1 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: Okay. So we we often focus on preparing for the holidays, 2 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: and that means shopping Black Friday recipes, hot luck, enough alcohol, 3 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: enough ice? Do we have help? What are we wearing? 4 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: What are we drinking? What are we playing? Where are 5 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: we going? Do we have enough chairs? Do we have 6 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: a kid's table? Do we have games? All of these things. 7 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: We don't spend enough time focusing on self care and 8 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: how to prepare for other aspects of the holiday. So 9 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: are we exercising because it's going to make us feel distressed? 10 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: Are we doing in a yoga? Are we breathing? Are 11 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: we walking? You know, getting outside and leaving your house 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: can distress from family, like switching lanes, stepping away from 13 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: the vortex, because you know, people get edgy, and people's 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: issues trigger your issues, and if you're looking at something 15 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: you're sort of things just trigger you. Things annoy us 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: as particularly during the holidays, it's heightened because you are 17 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: stressed about the gifts and the preparation and the cooking 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So now when someone's got bad 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: hygiene or where something ridiculous or says something ridiculous or 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: is annoying or is spoiled, there is jealous, there's competitive 21 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna just fly off. But if you just step 22 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: outside and take a walk, or go upstairs and put 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: on one of the relaxation apps and take a deep breath, 24 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: you're preparing yourself if you are going if you have 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: triggers around food and have a lot of food noise. 26 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: First of all, absolutely read naturally thin. I don't. I 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: literally haven't seen a check on that book in ten years. 28 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: I have no idea why. Probably making money and it's 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: been in some hole somewhere. But so I'm saying I'm 30 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: not hawking because I'm making any money on it. I'm 31 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: hawking it because it's an amazing book that calms down 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: your noise and turns it into a voice that you 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: can make good decisions about what you're eating. Like, is 34 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: this something my diet is about? Of accounts? So this 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: is a good investment, this is a bad investment. That's okay. 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: We've all made bad investments in money, We've all made 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: bad investments in clothing and purchases. But how do we 38 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: how do we balance that with a good investment? So 39 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: how do we make a decision about what we're going 40 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: to do? How do we have a plan is it? 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: Is it that we're only going to fill our plate 42 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: once we know what it's going to be. We're organized, 43 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: we go to the table where we feel it once 44 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: we're not going to keep being members of the clean 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: plate club. So then we're gonna feel bad about ourselves. 46 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: And people sometimes say, oh, shut up like that. You know, 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: that's when you do eat. I understand that if you 48 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: have no noise about it, have at it. But if 49 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: you're a person who's noisy about food, then do spoil 50 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: your appetite. Eat a healthy snack before you leave a house. 51 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: You're not just grabbing at the first thing you see. 52 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: That also relates to holiday parties. Don't be just grabbing 53 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: it every order that comes in front of you have 54 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: to be hydrating. Otherwise you'll drink thinking you're thirsty. You'll 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: drink more alcohol thinking you're thirsty. So I do you 56 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: like cocktails? You have to set yourself up for success. 57 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: Try to drink water before and in between. Try to water, 58 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: drink sound club soda and with ice, try to nurse drinks. 59 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta set yourself up for success. And 60 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: cocktails will make you want to eat more because your 61 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: judgment goes out the window, so they'll they'll make you 62 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: think everything is a good idea, and binging is a 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: good idea, and it's a very triggering time. You're gonna 64 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: be getting popcorn buckets and cookie baskets and all these 65 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: kind of treats. Don't deprive. Just figure out how to 66 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: have a relationship with those items. Meaning decide, Okay, I 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: love those popcorn buckets, so let me get a bowl 68 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: and pour it into the bowl, and that's what I'm 69 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: going to have. Or I love pie, I'm gonna have 70 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: one piece of pie. Or I've decided that I like 71 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: dessert more than wine, so I'll have one glass of 72 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: wine and half of a dessert. Or I've decided stuffing 73 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: is my favorite thing. Like you're just weighing it. You're 74 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: making some sort of a plan for yourself. If you 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: know you have issues in that area, You're not just 76 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: gonna say screw it, because then you're gonna be in 77 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: a bad mood the rest of the weekend because you 78 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: feel bad about yourself, or you feel bloated because you 79 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: don't have a good relationship with food. There will be 80 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: another drink, dessert, piece of bread, side dish, fattening food, 81 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: there will be and there is the point of diminishing return, 82 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: meaning after you've eaten five spoonfuls of mashed potatoes, you 83 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: got it, you ate it, you know what it tastes like, 84 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: It's delicious, we did it like, you don't need to 85 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: the point of diminishing return. And if you're a person 86 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: that I'm a person that doesn't know what I ever 87 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: want to have, Like in my house, I'm just like 88 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: what am I in the mood for? And if you 89 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: keep craving something and you're concerned about it, switch lanes 90 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: and try something from a totally different food category, meaning 91 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: you're around food in your house, doesn't have to be 92 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: at the meal. Just go try something to switch the lanes. 