with my writers. If this ever happens again, I will fire them. What are you worried about, Jackson? If you ever get stuck for material, I'll be glad to let you have my author. Your author? Yeah, the guy that writes all my funny stuff for the Wilshire Bowl. Oh, fine. Phil, you're always bragging. No, you're always bragging about your writer. I've been to the Bowl a thousand times and I've never seen them. Who do you think parks your car? Oh, so that's your gag, man, huh? Well, the next time he points at my Maxwell and says, that does it, I'm going on the wagon. I'll run right over. Say, Dennis. Yes, please? Dennis, as long as we're stuck here, how about doing your song right away? Well, why don't you and I ad-lib a little? To and fro. To and fro, eh? All right, Dennis, let's ad-lib. I'll start it. Who was that lady I saw you with last night? That was no sore. That was a bat-lack. Well, I think you better sing, Dennis. At least it'll be better than standing around. Come in. Special delivery for Mary Livingston. Right here, boy. Give him a tip, Jack. Here you are, buddy. Say, you're rather old for a messenger boy, aren't you? You ain't going to get the mumps any more yourself, Bob. He sent tip. You gave him a time. I gave him a quarter. I know what I gave him. Who's the letter from, Mary? It's from my mother in Plainfield. Well, it's the one time I'm glad to hear from the old lady. Yes, sir. What's it got to say, Mary? Listen to this. My darling daughter, Mary, just a few lines to say hello and thank you for the small check you sent me for Christmas. It looked like a refund from the gas company. Boy, is she mercenary. By the way, Mary, we have a new address now. We had to move from the old house on Elm Street as the landlord, who was engaged to your sister, found his glasses. I mean, I thought your sister was very good looking. She has beautiful skin. Yes, but there's too much of us. Oh, I see. The weather's been awful lately.  Now he only has two. More things happen to your relatives. And Mary, I must tell you about New Year's Eve. The whole family. Mary, we had enough of that letter. How about a song, Dennis? OK. The whole family went to the midnight show of Jack's new picture. Mary, we've had enough. Oh, hold it, Dennis. What was that, Mary? The whole family went to the midnight show of Jack's new picture, Love Thy Neighbor. Well. We weren't in the theater 10 minutes when your brother, Howard, was thrown out for taking the title seriously. He's just the type. No more news, so we're closed with love to all from your mother, Smiley Franking Livingston. Wish he had a program so I could write her a letter. Well, let's have your song, Dennis. I'm going out to see how my writers are coming along. If they're stalling, I'm going to get them. He is, but we can't write them down. Why not? I gave you a pencil. Yeah, but there ain't no lead in it. Oh, there ain't no lead in it. Give me that pencil. Look, fellas, you turned this little knob here and now comes the lead. It's an automatic pencil. Oh, yeah. Look, Bill, you turn this knob and the lead comes out. Say, that's good. Let me turn it. No, I want to turn it. Come on, just one. I've turned it.  Now, please write that mystery. Play, will ya, fellas? OK. That picture I'll fire him so fast. Well, Don, it'll be a few more minutes yet. What do we do? I don't know what to talk about. Me neither. Why don't we talk about currents and events? You mean current events. The president's new deficiency appropriation bill. Anything Wilkie does is OK with me. I'm here with you anyway. Well, I got to laugh. All right, Jackson, why don't you hire me for a writer? Because I hired you once for a band leader, got gypped, and I'm disillusioned. No, I guess we'll just have to stall around until my boys get that play written. See, if this was television, you could take your teeth out and make like Popeye. It's very funny. Remember when you dropped him at the hockey game in New York and the Rangers made a goal with him? Harry, that wasn't my teeth. That was my cigarette case. Sure grins, don't it? All right, there's no use trying to keep this up. I'm going to see if my writers have got anything. I'll take it. Hello? Hello, Mr. Benny, this is Rochester. Rochester, I can't talk to you now. Well, this is important, boys. It's about Mr. Billingsley, our boarder. Mr. Billingsley, what about him? Well, I've been telling you for months to get rid of him. He's getting crazier every day. Oh, he's just a little odd, that's all. Odd or even, call the wagon. What's he done now? Mechanical man. Oh, you mean that robot? Yeah, remember you said it would never be practical? What's the robot doing in the kitchen? He's making himself a sandwich. Sir, this is no time for joking. I don't want that big mechanical thing roaming around my house. Aren't there any buttons to control it? Yeah, there's 20, knock you down.  