0:00:00.240,0:00:03.001 mental health is not the mystery[br]that it once was 0:00:03.001,0:00:06.791 although there's a lot of things we [br]don't know about how the brain works 0:00:06.791,0:00:09.480 or why people feel certain things[br]or what makes it better, 0:00:09.480,0:00:12.350 there also is a lot that we have [br]figured out since the days 0:00:12.350,0:00:16.408 of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung[br]and those early pioneers of psychology. 0:00:16.767,0:00:19.808 There are many things that we can[br]definitively say: 0:00:19.808,0:00:24.373 "If you do this thing you will see[br]some amount of improvement ." 0:00:24.851,0:00:27.720 The problem is that a lot[br]of these proven strategies 0:00:27.720,0:00:30.225 for improving mental health are difficult, 0:00:30.225,0:00:32.669 uncomfortable or unpleasant to implement; 0:00:33.016,0:00:37.540 and a trap I see people get sucked into[br]all the time is they keep looking 0:00:37.540,0:00:40.934 for new solutions, new answers, new ideas, 0:00:40.934,0:00:43.735 not because they don't have any solutions 0:00:44.005,0:00:46.821 but because they don't like[br]the solutions they have. 0:00:46.922,0:00:50.167 They don't want to implement the things[br]that they already know 0:00:50.167,0:00:54.886 and so they spend hours and hours[br]reading books listening to podcasts 0:00:54.886,0:01:00.320 watching YouTube videos to try to find[br]an easier faster or more convenient way 0:01:00.320,0:01:03.680 to make the changes they already know[br]they should be making. 0:01:03.829,0:01:07.366 The thing about this is it's at best[br]this is procrastination 0:01:07.366,0:01:09.075 at worst it's avoidance. 0:01:09.220,0:01:14.203 Sometimes we need to stop acquiring[br]new information and focus 0:01:14.203,0:01:17.052 on applying the information[br]we already have. 0:01:17.052,0:01:19.825 And rather than looking[br]for that magic bullet, so to speak, 0:01:19.825,0:01:24.609 work on creating a foundation[br]combined with all of the things 0:01:24.609,0:01:28.500 we already know are definitely going[br]to help us if we could get them going. 0:01:28.800,0:01:32.595 When I hear somebody in therapy say:[br]"I've tried everything", 0:01:33.140,0:01:37.314 what they usually mean is:[br]I've tried everything that I want to try". 0:01:37.684,0:01:41.292 So that's why today instead of presenting[br]a new concept, 0:01:41.292,0:01:45.149 I'm going to review some things[br]that you probably already know, 0:01:45.489,0:01:51.118 but what I am hoping to do is maybe[br]present them in a new or novel way 0:01:51.118,0:01:55.411 that will make them feel more accessible,[br]more attainable 0:01:55.805,0:01:58.433 or more applicable[br]than they previously did. 0:01:59.240,0:02:01.880 So, without further ado[br]here are seven things 0:02:01.880,0:02:04.569 that you probably already know[br]you should be doing 0:02:04.836,0:02:07.316 but might be struggling to implement[br]into your life. 0:02:07.480,0:02:11.034 And the first is doing things[br]that you are scared to do, 0:02:11.034,0:02:14.095 in other words exposure therapy,[br]facing your fears. 0:02:14.525,0:02:19.548 Your comfort zone only grows[br]when you are not in it. 0:02:19.879,0:02:23.120 This is critical for you to understand. 0:02:23.120,0:02:27.927 And engaging in activities that cause you[br]anxiety or that cause you discomfort 0:02:27.927,0:02:31.985 is a lot ... it's kind of like stretching[br]your emotional range 0:02:31.985,0:02:35.345 in the same way that something[br]like yoga or calisthenics 0:02:35.480,0:02:37.615 is like stretching your movement range. 0:02:38.160,0:02:41.900 It doesn't necessarily feel great[br]while you are doing it. 0:02:41.900,0:02:45.291 In fact it can often be an unpleasant[br]experience while you're doing it. 0:02:45.291,0:02:49.808 But if you do it regularly,[br]navigating the world 0:02:49.808,0:02:52.691 becomes more enjoyable and less painful. 