93 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: Like you've eaten sweets, you're eating more sweets, You've had 94 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: too much sugar, you candy that switch lanes is something salty, 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: some whole different thing. Just eat a random salad. You 96 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: don't think you want it, and you probably don't want it, 97 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: but just eat it anyway because it's sort of just 98 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: like turns that sweet faucet off. Another thing to do 99 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: is to eat the high volume foods first, So to 100 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: go to the vegetables, to go to the salads to 101 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: go to the soups and things that weigh a lot 102 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: of things that are dense. Eat the things that are 103 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: filling the water drink or water first. It's sort of 104 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: it's sort of I think the word of stave. It 105 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: sort of cuts it off at the past It takes 106 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: the edge off. So in an unrelated story and not Thanksgiving, 107 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: if you addible of pasta and it had like broccoli 108 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: in it or chicken, I guess you would eat the 109 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: chicken and the broccoli first because that would fill you up. 110 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: Then you would probably less of the pasta. You only 111 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: have enough room in your stomach. So if you eat 112 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: the things that are more high volume and better investments, 113 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: you'll eat less of the things that you are worried about. Um. 114 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: And that's sort of the do spoil your appetite mentality, 115 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: meaning you're going to fill yourself up first on things 116 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: that are better investments. Um. If you're not good if 117 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: you didn't eat, and you're not bad if you do eat. 118 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: Having that sort of a conversation about being bad if 119 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: you ate, means that you're then gonna like punish yourself 120 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: and you did it, and you're gonna keep going worse 121 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: and you're gonna binge and then tomorrow you're going to 122 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: be good. That's not how it works, because no one 123 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: ever became overweight by eating pizza or cookies or pumpkin 124 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: pie or stuffing. People only became overweight by binging and 125 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: eating extreme amounts of that. So just check yourself there. 126 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: Everything you want you can have, just not all at once. 127 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: So enter with some sort of a plan, decide what 128 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: your exercise story is going to be. Don't try to 129 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: hit a home run during this time, don't try to 130 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: lose weight, just try to coast. This is sort of 131 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: let the games begin. Thanksgivings coming, then Christmas will come 132 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: in the New Year's then Kwanza, then hot you know, 133 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: and Hanakah, not in order. Obviously, it's all coming. So 134 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: just be in the moment and just being touched with 135 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: yourself and prepare for that. So I'm going to talk 136 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: about being organized. Uh. A lot of my work is personal, 137 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: but it's connected to business. So for example, Christmas gifts 138 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: is something I don't have to do, and the personal 139 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: ones I find enjoyable, but I feel the need to 140 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: give business Christmas gifts. And it's interesting because most people 141 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: don't no. Literally nine of people never thank you for 142 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: any other Christmas gifts that you give in a corporate setting. 143 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: It's interesting, I guess because they're thinking it's like you're 144 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: giving it as a thank you gift. I don't know, 145 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: but it's very weird to me. But I like to 146 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: do it. I like to acknowledge people's work. I like 147 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: to give gifts. I have a gift closet in each house. 148 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: I always have the right gift cards. I think about 149 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: it months in advance. It really reinforces what I always 150 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: know to be true, that being organized is literally the 151 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: key to reducing stress in ways. UH, it can be 152 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: stressful because I'm perfectionist and hyper organized. So when you're 153 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: on a burst and when you're making sure that everything 154 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: is the way it needs to be, when you're moving, 155 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: when it's Christmas, when you're packing, when you're unpacking, when 156 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: you're getting your kids ready for school, you're packing them, 157 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 1: when you're dealing with their toys and crayons and getting 158 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: rid of their baby clothes and all that, it can 159 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: be stressful. And you're purging your closets or uh and 160 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: and putting bags and bags for donation or consignment that 161 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: stuff can be activating, as I like to call it, 162 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: but by and large, doing that enables you to then 163 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: have more free time. So I was just talking about 164 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: this TV show that I'm working on and it would 165 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: largely be in l A, and the schedule is challenging. 