Because to care about something, 174 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 4: to have you know, passion behind something is I think 175 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 4: the most important thing in life, right Like, if we 176 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: don't have that, then what is the point. So to 177 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: care to invest your time, your energy, your emotions into 178 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 4: something that is all kind of I think what we 179 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 4: strive for end life because the happiest people in the 180 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 4: world are the ones that give a shit that the 181 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 4: ones that like really put their heart and soul into 182 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 4: they invest. The most unhappy people are the ones that 183 00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 4: are very surface level. 184 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 2: And a lot. So that is caring. 185 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 4: And I think bothered is things that it's kind of 186 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: It looks like overthinking, It looks like being irritable, It 187 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 4: looks like being embarrassed and revisiting embarrassing moments. It looks 188 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 4: like trying to mind read Oh my god, they're maybe 189 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: thinking these or oh my god, oh or you know, 190 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: or they're going to want me to say this, or 191 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: you know, people pleasing it is all these things. It's 192 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 4: trying to mold yourself into something because you think you're 193 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: going to get a better result. So I've got to 194 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 4: pretend to be someone else so he likes my message 195 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 4: or he replies to me, or all that kind of stuff. 196 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: So that's bothered. I'm now bothered. 197 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 4: And also to add another layer to that, when you're unbothered, 198 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: it should never negatively impact somebody else. 199 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: So it shouldn't be like I don't give a fuck, 200 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: I'm not fuck. It's not not caring. 201 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 4: It's I need to be less bothered, so this doesn't 202 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 4: affect my mental health. That's how you want to look 203 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 4: at being unbothered. Care, care about the people you love, 204 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 4: care about your life, passions, put in all your energy 205 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 4: into that, but not into the stuff that makes you bothered. 206 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 4: You know, because something that's important isn't bothering you. It 207 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 4: might be weighing on you, it might be you know, 208 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: but it shouldn't bother you. So that's how I differentiate 209 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 4: the two. 210 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: I love sad. 211 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's an important distinction. And you recently 212 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: did an episode on how to enter our Unbothered era 213 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 3: and you had five steps. Yes, so we'll start with 214 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: step one, which was detach. Can you explain that process 215 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 3: of how we attach ourselves to things that bother us, 216 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: how to identify that and then how to detach. 217 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so we I think that it's so easy to 218 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: become attached to something. 219 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: And the reason we become attached to things, whether. 220 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 4: It be through limeerents, like somebody that is not texting 221 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 4: us back, and we're attached to that, whether it be 222 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 4: something about our identity, whether it be you know, we 223 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 4: attach ourselves to the outcome of something so heavily. And 224 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 4: the reason for that is because like attracts like. And 225 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 4: I say it all the fucking time, but basically, one 226 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 4: thought makes it so much easier to think of a 227 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: similar thought and then a similar feeling thought similar, and 228 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 4: that's where we end up spiraling. 229 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: That's like catastrophic thoughts, that's you know. So that's how it. 230 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 4: Becomes really easy to be attached to something. And also 231 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 4: it comes down to how much emotion you are putting 232 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 4: behind that thing. So when something is emotionally charged, whether 233 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 4: it's good or whether it's bad, we get deeper and 234 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 4: deeper and deeper into that emotion. So one of the 235 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 4: best ways to become less attached when you're looking at 236 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 4: a negative emotion like anxiety or fear or you know, 237 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 4: fear of the unknown is to name what it is 238 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 4: that is causing you this like anguish in your body. 239 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 4: So for example, you could be like, you know, you 240 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 4: feel a straight away, you feel a change in your body. 241 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: Always listen to your body first, and you think, okay, 242 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 4: I feel a bit heavier. I'm just like, something's clearly wrong. 243 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 4: When did this start? And then you think it's when 244 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 4: I received that text message. It's when I open my emails, 245 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 4: That's when it started. Then you think a kind going 246 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 4: to name it was the email that I received from 247 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 4: this person. Okay, now I've named it. And it sounds 248 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: so basic because you're just naming something, but you actually 249 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: use a different part of the brain when you name something. 