========================
Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

Also introspect about your personality to pick your keystone habit: If you're social / a people pleaser, people related habits are best But if you're competitive like Phelps, a specific goal can be more motivating Visuals are also very powerful; I've found this too, sometimes even more than affirmations. If you picture yourself happy, or picture yourself skinny, or picture yourself at graduation, you can make it much much easier to get there

Here's a summary of this video, I hope it helps! 🦋The Butterfly Effect🦋 - It's an idea that a flap of the wings of a distant butterfly can somehow change the formation and course of a tornado thousands of miles away This analogy refers to the idea that a small change can have rippling effects across an entire system Why does it work? - everything you want to do or not want to do depends on your self control - research shows that people with better impulse control and self regulation (self control) are more likely to be successful in life How does it work? - Researchers came up with a hypothesis: self control is like a muscle, you can strengthen and improve it with repeated practice - Researchers have an hypothesis that if you pick up an habit and practise it over and over again, it will be like training your self control muscle and thus, strengthening it over time - WIth better self control, it will radiate throughout your entire life and make you much more disciplined in everything you do - In conclusion, you can train yourself to have self control What behaviour triggers this butterfly effect? - It is called a keystone habit, this name comes from the word keystone which refers to an arc and the centre stone within the arc is called key stone because it holds everything together. If you remove it, everything comes crashing down - A keystone habit refers to a habit in which all the other things are built upon - A keystone habit can be any habit but it is very individualised, e.g. making your bed, studying, waking up at 5 am, journalling etc. - To find your keystone habit, you need to understand yourself and find out what habits benefit you the most by trying out different things and experimenting with them - Ask yourself, ‘what are the things that make you feel good afterwards?’ or ‘what are the things that match my traits?’ e.g. starting the morning right - Once you establish the keystone habit, all the other routines naturally fall into place - To find a good habit, be introspective, find out what time of the day it matters to you the most and make sure it is relatively short which you can do on a daily basis - Habits come in a loop: first there’s a cue, then you have a routine to satisfy that cue and then you end up having a reward which is followed by a craving. This in turn triggers the cue and the cycle continues - The cue could be a certain time of the day, the routine is the act of completing a task, the reward could be the satisfaction of completing the said task and the craving is the need to satisfy the cue again - SECRET INGREDIENT: if you are able to include other people into your habit, you’re much more likely to stick to that habit. Why? because people are important to us since we are inherently social creatures. We are influenced by people so much that we can become a lot like the people we choose to be around. The people we choose can either make or break you. - Some examples of incorporating other people in your habits are: having gym buddies, studying in groups, taking courses with your friends

I think my key stone habit is going to the gym (weight lifting + calisthenics) because it forces me to eat healthier & more protein, drink more water & generally structure my days in a way so I have energy and time to go to the gym. The gym is the place where I push myself mentally & aim each time to increase my weights. It builds resilience Which also trickles down to the other areas of my life, especially uni & my other projects. It’s not a “simple” habit really but still keeps me going.

[@vinzanthonyalfaro2271]

I relate to this bro. Going to the gym or doing calisthenics at home forces me to eat healthy and wake up/sleep early. However, it cannot seem to influence other areas of my life like my studies and relationships. It actually even worsens those because my priorities get messed up (gym at the top). I'm still figuring out how to fix other aspects of my life. Glad you found your "keystone habit".

@@AsadAsad1991 never heard of minimalist training before. Thanks for the suggestion. But my problem mainly roots from my lack of motivation (not lack of time) in aspects other than being fit and healthy. I'm very disciplined with my diet and exercise but that's not the case with my studies, for example. Well, I used to have good study habits before in high school, but that changed when I entered university lmao.

I once heard the saying "How you do one thing is how you do everything", and it's change my outlook, because on one hand everything I do down to washing the dishes becomes worthy of paying attention to and doing to the best of my ability, but on the other hand, I can make massive improvements towards my goals just by adjusting small behaviors. This video helped me revise my daily routine of tasks and I think it'll really help because I think I'd been missing on having rewards built-in, which led me to overwork myself with no feedback, and then over-indulge. Here's to being the master of my own time, labor, and destiny in the new year!

