1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: It's not possible to never feel anxiety. It is possible 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: to feel anxiety less. It is not possible to never 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: have an anxious thought. Wanting something to be eternally absent 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: from our life for it to never happen, it won't happen. 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: It's not possible. And at the same time, we do 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: the opposite. We want something to be eternally present. We say, 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: I always want to be happy. You can be happy 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: every day, but you won't be happy every moment of 9 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: every day. That's also not possible. Hey, everyone, welcome back 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: to On Purpose, the number one health podcast in the world. 11 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: Thanks to each and every single one of you, I 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: want to say that I am so deeply grateful for 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: the strength of this incredible community, all the hard work 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: that you're putting in, all the changes you're making in 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: your life. I am amazed that you're staying committed to 16 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, and it means the world to 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: me because it's so important to constantly refuel our minds, 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: to inspire ourselves to connect with life changing thought because 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: guess well, when we change our thoughts, we start to 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: change how we feel. And so I'm so grateful that 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: you're here again, and today's episode is another solo episode 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: where I'm going to give you some power tips on 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: the five stages of managing change that you can't avoid 24 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: and finding opportunity in adversity. I thought it was really 25 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: important that we talk about how to manage change right 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: now because change is something we all experience. Change is 27 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: something we're all going through right now, and we don't 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: realize that we've never been exposed to the skills or 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: the talents on how to deal with it now. Benjamin 30 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Franklin said it best, change is the only constant in life. 31 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: One's ability to adapt to those changes will determine your 32 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: success in life. That statement literally encapsulates everything we need 33 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: to know. Change is always going to be there, and 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: sometimes it's more extreme like it is right now than 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: at other times. But listen to what he says carefully. 36 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: One's ability to adapt to those changes will determine your 37 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: success in life. Adapting is everything for us, and it's 38 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: crazy because learning to deal with change and adapting is 39 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: probably the most useful skill in the world. Considering it 40 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: that it's so constant, changes are unavoidable. Everyone has to 41 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: experience it, and it's consistently experienced but whenever trained in 42 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: school or college or at work how to deal with it. 43 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: No one ever teaches you how to deal with change. 44 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: And that's what I want to share with you today 45 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: because you'll find when I start going through these tips 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: and these ideas, there's a lot in there that may 47 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: actually surprise you on how to deal with change. Often 48 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: we're told like, just be positive, right, like just think 49 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: good things, just look for the good in everything. And 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: you know that's not necessarily the best advice, and often 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: it can actually be misleading. It can create more challenges 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: than it creates solutions, and we actually end up feeling 53 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: emptier because of it. So none of what I'm gonna 54 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: share with you today are just easy answers. This is 55 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: really doing the deep work, which I know all of 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: you are ready for. Now. Here's the thing. Change can 57 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: often feel like pain. It can feel like grief and loss. 58 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: Change can feel like pain. Change can feel like a 59 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: lot more than change because it often feels like things 60 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: are changing for the worse. Right, we want things to 61 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: change for the better. But when it feels like things 62 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: are changing for the worse, that's when we feel pain. Now, 63 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: tik Nat Harn explain this best He said that we 64 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: have this attachment to familiar pain. We keep going back 65 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: to the same pain, and we want the same pain 66 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: because it gives certainty in our life. How crazy is 67 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: that that we crave certainty so much that we push 68 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: ourselves towards familiar pain. We'd rather go through pain we're 69 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: sure of than new pains, which he calls unfamiliar pains. 70 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: It's crazy that we crave certainty so much that we 71 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: would rather accept familiar pain than the unfamiliar pain of change. 