If you're constantly afraid of your next panic
0:03
attack , or you've been googling ways to
0:05
stop disturbing thoughts , or if you're
0:07
tired of living in fear of your own anxiety symptoms
0:10
. This is going to challenge what you think
0:12
you might know about rewiring an anxious
0:14
brain . Your attempts to rewire your
0:16
brain might actually be keeping you stuck
0:19
, and here's why . Here's
0:21
why
0:23
, hey
0:27
everybody , welcome back to the Anxious Truth . This is
0:29
the podcast and YouTube channel where we talk about
0:31
all things anxiety , anxiety disorders
0:34
and anxiety recovery . I'm Drew Linsalata
0:36
, creator and host of this channel , therapist
0:38
practicing under supervision , specializing
0:40
in anxiety disorders , author , an
0:43
educator and an advocate on this topic
0:45
and , yes , unfortunately a
0:47
former anxiety sufferer myself
0:49
for many , many years , but doing much better
0:51
now . Today we need to talk about something
0:53
that's everywhere in anxiety recovery
0:55
circles right now this idea of rewiring
0:58
an anxious brain , and if you're watching
1:00
this , you've probably seen countless videos
1:02
and articles that promise to sort of teach you how to
1:04
rewire your brain and to stop
1:06
being anxious , to finally be
1:08
free of panic attack , to make those terrifying
1:11
thoughts go away , and I kind
1:13
of get it . Who wouldn't want that
1:15
? I mean , who wouldn't want to just rewire their
1:17
brain and make all this stuff just disappear
1:20
. But here's the thing Almost
1:22
everything you've been told about rewiring
1:24
an anxious brain is mostly
1:26
wrong , not just slightly wrong
1:28
, but fundamentally backwards
1:30
. And if you're trying to rewire your brain the
1:32
wrong way , you might actually
1:34
be reinforcing the very patterns
1:37
that you're trying to break . So
1:39
let's start the discussion with a
1:41
little something that might blow your mind . Your
1:44
brain doesn't have a
1:46
delete button . That's
1:48
right . It doesn't have a delete button . You
1:50
can't erase pathways or sort of
1:53
remove information that's already there . This
1:55
is why , if you're trying to delete
1:57
your anxious response or erase
1:59
your fear , it never actually
2:02
works , because the brain simply
2:04
doesn't work that way . So think about
2:06
that for a second . So many
2:08
videos or articles or programs
2:10
promise to help you eliminate anxiety
2:13
, but that's fighting against
2:15
basic brain function . Your
2:18
brain is designed to learn and
2:20
add information , not to delete
2:22
information . Now , this is actually
2:24
good news , even though it might not feel
2:26
that way right now . So sort of
2:28
, stick with me and we're going to walk through
2:30
it . The first thing to remember is
2:33
that your anxious brain isn't broken or damaged
2:35
, which is something that anxious people often think
2:37
, and that's not correct . It's actually just doing
2:40
exactly what it's supposed to do . It's trying to
2:42
keep you safe . We talk about this stuff all the time . The
2:44
problem is that it's working too hard at
2:46
that job . It's getting a little bit overzealous and
2:48
overprotective . It's like having a
2:50
helicopter parent that won't let you do anything
2:53
because everything might
2:55
be dangerous , and I think we can all sort
2:57
of relate to that example . So
2:59
think about what happens when you feel , for
3:02
instance , your heart starts to race . If your
3:04
anxiety presentation sort of includes
3:06
that Right now , if your heart
3:08
starts to speed up and pound , your brain probably
3:11
has one primary pathway that
3:13
represents a response and that would be
3:15
racing heart means panic
3:17
attack and panic attack means danger
3:19
must prevent panic attack at all
3:21
costs . Or maybe when
3:23
you get that sort of floaty , disconnected , dpdr
3:26
feeling that's depersonalization and derealization
3:28
your brain immediately goes to
3:31
this means I'm losing control or
3:33
I'm losing my sanity or I'm slipping away . So
3:35
I must make this stop right now . And
3:38
for those dealing with maybe disturbing or intrusive
3:40
thoughts , maybe your brain's only pathway
3:43
for response is these thoughts
3:45
mean something terrible about me . I have to stop
3:47
them and make them go away or definitely
3:49
prove them to be inaccurate . But
3:52
before we dive deeper into
3:55
this rewiring process of what it actually looks like
3:57
, I kind of want to just remind you that the Anxious
3:59
Truth is more than just this podcast
4:01
episode or this YouTube
4:04
video . If you head on over to theanxious
4:06