[@Lucaplayshorts]

It’s just a saying though. The never-ending quest to find the perfect formula to live by never ends. To progress towards goals, realize it won’t be easy, and for many goals, probably boring. We’re drawn to things we enjoy and would rather be doing something else. Best to keep it simple and just do the work, and allow for downtime in the process.

[@rogueshadow0760]

How to have rewards, like give a few examples? I have been slowly building a routine but most of my habits don't have rewards. Now for some habits like exercise and writing, I enjoy them so most often I don't need rewards. But some others like doing chores and learning any skill, I need rewards.

[@Lucaplayshorts]

I love the idea of a keystone habit! Morning yoga is definitely mine. I started doing yoga sporadically at the beginning of the pandemic, then just kept coming back to it again and again because I felt better when I did. It got to the point that it was so noticeable, when I had a bad day my partner would ask, "you didn't do your yoga today, did you?" Now, my craving is so strong I do yoga every day, even if I'm sick or sad and can only do a few minutes, and I'm now at 315 days straight of yoga every day! It really does set up my day right and make me feel healthy and accomplished and motivated for more.

You can start Yogasanas with Sukshma Yoga or Sukshma Vyayama. There is a procedure to start and end Yoga. Do concentrate more on type of breathing with each pose.

my keystone habit: 5:30 AM CrossFit classes. I wanted to get fitter and stronger and joined CrossFit about a year ago. I was struggling to get to classes after work and would often be "too tired" or have a meeting or a social invite, so I'd skip. Fast forward to October 2022, and I decided to give the 5:30 AM class a try. Once I started this, I realized the class vibe was so positive, filled with others dedicated to getting a pre-work workout. My energy levels changed significantly and I started making other positive changes. I cut back on the drinking (and eventually stopped, 80 days sober now), making my bed, meditating, and journaling all before work and after my workout. I am eating cleaner, going to bed earlier, and sleeping so much better. In the past few weeks, I even began creating art again regularly. The one regular habit I have dedicated to has influenced so many other things in my life. 🙏

[@eyonil2604]

Wow, well done! I think I have had a similar experience, until a very big emotional fight (few fights) with my partner happened while he was away for two weeks and I was alone, so my sleeping schedule was destroyed from overthinking, eating habits, skipping meals, not showing my face outside first thing in the morning... all days afterwards were a chaotic disaster. Today for the first day I woke up, I went for a run, forgot my water bottle at home so I went back, and I am so proud I didn't stay home and managed to make myself go again, run and do my calisthenics. The day was much better afterwards. Not perfect, but this video and your comment, and the other's, gave me encouragement to try better tomorrow. Thank you all!

I play the same 3 affirmation videos every morning and afternoon on my commute. I didn’t know it was a keystone habit til this very moment. It’s part of my routine and helps me have patience and a better attitude. If I decide to listen to a podcast or music instead, it’s ok but slowly, everything starts falling apart. I’m more tired and easily irritated and have worst days. So every time I get in my car that’s my cue. Reward is my mood shifting. And then I wanna have a good day so it repeats!

[@indierific]

I actually stumbled upon my “keystone” habit by just focusing on a habit I could (1) perform daily (2) would be a positive improvement in my life and (3) is relatively easy (from my POV) to implement. I was in a pretty dark place and decided to implement a morning routine since I did not have one anymore. I found that just focusing on my morning routine (and being kind to myself when I wasn’t able to do it) has been really beneficial. I’ve even gotten to the point where I now do it every day and am currently focused on building other habits now, which I added in one at a time.

This is brilliant and I think an immediate reward is so necessary for the craving part. My friend goes on runs every day. And usually it takes like 2 weeks to get to the point where just running is fun. Before then, it sucks, it makes you more tired and sore, so you’re less likely to stick with it. To combat this, she started to listen to her favorite podcast only while she ran. So that became the reward and the craving. Now she gets really excited to run because she can listen to her podcast.

My keystone habit is making healthy drinks for my husband and myself in the morning. I start by making 32 oz of water with lemon for each of us then I sip it while I make cucumber or celery juice to drink next and finally I make a large portion of green juice from kale, lemons, apples, ginger and celery to drink throughout the day. I don't like washing my juicer so I get all the juice made at once and dole it out as needed. We stay well hydrated, get our leafy greens in and feel more energy.

