1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I have to pay the bills, but I also 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: have to make sure that my heart and my mind 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: and my spirit are centered and that I'm well in 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: order to still have that energy to go out and work. 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: The first thing I like to do is thank God. 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: It just kind of dedicate my day for me. It's 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: important to know that there's something bigger and stronger and 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: this force that's just much bigger than me. I grew 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: up in this mentality of working. Working, You've got to 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: work harder than everyone else, and working is important, but 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: also resting is important.

I'm going to be sharing with you 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: some of the things I do to keep a healthy 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: balance and some other things I know I need to 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: improve on. So no need to waste any more time. 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: This is cheek Ease and Chill. If you're like me, 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: you probably have a hard time switching off when you're 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: not working. My typical day looks like it changes because 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: I travel so much, but let's talk about when I'm home. 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: When I'm home, I like to wake up around seven 24 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: seven thirty. I used to wake up at six, you guys, 25 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: but now I'm waking up around seven seven thirty. The 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: first thing I like to do is thank God. For me, 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: it's super important to just not look at my phone. 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: There are days when I look at my phone before 29 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: doing anything else, like I'll get a message or something, 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: or I'll see an email and I respond to that 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: before I do my prayers in the morning. And when 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: I do that, when the first thing I do is 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: look at my phone, I feel like my day is 34 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: just more hectic and just stressful. So for me, it's 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: important to wake up. I thank God. I turn on 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: my meditation music. I usually go on Apple Music or Spotify, 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: or I'll just put something like Singing Bowls or Positive 38 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Energy or Zen music, and I just put it on 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: and I liked my incense, and I do my prayer. 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: For me, it's important to know that there's something bigger 41 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: and stronger and this force that's just much bigger than me. 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: And that's why I like to get on my knees 43 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: and I like to just meditate and just kind of 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: dedicate my day, and I always say blessed the hours 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: ahead to just help me get through the day. Because 46 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: we all live, something always happens, like you just never know, 47 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: like you, there's always things that happened unexpectedly. So for me, 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: it's important. It's important to do that the first thing 49 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: I do. And if I have time that day, which 50 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: I usually do, I make time. I like to start 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: my working day around nine ten o'clock. I like to 52 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: work out some cardio, some weights. Might try to work 53 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: out anywhere from three to five times a week. I 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: used to do six, you guys, and but make sure 55 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: you're resting one day. It's important. We're talking about balance, 56 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: so it's good to work out, but always like have 57 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: one day where you just don't do anything, and I 58 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: mean like strenuous, you know. So usually I take off 59 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Sundays from working out, whether I'm traveling or not. I 60 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: like to always have a hotel that has some type 61 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: of cardio machine so that I can sweat. It's important 62 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: to sweat and to release toxins because releasing toxins helps 63 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: you with stress levels, helps you not to get sick, 64 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: it helps you lose weight obviously, So just to sweat 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: and release toxins. For me is important and it's helped 66 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: me so much so anyways, that's working out for me. 67 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: Those two things are kind of like I'm giving myself love. 68 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: I am putting myself first. I am centering myself in 69 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: the morning. I am connecting with my spirituality. I am 70 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: getting my body to move to sweat. Those are gifts 71 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: that I feel like I give myself and it becomes 72 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: a lifestyle and it becomes a part of your routine. 