166 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: So when my assistant comes to me to talk to 167 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: me about it versus just sort of waiting for later, 168 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: I want to understand, and this is months away. I 169 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: want to understand specifically what every day looks like. I 170 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: want to know not just dates, but what day of 171 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: the week is that, What happens right before that, what's 172 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: happening after? Am I traveling? Before? And after? Um? I 173 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: going to the Radio City Christmas Hall with my daughter? 174 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: When are we going to look at the sex windows? 175 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: When are we going ice skating? When are we going 176 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: to see the tree? So in order to do that, 177 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: to get your kids to soccer, to get them their lunches, 178 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: to get them their doctor's appointments, to get them their vaccinations, 179 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: to get yourself on vacation, to pack, to be a 180 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: good wife, sister, brother, mother, daughter, or father, et cetera, 181 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: you got to kind of look at it as a chessboard. 182 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: You have to be seeing the pieces in front of you, 183 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: but be aware of the whole board, because that's how 184 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: you can really be hyper functional, and that's how you 185 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: then can stack and do all like sort of the 186 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: nitty gritty on the same days and at the same time, 187 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: so then you can relax, meaning the last two days, 188 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: which is early and it seems crazy. I literally called Paul, 189 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: my fiance, and said Christmas is over because I had 190 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: my assistants come here and I have a running list 191 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: every year that says what everyone got last year, because 192 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: you don't want to get the same person the same 193 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: gift from last year. So if I get some of 194 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: the same thing as three years ago, whatever, but you 195 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: want to kind of have an understanding of what you 196 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: get people. And um, so that's a great thing to start, 197 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: and people change. You add people. I mean it's down 198 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: to everybody from my housekeeper to my dog walker, to 199 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: my daughter's tutor, to teachers, to everybody's on this list. 200 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: It's just something I love to do with something I've 201 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: always loved to do. So we went through the list 202 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: yesterday and then it begins and then it's like, Okay, 203 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: what wine bags do I have or do I go 204 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: buy them, and do they look really cute and upscale? 205 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: And do I have hang tags? And then what wines 206 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: and you know, getting giving the most important person the 207 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: most expensive wine, and then someone a bottle of you know, 208 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: twenty dollar rose, which I guess would be forty dollars 209 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: in a restaurant, and adding a nice candle to it 210 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: or making it meaningful, you know, having a cute journal 211 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: that I bought. I buy things when they're on sale 212 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: or when I like them, or when I'm somewhere and 213 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: I see something that I think is a great gift, 214 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: and I buy in bulk and I keep it in 215 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: a gift closet. So I have I don't want to 216 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 1: say about all the gifts are in case people I 217 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: know are listening, But I have all these certain gifts 218 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: that I'm may have eight of and they're good for 219 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,599 Speaker 1: if someone did me a favorite to be on my podcast, 220 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: or if they're my lawyer or my dentist or whatever. 221 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: So and then if you do it this early, you know, 222 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: when it's Black Friday or when you're getting closer than 223 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: you can just fill in the blanks versus scrambling. So 224 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: the point is now it's pretty much done and my 225 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, I know exactly what it is and will 226 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: also be the first ones to deliver all the gifts. 227 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: And it becomes like Santa Slay and we have to 228 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: ship certain gifts and deliver. But it's just good to 229 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: be organized because now I don't have to worry about 230 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: it anymore. The next couple of days before Thanksgiving I 231 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: have worked, but that was something that was really daunting, 232 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: and now it's pretty much. I dealt with it. It 233 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: was hours, probably two to four hours, but it's over 234 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: and it's like great. And the girls who work for me, 235 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: I'm teaching them sort of the skill set abow to 236 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: do that. So I want you to understand too, that 237 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: I get an incredible amount done overall, an extraordinary, superhuman 238 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: amount done. It's really largely because I'm organized, because my 239 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: refrigerators are organized, because my laundry area is organized, because 240 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: my daughter is organized, because her area, I mean, because 241 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: otherwise you're just dealing with a whole massive mess. And 242 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: so many of us during the pandemics saw that we 243 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: saw we were looking at our stuff. We were looking 244 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: at our drawers, we were looking at our decor, and 245 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: we were looking at all of the things that we've 246 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: hoarded and bought and didn't need, and we were purging. 