It's a bit of a quote and 83 00:03:14,161 --> 00:03:16,201 Speaker 3: I just thought it was really cool. Yeah it says, 84 00:03:16,361 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: But girl, how silly of you to forget. What a 85 00:03:18,881 --> 00:03:21,121 Speaker 3: gift it is to feel discomfort as a sign of 86 00:03:21,161 --> 00:03:24,321 Speaker 3: growth on the path of your own choosing. What a 87 00:03:24,361 --> 00:03:27,161 Speaker 3: bold move it is to trust yourself when doubt is loud. 88 00:03:27,641 --> 00:03:30,321 Speaker 3: What a breakthrough it is to finally see fear as 89 00:03:30,361 --> 00:03:32,641 Speaker 3: a signal, not as a stop sign. And what a 90 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,121 Speaker 3: beautiful rebellion it is to choose rest in a world 91 00:03:35,121 --> 00:03:38,681 Speaker 3: that glorifies exhaustion. Sometimes it's just the little thing that 92 00:03:38,681 --> 00:03:40,601 Speaker 3: you need to just push you over the edge, or 93 00:03:40,641 --> 00:03:44,201 Speaker 3: to just remind you of how you feel is valid, 94 00:03:44,321 --> 00:03:46,961 Speaker 3: that if you're feeling fear, it's okay. That if you 95 00:03:47,001 --> 00:03:49,521 Speaker 3: feel resistance, you don't need to stop. You can keep going. 96 00:03:49,561 --> 00:03:52,161 Speaker 3: And sometimes you just need a little bit of words 97 00:03:52,161 --> 00:03:55,041 Speaker 3: of encouragement to help get you there. And especially if 98 00:03:55,081 --> 00:03:57,241 Speaker 3: you can't and haven't yet been able to cultivate that 99 00:03:57,281 --> 00:04:00,281 Speaker 3: for yourself where you can coach yourself, sometimes all you 100 00:04:00,321 --> 00:04:01,401 Speaker 3: need is a quote and you're. 101 00:04:01,321 --> 00:04:02,361 Speaker 2: Like, oh, I'm good for the day. 102 00:04:02,441 --> 00:04:03,321 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to die. 103 00:04:03,441 --> 00:04:05,401 Speaker 2: I'm okay, And that's the best. 104 00:04:05,481 --> 00:04:06,961 Speaker 3: And that's all about what we're going to be talking 105 00:04:06,961 --> 00:04:09,761 Speaker 3: about today as well, is healing the mean girl in 106 00:04:09,801 --> 00:04:10,201 Speaker 3: your head? 107 00:04:10,521 --> 00:04:12,601 Speaker 1: Yes, So what do we mean by a mean girl? 108 00:04:13,001 --> 00:04:15,801 Speaker 1: We all have her. She's that little voice inside your head, 109 00:04:15,801 --> 00:04:17,601 Speaker 1: like I said at the start, that creeps on in 110 00:04:17,721 --> 00:04:22,841 Speaker 1: whenever you're facing something new, challenging, disheartening, and she comes 111 00:04:22,921 --> 00:04:25,121 Speaker 1: in and she just tells you that you can't do it, 112 00:04:25,401 --> 00:04:28,241 Speaker 1: that you're not enough worthy of it. Even at things 113 00:04:28,281 --> 00:04:30,841 Speaker 1: other people have said, that mean girl will come in 114 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,121 Speaker 1: and say, oh, but remember they said this, that's true, 115 00:04:33,521 --> 00:04:35,681 Speaker 1: and it will keep you in fear, and it will 116 00:04:35,761 --> 00:04:38,201 Speaker 1: keep you held back and keep you in a safe zone. 117 00:04:38,361 --> 00:04:40,561 Speaker 1: But I promise you, if you stay in that safe zone, 118 00:04:40,561 --> 00:04:42,561 Speaker 1: you listen to that mean girl in a critic, you 119 00:04:42,561 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: will never progress forward. You will never live a life 120 00:04:44,601 --> 00:04:49,401 Speaker 1: that feels fully aligned, fully alive, fully authentically you. You will 121 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,481 Speaker 1: feel dead inside. You need to be progressing forward. And 122 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,841 Speaker 1: I think the more that you not ignore the mean girl, 123 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,641 Speaker 1: because she's always going to be there, and sometimes she's 124 00:04:57,681 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: there to try to protect you as well, get confusing 125 00:04:59,921 --> 00:05:02,241 Speaker 1: sometimes with your intuition and the mean girl. But the 126 00:05:02,241 --> 00:05:04,681 Speaker 1: more you go hang on a second that's not true, 127 00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: and push through and have evidence of taking chances okay, 128 00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:11,161 Speaker 1: and taking risks and being brave and trying new things 129 00:05:11,161 --> 00:05:13,361 Speaker 1: and pushing yourself. The more evidence you get of that, 130 00:05:13,761 --> 00:05:15,961 Speaker 1: more confidence you get within yourself and to trust your 131 00:05:15,961 --> 00:05:18,681 Speaker 1: own intuition and push past your boundaries and show yourself 132 00:05:18,681 --> 00:05:21,241 Speaker 1: what you're capable of. But she does pop in, especially 133 00:05:21,281 --> 00:05:23,041 Speaker 1: when times are hard, and you. 134 00:05:23,001 --> 00:05:25,561 Speaker 3: Know what's interesting is that sometimes we're not even aware 135 00:05:25,561 --> 00:05:27,801 Speaker 3: that she's there. No, I want you to pay attention 136 00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: right now to the voice, your internal dialogue, right now, 137 00:05:31,801 --> 00:05:35,041 Speaker 3: your internal dialogue that is saying and listening to the 138 00:05:35,081 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 3: words that I'm saying but in your own head, in 139 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,601 Speaker 3: your own voice. Right, it's listening and paying attention to 140 00:05:40,641 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 3: that voice that in a chatter that is there twenty 141 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: four to seven. 142 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: You never get a break from it. 143 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: She never stops, She never stops, and she's so persistent. 144 00:05:49,001 --> 00:05:52,001 Speaker 3: And when you aren't aware of the tone, the language, 145 00:05:52,001 --> 00:05:54,721 Speaker 3: the way in which you speak to yourself, we become 146 00:05:54,841 --> 00:05:57,481 Speaker 3: unaware of the person we spend the most time with, 147 00:05:57,521 --> 00:05:59,881 Speaker 3: which is ourselves, you know. And it really like where 148 00:05:59,921 --> 00:06:01,721 Speaker 3: does it stem from? Like not even just a mean girl, 149 00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:05,721 Speaker 3: but the internal dialogue is an accumulation of your conditioning 150 00:06:05,721 --> 00:06:08,161 Speaker 3: and the way that you were raised. Right, whatever you 151 00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,121 Speaker 3: were exposed to growing up, your mom, your dad, a 152 00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: parental figure, the way that they then spoke to you 153 00:06:12,961 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: becomes your internal. 