73 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: I think that the most successful people are those that 74 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: have routines that wake up at a certain time. For me, also, 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: another thing that's important is as soon as I wake up, 76 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: I drink water. I always have a water bottle next 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: to my bed, and I take that water bottle into 78 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: my restroom because in my restroom is where I meditate 79 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: and I'm constantly drinking water. Like the first hour of 80 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: my day, I start with just drinking pure water like 81 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: it I don't like get cold. It's just room temperature water, 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: and it's part of my routine. It's kind of like 83 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm feeding my soul. It's kind of like watering a plant, 84 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like that to me is 85 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: just I don't know it's important anyways, So that's what 86 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: I do. Those things are super important. Doesn't matter where 87 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: I am in the world. I always make time for that, 88 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: even in a hotel, in a corner anywhere, just to 89 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: center myself and put myself in God's hands. As far 90 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: as work goes, it's always different. Right now, I'm starting 91 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: to make changes in my life where I want to 92 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: take off Sundays and Mondays from everything. If I have 93 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: to travel from like a show and get home on 94 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: a Sunday, cool, But I don't want to do anything 95 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: else on a Sunday or Monday because I want to 96 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: dedicate it to my home because those things are important 97 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: to me. I've learned that when I'm working too much 98 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: and my home isn't situated and it isn't clean, and 99 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: things aren't its place, it really messes with me. I 100 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys understand me, but if my 101 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: bed isn't made, if my room is a mess, if 102 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: my car is a mess, places that I spend most 103 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: of my time, if they are unorganized and they're a mess, 104 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: I feel like emotionally I'm everywhere. So that's why I 105 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: was like, I just made the decision, and I told 106 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: my manager and I told, oh me, my assistant. You guys, 107 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: I need to take off Sunday and Monday, and I 108 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: need to be at home. I want to cook. I 109 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: want a grocery shop. I want to wash my own clothes. 110 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: It's important for me because I'm so particular, so anal 111 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call it, I've I've learned now with 112 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: age that I am very particular. I want things done 113 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: a certain way, and if they're not done a certain way, 114 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: then I'm upset. So I'd rather just do it myself. 115 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: So I like to wash my clothes. I like the 116 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: grocery shop, I want to cook. I want to just 117 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: end my week, which is Sunday, ending my week the 118 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: right way with myself in my home, and starting my 119 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: week which is Monday, in my home, and just setting 120 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: the tone of what the week is going to look like, 121 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: because again, my week changes so much. I could be 122 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: super busy or I could have less busy days, but 123 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: there's always something to do in the life of chiggies, 124 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: to be honest, So that's what I'm doing. I just 125 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: started implementing that recently, having those days off so that 126 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: I could, you know, like I said, set the tone 127 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: for the week and figure out what I'm doing, because 128 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: if it's not phone interviews, it's interviews on zoom. I 129 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: have a bunch of meetings right now with the album 130 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: that just came out. We have shows, so I have 131 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: to prepare myself for my shows, and it's always different. 132 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: But I think, no matter how busy I am, it 133 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: is important for me to know that my home is 134 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: in place. I want to have quality time with my partner, 135 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: with my dogs, you know what I mean. Like I 136 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: want them to know that I'm not just gonna like 137 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: you know that they're my responsibility. It's weird because I 138 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: was bothering me for a while, you guys, because I 139 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: was so busy that I felt I was neglecting Buncho, 140 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: Like I felt like he probably didn't feel like he 141 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: was my son, like he probably felt, oh, he's only son, 142 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: or he was always at the hotel, at the dog hotel, 143 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: and it was bothering me. And I was like, wait, 144 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: like I don't know, I don't even know how to 145 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: explain it, but it was bothering me, and I wasn't 146 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: comfortable and I felt very out of balance. And those 147 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: things are important to me. So I think it's important 148 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: to check yourself and to just make mental notes and 149 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: write things down to bi. Okay, what makes me happy. 150 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: What makes me happy is giving my partner quality time, 151 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: giving my dog quality time, spending time with him, for 152 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: him to know he's my responsibility, that I love him. 153 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: Going to church, and I don't go every Sunday the 154 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: way I used to you guys, but I just say, Okay, 155 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: I'll try to go once every month. Spending time with 156 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: my siblings, like we try to do it once a 157 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: month as well, Like we'll meet somewhere and we'll all 158 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: go to brunch or something like I go visit Johnny's grandma, 159 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: his dad's mom, and she cooks for us, and those 160 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: things just kind of for me. Help me keep my 161 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: feet on the ground, help me just stay like grounded. 162 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: You know. It's doing things like that where it's like, wait, 163 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: these are the important things in life. Yes, work is important. 