Speaker 2: She looks like a fairy princess. Obsessed, And I think

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: it was like kind of known that like Brittany could

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: hold a tune. I had no idea, No, it was

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: like I will watch like a bit of her content

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: here and there, and sometimes like she'll like sing song

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: certain words and stuff like that. That it was like

28
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: pretty known that Brittany could hold a tune. Yeah, right,

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,959

Speaker 3: That's what it felt like.

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: So basically, if you haven't seen it, Brittany Broski who

34
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: went viral and basically jumped on the map, the social

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: media map, was because she was the kombucher girl, yes,

36
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: who made that viral meme and then from there has

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: literally built such an incredible platform. And she's so fucking funny.

Speaker 1: UK brand and they recently launched into Australia in Sephora,

68
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: but they've been going viral overseas for a while now,

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: so it was very exciting that they've launched into Australia

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: and we got to meet the founders of the brand

71
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: and have a little chat with them and got to

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,640

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: of Sephora event that we went to, And yeah, I've

00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: been trying out a couple of their products for the

75
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: last three weeks or so, so still relatively new, but

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: I've been really loving the gel moisturizer in the range

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: because the entire brand is all about like protecting your

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: skin barrier, which is very important. And all of the

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: products are also priced under thirty dollars.

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: So good, which especially in Sephora.

81
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: You're like, what, Yeah, Like that's good anywhere, but especially

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: for Sephora, I would say, And yeah, I've been loving

83
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: the moisturizer so far. It's really gentle, which has been

84
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: really nice because I've been having some skin concerns.

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's lovely, gorgeous.

86
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into the episode. Okay, let's get

87
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: into our affordable rules that make life more fun. And

88
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: these are designed to make every week, every day more

89
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: fun because I think especially with you know, the like

90
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: there's news cycle burnout, you know, drinking your fucking full

91
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: liters of water, going for your ten case steps, calling

92
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: your mum, doing your work, getting promotions, sending an email

93
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: to marketing, like it's very very easy to fall out

94
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: of having fun. And Sal and I when Sal and

95
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: I went to Disneyland a few years ago, they before

96
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: they start the Fireworks show, they have this quote, and

97
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing, but it says, when you're a little kid,

98
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: you like believe in fun, and as we get older,

99
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: we stop believing in it. So we invite you to

100
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 2: have some fun.

101
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: And I was like, ah, it's like, why are you.

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: Honestly, they know what they're doing.

103
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: They know what they're doing.

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: I was like, cool, I'm already crying. The show hasn't

105
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: even started.

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 4: Very good.

107
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: I turned to Soul and she's just a puddle exactly.

108
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, turn out of ten. So whilst

109
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: it seems so small and frivolous to be like, have

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: more fun, here are the rules to have more fun,

111
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: it's a lot bigger than that. It is an intentional decision.

112
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: I think like to have more fun because whilst routine

113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: is amazing for creating structure and also healthy and positive habits,

114
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: there is definitely this this pool of routine or rut.

115
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: I think and understanding that your routine, if there's no

116
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: excitement and there's no fun, that's not necessarily routine.

117
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: That's rut.

118
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and sometimes always living by a routine, and I

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: love a routine. Like whenever I'm not doing certain things

120
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: in the week, I can feel it. Right. I'm not

121
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: saying that's not good, but I'm just saying, when you

122
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: don't mix shit up, where's the fun? Where's the play? Yeah?

123
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: Build fun into the routine, exact space for fun.

124
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: So that's what we're going to chat through in this

125
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: episode of our five rules to make every single week fun.