250 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: And it's been tested on all kinds of different fears, 251 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: Like they've done studies on this stuff. 252 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: And one of the major studies that actually. 253 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: Did it on people with like full blown orchnophobia, like 254 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 4: fear of spiders. They had a group of people who 255 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 4: would go and interact or just. 256 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: Like get really close to a spider. So one group 257 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: had to be. 258 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: Like, just let just just be emotional, just be and 259 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 4: so they're like, oh my god, hyperventilating, having a really 260 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 4: bad time. The other group just had to name what 261 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 4: they were feeling, like, I'm feeling very scared, I'm feeling actually, 262 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 4: i'm feeling sweaty, I'm feeling whatever. Then the other group 263 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 4: had to be like, I'm all good, it's fine, i 264 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 4: feel great, it's all good. 265 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 2: Then the next time round, they. 266 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: Wanted to see how it changed how they approached the 267 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 4: spider the next time, like two days later. I can't 268 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: remember the time frame, but there was like a bit 269 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 4: of a wash out period they went and the people 270 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: that named their fear were able to get a lot 271 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: closer to that spider. They were able to rationalize their 272 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 4: fear so much more. And the reason for that, it's 273 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 4: called name it to tainment, And you can do this 274 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 4: with any emotion. The reason for that is when we 275 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 4: feel an emotional feeling, you're using like the amygdala, the 276 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 4: olympic system. 277 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: It's like part of the mid brain. It's more primitive. 278 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 4: It's what causes us to respond in the moment, so 279 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: we need it. It's important. But then it goes like 280 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 4: off the rails for a lot of us, and then 281 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: when you for most of us, and then when you 282 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 4: name it, you're using your prefrontal cortex that's like you're 283 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 4: reasoning your forward planning, your executive function. So that causes instantly, 284 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 4: it causes these two brain regions to communicate, so you're 285 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 4: already in your head without having to talk yourself down 286 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: off the ledge. Your brain's already doing that for you. 287 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 4: It starts to reason. So it doesn't it doesn't eliminate 288 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 4: the stimulus. The spider is still there, the person still 289 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 4: hasn't messaged you back, but your brain stops catastrophsing. Yeah, 290 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: I'm still aware that this thing is there, but I'm 291 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 4: so much more capable for dealing with it right now instantly, 292 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 4: like takes the edge off. There's going to be a 293 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 4: population of people out there because I did a TikTok 294 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 4: on this and so many people like, wow, it's worked 295 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 4: straight away, This has worked for me, And there's like 296 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 4: a couple of like this doesn't work for me. 297 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: It's like, this is general advice. There might be one 298 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 2: or two people that need to try. 299 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 4: It a few tu difference, but for the general population, 300 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 4: that is one of the best ways to detach yourself 301 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 4: from an emotional investment in something that feels really negative. 302 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, also like things like that, it does take work. 303 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: It does take effort, and it does depend on the 304 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: thing that you're dealing with. It's like a big time 305 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's not a way to be like if 306 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: you're stressed. 307 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: And like, no, don't be stressed. 308 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like when someone's sad and they're like, no, 309 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: be sad, and it's like no, it's not going to 310 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: work like that. 311 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, And we're not saying you're going to cure the problem. 312 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 4: If I'm feeling heartbroken and I'm having a really really 313 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: bad time, I can just be like, look, I'm feeling 314 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 4: really anxious because and I can just explain what's going 315 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 4: on to myself. 316 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: That doesn't remove the heartbreaking. 317 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Is it just you know, yeah, it seem sort of 318 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: cognitive diffusion. Yes, yeah. So it's like you're naming the 319 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: feeling exactly and the emotion rather than that it being 320 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: a fact exactly. Yeah. 321 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 4: So you're just yeah, and you're like kind of talking 322 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: yourself through what it is that you're experiencing, and you're 323 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 4: just really, what you're aiming to do is to. 324 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: Get the brain regions communicating better. 325 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 4: And when they communicate better than you, you self soothe 326 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: a whole lot better. 