1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: A familiar hell rather than unfamiliar heaven. Like you prefer 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: something that is so bad for you, even though it's familiar, 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: You prefer that than something that is actually good for 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: you because it's unfamiliar. You really have to be okay 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: looking stupid, because I think a lot of people stop 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: themselves from doing things because they're like. 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 2: Oh, that doesn't go with my image or that. 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: Because I'm new at it, I'm going to be bad it, 9 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: and people don't want to look new. 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 3: The crowd is the gathering place of the week. So yeah, 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 3: pretty much like anyone who gets to sit on the side, 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 3: they get to be cynical and they sometimes get to 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 3: be right. But the people in the arena eventually they 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 3: get to win right and they actually. 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: Get to play. That's so far. 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's like being in the arena. It's 17 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 3: like the worst day in the arena is still better 18 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: than the best day in the crowd. 19 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm rather dabluka and on my podcast A Really Good Cry, 20 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: we embrace the messy and the beautiful, providing a space 21 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: for raw, unfielded conversations that celebrate vulnerability and allow you 22 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: to tune in to learn, connect, and find comfort. 23 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: Together. 24 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, and welcome back to this week's episode of 25 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: A Really Good Cry.

And so this one is the 72 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: calcium smoothie. 73 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: It's got kiwed avocado, some fig all of them are 74 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: really rich in calcium. So yeah, boost the bones. 75 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: Sweet. I was vegan for a while, but then I 76 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: cou've been a vegetarian my whole life. But I do 77 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: want to expel the myth as well, like you can't 78 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: get enough protein as a vegan or vegetarian. I don't 79 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: really think that's true. 80 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't believe that as all. 81 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: Honestly, I can say I get my blood work done 82 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: regularly just to make sure everything's in check and not 83 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: to chinx myself or anything. 84 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: But it's pretty healthy. So nothing seems to be missing 85 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: in my diet. 86 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: Perfect. Yeah, same as me. All right, let's get into it. 87 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: First, Okay, going to put you to work, Yeah understood, 88 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: all right, Okay, I'll chop you chat. 89 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: Yeah all right. 90 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: Okay. 91 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: In your book you talked about when you had your 92 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: sort of awakening per se. By the way, this is 93 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: how we make the recipes at home. I say that 94 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: I make it that you just watch. Yeah, you said 95 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: you had your awakening when you realize what you eat, 96 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: what you think, and the habits that you, you know, sort 97 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: of make for yourself. Yeah, pretty much transforms every other 98 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: area of your life. So what was the process of 99 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: kind of refining those inputs for yourself? Because I believe 100 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: that as well, inputs become outputs, right. 101 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, refining them? 102 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: I think I really had to sit down and think, 103 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: what are the things that are actually taking me towards 104 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: my goal or my desire to whether it was spiritual, 105 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: whether it was professional, whether it was emotional, Of everything 106 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing, what ones are going to each category? So 107 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: does this bring me towards what I want, away from 108 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: what I want, or does it keep me stagnant? And 109 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: so when I started creating those lists, I kind of 110 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: realized that majority of the things that I said I 111 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: wanted to do was not in alignment with the actions 112 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: that I was taking right right, or the words that 113 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: I was saying, or the places I was going to, 114 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: the environments, the energetic environments that I was putting myself into. 115 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: None of that was There was maybe a few things 116 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: that were in alignment, but most of those things were 117 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: actually taking me further away from it. And you kind 118 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: of have to think of it in different ways as well, 119 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: Like there's the physical aspect of how. 120 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: Does my physical body feel in it? 121 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: Does it feel drained, does it feel energized, does it 122 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: feel awakened? And then there's also the emotional and energetic 123 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: part where you can go in an environment and you 124 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: can probably be physically really active, like let's say you 125 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: go into a club, but energetically you leave and you're 126 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: probably really drained and it's taking you down to a 127 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: different frequency, and so you kind of can't just do 128 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: it as a oh yeah, I feel good doing this 129 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: and bad doing this. It's like, okay, no, take it 130 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: another level and break. 131 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: It down into this categories. Does that make sense? 132 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense. I think that's that's 133 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 3: kind of yeah, very similar to the way I started 134 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 3: refining mine and how did you identify the north stars? Though? 135 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 3: The things the goals that you were wanted to work. 136 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: Towards experimenting, Yeah, I feel like so much of the 137 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: things that we do, it's like someone can tell you 138 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: this is going to make you feel so amazing, and 139 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: you can believe them because you've seen them do it, 140 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: but actually until you experience it, for yourself. It's so 141 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: difficult to one get the taste for it, the desire 142 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: to actually do it. It's like if you think about 143 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: working out, theoretically you can have everyone on Instagram telling 144 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: you when you do this workout, it's going to make 145 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: you feel amazing. Do it every single day and you're 146 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: going to feel the best version of yourself. But only 147 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: when you do it, and not even do it once. 148 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: When you do it twice, three times, four times, five times, 149 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: do you get this desire to continue it because you've 150 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: felt the benefit of it, And so you can't. I 151 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: think you have to try everything out. You can't just 152 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: do it once. You have to do it more than that. 153 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: It's like going on a date. You can't tell if 154 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: you like someone straight away when you go on a 155 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: date with them. So when you do things multiple times, 156 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 1: it allows your body to realize because your initial reaction 157 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: to a lot of things could be negative, even if 158 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: they're positive for you, because your comfort is used to 159 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: the negative behaviors. So I've had so many friends who, 160 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: let's say they drink a lot of alcohol, and every 161 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: time I've been like, Okay, why don't you instead of 162 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: drinking alcohol with your friends, get into conversation, go out 163 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: and play like tennis together, you know, do an activity 164 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: together for them that is so uncomfortable, even though it's 165 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: better for their mind and their body. It is such 166 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: an uncomfortable place to be that your mind will tell 167 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: you this is actually not what you want to be doing, 168 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: and so you have to create the new neural pathways 169 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: that creates an association that is so much better than 170 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: by doing it over and over again, than that initial 171 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: reaction of oh no, I'd rather just sit there and 172 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: drink with my friends because that's comfortable for me. 173 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's that staying right. It's good things feel 174 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 3: good after but feel bad in the moment. Bad things 175 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: feel good in the moment, but bad after. 176 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Or with it a familiar a familiar hell, rather than 177 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: an unfamiliar heaven. Like you prefer something that is so 178 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: bad for you, even though it's familiar. You prefer that 179 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: than something that is actually good for you because it's unfamiliar. 180 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 3: And you touched on there. How we're three part beings, right, 181 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: it's funny at least you just wrote about this, how 182 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: it's mind, body, spirit, But we often neglect one or 183 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: more areas. Yeah, and that's when you kind of fall 184 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: out of alignment, but for your mind specifically, what are 185 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: some of the practices or rituals that you do to 186 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: kind of bring yourself into alignment. 187 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: What are some of the rituals I do to keep 188 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: my mind body in alignment? Is that what you ask me? 189 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? For your mind? 190 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: Okay. 191 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: One thing I think is non negotiable is something you're 192 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: learning every single day, and whether that is in the kitchen, 193 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: whether that's something you're reading, or whether that's something you're 194 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: listening to, whether it's fifteen minutes of your day, allowing 195 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: we all want to absorb information. I think a lot 196 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: of the time we feel the lack of alignment or 197 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: even purpose because if you feel like you're constantly outputting, 198 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: which a lot of us do, whether it's physically, emotionally 199 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: or mentally, whether it's at work or at home, if 200 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: you don't feel like you're fueling yourself and you don't 201 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: feel intellectually stimulated, emotionally stimulated, and physically stimulated, I personally, 202 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: for myself, I fill out of work straight away. And 203 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: so I think learning something every single day that's not 204 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: linked to a result is actually a huge read an article, 205 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be something you're going to share 206 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: or read a book. It doesn't have to be something 207 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: you're going to tell somebody else. But fueling yourself in 208 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: some way is a way you're telling your mind and 209 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: your body. Just like with food, you fuel your body 210 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: with food, and it tells your body you love it 211 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: depending on what you eat. In the same way, when 212 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: you are reading learning, you're telling your mind that you 213 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: are feeding it and that you love your mind and 214 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: that you care about it, and you're thinking about how 215 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: it thrives and how it achieves something. And so I 216 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: think learning is a big. 217 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: Part of it. 218 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: Why did you say not linked to a goal? 219 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: Just because I mean, I feel like so many things 220 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: that I loved and enjoyed throughout my life became work. 221 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: So like cooking used to be something that I loved, 222 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: and then when I started writing the book, I actually 223 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: fell out of love with cooking for like months after. 224 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: And I think every single thing that we do, even 225 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: working out, it's like you go for a workout, you 226 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: post about it, and then it becomes something that you're 227 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: doing for other people rather than something you're doing for yourself. 228 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: So try and do things without documenting it or if 229 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: you're documenting it in a journal, let it be just 230 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: for yourself. 231 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 232 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, then you know you're doing it truly for yourself 233 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: and not for anybody else, because doing things for other 234 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: people doesn't bring the same amount of satisfaction, right Yeah. 235 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 3: Rick Rubin talks about that a lot as well. Have 236 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 3: you read his book Creative Bout. 237 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: I haven't read his book, but I've seen some of 238 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: his podcasts and stuff, and like, the way of thinking 239 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: is yeah. 240 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: Please, so you really like it? So he says that 241 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 3: you don't have to monetize your passion because a lot 242 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 3: of the times when you do it, then, like you said, 243 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: it becomes work. So yeah, it really depends what you 244 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 3: want out of Like do you want to do the 245 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 3: activity just for the sake of the joy it brings 246 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 3: you yea? Or do you want to do it to 247 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: actually create a career out of it? 248 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: Well, balance the two, Like I still cook every single 249 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: night for myself. I don't document when I cook every 250 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: single night. But I think there's a balance of I 251 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: know when I'm in the kitchen and I'm working, versus 252 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: when I'm in the kitchen and I have all the 253 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: time in the world to experiment and play in the 254 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: kitchen versus having it to be Like, there's so much 255 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: pressure when I'm filming for there to be a product 256 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: that works out at. 257 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: The end of it. But if addition, I'm making a 258 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: nighte for myself doesn't look appealing. 