126
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: The first rule to have more fun is to create

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: an excitement list. So this was a recent viral TikTok

128
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 2: which you may have seen and I'll link the creator below,

129
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: And basically, at the start of every week, you create

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: an excitement list, so you think about the week ahead

131
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: and you're like, what am I excited for? And you

132
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: have to pull in I would say, like at least

133
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: five and have something that you're looking forward to and

134
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: being so mindful about it, because when you're like going

135
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: into it and you're like, oh, like what do we

136
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: think about them? On Sundays, it's like, oh, what do

137
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: I have on for work? And the life admin that

138
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: you have to do, Yeah, I be like, oh gosh,

139
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: my clothes going to do that, but eh, And in

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: this video she was saying, just how like you're missing

141
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: out on the most like positive but also simplest form

142
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: of journaling because I get it, like journaling is a

143
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: time investment. It's hard to stick to and you might

144
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: not necessarily have like thirty minutes a day, and you

145
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: might also feel like you've been like dear dairy. Yeah,

146
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: So like, I think lists are a really great way

147
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: to get started in journaling and kind of build on

148
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: from there. But yeah, just made me think of, like,

149
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: what's on my excitement list for next week? So what's

150
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: on yours.

151
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm having a birthday lunch on the weekend with some

152
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: of my old friends, which.

153
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: Will be lovely.

154
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm also excited to get back into going to the

155
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: gym because I've been sick the last week and haven't

156
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: been able to do that. But I think I'm going

157
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: to mix it up and try out some new workouts

158
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: from the kickapp that I haven't done, which I'm excited

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: to do because that always just makes it a little

160
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: bit more of a fresh challenge. And then I think

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, I'm going to have a sleep in, which

162
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually really excited for as well.

163
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: I love that one, yeah, because I love like that's

164
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: like the smallest thing. But you're excited, I know, yeah,

165
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: And I just know I'm going to feel so good.

166
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: What's yours?

167
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: My excitement lists for the next week? Every morning?

168
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: Coffee very good.

169
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to a musical with my mum.

170
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: That'll be great.

171
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm picking up a new foster kitten. That's probably the

172
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: one that can add that to mine too.

173
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: Yea, his name is Beanbag bean for sure.

174
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: By the time this episode.

175
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: Comes out, I think you're already be home. Yeah, I'm

176
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: not allowed to say that. I've also been told I'm

177
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: not allowed to rename him.

178
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: Hmm, but it's already happened.

179
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: Actually, bean Bags growing on me being bags kute because

180
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I do like bean for sure, bean and banks.

181
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's cute, Beanie.

182
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: The thing I love about the excitement list is that

183
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: if you sit down and you're kind of drawing a

184
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: blank and you're like, oh, I don't really have anything

185
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: that I'm excited about for the next week, that's your

186
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: opportunity to add something into the week that excites you. Yes,

187
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: whether that's okay, Well, I'm going to cook my favorite

188
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: meal on Monday, or I'm going to take myself to

189
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: the movies on Thursday, and make that conscious effort to

190
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: schedule those things in if they're not already lined up

191
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: for you, because otherwise, I think then you don't realize.

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: You look back on the week and you're like, where

193
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: did that week go? What did I do?

194
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can be a little bit more intentional about

195
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: scheduling those fun times in as well as acknowledging the

196
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: fun things that are already going to happen.

197
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: I love that if someone's like, how is you week,

198
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: and you're like, yeah, it was all right. You need

199
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: to do an excitement list.

200
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

201
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: Rule number two, number two the two hour catch up

202
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: hit me okay in January. Earlier this year, there was

203
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: an article published by the Atlantic, which is a US

204
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: based publication, and the headline that stirred some conversation was

205
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: Americans need to party more, which I was like, okay,

206
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: brat summer Yes, continued on where like hungover and be like.

207
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: I was like, they were like not Youtubo though YouTube

208
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: are fine, I was gonna say.

209
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't actually know if we do.

210
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: Because we have such a big friendship group that it

211
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: feels like every two weeks at somebody's birthday and there's

212
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: a reason to celebrate, which is really nice.

213
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: But I'm taking this as a sign to be Alexa

214
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: play get this party started by ping.

215
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

216
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: But in the article, they explained that loneliness has become.

217
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: An urgent public issue in the US.

218
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: I reckon you could say that worldwide, right, I.