Like, cooking dinner instead of ordering takeout or going to the gym after work? Mentally, your self control muscle is overworked and overtired. Setting up systems where you make less one-off decisions helps - to go back to the takeout example, you don't have to make that cooking/takeout decision if you've prepped meals for the week or have other healthy stuff ready to go.

Or wear a button down and slacks every day. They make their wardrobe boring so they don’t spend time deciding what to wear. Often, when I find a blouse I like, I buy it in five colors. I wear the same shirt in a different color each day for a week, then go to next style.

The value of having self-control & teaching it to your children from a very young age is so under rated. My kiddos fought me as I was teaching them, they thank me, now. I made the times that I taught them, a lot of fun so that they would like it. This can stick with a child or sometimes it doesn't or in varying degrees. I had my kiddos with me when I did banking or did grocery shopping or cleaned the car, etc They took turns with a pocket calculator, in the grocery store, adding up for the total. They knew the budget. They also knew that if there was money left over in the budget, it would go into our vacation fund, so we could do fun things. Another way was that every time there was a carnival near where we lived, if we didn't spend money at the carnival we would have enough to have a really good time at Disney World. I was especially proud of my youngest. She worked very hard to get her engineering degree. Degrees in engineering are very expensive.

I've decided to do this. my keystone habit is drinking water. Let's face it, I've been chronically dehydrated my entire life. This comment is to mark my journey and hold me accountable to updates. It's been about 3 days and so far I've noticed more bowel movements and a slight desire to drink water (none before) maybe this is tied to the reward of feeling accomplished. Let's go 04/03/23: my health is improving, skin, my eyes look more alert, no more dry eyes or lips, lips actually got bigger, better sleep and dream recall. I feel more energetic. Eating more consistently at mealtimes. Feeling more confident. 04/30/23: One month in. What a difference. My life is flowing! Drinking warm water in the morning with lemon, cucumber, or lime really helps me drink when I wake up and don't want cold water hitting my system. My skin keeps getting better and better. I can feel the internal hydration. Long term tension in my body is dissolving and relaxing. Sleep is feeling more and more rejuvenating. This sense of accomplishment and empowerment is building.. 11/27/23: Wow, I forgot about this comment. I got into the habit of tracking my goals elsewhere. So, 8 months in! And this video pops up in my recommended at the perfect time. I have successfully incorporated drinking water into my lifestyle! It's been difficult. My entire life, I don't really have a thirst cue unless i work out extremely hard. Apparently my Kenyan grandmother is the same way. So I'm really proud of all the hard work I've put in to reach this level of consistency. I alone know how much of a struggle it's been. Note to self: Celebrate dear! You're amazing. I'm so proud of you. Keep it up. You got this! That being said, Winter is here. And with the colder temperatures here now, I noticed I'm starting to drink less water so this is the perfect opportunity to level up. Time to adapt and overcome. I'm going to start warming up a kettle of water in the mornings for the day. Maybe I'll keep a thermos. Ok, so for the million dollar question, has my life completely changed from this habit? Hmm.. I haven't reflected on this until right this moment.. My God, it really has. Strange. I didn't think of it coming from drinking water, that kinda faded to the background. But I am vastly different from my former self just 8 months back. Was it really the water? I'm not depressed anymore or anxious. I'm energetically making my goals happen. I no longer see myself as chronically fatigued. My sleep is better. I've done a lot of work on myself this year. The biggest change came with integrating my shadow self and accepting my worthiness. I did it. I'm realizing I really did it. I set forth a goal to create a keystone habit of drinking water and leverage it into changing my life. And I did it. Epic. So glad this video popped back up. Hope this inspires someone to take their journey. Feel free to ask me any questions. Merry Christmas.

Anyway as I'm aware now about my keystone habit so I'll start doing it from again 😊❤️

[@elihinze3161]

Another awesome video! I need to focus on my keystone habits this year. I'm trying to make them quite prominent in my journal I've just set up for the year!