259 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a matter. Yeah, on the subject of play, 260 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: I actually talk about this a lot, right, where you 261 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: can find your edge in life when you find what 262 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: feels like play to you but works others. I mean, 263 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: I didn't come up with that, came out from the 264 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: valve and I like that. Yeah, So how like I 265 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: did that through a lot of, like you said, experimentation, 266 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: repetition and iteration as well. I think that's super important, 267 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: like actually using the feedback that you're getting. How did 268 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 3: you kind of do that and how do you think 269 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: other people should do it? 270 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: Well, the first thing I would say is you really 271 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: have to be okay looking stupid, because I think a 272 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: lot of people stop themselves from doing things because they're like. 273 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: Oh, that doesn't go with my image or that. 274 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: Because I'm new at it, I'm going to be bad 275 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: it and people don't want to look new. 276 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 2: Yes, oh my gosh. Yeah. 277 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 3: Of course. 278 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: Basically, what you're doing is call me here to cook 279 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: for you while we have a conversation. 280 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: You're like an Indian auntie. 281 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: You know, every time Aunties come to my house and 282 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: they're like, why do you have these big knives? Yea, 283 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: they're so used to Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of 284 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: people feel like a lot of people don't want to 285 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: look like a beginner. And I think that is the problem, 286 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: where you don't want to look like someone who doesn't 287 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: know what they're doing, especially if you're used to being 288 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: good at something else. When you go into new territory, 289 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, okay, I'm going to look stupid or 290 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to look like I don't know what I'm doing, 291 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: and I'm used to looking like I know what I'm doing. 292 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: And so you have to be okay with going into 293 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: an environment where you may be the bottom of the 294 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: class and you may not be used to that because 295 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: you're the top of a class and something else. But 296 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: if you're willing to look stupid, and you have to 297 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: be willing to be honest about not knowing what you're 298 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: doing and starting something from scratch, and I think that's 299 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: a really important I guess that kind of makes you 300 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: humility and lack of ego, Like if you have too 301 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: much ego where you don't want to look like a beginner, 302 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: that's going to actually stop you from so much in 303 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: your life, including this. 304 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree because I'm exactly the same. I 305 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 3: hate looking like a newvie at something naturally competitive, right, So, 306 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 3: like everything I do, even this right now, I feel 307 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 3: like fool look like a newvie. But like, yeah, if 308 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: it's a new sport actually, or it's a new you know, 309 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: whatever it is, I'm trying. Yeah, I want to be 310 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 3: the best at it, right. 311 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just think that that I've definitely been 312 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: in that position before, you know, even when I started. 313 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: I would say the thing that I'm the most uncomfortable 314 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: in that I do at the moment is being like 315 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: a female entrepreneur. It's just and what I mean with 316 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: that is like in a business way. I really struggled 317 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: with that narrative. Every time I'll be asked to go 318 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: on panels to talk about the business side of my life, 319 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: I would be like, oh, they picked the wrong person, 320 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Like I really shouldn't be up there. I will struggle 321 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: with that because I'm not the typical like CEO. I'm 322 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: not someone who knows about business and finances in that way. 323 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: But what I realized was if I didn't try it, 324 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm never going to get better at it. And so yeah, 325 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to be probably the worst in the room 326 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: and I probably had the least amount of experience. 327 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: But then you have to think. 328 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: I guess I always go back to like do I 329 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: want to learn or do I want to stunt my growth? 330 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: And I'm actually stunting my own growth by. 331 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: Choosing to do that. 332 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think a lot about this as well, Like 333 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: the it's the arena, right, everyone who's in the audience. 334 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: I think who said I think it was Christian Amority 335 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: or something. He said that the crowd is the gathering 336 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: place of the week. So yeah, pretty much like anyone 337 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: who gets to sit on the side, they get to 338 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: be cynical and they sometimes get to be right. But 339 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: the people in the arena eventually they get to win 340 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: right and they actually. 341 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: Get to play. 342 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 3: That's so fue Yeah, I think it's like being in 343 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: the arena. It's like the worst day in the arena 344 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 3: is still better than the best day in the crowd. 345 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: I also think that's where judgment comes from. 346 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: I was actually just reading I don't know, at least 347 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: with the New York Times article, and that just came 348 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: out as anyway, it was about judgment. They were saying, 349 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: how actually, if you're if you had done the process, 350 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: you will never judge someone else because you understand what 351 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: it takes. But as soon as you're on the outside 352 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: and you're watching in, it is so easy. 353 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: To judge and criticize someone. 354 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: Because you're in your mind, you're like, I could have 355 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: done it, beath, but you haven't even tried. But in 356 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: your mind you are telling yourself because it masks other emotions, 357 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: and it also masks insecurity. It's easier to judge and 358 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: criticize someone having never done what they've done because it 359 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: makes you feel better about yourself. But if you've been 360 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: in it, I know, like when you told me how 361 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: your editing and like doing everything for your content. I've 362 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: done it, so I know how difficult it is, so 363 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: I can truly appreciate your craft. But if you haven't 364 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: been in it, then it's so much easier to just 365 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: stand on the outside and be like, oh, if I 366 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: wanted to, I could, yeah, and I make yourself feel 367 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: good about yourself. 368 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But that's the thing that if they wanted to, 369 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: they actually could, but they just don't want to go 370 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: through that barrier of looking stupid, looking dumb, and. 371 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: Sometimes you might not be able to. 372 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: I think that's the other thing that you also have 373 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: to learn, and this whole thing is sometimes you can 374 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: try something. I tried public speaking. I asked to come 375 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: on stages and speak at events, and I honestly it 376 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: was something I had zero desire to do. I absolutely 377 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: just don't like standing in front of a big crowd. 378 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: I find it really difficult. I love engaging with people 379 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: one on one in like a workshop setting, but standing 380 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: on stage with like five hundred people or whatever in 381 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: front of me I really struggle with. Last year, I 382 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: decided that I was just going to say yes and 383 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: try it out. I did like three or four speaking engagements. 384 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: I did it. 385 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: I worked really hard for like a month trying to 386 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: perfect it. I got on that stage, I did it. 387 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: I got off the stage and I didn't enjoy it. 388 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: And I did it, and I thought, Okay, let me 389 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: do it a few times. I did it three times 390 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: and I was like, actually, I'm not the best at this. 391 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm actually not that great at And so I think 392 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: it's also okay to realize that even if you have 393 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: put in a lot of effort into something, there is 394 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: a possibility that you may not be good at it. 395 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: But it's also okay because otherwise because then you'll find 396 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: something else that. 397 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: You're good at and you wouldn't have known until you tried. Basically, yeah, right, I. 398 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: Would have always wondered. 399 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was talking to my friend about it's 400 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 3: recently actually like how to find your purpose. Let's say 401 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 3: it's a process of like uncovering rather than discovering. So 402 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: like every phase that you go through, Like for example, 403 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 3: I've had like ten businesses in the past, and every 404 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 3: single one was like actually useful for me right now, Yeah, 405 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 3: Like the skills you wouldn't think about are serving me now. 406 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 407 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 3: So it's like a great uncovering. 408 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: It all compounds something. 409 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it all comes together, Like there are so many 410 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: skills that I never thought I would use being a 411 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: nutrition and dietitian. Now, like some of the stuff I learned, 412 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: I was like, this was so unnecessary. And then randomly 413 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: there'll be one conversation where someone's asking me something. I 414 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: was like, I literally learned that when I was doing 415 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: this and I had no idea that they would come 416 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: in handy. So I think every experience is there is 417 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: something to learn if you choose to have the eyes 418 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: to receive it in that way. But you have to 419 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 1: decide that that's how you want to see life. Otherwise 420 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: everything can be like a waste of time. 421 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 3: Right, choose to see, choose to have the eyes to see. Yeah, 422 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: maybe that's powerful. That's a clip that I'm curious about. 423 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 3: How you think about pain, right obviously? Yeah, pain, do 424 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: you think it's a precursor for joy? Like, do you 425 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: think it's necessary? Because if you look at like every 426 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 3: great artist, every great poet, every great athlete, even they 427 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 3: had a process of like transmuting that pain into progress. 428 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 429 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: You know, I've had so many different versions of this 430 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: or like perspectives on this. I remember sitting at a 431 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: table actually randomly with Trevoroa, and he truly was saying 432 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: how much he does not believe that you should be 433 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: you should have to have pain to feel goodness in 434 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: your life, Like, he doesn't think that that duality is necessary. 435 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: And so I've really been thinking about it because he's 436 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: the first person that I've ever heard say that he 437 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: doesn't think that that's necessary because you always hear like, 438 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: turn your pain into. 439 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: Success and your pain into joy. 440 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: I personally think that, and I think there's one one 441 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: part to it is we'll never know because we've all 442 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: had pain. And I do think that sometimes you need 443 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: every single in life there is a duality. There's not 444 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: one thing that isn't whether it's like every single opulence 445 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: that exists in the world where it's fame, money, beauty, 446 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: there is always the opposite effect to it too, So 447 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: you can have success, but you can still be upset, 448 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: like there is nothing that exists that doesn't have a 449 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: negative or what we see as a negative reaction to it. 450 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: And I honestly think that's how I personally think that's 451 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: how the world works. It's like you would not know 452 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: joy if you haven't felt pain, and I do think 453 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: that that's true. I don't necessarily think everybody has to 454 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: have gone through the most traumatic experience to get to 455 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: a place where they have a voice. I think these 456 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: days sometimes that's the case where you think, I remember 457 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: going on a panel and all these people that had 458 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: so much that had happened to them, whether it's in 459 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: their childhood or throughout their life, and I was sitting 460 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 1: there and I was like, I can't just make up 461 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: that I've been through really traumatic times. But there are 462 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: also lots of people who haven't been through extreme times, 463 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: and so you can relate to those people. I don't 464 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: have to be someone who's gone through you know, I 465 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: had quite a nice childhood upbringing, like my parents were wonderful. 