219
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: Was thinking the same thing.

220
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: But in this particular article, they cited a study that

221
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: found that Americans reported having an average of about four

222
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: or five friends, which is pretty normal, but forty percent

223
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: felt they were not as emotionally close to their friends

224
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: as they would like to be, and a similar number

225
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: wish they had more time to spend with their friends. So,

226
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: like we said, this is obviously a US study, but

227
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: I think anecdotally we can say that we feel this ourselves,

228
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: and we've heard other people say similar things in our

229
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: friendship groups, especially as you are getting into your later

230
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: twenties and early thirties, because people get busier and it's

231
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: harder to make time for your friends and to socialize

232
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: and to partey if you will. And according to the article,

233
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: they think it's because America is in a party deficit.

234
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: So in this article.

235
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: They found that only four point one percent of Americans

236
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: attended or hosted a social event on an average weekend

237
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: or holiday in twenty twenty three, which is a thirty

238
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: five percent decrease since.

239
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 3: Two thousand and four.

240
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: WHOA, Yeah, so in the early two thousands we were

241
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,119
Speaker 1: absolutely living it up. But I do see the correlation

242
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: here between loneliness and the need for more parties, because,

243
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: of course, socializing at a party or at a big

244
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: gathering like that is the easiest way to connect with

245
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: multiple people over a smaller amount of time.

246
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, which I totally get.

247
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: However, for the purpose of today's episode, we're talking about

248
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: weekly habits and weekly ways to have more fun. And

249
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: I don't think that every single person in their late

250
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: twenties and thirties has the time and the social battery

251
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: and the budget to go to a party every.

252
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: Way I was going to say, is I think the

253
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: lack of like in that stat you read that was

254
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: like four point five percent of people or something like that, yeah,

255
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: hosted parties. I'm like, it's expensive. It is expensive to

256
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: host a partiy.

257
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

258
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: I think that the cost of living and the lack

259
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: of social events absolutely has a direct coalition definitely, But.

260
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: In my current rental where they're so strict and I

261
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: want to get my bond backed, there's no way I'm

262
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: hosting a party. I think if I owned my own

263
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: place and I didn't have carpeted floors, I would be

264
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: so up for hosting a party.

265
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so tell me about the two hour catch up.

266
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: Yes, So after reading this article, I was like, Okay,

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: this is great, but like I was saying, not everybody

268
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: has the time, budget, bandwidth to go to a party

269
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: every single weekend. But my solution is the two hour

270
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: catch up, and that is making two hours of time

271
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: every week to catch up with at least one person.

272
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: Because for me, in the last few years, I found

273
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: it really difficult to fit in time to catch up

274
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: with friends because I look at it as a whole

275
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: day activity and we've got to go to breakfast, and

276
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: then we've got to go to leave markets, and then

277
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: we're getting lunch, and then maybe we go to a

278
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: bar after and it's a whole day thing where you

279
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: spend lots of money and lots of time, and if

280
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: you also have life admin or you're just tired, it

281
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: is almost impossible to fit that in However, it does

282
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: not have to be a whole day affair to catch

283
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: up with someone. For example, one of my best friends,

284
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Nick and I have a designated Sunday every month where

285
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: we catch up for ninety minutes to two hours and

286
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: have breakfast. And it's a non negotiable that we do

287
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: every single month. And when we have these catch ups,

288
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: we're not just reminiscing on old times from high school.

289
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: We're not just asking, you know, sort of like basic

290
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: questions like, oh, how's work. We're having real conversations where

291
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: we're catching up on each other's lives, but also asking

292
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: each other advice or talking about things that are happening

293
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: in the world and being like, what do you think

294
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: about this, and like getting into debates and conversations about it.

295
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: And every single time I leave one of those catch

296
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: ups with him, I feel like I've laughed or I've

297
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: learned something, or I feel lighter about some sort of

298
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: situation that I have going on in my life.

299
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: And it's two hours.