[@juliafisher5844]

A keystone is just one thing .. therefore if you settle on the one thing that works for you personally it's easier simpler more do able less overwhelm achievable and affects your whole life in other areas

[@hareshwedanayake7427]

Guys this works! I tried this keystone habit thing because I was like why not? Mine was making my bed as soon as I get up every morning. I forced myself to stick to it and after the first week I didn't notice anything crazy. It was actually nice to look at a made bed in the morning so I was like wth I'm going to continue this anyway. I started doing it impulsively without keeping the butterfly effect in mind. 2 weeks later I have realized that I have massively cut down on my social media addiction. Maybe it's just a coincidence idk. But key stone habits work!

I’m so happy to come across a name for this habit. A few months ago I realised it only really takes one habit to put your life on a good track. One afternoon I randomly started walking a few steps after a meal. I’m a sadly stationary person and I never walk. So I have myself small goals of 300 steps, then 550 steps and eventually made my way up to 5k a day. It took me a few days to finally touch 10k. But the beautiful part about this little exercise was, firstly it helped me see myself in a favourable light. From being a person who HATED walked to someone who thought it’s all fun and games to do 5k steps a day. And because I was designing my day around this habit, I also had to sleep and eat at better times, write more since I was suddenly so inspired. That month I ended up reading 5 books, averaging 3.3kms a day, joining the gym again to strengthen my body enough to help me increase the step count, and became way more positive in general. So, THANK YOU for this video. It’s so motivating to see it’s a proven study and I can design my life based on life even if things seems hopeless and I don’t know where to start first.

Very informative. New subscriber here. I 100% agree with involving friends and family to help you improve or change your habits. The social aspect is so important, in so many ways. Peer pressure, in a positive way, group gratification is another. Good video Tina.

[@nasrinnaz1376]

Yeah, if the social circle is good then why not.

[@DataProfessor]

As always great video Tina and happy new year! Love how you integrate findings from research papers in the video essay :)

[@TinaHuang1]

data professor!!! Hope you're doing well :)

[@DataProfessor]

@@TinaHuang1 Glad to hear from you, things are going great. Would love to catch up!

[@akatgif]

Very helpful. Makes perfect sense.. In one ear and out the other. Imma watch another 50 videos how do I improve my life. Then then do the same thing the next 10 years.

[@moodychicken]

This happened to me when I started being more consistent in the gym, my nutrition started changing, my work habits slowly started changing, and other factors started changing by proxy. It's pretty cool!

[@ecb7408]

Thank you! I really needed this 😊

[@saraperdomo6531]

I loved the video, thanks for sharing. Really useful for me at this moment

[@alberto-444]

Thank you for this video!!! Happy New Year! 🎆🎆🎆

[@wiseOne1982]

I also am one to feel better after live stream in the morning. otherwise if I don;t my day is plagued with all the things I should have said. As I watched your video You discussed may things that I was already familiar with. I love how you took your introsept to understand what works for you. You definitely inspired me to keep up my routine. I hope you keep up yours.

[@MissLionRose]

Your video was recommended to me today. NEW subscriber! I'm loving your ideas 🙏🦋💙

[@maximelaine2258]

I've just discovered your channel by this video. I subscribed after listening for five minutes.

[@bliss2141]

This video was just what I needed. I’ve been trying to implement new routines and habits into my life but I’ve been having a lot of trouble with actually starting/sticking to them. I will definitely try adopting this method. I’ll let you know how it goes in three months time.

[@hiramemon6047]

so, what's your progress? looking forward to hearing what keystone habit you chose and how did it make you feel.

[@shaniatan6940]

I connected more with this video when you mentioned you're a morning person. It made me realise I am a morning person too, how I start morning really affect my productivity and mood throughout the day!~ its a new year, I hope to see new changes in myself in 6 months hehe.

[@SELFCAREMODEL]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL ❤ THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS !

[@keentoknowher]

I think my keystone habit is journalling, I feel bad when I can't check the box when I missed any habits that I set for myself. I finally found that it's the one who keeps me going.

[@NikkiElla622]

This is super helpful thank you! ❤

[@liyashaa12]

Happy new year Tina 💗

[@danfirek9762]

Two great books keep the suggestions coming!

[@michiganicepops3455]

I found this happened to me when I started meditating regularly. I started looking at what I was putting in my mouth, who I was social with and how I wanted to spend my time.