327 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: And I also find it so interesting that the denial 328 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: group wasn't the best I know, because it's you can 329 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: so often think that if you know positive affirmations, but 330 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: it's like not acknowledging it and just burying it. Yes, 331 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: wasn't actually the best method. 332 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people think, oh, well, I've 333 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 4: got to think positive thoughts all the time. 334 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: I got to think good thoughts. But it's not. 335 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 4: It's I need to know what I'm feeling so I 336 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 4: can actually process it better. Like and this is me 337 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 4: going on a tangent, but there's other studies that we've 338 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: done that people that cry when they need to cry 339 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 4: are a lot happier than people that try and hold 340 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 4: back tears. 341 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 5: Crying so happy. 342 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: It's actually really therapeutic. It's like a tactical cry. 343 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: If you can cry when you actually so, it's not 344 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 4: saying I'll put it on a sad song and force 345 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 4: yourself to cry. That's not at all it and it 346 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 4: doesn't recommend that you do that. But if you're like, 347 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 4: oh my god, I need to grunte to cry, because 348 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 4: it's sure like neurochemicals that gets released in your tears 349 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: that make you feel better. So it's never about avoiding 350 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 4: your emotions. It's feel it, but don't exacerbate it and 351 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 4: don't force yourself to spiral. 352 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I feel like a tactical cry in 353 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: your late twenties and thirties is like a tactical bomb. 354 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, tactical cry is the new tactical bomb. Yeah, that's 355 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: your lesson. 356 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: What if you're. 357 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 5: Vomiting and crying? 358 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: Okay, So let's move on to step two, which is 359 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: the pause. So how can you identify the triggers? 360 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: The pause is a great thing. 361 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 4: So the pause is literally for anything that requires a 362 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 4: bit of thought or emotion behind it. 363 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: And I'll get into that in one second. 364 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 4: Give yourself a pause that's long enough to take a 365 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: deep breath. 366 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 2: Okay. 367 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 4: So, for example, if you're someone with social anxiety and 368 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: someone invites you out and you're a people pleaser, and 369 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 4: you say, oh yeah, yeah, yep, and then you're like, 370 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 4: how do I cancel later? How do I This is 371 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 4: where you take a breath. Doesn't even have to be 372 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 4: that obvious. 373 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 2: You don't have to be like you just quietly go pause, 374 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: and then you say can I get back to you 375 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: on that? 376 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 4: You've already just made your life so much because when 377 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 4: you pause, you stop going you go. 378 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: From reactive to proactive. 379 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 4: You give yourself that moment your brain thing switches on, 380 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 4: it switches, something changes, and you think, I've got that 381 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 4: one moment to become self aware enough that I'm not 382 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: going to be reactive anymore. I had that moment to 383 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 4: remove the reactivity, and now I can say, and you 384 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 4: can prep yourself for these things. 385 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: I'll get back to you on that. I have to 386 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: check my diary. 387 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 4: And then when you're in your own comfortable space, you think, 388 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 4: am I actually do I actually want to be at 389 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 4: this event? And if I do, how can I prepare 390 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 4: myself so I feel safe going to this event without 391 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 4: having like a full mental breakdown when I'm there. 392 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 2: Or another thing would be if I'm really. 393 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 4: Angry and someone says something to me and I snap 394 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 4: and say something hopeful and then I've got demons take 395 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 4: a pause and just say I need to talk about 396 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 4: this at another time, or like I need a moment. 397 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 2: I just need a moment. 398 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 4: Like I always say to people, if you're having an 399 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 4: argument with your partner, the healthiest thing you can do 400 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 4: is like, can we just have five and come back, 401 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 4: Because by the time. 402 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: You come back, you are not screaming at each other. Yeah, 403 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: and you communicate so much better because people are. 404 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 4: Like, but I want it now in the moment, it's like, no, 405 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 4: I'm giving you the worst version of myself right now. 406 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: This is just not helpful. 