164 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: You know. Everyone's just constantly chasing the dollar, you know 165 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: what I mean, and now really focusing on what's important, 166 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, and not really focusing on the moment. And 167 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: I think that for a while I was doing that 168 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: where I was just like so engrossed in work, and 169 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, I have to just keep going. I have 170 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: to pay the bills, and yes, I have to pay 171 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: the bills, but I also have to make sure that 172 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: my heart and my mind and my spirit are centered 173 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: and that I'm well in order to still have that 174 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: energy to go out and work. Does that make sense? 175 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: So I always put those things first. And that's what 176 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: I feel like is balanced. And believe me, you're always 177 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: going to be out of balance, like in some point 178 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: of your life. Like you know, you just have to 179 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: catch yourself and rail yourself back in and say, okay, 180 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: wait a second. I kind of feel myself getting out 181 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: of balance. It's normal because you start getting used to 182 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: just the routine of life. The important thing is catching 183 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: yourself and saying, okay, wait a second, let me take 184 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: a few steps back, center myself, recenter myself. You know, 185 00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: I think it's important. If I think about it, the 186 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: most stressful part of my day, if I'm being honest, 187 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: it would have to be anything that's work related. And 188 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: the reason I say this is because I'm the type 189 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: of person that wants to give my all to anything 190 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: that I'm doing. Like I feel like if I'm going 191 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: to do it. If I'm going to start it, I 192 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: need to finish it, and I need to finish it strong. 193 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: It could be anything. So for a long time, it 194 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I have to work because 195 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: obviously so many people expect so much for me, and 196 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: I have so many different businesses that I feel like 197 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: I've done that to myself, you guys, where it's like 198 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: I I put myself in these situations where it seems 199 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: easy at the time, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I 200 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: want to get myself into this, and I say yes 201 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: to certain things at the moment because it sounds great 202 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: and it's a great business opportunity and great business move 203 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: without considering the fact that I have so much on 204 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: my plate already. That's another thing that I've learned this year, 205 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: where it's like, Okay, it's okay to say no to 206 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: certain things because I don't want to disappoint any body. 207 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: I'll say yes, but then I end up disappointing myself. 208 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: So I think for me, it's I've learned a little 209 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: more to say no this year, even to my management, 210 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: even to certain people, family members in my life, friends, whatever, 211 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: because I need to really just do what makes me 212 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: truly happy and at peace, you know. So going back 213 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: to what stresses me out, I think it it would 214 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: have to be work. It would have to be where 215 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: it's like I want to obviously have responsibilities at work 216 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: and I have to get things done, but I also 217 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: want to spend time with my partner, you know what 218 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Because yes, Emilio is busy and he's doing 219 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: this thing or whatever, but I'm a lot busier, you 220 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So finding that balance of I 221 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: have to do this video. Sometimes it's stuff that I 222 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: have to do videos for, like be flawless and push 223 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: certain products, and it's like he's home already. He gets 224 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: home and he's waiting for me, and I feel sometimes 225 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: like a little pressured. I'm like, oh my god, I 226 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: have to give him time. But I've learned to also 227 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: speak my mind and let him know, hey, this is 228 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: my job. This is part of what makes me happy 229 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: be And I think for me that was like the 230 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: most stressful thing, even like a couple of months ago, 231 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: until I just spoke and I told him, Hey, I 232 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: need you to understand. And I think it was just 233 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: in my mind because he's like, hey, I'm totally fine, 234 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: Like don't worry about me, And I think I was 235 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: just creating things in my mind, you know. But once 236 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: I spoke about it and I let him know, then 237 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: it helped out the situation. I think sometimes we make 238 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: up all these stories in our mind and we don't 239 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: talk about it, and it makes us angry and more 240 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: stressed out when simply all you gotta do is talk 241 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: and then it's gone, you know what I mean. Right now, 242 