I see, well, what happens when you press the third button? He goes, whoa!  Now look, Rochester, I'll be right home after the broadcast. In the meantime, don't go near the kitchen. I'm calling from San Diego. Mechanical man would work. Well, I guess I'll have to raise Mr. Billingsley's rent. He's got a roommate now. Play something, Phil. I'm going in and beat the gags out of my writer. Page, that word is murderer, not moiderer. Well, a gangster would say moiderer. I'm not a gangster. I'm a police captain. Read your own script. Now, fellas, it's time for our play, so I'll take what you got and bring the rest in as soon as you can. Give me those pages. Please give me those pages. All right, please. Centrate, will you, fellas? Fine thing. Drama on the installment plan. Well, how does it look, Jack? Are we going to do a play tonight? Yeah, but we'll have to do it without a rehearsal. Here are your parts, kids. Now, let's see. I'm going to be Captain O'Benney of Police Headquarters. And Dennis, you'll be my assistant, Sergeant O'Day. Oh, thanks. Oh, welcome. Now, Mary, you're going to be the widow, Mrs. J. Malcolm Smith. The widow? Yes.   Why, does the yacht leak? No, you're loud. You're husband. Now, let's see. Phil, Phil, you'll be the family physician.  Bugler? Oh, they must mean butler. You're the butler, Don. Well, so much for casting.  The hero will present an original mystery drama entitled, The Murder of Malcolm Smith, or, although he wasn't grafted, he was drilled. Say, that's not a bad title. I think I'll get the boys a room tonight. Well, let's go, fellas. The opening scene is the office of Detective Cap and O'Benny at police headquarters. Curtain, Uzi. Hey, Sergeant O'Day. Yes, cop? That's Cap. Did you answer the burglar alarm at the First National Bank? Yes, sir. Well, were there any suspicious characters around? No, the furniture movers told me they hadn't seen anybody. Furniture movers? Yes, two fellas were the safe. Those were the burglar. What's the matter with you, anyway? I'll take it. Hello, police headquarters. Hello, this is Mrs. J. Malcolm Smith talking. Yes? My husband, J. Malcolm Smith, wealthy stockbroker of New York, Palm Beach, Miami, air to the millions left by his father, has been killed. That's shocking news, Mrs. Smith. Are you sure your husband is dead? Definitely. I will be there in five minutes. Goodbye. What's up, Chief? Wait till I hang up. J. Malcolm Smith, the stockbroker, has been murdered. What's the J for? Jazzbow. He sold neckties on the side. Come on, let's get going. This is an important case, Sergeant O'Day. And we're going to find the murderer of J. Malcolm Smith, or, or, or what? Or nothing, we're all out of script. Hey, fellas, hurry up with the rest of this, will you? Play something, Phil. We even finished the sentence. Hold it, Phil. There's a few more pages, Jack. Thanks. Now go back and get to work. We got a union. We're going out to eat. Not until you finish the script. OK, blue eyes. Even my writers notice them. Now let's see. Oh, yes. This is an important case, Sergeant O'Day. And we're going to find the murderer of J. Malcolm Smith, or my name ain't Captain O'Bennie. Heck, I could have thought of that myself. Let's go. I'm Captain O'Bennie of police headquarters. We're here to investigate the murder of J. Malcolm Smith. Yeah, J. Quiet, you. Where's Mrs. Smith? She's in the library. This way, sir. Come along, O'Day. You stick with me and make notes. How do you get the lead out of this pencil? Look, you turn this little knob, and now comes the lead. You're as bad as my two writers, mink and schmink. Pardon me. Are you Mrs. J. Malcolm Smith? Yes, Captain. Tell me what you know about the murder of your husband. Well, we were sitting here in the library, listening to the radio. When all of a sudden, I turned around, and there was my husband on the floor with five bullet holes in him. You're lying. Here's the body. And he only has one, two, three. He was only shot. One, two, three, four times. Now count them. Give me that dagger, and I wish my writers would concentrate. Five gunshots. Make a note of that, O'Day. O'cock, K. O'cock, Cap. O'cock, Coupe. O'cock, Cap. Cap, Coupe, Cap. I, Mrs. Smith, I want the truth. You really hated your husband, didn't you? You hated him. No, no, I loved him. I loved him. I tell you, loved him.  