407 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 4: So the same God, there's so many times where you're 408 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 4: basically when you think, if I'm reacting, if I'm going 409 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 4: to react, take a breath. And the other reason why 410 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 4: it's important to and ideally take a big breath if 411 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 4: possible is this the sigh. When you take a sigh 412 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 4: and the best so dogs teach us a lot about this. 413 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 4: So dogs, if you observe a dog just before they're 414 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 4: going to go to sleep, they will. 415 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: Circle, SoC socle, lie down, huge sign, I do yes. 416 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 5: And when you've got a dog and you go big. 417 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 4: S And so dogs when they want to drift into 418 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 4: a different state, either date, relaxation, or sleep, they'll do 419 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 4: a big sign because they're like telling their brain I'm 420 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 4: changing states. What happens is you basically go into reactivity. 421 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: You know you're changing. 422 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 4: You know your nervous system is always telling you, do 423 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 4: I need to be on high alert or can I relax? 424 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 4: So if you're on high alert, you're not digesting properly. 425 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 4: That's why stress causes a lot of digestive issues. When 426 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 4: you're you know, you're like your heart is racing, you 427 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 4: don't feel that good. If you are anxious and stressed, 428 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 4: you are not doing a deep breath, so your body 429 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 4: knows that, so you trick your body. A deep sigh 430 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 4: makes your body think, well, I mustn't be under threat 431 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 4: if I can take a nice, long, deep breath, so 432 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 4: you instantly switch into rest and relaxation mode. You tell 433 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 4: your brain has a switch, and you think, oh, well, 434 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 4: I must be okay because. 435 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: If you actually were danger, because if. 436 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 4: It was actually made at danger, you couldn't stop and 437 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 4: have a big side. You were actually responding to the 438 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 4: d You're like, oh well, I'm about to be hit 439 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 4: bike a big side. 440 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: Like you wouldn't. You're like, I need to actually respond 441 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: right now. 442 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,239 Speaker 4: So when you're able to do the big site, it's 443 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 4: almost like you're intercepting what's happening. So that's why, when 444 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 4: ever possible, in this pause time, you're like, change my state, 445 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 4: change my state before I react, big breath, let it 446 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 4: all out, and instantly you're able to be like, I 447 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 4: can't give you the answer right now, or just I 448 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 4: need a moment, or you know, I'm not gonna say 449 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 4: that hateful thing. I can just say what I actually 450 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 4: mean without lashing out. There's so many moments where you think, wow, 451 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 4: the way I reacted to that. 452 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 2: I'm actually now less bothered. 453 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 4: But if I reacted in a way that was that 454 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 4: was lashing out, not only have you probably hurt someone 455 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 4: with what you've said, but then you've also got demons 456 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 4: for weeks to come being like now I'm a psycho. 457 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 5: Like I didn't want to react that way, and that's 458 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 5: bothering you. 459 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: Then you're bothered, you know. 460 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 4: So I think it's so important if you can master 461 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 4: the pause, it will change your life and you become 462 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: a much more relaxed person because that then becomes automatic. 463 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: It's like it's. 464 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 4: Kind of forced at the start, but then the more 465 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 4: you do it, your body just uses that as the 466 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 4: automatic reply every time. 467 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: I really love that analogy, not even an analogy, but 468 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: that example. 469 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 4: Of the dogs, and now when you see a dog doing. 470 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: It's so I feel like even just visualizing that makes 471 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: it so helpful. It's like when you're like spiraling your baby, 472 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: like no, think of a dogs, like. 473 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: Think of the dog trying to fall asleep, huge sigh, 474 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: and then they're. 475 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: Off to I love that. It's like a magic trick. 476 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 3: Yeah it is, because like why can't our brains tell 477 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 3: the difference between I've received an email and I'm getting 478 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 3: chased down. 479 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 2: By a bear? Like why those responses are the same. 480 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 3: But I love that in having that in your tool kit, 481 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 3: let's go onto step three self talk. So how does 482 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 3: the way that we speak to ourselves impact our emotions 483 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 3: and how we respond to things? 484 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so massively. 485 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 4: So kind of similar to what I was talking about 486 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 4: with you know, getting different brain regions to communicate with 487 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 4: each other, and it helps talk you down at the 488 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 4: ledge like name entertainment. Self talk overall makes you feel 489 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 4: a whole lot more more in control of your emotions. 