154 00:06:13,801 --> 00:06:16,201 Speaker 1: Dialogue quescition in that first seven or eight years, that's. 155 00:06:16,161 --> 00:06:18,041 Speaker 3: Right, you're like on the imprint stage when you're the 156 00:06:18,081 --> 00:06:20,881 Speaker 3: most absorbing all of that energy and you're like a sponge. 157 00:06:21,361 --> 00:06:23,721 Speaker 3: You are taking on every single thing that you learn 158 00:06:23,761 --> 00:06:26,641 Speaker 3: and hear and the things that people say to you. So, yes, 159 00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: we curate this in a mean girl, but it also 160 00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:32,721 Speaker 3: our internal dialogue becomes the mean girl because we are 161 00:06:32,761 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: taking on other people's projections and nasty things and comments. 162 00:06:36,361 --> 00:06:38,241 Speaker 3: But we then learn how to talk to ourselves in 163 00:06:38,281 --> 00:06:41,681 Speaker 3: that way because we shape our internal dialogue as all 164 00:06:41,721 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: of these voices that weren't originally ours. And I think 165 00:06:44,681 --> 00:06:47,561 Speaker 3: that's the biggest part of this is actually having to 166 00:06:47,761 --> 00:06:48,721 Speaker 3: unlearn all of that. 167 00:06:49,561 --> 00:06:51,721 Speaker 1: That's hard. It is hard because I bet a lot 168 00:06:51,721 --> 00:06:53,241 Speaker 1: of you might be listening and saying, well, that's all 169 00:06:53,281 --> 00:06:55,481 Speaker 1: great and well, but I've still got this inner critic 170 00:06:55,601 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: who takes over, who grabs the steering wheel and is 171 00:06:58,401 --> 00:07:01,321 Speaker 1: the driver of my life. How do I quieten her 172 00:07:01,401 --> 00:07:03,121 Speaker 1: or how do I just move it to the side 173 00:07:03,121 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: and take control. Love affirmations don't get me wrong, for 174 00:07:07,001 --> 00:07:09,681 Speaker 1: me personally anyway, sitting in front of a mirror and 175 00:07:09,681 --> 00:07:13,121 Speaker 1: telling myself all these positive affirmations just doesn't quite work 176 00:07:13,161 --> 00:07:15,801 Speaker 1: for me. I think there's this like bridging phase that 177 00:07:15,841 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: you go through. It's like you've got that inner critic 178 00:07:18,361 --> 00:07:21,401 Speaker 1: saying you're fat, you're ugly, you're dumb, you can't do anything. 179 00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:24,161 Speaker 1: You can't just switch to be like, you're amazing, you're beautiful, 180 00:07:24,201 --> 00:07:26,041 Speaker 1: I fucking love you, you can do anything in the world. 181 00:07:26,241 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: Is a believer. 182 00:07:26,721 --> 00:07:28,041 Speaker 2: It's like you're lying to yourself. 183 00:07:28,081 --> 00:07:29,641 Speaker 1: It does feel like you're lying to yourself. So the 184 00:07:29,681 --> 00:07:31,881 Speaker 1: way I kind of worked through this was like just 185 00:07:31,921 --> 00:07:34,401 Speaker 1: trying to find a neutral middle. So it's like, when 186 00:07:34,441 --> 00:07:38,081 Speaker 1: I hear those things, I'm like, OK, take some big breaths, 187 00:07:38,161 --> 00:07:40,401 Speaker 1: just get calm and quite like I can hear them. 188 00:07:40,641 --> 00:07:42,361 Speaker 1: They're not true. I'm not going to lean into that. 189 00:07:42,721 --> 00:07:45,121 Speaker 1: It's going to be neutral about it. And the more 190 00:07:45,161 --> 00:07:47,041 Speaker 1: that I can calm and soften my breath and my 191 00:07:47,081 --> 00:07:49,721 Speaker 1: body and connect back to myself, it didn't take over. 192 00:07:50,121 --> 00:07:52,481 Speaker 1: And I found going through that process I could then 193 00:07:52,601 --> 00:07:56,041 Speaker 1: lean more onto creating new stories, new positive chat. It's 194 00:07:56,041 --> 00:07:59,561 Speaker 1: like rewiring your brain. Hey, but yeah, to flip from 195 00:07:59,641 --> 00:08:01,761 Speaker 1: one to the other, I just don't think that's the 196 00:08:01,801 --> 00:08:03,521 Speaker 1: best way to go about. I think there's this middle 197 00:08:03,561 --> 00:08:04,641 Speaker 1: ground that you've got to go through. 198 00:08:05,161 --> 00:08:08,361 Speaker 3: Those moments when you are there. You're not trying to 199 00:08:08,441 --> 00:08:10,081 Speaker 3: change it, no kind of get rid of it. 200 00:08:10,161 --> 00:08:10,561 Speaker 1: No way. 201 00:08:10,961 --> 00:08:13,281 Speaker 2: She's there, Yeah, so you just are sitting with it. 202 00:08:13,361 --> 00:08:16,001 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting with her, like acknowledging that she's there, 203 00:08:16,041 --> 00:08:17,881 Speaker 1: and sometimes I think she's been there to try to 204 00:08:17,881 --> 00:08:20,401 Speaker 1: protect me because it might be scary. The next move 205 00:08:20,401 --> 00:08:22,201 Speaker 1: I'm going to take So I'm like, thank you for 206 00:08:22,241 --> 00:08:24,601 Speaker 1: being there, But I don't think that's quite true, or 207 00:08:24,601 --> 00:08:26,761 Speaker 1: maybe I don't want to believe that anymore. So just 208 00:08:26,761 --> 00:08:27,321 Speaker 1: sit with it. 209 00:08:27,521 --> 00:08:29,441 Speaker 3: So instead of sitting with it, letting it be there 210 00:08:29,441 --> 00:08:31,161 Speaker 3: and being like, oh, oh my god, this is so wrong. 211 00:08:31,281 --> 00:08:32,721 Speaker 3: Even if you're out in the oh my god, and 212 00:08:32,761 --> 00:08:34,441 Speaker 3: then you try it yourself for it, I'll be like, 213 00:08:34,481 --> 00:08:35,401 Speaker 3: oh my god, I got to fix this. 214 00:08:35,401 --> 00:08:37,801 Speaker 1: Okay, I won't take the chance and call you. 215 00:08:37,921 --> 00:08:40,001 Speaker 2: Listen, you hold space for it, you allow it to 216 00:08:40,041 --> 00:08:40,641 Speaker 2: be there. 