300
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so that was something that I was doing

301
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: monthly with him, and I was like, I need to

302
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: introduce this more with other people in my life, and

303
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: so I did it last week with my friend Lucy.

304
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: She was like, let's catch up and I was like, yeah,

305
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: let's go grab a drink after work on a Wednesday night. Again,

306
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: two hours, two cocktails consumed during a happy hour home.

307
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: That's it.

308
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: I love it.

309
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: And I had three different social engagements in the one week.

310
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: But because I.

311
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Gave myself that kind of time limit, I guess of

312
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: just two hours, I didn't feel burnt out by the end.

313
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: And I also felt like I'd had really good, genuine

314
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: catchups with these people.

315
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: Because I was looking forward to it.

316
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: And I think that giving yourself that two hours to

317
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: connect with people is the easiest way to inject fun

318
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: into your week, because you need social interaction and connection

319
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: to have fun. And Alan and I were talking about

320
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: this earlier this week, but there also has been a

321
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: lot of conversation recently about the catch up trap. And

322
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: I guess those friendships that you do catch up with

323
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: every six months and it's sort of our housework, how's

324
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: your partner, and then it's very surface level and then

325
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: you kind of go off. And I do think there's

326
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: some merit in that critique, and we could get into

327
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: that into a whole different episode, So maybe we will,

328
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: but I'll put the links in the description to the

329
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: articles that we've referenced, but I want this to be

330
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: everybody's homework to book in one two hour catch up

331
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: with somebody in your life in the next week, because

332
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: I guarantee you'll feel so much lighter and happier once

333
00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: you do that.

334
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: Ueber three, to have more fun is to move your body.

335
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: So in a recent Vice study, it found that gen

336
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: Z ranked emotional wellbeing or feeling good internally as their

337
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: highest priority gold star. So focusing on habits that support

338
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: mental health, like getting an adequate amount of sleep every

339
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: night and focusing on having a good work life balance

340
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: are highly valued by gen Z, which makes sense given

341
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: that new research found that gen Z move their bodies

342
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: more than any other generation.

343
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 3: Wow.

344
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 4: Yeah So.

345
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: The Australian Bureau of Statistics recently released its latest Time

346
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: You survey, sharing insights into how Australians use their free time,

347
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: contracted and personal time throughout the average day, and Genzed

348
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 2: were found to be the most physically active of the bunch,

349
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: spending a daily average of one point seven hours moving

350
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: their body. Good job, gen Z, I know, and gen

351
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: Z's apparent focus on health comes as no surprise, with

352
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: the group recently making ways with the criticism of like

353
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: the traditional nine to five hustle culture.

354
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: Quiet quitting yeah, work life balance Yeah, like the rise

355
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: and grind.

356
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: Not much. Ye hate house of culture. That makes me

357
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: not a bomb. So I think we can use this

358
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: as an opportunity to discover more ways that we can

359
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: have more fun in moving our body and focusing on

360
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: moving your body as fun rather than fundamental.

361
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 4: Oh, let's fun and fundamental bouch, you know what I'm saying.

362
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: I say match, let's get fun.

363
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: And we recently spoke about this on the podcast that

364
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: neither of us are necessarily sporty spices, and we have

365
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: had a bit of an ebb and flow when it

366
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: comes to our relationship with moving our body and with

367
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: going to the gym, especially because there have been some

368
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: instances in the past where we haven't typically enjoyed the

369
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: classes that we've been doing or the vibe of the

370
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: gym that we were going to.

371
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: The price of the gym that we've been going to.

372
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Exactly, so we didn't go, We weren't inspired to go

373
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: to the gym, and then as a result of that,

374
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: felt so guilty of the money that we were wasting

375
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: because we weren't utilizing it, which is why Revo Fitness

376
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 1: is such a cool and affordable option because they have

377
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: memberships that start at nine dollars and sixty nine cents

378
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: per week.

379
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: That is so good.

380
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: Plus for three dollars extra, you can get unlimited access

381
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: to reformer pilates at Revo Fitness.