466 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that I still can't connect to people 467 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: on a level of pain, because I can have empathy 468 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: for them, and so I do think that there's a 469 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: level of appreciation that comes, unfortunately, only once you've been 470 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: through something bad. 471 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's how our human minds are wired. 472 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: If we were all wired from a young age to 473 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: just feel gratitude, then we won't even think of pain 474 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: as being pain. We think of it as this is 475 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: just part of the journey. This is like something that's 476 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: necessary to take me to another place. But none of 477 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: us really feel like that all the time, and so 478 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: some unfortunately. 479 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 2: I think the human mind is created. 480 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: In a way that, yeah, maybe you do need to 481 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: realize what's negative to appreciate what's positive. 482 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I think the same way. I think that 483 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 3: everything exists on kind of like a pendulum. Right, Yeah, 484 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 3: it's swings specter back and forth. But then don't you 485 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: think then it's also down to your capacity and your 486 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 3: level of consciousness to kind of determine whether an event 487 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 3: is good or bad. And it's because most events, if 488 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 3: you think about it, are kind of neutral. 489 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: I do think it's that, But I also so you know, 490 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: the deeper I've gotten into my spiritual practices, or the 491 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: more I listen to people who have been in the 492 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: spiritual practice for far longer than I have, I really 493 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: just think it's a rewiring of your brain of it's 494 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: not whether it's good or bad. It's seeing it as 495 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: I surrender to whatever it is. And so it's not 496 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: that this is good and this is bad for me. 497 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: It's that whatever is meant for me I surrendered to. 498 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 1: I will try my best in any way possible to 499 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: create a specific outcome. 500 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, good or bad, 501 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: Like who knows? Have you had that story? The good 502 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 2: or bad? Who knows? Yea? 503 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 1: And I just the farmer, And I really I remember 504 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: that story every time I'm like, oh my gosh, why 505 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: did this happen to me? Or this is so horrible? 506 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: How is this happening, like even my grandma being on 507 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: well right now, I was like, how is this happening? 508 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: Like this shouldn't be happening. That's the first thoughts that 509 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: come to your mind. And then I'm like, oh my gosh, 510 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: now I get to spend all this time with her 511 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: that I would have never been able to spend that 512 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: right because I'm prioritizing being around her. 513 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,239 Speaker 2: So yes, the first thought is this is a bad thing. 514 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: If I tell someone my grandma's got cancer, They're going 515 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: to be like, oh my gosh, that's awful. And yeah, 516 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: that's how I felt the beginning. But now I'm like, 517 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how great is the world and how 518 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: great is God? That I get noticed and I get 519 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: time to actually spend with that person. And so I 520 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: think it's the idea of surrender because I think most 521 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: of us like to control our outcomes and saying good 522 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: or bad, I don't know, but I know the world 523 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: and the universe and God is going to do what's 524 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: best for me. But also realizing that from bad can 525 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: come good and from good can come bad. 526 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I was literally about to say that. So, 527 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 3: like every it's like a paradox, right, every positive experience 528 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: that you chase kind of turns into a negative one 529 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: because you're reminded of the things that you don't have exactly, 530 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: But then every negative experience turns into a positive one 531 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 3: eventually they both can't see. So it's that like, and 532 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 3: I think. 533 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: That's a choice, Like you think about something negative happens. 534 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: One person could turn to addiction and another person could 535 00:22:59,520 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: turn to grow. 536 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: How does that choice get made? 537 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,239 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I saw something recently that said, like, the 538 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: best indicator to tell you that you're on this part 539 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: of growth and your like consciousness is rising, is that 540 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 3: you understand it's all a choice. Like, every single thing 541 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 3: is a choice, and that's something. 542 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: You have to really exercise, isn't it. 543 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: I think about even when you when if I've got 544 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: jealous or envious of someone, or if the first thing 545 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: that comes into my mind is a negative thought, how. 546 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: Do you change that? 547 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: Well, it's either you let that thought be or you 548 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: try and follow up with a correcting thought. 549 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 2: And so is that Okay? 550 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: I may if I came in here and I was like, 551 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: oh not that I thought this the same. 552 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: When a million did this. Oh my god, he's so rude. 553 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: It's me creating with like, Okay, how can I make 554 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: this thought more empathetic? Or maybe he did this because 555 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: this isn't this right? 556 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 3: Right? 557 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: So I think there is the ability to rewire, maybe 558 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: not for the initial thought, but definitely for the secondary thought. 559 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. I call that, like I have a process around 560 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 3: that called like multi dimensional thinking. So you don't think 561 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: about it in one level, yeah, trying think about the 562 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 3: second and third order consequences of like that thought and 563 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: whatever else can stem from it, right, Yeah, how has 564 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 3: your definition of nourishment changed like throughout the years? And 565 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 3: that can be like spiritual nourishment, it could be actual 566 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 3: like physical nourishmen. 567 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: I used to link nourishment a lot to you know, 568 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: when you think nourishmen. I used to think of it 569 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: as just being physical body related, but I realized how 570 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: much each of them are so intertwined. And so I've 571 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: noticed for me even when my this is kind of 572 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: done by. 573 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 4: The way, all right, yeah. 574 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 2: That's actually quick, that's right. 575 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 3: It looks exactly there saying that's crazy, does it? 576 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 2: I made this in a while, honestly. Yeah. 577 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: I used to see nourishment is such a physical body 578 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: thing that like when you nourish your body. 579 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 2: Everything else is kind of taken care of. 580 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: And that's like the main thing, because I think at 581 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: that time that was where my whole focus in my 582 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: life was physical body. 583 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 2: And then I just realized how much. 584 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: A synergy there has to be between all three aspects 585 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: of like emotional, physical, and spiritual. And for me, I 586 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: find that as soon as my spiritual nourishment depletes, it 587 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: really impacts every other part, not impacts directly, like it 588 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that my physical body doesn't feel good. It 589 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: reduces my desire to do things that are good for 590 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: my physical body. So when I'm in a lower consciousness 591 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: or a lower like spiritual vibration, I then won't care 592 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: as much about what I'm eating. I won't want to 593 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: nourish my body in a way that I think of 594 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: it as an instrument of God's grace or as an 595 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: instrument of doing good things in my life. And so 596 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: it may not be like, oh, I feel pain in 597 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: my body because I'm not doing this spiritual thing. It 598 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: actually just changes the way that I receive life, and 599 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: therefore don't treat my body in the way that I should, 600 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: don't have conversations that I should be having, like I 601 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: may gossip with you instead of having these visual conversations. 602 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: And in the same way, when I. 603 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: Don't eat right, what you eat literally can change the 604 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: way that your mood is, your energy levels are, which 605 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: means then if I'm not eating right, if I don't 606 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: have the physical energy to actually go for a workout 607 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: or want to run, or want to go out and 608 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: about and socialize with people, then that impacts my emotional 609 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: health and so all of those things. I just think 610 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: there's so much, so many wires that overlap with each one. Yeah, 611 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: that you have, and look, there may be times in 612 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: your life where you're like, I really can't prioritize my 613 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: physical body right now because I'm hustling. Yeah, and I 614 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: maybe have time to do a fifteen minute walk, but 615 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: that's still something. And I think there doesn't have to 616 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: be an equal balance at all times. I think you 617 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: can really be I'm doing this much for my physical body, 618 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: this much for my mentor, and this much for my 619 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: emotional but just know what the repercussions are of that 620 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: and how you can maybe balance it out in six 621 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: months time or in seven months time. 622 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. I think when I had 623 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 3: my episode with the Starhole Bloom. He said the same thing. 624 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 3: He said that it exists things exist on a dimmer 625 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: switch rather than like I take that. Yeah, yeah, so like, yeah, 626 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: maybe this season, when you're hustling, you turn down the 627 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 3: dimmert switch of your physical body, right, like training or something, right. 628 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 629 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. On the idea of balance as well, I'm curious 630 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 3: about what you think, right, because I personally believe that 631 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 3: balance doesn't exist like in the early stages anyway, there 632 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 3: has to be an imbalance to later then create balance. 633 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 634 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 3: Have you found the same thing with like work and 635 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 3: life and everything in general? Balance in what you mean 636 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 3: in balancing all areas of your life. So if you 637 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: want to have a social life, you want to have 638 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: a good career, you want to have your physical health 639 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 3: and mental health and whatever else, it is. 640 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: Equal balance in all of that. Yeah, I don't think so. 641 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: Because a lot, yeah, a lot of people strive for balance, Like, yeah, 642 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 3: they want balance, that's what they're optimizing for. But I 643 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,959 Speaker 3: think that's a trade there's a big trade off. Like 644 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 3: if you want to actually achieve, I think. 645 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: It depends what your goal is at the time. 646 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: So like there can be a balance, but that balance 647 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: is proportionate to what your goal is. So if your 648 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: goal is to build a business, if a goal is 649 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: to build a million dollar business this year, yeah, you 650 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: probably aren't going to see your friends Saturday and sund Friday, 651 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday. I know, you probably can't go out 652 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: and drink on a Friday nighty night, and during the 653 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: weekdays you're probably gonna have to be non existent to them. 654 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: And so if that's your dream, then that balance is 655 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: right for that dream. But like, if your dream is 656 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: I want to create a family and I actually want 657 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: to find a partner, then you should be going out 658 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: on like the balance will be I'm going out on 659 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: dates and I'm socializing as much as I possibly can 660 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: to find my partner, and I'm doing all the right 661 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: things for my health to be able to have a baby. 662 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: And so then the balance is right for that goal. 663 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: And so no, I don't think there's like an equal 664 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 1: balance of anything. I think it's what is the balance 665 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: that's right for the goal I'm trying to achieve. Well, 666 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: theyan like let's just have balance, But like what does 667 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 1: that mean, Because by the way, for me having an 668 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: equal balance of everything, I don't think I would actually. 669 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 2: Thrive in that environment. 670 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: So it's what balance are you thriving And it's like 671 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: an iravader like nothing is the same for each person, 672 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: whether it's what you're eating, whether it's your bodily constitution, 673 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: and so in the same way, balance for each person 674 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: has to be an individual decision and an individual formula. 