217 00:08:40,721 --> 00:08:43,441 Speaker 1: It dissolves. Yeah. Yeah, the more you can allow space 218 00:08:43,481 --> 00:08:45,801 Speaker 1: for it to just be there, she quins, yeah, she 219 00:08:45,881 --> 00:08:46,401 Speaker 1: sits down. 220 00:08:46,681 --> 00:08:47,321 Speaker 2: She sits down. 221 00:08:47,321 --> 00:08:49,361 Speaker 1: But I think the more that you try to resist something, 222 00:08:49,401 --> 00:08:51,481 Speaker 1: the more it persists. So when I try and fight 223 00:08:51,481 --> 00:08:53,601 Speaker 1: against her, it just like got bigger and louder and 224 00:08:53,601 --> 00:08:55,161 Speaker 1: too much. And then I'd step back and be like, hey, 225 00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:57,001 Speaker 1: you win. I'm not going to do it. I give up. 226 00:08:57,481 --> 00:08:59,841 Speaker 1: It's too scary. Yeah, So just like sitting with it, 227 00:08:59,881 --> 00:09:02,081 Speaker 1: I think it's the first step. Just like allowing her 228 00:09:02,121 --> 00:09:03,881 Speaker 1: to take a step back, and it gets you to 229 00:09:03,921 --> 00:09:05,801 Speaker 1: get back in the driver's scene can take a passage 230 00:09:05,841 --> 00:09:08,681 Speaker 1: of speak what about you. How did you find the 231 00:09:08,721 --> 00:09:12,241 Speaker 1: transition of not letting her rule your life? I think 232 00:09:12,281 --> 00:09:13,481 Speaker 1: I did for a really long time. 233 00:09:13,561 --> 00:09:16,041 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we all had like growing up, and 234 00:09:16,121 --> 00:09:18,881 Speaker 3: even I think it's only taken me doing personal development 235 00:09:18,921 --> 00:09:22,121 Speaker 3: work to really learn how to quiet her. But for 236 00:09:22,161 --> 00:09:25,121 Speaker 3: a really long time, I was my own worst enemy, 237 00:09:25,241 --> 00:09:28,241 Speaker 3: like my innerman girl. There's nothing, even with the video, 238 00:09:28,441 --> 00:09:30,681 Speaker 3: even with things I've been through, even being bullied as 239 00:09:30,721 --> 00:09:33,281 Speaker 3: a child, like, there's nothing that anyone could have said 240 00:09:33,281 --> 00:09:35,041 Speaker 3: that was nastier than what I was saying to myself, 241 00:09:35,201 --> 00:09:37,601 Speaker 3: because I was an absolute bitch. 242 00:09:37,641 --> 00:09:37,841 Speaker 1: You know. 243 00:09:38,361 --> 00:09:40,241 Speaker 3: And it's just the things that you learn along the way. 244 00:09:40,321 --> 00:09:42,161 Speaker 3: Someone says one thing and you take on that belief 245 00:09:42,201 --> 00:09:45,201 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, that's your new narrative about yourself. Yeah, 246 00:09:45,241 --> 00:09:48,281 Speaker 3: And so I think for the longest time, I was 247 00:09:48,361 --> 00:09:51,201 Speaker 3: so nasty to myself that I was my own worst 248 00:09:51,201 --> 00:09:51,761 Speaker 3: inner critic. 249 00:09:51,881 --> 00:09:54,241 Speaker 2: Like I would shame myself if I did something that 250 00:09:54,241 --> 00:09:56,601 Speaker 2: stepped out of line. Immediately I was the worst person ever, 251 00:09:56,601 --> 00:09:58,041 Speaker 2: and I would punish myself for it. 252 00:09:58,241 --> 00:10:00,801 Speaker 3: And so not only did I feel terrible about myself, 253 00:10:00,841 --> 00:10:02,641 Speaker 3: I would punish myself for it and make it feel 254 00:10:02,681 --> 00:10:03,401 Speaker 3: ten times heavier. 255 00:10:04,001 --> 00:10:05,921 Speaker 1: But then why don't do that to ourselves? Why doesn't 256 00:10:05,961 --> 00:10:06,521 Speaker 1: make it worse? 257 00:10:06,801 --> 00:10:08,721 Speaker 3: Honestly, I think we just get stuck in a loop. 258 00:10:08,961 --> 00:10:10,881 Speaker 3: I think when you start to shame yourself and you 259 00:10:10,921 --> 00:10:13,841 Speaker 3: don't realize that you can have control over shame and 260 00:10:13,841 --> 00:10:15,641 Speaker 3: you can turn it off like a switch, which is 261 00:10:15,641 --> 00:10:18,601 Speaker 3: a whole lot of conversation. You're so in the feeling 262 00:10:18,601 --> 00:10:21,881 Speaker 3: of shame and it's such a heavy frequency. Yes, when 263 00:10:21,921 --> 00:10:24,081 Speaker 3: you feel those ways about yourself, I think you feel 264 00:10:24,081 --> 00:10:25,801 Speaker 3: like you deserve to feel it's. 265 00:10:26,521 --> 00:10:28,241 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'd never speak to our best friend like that. 266 00:10:28,281 --> 00:10:30,321 Speaker 1: Why don't we It's okay to make ourselves feel worse 267 00:10:30,361 --> 00:10:31,401 Speaker 1: and what we already feel. 268 00:10:31,481 --> 00:10:33,281 Speaker 3: There's no way I would ever say any of those 269 00:10:33,321 --> 00:10:36,121 Speaker 3: things to you. But it was like self punishment. Yeah, 270 00:10:36,161 --> 00:10:38,321 Speaker 3: it was like, oh, but you did this wrong, or 271 00:10:38,361 --> 00:10:40,441 Speaker 3: you fucked up here, I've made a mistake, so you 272 00:10:40,481 --> 00:10:41,281 Speaker 3: deserve the punishment. 273 00:10:41,321 --> 00:10:43,481 Speaker 1: Now you don't deserve to be happy. Yeah, this thing. 274 00:10:43,641 --> 00:10:45,881 Speaker 3: And I think when you become addicted to suffering in 275 00:10:45,881 --> 00:10:49,161 Speaker 3: that sense, Yeah, you don't know any different because everything 276 00:10:49,161 --> 00:10:52,561 Speaker 3: always never works out for you. Yeah, create stories around it. 277 00:10:52,881 --> 00:10:53,921 Speaker 3: You're just not capable. 278 00:10:54,001 --> 00:10:56,881 Speaker 2: You're not good enough. You know, you always. 279 00:10:56,561 --> 00:10:58,761 Speaker 3: Back out, You always start something then you don't finish it, 280 00:10:58,881 --> 00:11:02,041 Speaker 3: or you don't have the knowledge, the intellect, the education 281 00:11:02,241 --> 00:11:04,121 Speaker 3: to be able to actually make that work for us. 282 00:11:04,201 --> 00:11:06,321 Speaker 3: So sit back down, you do, and then every single 283 00:11:06,361 --> 00:11:08,441 Speaker 3: time you try to do something new, it rears its head, 284 00:11:08,481 --> 00:11:10,081 Speaker 3: pops back up, and then you're back in the same 285 00:11:10,121 --> 00:11:11,441 Speaker 3: position you were in the first place. 286 00:11:11,881 --> 00:11:14,281 Speaker 1: So I think, how did you silence yours or like 287 00:11:14,361 --> 00:11:15,361 Speaker 1: move her to the side. 288 00:11:15,761 --> 00:11:18,441 Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is quite similar to yours. 289 00:11:18,481 --> 00:11:20,121 Speaker 3: I feel like for me, it was a lot of 290 00:11:20,201 --> 00:11:24,761 Speaker 3: like observing, so observation. Something that I did was I 291 00:11:24,801 --> 00:11:27,201 Speaker 3: started to pay attention to my internal dialogue. So even 292 00:11:27,241 --> 00:11:29,561 Speaker 3: if I was just sitting their silent, Yeah, I made 293 00:11:29,601 --> 00:11:31,161 Speaker 3: it a packed with myself to go, Okay, for the 294 00:11:31,161 --> 00:11:33,881 Speaker 3: next seven days, I'm going to really document all of 295 00:11:33,881 --> 00:11:37,441 Speaker 3: the things that I'm telling myself. So I'm documenting common themes, 296 00:11:37,921 --> 00:11:41,001 Speaker 3: common sayings that I say to myself, common fears, and 297 00:11:41,121 --> 00:11:44,761 Speaker 3: really just kind of like data collection. Yeah, okay, being like, okay, 298 00:11:44,801 --> 00:11:47,041 Speaker 3: I want to learn myself right now. This isn't so 299 00:11:47,121 --> 00:11:50,241 Speaker 3: I can shave myself. It's not I'm trying to fix anything. 