72 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: So change feels like unfamiliar pain. It feels like you 73 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: don't know what to expect, you don't know what's going 74 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: to happen, and you're like, well, I don't want that. 75 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: I just rather have the pain of sitting in this 76 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: same place every day and feeling the pain that I'm 77 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: used to feeling. And it's fascinating, right when you think 78 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: about it like that, you're like, what is wrong with me? Like? 79 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: Why would I do that to myself? But that's how 80 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: badly we want certainty. That's how badly we want things 81 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: to stay the same. So I was looking at this 82 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: when I was reflecting on this and thinking about this podcast, 83 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: and I've been doing so many interviews recently on The 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: Today's Show and CNN, and we've done a ton of 85 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: interviews right now to try and support and help with 86 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: CNBC with the WE movement. It's been a really powerful 87 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: time to try and get this message out there. But 88 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 1: when I was thinking about this podcast, I was looking 89 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: at something called the Kubler Ross model, which talks about 90 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: the five stages of grief. So, here are the five 91 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: stages of grief. And I'm reading from a graphic that 92 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: I found on Pinterest, and it says that these are 93 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: the five stages of grief and what they really mean. 94 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: So the first stage of grief is, according to the 95 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 1: Kubler Ross model, is denial. Denial is a normal reaction 96 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: to rationalize overwhelming emotions. It is a defense mechanism that 97 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: buffers the immediate shock of loss. Now, the reason why 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the grief model is because I feel like, 99 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: to some degree, we're all going through some sort of 100 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: grief or loss at the moment. Right We've all lost 101 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: some thing. We may have lost time, we may have 102 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: lost money, we may have lost someone. And if you've 103 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: lost someone or you're going through a really tough time, 104 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: potentially about to lose someone, I just want to send 105 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: you and them all my love and prayers and best wishes. 106 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: But others have lost different things. Maybe you lost or 107 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: missed your graduation. Maybe you missed a prom Maybe you 108 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: missed a promotion, maybe you missed a vacation. Maybe your 109 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: weddings had to be postponed. Maybe you lost a job, 110 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: maybe you broke up with someone because of the challenge 111 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: at this time. So it's interesting that we're all going 112 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: through some sort of grief and the five stages of grief. 113 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: As the Kubula Ross model talks about denial as the 114 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: first step. Often we deny the loss and we act like, 115 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: oh no, I haven't lost anything. I'm fine, Like I'm 116 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: good right, don't worry about me, and we don't seek 117 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: out help because we feel safer in the denial. Again, 118 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: the familiar pain, as tik Na Han says, the second 119 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: stage of the Kubul Ross model is anger, and it's 120 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: described here as the numbing effect of the denial stage 121 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: of grief begins to wear off, the pain of loss 122 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: starts to firmly take hold as we search for blame, 123 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: feel intense guilt, and lash out. So this is where 124 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: we you know, start trying to find someone else who's 125 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: responsible for the pain. We reflect or deflect our pain 126 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 1: onto someone else. Now, the third stage of the Kubul 127 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: Ross model is bargaining. Bargaining is the what if stage 128 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: of grief, and it serves an important purpose. It provides 129 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: temporary escape from pain, provides hope, and gives a person 130 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: time to adjust to the reality of the situation. Right, 131 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: that's that bargaining, what if this, what if that? And 132 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: it gives us a temporary relief. Again, we're looking constantly 133 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: for that numbing. It's fascinating that we've so not been 134 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: trained to sit with our pain that we constantly trying 135 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: to numb everything. Right, And when people are trying to 136 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: numb stuff, we turn to alcohol, we turn to addiction, 137 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: we turn to overeating, we turn to video games. We 138 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: numb ourselves in so many different ways from feeling pain 139 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: because it feels easier. And so that's why we develop 140 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: all these bad habits. And hey, if you've fallen into 141 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: a bad habit right now, or you're struggling with a 142 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: bad habit right now, you've got to give yourself a break. 143 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: Because it's natural when we're feeling pain that we try 144 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: and numb ourselves from that pain, so that's bargaining. The 145 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: fourth is depression. In the Krubler Ross model, this type 146 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: of depression is not a sign of mental illness. It 147 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: is the appropriate response to a great loss. You might 148 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: experience intense sadness, decrease sleep, reduced appetite, and loss of 149 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: motivation are common. And the fifth and final stage is acceptance. 