He was always saying, long time no see. Don't be flippin', Mrs. Smith. You killed your husband, and I know why.  Because? Oh, fine. We're stuck again. All right, Bill. All right, boys. Come on. Some more pages. Here you are, Chum. Thanks. So, Mrs. Smith, you murdered your husband because there's another man in the cage. Now tell me, who's your lover? Who is he? Well, what's going on here? Hello, darling. Hello, dear. Ah-ha, the other man. What's your name? My card, sir. Dr. Philo Harrison, FC. What's the FC for? Physician and surgeon. Also, full of corn, and I like that better. I don't think you're a doctor at all. Where did you study medicine? Medicine, Wisconsin. I thought, now come clean, you.  Why's that ridiculous? Preposterous. Incredifant. Sanifo. Cudifem. Relcifem. You two are responsible for the murder of J. Malcolm Smith. And you're under arrest. You can't arrest us. You can't prove we did it. Oh, yes, I can. I know your motive. You killed Mr. Smith because? Oh, nuts. Ladies and gentlemen, while we're waiting for the finish of this thrilling murder mystery, why don't you run down to your neighborhood grocer and ask him for a package of jello. And if you'd like a copy of Jello's wonderful new calendar of desserts recipe book, just send a dime, 10 cents, to Don Wilson Battle Creek, Michigan. Be sure to do it today. Hey, fellas, we're stuck again. Hey, I, chum. All right, let's finish this. I know your motive, Dr. Harrison. You killed Mr. Smith because you're in love with his wife. That's the truth now, isn't it? No. No, I didn't do it. I didn't kill him. Oh, yes you did.  And you're going to hang for us. All right. I'll confess. I did it. I killed him. I killed him because I hated him.  It ain't believable anyhow. Play, Dr. If you haven't yet said it for your copy of that brand new recipe book, The Calendar of Desserts, do so real soon. It's a beautiful-looking book that you'll find a pleasure to own. And let me show you how downright convenient it is to you. Suppose, for example, that you're trying to think of an idea for tomorrow night's dessert. With this new recipe book, you'd simply open it to the pages that contain dessert suggestions for January. And there, under January 13th, you'd read about a delightful jello treat called Raspberry Charlotte, a combination of luscious raspberry jam and rich crimson raspberry jello. That's all there is to it. You simply name the date, and this clever book suggests the dessert. There are 365 dessert ideas in this swell book, a different one for every day in the year, including all kinds of pastries, puddings, cakes, and cookies, and many, many desserts made with bright, shimmering jello. So send for your copy now. Mail $0.10, just $0.10 in Coroner stamps to me, Don Wilson, care of General Foods Battle Creek, Michigan. Do it tonight. The last number of the 15th program in the current jello series, we will be with you again next Sunday night at the same time. Say, boys, but next week, please try and have the program ready before we go on the air. OK. Hello, Ma. Good night. What can I do? Good night.


Hi, my name is Tabitha Hilliard and I just received my notification letter about a week or two ago regarding the Global Impact Scholarship and I just wanted to extend my gratitude and thank the Student Awards Scholarship Committee as well as Dr. Harlan for awarding me this scholarship for the fall in 2023. I'm really excited to put it to good use and it's going to really help me pursue my studies in the program. I only have 5 classes left so I'm taking a course in summer and fall and then I'll just have 3 left before my time with San Jose comes to an end. So thank you again so much for your selection. I really, really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Bye bye.