300 00:11:50,401 --> 00:11:52,761 Speaker 3: I just want to observe. I want to learn, and 301 00:11:52,801 --> 00:11:55,481 Speaker 3: I want to see what's really happening underneath the covers, 302 00:11:56,201 --> 00:11:58,841 Speaker 3: And so I would pay attention and I would listen, 303 00:11:59,001 --> 00:12:01,881 Speaker 3: and I would go, Okay, where's fear pop up? Where 304 00:12:02,001 --> 00:12:04,561 Speaker 3: self doubt pop up? What stories am I telling myself? 305 00:12:04,601 --> 00:12:06,561 Speaker 3: Is it that I'm not beautiful enough? Is it that 306 00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:09,241 Speaker 3: I'm not smart enough? Is it that I'm not educated enough? 307 00:12:09,641 --> 00:12:12,401 Speaker 3: Is it that whenever I'm around somebody else, I'm immediately 308 00:12:12,481 --> 00:12:15,201 Speaker 3: less than? So it's really just like being able to 309 00:12:15,241 --> 00:12:17,361 Speaker 3: pay attention to all those things and really see it 310 00:12:17,441 --> 00:12:20,321 Speaker 3: with neutral eyes. And the moment that I started to 311 00:12:20,361 --> 00:12:23,761 Speaker 3: see things with neutral eyes and not put a secondary 312 00:12:23,801 --> 00:12:26,881 Speaker 3: emotion on top of how it was already feeling, then 313 00:12:26,881 --> 00:12:29,241 Speaker 3: it was like, all of a sudden, it became lighter. Yeah, 314 00:12:29,281 --> 00:12:32,161 Speaker 3: you know, it's like that secondary emotion of like, oh 315 00:12:32,201 --> 00:12:34,561 Speaker 3: I feel not good enough and now I'm shaming myself. 316 00:12:34,641 --> 00:12:36,601 Speaker 3: That's what makes it so heavy. Yeah, and that's what 317 00:12:36,641 --> 00:12:37,881 Speaker 3: makes us spiral, at least. 318 00:12:37,681 --> 00:12:39,001 Speaker 2: In my experience, I agree. 319 00:12:39,081 --> 00:12:41,601 Speaker 3: Right, So then it was just yeah, neutralizing it, seeing 320 00:12:41,641 --> 00:12:45,161 Speaker 3: it with open awareness, and then just being like, it's 321 00:12:45,201 --> 00:12:47,721 Speaker 3: okay that you feel this way. Yes, just Honestly, it 322 00:12:47,761 --> 00:12:50,601 Speaker 3: was a whole lot of self validation of like, I 323 00:12:50,681 --> 00:12:52,681 Speaker 3: know you want other people to make you feel good, 324 00:12:52,841 --> 00:12:54,201 Speaker 3: but the only person who's going to be able to 325 00:12:54,241 --> 00:12:56,161 Speaker 3: do that is you. And so it was like, hey, like, 326 00:12:56,201 --> 00:12:58,641 Speaker 3: I love you. You're good enough even if you feel 327 00:12:58,681 --> 00:13:01,521 Speaker 3: these things. Yeah, you're deserving even if you feel this way. 328 00:13:02,001 --> 00:13:03,961 Speaker 3: And just because you feel fear not good enough, not 329 00:13:03,961 --> 00:13:07,521 Speaker 3: pretty enough, not beautiful enough, not intelligent enough, it doesn't 330 00:13:07,521 --> 00:13:08,881 Speaker 3: make you less than yeah. 331 00:13:08,921 --> 00:13:11,121 Speaker 1: And you can feel those things, it doesn't actually have 332 00:13:11,161 --> 00:13:12,921 Speaker 1: to be true, right, I can feel those things. You 333 00:13:12,921 --> 00:13:14,361 Speaker 1: do I actually have to act on it or not 334 00:13:14,441 --> 00:13:14,961 Speaker 1: do something. 335 00:13:15,121 --> 00:13:15,321 Speaker 3: Yeah. 336 00:13:15,441 --> 00:13:17,241 Speaker 1: And that's the things with emotions too. It doesn't define 337 00:13:17,241 --> 00:13:19,241 Speaker 1: who you are. It's just how you're feeling in that moment. 338 00:13:19,321 --> 00:13:20,481 Speaker 1: That's what it dissolves. 339 00:13:20,521 --> 00:13:22,241 Speaker 2: And it's interesting because it wasn't like I. 340 00:13:22,161 --> 00:13:24,681 Speaker 3: Went from shaming myself to oh my god, I'm so 341 00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:27,481 Speaker 3: obsepted with myself and I love myself, loving myself sick, Right, 342 00:13:27,481 --> 00:13:29,921 Speaker 3: There's a lot of steps between. So it went from 343 00:13:30,041 --> 00:13:33,481 Speaker 3: shaming myself to neutral to holy shit, to have compassion 344 00:13:33,521 --> 00:13:37,881 Speaker 3: for myself, yes, And that compassion led me to know myself, 345 00:13:38,161 --> 00:13:40,881 Speaker 3: to like myself and then to start loving myself. Yes, 346 00:13:40,881 --> 00:13:44,041 Speaker 3: but that compassion, I feel like, really bridges the gap 347 00:13:44,121 --> 00:13:48,281 Speaker 3: between mean girl and actually having a softer internal dialogue 348 00:13:48,521 --> 00:13:50,561 Speaker 3: because you're like, wow, Like, if this was my best 349 00:13:50,561 --> 00:13:52,641 Speaker 3: friend going through this, there is no way that I 350 00:13:52,641 --> 00:13:53,921 Speaker 3: would say these things to her. 351 00:13:54,201 --> 00:13:56,281 Speaker 1: You have compassion for why that's coming up and why 352 00:13:56,281 --> 00:13:57,161 Speaker 1: she's feeling like that. 353 00:13:57,361 --> 00:13:59,881 Speaker 3: And that's something that I told myself as well. If 354 00:13:59,921 --> 00:14:02,001 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it to somebody that I love, I'm 355 00:14:02,001 --> 00:14:03,201 Speaker 3: not allowed to say it to myself. 356 00:14:03,361 --> 00:14:04,321 Speaker 1: Such a good rule, you. 357 00:14:04,241 --> 00:14:05,761 Speaker 2: Know, it's innal boundaries. 358 00:14:05,921 --> 00:14:09,201 Speaker 3: Yes, having internal boundaries with yourself around what you will 359 00:14:09,201 --> 00:14:12,321 Speaker 3: say to yourself, what you'll allow, what thoughts you'll entertain, 360 00:14:12,601 --> 00:14:15,121 Speaker 3: and how much you actually shit on yourself in those moments, 361 00:14:15,441 --> 00:14:16,481 Speaker 3: because that's not what you need. 362 00:14:16,921 --> 00:14:18,041 Speaker 2: Imagine if your best. 363 00:14:17,841 --> 00:14:20,561 Speaker 3: Friend or your mum or your sibling was going through 364 00:14:20,561 --> 00:14:22,401 Speaker 3: a really hard time and you just sat there standing 365 00:14:22,441 --> 00:14:24,961 Speaker 3: over them telling them how shit they were of them, 366 00:14:25,041 --> 00:14:28,201 Speaker 3: how they're not good enough, they're not smart enough, they're ugly, fat, yeah, 367 00:14:28,441 --> 00:14:31,001 Speaker 3: all of the things capable. Yeah, imagine how that person 368 00:14:31,001 --> 00:14:32,801 Speaker 3: would feel like absolute shit. 369 00:14:33,121 --> 00:14:33,281 Speaker 1: Right. 370 00:14:33,321 --> 00:14:36,961 Speaker 3: It's not the productive way to support ourselves through hard challenges. 