truthcom , you'll find the other
4:08
300 and somewhat free podcast episodes
4:10
and videos just like this one . They
4:12
all provide a little bit more detailed information on
4:14
the many aspects of anxiety disorders and recovery
4:17
. You'll find the books that I've written that also break
4:19
down these concepts in greater detail , and
4:21
there's a bunch of very low cost , accessible
4:23
workshops that focus on specific challenges
4:26
like panic attacks or agoraphobia
4:28
. We have one on worry slash rumination , which
4:30
is a big problem in our community . Plus , you'll
4:32
find the links to all of my socials , so
4:35
feel free to follow along on the platform
4:37
of your choice . I'm kind of on all of them . Check
4:39
it all out . Most of it is free . Otherwise
4:42
it's very low cost and it's all at theanxioustruthcom
4:44
, so
4:50
avail yourself of all the goodies when you get a chance . So let's talk for a minute about
4:52
what rewiring your anxious brain actually does mean . And since we can't
4:54
delete stuff from our brains remember
4:56
there's no delete button what we're really doing
4:58
is adding new information and creating
5:00
new pathways . Remember , our brains
5:03
are designed to add and learn
5:05
, not delete . So one way you
5:07
might consider thinking of this is like adding
5:10
new roads to a city . We're
5:12
not demolishing the old roads . While
5:14
we do that , we're building new ones
5:16
that give us more choices and options
5:18
for getting where we want to go . And this is all
5:20
about developing choices and options
5:23
, because that's part of psychological flexibility
5:25
, which you've heard me talk about before . But
5:28
this is where we need to talk about something that might
5:30
sound simple but is actually
5:32
quite profound and often very
5:34
difficult for people to put into practice
5:36
. Recovery isn't just
5:38
about building new neural pathways . It's
5:41
also about developing sort of a fundamentally
5:44
different attitude toward anxiety and
5:46
really toward discomfort in general . Instead
5:49
of seeing your anxiety as an enemy
5:51
that has to be vanquished or prevented , we
5:53
start to develop an attitude of openness
5:55
and willingness toward it , and you've heard
5:57
me and Josh Fletcher , my partner on Disorder
6:00
, talk about willful tolerance . Now
6:03
, as far as developing an attitude
6:05
of openness and willingness toward your anxiety
6:07
if you're new around here , admittedly , I
6:09
understand that might sound a little bit ridiculous
6:11
, but it is part of the rewiring and
6:13
the building of new pathways . So
6:16
you might be thinking right now like willing
6:18
to experience anxiety or being open to
6:20
panic attacks . That sounds patently
6:22
absurd and you're right , it does
6:24
sound backwards . There's so much paradox
6:27
in this thing that we do together . It does
6:29
go against , like survival instinct
6:31
and everything that that is telling you to do . It
6:33
contradicts years or maybe even decades
6:36
of learned responses and beliefs about anxiety
6:38
and about discomfort , and it certainly
6:40
goes against a whole lot of the
6:42
popular sort of anxiety management
6:44
advice and information you're
6:46
going to hear online , especially in 2024
6:49
. So let's just take a
6:51
look at some real examples because it might help you relate
6:53
a little bit . Let's say you're somebody who panics
6:56
when you feel dizzy or lightheaded , which is a lot
6:58
of listeners at the Anxious Truth Right
7:00
now . You probably immediately try
7:03
to sit down or you grab onto something
7:05
or you rush home , and anybody who's
7:07
got an anxiety disorder that leans
7:09
like hot death on the shopping cart as they force
7:11
themselves through the supermarket understands
7:13
what I'm talking about . The new pathway
7:16
that we're building might say well , this
7:18
is an uncomfortable experience , but
7:20
I felt it before and I've always gotten
7:22
through it . I can keep going . Even
7:25
while I feel this way . Maybe I don't
7:27
have to lean on the shopping cart , grab the wall
7:29
or go home . Now for
7:31
those of you say with health anxiety , maybe
7:33
every like weird feeling in your heart
7:35
, every palpitation or skip beat , sends you straight
7:38
to checking your pulse or Googling your symptoms
7:40
. Now remember , we can't delete
7:43
that pathway . It's
7:46
there because your brain is trying to keep you safe . It's just sort of lost its way
7:48
in that task . But we can
7:50
build a new pathway that
7:52
says my heart does weird things sometimes
7:54
, that I'm anxious , because that's what anxious hearts do . I've
7:57