675 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 3: So's identifying like what season you're in basically as well. Yeah, yeah, 676 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 3: that's powerful. We're on the note of balance, but more 677 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 3: so actually going back to the energy that you create 678 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: for the three part of yourself, the mind, body, spirit. 679 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 3: Your book is good joyful obviously, but and when you 680 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: said you said it in your book when you cook, 681 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 3: the energy or the intention that you're cooking with goes 682 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 3: into the food. But what about the times when you're 683 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 3: not really feeling that, how do you kind of narroge that, well, you're. 684 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: Not feeling like being nice joyful? 685 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it has to be that you're 686 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: feeling outwardly joyful at all moments in time. 687 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: I think it's really difficult to feel that way constantly 688 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: for anyone. 689 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: And I think joy is a fleeting emotion, but I 690 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: think contentment is something that you can actually feel at 691 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: all times, even when things are turbulent, and there's like 692 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: primary emotions, which is like sad, happy, angry, whatever those 693 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: emotions are. And then there's the underlying of that where 694 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: you can still feel the ebbs and flows of the 695 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: ten emotions, but you have an underlying current of gratitude, empathy, 696 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: understanding for others and allowing that to be the constant. 697 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: And how do you build that? Because the turbulent emotions 698 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: are part of human life. You can't ever sit there 699 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: and see someone crying their eyes out and not feel 700 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,719 Speaker 1: sad for them, like that's impossible. Or you can't have 701 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: someone passing away in your life and feel like, oh 702 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: it's fine, it's just you know, a part and part 703 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: out of how things go, no matter how spiritual you are. 704 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: And so I think, of course there are times where 705 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: I'm literally like, I cry my eyes out a lot. 706 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: To be honest, I have a weekly cry. I'm not 707 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 2: gonna lie. 708 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: It's my podcast. That's why I call it that, because 709 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: I do have. I'm extremely emotional. I go through ebbs 710 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: and flow of emotions a lot, but each emotion I 711 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: can tie back to gratitude and empathy and tolerance, and 712 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: if I focus on those underlying emotions and qualities and 713 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: how to build those. Then those emotion has become easier 714 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: to handle. 715 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: Does that make sense? 716 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense. I know, I actually 717 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 3: had it put that. 718 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 2: Actually haven't said it in that way. 719 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 3: So you said you spoke on a panel, right, And 720 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 3: I'm also about your business side. I think that's not 721 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: the side that people really hear about it, I know, 722 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 3: but I think I think they should hear that because 723 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 3: there's a lot to you obviously, so being a newbie 724 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 3: less style, Like would you put it, consider yourself a 725 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 3: newbie in business? 726 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 2: You know what? 727 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: I probably would, but people probably wouldn't say, I am. 728 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 3: But yeah, But what kind of lessons have you learned 729 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 3: specifically from business that you know you didn't expect going 730 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 3: into it. 731 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: That you don't have to be like a typical CEO, 732 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: girl boss vive when you're running a business, right, and 733 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: that it's okay to not want to be like I 734 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: love the creative part of what I do, Like I 735 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: have obviously a tea company, and in that from everything 736 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: from the visuals to what goes into the drinks to 737 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: making sure that there's the right amount and quantities of 738 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: the adaptagens that I want in that drink and basically 739 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: everything that I know that I have a passion for 740 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: and I am an expert in and can actually contribute 741 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: in a positive way. I'm happy that being my skill set. 742 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: When I decided, I was like, should I actually be 743 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: like taking on a CEO role in this company? I 744 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: was like, is my energy better spent trying to master 745 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: becoming a CEO or is my energy better spent on 746 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: the quality of this drink, what's actually going to help 747 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: it sell and the parts that. 748 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: I can do. 749 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: And so luckily, obviously I'm grateful that I had a 750 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: team that I could hire to do those things. Should 751 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: I learn about those things, I did learn about them. 752 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: I did think if I had to do this, would 753 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: I be able to do it? But I think playing 754 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: to your strengths and not trying to be someone that 755 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: doesn't fit necessarily into your personality or the things that 756 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: you'd enjoy doing every single day is really important and 757 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: being realistic about it. So when I got on Panels 758 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: and there's CEOs and people who are actually doing those things, 759 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: I just share what I know from the part of 760 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: the business that I am part of, versus trying to 761 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: sit in a seat that's not actually built for me 762 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: and that I haven't earned. 763 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 3: I think that's really powerful because a lot of founders, 764 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: or first time founders especially, they want to play the role, 765 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 3: but they don't understand that sometimes it's not to their 766 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 3: strength and they don't identify their actual strengths. Like for 767 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 3: me as well, and I'm the same. I don't really 768 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 3: like the more analytical side of business. Yeah, I have 769 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 3: to do it, I know how to do it. Yeah, 770 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 3: But like I thrive more on the creative side, like 771 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 3: things like this, right. So yeah, I think that's powerful 772 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 3: that you've transcended that kind of I think it's a 773 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: bit of an ego track. 774 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 2: Actually, I think it is too. 775 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: And I'll be honest though, when it comes to content creation, 776 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: I started off doing everything myself, from editing to filming 777 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: to you know, working with every single person that I 778 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: needed to to make what I needed to get done done. 779 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: And that is a beautiful place to be in whether 780 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: I had, like I didn't have the money opportunity to 781 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: even do that if I wanted to outsource it to anyone. Yeah, yeah, 782 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: but I think that is important. There's one thing about 783 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: being able to out and having the means and the 784 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: ability to do that. But had I not done all 785 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: of this, I would have been taken for a ride 786 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: most of the time, because I now know if I 787 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: need to do what I can. But also I know 788 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: what to expect from people because I'm like, oh, but 789 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: I've done all of this by myself, so I know 790 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: what to expect from if I have a social media manager. 791 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: I know what to expect if have a videographer or 792 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: an editor. And so I think there's one thing about 793 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: leaning into your strengths, but also knowing every part of 794 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: your business, because if you own something, you need to 795 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: know how to create every part of it, or at 796 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: least have an understanding of it. 797 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's true because most people, like you said, 798 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 3: get taken for a ride. I mean, I know I did, 799 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 3: like in the early days when I was hiring out 800 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 3: the stuff that I didn't actually want to learn totally. 801 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: And yeah, just feel more empowered that way, and then 802 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: you're constantly in It's better to be in the know 803 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: about something rather than giving your power. I would say 804 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: as giving my power away. I'm like, what parts of 805 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: my life am I comfortable giving my power away in? 806 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 2: And what parts of my life? Am I not comfortable 807 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: doing that? 808 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: And I think you can't keep all your power because 809 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: there's a balance between growth and keeping your power. But 810 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 1: I think in certain areas you have to be able 811 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: to give it away but still have. 812 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 2: An eye on it. To blend this. 813 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 3: Now, let's do it. Oh yeah. When you create though, 814 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 3: when you're creating, whether it's food, whether it's setting off, yeah, 815 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 3: there's plenty. That's when you're creating food, creating content, starting 816 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 3: a business, Who are you creating for? 817 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: Like, that's a really good question, And if I'm completely honest, 818 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: sometimes it's for brands I'm that I'm working for. And 819 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: sometimes I get lost in creating for the algorithm and 820 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: then it doesn't make me happy and then I come 821 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: back to myself. And so I feel like there's a 822 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: big cycle that I go through of Okay, yeah, I 823 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: to put out free content, I do have to work 824 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: with brands to be able to pay for it, which 825 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people also don't see how much money 826 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: goes into creating content too, and so and I do 827 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: enjoy working with brands as well. 828 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 2: I think there are some really great ones out there. 829 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: But I have to say that whenever I end up 830 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: going back to there's always a point I go through 831 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: these ebbs and flows throughout the year where I'm like, 832 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't even enjoy making content anymore. 833 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 2: I realize why it is. 834 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: It's because I'm not making stuff that actually makes me 835 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: feel like I'm contributing. And so what I've learned is 836 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 1: I have to Now now I have a good balance 837 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: of like, this is the stuff I think I should 838 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: be doing, this is the stuff I want to do, 839 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: and this is the stuff that's purely for to give 840 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: out to people. 841 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 2: As whether it does well or not, I don't care. 842 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: And having that balance has been really important for my 843 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: ability to keep creating and not feeling like I'm just 844 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,399 Speaker 1: on this yeah. 845 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I think I was lucky very early on 846 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 3: to learn to just create for an audience of one, 847 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 3: which is yourself, right, yeah, because yeah, otherwise you get 848 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 3: trapped by your audience expectations. You know, like, if something 849 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 3: takes off you, I say, then people who follow you 850 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 3: from that are expecting more similar content to that. That 851 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 3: thing that took off might not be what you actually 852 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 3: wanted to create, but. 853 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: I do you think it's for you know, I totally 854 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: used to be like that, where I was like, I 855 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: think it's it has to be for me when you 856 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: think about it, You're creating so an audio and. 857 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 2: Sees it, and so it has to be. 858 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: It's also someone I don't know who said this name 859 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: I have been Jay, and he was like, it's all 860 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: good and well, if you want to create content for you, 861 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: and that's fine, but actually, when you think about service, 862 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: if you're doing it as a point of serving others, 863 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: then there has to be consideration of other people. 864 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 3: That's true. 865 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: And so I think sometimes we're like, oh, create content 866 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: for yourself, and I'm saying this from a personal experience 867 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: where I used to feel that way, and then I'm like, no, 868 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: but that's not service. Then that's still selfish service. So 869 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: how can I create a balance of serving what my 870 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: needs are? But at the same time, if I'm trying 871 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: to create a community, I can't create for myself while 872 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: trying to create a community. That's very true, and so 873 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: I think that's why there has to be this balance 874 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: of yeah, I am creating for myself, but also I 875 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: am going to do what the people in the community 876 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: want me to do too, because without community, there's also 877 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: it's difficult creating without having someone to receive it. 878 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, great point, that's true. But then when it comes 879 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 3: to actually ties in perfectly with detachment right from business 880 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 3: and results from how many people have seen your staff 881 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 3: or what not, how do you sort of balance that 882 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 3: because sometimes we're not balance probably the wrong word, but 883 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 3: how do you navigate that? 884 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? 