371 00:14:37,521 --> 00:14:39,001 Speaker 1: You could also do that with your friends. Hey, if 372 00:14:39,001 --> 00:14:41,561 Speaker 1: they're vocally saying like, I'm dumb, I'm ugly, I'm shit, 373 00:14:41,601 --> 00:14:43,441 Speaker 1: I'm not intelligent enough, not beautiful enough, I'm never going 374 00:14:43,481 --> 00:14:46,121 Speaker 1: to be anything. When you're holding space to your friend too, 375 00:14:46,201 --> 00:14:48,041 Speaker 1: sometimes you don't jump in and be like, oh my god, no, 376 00:14:48,041 --> 00:14:49,561 Speaker 1: that none of that's true. Sometimes you just sit there 377 00:14:49,601 --> 00:14:51,481 Speaker 1: and be like, tell me more about that. Yeah, where 378 00:14:51,521 --> 00:14:52,201 Speaker 1: did that come from? 379 00:14:52,321 --> 00:14:52,721 Speaker 2: Yeah? 380 00:14:52,881 --> 00:14:55,801 Speaker 1: Is that actually for truth? You really believe that about yourself? 381 00:14:55,801 --> 00:14:58,801 Speaker 1: Believe that you can actually coach yourself, because sometimes when 382 00:14:58,801 --> 00:14:59,921 Speaker 1: you look some in the eye and you said you 383 00:14:59,961 --> 00:15:02,281 Speaker 1: actually believe that you can't do that. I watch charge 384 00:15:02,281 --> 00:15:04,521 Speaker 1: now and he's like, I can't do this times table, 385 00:15:04,561 --> 00:15:06,601 Speaker 1: I look at them like do you really believe that 386 00:15:06,601 --> 00:15:08,441 Speaker 1: you can't do it? And he resists, and I'm like, Okay, 387 00:15:08,441 --> 00:15:09,641 Speaker 1: we're going to sit here until you can do it. 388 00:15:09,681 --> 00:15:12,121 Speaker 1: Then I love that You're going to use your hands 389 00:15:12,121 --> 00:15:13,401 Speaker 1: if you have to. You're going to take as long 390 00:15:13,441 --> 00:15:14,961 Speaker 1: as you need to in your brain, and you're gonna 391 00:15:15,001 --> 00:15:17,601 Speaker 1: tell me what six times seven is good? All night, buddy, 392 00:15:17,641 --> 00:15:21,921 Speaker 1: I'm going anywhere, hands man, I'm good, I'm comfy. Take 393 00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:23,441 Speaker 1: a seat, and then he gets evidence that he can 394 00:15:23,601 --> 00:15:25,521 Speaker 1: do it and it squashes that story. So next time 395 00:15:25,561 --> 00:15:29,401 Speaker 1: it pops up, I hope that it's like, oh, I 396 00:15:29,721 --> 00:15:30,761 Speaker 1: don't feel like I can do it, but I did 397 00:15:30,801 --> 00:15:32,041 Speaker 1: do it last time. Okay, I'll give it a go. 398 00:15:32,241 --> 00:15:34,161 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's hard and it's going to be changing, 399 00:15:34,201 --> 00:15:35,161 Speaker 2: but I can do it. 400 00:15:35,241 --> 00:15:37,121 Speaker 1: And the more he does that, the more repetition of 401 00:15:37,161 --> 00:15:40,521 Speaker 1: that that story gets smaller, or if it pops in, it 402 00:15:40,561 --> 00:15:41,681 Speaker 1: dissolves pretty quickly. 403 00:15:41,881 --> 00:15:43,521 Speaker 2: That's such a beautiful way to go about it. 404 00:15:43,521 --> 00:15:47,121 Speaker 3: It's cool to invite that curiosity into your friendships and 405 00:15:47,121 --> 00:15:48,201 Speaker 3: your pationships. 406 00:15:48,641 --> 00:15:51,561 Speaker 1: Don't squash how they're feeling because also it invalidates them 407 00:15:51,561 --> 00:15:53,801 Speaker 1: as well. It's like, well I am feeling like that. 408 00:15:53,921 --> 00:15:55,241 Speaker 1: You don't want to jump in and you don't have 409 00:15:55,281 --> 00:15:58,241 Speaker 1: to save the day. Just get curious on it, sit 410 00:15:58,281 --> 00:16:00,721 Speaker 1: with it with them, and the more neutral and calm 411 00:16:00,761 --> 00:16:02,881 Speaker 1: you are with it, the more neutral and calm they 412 00:16:02,921 --> 00:16:05,201 Speaker 1: can be with it too. Oh that's true, right, You 413 00:16:05,241 --> 00:16:07,401 Speaker 1: create that energy lead the way they hold the torch. 414 00:16:07,521 --> 00:16:09,681 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're making it comfortable for them to bring in 415 00:16:09,721 --> 00:16:12,321 Speaker 3: something that might feel emotionally charred and safe. 416 00:16:12,601 --> 00:16:13,961 Speaker 1: It's actually okay for you to feel like. 417 00:16:13,881 --> 00:16:16,601 Speaker 3: That and welcome them in and then next time if 418 00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:18,161 Speaker 3: that does come up for them, they're going to know 419 00:16:18,201 --> 00:16:19,761 Speaker 3: that they can come to you with it, yes, because 420 00:16:19,761 --> 00:16:20,561 Speaker 3: there's no judgment. 421 00:16:20,961 --> 00:16:22,001 Speaker 1: I feel love the same way. 422 00:16:22,081 --> 00:16:24,561 Speaker 2: There's no bias, and they're going to support you through that. 423 00:16:24,761 --> 00:16:27,241 Speaker 1: It's so cool.

It's almost like there's 431 00:16:46,361 --> 00:16:49,241 Speaker 3: no room for mistakes. Yeah, your internal dialogue. The moment 432 00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:51,761 Speaker 3: you make a mistake, boom, you're shitting on yourself or 433 00:16:52,041 --> 00:16:54,681 Speaker 3: you're making yourself the worst person in the world because 434 00:16:54,681 --> 00:16:57,001 Speaker 3: you made a mistake that was human, you know. And 435 00:16:57,041 --> 00:17:02,161 Speaker 3: it's like this relationship with failing making mistakes. Being imperfect 436 00:17:02,841 --> 00:17:06,081 Speaker 3: creates such a heavy narrative internally. 437 00:17:05,681 --> 00:17:08,881 Speaker 1: And unrealistic expectations like if you are oh my god, 438 00:17:08,881 --> 00:17:11,241 Speaker 1: I have to be perfect all the time, Like no. 439 00:17:11,201 --> 00:17:14,561 Speaker 3: But how exhausting that is trying to be perfect at 440 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,041 Speaker 3: every turn, every way that you show up, what you do, 441 00:17:17,201 --> 00:17:19,281 Speaker 3: how you act, how you behave. 442 00:17:19,041 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: In all different areas of your life. 443 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,521 Speaker 3: And I can say it because I've tried to be 444 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,721 Speaker 3: that for so long. That's been one of my biggest wounds, 445 00:17:25,921 --> 00:17:28,921 Speaker 3: is trying to be perfect in every single area because 446 00:17:28,961 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: I thought that would make me more love. Yeah, but 447 00:17:30,921 --> 00:17:33,521 Speaker 3: it's just it's not, and it doesn't. It doesn't work 448 00:17:33,521 --> 00:17:37,281 Speaker 3: at backfires. Makes you feel more disconnected from yourself, yeah, 449 00:17:37,321 --> 00:17:41,401 Speaker 3: And it also makes you a more critical person of yourself. Yeah, 450 00:17:41,681 --> 00:17:44,241 Speaker 3: because you are so much more harsh in the way 451 00:17:44,281 --> 00:17:46,761 Speaker 3: you speak to yourself because of the relationship you have 452 00:17:46,801 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: with mistakes and failure. Yeah, and because of the relationship 453 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,041 Speaker 3: you have with the need to be perfect, and so 454 00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,441 Speaker 3: you were just such a bully to yourself. 