0:02:52.819,0:02:54.512 And you're less likely to get hurt: 0:02:54.560,0:02:57.952 if you stretch regularly,[br]you are less likely to hurt your body 0:02:57.952,0:02:59.800 when you're out and about[br]moving around 0:02:59.800,0:03:03.470 and there's fewer situations that you're[br]unable to physically navigate, right? 0:03:03.548,0:03:07.108 When you practice regular exposure therapy[br]and work on 0:03:07.108,0:03:09.375 in a sort of a planned strategic manner 0:03:09.375,0:03:13.647 facing, and hopefully eventually[br]conquering the things you are afraid of, 0:03:13.647,0:03:16.545 the world starts to open up to you. 0:03:16.545,0:03:21.344 It becomes more accessible and less scary[br]because there are fewer situations 0:03:21.344,0:03:26.035 you can imagine that you would find[br]yourself in that overwhelm your anxiety. 0:03:26.233,0:03:30.505 This is a huge part of why I used to be[br]so isolated when I was younger, 0:03:30.505,0:03:33.751 it's because I was terrified of doing[br]literally everything 0:03:33.751,0:03:36.848 other than playing video games in my room,[br]to be honest with you. 0:03:37.183,0:03:41.536 And so I avoided people I avoided[br]opportunity, I avoided school, 0:03:41.536,0:03:45.723 I avoided work because I felt like[br]I had so few skills 0:03:45.723,0:03:48.769 and so little coping ability that[br]it was only a matter of time 0:03:48.769,0:03:51.993 before I'd encounter a situation[br]that would completely overwhelm me, 0:03:51.993,0:03:54.670 so I didn't enter situations like[br]literally I just didn't 0:03:55.026,0:03:59.509 The more confidence you have[br]about your ability to navigate 0:03:59.509,0:04:02.915 these stressful situations[br]the less scary life becomes 0:04:02.915,0:04:04.983 and the more opportunities you have. 0:04:04.983,0:04:08.163 The second thing that you probably[br]already know you should be doing 0:04:08.163,0:04:12.500 but might be struggling to do[br]is taking good care of your living space. 0:04:12.500,0:04:16.051 Unless you are an absurdly wealthy person,[br]you are going to spend 0:04:16.051,0:04:19.091 the vast majority of your life[br]in two environments: 0:04:19.091,0:04:21.581 the place that you work[br]and the place that you live. 0:04:21.581,0:04:24.156 Now the place you live: you might own[br]your entire home, 0:04:24.156,0:04:25.930 you might rent, you might have a room 0:04:25.930,0:04:26.650 you might have a condo. 0:04:26.650,0:04:29.681 Whatever you have you have[br]an environment that you call home. 0:04:29.970,0:04:32.587 And so these two environments,[br]your work and your home, 0:04:32.587,0:04:36.333 they have a tremendous impact[br]on your mental health 0:04:36.560,0:04:40.100 if for no reason, no other reason,[br]I should say, than volume. 0:04:40.100,0:04:42.556 They're where you spend[br]the majority of your time 0:04:42.556,0:04:45.765 and so the way they look,[br]the way they feel, the way they function, 0:04:45.765,0:04:49.058 is critical to your emotional well-being- 0:04:49.058,0:04:52.807 We know that the environments[br]that you spend your time in 0:04:53.080,0:04:55.807 have a huge impact on your mental health. 0:04:56.199,0:04:59.154 And basically, what it comes down to[br]for me, my phrasing is, 0:04:59.154,0:05:02.317 if you're your home doesn't feel[br]comfortable to you, 0:05:02.539,0:05:06.680 you basically never feel like your home,[br]it's like you don't have a home, 0:05:06.996,0:05:09.394 you don't have a space: you have a home 0:05:09.681,0:05:14.340 but what you don't have is a space[br]in this world that feels right to you: 0:05:14.549,0:05:17.067 that's what you're missing[br]and we all need that 0:05:17.067,0:05:19.033 and I believe we all deserve that. 0:05:19.033,0:05:22.115 But you will not have one[br]unless you make one 0:05:22.115,0:05:24.965 you're the one that has to create[br]and maintain it; 0:05:24.965,0:05:27.975 and I don't always like that either[br]but I don't make the rules, 0:05:27.975,0:05:30.442 I just report on them[br]and this is the way we work 0:05:30.442,0:05:35.133 Taking good care of your environment[br]can be a very time-consuming task 0:05:35.133,0:05:37.941 especially if you've neglected it[br]for a long time 0:05:37.993,0:05:40.894 but remember that you don't have[br]to do it all at once, right? 