885 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,760 Speaker 1: I honestly still find it really difficult, Like when things 886 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: that I really want to do, I'll give you an example. 887 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,760 Speaker 1: The content I love making the most is food content. 888 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: It is like if I would make food content all day, 889 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: every day if I could, but my audience tend to 890 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: prefer health hacks, wellness, skin care, hair care, spiritual conversations, 891 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: and so yes, I'm sure I would find the audience 892 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: that would want to watch food all day. And so 893 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: I think there has to be this feeling of I've 894 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: detached for when I make. When I do do food content, 895 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you know what this. I know, I 896 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: know this is for me, and so whether it does 897 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: or it doesn't do well, I kind of have to 898 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: be okay with the with the because the information is 899 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: out there for me to know what they're going to 900 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: like if I'm choosing to put things out that I 901 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: know I'm going to do as well, but it makes 902 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: me happy creating it. Then I have to also know 903 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: that ye're fine. It probably won't go viral, it probably 904 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: won't get me growth in that way, but it'll probably 905 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: gets me growth yeah my way. Yeah, but it's really 906 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: hard to detach from it, especially where the whole world 907 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: is based around result in some way. 908 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. I think I just heard Jordan Peterson 909 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 3: talk about this that good is directly tied to goal. 910 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 3: You can't have good without a goal. Yeah, and yeah, 911 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 3: I think it's true. I think because I try to 912 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 3: operate from detachment. Obviously with everything I do once I 913 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 3: put it out there, or like even in my old businesses, 914 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 3: i'd never kind of set an expectation because obviously expectation 915 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 3: is the mother of all disappointment and whatnot. But then 916 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 3: on some level you do have to have, like an 917 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 3: old star, something that you're aiming towards. So it's like 918 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 3: finding that middle ground is tough. 919 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: And I think it's more detachment. I think the detachment 920 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: that's being spoken about is detachment from your own worth. 921 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: But if you have a business goal, like let's say 922 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 1: you are trying to grow your following. Yeah, if you 923 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: are trying to do that, then, of course goals come 924 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: with expectations, and they do come with attachment because you 925 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: care about something. When you care about something, there's attachment 926 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 1: to something, and so when you have a goal, you 927 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: can be attached to it to get growth in a 928 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,240 Speaker 1: specific area. But as long as that attachment isn't linked 929 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 1: to you. So it's like, Okay, I know, I want 930 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: a really good cry to hit. I don't know what 931 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: is that like. Let's say I'm like, okay, bye, I 932 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: tell my team I want to hit one hundred k 933 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: followers by this point of time. But also I want 934 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: to have an engaged community. I want to have really 935 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: good feedback. I want this, this, and this. I have 936 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 1: these goals. 937 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 938 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: For me, that goal is linked to my business. It's 939 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: not linked to them liking me. I'm not seeing as 940 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: a direct hit if they say they don't like a 941 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: really good cry or what I'm speaking about as me 942 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: being a bad person, or that they think I'm not 943 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: good at what I do. So I think there's attachment 944 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: to your goals, but that attachment not being in an 945 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: attachment to who you are and the worth that you have. 946 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, detaching your self worth from your productivity even yeah, 947 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 3: or from your results. Yeah, absolutely. I think in business 948 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 3: as well, that's very hard to do because they're both links. 949 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the life style to take it personally. 950 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, everything literally. I kind of think that serves me 951 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 3: sometimes though definitely, because it depends what kind of mindset 952 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 3: or frame you operate from. Like I don't know if 953 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 3: you've seen The Last Chance Michael Jordan's documentary. 954 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:14,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was so good. 955 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 3: Like, I think I more lean towards that, where it's like, okay, yeah, 956 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 3: if something negative happens, then I can like spin that 957 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 3: into something like into fuel. But yeah, that's just my 958 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:27,280 Speaker 3: frame of operating. 959 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: No, And I think that's such a again, I think 960 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: it's such a personal way of dealing with things. 961 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 3: All right, let's eat. It's really good. It's exactly the 962 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 3: same as the as the book, which is crazy, and 963 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 3: that mine never seems to come out that way. I 964 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 3: don't know why I want to talk more about the 965 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 3: iovadic and holistic well being because that's what's what you're 966 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 3: all about pretty much. But firstly, starting with intention intentionally 967 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 3: consuming things. Right, So obviously we're intentionally consuming this, but 968 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 3: how are you choosing, like, aside from your physical diet, 969 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 3: what are you choosing to consume like mentally as well? 970 00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 3: And how do you feel to that? 971 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have done that in so many different ways 972 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: because I noticed how much different things were affecting me. 973 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: So the first thing I remember doing it with was 974 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: what I was watching. And so I remember when I 975 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: made a decision to go to the temple that was 976 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: close by when I started my meditation practice. I decided 977 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: that every morning I wanted to go there for the 978 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: four point thirty prayers and meditate there with the monks 979 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: till like before work. And what I noticed was the 980 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: moment I got to my front door because obviously it 981 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: was dark outside, I got to my front door to 982 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: leave the house, and I was so scared to leave 983 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: because of all the thoughts that were coming into my 984 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: mind from movies of like when you walk out of 985 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: your door at night, yeah, as a woman, like what 986 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: could happen to you? And so I stopped watching scary movies, 987 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: things that created like high anxiety in me, and things 988 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: that just had too much like stimulation that was unnecessary. 989 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: And so literally, within three months of doing that, my 990 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: like my anxiety levels was so much lower. Because of that, 991 00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 1: getting out of the door wasn't an issue. My mom 992 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: was thinking of the craziest things that could possibly happen 993 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: based on what I've seen in movies. 994 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 2: So when I did that, I noticed what an impact 995 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:06,919 Speaker 2: it had. 996 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 1: I thought about all the other things, and so really 997 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: it's every single thing that you let into a sensus. 998 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: So from what you're seeing, what you're hearing, what you're tasting, smelling, 999 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: but you're smelling like every single thing curating that and look, 1000 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: you can't curate it completely, but you can balance it. 1001 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: So I know that if three times a week I'm 1002 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 1: going to a loud, noisy nightclub and staying out late, 1003 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: I also know that in the morning when meditation is 1004 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: going to be thinking of the loud, noisy music I 1005 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: was listening to the night before, And it really does. 1006 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: There's one thing about how it affects you physically and mentally, 1007 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: but there's definitely an energetic frequency thing that happens when 1008 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: you enter specific environments. And there's such a difference when 1009 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: you walk into a room full of people meditating to 1010 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: if you're walking into a club of people intoxicated whatever. 1011 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: And so I started noticing the energetic differences between locations 1012 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: that I was going to, filtering it based on what 1013 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: was my thought the next day, Like I wake up 1014 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: in the morning, am I thinking of the thing I 1015 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: want to be thinking of, which is. 1016 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,280 Speaker 2: Like God and goodness? 1017 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 1: Or am I waking up thinking of like the song 1018 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:14,879 Speaker 1: I heard about asses last night? 1019 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 2: You know, like, so I think it's like really what? 1020 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 3: Oh? 1021 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: No, probably something, but yeah, so I think I started 1022 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: noticing what are the thoughts in between the things I'm doing? 1023 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 3: Yea? 1024 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: And based on the thoughts that were in between the 1025 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 1: things that I was doing, where have those thoughts come from? 1026 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 2: Was it from Love Island that I was watching last night? 1027 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,799 Speaker 1: Was it from the thing the monk said yesterday morning 1028 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: when I was listening to it. Is it from a 1029 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: conversation I had with a friend? Because that's allowing things 1030 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: into my ear, like what are all those things and 1031 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: how is it affecting those thoughts in between? 1032 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 3: That's really powerful because I have a similar process of 1033 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 3: finding your triggers, right. Basically, there's a process of going 1034 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 3: through and kind of backtracking through your emotions or like 1035 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 3: how you were thinking, and then finding the trigger points 1036 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 3: of what actually initiated that Sleepings of thoughts, and once 1037 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 3: you find the triggers, then it's easier to recognize the 1038 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 3: next time, right, because like if you find your patterns, 1039 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 3: then you know then you can change them. Yeah, And 1040 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 3: like I said with the frequency thing, I think we 1041 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,720 Speaker 3: are like programmable by nature and we can't. Everyone says, 1042 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 3: actually transcend your programming, but I don't actually believe that. 1043 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 3: I'm curious to get your thoughts. I think you could 1044 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 3: choose your programming. Yeah, but you can't really transcend it. 1045 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's unless you're like the most 1046 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: enlightened human being. I just don't think that we are 1047 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: wired to not be programmed. I think we are creatures 1048 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 1: of habit I think we're creatures of assimilation into Like 1049 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 1: everything around us does affect our our exten environment does 1050 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: affect our intel environment, even if it's the weather. Like 1051 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: there's so much science that says that you know, people's mood, 1052 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: people's energy levels, so many things are affected just by 1053 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: the weather changing. 1054 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 2: So if it's just by the weather changing, imagine. 1055 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: How much it's changed by If I walk into a 1056 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: room and energetically you're feeling low or you're angry, I'm 1057 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: going to feel that straight away. 1058 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 2: Whether I'm aware of it or not. I've become a 1059 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 2: lot more aware. 1060 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: Of those things, even when it comes to people on 1061 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 1: my team or the people I'm around all the time. 1062 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 2: It's like, if I'm at. 1063 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: The end of the day feeling energetically drained, not physically, 1064 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: but energetically, why am I not around people that. Yes, 1065 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: of course they're going to take from me, but I 1066 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: also should be getting nourishment back in some way. And 1067 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: if I'm coming up coming into the office at level 1068 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,360 Speaker 1: hundred and I'm trying to give as much energy as 1069 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: possibly can and someone's at twenty, I'm going down to 1070 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: a fifty. Yeah, because there's only so much I can 1071 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: keep to this frequency if I'm not being given that 1072 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: at the same time. And so maybe I need to 1073 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: look into it more or experience it more, but or 1074 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: maybe I'm just an amateur in it. But I don't 1075 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 1: think you can transcend your programming. I think you can 1076 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: elevate it. I think you can change it. I think 1077 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 1: you can change all your neural pathways and all the habits. 