In this video, we provide the solution to question number two from the practice exam number two for math 1050. We're given this absolute value equation. The absolute value of two sevenths x plus three fourths is all equal to one and we need to solve this equation. Well, whenever you have an absolute value equal to something, we have to check the sign on the other side. If you have absolute value equal to some negative number like negative two, you'd end up with no solution. If you have absolute value equal to zero, you'd only end up with one solution in that situation. So we would handle those exceptional cases if they occurred. In this situation, we just have absolute value is equal to a positive one. And so to remove the absolute value, we have to consider both the positive and negative case. So we get two sevenths x plus three fourths is equal to plus or minus one, right? I can actually consider both of these cases in tandem here. We're going to subtract three fourths from both sides of the equation. This then gives us two sevenths x is equal to negative three fourths plus or minus one, for which as you do have to ultimately add these together or subtract them, I'm going to rewrite the one as a four over four. Thus this becomes negative three plus or minus four over four. Again, just for convenience later on. To solve for x, then we would times both sides by seven halves, the reciprocal of the coefficient there. So we do that on the other side as well, seven halves like so. And so we end up with seven times negative three plus or minus four all over four times two is eight. Now we're at the point which we really can't go any further without actually considering the two cases. So we have these two cases. We have the addition in the subtraction of seven times negative three plus four over eight, and then we have seven times negative three minus four all over eight. In the first case three, that is four minus three, that can be one, one times seven is seven. So we end up with a seven eighths as one of the solutions. And then on the second one, you're going to get negative three minus four, which is a negative seven, like so, seven times negative seven gives us a negative 49 still over eight. And so we see that the correct answer then would be choice E.


Hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson from Aritaid Throws Nation, Throws Coach extraordinaire, creator of the throwing chain reaction six pillar training system. And in today's video, we are gonna bring you TCR Throws newsletter tip. And we're gonna talk about a distance killer. Okay, so today, one of the common things we talk about, you're gonna be seeing actually coming out part of our new TCR method, 12 week coaching program. One of the bonuses you're gonna get is something called do's don'ts and distance killers. And today, what you're gonna see is a video and I'm gonna talk about a distance killer. Now, do's don'ts and distance killers just so you kind of pay attention, obviously kind of sounds like what it is. There's certain things you wanna do. There's certain things that you don't really wanna do. You can maybe do and maybe have some success with, but it's not optimal. And then there are things that are absolute distance killers. Last week, if you didn't see last week's video, be sure to go through your email check for that. But last week, we sent out the email that talks specifically about how to block if you put your foot to the parallel to the toe board, it's training athletes to open up the upper body. It creates this vicious problem and it takes so long to correct it. Good friend of mine who's coaches at the college level, coached at the Olympic Games, he's coached tons of successful high school throwers. He made a really good point one time. It's like takes a hundred reps to learn it right. It takes a thousand to unlearn that wrong pattern, right? So it takes a hundred times to do it right. Thousand times to unlearn it. And that is literally like pretty close. Sometimes it takes even more. To get an actual thousand reps in, you have to recognize it takes a lot of time. So that's my setup. You don't wanna do certain things. They're absolute distance killers.  So today, we're gonna talk about that. This is something, as we went across the country this summer, this is something I see year in, year out, every single throws camp we do. And one of the things that we do at our throws camps that if you've ever been, I do ask these questions. And I ask basically the questions that are in the do's, don'ts and distance killers. How many of you learn this? And there are things as we go from the power position to the middle of the throw, to the start of the throw, to the sweep leg, to the block arm, everything there are these really bad things that are just constantly passed down. Okay, so I'm going and you're like, dude, I get it, like just get to it. Okay, so here we go. One of the things we're gonna talk about today is the chest up cue. Now, I know very successful coaches that talk about getting the chest up. Now, one of the key things though is how you get the chest up. Do you want the chest up at the finish? That's a very important question. And the answer is 100%. You absolutely want the chest elevated at the finish. Notice when I'm showing you in this video, see where I come kind of in. If I'm here, if I come forward, that's no good. But if I'm here, now watch when I try to consciously get the chest up. This extra piece is too much. And if I'm rotating and I get the chest up, the rotation stops.  