0:05:40.894,0:05:44.958 Start small do a little bit each day[br]and before you know it 0:05:45.308,0:05:47.322 maybe your heart will have a home again 0:05:47.482,0:05:51.738 and that's something that can be[br]invaluable for our mental health journey. 0:05:51.988,0:05:54.871 The third thing you probably already know[br]you should be doing 0:05:54.871,0:05:56.320 but might be struggling to do 0:05:56.320,0:05:59.387 is to actually Implement[br]sleep hygiene techniques. 0:05:59.639,0:06:01.662 There are two types of insomnia: 0:06:02.000,0:06:04.955 there's clinical insomnia and[br]there's behavioral insomnia. 0:06:05.681,0:06:07.847 Clinical insomnia is when,[br]for the most part, 0:06:07.847,0:06:09.350 you are doing things right: 0:06:09.440,0:06:13.068 your day is structured in a way that[br]should allow you to fall asleep 0:06:13.068,0:06:16.155 and stay asleep reasonably well[br]but you are unable to do so 0:06:16.155,0:06:17.870 and it takes hours to fall asleep. 0:06:17.870,0:06:21.752 Behavioral insomnia is when[br]you have a double shot at 300 p.m., 0:06:22.027,0:06:25.647 you get into bed at 11:00 p.m.,[br]you scroll on your phone till midnight, 0:06:25.647,0:06:27.918 then you toss and turn[br]until 3 in the morning. 0:06:28.150,0:06:31.840 In other words, you have insomnia[br]but it's because of choices you're making, 0:06:31.840,0:06:34.848 it's not because your brain doesn't know[br]how to go to sleep, 0:06:34.848,0:06:37.051 it's because you're not letting it[br]go to sleep 0:06:37.051,0:06:40.440 and you've set up your life in a way[br]that simply does not support sleep. 0:06:40.440,0:06:42.168 Most people who struggle with sleep 0:06:42.168,0:06:45.749 have behavioral insomnia,[br]not clinical insomnia 0:06:45.990,0:06:50.035 Clinical insomnia is actually[br]relatively rare and it's usually a matter 0:06:50.035,0:06:53.191 of lifestyle and habits[br]that are primarily facilitating 0:06:53.191,0:06:55.682 the experience of insomnia. 0:06:55.682,0:06:57.319 So my question to you would be: 0:06:57.633,0:07:00.541 "Are you actually practicing sleep hygiene 0:07:00.541,0:07:03.614 and suffering clinical insomnia[br]as a result 0:07:03.614,0:07:06.499 or are you self-sabotaging[br]and then complaining about it?" 0:07:06.788,0:07:09.352 Because -- not to put[br]too fine a point on it -- 0:07:09.352,0:07:12.421 but that's basically[br]what behavioral insomnia is: 0:07:12.421,0:07:16.754 you are -- unintentionally I know, I'm[br]oversimplifying things a little bit -- 0:07:17.081,0:07:20.418 you're making it as difficult as possible[br]for your brain to fall asleep 0:07:20.418,0:07:23.190 and then being, like:[br]"Brain, why didn't you fall asleep?" 0:07:23.190,0:07:26.460 I mean you're you're kind of gaslighting[br]your sleep cycle in a sense. 0:07:26.460,0:07:29.880 It's a weird way to think of it. I know,[br]but that's kind of what you're doing. 0:07:29.880,0:07:33.833 If you struggle with insomnia,[br]take a real honest inventory 0:07:33.833,0:07:36.921 of your nighttime routine[br]and ask yourself: 0:07:36.921,0:07:41.387 "Do I think it's reasonable that I should[br]be able to fall asleep pretty quickly 0:07:41.387,0:07:44.159 or am I basically taking everything[br]I know about sleep, 0:07:44.159,0:07:45.449 throwing it out the window 0:07:45.449,0:07:47.199 and thinking that's still going to work?" 0:07:47.199,0:07:48.242 Because it won't. 0:07:48.242,0:07:50.874 You're -- you have a brain[br]and you have a nervous system 0:07:50.874,0:07:55.833 and we know a lot about how these factors[br]affect our ability to fall asleep 0:07:55.833,0:07:57.120 and stay asleep. 