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: I think my biggest stress is making sure that I'm 243 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: not so busy that I forget to eat. Sometimes I 244 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: forget to like feed myself and really sit down, you 245 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: guys and enjoy my food. Like sometimes I'm in the 246 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: Russian I'm working and eating and it's like, no, like 247 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: you need to sit down, bless your food and say God, 248 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: thank you for this food. Eat, give yourself a good 249 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: twenty minutes thirty minutes to eat slowly, enjoy your food, 250 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: and go back to work. I grew up, you guys 251 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: in this mentality of working. Working. You gotta work, you 252 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: gotta work harder than everyone else, And that's awesome, that's cool. Yes, 253 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: I want to show that to my children, show that 254 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: to my siblings. Working is important, but also resting is important, 255 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: you guys, taking time to sit down and enjoy your 256 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: food and drink your water. And now I've learned to 257 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I'm on the computer, I'm doing some work. 258 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm there for like three hours straight and then I 259 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: go outside and I take a breath of fresh air, 260 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I I realigned myself, and I'm like, Okay, 261 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: when they say stop and smell the roses, that's what 262 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: it means. It's like, yes, you could be busy doing 263 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,359 Speaker 1: your thing, but stop and thank God for the sky, 264 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: for the flowers, for your dog, for the plants in 265 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: your house. I don't know anything, stop and smell the roses. 266 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: And I come from a background from a family that 267 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, to make it, you need to 268 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: suffer to make it in this world. And I had 269 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: that mentality for so long, and guys, my mom was 270 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: like that. My mom didn't know how to vacation. My 271 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: mom didn't know how to rest. I mean, we would 272 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: be at dinner and she was on her phone and 273 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: I would have arguments with her. I'm like, Mom, you're 274 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: with your kids, you're not here. Put your phone away. 275 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: And we started implementing this thing that when mom was home, 276 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: we would all put our phones in the center of 277 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: the table and enjoy each other because you never know 278 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: what can happen. And you go out to restaurants, you guys, 279 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: and you look around and everyone is on their phone. 280 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: They're either taking fucking pictures or video supposed on Instagram 281 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and they're not talking and not 282 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: having conversations. And that's what I mean. It's like everyone's 283 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: all about the hustle and bustle, and this whole thing 284 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: was just like wait a second, like chill out, put 285 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: your phone to the side and listen, you know what 286 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: I mean. And my mom had that, and I learned 287 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: through my mentor, and he's the one that two years 288 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: ago said you need to rest. Your responsibility is also 289 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: in what you do is to rest. There's no shame 290 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: in resting. And I had shame about resting, you guys, 291 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Like I was like, no, Like I'd be on vacation 292 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: and I feel guilty. I'd be sitting on my couch 293 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: for a little bit and I'd feel guilty, and I 294 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: know if Mom was here, I would have to be 295 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: doing something. Like my mom, it was hard for her 296 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: to just sit down and enjoy something and enjoy a movie, 297 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Even when we were at 298 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: the movie, she'd be on her phone answering emails and 299 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: stuff like that. And I want to change that in 300 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: my life. My Grandpa's the same way, Like I want 301 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: to work, yes, but also make some time in my schedule. 302 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: Now I'll plan out my vacations and I look forward 303 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: to that. I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna have a vacation 304 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: for my birthday. I'm gonna have a vacation for the 305 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: end of the year. And the rest of the year, 306 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: I'll work and Okay, I'm gonna work Tuesday through Saturday, 307 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: and I'm going to rest on Sunday and Monday. Because 308 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: it is important, you guys, to recharge your batteries to 309 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: regenerate yourself. It's something that I've had to learn and 310 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: it's been hard, but I really recommend you guys doing 311 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: these things that I just mentioned because it changes your 312 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: life completely. Now I can go to dinner and not 313 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: have to post a video of my food. I'm really 314 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: just enjoy going the moment with whomever I'm with, and 315 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: it's not about just what I'm gonna put on Instagram. 