had this checked out . I've been told it's okay , I
8:00
can handle this sensation . And
8:02
to maybe bring an example into sort of the intrusive
8:04
thoughts or OCD world maybe you're having
8:07
thoughts about harm or relationship thoughts
8:09
or whatever flavor your OCD
8:11
might take Right now . Your
8:13
only pathway might be I
8:15
need to know for sure about
8:17
this . I have to figure this out . I have to
8:19
make these thoughts stop . I have to make them
8:22
from coming , prevent them from coming true
8:24
. The new pathway that we're building
8:26
that lives alongside the old pathway
8:28
says well , these thoughts make me feel
8:30
really awful , because they do , but
8:33
I can let them be there without engaging
8:35
with them . So you notice that in
8:37
each one of these examples we
8:39
wind up with alternate options and
8:41
choices for how you respond
8:43
when you find yourself in a triggered state Right
8:46
now , you may only see one possible
8:48
response , and that , generally speaking , is avoidance
8:51
or running , or preventing or resistance
8:53
. Rewiring an anxious mind
8:55
does leave that option intact , because
8:57
, again , we cannot delete that , but it helps
9:00
us see that it was never the only
9:02
choice . The rewiring process
9:04
will show us that we actually do have power
9:06
and agency , and we do have a say
9:08
in what happens after the initial
9:10
sort of OMG , oh my God , moment
9:13
when we're triggered . So
9:15
this , though , is where the principles
9:17
might be generalizable , but the application
9:20
gets really personal and unique for
9:22
each person that struggles with anxiety , and
9:24
we got to talk about this because we never want
9:26
to make it seem like one size fits all
9:28
. It does , but the
9:30
way you get into that one size
9:32
is going to vary widely depending on
9:34
your specific circumstances . I mean , maybe
9:37
you've been dealing with panic attacks for 20 years
9:39
, or maybe you developed health anxiety after
9:41
a genuine medical scare or
9:43
some medical malpractice . That happens . You
9:45
could be struggling with disturbing thoughts that
9:47
feel completely at odds
9:49
and against who you really
9:51
are as a person and that terrifies you . I
9:54
mean , add that to your own lived
9:56
experiences , your own beliefs , your own
9:58
fears and your own obstacles , this
10:00
process can get really complicated and difficult
10:02
. That's why , while
10:05
it sounds like we're always saying just do it
10:07
or just face your fears , simplifying
10:09
it to that level isn't necessarily helpful , because
10:12
this isn't just about knowing
10:14
something intellectually we can talk
10:16
about like the science of neural
10:18
pathways all we want . We can talk about this
10:20
until we're blue in the face . But it's not
10:22
about just talking and listening
10:25
and learning and understanding from an intellectual
10:28
standpoint . It's about being willing to
10:30
challenge sometimes some very deeply
10:32
held beliefs and sort of longstanding patterns
10:34
that feel like they're keeping
10:36
you safe . You really think that this is the right
10:39
way to be . That one option , the
10:41
only pathway that your brain has right now
10:43
, which is run , fight , resist
10:45
, stay safe really feels correct
10:47
to you . So if you're going to challenge that
10:49
and open yourself up to other options
10:51
to build those new pathways and do that rewiring
10:54
air quotes it's often going to feel very
10:56
wrong or risky or dangerous
10:58
or even reckless . So
11:00
when people in my social media comments section say
11:03
things like easier said than done
11:05
this is why they say that and , to be completely
11:07
honest with you , they are right . If
11:09
you've ever looked at some of this content that I produce
11:11
and said well , sure , make it sound easy . I do
11:13
make it sound easy , but I know that it is
11:15
not right , so we always try and acknowledge
11:17
that around here we have to . So
11:20
to move on , I want to get a little bit more
11:22
practical and maybe personal about
11:24
the rewiring process . Building
11:26
new pathways isn't about
11:28
positive thinking or telling
11:31
yourself everything is fine . It's
11:33
about actual experiences . Your
11:35
brain is not going to rewire
11:37
itself simply because you tell
11:39
it to . It rewires itself when
11:42
you show it something new through
11:44
experience . That's a
11:46
raw deal , because that means that you have to
11:48
take what feels like a risk to
11:50
do different things in
11:53
order to have different experiences
11:55
, in order to feed those to your brain
11:57