0:07:57.120,0:07:59.870 And so sleep is not really a mystery, 0:07:59.870,0:08:03.396 it's just that most people[br]aren't doing it right and that's really 0:08:03.396,0:08:06.360 what I want you to consider if you're[br]struggling with insomnia: 0:08:06.360,0:08:09.770 "Am I am I doing it right or am I just[br]gaslighting my own sleep cycle?" 0:08:09.770,0:08:12.780 The 4th thing that you probably[br]already know you should be doing 0:08:12.780,0:08:14.337 but might be having trouble with 0:08:14.337,0:08:17.561 is minimizing or eliminating[br]drug and alcohol use 0:08:17.711,0:08:21.602 Now this one's a little bit different,[br]I know, because this one is harder 0:08:21.602,0:08:24.673 for a person to control directly[br]than some of the other topics 0:08:24.673,0:08:28.036 we're going to discuss here and[br]believe me, I am understanding of that. 0:08:28.268,0:08:32.140 Most people who use drugs and alcohol[br]use them because they want to feel 0:08:32.140,0:08:35.100 anything other than what it is like[br]to be themselves 0:08:35.510,0:08:39.199 and it seems like nothing could possibly[br]worse than just waking up today 0:08:39.199,0:08:42.708 and feeling like me -- and frankly I know[br]what that feeling is like. 0:08:43.143,0:08:46.533 Substances put you on a physical[br]and mental roller coaster, though, 0:08:46.717,0:08:49.800 where instead of changing[br]what it feels like to be you, 0:08:49.800,0:08:53.252 which is ultimately the reality[br]that you are struggling with 0:08:53.252,0:08:57.357 you are temporarily escaping[br]what it feels like to be you 0:08:57.357,0:09:02.396 and when the escape wears up off[br]you often feel even worse than before 0:09:02.396,0:09:07.200 and therefore you feel an even stronger[br]desire to escape from yourself, 0:09:07.200,0:09:09.750 which manifests as increased substance use 0:09:09.750,0:09:12.589 and creates a downward spiral that[br]the longer it goes on 0:09:12.589,0:09:16.300 becomes harder and harder[br]to extricate yourself from. 0:09:16.434,0:09:20.033 So if this is you, and I have a little bit[br]of a different idea for you here, 0:09:20.033,0:09:23.480 because everything else in this video[br]has been about "here's what you can do". //// 0:09:23.480,0:09:25.640 If you're struggling with drug[br]and alcohol use 0:09:25.640,0:09:28.839 and the pattern I just described[br]kind of sounds like you, 0:09:28.839,0:09:31.040 maybe it's time to admit that[br]you cannot do this alone 0:09:31.040,0:09:32.240 and that you need some help[br]with this problem 0:09:32.240,0:09:36.800 Substance misuse is probably[br]the hardest mental health condition 0:09:39.000,0:09:41.399 to treat without support,[br]maybe tied with eating disorders 0:09:41.399,0:09:43.079 because they're very similar[br]neurologically 0:09:43.079,0:09:44.839 and I think that's mainly because[br]it's so easy to lie to yourself 0:09:47.800,0:09:50.485 and, you know, most people[br]aren't deceiving themselves 0:09:50.485,0:09:52.640 about their depression or their anxiety so like well 0:09:52.640,0:09:55.440 it's not that bad like usually you face 0:09:55.440,0:09:56.800 those things pretty head on you're like 0:09:56.800,0:09:58.600 no this is awful and I need help but 0:09:58.600,0:10:00.200 when it comes to that produce a 0:10:00.200,0:10:02.920 momentary sense of reward like eating 0:10:02.920,0:10:05.480 disorders and substance misuse you tend 0:10:05.480,0:10:08.360 to rationalize you tend to explain you 0:10:08.360,0:10:10.079 tend to minimize you tend to make 0:10:10.079,0:10:13.200 excuses and if you've had several 0:10:13.200,0:10:15.360 unsuccessful attempts at changing those 0:10:15.360,0:10:17.839 habits for yourself maybe it's time to 0:10:17.839,0:10:20.000 stop putting so much pressure on 