316 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: Now I keep more things to myself in my heart, 317 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: in my mind of nice moments, or I take pictures, 318 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: but I don't post them. It's just for me. Before 319 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: I used to share everything you guys, and I just 320 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: felt like it became this. It was a little annoying 321 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: to be honest to people. I think around me and 322 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: talking about emails, and I'm the type of person that 323 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: needs to have everything clean in my phone. I need 324 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: to not see emails, like I don't even like to 325 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: see one one an opened one. But in the morning, 326 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't look at my emails. I look at them 327 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: like after I've done everything, my personal things, my praying, 328 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: my working out, and that's my personal time. Now it's 329 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: work time, and I'll get into my emails and I'll 330 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: start responding. I usually start responding to my emails around 331 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: nine or ten, and I try to stop at a 332 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: certain time. There are times it's not all the time, 333 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: but I I sometimes answer them super late, like if 334 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm really busy throughout the day, then right before i 335 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: go to bed, I'll go ahead and respond to two 336 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: emails because I don't like to leave him there for 337 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: a long time. I need to get better actually on 338 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: my emails you guys, I really do. I like to 339 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: just clean them out like the junk mill, and then 340 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: I just leave the other ones and open. I'm like, okay, 341 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: I'll get to them right now. But I do want 342 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: to get better at responding a little quicker to my emails. 343 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: But when I'm in bed, I'll just put my phone 344 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: to the side and I just focused. I like to 345 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: just spend time with my partner with the media and 346 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: like we'll watch like a show and it's just to unwind, 347 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And our thing is this 348 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: is exclusive information for my podcast because I've never said this, 349 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: but I have really turned to marijuana, you guys, to 350 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: sleep to relax. So I just put my phone to 351 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: the side. Like him and I are the same, and 352 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: it is something that he's taught me to be honest. 353 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: He's like, can we just have like the last hour 354 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: of our day to ourselves where you're not on your phone, 355 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: you're not on Instagram. And I'm like, yeah, you're right. 356 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: He's like, because it's important to me to spend time 357 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: with you. You've been busy. I've been busy all day. 358 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're right, So I don't turn off 359 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: my phone. I try not to turn off my phone. 360 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: You guys, I'll get back to the week thing right now. 361 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: But I try not to turn off my phone because 362 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, and this is something 363 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: I have to get better at. I want to have 364 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: it on just in case my siblings need me. I 365 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: feel like, if Mikey something happens, because Mikey is the 366 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: type of guy that likes to be out late at night, 367 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: or Johnny sometimes drives all the way to San Diego, 368 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: like he has friends in San Diego, and I'm like, 369 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: what if they call me and my phone's off? And 370 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: I just started thinking all these things. So I want 371 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: to get better at that because I trust so much 372 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: in the universe and in God that I'm like, you know, 373 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: like I can't worry so much all the time about 374 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: my siblings. But the truth is that I leave it 375 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: on just in case they call me. I'll ignore text messages, 376 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: but I'm like, if it's important and someone calls me 377 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: and I turned off my phone on, do not disturb, 378 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: Like it would drive me nuts if I knew if 379 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: something happens and I didn't respond, you know what I mean. 380 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: But I have to just trust a little bit more 381 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: you know. But anyways, so what I've been doing is 382 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: put my phone on the side. We watched the show. 383 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: We smoke a little joint, a little blunt, a little marijuana. 384 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: It's a lot better than leaping pills, you guys. And 385 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: my personal opinion, okay, it's helped me out. I'll do 386 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: melotonin once in a while, but I'm really enjoying smoking 387 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of weed. Unwinding and I have such 388 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: a good night's rest, you guys. If I have a headache, 389 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: if my neck hurts, if I'm stressed out like I 390 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: forget about everything, of course I say my prayers. I 391 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: always get on my knees, you guys, before going to sleep, 392 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: getting on my knees and just thanking God for the day. 393 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: Even if I'm a little bit high, I'm like, God, 394 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: you know what's up. You know you made this herb. 395 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: It's here for us because you made it so Him 396 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: and I we have a connection. That's part of my 397 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: spiritual gangster situation. So even if I'm high, it doesn't matter. 398 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: I'll get on my knees on my God, thank you. 399 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: And then I go to sleep, you guys, and I 400 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: feel so good. I wake up and I'm more energized. 