490 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 4: That's kind of the basis of this whole unbothered thing 491 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 4: is I want to be in control of my emotions, 492 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 4: and I don't want my emotions to be in control 493 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 4: of me. It's not about not feeling emotions. You still 494 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 4: should feel the entire spectrum of emotions that there is. 495 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 4: Like I still get anxious, I still get hurt, I 496 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 4: still get embarrassed, I still you know, because I think 497 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: people think, well, how do you never It's like, I 498 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 4: feel everything you feel. But I guess the thing that 499 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 4: I like to claim is that I can intercept it 500 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 4: relatively quickly. Yeah, you know so, And that is in 501 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 4: how you talk to yourself. So, for example, you have 502 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 4: a thought about yourself or about a situation, and you 503 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: want to look at how you are wording that thought 504 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 4: and if the wording is really universal. Like, for example, 505 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 4: let's say you embarrass yourself. 506 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: In front of someone. 507 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 4: You like, I'm a failure, I'm an idiot, I'm so stupid, 508 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 4: I'm so this, I'm sorry, and then you start and 509 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,479 Speaker 4: then you feel really bad. And even if you're not 510 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 4: speaking the words, because some people say, oh but I 511 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 4: don't think in words, but you're feeling it. You're feeling shame, 512 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 4: you feel embarrassment, you feel like you don't want to 513 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 4: be seen in public. You feel but we all know 514 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 4: that feeling. But we're being very catastrophic here. So what 515 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 4: you have to do is then name again, name the thing, 516 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 4: but replace it with a statement. And when you replace 517 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 4: it with a statement like I'm all for affirmations, I'm 518 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 4: big on affirmations. 519 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: However, you've got to do them right for them to work. 520 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 4: And if you're in a really low vibration state, like 521 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 4: I'm a failure to then say everybody loves me does 522 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 4: not feel real and then you're like shit. 523 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: And so what I. 524 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 4: Say is like, what is a thought that's a bit 525 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 4: more empowering than that. So you could say, if you think, 526 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm so embarrassed, I'm such a failure, 527 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 4: I'm this and that, just say I embarrass myself one 528 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 4: time I provide so much laughter to my friends, or 529 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 4: I provide so much value to my friends. 530 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: You know. 531 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 4: You know, I can think of one example where I 532 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 4: embarrass myself, but I can think of three really great 533 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: examples where I've excelled socially, like I just pulled my 534 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 4: friend out of her heartbreak yesterday, or I just, you know, 535 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 4: was that shoulder to cry on for somebody else, Or 536 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 4: I made these people laugh or I you know, So 537 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 4: that you start to counter and that's with yourself talk. 538 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 4: So then the more you do that, the easier it 539 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 4: is to counteract thought. It takes practice, just like any 540 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 4: you know, growing a muscle or whatever, but eventually that 541 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 4: actually becomes automatic in the brain. So if we're someone 542 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: that instantly thinks the worst and starts to spiral and 543 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,479 Speaker 4: the only way we snap out of it is by 544 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 4: being distracted. 545 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 2: Then you've never fixed the problem. So you want to 546 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 2: be like, I don't want. 547 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 4: To wait for a distraction for me to start feeling 548 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 4: better about myself. I want to be the one who 549 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 4: can pull myself out of this. I want to be 550 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 4: able to rely on myself to pull myself out of 551 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 4: this really like low feeling thought, and the same thing 552 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 4: goes for like, oh I failed that exam, Now I 553 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 4: feel like a failure. You can think I failed one thing, 554 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 4: but here's three things that have really succeeded at. He's 555 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 4: three things that are pretty good at And then when 556 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 4: you go to that next step, then you think it's 557 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 4: possible for me to get better at that. 558 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 2: It's possible. What would it take for me to actually 559 00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 2: be good at this? 560 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 4: When you go from this like low vibration to think 561 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: I could do that, this could be possible. 562 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: This you know, same like when you're embarrassed. It's like 563 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: embarrassing things happen to people. 564 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 4: All the time, and I've there's been things that have 565 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 4: happened to my friends that have been so embarrassing that 566 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 4: I've been laughing my head off that I now can't recall, 567 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 4: and it's like in stitches laughing and now I'm. 568 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 5: Like, I could remember that, but I'm that friend I don't. 569 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 2: Being hilarious. 