My chest is up, see the logo, right? If I'm here, now if I think, get my chest way up and then I turn, I'm gonna turn and I'm gonna usually deliver the discus like this or I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna get here in the shot and I'm gonna lift and I'm not gonna be able to really come through. I wanna have the chest up by pushing the hip so my chest is here and I'm gonna be able to strike that shot or pull that discus. So let me just elaborate on that quickly because what I want you to do is if you're an athlete being coached on this queue, you wanna understand what the chest up, what's the right position and what's the distance killer. And the distance killer is actively trying to do this.   Absolutely, you want your chest nice and tall.  Of course not. So there's this fine line of where the right technical window is and where the wrong distance killing window or strength killing position comes in. Think of a power position like a front squat. You want the chest up, but you don't want the chest so far up that as you descend, you would fall back in a front squat. So the same principle, if I'm rotating and my chest comes up, I basically stop the rotation. I go up and rotation stops wherever I start to align the chest up. That's what we wanna be really careful of. That's the distance killer. Do we want the chest up? Yes, we always train. When we're driving, we work the legs properly and turn the hip.  The shoulders are on top of the hips on all your elite throwers. There is an angle where the chest is up, but we are not consciously throwing the chest up. Remember, this is what it looks like and just because somebody 40 years ago was using PEDs and not the ones that are on our system, right? And they could do amazing things. Doesn't take away from the accomplishments but it allowed some things to occur that couldn't necessarily happen and what you're seeing nowadays. Big, strong, big, fast guys. You see universally for the last 20 plus years, shoulders on top of the hips, whole body on a slight angle as it rotates, the chest is up, boom, you get the big pull, boom, you get the big strike, but they are not actively driving the chest up beyond the right point, which will absolutely, if you're working unconsciously, getting the chest up, which I see all the time and I have to explain this at practice all the time, which is one of the reasons why we came out with do's, don'ts, and distance killers because it's a course to be able to train our athletes that are coming to camps, that are coming to our club, that are coming for coaching, that are in our coaching program that you're gonna, if you're signing up for our online live coaching programs, we're doing that so that you can immediately go, whoa, okay, yeah, I totally see the difference because you'll be able to see it on video and hopefully some of the footage we put in today will help you kind of see that. So today's quick tip, hopefully you guys are doing it. Again, each week we wanna give you things, lets you know these are the types of things that we always expand on inside the system. You're gonna get the drills, the information, the training plan, everything you're gonna need, big updates coming, lots of details, check it out below. We'll see you guys on the next video.

Something tied to an ongoing court case. Why did President Biden suggest that Kyle Rittenhouse on trial in Kenosha is a white supremacist? So, Peter, what I'm not going to speak to right now is anything about an ongoing trial, nor the President's past comments. What I can reiterate for you is the President's view that we shouldn't have, broadly speaking, vigilantes patrolling our communities with assault weapons. We shouldn't have opportunists corrupting peaceful protests by rioting and burning down the communities they claim to represent anywhere in the country. As you know, closing arguments in this particular case, which I'm not speaking to, I'm just making broad comments about his own view. There's an ongoing trial. We're awaiting a verdict. Beyond that, I'm not going to speak to any individuals or this case. But the President has spoken to it already. I just have nothing more to speak to in an ongoing case where the closing arguments were just made.