382
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: That's basically unheard of.

383
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's twelve dollars and sixty nine cents per week.

384
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: It's like a coffee and a sweet treat.

385
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: Which I'm going to be buying anyway, exactly after pillarates.

386
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 4: I love how that's like.

387
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: The gen Z like measure of finances, being like, where

388
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: does it sit in the coffee and the sweet treat matrix?

389
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

390
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 3: Fully.

391
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: And another thing that I love about Revo Fitness and

392
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: the Reformer polarates especially is that they're actually built into

393
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: the pilates machines, so it's pilates classes on demand and

394
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: there's over three hundred classes that you can choose from, which.

395
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: Is so good. And the pilates machines have these little

396
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: like TVs on them, so you're not looking around being

397
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: like what the fuck am I doing?

398
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: And also Revo Fitness has twenty four to seven access,

399
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: which I personally love because you know that I'm a

400
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: bit of a night ol at the gym and I

401
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: love to go and do a pilates and like, right,

402
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: she's very But that was also one of the things

403
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: that stopped me at some of the other places we

404
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: were going in the past is it was so hard

405
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: to get into a pilates class, whereas with Revo Fitness,

406
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: you can go and do a class on demand whenever

407
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: you want.

408
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: My personal favorite thing is that there's no lock in

409
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: contracts because so often gyms will give you a more

410
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 2: affordable price point when you sign up for twelve months

411
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: or twenty four months or even sometimes thirty six months.

412
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 3: No locking contract, no bs fees.

413
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: And it's also an open plan gym as well, so

414
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: you can mix up your workout and do other things

415
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: as well.

416
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: As the Reformer Pilates Chef's.

417
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: Kiss Vibes, we can put a little link in a

418
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: bye if you want to check it out. Definitely Rule

419
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: number four for having more fun every week, every day

420
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: of your live. Don't be a hater, just be a fangirl. Yes,

421
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: So Sam and I were talking about this the other

422
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: day and it's just so boring and tiring being a hater.

423
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: And I don't necessarily think that anyone listening to this,

424
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: My hope not is in the comments of people's posts.

425
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: Being a fucking hater is like questioning what we're interacting with.

426
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: Does it bring fun and enjoyment? Like do the people

427
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: you follow on social media? Do they bring you joy

428
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 2: and sparkles and whimsy and like like funny in your life?

429
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 2: Or are you watching it being like fuck, that's annoying.

430
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: Oh I hate that. Like, I find it so much

431
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: more fun to really fangirl and really love something and

432
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: be watching people that I'm like obsessed with, watching.

433
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: Tricksy and Katia.

434
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: There are these two drag queens that they have this

435
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: YouTube show with Netflix where they like basically goggle box

436
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: and watch Netflix shows, And I am laughing the whole

437
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: time with them, yeah, not at them. And I just

438
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 2: find it's so much more fun being a fangirl and

439
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: like being obsessed with people and being like, oh my god,

440
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: that's so cool. I'm so happy for them.

441
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

442
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: Like, if you get the urge on social media to

443
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: comment something potentially negative on somebody's post, I want you

444
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: to remember that and think, is there somewhere else that

445
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: I could comment something positive instead. Yeah, So instead of commenting, oh,

446
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: I actually think that you looked better with this, Heck,

447
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: why don't you click off that, make an effort to

448
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: go find something you do like and instead spread something

449
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: joyful and positive that elicits.

450
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 3: A happy feeling inside of you.

451
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: And we're not saying that you shouldn't be critiquing things

452
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: and calling things out when.

453
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 3: It makes sense to.

454
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: But I don't think that commenting on somebody's body or

455
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: somebody's looks falls into that category.