, in order to give yourself
12:00
new options , write new pathways and
12:02
rewire right . So
12:04
that's the process . This goes on . We can't
12:07
just tell our brains to rewire , no
12:09
matter how much we read , listen to or watch videos
12:11
. We have to actually have experiences
12:14
, and this is where it gets so sticky
12:16
. As I was saying before , the degree of difficulty
12:18
in that process of having new experiences
12:21
varies enormously from person
12:23
to person . You know , maybe you're a person
12:25
who's lived through some trauma or some really challenging
12:27
events in your past . Or maybe
12:30
for you , being willing to feel out
12:32
of control , willing to do that
12:34
, opening up your possibilities might
12:36
feel out of the question right now , and understandably
12:38
out
12:41
of the question right now and understandably If you've had actual health scares , maybe being willing
12:43
to experience physical symptoms without seeking reassurance and safety might
12:46
feel completely irresponsible . Or , like
12:48
if you're a parent , for instance , with intrusive
12:50
thoughts about harm , being willing to let
12:52
those thoughts be there might feel absolutely
12:55
unthinkable . That's okay . Like
12:58
listening to my words today might resonate
13:00
at some level , but
13:02
actually putting them into practice might take some time
13:05
, and I say this all the time
13:07
you get there , when you get there for your own reasons
13:09
. Be patient with yourself and recognize
13:11
the factors that might be unique
13:14
obstacles in your sort of brain
13:16
rewiring quest or journey . I
13:18
hate the word journey , but I just used it anyway . That
13:20
sucks . Anyway
13:26
, what we're really talking about here is opening ourselves up to a learning approach to anxiety
13:28
. So , instead of seeing each anxious moment as a threat to be eliminated
13:30
which we now know isn't
13:32
even possible on a consistent level we're
13:35
trying to see it as an opportunity to learn
13:37
something new about ourselves and our sense
13:39
of self-efficacy and our strengths
13:41
and our capabilities and what
13:44
we can really do if we're
13:46
pressed to do it , and then what we can learn
13:48
from that . So , when you feel that
13:50
wave of panic coming on , instead
13:52
of immediately fighting it , you might
13:54
wind up asking what can I learn
13:57
if I let this be here ? When
13:59
those disturbing thoughts show up , instead of instantly
14:01
trying to solve them ? You might wonder to yourself
14:03
well , what happens if I didn't engage with
14:05
these , even though I can clearly hear them ? What
14:08
happens if I don't answer them or have a conversation
14:10
with them ? But here's the part that
14:12
will start to trip people up , and I almost
14:14
feel like I need to say this twice , but I
14:16
will spare you that repetition
14:18
. When you're building these new
14:21
pathways , like I said before , the
14:23
old ones do not disappear
14:25
. You're not going to stop
14:28
having anxious responses or
14:30
scary thoughts . The goal is
14:32
never to not feel
14:34
anxiety again . The goal here
14:36
in the rewiring is to build new pathways
14:39
that give you options and choices
14:41
when anxiety shows up . But the old pathways
14:43
are still there . That's true , and
14:46
this is why people often get really frustrated in recovery
14:49
. They will say things like I'm doing
14:51
everything right , but I still get those weird breathing
14:53
sensations , for instance , or I'm having
14:55
those terrible thoughts or my heart
14:57
still races whenever I even think
14:59
about getting in the car and driving away from
15:01
my house , which might be my safe place Then
15:04
they see that as a failure because they're
15:06
expecting the rewiring process to
15:08
happen , almost because they just wanted
15:11
to before having experiences , and
15:13
they're hoping that the rewiring process will
15:15
eliminate those responses
15:17
, or that resistant response or
15:19
that anxious response or that fight
15:21
or flight response . That's not the way this
15:23
works right and that's not failure
15:26
. If you feel the fear or
15:28
you have doubt , or you have the thoughts
15:30
or you have the symptoms , it's simply not . Having
15:33
those things and working through them is part
15:35
of the rewiring process . If we're
15:38
talking about rewiring an anxious brain , we
15:40
cannot rewire an anxious
15:42
brain unless we are in
15:45
the anxious state . There's just
15:47
that part of the deal . We have to activate
15:49
the anxiety , to feed new information
15:51
into that model , and that's where the rewiring comes