Does mindfulness work for borderline personality disorder? Well, that's exactly the question that we're going to be answering in this video. So make sure that you stay tuned. What is up, everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution and welcome back to another mental health book review. I just finished this amazing book and it's called Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder. So that's what we're going to be talking about today. So this was an amazing book and it was written by, hold on, once I got a look at their names, Blaise Aguirre, I think I said that right, and Jillian Galen. So the simple answer to the question is, yes, mindfulness does help with borderline personality disorder. So don't leave yet. Don't leave yet, because we need to talk about it. But that's one of the things that fascinated me about this book, because I started to learn about the symptoms of borderline personality disorder, like I was like, man, I bet mindfulness can help with this. Mindfulness helps with BPD and it's proven by science. So here are three facts. OK, BPD is a mental illness that largely has to do with dysregulated emotions. Fact number two, emotional regulation is a responsibility of the prefrontal cortex in the brain. Fact number three, numerous studies show that mindfulness actually helps to strengthen the prefrontal cortex. But what's that noise? Do you guys hear that? Yes, that's right, everybody. This is your quick, tough love moment. You're not unique. This is science. Respect the evidence. All right. The reason why I say this is because I know I know for a fact I'm going to get a ton of comments with things like, no, Chris, you don't understand. Mindfulness can't help me. I already tried that. No, it is scientifically proven. And one of my new favorite sayings is respect the evidence. OK, so if you know somebody who struggles with BPD or you think this video might help somebody as I continue to talk about how mindfulness actually helps. Please, please, please make sure that you share this video with them. OK, so one of the things I loved about this book is throughout the book, it does an excellent job incorporating a lot of different stories from real people who struggle with BPD and their successes when it comes to using mindfulness to overcome their BPD. Also, remember, if you check out my other book review I did on BPD, technically, you are cured of BPD if you have five or less of the nine overall symptoms of BPD. So if you can work on fixing each one of these symptoms individually, you will live a much better life, even though you've been diagnosed with BPD. So mindfulness is the core practice of something called DBT, which is also known as dialectical behavioral therapy. All right. So throughout this book, it gives you a multitude of practices that you can start using to begin working on your various symptoms of BPD. So here are just a few, just a few of the practices that are laid out in this book that you can start practicing right away. Worry thoughts versus factual thoughts, judgments, toxic behaviors, urges and impulses, dealing with toxic family members, fear of abandonment, disassociation and suicidal thoughts, as well as many, many more. In the future, I will be doing more videos outlining some of these practices and I'll kind of walk you through them. So if you're not subscribed yet, make sure that you do because even if you're watching this video by chance and you do not struggle with BPD, all of those various symptoms that I listed, a lot of you struggle with those, like for example, dealing with toxic family members. We all got some of those, right? Urges and impulses, fear of abandonment. OK, you don't need BPD to be someone who struggles with fear of abandonment. And this book has practices that lay out how you can start working with these fears.  Like, how do you deal with them? How do you make them stop? So I think it's very important that I make some videos on different practices to deal and cope with these suicidal thoughts so they don't turn into action. When it comes to overcoming BPD, like I said, this book lays down a bunch of practices that you can start doing, but this is the core practice of something called dialectical behavioral therapy. Whenever practicing mindfulness or even more of a formal meditation, it's good to have somebody guiding you along to know that you're doing it right. I'm available as much as possible, but I'm not an expert when it comes to DBT. I teach meditation, but I'm not, you know, like a certified meditation teacher. So if you're somebody who's struggling with these symptoms and you think that dialectical behavioral therapy might help you, please, please, please check out the description below, because like I've mentioned before, BetterHelp, which is like the best online therapy app, they actually help support this channel so there is an affiliate link down there. And they have licensed therapists who specialize in dialectical behavioral therapy and they'll be able to answer whatever questions you have. They'll be able to give you very specific practices and things like that. It's it's a very simple process. All right. And the best part about BetterHelp is, too, is that it's extremely affordable. They work on a sliding scale for some people. I've heard the payments being as low as like $25 a month, depending on how much money you make. So like when we talk about like having a willingness to get better, like how important is your mental health and are you willing to invest in it? You know what I mean? Like remember, suffering equals pain times resistance. There's nothing wrong with asking for help, OK? But I will also have a link to this book down below. If you want to attempt to try this stuff and start working on this stuff on your own, by all means go for it. And you you all know that I'm pretty active in the comments down below. So if you have questions or anything like that about any practices that you find in this book, feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer. But I'll also be honest with you and let you know if this is something that is completely out of my realm. All right. But anyways, again, again, if you know somebody who struggles with borderline personality disorder, they feel stuck, they feel hopeless. They want to change, but they don't know how. Please share this video with them, because like I said, this is an excellent book. There's links to therapy. There is hope. Never lose hope no matter what your mental illness is. OK.