0:10:20.000,0:10:22.360 yourself to accept some help and to 0:10:22.360,0:10:24.240 accept some support in this domain there 0:10:24.240,0:10:26.600 is no shame in that this is typically 0:10:26.600,0:10:28.560 not a solo Endeavor and it might be time 0:10:28.560,0:10:30.120 to think about asking for for help the 0:10:30.120,0:10:31.360 fifth thing that you probably already 0:10:31.360,0:10:32.519 know you should be doing but might be 0:10:32.519,0:10:34.320 having a hard time doing is being 0:10:34.320,0:10:36.200 Physically Active every day so I mean 0:10:36.200,0:10:37.800 this one is no mystery right you 0:10:37.800,0:10:39.360 probably had a million people tell you 0:10:39.360,0:10:41.120 this already including your doctor every 0:10:41.120,0:10:42.720 time you see them and every other 0:10:42.720,0:10:44.680 Medical Professional you interact with 0:10:44.680,0:10:45.920 you've probably heard it so many times 0:10:45.920,0:10:47.240 that you're sick of hearing it and you 0:10:47.240,0:10:49.519 have an innate automatic defensive 0:10:49.519,0:10:51.320 response when someone says this to you 0:10:51.320,0:10:52.720 so sorry about that because I probably 0:10:52.720,0:10:55.320 just triggered it but here's the thing 0:10:55.320,0:10:57.760 your brain needs blood your brain does 0:10:57.760,0:11:00.760 not work very well if it does not have 0:11:00.760,0:11:02.920 healthy accessible blood flow it's 0:11:02.920,0:11:04.240 literally one of the resources your 0:11:04.240,0:11:05.760 brain runs on it's like gasoline for 0:11:05.760,0:11:08.279 your brain and most of us have very 0:11:08.279,0:11:10.959 sedentary Lifestyles which negatively 0:11:10.959,0:11:12.839 impact our cardiovascular health I mean 0:11:12.839,0:11:14.560 that's that's just the way Society has 0:11:14.560,0:11:16.360 it's not your fault that's the way 0:11:16.360,0:11:19.160 Society has gone most jobs don't use our 0:11:19.160,0:11:21.160 bodies if you have a very Physically 0:11:21.160,0:11:22.600 Active job you probably don't need to 0:11:22.600,0:11:23.600 worry about this because you are 0:11:23.600,0:11:25.000 Physically Active every day it doesn't 0:11:25.000,0:11:26.399 have to be extra right it doesn't have 0:11:26.399,0:11:28.720 to be prescribed exercise if you get 0:11:28.720,0:11:31.680 this in from your job or from your kids 0:11:31.680,0:11:34.519 or whatever fine but if you're like me 0:11:34.519,0:11:36.079 and you literally just sit on your butt 0:11:36.079,0:11:38.600 for nine hours a day at work you need to 0:11:38.600,0:11:41.560 add this in your predefined life doesn't 0:11:41.560,0:11:45.079 have enough of it it's I'm not a fan of 0:11:45.079,0:11:48.000 how Society has made us so sedentary but 0:11:48.000,0:11:50.800 it is what it is since your brain needs 0:11:50.800,0:11:53.360 blood to work right cardiovascular 0:11:53.360,0:11:55.839 health is brain health if you constantly 0:11:55.839,0:11:59.279 feel foggy forgetful distracted or Moody 0:11:59.279,0:12:00.800 it might be because your brain doesn't 0:12:00.800,0:12:02.639 have enough blood flow it might be 0:12:02.639,0:12:03.839 because your brain doesn't have one of 0:12:03.839,0:12:05.480 the resources that needs to keep your 0:12:05.480,0:12:08.480 prefrontal cortex powered on because all 0:12:08.480,0:12:11.040 the things that I just said live there 0:12:11.040,0:12:13.440 and when your brain is lacking in any 0:12:13.440,0:12:15.680 essential resource blood oxygen rest or 0:12:15.680,0:12:18.519 caloric energy it enters a low power 0:12:18.519,0:12:20.680 mode much like what's on your phone or 0:12:20.680,0:12:23.000 your tablet or your laptop and certain 0:12:23.000,0:12:24.880 processes don't work as well as they 0:12:24.880,0:12:27.800 normally do the first part of the brain 0:12:27.800,0:12:29.279 that takes the hit when we're low on 0:12:29.279,0:12:31.639 resources is the prefrontal cortex it's 