401 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: It's been like a part of my like routine for 402 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: the past I don't know, I want to say eight 403 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: months or so. That's like my thing with Emilia. We 404 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: smoke a little bit and we just chill and I 405 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: sleep like a baby. So you guys know, I've mentioned 406 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: it a lot on my social media on Instagram. I'm 407 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: all about self care. I feel like self care is 408 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: self love, taking care of yourself, whether it be like 409 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: with a skincare regimen or like I said in the morning, 410 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: drinking some water, feeding yourself. You know, I feel like 411 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: it's important for the first thing that goes into your 412 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: body for it to be water. I feel like it 413 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: just starts your day off right. I don't know, maybe 414 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: it's just in my mind, but anyways, I used to 415 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: do all with lion. Now after my water, I'll do 416 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: like a little tea, green tea with like collagen and 417 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: fiber in it, like all in one. It's tastes so delicious, 418 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: you guys, And I just feel like I'm just doing 419 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: something good for my body. So anyways, you guys are 420 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: well aware of that. I'm always sharing it. I'm all 421 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: about taking care of yourself because it's a form of 422 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: loving yourself, and loving yourself is the only way that 423 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: you'll be able to love anyone else. So anyways, part 424 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: of what I do I already told you guys. At 425 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I get on my knees, 426 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: I thank God, I pray. I have a little fountain 427 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: you guys that I just purchased a couple of months 428 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: ago on Amazon. That it's just like a little table 429 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: fountain that just is just go with them, and that 430 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: helps me relax. I don't know if it's because I'm 431 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: a water sign I'm cancer you guys. So I feel 432 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: like water just relaxes me, and I don't know, I 433 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: recommend it. I have a better sleep as well, and 434 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: also like sleep music helps me. And one thing that 435 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: I like to do weekly at the end of the week, 436 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: usually on Mondays. I do it actually either Sunday or Monday, 437 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: all the water, all my plants in the house. I 438 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: feel like a plant is like a dog, if that 439 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: makes any sense. That I feel like anyone that loves 440 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: animals and takes care of animals and humans and like plants, 441 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: I feel like it's a different type of person because 442 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 1: they're hopeless. They can't water themselves. They can't be themselves. 443 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: But for me, it's important to like water my plants 444 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: and talk to them. Call me weird. I'm a plant lady. 445 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm a crazy plant lady. I'll sit there and I 446 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: name my plans, I give them water, and I feel 447 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: like it's a part of I'm caring for them, but 448 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm also caring for myself. It's like a relaxing thing 449 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: that I've just discovered, like the past year, where I 450 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: sit there and I'm talking to them. I'm like, oh 451 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: my baby, like I love you. Like I'll cut their hair. 452 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: I I it's like if I'm cutting their hair, but 453 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, cutting their little like dry spots. 454 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: And it helps me so much. It's helped me like relax, 455 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: you guys, And I don't know. I mean, if it's 456 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: watering your grass, if it's doing something like without you 457 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: even knowing that you're doing, it's like, okay, yeah, it's 458 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: my lawn, but in reality, it's a living thing, your grass, 459 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: the plants. Like I just feel like you're doing something 460 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: good for the earth, for yourself, for them because they're living. 461 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: Is that weird for me to say? But anyways, it's 462 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: helped me so much, so I recommend that as well. 463 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: Get yourself a little plant. Start with one and talk 464 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: to it and and water it, and it feels like 465 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: you're doing something good for someone because they are someone. 466 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: I sound like freaking, I felt, I sound like crazy, 467 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: lady write out, but whatever. I don't know. If there's 468 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: anyone out there that understands me. I'm sure there is. 469 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: I cannot be the only one. Guys, if you're listening, 470 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: you guys probably think I'm crazy. But buy yourself a 471 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: damn plant. Put it next to your like sink in 472 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: the morning, and water it and it just it makes 473 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: you feel good. Anyways, as to hear myself speak, you guys, 474 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: I feel like and it feels good. Oh you guys. 475 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: One thing I don't know if you guys do this 476 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people. For a long time, I did this. 477 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: I would put on forensic File because I love forensic files, 478 