455 00:17:54,681 --> 00:17:57,321 Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that we talk about this so openly too. 456 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,321 Speaker 1: And someone who I've always loved listening to, whether she's 457 00:18:00,321 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: on stage or a podcast, is Brene Brown. 458 00:18:02,561 --> 00:18:03,961 Speaker 2: Oh she's good, isn't she. 459 00:18:03,961 --> 00:18:06,161 Speaker 1: She'll talk about her in a critic she doesn't work 460 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,161 Speaker 1: it in a critic way, but she'll talk about her 461 00:18:08,441 --> 00:18:11,641 Speaker 1: internal dialogue and she'll share personal stories where she's shot 462 00:18:11,721 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: on herself or she's been scared or doubted herself, and 463 00:18:14,681 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: it's so relatable. It just makes it so normalized and okay, 464 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: and just know that, like, you're not the only one 465 00:18:19,001 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: that's doing this. We're all going through it. But you 466 00:18:21,241 --> 00:18:24,521 Speaker 1: can also push past that and still do amazing great things. 467 00:18:24,561 --> 00:18:26,321 Speaker 1: And she say like, I think she's in her fifties now, 468 00:18:26,561 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: and she still has that little voice that tells us 469 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: she shouldn't be on stage and that she shouldn't be 470 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:33,041 Speaker 1: teaching this. And you know when she talks about relationships, 471 00:18:33,041 --> 00:18:34,561 Speaker 1: she's like, well, I've nearly got a divorce and I've 472 00:18:34,561 --> 00:18:36,561 Speaker 1: had arguments my partner and I still argue with him, 473 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: and it's just like that's all going to be there 474 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:42,041 Speaker 1: because you're a human. Get rid of these unrealistic expectations 475 00:18:42,041 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: that you have to be perfect in your life has 476 00:18:43,481 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: to be perfect and you can't make mistakes, and just 477 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,561 Speaker 1: like sit with it and push through it.

Yeah, she's super human. 481 00:18:54,041 --> 00:18:56,321 Speaker 3: And I love that she talks about shame and vulnerability 482 00:18:57,001 --> 00:18:59,321 Speaker 3: and then she shares her I've heard her once on 483 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:02,041 Speaker 3: a Ted talk or something, yeah, share an experience about 484 00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:05,441 Speaker 3: her and her husband, how she would resist the vulnerability 485 00:19:05,761 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 3: and she would say the real thoughts that would come 486 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,481 Speaker 3: into her head, like I don't want to talk to him, 487 00:19:09,721 --> 00:19:12,041 Speaker 3: And she's just so real and open, and it. 488 00:19:12,001 --> 00:19:14,361 Speaker 1: Is like she's so loved, right, It's so true. It's 489 00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:16,161 Speaker 1: like she has all those thoughts and she allows them 490 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: to be there. But it still hasn't stopped her from 491 00:19:18,761 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: making impact and living an amazing life and having a 492 00:19:20,961 --> 00:19:22,801 Speaker 1: great relationship human. 493 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,401 Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing, isn't it knowing that you can 494 00:19:25,481 --> 00:19:29,761 Speaker 3: still have an internal dialogue that is somewhat negative because 495 00:19:29,761 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 3: we can't get rid of our. 496 00:19:30,521 --> 00:19:31,921 Speaker 1: Negative positive all the time. 497 00:19:31,921 --> 00:19:35,681 Speaker 3: It's not that's unrealistic for us, Like we have days 498 00:19:35,681 --> 00:19:38,961 Speaker 3: some days you're up and I'm down, or you're down 499 00:19:38,961 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 3: and I'm up, or sometimes we meet each other in 500 00:19:40,681 --> 00:19:43,321 Speaker 3: the middle, but not every single day is consistent. And 501 00:19:43,681 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 3: I think it's like an unrealistic expectation and pressure that 502 00:19:47,281 --> 00:19:49,001 Speaker 3: we put on ourselves to think that we need to 503 00:19:49,001 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 3: be high vibe all the time and that everything needs 504 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 3: to be positive and dandy, and every every moment of 505 00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,041 Speaker 3: self talk is like, Oh my god, I love myself 506 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,001 Speaker 3: and I'm proud of myself. It's just not like that 507 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 3: because think about the external variables that impact your mood. 508 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 3: I'm talking food, like a sleep, having a fight with 509 00:20:07,481 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: your partner, cycle, money issues, cycle, having children, like having 510 00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 3: you know, being impatient, or maybe they're feeling they're triggering 511 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,041 Speaker 3: you one day, like, there's so many external variables that 512 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,201 Speaker 3: dictate our mood and our thought patterns, and then bom, 513 00:20:21,241 --> 00:20:22,321 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I'm spiraling. 514 00:20:22,481 --> 00:20:26,201 Speaker 1: Literally, you know, it's so true. It's just humanized yourself. 515 00:20:26,281 --> 00:20:28,441 Speaker 1: It'll be the best gift you can ever give yourself. 