456
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: I think my main point from this as well is

457
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: that it will make you so much happier when you

458
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: want interact with things that aren't rage bait, because it's

459
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 2: a total thing. If you don't know what rage bait is,

460
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: it's when people purposely post things to make you angry,

461
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: to make you hate what they're posting, because it brings

462
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: trolls and comments and personally not something I could ever

463
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: want do or to interact with. Yeah, and it's like

464
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: an immediate block because I'm like, don't show off on

465
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: my feet anymore. I'm like, I don't want to fucking

466
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: see it. Yeah, but it will bring you so much

467
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: more joy and lightness and fulfillment to one interact and

468
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: view and be a fangirl and have more fun within

469
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: your phone and social media. But two, you will feel

470
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: so much nicer and so much more fun when you

471
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: comment things that you're like, I love this, Yeah, well

472
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: this is so cool. Like we're not saying don't comment

473
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: love comments. Yeah, but bear a fangirl.

474
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: Don't be a hater. And there are so many times.

475
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: That we'll catch ourselves like saying, like, you know, something

476
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: is a bit off, or we've found it annoying or whatever.

477
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: We're like, oh, and I'm like, I don't no be hater.

478
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

479
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: It reminds me of this book that I've been recently reading,

480
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: and it's called Bright Shining How Grace Changes Everything by

481
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: Julia Bear, and it's about how grace is a rare

482
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: currency in today's society and how we've lost our ability

483
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: to cut each other some slack and allow each other

484
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: to stumble or have different opinions or not necessarily like

485
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: what everybody's doing, Like it's okay, it's okay if you

486
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: don't like their dress, you don't have to wear it.

487
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: No one, It's so cool.

488
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I think that, Yeah, maybe we just

489
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: all need to have a little bit more grace and

490
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: a lot more fun.

491
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's also not necessarily like women's fault either, like

492
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: women historically have been pitted against one another, put in

493
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: competition with one another, like look at the whole Angelina

494
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: versus Jennifer Aniston. There is still a fucking narrative being

495
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: like team and or team Jennifer.

496
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: Like Haley and Selena. Yes, right, that it.

497
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 4: Encourages you to literally.

498
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: Form a side or a hate or what. And that's

499
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: what we're saying in this segment, Like I don't want

500
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: anyone to feel like we're sitting up on a fucking

501
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: pedestal being like, don't be a fucking hater. Absolutely not.

502
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: We're saying that, like these things are put in front

503
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: of us because it lifts an emotion, and emotions cause reactions, right, Yeah,

504
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: that there are so many tricks that are happening in society,

505
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 2: whether it's on your TVs, in the media, on social

506
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: media that trick you into being negative and feeling negative

507
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: and having certain emotions that really don't fill your cup.

508
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: And yeah, I don't think it's our fault, but it

509
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: is our responsibility to pull ourselves out of it.

510
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's all be fan girls.

511
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay.

512
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: Rule is find your happiness ven diagram.

513
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: Give me this.

514
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: This is like sciencey, isn't it?

515
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: Yes, fucking sorry science.

516
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: I saw this in a TED talk that was hosted

517
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: by science journalist Catherine Price, and she created a science

518
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: backed ven diagram.

519
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: For what she describes as true fun okay, which I love.

520
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: Pen and paper.

521
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 4: Let's go.

522
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're getting the Butcher's paper out, chicks.

523
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: I love Butcher's paper.

524
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

525
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: So imagine there are three circles overlapping in one circle.

526
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: There is playfulness. This literally refers to lighthearted, good time, fun, silly,

527
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: goofy girl. Yes. Yeah, And a huge component of that

528
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: is not taking life and yourself so seriously, which I

529
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: think we all could benefit from. And she suggests that

530
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: one way to have more pure playfulness and joy is

531
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: to find opportunities to rebel. Oh, but specifically to rebel

532
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: against the rules of responsible adulthood, which I personally think

533
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: that Alex and I do all the time.

534
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: Do you want to know how I've been rebelling against

535
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: the rules of adulthood.

536
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the last week.

537
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: For dinner, I've had a veggiemite sandwich.

538
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 4: I have an addiction, a crippling addiction.