[@rra8435]

hey!! i've been trying doing and following the morning routine that i made and somehow when i dont follow one of the things that i need to do in that routine i feel like so stressful and it affected my whole day, but i suddenly realise that, that thing might be the keystone for my daily activity, but i didnt know that it related to the butterfly effect, so after watching this now i know, thank u so much for the detailed explanation!!

[@Kabra2012]

I'm establishing a consistent gym routine, but I'd say my keystone habit is meal prepping for the week ahead every Sunday. Having prepped meals for the week is such a time saver. My goal is to expand Sunday as my comprehensive day of planning (task lists, journaling, editing, personal learning etc)

[@aleenabenny5624]

Let me tell you, my life was a mess and clueless before picking up some habits. It's been a year since I started working out on a daily basis. For cardio, I dance. And I'm someone who loves to dance that sometimes I forget about the time. I began to notice that, though working out is a healthy habit, I'm spending more time than necessary and my time to do some other things is stolen by this habit. Actually I had started tracking down my day, like making some simple notes on things that happened in a day and how I felt or reacted to everything that happened. It's been more than 2 months since I started doing it. And it's been almost a month since I improvised that habit into a more productive way as I realised that I should change my working out pattern. I started to make lists of things that I wanted to be done the next day, before going to bed and keep it beside me. Then I go through it after waking up, before starting my routines I've heard people talking about dreams and goals that you should have, that are gonna be achieved in like 5 or 10 years. Yeah you should have those big dreams and goals. But actually the plans and goals for the very next day works better. I mean, when I started this diary writing or journalising habit, my long term goals began to have clarity. And my life is more organized and I'm getting things done! Actually I didn't know about the butterfly effect or the studies and other things that's stated in this video. It just came to my feed when I looked for something else and when I watched it, I was like, oh! okay, this is what I'm doing and yeah it works!

[@vishu1334]

Happy New Year Tina!

[@ponypony2905]

Yeah I didn't know what habit would be best for me, I'm already vegan, but it's definitely not the keystone. So I asked writing AI to recommend some habits for a dreamy, chill, creative person, and I found creative visualisation to be the nr 1, also journaling, but with my mind some things are to long to put on paper. And the last was meditation, which I love, but I usually spend like 30min completely out, so it's more suited for evenings. Really thanks for this video, it was very informative and interesting. Love your channel❤

[@aminataoc6900]

My keystone habit is definitely bujoting :) the cue is needing make a to do list for the day, the routine is bujoting, the reward a pretty page and plan for the day, and then all over again the next day

[@kimberlyr737]

I believe my keystone habit is my two 50-minute HIIT classes per week. It forces me to get everything else done from day to day - drinking 2000mL of water, taking my vitamins, eating three meals a day. Everything has fallen into place quite nicely.

[@parthoghoshsourav3745]

the motivation,life guidelines or in the field of life changing sectors woman youtubers are hardly comes with it, she doing very nice job by continuing that sector. I appreciate that fully from my heart.

[@jouleSansLoi]

Damn girl, back to back to back videos. You r on fire!

[@pastelsky4236]

My keystone habit is drinking green tea. It makes me feel fresh and full of energy, but also dosent cause a crash or interfere with my already bad insomnia like coffee does. So i have so much energy that i want to do something productive with it. And it also improved my skin, heart, breathing and weight.

[@LunaFlahy]

Thank you Tina 🎉

[@brokencookie1]

Thank you for this first video I’ve seen on your channel. I’ve thought over the criteria (feel-good and rewarding for me and I WANT to do) and decided to try meditating for 5-10 mins every afternoon (precise time TBC). I’ve set a goal of doing it for two weeks and I’ll be back to tell you how it goes.

[@shipramondal9391]

How did it go?

[@brokencookie1]

Unfortunately, I failed. I didn’t have enough willpower to create the habit. Maybe I’ll try again

[@giulianamurillo3582]

i'm trying to learn english by watching your videos,you talk fast,it's a challenge for me , so i will keep watching your videos even if it takes me a long time. Love you

[@oussamazidane7854]

Happy new year Tina , when i come to china I hope taking you drinking cup of coffee and taking pucture with you because you made me love data science and productivity😁

[@annieorben]

I really like your videos. You're smart and very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for doing the work to create these.