1078 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 2: And stuff that you do. But I don't know whether 1079 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 2: the point is to transcend it. 1080 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think we are actually supposed to transcend it. 1081 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 3: So one of the things that you showed me, I 1082 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 3: think not on purpose, though I think it was indirectly, 1083 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 3: was like this idea of perception. Right, you invited me 1084 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 3: to Jay show that he did live, and then afterwards 1085 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,720 Speaker 3: there was this whole It was a whole new experience 1086 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 3: for me because obviously I'm watching as a creator as well, 1087 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,919 Speaker 3: not just as a as an audience member or a fan, 1088 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 3: but also as a creator, and this whole thing of 1089 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 3: like reality, perception is reality, And what I observe obviously 1090 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 3: from that night was one how you are interacting with 1091 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 3: people and how people perceive you versus how you perceive them, right, 1092 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 3: because they don't you don't particularly know them, but they 1093 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 3: know you because you've been on their phone or their 1094 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 3: YouTube video or whatever. How have you like kind of 1095 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,439 Speaker 3: been navigating that recently because you gave me a gem, 1096 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 3: which I'll tell you afterwards. 1097 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: I think the more comfortable I feel in my own skin, 1098 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: the more comfortable I feel with I am, with what 1099 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm doing, and that comes with alignment of like worst 1100 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: source and actions being in alignment. As much as I 1101 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: can do that, the more I'm okay being seen, if. 1102 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 2: That makes sense. In whatever way I'm seeing. 1103 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: And so I used to find it really difficult because 1104 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm actually naturally when I meet people for the first 1105 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 1: time or if I'm in a well more in a 1106 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 1: crowded environment, I'm a social introvert, but one on one, 1107 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 1: I'm like extremely extroverted, and so when I would be 1108 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: surrounded by people, I would find it really difficult to 1109 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: give the energy that they see mean having that is 1110 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: my natural way to be. 1111 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 2: And then I realized I had to learn to like recycle. 1112 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 2: That was just at the. 1113 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: Point think about it all the time because I'm like, 1114 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: this person has poured into me so much as of 1115 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: being part of the community. I want them to have 1116 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 1: that exact experience, and it's unfair for me to have 1117 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: my insecurities my walls up when all I've been asking 1118 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: of them is to have a connection with me. 1119 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 2: And so what I've learned. 1120 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 1: To do is literally, like a battery, absorb their energy 1121 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: of excitement and pour it back into them in that moment, 1122 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 1: even if I struggle with. 1123 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 2: It at the time. 1124 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: It's like a habit that I've had to create because 1125 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: I think they really deserve it, and I think it's 1126 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: unfair to have the expectation of someone to follow what 1127 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 1: you do and be part of your community and maybe 1128 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: buy the things that you're sharing, and then when you 1129 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,280 Speaker 1: meet them in person, you're like, sorry, who are you? 1130 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: Like? That's so disrespectful and so yeah, yeah, I agree. 1131 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 3: And I think there's there's this idea of I don't 1132 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 3: know if you've heard of it, but it's called a panopticon. 1133 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 3: No so I spoke about in a previous episode. Right, 1134 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,399 Speaker 3: but it's like it's way a prison is built and 1135 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 3: the guard is in the central tower and he shines 1136 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 3: the light around to all the prisoners, but prisoners can't 1137 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 3: see when the light is being frying, so it feels 1138 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 3: like they're always being watched. Right, do you feel that 1139 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 3: way or like when you know? But to be honest, 1140 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 3: you just answer that if you're acting in alignment in 1141 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 3: private the same way as you in public, then you're 1142 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 3: not really scared of the light being on you. 1143 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a good point. I definitely feel that 1144 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 2: way back. 1145 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 1: I also think that's why I find it so important 1146 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: to interact with people beyond oh hey you want to 1147 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 1: take a picture, Yeah, let's take a picture. And I 1148 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: really this is for myself, not even for them to 1149 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 1: have a point of interaction, not just me voicing myself, 1150 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 1: to have moments where I can actually connect with people, 1151 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: because otherwise you do end up either feeling like the 1152 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: Queen of the castle or the light guard or like 1153 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: prisoner guard, or you end up feeling so disconnected that 1154 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: you've created a personality that isn't even you. And so 1155 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,479 Speaker 1: actually I prefer those moments where I'm able to meet 1156 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: people and spend time with them and create communities so 1157 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like I'm so far removed for myself, 1158 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 1: for my own ego too. It's so much better that 1159 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: way because then also breaking that narrative, because some people 1160 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 1: have a completely different narrative of who you are. They're 1161 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,319 Speaker 1: receiving it so differently. And so an example would be 1162 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 1: if people are used to seeing me as someone who meditates, 1163 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: they struggle. If I go to a place like Aura, which. 1164 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 2: Is like. 1165 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 1: They struggle if I go to a place which is 1166 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: you know, a couple, or if they see me at 1167 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 1: like a burna boy concept, they're like, what It's just 1168 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: it's so different for them to like, I've experienced this 1169 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: version of this person. But then does that mean this 1170 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: version was a lie? And they're actually this person. So 1171 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,760 Speaker 1: what I try to do is I tried to literally 1172 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 1: be really open about all the things that I do, 1173 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: but that also confuses people. So if I got a 1174 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I keep saying burner Boy 1175 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,359 Speaker 1: because I really want to go to this concert again. 1176 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: But if I put up a Burner Boy song behind 1177 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 1: me and they're like, I haven't even thought you listened 1178 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: to that type of music, I'm like, I grew up 1179 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 1: listening to that music. But for them it's like, oh, 1180 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: but I literally just heard your meditation a week ago, 1181 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: and it just they've created so from one part of 1182 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,399 Speaker 1: my life that they see, they will create a whole 1183 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: narrative of who I am, and so that sometimes is 1184 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 1: fractured when they experience a different version of me or 1185 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 1: another part of it. I won't say different version, another 1186 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 1: part of me that was unexpected, and so I think 1187 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 1: the best way and that's what I see happen with 1188 00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 1: a lot of people who obviously have like way more 1189 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 1: people that are invested in their life than me, where 1190 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 1: they see someone be this and they're like, oh, I 1191 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 1: thought that this is this is a narrative I've created 1192 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 1: of them, and then they see them do something else 1193 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 1: in the public where they're like, oh, that wasn't what 1194 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,319 Speaker 1: I was expecting of them. Now they're canceled, And so 1195 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: I think it's sharing. Even if it's creating. I actually 1196 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 1: prefer it because then it breaks down any kind of 1197 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 1: like oh that's creating you. 1198 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think being trapped in a box or yeah, 1199 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,879 Speaker 3: trying not to put yourself in a box, like get 1200 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,959 Speaker 3: you're a spiritual person but not being in the spiritual box, 1201 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 3: or you're the business guy not being in the business box. 1202 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,320 Speaker 3: At the same time, you can be in everything. 1203 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 2: Right, I think for a lot of women. 1204 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,280 Speaker 1: Also his physical appearance, Like I remember my friend actually 1205 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: know her. She literally was like to me, I can't 1206 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 1: believe you just like wake up and you go straight 1207 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: on Insta. I'm like, you literally don't makeup on you 1208 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: don't do anything like you literally show up sometimes really. 1209 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 2: Rough and I'm like, you know, really rough. Yeah, And 1210 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 2: I was, And I was. 1211 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: Thinking about that because at the time I was like offended, 1212 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,320 Speaker 1: But then I realized I actually wasn't offended because I 1213 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: have consciously had to do that and not put filters 1214 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 1: when I've got like a spot on my face and 1215 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 1: not do all those things, because I'd rather someone see 1216 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 1: me in person and be like, oh my gosh, she's 1217 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 1: way putting in person or way nicer in person then 1218 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: she is online. 1219 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 2: Then have the opposite experience. 1220 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 1: And when you create this image of who you are online, 1221 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: it becomes so consuming of like, oh my gosh, I 1222 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: have to look like this, I have to act like this, 1223 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 1: I have to be this person, and then you forget 1224 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 1: who you actually are or who to be when you 1225 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: actually meet people, which creates so much social anxiety. So 1226 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,920 Speaker 1: then you can't even be the person you want to 1227 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 1: be because you're thinking about how are they perceiving me? 1228 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 2: And am I that person? Versus just being yes. 1229 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 3: Like your caricature, you creative yourself, and then you have 1230 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 3: to yeah, and then. 1231 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 1: You have to think, am I acting in that way 1232 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,799 Speaker 1: that they're perceiving? Whereas if you're just being online and 1233 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 1: you're just being in person, then you don't have to 1234 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,360 Speaker 1: have that. Then there's less barriers in between you and 1235 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: that person of like the fake version of you or 1236 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 1: the person you think they want to receive. 1237 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 3: Another germ you gave me, I think I don't think 1238 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,600 Speaker 3: you realized it though when you said it, because you 1239 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 3: said it as a part in comment. 1240 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 2: Right. 1241 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 3: It was like when I was first getting started online 1242 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 3: and stuff, I think you said, oh, by the way, 1243 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 3: now that you're choosing to put yourself out there, you 1244 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 3: can't control the perception that you're going to have. Well, 1245 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 3: like other people are going to have with you. Yeah, 1246 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 3: they've got their own set of filters and you know. 1247 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 3: And then we just carried on whatever we were doing, 1248 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,280 Speaker 3: playing or something, and I thought that was like crazy powerful, 1249 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,959 Speaker 3: because I'm if you're in business, you try to control everything. Yeah, 1250 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 3: and me going from there to that, I'm trying to 1251 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,120 Speaker 3: control perception. But it only finally hit like a year ago. 1252 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 3: I think I let go of the fear of being 1253 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 3: seen or whatever and also perception. Yeah. 1254 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:40,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to think it was so unfair. When 1255 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 2: i'd read a comment, I'd be like, they. 1256 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: Don't understand what I'm saying, or they've misunderstood who I am, 1257 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: or why do they not think I'm a nice person, 1258 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,400 Speaker 1: because you always want they want to think you're a 1259 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 1: nice person. 1260 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1261 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I remember every. 1262 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 1: Time I was complaining, complaining, complaining, and I was like, oh, yeah. 1263 00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 2: If you were I think what I might have said 1264 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 2: is if you're choosing to be seen. You can't choose 1265 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 2: how people see you. 1266 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: That's right, yeah, and it is because if you don't 1267 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: want to be seen, just don't be seen. But at 1268 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:08,840 Speaker 1: the end of the day, if you're choosing to be 1269 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 1: in someone's vision and you're choosing to put yourself out 1270 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 1: there in that way, there's no way you can control. 1271 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 1: You can't control how your own family see you. How 1272 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: you're going to control how a million, two million, whatever, 1273 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 1: how many people see you. It's just impossible because they're received. 1274 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 1: You can tell two people the exact same thing. Someone 1275 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: can tell me and you the exact same thing. I 1276 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: have received in a completely different way to the way 1277 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 1: you have, based on my ind securities, based on what 1278 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,919 Speaker 1: I've experienced, based on how I'm choosing to see the world. 1279 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 1: And there's too many filters to even try and fix 1280 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 1: all of them, right, not even fix to try and 1281 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: help them see how you want them to see you. 1282 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 3: Then do you think there are any objective truths that 1283 00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 3: you don't beat all filters? 