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: and I would sleep with it in the background, and 479 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: my mom would too. I learned it from my mom. Actually, 480 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: there are studies that say that it's the worst thing 481 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: that we can do for ourselves is sleep with the 482 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: TV on, even if it's on me. You guys, the 483 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: frequencies or whatever you want to call it, that come 484 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: out of the television. It's not good for our bodies 485 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: and our mind and our brain. That's why even sleeping 486 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: with your phone too close to you is not good. 487 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: People sleep with their phone under their pillow or on 488 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: the bed. It's always good to keep it, like they've 489 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: told me to keep it in another room, like in 490 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: the bathroom or something. I can't. I haven't gotten that good, 491 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: you guys. I want to get better at it, but 492 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: I leave it like it's on a little table away 493 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: from my face, away from my body, because all that 494 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: radiation and stuff is not good for us. So I 495 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: stopped sleeping, you guys, with my TV on because for 496 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: a long time it was my baby's sleeping music. And 497 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: I stopped doing that. Like now, I try to just 498 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: turn it off. I try not to forget because all 499 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: that stuff like it gets into your brain and you 500 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: can have bad nightmares and it's just all kinds of things. 501 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: You guys should look into it. Google it and you'll 502 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: see what I'm talking about. And ever since I stopped 503 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: doing it, I feel a lot better. I feel more energized. 504 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: The next day. I just feel like for the lack 505 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: of a better word, cleaner. So yeah, I don't sleep 506 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: with my TV on anymore. I like candles on. I 507 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: like a nightlight. I love nightlights, you guys. I don't 508 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: really love the dark. You know. We'll talk about that 509 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: in another episode where I don't like the dark, but 510 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: I like to have a nightlight and all those little 511 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: things like the little fountain, the little sleep music, a 512 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: little nightlight. It just gives you, like a peaceful like 513 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: night's rest, a little bit of weed if you want, 514 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: if you know, if your doctor recommends it, it helps 515 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: you sleep. And I feel like since I've been doing 516 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: all that, I feel more energetic, I feel happier. So, guys, 517 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: I've gotten this question a lot where people ask me, 518 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: like how do I sleep? Like Becky said, so it depends. 519 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: It depends. I'm very much a pajama girl, especially during 520 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: the winter. I like like cute little matching pajamas, like 521 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: I love pjs, I love robes. I'm very like much 522 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: that girl. My siblings always for Christmas give me like 523 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: they always know, like pajamas or bantus, which are slippers. 524 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: But anyways, it just depends. There are times when I'm 525 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: feeling something sexy, like if I'm wearing something sexy is 526 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: because we're about to get down, you know what I mean, 527 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: Like Emilia already knows it's that night you feel me? 528 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: And sometimes I just I don't really like to sleep 529 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: naked anymore. Before I used to sleep naked like a lot, 530 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: But now that the dogs are around, I don't know. 531 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: I started like because right basically sleeps with us, like 532 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: r use a little puppy, like the little small puppy, 533 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: so he sleeps on the bed. So come, okay you no, No, 534 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable. It's weird. I don't feel comfortable 535 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: sleeping naked, but sometimes I will, depending if it's really hot. 536 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: But I usually like to keep my air conditioner. I 537 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: like to keep the room cool, like at seventy two, 538 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: sometimes sixty nine, sixty nine or seventy two. Those are 539 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: like my two numbers, Like I like my air conditioner 540 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: at but I guess I would be warm. I would 541 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: say pajama girl, and then the other I would probably 542 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: say I'm either naked or something sexy. But I guess 543 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: I am that girl that wears likes to wear pajamas. 544 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: And I used to have a silk pillowcase, because that's 545 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: really good for your hair, for the health of your hair, 546 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: for your skin, you guys. I used to and I 547 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: actually should get one, but it doesn't go like with 548 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: the decor of my room. So maybe I should get 549 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: a pillow that's just for that and hide it. But 550 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: they make me hot. I feel like the silk makes 551 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: me hotter. It makes me like warm while I'm asleep. 552 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: But it is very good. It's good for your hair 553 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: and for your skin, you guys. But yeah, I just 554 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: wanted to share that because you know, I have gotten 555 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: that question a lot.