516 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: I had a daylight that yesterday, I was just in 517 00:20:30,481 --> 00:20:34,481 Speaker 1: a mood. I was just low, unmotivated. I wasn't satisfied 518 00:20:34,481 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: in my food. I couldn't make decisions. I felt like 519 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,001 Speaker 1: brain foggy, felt a bit like disconnected to myself, couldn't 520 00:20:40,001 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: make decisions. And I looked at my app and I 521 00:20:42,721 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's the faith of your fac we're in. 522 00:20:44,441 --> 00:20:46,441 Speaker 1: That makes me feel better. And I contacted my natch 523 00:20:46,481 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: path too, because I'm working on my hormones, and I 524 00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,201 Speaker 1: was like, I'm really feeling like this today. She's like, yeah, 525 00:20:50,201 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: because of X y Z, Like that's gonna intensify around 526 00:20:53,441 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: this time of your cycle. 527 00:20:54,761 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: You know. 528 00:20:55,041 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: We made a plan from there, and then I also 529 00:20:56,721 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: just communicated with Steve how's feelings. So it took it 530 00:20:58,681 --> 00:21:00,961 Speaker 1: nice and easy that I ordered oobeats and just had 531 00:21:00,961 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: to chiunight with the kids and just flowed with it. 532 00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: There wasn't once that I shamed myself or for I 533 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: just allowed those thoughts to be there, because I had 534 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,721 Speaker 1: thoughts of like, oh, you're lazy, you should be doing more. 535 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Like, get up, get up, do more, 536 00:21:12,961 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: You've got to do list. I remember sitting at work 537 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,041 Speaker 1: at like eleven thirty and Steve called me, I do 538 00:21:17,041 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: want to go to lunch. I'm like, fuck, yeah, I do. I 539 00:21:19,201 --> 00:21:21,761 Speaker 1: don't want to sit here like not being productive and 540 00:21:21,801 --> 00:21:24,801 Speaker 1: I just feel shit. And yeah, I allowed those negative 541 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: thoughts to come and just be there, and then I 542 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,761 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I'm gonna get on with my day. 543 00:21:27,801 --> 00:21:29,761 Speaker 1: Today's not the day. Yeah, it's not the day for 544 00:21:29,801 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: me to get shit done. And that's okay. I'm going 545 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:32,761 Speaker 1: to go have a nice lunch, go hang with the kids. 546 00:21:32,761 --> 00:21:34,321 Speaker 1: Early in the RVO and it was nice, just what 547 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: I needed. Now I feel recharged because I just allowed 548 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: myself to have that space, you know. Yeah. 549 00:21:39,801 --> 00:21:42,481 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think in my experience as well, it's been 550 00:21:42,801 --> 00:21:45,041 Speaker 3: so good to just know that you can have a 551 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,041 Speaker 3: bad day, yeah, or know that you can have bad 552 00:21:47,041 --> 00:21:48,521 Speaker 3: thoughts and it doesn't have to mean anything. 553 00:21:48,561 --> 00:21:48,761 Speaker 1: Yeah. 554 00:21:48,801 --> 00:21:50,201 Speaker 2: I talk about this, I'll act on it. 555 00:21:50,561 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 3: You can think something and it not have to mean something, 556 00:21:53,521 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 3: and you can feel something and not have to act 557 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: on it. Yes, And that's been a huge game changer 558 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 3: for both of us, wowful in our relationships. Yeahsion and 559 00:22:02,041 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 3: everything that we experience. 560 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you. 561 00:22:04,801 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 3: Don't make yourself wrong for having your human experience. 562 00:22:08,241 --> 00:22:10,001 Speaker 1: And thoughts that come into your head that don't have 563 00:22:10,041 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: to mean. 564 00:22:10,481 --> 00:22:14,241 Speaker 3: Feelings, emotions, It doesn't think. It only means something when 565 00:22:14,281 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 3: you attach specific meaning to it. Yes, So when you 566 00:22:17,441 --> 00:22:20,241 Speaker 3: don't do that and you can really see your thoughts 567 00:22:20,241 --> 00:22:22,041 Speaker 3: from like a bird's eye view, yeah, I feel like 568 00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 3: that's really helpful and something that's really helped me. I 569 00:22:25,201 --> 00:22:27,721 Speaker 3: can't remember where I learned this. I wish I knew 570 00:22:27,761 --> 00:22:30,321 Speaker 3: so I could credit it, But what I got told 571 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 3: is like when you are thinking about negative thoughts and 572 00:22:32,681 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 3: you want to start observing your thoughts. The way that 573 00:22:35,481 --> 00:22:37,881 Speaker 3: you do it is like, imagine you have like this 574 00:22:37,961 --> 00:22:40,721 Speaker 3: whole screen and like you know, like numbers like ones 575 00:22:40,761 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 3: and zeros like coding. Yeah, imagine that they're just like 576 00:22:43,561 --> 00:22:47,801 Speaker 3: flying across your eyes sight right now, and there's thousands 577 00:22:47,801 --> 00:22:51,041 Speaker 3: of them, Like think about the third and thousands of thoughts. Yeah, 578 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 3: what happens is like that's happening every day, all day, 579 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,721 Speaker 3: every day, and then all of a sudden, this thought 580 00:22:55,761 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 3: comes in and it is negative, and it stops and 581 00:22:58,041 --> 00:23:00,681 Speaker 3: it catches your attention, and all you have to do 582 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,001 Speaker 