1284 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 2: Authenticity? And by the way, what I mean by that is, 1285 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 2: every time I'm. 1286 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 1: Around rather Naswami, he's one of my spiritual teachers, I 1287 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 1: notice how and it comes back to this idea of 1288 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 1: people receiving based on where they're at in life. Some 1289 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: people will meet him and he's very present but also 1290 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: will not waste words, So he will sit there and 1291 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:14,440 Speaker 1: he'll just be like, and they'll look at you in 1292 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 1: the eye and they'll be like And for a lot of. 1293 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 2: People, they do not want to be seen in that way. 1294 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: They are so uncomfortable by his comfort of just being there, 1295 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 1: Like he's so present and he's so comfortable in his 1296 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 1: own skin and so comfortable in himself and comfortable soul 1297 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: to soul that he's not even seeing what else is happening. 1298 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,319 Speaker 1: But for that person, if they're not ready to be 1299 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: seen like that, they are like, oh, that was so uncomfortable, 1300 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,799 Speaker 1: so intense. And other people are like, I've never been 1301 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 1: seen that way and it was amazing. And so you 1302 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,840 Speaker 1: can church show up as you and someone will absolutely 1303 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 1: hate you based on what they like and dislike, and 1304 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,840 Speaker 1: someone will absolutely love you. And that's even at a 1305 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 1: spiritual teacher level, who is so such a beautiful embodiment 1306 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: of what a human should be like. And even then 1307 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: people's poots will be like, oh, I need to keep 1308 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:02,720 Speaker 1: that at a distance. 1309 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 2: Because I'm not ready for it. 1310 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so if you feel like you're showing up as 1311 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: the person you want to be, then the way people 1312 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,239 Speaker 1: receive you. I get most angry at myself when I 1313 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:13,799 Speaker 1: don't show up in the way I want to. Right 1314 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: then I'm actually even sader because I'm like, not only 1315 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 1: have I not shown up as myself. 1316 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 2: They also hate me now, so now both of us 1317 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 2: are losing. 1318 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. There really interesting thing I read right from Plato, 1319 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 3: who's like one of the old philosophers. He said, two 1320 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,040 Speaker 3: hundred years before this event actually happened, that if the 1321 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 3: perfect man was to come into the world, then he 1322 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 3: would be crucified and that was like one seventy eighty 1323 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 3: or whatever you want to call it. And yeah, I 1324 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 3: think I've learned from that. You can't try and satisfy 1325 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,920 Speaker 3: people in a world where someone like that would be 1326 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 3: fruit crucified. 1327 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 2: No way. 1328 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got over the fear of I guess perception. 1329 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 3: And the more I did it as well, I think 1330 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 3: the more reps that I did, I think uncovers everything 1331 00:57:59,280 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 3: that you need to know. 1332 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 1: And so many lessons to be learned from great people 1333 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 1: like Jesus, where even his friends betrayed it like there's 1334 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: so many Actually learning from people who have been exemplary 1335 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: in those situations, I think that can really help. And 1336 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: obviously none of us are Jesus out here, but learning 1337 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 1: from people who you see receiving and carrying the discomfort 1338 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:28,640 Speaker 1: of being criticized and judged gracefully is like such a 1339 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 1: beautiful way to remind yourself that it can be done. 1340 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: And so following that rather than the people that you're 1341 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: seeing actually not handling it that great, which is what 1342 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 1: we usually see because it's difficult to receive, but finding 1343 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 1: those people where you're like, oh, actually, these people took 1344 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: it with so much grace, Like they literally have still 1345 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,919 Speaker 1: continue doing what they're supposed to be doing, still stayed 1346 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 1: in their power, still stayed in their truth, still carried 1347 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 1: on with their purpose, even when they were going to 1348 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 1: be crucified. Like it's just it's insane to think about, 1349 00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 1: and then it puts everything else into perspective. 1350 00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 2: You're like, Okay, they don't like my hair. 1351 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 3: Col yeah literally, yah, yeah. Well on the topic of 1352 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 3: obviously I don't know what's the Jesus, but attaining you know, 1353 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 3: christ consciousness, Christian consciousness, whatever you want to call it, 1354 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 3: the copy of the Githa that you gave me was 1355 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 3: by far one of the best I've read. Yeah, what 1356 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 3: are some of the lessons that you think have stuck 1357 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,919 Speaker 3: out for you? I've got so many that just come 1358 00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 3: to mind, and you know, it is the one of 1359 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 3: them books that you open out a random page. 1360 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 2: Every day something different. Yea. 1361 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 1: Honestly, one of the biggest things that was a change 1362 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: in perspective, maybe not the greatest lesson, but helped me 1363 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 1: navigate the world better was thinking about the fact that 1364 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:33,120 Speaker 1: my soul has. 1365 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 2: Lived so many lifetimes. 1366 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: And the reason is because I think, you know, a 1367 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 1: lot of people would say, oh, you know, like Yolo, 1368 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 1: you only live once, and it's like, okay, cool, there's 1369 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,960 Speaker 1: everything you possibly want to do. But actually, what I 1370 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: really appreciate is the idea that my soul has already 1371 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 1: been through so much and actually so many of the 1372 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 1: things that I am right now are actually a result 1373 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 1: of things that have been that I don't understand. And 1374 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,080 Speaker 1: so instead of trying to understand every single thing about 1375 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: why I'm doing what I'm doing, why I get scared 1376 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: of these things? Why am I You know, you can 1377 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 1: really overanalyze so much of your life but this is 1378 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 1: just such a snapshot, and so one it can give 1379 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 1: perspective on the sense of like, let's not take things 1380 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: too seriously, but also let's stop trying to overanalyze things 1381 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 1: that don't need to be analyzed and that you're not 1382 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 1: going to figure out. You're not going to be able 1383 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 1: to figure out everything, and some of that does come 1384 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 1: from past things that you've been through that you just 1385 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: don't know and you just don't even realize or remember. 1386 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 2: And also think. 1387 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: About the fact that we are like one tiny thing, 1388 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 1: tiny being, not even in one universe. There are so 1389 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: many universes out there and so many things that are 1390 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,919 Speaker 1: unknown to us. And so another thing that has helped 1391 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 1: me think of is why would I not think this 1392 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 1: is possible? Because like, there's so many things that we 1393 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: don't even know in this world that are possible that 1394 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 1: we don't see with our eyes. Then I believe everything 1395 01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 1: is like for me, everything is possible, and that I 1396 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,760 Speaker 1: think when you think it's just you, there's very limited 1397 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 1: as possible because all we know is us as our 1398 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,400 Speaker 1: physical body are the things that we see. 1399 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 2: You don't expect anything else to be real except for 1400 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 2: the things that you can physically touch. 1401 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 1: But as soon as you think it's like you plus God, 1402 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 1: you plus the universe, you plus something that is unlimited, 1403 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: you feel like there's so much more that's possible. So 1404 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,160 Speaker 1: you feel a lot less limited in your abilities because 1405 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, well, with God's grace, I can do 1406 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 1: so much more. 1407 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to think of as co creation basically. 1408 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,920 Speaker 2: Co creation, Yeah, exactly, But it's. 1409 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 3: Just you don't most people group project Yeah, pretty much 1410 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 3: person credit. Yeah, Yeah, it's true. I think like when 1411 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 3: I made that switch as well that it's all co creation. 1412 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:36,919 Speaker 3: I think it gave me a lot more I guess, 1413 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:37,680 Speaker 3: power to draw on. 1414 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and knowing what you have to do to be 1415 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 1: worthy of that power and what does that mean. 1416 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 2: It's like it's like if someone's giving you a baby, 1417 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 2: you need. 1418 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 1: To have the prep done. You need to know how 1419 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 1: you're going to look after that baby. You need to 1420 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 1: be willing to put in the time, the energy, and 1421 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,080 Speaker 1: the effort to look after that child. So the same way, 1422 01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 1: it's like, if I'm going to be giving you power, 1423 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 1: I want to see you've. 1424 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 2: Done the work before I even give it to you. 1425 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: Right, And so many people think sit there waiting for 1426 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 1: the power to be given to them, or like waiting 1427 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,680 Speaker 1: for that thing to happen, but actually doing the pep 1428 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: work beforehand to show, actually, I'm consistently showing you I 1429 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 1: can receive and I am worthy of this. It's like 1430 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 1: when you want a promotion at work, then just give 1431 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 1: it to you before you've shown you can do it. 1432 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: And so I think it's consistency in integrity and in 1433 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 1: your actions and in your words to show oh, actually, 1434 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 1: now I'm worthy of this power and then it's given 1435 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 1: to you. 1436 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so true. It's like when people talk about opportunity, 1437 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 3: opportunity waiting to arrive for them, Yeah, it never actually 1438 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 3: misses you. You just choose when that opportunity arrives according 1439 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 3: to the prep that you've done or the frequency that 1440 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 3: you're at, whatever you want to call it. 1441 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:41,560 Speaker 2: Right. 1442 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 3: One of the ones that stuck out for me was 1443 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,840 Speaker 3: when Christiana said that you're only entitled to the labor 1444 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 3: and never to the fruits, right, And that made me 1445 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 3: think about, Okay, if I'm only entitled to the labor, 1446 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 3: then what am I doing it for? Like obviously mastery 1447 01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,560 Speaker 3: the mastery of self, spiritual progression, physical progression, but then 1448 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 3: also doing it in service is something higher than you. 1449 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 3: And then I remember you made a post recently or 1450 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,480 Speaker 3: a while ago, like when you were in service of 1451 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 3: I think rather not Swami. You made you realize sometimes 1452 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 3: how many kind of selfish thoughts that you have? Yeah, 1453 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 3: so how often do you are you trying to bring 1454 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 3: that back to the forefront of your mind because obviously 1455 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 3: it's hard, like you think about yourself all the time. 1456 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you ever get rid of those 1457 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 1: thoughts because we're still the physical body. 1458 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:29,959 Speaker 2: You can't pretend like we're not. But I do think 1459 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 2: maybe not get. 1460 01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 3: Rid of, but like become aware of or become aware of. 1461 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 1: It by being present. I guess such a simplified answer, 1462 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,960 Speaker 1: but I realized, I'm the only way you can actually 1463 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 1: become aware of anything is by being with it, and 1464 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,120 Speaker 1: so presence. A lot of people don't realize that presence 1465 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 1: is the answer to so much. And the ability to 1466 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 1: keep coming back to this moment and making sure that 1467 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,400 Speaker 1: you are tuned and locked in is how you have 1468 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: deeper connections, is how you realize what's happening not just 1469 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,440 Speaker 1: in your mental state but your physical body. The amount 1470 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,439 Speaker 1: of people I meet where when I take them through 1471 01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: like a process of connecting with their body where I 1472 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,800 Speaker 1: do this like breastwork thing and I'm like, okay, so 1473 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 1: breathing into your shoulder and they're like, oh my. 1474 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:12,440 Speaker 2: God, I didn't know I had this pain. 1475 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,320 Speaker 1: Like that single moment of breath and presence helps them 1476 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 1: to even realize whether they've had pain in their body 1477 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 1: for years or months or days where they haven't even 1478 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:25,000 Speaker 1: noticed because of such lack of presence. And so I 1479 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 1: actually think loneliness comes from lack of presence. The ability 1480 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,320 Speaker 1: to not concentrate or feel like they've got connection to 1481 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 1: someone comes from lack of presence. Selfish thoughts come from 1482 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,480 Speaker 1: lack of presence because actually, if you're present in the world, 1483 01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 1: there are so many people to care about. 