But it also is the same thing that keeps me in the studio obsessing over something that’s never going to be right anyways, that I already know somewhere deep down is not right for hours and hours and hours,” he said. “And I’m just losing touch with everything else — it’s so easy to get obsessed.“Lauv also revealed the habits he had developed that help him cope with it."[Something] I have been doing for a long time, but I just feel like I keep getting deeper and deeper into it is meditation, it’s a huge thing for me,” he said. “I’ve definitely connected a lot more to the spiritual side of things as opposed to only just — I think before it was like I was learning how to go deeper in therapy and learning more about the medication I was prescribed and stuff like that. But now I’ve been way more open to some more spiritual stuff.”