3: is let it go and observe that thought continuing on 583 00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,081 Speaker 3: with the rest of them. So it's just like a 584 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:09,721 Speaker 3: way to like see what's kind of happening in your 585 00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 3: mind and knowing that if you choose to give power 586 00:23:12,721 --> 00:23:15,921 Speaker 3: to that thought, it will become more of your Yeah, 587 00:23:15,961 --> 00:23:17,721 Speaker 3: but if you let it go and know that it's 588 00:23:17,761 --> 00:23:21,041 Speaker 3: one of fifty million, thous how the many thoughts I 589 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,561 Speaker 3: think per day, it's not going to have so. 590 00:23:23,561 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 2: Much of behold over you. 591 00:23:24,961 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: I love that. 592 00:23:25,681 --> 00:23:27,841 Speaker 3: It's just something that always stuck with me because now 593 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,561 Speaker 3: when I'm like if I feel super overwhelmed, I'm like, 594 00:23:29,561 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: it's just another thought, it's just another thought. 595 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,161 Speaker 1: That's really cool. Yeah, I love that. I also love 596 00:23:34,281 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: just a thought that comes in like that. It's a 597 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: little bit different, but just once again going back to 598 00:23:38,001 --> 00:23:39,801 Speaker 1: just allowing it to be there. I learned that from you. 599 00:23:40,001 --> 00:23:41,761 Speaker 1: It's one time that Steve was pissing me off. I 600 00:23:41,801 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: don't know what he was doing, and I was like, 601 00:23:44,201 --> 00:23:45,561 Speaker 1: I can't really what I said to it, and I'm like, oh, 602 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: I just feel like this. And I was like, oh, 603 00:23:47,561 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: but I feel really bad for a feeling like that, 604 00:23:49,001 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: and you were like, well, you can feel that doesn't 605 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,481 Speaker 1: mean you have to action. It doesn't mean anything about 606 00:23:52,481 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: your relationship, because if you allow that to just be there, 607 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,561 Speaker 1: it'll dissolve and go away. And the next day you're like, 608 00:23:57,561 --> 00:23:59,081 Speaker 1: how are you feeling about that? I'm like, oh, oh 609 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,801 Speaker 1: that's fine. Now that's gone. I don't feel like that anymore. 610 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,121 Speaker 1: I'm back in love. I'm all good. Yeah, yeah, he's 611 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,481 Speaker 1: all good and yeah. And I was like, oh, wow, 612 00:24:04,481 --> 00:24:06,481 Speaker 1: that was really good for me to just experience, like, Okay, 613 00:24:06,521 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: I can think that and feel that in that moment, 614 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,761 Speaker 1: out of anger, out of whatever was going on, say 615 00:24:11,801 --> 00:24:13,761 Speaker 1: what they just let it be there? And then I 616 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: moved through it. Yeah. Was if I had suppress that 617 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: or not fully acknowledged it or attached a story to 618 00:24:19,961 --> 00:24:22,321 Speaker 1: it that could have become a new belief about him 619 00:24:22,801 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: or about our relationship, that would be so detrimental to us. 620 00:24:26,521 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: So it was like, let it be there. It passes 621 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,601 Speaker 1: because you processed it in the moment exactly. 622 00:24:30,961 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 3: If you suppressed it, it would have fested, Yeah, and 623 00:24:33,241 --> 00:24:35,001 Speaker 3: grow bigger, gotten bigger. 624 00:24:34,801 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Turned something that wasn't even true. 625 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,801 Speaker 3: Yeah, you would have added fuel to that the next 626 00:24:37,801 --> 00:24:39,481 Speaker 3: time you feel that, because you would be like, oh, 627 00:24:39,481 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 3: well now it's. 628 00:24:40,001 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 2: Twice as big, literally because of the thing that I 629 00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:43,161 Speaker 2: didn't look at last week. 630 00:24:43,201 --> 00:24:43,521 Speaker 3: M m. 631 00:24:43,721 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really hard for what you go through. 632 00:24:45,681 --> 00:24:47,121 Speaker 1: It was so cool and I use it all the time. 633 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: I like, not just with him, with the kids, anything, work, 634 00:24:50,761 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: And I'm like, Okay, I can feel that right now. 635 00:24:52,681 --> 00:24:54,721 Speaker 1: I might not feel like that tomorrow, and nine out 636 00:24:54,721 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: of ten times I wake up the next day, I'm like, 637 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,481 Speaker 1: I'm good, I feel like that anymore. 638 00:24:58,521 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 2: I have a question for you. 639 00:25:00,281 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, so when we talk about not going from negative 640 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,241 Speaker 3: me girl self talk to oh my god, I'm so 641 00:25:07,241 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 3: obsessed in love with myself, what's a happy medium in 642 00:25:09,961 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 3: the middle that you have used to help you go 643 00:25:13,201 --> 00:25:16,281 Speaker 3: from a mean girl to like more neutral in the middle. 644 00:25:16,761 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: As in something when I say to myself, I thing 645 00:25:18,681 --> 00:25:21,801 Speaker 1: you would say to yourself, Yeah, thank you, thank you 646 00:25:21,801 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: for being there.