247 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: So if you have done that, which I completely have done, 248 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: I've probably gotten rid of two hundred items just from 249 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: my whole from thirty years of life. And then you 250 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: won't make the mistake of buying in the same way 251 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: you used to. You won't buy like the little crap. 252 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: You'll save up to get what you really really like 253 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: and what you really know you'll love. Because you're looking 254 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: at everything that you don't where that you don't like 255 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: that you may like it. And that's sort of also 256 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: connected to being organized, because I believe that in your 257 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: own closet you should have fewer better I talk about 258 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: this NHS and all the time. Fewer better, buy really well, 259 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: and you'll keep it forever. Don't buy gimmicks, don't buy trends. 260 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: If you want to buy something trendy for a costume 261 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: party or because you just can't resist, it should be 262 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: the cheapest version that you then feel is disposable. You know, 263 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: afford dollar T shirt from HS H and M or something. 264 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: But don't believe the hype in trendy items. So by 265 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: really well when things are on sale, by classics, keep 266 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: them forever, and you will see when you go through 267 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: if you don't live for it, even if you like 268 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: it but you don't wear it, it doesn't matter. You're 269 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: not gonna wear it. It's just not sorry, and you're sorry, 270 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: and you made a mistake and you'll learn from your 271 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: mistakes and you won't buy in the same way. And 272 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: I teach the girls also who work with me, young girls, 273 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: and listen, here's a living proof of why to buy 274 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: things that are good quality A if you wanted to, 275 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: you could resell them years later. Be you'll keep them forever. 276 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: Don't buy the garbage, because it's just you're gonna want 277 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: to get rid of it. So the whole thing is 278 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: just being organized will help you be more uh efficient 279 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: and then have more free time to re acts, get 280 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: things out of the way, and accomplished so much more. 281 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: Um So, my daughter went vegetarian over a month ago, 282 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: and she just sort of looked at the statistics and 283 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: thought about us deciding whether to kill animals or not. 284 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: Now I was she has leather sneakers. She doesn't even 285 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: think about that aspect of it. And um she's been 286 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: pretty strict and she does eat some dairy and so 287 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: she doesn't think about that aspect. I mean she does 288 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. This separation of the mom from the 289 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: baby calves so the moms get more milk in them, 290 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: and apparently the separation from the mother to the calf 291 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: is like excruciating screaming. And you know, this is a 292 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: hot button topic because a lot of people just swear 293 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: by eating meat. Um. Other people try to do the 294 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: best they can. My fiance Paul has eats chicken literally 295 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: twice a day for twenty years, and he hasn't eaten 296 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: anything besides fish. And then there's why we're only eating fish, 297 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: so fish get killed, but then chickens don't. And you know, 298 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: there's a million different ways and double standards, and I 299 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: guess people are just doing the best that they can. 300 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: But I do believe that even if I haven't even 301 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: me in awhile because of my daughter's crusade, and I've 302 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: liked it, so I've been probably ninety eight percent vegan 303 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: since she started her um crusade vegan and what I'm eating, 304 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: I have not been vegan and having leather. But it 305 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: makes sense to me that Thanksgiving is an unusual time 306 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: to just decide to just arbitrarily kill thousands and thousands 307 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: and millions and millions of turkeys Like that does seem weird. 308 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: It does seem strange that we just decide because also, 309 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: I don't like waste at all. I don't like waste 310 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: in anything. I don't waste food. I don't waste you know, 311 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm getting rid of something, and make sure it goes 312 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: to the right place. Um so I even use if 313 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: if I wall paper samples came here when I was 314 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: designing my house, I put it in my daughter's arts 315 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: and crafts drawers so she can use it for collage. 316 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: And I'm just not a person who waste. I'm not 317 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: a wasteful person. So you anywhere you are on Thanksgiving, 318 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: there's so much turkey. And if you're a person who 319 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: makes leftovers and makes turkey for tatas and turkey tacos, 320 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: which I'm sure many of you are, then great. But 321 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people just waste and love all the 322 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: other stuff, the stuffing and the mashed potatoes and the 323 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: other stuff. So someone should just do real research on 324 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: what people like the most. But I mean, I know 325 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: they'd be grandfather's like banging the ceiling and blowing the 326 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: roof off, if there was to be no turkey. But anyway, 327 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: it just made me think of that. I don't know why. 328 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: When I think Thanksgiving, I think a turkey, and then 329 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: now because of brand I think of killing turkeys. And 330 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: you can be mad at me because I'm a hypocrite, 331 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: but just a thought. Uh, And I guess it also 332 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: brings me to do we do we think about the 333 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: meaning of holidays, Thanksgivings coming, and so most people truthfully 334 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: don't think when they're planning for Thanksgiving about being thankful. Honestly, 335 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: they think about travel. They think about, Oh God, I 336 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: gotta get my Christmas holiday gifts shot, my gifts shopping 337 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: out of the way. Wait, am I going to ice skating? 