15:53
from building those new pathways . So
15:56
remember we started with the idea that there's no delete
15:58
button in your brain . Those sensations and thoughts
16:01
will still show up . But when
16:03
we do rewire and build
16:05
new pathways which really what we're doing
16:07
is not necessarily rewiring but adding
16:09
wiring . Maybe that's a better way to say it where
16:11
we're adding more wiring , more
16:13
circuits . When we add
16:16
those new pathways , when those
16:18
scary things show up , you have
16:20
different options for how to respond
16:22
when they do , and that
16:24
makes a big difference , because having
16:27
options and how we respond is the thing that
16:29
frees us from the restrictions or
16:31
the conditions or the I can't , or
16:33
I can only if I have my safe person
16:35
or whatever it happens to be . But
16:38
the reality is that recovery
16:40
often looks like being more anxious in the short
16:43
term . This is true , again , if we can only
16:45
rewire by activating
16:47
the anxiety . If we have to activate
16:50
the fear , to write new information
16:52
into that model and build new pathways
16:55
and add that extra wiring , then you're
16:58
doing the opposite of what your brain has been
17:00
telling you to do . In the short term , you're
17:02
choosing to not run away from a racing
17:04
heart , for instance . You're choosing not to try
17:06
to frantically and urgently solve
17:09
your disturbing or intrusive thoughts . You're choosing
17:11
to let that dizzy feeling be there
17:14
while you continue your day
17:16
, which is not easy . And
17:18
that's where courage comes in . So this
17:20
isn't like movie Hollywood kind
17:22
of courage where you're just fearless and competent
17:24
, looks like nothing bothers you . This is
17:26
like the real kind of like actual , daily
17:28
, real person coverage , where you are scared
17:31
and unsure and uncertain and
17:33
not quite convinced that you
17:35
should be doing this , but you're willing to
17:37
try it anyway , you're willing to learn
17:40
. Maybe you're willing to be surprised
17:42
about what you might discover about yourself Because
17:44
, remember , in the context we're in right
17:46
now , even though the thoughts trigger
17:48
feelings about being in danger
17:50
, even though everything feels very scary
17:52
, even though it feels like something as bad as going to happen
17:55
in our context disordered anxiety
17:57
we feel afraid , but we are still
17:59
safe . You have to live there
18:01
. You got to start there first . So
18:04
remember , there's no rewiring to be
18:06
done , no new pathways , no
18:08
new options to open up . If you stop
18:10
at what it feels like Correct
18:12
, it does feel unsafe , but
18:15
it is not . That is a core
18:17
component of everything we talk about here . So keep
18:19
that in mind as we go , and I
18:21
think the key here is sort of finding
18:23
your starting point , wherever that might
18:25
be . You start where you are right , being willing
18:27
to learn from that experience , wherever it
18:29
is at the moment . So maybe you're
18:32
just not ready to have a full-blown
18:34
panic attack without fighting it . Many
18:36
people listening to this are at that point
18:38
. I'm just not ready to do that , drew , and guess
18:40
what ? That's okay . Maybe you could start
18:43
by willing to feel slightly elevated anxiety
18:45
for a few minutes without running or fighting it . Or
18:47
maybe you're not ready to completely ignore
18:49
your disturbing thoughts . I get it Feels
18:52
wrong to do that , feels too dangerous , that's
18:54
fine . Perhaps you can sort of practice letting
18:56
just one thought pass by without
18:58
engaging with it , test it , experiment
19:01
. We talked a couple episodes ago about the
19:03
use of micro exposures . That counts
19:05
too . That's an opportunity to start to do little
19:08
experiments and test things
19:10
out without going all the
19:12
way in and diving completely off the cliff . To
19:14
start to open yourself up to the possibility
19:17
that like , oh , if I do have these other
19:19
experiences , I do wind up okay , so
19:21
I can start having trying these
19:23
new things , trying different options , behaving
19:25
differently , feed new information into the model
19:28
, build new pathways on top of
19:30
the old ones or next to the old ones , add more wiring
19:32
and rewire , if you will
19:34
. Rewire is probably the wrong word . Now that I
19:36
think about it . Anyway , what
19:39
do I want to talk about ? Let's talk about again
19:41
. This is not about just thinking your
19:43
way into new beliefs or
19:45
new pathways or rewiring or
19:47