0:12:31.639,0:12:33.440 executive functioning its emotion 0:12:33.440,0:12:36.240 regulation it's social engagement so if 0:12:36.240,0:12:37.720 those are things you're struggling with 0:12:37.720,0:12:39.160 it's probably because your brain doesn't 0:12:39.160,0:12:40.959 have all the resources it needs to do 0:12:40.959,0:12:43.760 its job properly the one thing I always 0:12:43.760,0:12:45.320 try to emphasize with physical activity 0:12:45.320,0:12:48.320 too is like the way you do it really 0:12:48.320,0:12:50.519 doesn't matter if you want to lift 0:12:50.519,0:12:52.199 weights lift weights if you want to run 0:12:52.199,0:12:53.600 run if you want to do team sports do 0:12:53.600,0:12:55.920 team sports like if you hate some 0:12:55.920,0:12:57.600 certain type of exercise don't do it 0:12:57.600,0:12:59.760 it's not it's not huge 0:12:59.760,0:13:02.360 critical how you do it it's just 0:13:02.360,0:13:05.120 critical that you do it so find 0:13:05.120,0:13:08.279 something that you either like ideally 0:13:08.279,0:13:09.800 if there's nothing like literally 0:13:09.800,0:13:11.160 nothing find the thing you hate the 0:13:11.160,0:13:14.399 least it can be some weird obscure thing 0:13:14.399,0:13:16.720 maybe you want to get into hobby horsing 0:13:16.720,0:13:18.000 and if you don't know what that is you 0:13:18.000,0:13:19.760 should look it up on social media it's a 0:13:19.760,0:13:21.920 fascinating world if you do know what it 0:13:21.920,0:13:23.880 is I appreciate the people who 0:13:23.880,0:13:25.440 understand my obscure references because 0:13:25.440,0:13:28.600 there are many of them just do something 0:13:28.600,0:13:29.959 to get that that blood going to your 0:13:29.959,0:13:32.920 brain you might be amazed how much it 0:13:32.920,0:13:35.959 helps you really might be amazed the 0:13:35.959,0:13:38.959 sixth and final thing that you probably 0:13:38.959,0:13:40.920 asteris did this one probably know you 0:13:40.920,0:13:42.800 should be doing but are probably having 0:13:42.800,0:13:45.320 trouble doing is to stop beating 0:13:45.320,0:13:47.560 yourself up about how long it is taking 0:13:47.560,0:13:50.360 to get your life in order now I realize 0:13:50.360,0:13:52.120 that you might have been doing that 0:13:52.120,0:13:54.680 throughout this video already because as 0:13:54.680,0:13:56.320 I'm saying things that you probably 0:13:56.320,0:13:58.199 already knew you should be doing you 0:13:58.199,0:13:59.399 might have been beating yourself up 0:13:59.399,0:14:01.480 guilt tripping yourself shaming yourself 0:14:01.480,0:14:04.440 and if you were knock it off right now 0:14:04.440,0:14:06.880 sorry I had to say it that way but 0:14:06.880,0:14:09.279 seriously you're not doing yourself any 0:14:09.279,0:14:12.320 favors we all have enough pressure on us 0:14:12.320,0:14:13.519 already probably more than enough 0:14:13.519,0:14:15.079 pressure probably a maladaptive amount 0:14:15.079,0:14:17.399 of pressure and changes hard our brains 0:14:17.399,0:14:19.480 actively resist it because they're wired 0:14:19.480,0:14:23.440 for homeostasis we associate familiarity 0:14:23.440,0:14:25.880 with safety and with security and on a 0:14:25.880,0:14:27.920 very basic survival level we fight back 0:14:27.920,0:14:30.440 against our own attempts change putting 0:14:30.440,0:14:32.759 too much pressure on yourself tends to 0:14:32.759,0:14:35.639 keep you stuck so try patience and 0:14:35.639,0:14:38.279 gentleness instead and see what happens 0:14:38.279,0:14:41.720 it is amazing what people can do when 0:14:41.720,0:14:43.759 they finally feel understood and are 0:14:43.759,0:14:46.040 treated with respect and compassion and 0:14:46.040,0:14:48.440 it is very possible that the person most 0:14:48.440,0:14:49.920 standing in your way of feeling those 0:14:49.920,0:14:51.720 things and experiencing those things is 0:14:51.720,0:14:54.240 you