338 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: Are we doing? Uh? Going to see the windows in 339 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: New York City? Um? What are we doing for Christmas? 340 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: We didn't plan that yet. Wow, it's getting chilly. We 341 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: gotta go decorate. Are we ready? Are we ready for? 342 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: It's just it's just like sort of Thanksgiving is like 343 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: the gun is shot off and the race has begun 344 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: into the holidays. So everybody before Thanksgiving starts to get 345 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: a little bit of anxiety because they know one Thanksgiving 346 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: is over, then it's black Friday and we missed it all. 347 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: Now everybody's in the stores, but that's when the deals are. 348 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: But everybody's in the store, so then we're going to 349 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: be in the crowds and I'm not organized. I'm not prepared, 350 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: which I personally am because hyper organized to a fault. 351 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: So I'm prepared before Thanksgiving. But that's a different story 352 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: and a different brand of anxiety. So but Thanksgiving, I 353 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: guess it's supposed to be the time when and then 354 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: there's stories and then their stories about the Pilgrims for 355 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: your kids, and have those stories changed in schools, um, 356 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: because cultural stories have changed. And then there's actually being thankful. 357 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: And but that's the day that we're told that we're 358 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be thankful. So it's sort of like a 359 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: marketed thankfulness, just like on Valentine's Day, were supposed to 360 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: be more loving or more romantic or more coupled up 361 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: or wife feed up and more gifts are supposed to 362 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: be given and we're supposed to be getting engaged, and 363 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving we're supposed to be thankful. Um And for Christmas, 364 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: we're supposed to be good. You can't be bad, you 365 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,719 Speaker 1: can't be naughty, you have to be nice. Uh And 366 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: recently it was Veterans Day, which has actual serious meaning, 367 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: particularly for people who have people that they're related to, 368 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: or no people or honored people who have served. But 369 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: if you don't really think about the meaning of these holidays, 370 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: it's a Thursday in the middle of the week, and 371 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: there was a debate within my office as to whether 372 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: it should be off because these holidays. Uh More, Luther 373 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: King Day Juneteenth was recently added. Columbus Day was half canceled, 374 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: so all these days have meaning. And uh, I asked 375 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: my daughter, did people say to you what Veterans Day 376 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: is about? Because school is great because they'll tell them 377 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 1: what everything with the actual meaning of everything. But are 378 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: they telling them the meaning of Columbus dayor they're going 379 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: to tell the kids that Columbus Day was canceled in 380 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: June tenth, and not to confuse those days with the 381 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: other days. But then thanks to social media, now there's 382 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: all these days that we have to observe, like National 383 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: Pizza Day and Pancake Day and Cupcake Day and Hug 384 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: your Friend Day and National Pet Day and Daughter's Day 385 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: and Nurses Day. And there was always Secretary's Day. But 386 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: I guess is it now assistance because it's it's it's 387 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: it's cancelation central to call someone a secretary, and it 388 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: used to be stewardesses, and now it's flight attendance. Is 389 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: it waitress day, waiter day? Is it construction person day? 390 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: Is it sanitation worker day? It's you know, where does 391 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: this begin? And where does this end? So it's Thanksgiving, 392 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: Let's be thankful. Let's do rose and thorn and think 393 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: about the rose usually brings up for people with the 394 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: best is so maybe that's something that we're grateful for, 395 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: and maybe the thorn is something that will just allow 396 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: us to reflect on how to do things differently. So 397 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: I am grateful. Do you have an amazing partner, Paul, 398 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: who is funny and nice and loving and unbelievable to 399 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: my daughter?

Usually I feel like I'm a 404 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: frozen wax statue until I get back with her, because 405 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm 406 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: like just in a holding pattern until she's around, because 407 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: life begins again. That's when we go out to dinner 408 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: and go to Pumpkin Pick and go to the Radio 409 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: City Music Hall and go Christmas shopping and go school 410 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: shopping for her, and go and cook lasagna and all 411 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: and make this checks mix that I want to ache 412 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: with chocolate peanut butter.