adding wiring just by talking or thinking
19:49
or listening or discussing . It has nothing to do
19:51
with positive thinking . It has nothing to do with telling
19:54
yourself everything is fine over and over and over
19:56
. That's never going to work . This
19:58
is about having these actual experiences
20:00
that teach your brain , through practice and repetition
20:02
, that you actually can handle the
20:04
things that you have been hellbent
20:07
to avoid for maybe a very long time
20:09
, which is really difficult . I get it . So
20:12
, before we wrap up , I want to be clear
20:14
about something , and I want to go back
20:16
to this again because I think it's so important . More
20:18
and more and more I see , especially as the audience
20:20
grows , people that feel a little bit annoyed
20:23
because they feel like I'm trying to just , oh , just do
20:25
this , just do this . It's not just
20:27
. None of this is just . This is not easy , it's
20:30
not comfortable , it's not a quick fix
20:32
, but
20:34
my theoretical orientation toward anxiety
20:37
disorders , which is based on just decades of
20:39
data and a mountain of evidence we have a lot
20:41
of data that tells us this is it . This
20:43
is kind of the way forward , right , it is the path
20:45
to recovery , not because it makes anxiety
20:48
go away forever . Remember , that's not possible
20:50
. There's no delete button in your brain , in
20:52
your nervous system , but because it teaches
20:54
you that you can live your life even
20:56
when anxiety is present
20:58
. I can have options . There
21:01
are other alternatives other than declaring
21:04
failure , running , getting my safe person , looking
21:06
for help , restricting my life . There are other
21:08
options . I can learn that through experience
21:10
, taking risks and learning that I'm more
21:12
capable than I've ever given myself credit for . That's
21:15
really what rewiring
21:18
an anxious brain means . It's not
21:20
about learning to stay calm all the time . It's
21:22
not about managing your symptoms . It's not about biohacking
21:25
. It's not about regulating your nervous system . It's not about managing your symptoms . It's not about biohacking
21:27
. It's not about regulating your nervous system . It's not about preventing panic attacks
21:29
or disturbing thoughts . It's all about
21:31
building those new pathways that give you options
21:34
and alternatives when
21:36
your anxiety shows up . It gives you
21:38
your choice back . It helps you recognize
21:40
that you do have choice and then exercise
21:43
that choice . It's about learning experience
21:45
that you can handle the very things you've
21:47
been trying so , so hard
21:49
to avoid . So there you
21:51
go . That is episode 307 of the
21:53
anxious truth in the books . I'm not going to do the music thing
21:55
because I'm frankly tired of editing that , so
21:57
I will just say if you found this video
22:00
or this podcast episode helpful . If
22:02
you're on YouTube , please consider liking the
22:04
video and maybe subscribe to the channel
22:06
. If you're watching on YouTube , drop a comment below
22:08
. If you have questions . I do my best
22:10
to respond when I can , even though lately
22:12
I've been very pressed for time to do that
22:14
, but I promise I'll get back in as soon as I can
22:16
. If you're listening as a podcast
22:18
episode and you're on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
22:21
or some platform that lets you rate or review
22:23
this and you dig it , maybe
22:28
leave a five-star rating or even write a short review that tells the world why you dig it
22:30
and it helps more people find the podcast , then it helps more people
22:32
access this information if they need it , and
22:34
that's kind of why I do this to begin with . So
22:37
I appreciate you guys hanging out with me
22:39
every other week Actually , that's what I do this now
22:41
and supporting this thing that I do and those of you
22:43
who listen to Disordered , which is the podcast
22:45
I do with Josh Fletcher every week . Thank you for that as
22:47
well . You find that at disorderedfm . And
22:49
just a quick reminder every single time
22:52
you choose to handle anxiety differently
22:54
, respond to it differently , act
22:56
differently and against that survival
22:58
instinct , taking that risk . Every
23:01
time you do that , even in small , the
23:03
tiniest ways , you're actually helping
23:05
to build those new pathways . That is
23:07
the business of rewiring . Though it may
23:09
take a lot of small steps and take a long
23:11
time , be patient , keep at it and
23:13
see you in two weeks . Take care , we'll see you next time .