[@wafflecoast]

this is exactly what i needed to hear.. thank you young lady

[@kellyliu1317]

Such a perfect video for the new year! Cant wait to see you on the live stream!!!🐢💖

[@dougjstl1]

Keep working at it start early keep moving. So they can look back a week or a year a couple years and see that what you've done can encourage you to keep forward. keep going

[@ClearBlueSky1]

This is so interesting, definitely going to research and find what my keystone habit is 💓

[@ky_9030]

Watching this video made me think of around this time last year when I started to go on walks everyday. I had a lot of things I wanted to fix or change (my diet, my sleep schedule, my lack of motivation, and so on) but it was overwhelming so I eventually stopped caring about changing it all. Then I started to go on walks just for the peace and exercise. However, I realized I really liked walking as soon as I woke up, which ended up helping to fix my sleep schedule as laying in bed for a few hours after waking up is something that was really hurting my sleep-wake cycle, and eventually I started getting up earlier to go on earlier walks. I also fell asleep faster and easier at night because I got up and moving as soon as I woke up. I then stopped eating junk food at night because I realized it bothered my stomach on my walks. I also started to drink more water because that's what I would drink while on my walk and right after. Since I loved walking, I decided to try jogging, and I got really bad runners stomach if I ate an unhealthy dinner, so I stopped eating junk food later in the day rather than just not at night. I also started drinking more water because I read that if you're dehydrated, it makes runners stomach worse. Walking and jogging made me feel good about myself, and I started taking better care of myself, which also made me feel good about myself I felt motivated to do little tasks I'd often procrastinate (especially right after I got back from a run, I always just wanted to do productive things once I got home) It's insane how much that little task helped me take steps in so many other areas that needed improving

[@JR-_-2010]

Interesting. It has given me some things to think about. Thank you for posting.

[@l.a.1477]

My keystone habit is exercising. Everything just falls into place if I maintain a routine and falls apart if I don’t. It’s absolutely critical for me to have it in my life as long as I’m not sick or something.

[@DasAlena]

thank you for that video! just wanted to say that I absolutely love your hair!!

[@TinaHuang1]

Awww ty 🤗🤗

[@pawemilinski8158]

I love how edge of picture on the backgroung split your haircut directly in half! It totally stole my attention :)

[@moniquelgrace1908]

Love the tempo and sound of your voice great content thank you so much

[@leggermentesara]

A very good video! Thank you 💞

[@peggy5718]

After watching this video , i also want to establish the habit of waking up early , because it makes me feel the peace and organized. but it is hard for me to consist for a long period😭, hopefully , in 2023 i will be more consistant in what i want to do .

[@mykelayo]

Happy New Year Tina

[@ktb1381]

Interesting video, thank you. FYI, you might want to let your sponsor know that on their main page that copy for module 2 is talking about module 3.

[@compugab]

I made a decision a couple of month ago to stop buying things online. I decided to first try to buy what I want in store before buying them online. That simple decision had such an impact on my life and it still does. I'm looking forward to see how much my life will still change. Great video.

[@IAmTheRockStarPharaoh]

Amazing! Thank you, Tina! 🦋

[@Conscious_Sea_Magic_Wave]

Inspiring! Thanks!

[@sujatashroff6385]

Thanks it helped. I am not sure. But for me there are following: Meditation, Relax after hard day, journaling in night for self analysis, watching videos for what I want to do, mirror exercise - talking in mirror for 1 min. It takes around 3.5 hours in my day. There are some alternatives too like walking on beach or dancing, listening to good music.

[@sportyshonna8435]

6:22 play the movie in your head .... wonderful tip!

[@LifeWithYen]

I so needed to watch this right now!

[@Priscilla.writing]

Omg this is really cool. As a novelist, I started tracking my word count everyday for nanowrimo 2023 this year, and then one thing leads to another, I have lost weight, walked 10000 steps a day, and managed my finances much better. I like the Phelps keystone as well, every night I do think of my ideal self. :) thanks for your tip, love your content Tina.

[@AroMountainOfLight]

this is great thank you! i totally changed my life around. share how i do it come say hello! may we all be lifted!

[@exploreyourdreamlife]

Thank you for the awesome video. The butterfly effect when paired with HYPERFOCUSED INTENTIONALITY can unleash tremendous positive effects - not just personally but for the rest of the world. It even affects your DREAMS.