539
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: When it comes to dinner time. All I feel like

540
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: is fresh bread and a veggiemite sandwich. Who says, I

541
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 2: kind of it.

542
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

543
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: I know, I'm supposed to eat veggies and fucking fruit

544
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: and like a meat and whatever, but I feel like

545
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: a veggiemite sandwich. And for the last week, that is

546
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: what I have eaten for dinner. And I'm telling you

547
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: I've had the best time.

548
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: That's childhood joy.

549
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: And then I followed it up with a golden gay time.

550
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: Yum.

551
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: I know.

552
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: Okay, second circle.

553
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: Second circle. Okay, so first circle with playfulness.

554
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: Second circle in the second circle is connection.

555
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: So this refers to having a special shared experience in

556
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: these moments of playfulness.

557
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

558
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: So, of course you can do these things on your own,

559
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: which is also important, which is important, but Price says

560
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: that connection and sharing these experiences is another core factor absolutely,

561
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: which again we definitely do.

562
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 3: If you think.

563
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: About all the times that you've had the most fun

564
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: in your life, I would say nine times out of ten,

565
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: there's someone standing there with you or multiple people.

566
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: Definitely, And I also think that in these moments of playfulness.

567
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: When we are rebelling against these adult responsibilities.

568
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: And rules, it's because you can truly be yourself.

569
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: I think rebelling against the adulthood rules is the key

570
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: to having fun in your twenties and beyond, definitely.

571
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: And then in the third circle circle hit me is

572
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: flow ooh. This refers to.

573
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: Being so engaged and immersed in the fun and playfulness

574
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: that you completely lose sight of any other distractions.

575
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: And that's why they say time flies when you're having fun.

576
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 4: Oh true.

577
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: I would say that's probably the hardest circle.

578
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree.

579
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes when I'm like sitting there and I'm having fun,

580
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: and i go, wait, I'm supposed to be stressed about something, right,

581
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: And then I remember and I'm like.

582
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: Oh, fuck, yeah, But why do we do that?

583
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: And a key way to do this is to remove

584
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: distractions that will pull you out of that playfulness. Put

585
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: your phone in the toilet, exactly, put your phone in

586
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: the toilet. Make sure that you're wearing something that is

587
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: comfortable and that you feel free in. And then it

588
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: can also refer to the people that you're surrounding yourself with.

589
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: So if you do have a friendship with somebody and

590
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: you feel like you can't truly be yourself, or when

591
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: you do that silly voice or you make that stupid joke,

592
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: they don't laugh along with you, or they're like grow up,

593
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: or really watching the Little Mermaid again, it's the third

594
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: time this week?

595
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: You need help?

596
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Like that is that's a form of distraction that is

597
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: taking you out of it. Okay, we've got the three circles,

598
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: we've got playfulness, we've got connection, and we've got flow,

599
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: and they all overlap and then in the middle is

600
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: true fun. So another little homework exercise for you, chick ears,

601
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: is to grab a piece of paper and draw the

602
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: three circles. And you can have either space inside and

603
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: write in what these different things mean to you, or

604
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: you can have little branches shooting out off them. But

605
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: be intentional about what these things are, and look at

606
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: your day to day life and what you have coming

607
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: up in the week, and how can you incorporate true fun.

608
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: You know what's really nice is that, like if I

609
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: was to do that in the like middle circle that

610
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: was true fun, I could very easily put you.

611
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: Don't make it later sounds just sobbing.

612
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: I think, like that's the thing is maybe it's about

613
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: finding the people that you could put in that middle

614
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: circle that is the overlap, and I think I could

615
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: very easily. No brain, I'll put you in there.

616
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: M Oh, that's so sweet you'd be in mine to you.

617
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 4: Thank you, but that is a rap.

618
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: Thank you for having us in your ear holes.

619
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: We hope it was really fun.

620
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: I hate us, and thank you Damka made for making

621
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: this episode of two bread Chicks happen.

622
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: Love you chicks, I love you, Fae