570 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 4: So it's like, really, just like you've got to you 571 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 4: need to kind of minimize it, because we're very good 572 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 4: at grabbing one isolated event and magnifying at times one 573 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: hundred and thinking that everyone else perceives it the way 574 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 4: we perceive it. It's never the case. It's never the case. 575 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 4: Even if people laugh at you, it's still never the case, 576 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 4: you know, because they've got their own shit. They might 577 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 4: have laughed, but now they're thinking about something else. You 578 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 4: can't let that determine how you're going to behave around 579 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 4: that same person again in the future and things like that. 580 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: So that's what I mean by how you talk to yourself. 581 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 4: You're just basically thinking of how can I counter this 582 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 4: with a more empowering thoughts. 583 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: Okay, we've got two more steps, So the emotional toolkit. 584 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 5: What is an emotional toolkit? 585 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 4: So an emotional toolkit is something that you can refer 586 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 4: back to that will always lift your mood and make 587 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 4: you feel either funny like me, Yeah, like a menu, 588 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 4: but even easier than a dopamine menu because you don't 589 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 4: even have to be doing things. So I have, for example, 590 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 4: so I got a list of funny things. 591 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: So that's one thing that I could go to. 592 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 4: I've got a particular playlist that I have that it's 593 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 4: literally to turn my mood around. That for me is 594 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 4: you've got to really curate that playlist. It kind of 595 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 4: any sad lyrics, it kind of any it's got to 596 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 4: be an empowering playlist. If any song that could pick 597 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 4: any song out of that playlist and be like, no, 598 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 4: I'm in a better mood. 599 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 5: What kind of song's on it? 600 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 4: Oh, there's all sorts of things. I've got like reggaeton 601 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 4: in there. I've got a lot of like nineties music 602 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 4: that's been remade into house all music classics. It's just 603 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 4: empowering banger after banger. 604 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: Love it. So that is another one. 605 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 4: Another one is like I've got a whole bunch of 606 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 4: screenshots from people that have written to me with the podcast. 607 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 4: So if I'm ever like or if I'm ever feeling 608 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 4: like a little bit like lacking in like inspiration for 609 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 4: the podcast, if I just read a few. 610 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 2: Of those, I'm like, oh my god, I'm so inspired. 611 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: You know. 612 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 4: So when you're needing that inspiration, then I think that's 613 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 4: where you kind of lean towards the screenshots, the music, 614 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 4: the funny thing.

Yes, can you explain what that 639 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 3: is and the psychology behind a micro joy moment? 640 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 4: Definitely, So we I think, get so like caught up 641 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 4: in I will be happy when this thing happens, and 642 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 4: I'll be happy when I'm in. 643 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: A relationship and when this. 644 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 4: So we've got these big markers of what we deem 645 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 4: to be success emotionally and career wise and all these things. 646 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 4: But if you're trying to work towards all of these 647 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 4: things while at the same time spiraling being really bothered 648 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 4: about things all the time, then it's almost count productive 649 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 4: to you achieving anything. Like I was kind of saying before, 650 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 4: like do less to do more. It's kind of even emotionally, 651 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 4: if everything is in the future, everything's like that will 652 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 4: happen when when this? Then we're not actually ever enjoying 653 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 4: the present. And sometimes you never want to look back 654 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 4: and be like, oh my god, they were such good days. 655 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: Why was I not thrilled back then? So happy back then? 656 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 4: So basically you want to wake up and almost prime 657 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 4: yourself so you're more aware of these moments, but you 658 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 4: want to wake up and think it's my It's like, 659 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 4: it's at the top of my list to find joyful 660 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 4: moments today. So like little joyful moments, because when you've 661 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 4: primed yourself to look for them, then when they happen, 662 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 4: you don't brush over them thinking, oh, like you lean in. 663 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 4: For example, when I get home, and this is something 664 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 4: that I've really leant into lately. I get home, I'll 665 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 4: put everything down and I'll sit on the floor and 666 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 4: I'll have at least five minutes if my dog and 667 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 4: I don't. 668 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 2: Listen to anything, and I'm like squeezing.