1484 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 2: It's unreal. 1485 01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 1: There are so many things to be doing beyond repeated 1486 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,200 Speaker 1: thoughts of what I should have and what I should 1487 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: be doing and what's been done that's wrong to me. 1488 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:51,640 Speaker 1: So if you're actually present in this world, then you're 1489 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 1: observing there's so much more that there's so much more 1490 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,600 Speaker 1: interesting than what's going on in your head. 1491 01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:57,800 Speaker 2: If you allow there to be. 1492 01:04:58,160 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 3: That's the thing, if you allow it and again comes 1493 01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 3: back so that it's a choice, right, like every synchronicity 1494 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 3: that I experience, whether it's the flamingos or like the 1495 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 3: numbers that she or whatever you want to call it, 1496 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 3: it's always because I've been training like hyper awareness. Yeah, 1497 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 3: and then it's not that I'm seeing things that other 1498 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 3: people aren't, as in that aren't there. No, it's just 1499 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 3: that you know, I'm trying to tune myself to see them. Yeah, 1500 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:19,920 Speaker 3: in a way when. 1501 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 1: You who told me about when you first told me 1502 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 1: about this flamingo thing, I'm not joking. Now every time 1503 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 1: I see flamingo, I send it to you. But what 1504 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 1: that shows is when you become attuned to something or 1505 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,600 Speaker 1: you have a connection of something to someone, even that 1506 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 1: in itself makes you more present. And so imagine you 1507 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 1: were able to teach yourself. 1508 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 2: To do that with different things. 1509 01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 1: So like for flowers, for example, every time I see 1510 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,080 Speaker 1: a flower and I go closer, I'm like, this is 1511 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 1: one of the most magical things that have ever existed 1512 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: on the world, in the world because the intricacies of 1513 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:50,080 Speaker 1: a flower is insane. 1514 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1515 01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but or I could look at it and be like, ah, 1516 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 2: that's a cute flower. 1517 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 1: But like for me, it's like, Wow, the world is 1518 01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,520 Speaker 1: phenomenal every time I look at a flower. But that's 1519 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 1: because I've trained my mind to think that. Every time 1520 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I see the sun, I'm like, oh my gosh, you 1521 01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 1: literally give me energy, give life to every single thing 1522 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,080 Speaker 1: on this earth. Thank you so much. I am just 1523 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 1: constantly ingratitude to the sun. So all that to say, 1524 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,680 Speaker 1: I've through different prayers I've read as well. It's helped 1525 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 1: me to feel so much gratitude for everyday ordinary things. 1526 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 2: So actually, life can never be boring if you choose 1527 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 2: to live that way. 1528 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 1: As soon as I change that mindset, whenever people say 1529 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:27,880 Speaker 1: they're bored, I'm like, what do you mean? 1530 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 3: You're bored? 1531 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,200 Speaker 1: And that to me ten years ago, I would have 1532 01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 1: been like, of course, like I'm bored all the time, 1533 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 1: what do you mean, I want. 1534 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 2: To have stimulation all the time. 1535 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: Of course, boredom exists, But actually boredom exists when you 1536 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,200 Speaker 1: choose not to turn ordinary into something extraordinary, which you 1537 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,840 Speaker 1: have the ability to do every day. And it's simply 1538 01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 1: by thinking, oh, wow, this is actually incredible. That fireplace, 1539 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I wonder how old it is, and 1540 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 1: the artwork on there, I wonder. 1541 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 2: Who drew it. 1542 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: So curiosity is actually something that kills boredom, Wow, and 1543 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 1: kills judgment and kills everything. 1544 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 3: And so interesting paradigm because the way I think of 1545 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,240 Speaker 3: it is the opposite of stimulation is boredom. But maybe 1546 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 3: it's not boredom. 1547 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 2: I don't think it is boredom, Yeah, because I always 1548 01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 2: it's not the same. Yeah. 1549 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, like, and I would say boredom birth curiosity, but 1550 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 3: I guess maybe not in the way that you explained it. 1551 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 3: I think I haven't actually heard it that way. Yeah, 1552 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 3: in those moments I find them, Like when people ask 1553 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,920 Speaker 3: me for advice on how to figure out their next steps, 1554 01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 3: I never can. You can never tell them obviously, but 1555 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 3: you can tell them to carve out time for solitude 1556 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 3: or silence. What role is that, which again is presence? 1557 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, yeah, direct, if you're on direct transmission from 1558 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,760 Speaker 3: the universe or from God, then it's just like be 1559 01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 3: alone in nature. 1560 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1561 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:41,920 Speaker 3: And if you look at every great yogi or stage 1562 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,520 Speaker 3: or profit, they all had this period of isolation. 1563 01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 1: But that's also because like, okay, let's say we're having 1564 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 1: we have times we've had an hour and a half 1565 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 1: to have this conversation. Had we not had this, I 1566 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't have learned this about you, would have learned this 1567 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 1: about me. And so in the same way, we see 1568 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 1: solitude as oh, I'm being with myself, but no, you're not. 1569 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 1: You're tuning in to all the thing thing is that 1570 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: are unheard through the noise that's being created. And so 1571 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: this is like thank you, But yeah, I just think 1572 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 1: that that connection is with the universe, with nature, with 1573 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,439 Speaker 1: God or whoever you want to connect to that's beyond 1574 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 1: what you see is required in solitude because the noise 1575 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 1: is always present. So the only time you can really 1576 01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 1: connect to that is when you're in a moment of peace, 1577 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 1: and then that can filter into everything. Then as soon 1578 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 1: as you start seeing all the little things, every moment 1579 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 1: can feel like little moments of magic or little moments 1580 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 1: of connection. 1581 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 3: Then how do you focus when you're in that kind 1582 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 3: of state. 1583 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 2: It depends what focus means because. 1584 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 3: Centralized energy into one thing, but that. 1585 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 1: All feeds that in my opinion, like me being in 1586 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 1: awe of a flower helps you feel my creativity because 1587 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 1: how like where would I get creativity comes from everything 1588 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,680 Speaker 1: that you receive. I actually noticed lack of presence for 1589 01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,080 Speaker 1: me is when I'm least creative in the kitchen, least 1590 01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 1: creative in my content because I'm not receiving anything. I'm 1591 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 1: not allowing anything to actually impacts me. And so in 1592 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 1: that case, then I am bored because I'm like, oh 1593 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: my god, I'm so bored. I'm playing the same thing 1594 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,880 Speaker 1: over and over again. Got no new ideas, got nothing 1595 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 1: new to give out to people. Why because I'm not 1596 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,080 Speaker 1: observing or receiving anything exactly. 1597 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's so true. And there's ways to create 1598 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 3: like pockets of time to hear those things. 1599 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 2: Right. 1600 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 3: So one of the things I've been trying, I think 1601 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:27,559 Speaker 3: I think it was actually you that said it, well 1602 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 3: maybe you've mentioned it, is like conscious eating or conscious 1603 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 3: I think you said it at dinner once, like just 1604 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 3: if you're there then like no screens, no phone, just 1605 01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 3: if you're there with people, then speak to the people, 1606 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:40,680 Speaker 3: or if it's alone then just you know, kind of 1607 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,839 Speaker 3: just eat. And it feels really strange at first, obviously, 1608 01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,800 Speaker 3: because it's like there's this meme online. It's like you've 1609 01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 3: been sentenced to a meal without YouTube. Yeah, like yeah, 1610 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 3: the more you do it. 1611 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 1: The more you notice and we will be like, oh 1612 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: my gosh, what's this flavor? Oh my gosh, this is amazing. 1613 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:56,840 Speaker 1: Oh my body doesn't feel good when I'm eating that. 1614 01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,760 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I feel so energized after eating that. 1615 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 1: I think you become a lot more. 1616 01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 2: Efficient when you do moments like that, and. 1617 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,680 Speaker 1: You become a lot more able because you start to 1618 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 1: notice things that you wouldn't have normally noticed that could 1619 01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,519 Speaker 1: actually be affecting you in negative way. 1620 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,799 Speaker 3: And as a paradox, because you think you're being efficient 1621 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 3: by watching the YouTube VI because it's not like any 1622 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,280 Speaker 3: YouTube video, it's like you're learning something right, but then 1623 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 3: you're not fully in either thing exactly. Yeah, when it 1624 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:26,960 Speaker 3: comes to obviously your training ivada and yoga and all 1625 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,719 Speaker 3: of these different areas, when it comes to like developing 1626 01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 3: a routine or creating a routine, like I've done one 1627 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 3: thousand and one routines. Yeah, but then I've obviously, through 1628 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:41,640 Speaker 3: experimenting filtered the best thing for me. How would you 1629 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:43,800 Speaker 3: suggest to do it? But obviously using your knowledge of 1630 01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 3: ivada or yoga or the things that you're an. 1631 01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 2: Expert in of creating a routine. 1632 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 3: Routine or like daily habits for like the most efficiency 1633 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:52,599 Speaker 3: and presence throughout the day. 1634 01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:56,280 Speaker 1: As well, I think you have to simplify and think, Okay, 1635 01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 1: in the morning, I'm going to do something for my mind, 1636 01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,400 Speaker 1: something for my body, something for my heart. 1637 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,439 Speaker 2: It can start as simple as that. In the morning, 1638 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a fifteen minute workout because that's all 1639 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 2: the time I've got. That's for my physical body. 1640 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 1: For my mind, I'm gonna journal, go outside, take some 1641 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 1: deep breaths. And then for my heart, I'm gonna or 1642 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,600 Speaker 1: spirit I'm gonna meditate, or I'm going to listen to 1643 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 1: something that feels meaningful that's going to carry me throughout 1644 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,640 Speaker 1: the day. Or I'm going to read a chapter of 1645 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 1: something or a few pages that stimulate a quality or 1646 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 1: an emotion that I want to feel and pass out 1647 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,760 Speaker 1: to somebody else. Right, And so I feel like if 1648 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 1: you simplify in those three ways and then you can 1649 01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,479 Speaker 1: mimic that even at night. Then and then I say, okay, 1650 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 1: what can I do now to bring myself back to 1651 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 1: my physical body? And that might be one of my 1652 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,479 Speaker 1: favorite things is up Younger. It's like a self body 1653 01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:43,880 Speaker 1: massage with all and you can do it just on 1654 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 1: your feet, you can do it on your hands, but 1655 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,879 Speaker 1: one the feeling of touch ends up being so grounding 1656 01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,840 Speaker 1: for your body and two and it can be any 1657 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,599 Speaker 1: kind of self care routine that you want to do, 1658 01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:57,640 Speaker 1: like it could be a skincare routine. It can be 1659 01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,719 Speaker 1: anything that brings you back to your body and helps 1660 01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,200 Speaker 1: you to reconnect your mind to your body. 1661 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,479 Speaker 2: Breath is usually that. It's like in when I do. 1662 01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,040 Speaker 1: My yoga teacher training, they said, breath is the anchor 1663 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 1: between your mind and your body. 1664 01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:09,240 Speaker 2: And it helps you to link both. 1665 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 1: So if you're in a moment of anxiety lack of presence, 1666 01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:13,719 Speaker 1: use your breath to bring you back. 1667 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 2: So I use breath a lot throughout. 1668 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:17,759 Speaker 1: The day, but it can be anything physical and then 1669 01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:22,679 Speaker 1: mental at night, could be there's a really beautiful sleep 1670 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 1: meditation if someone finds it really difficult to sleep, but 1671 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 1: also is a great. 1672 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 2: Way to connect back to your body. 1673 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 1: And it's a yoga nidra, and essentially it is a 1674 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,960 Speaker 1: practice of most of the time, what they do is 1675 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,000 Speaker 1: they go through from head to toe. You take a 1676 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 1: breath into each part of your body and it really 1677 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,840 Speaker 1: helps you to see where you're holding tension, where you're 1678 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: stressed out, where you're holding a lot of emotion in 1679 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:43,479 Speaker 1: your body. 1680 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 2: It really helps you to figure that out.