150 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Acceptance refers to accepting the reality of a loss and 151 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: the fact that nothing can change that reality. This does 152 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: not mean that the person is okay with the loss. 153 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: I've studied and read about the Kubla Ross model before, 154 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: and I was thinking a lot about it because I 155 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: was thinking about the phases I was going through during 156 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: this time. You know, we've all been in lockdown for 157 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: like six to eight weeks now, and I was thinking 158 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: that so many people are going through phases. And you 159 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: can tell by the memes people post what phase they're 160 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: in right now. And you know, it started off as 161 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: complete panic and kind of like confusion and anxiety, and 162 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: then it got to a point of I'm board in 163 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: the house, and I'm in the house board, and then 164 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: it got to a point of trying to help and 165 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: serve and make a difference. So it's really interesting. So 166 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: the reason why I want to share this with you 167 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: is I think we're all getting a real powerful opportunity 168 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: right now to build our muscle of dealing with change. 169 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: Right dealing with change is like a muscle in the body. 170 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: The more you lift a weight of that muscle, the 171 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: more likely it strengthens. And so for so many of us, 172 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: this is the first time that dealing with change is 173 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: like hitting us in the face, and we can't avoid it. 174 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: We can't skip it, we can't pretend like it's not there. 175 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: We can't just say, oh, okay, like I can just 176 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: go out with my friends and I won't have to 177 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: worry about this anymore. Right, How many of us have 178 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: used busyness, used being productive, use being you know, just 179 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 1: having a lot on as excuses for not really addressing 180 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: what we're going through. And for the first time, it's 181 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: hard to turn to any of those things. You Know, 182 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: one of the biggest challenges that we're all experiencing right 183 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: now is that we feel bad for what we feel 184 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: sad about. Right how many of you are going through 185 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: that right now where you feel sad because you've lost 186 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: something or there's something missing in your life, and then 187 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: you feel bad because you're feeling sad for something that 188 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: doesn't feel worthy of losing because someone else has lost 189 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: so much more. And this is something that we all 190 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: go through in life. So the example, let me just 191 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: make it really simple, is that if someone's losing a 192 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: family member and you've lost a vacation, you think you 193 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: can't feel bad for losing that vacation. Or if someone's 194 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: lost their family member and you may have lost your job, 195 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: but you're like, oh, at least I'm still alive. At 196 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: least my family is still loves So you feel bad 197 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: for feeling bad, right, you feel bad about feeling sad 198 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: about whatever you've lost. Now, the truth is that this 199 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: is actually one of the biggest mistakes we make and 200 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: change is that we belittle our pain, We shrink it, 201 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: we make it feel insignificant. So sometimes that's a useful thing, 202 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: but it's not useful when you just shove your feelings 203 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: under the car, but you hide them. The analogy I 204 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: was giving to someone the other day is you know, 205 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: when someone's coming over to your home, You've got guests 206 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: coming over, you've got friends coming over, and because you 207 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: don't want to tidy up properly. You shove all your clothes, 208 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: all your snacks, whatever it is, you shove them into 209 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: a wardrobe, hoping that no one's going to find it 210 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: and see it, and they come over and go, oh, 211 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: your place is so beautiful, blah blah blah blah. And 212 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: then you know, in a few months time, you somehow 213 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: open that shelf up again by mistake, and everything falls 214 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: on top of you. Our problems are kind of like that. 215 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: We we try and close away our problems into the 216 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: closet of hiding things from ourselves or brushing it under 217 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: the carpet, and then one day all of our problems 218 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: cascade and fall onto us when we reopened that closet. 219 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: So you know, how many times are we going to 220 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: keep doing this in our life? And I feel like 221 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: right now, and it's not about the best time, it's 222 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: a time when we don't really have a choice, where 223 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: we have to really address what's going on. So I 224 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: want to talk about these five stages of change that 225 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: I was inspired by the Kubula rosmodel and the five 226 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: stages of grief, but I saw these as being the 227 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: personal development, personal growth way of dealing with chains that 228 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: I want to share with you today, and these are 229 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: the five stages that I'm sure you're going and as 230 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: you're listening to me, I want you to pinpoint where 231 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: you think you are. And remember none of them is 232 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: a good place to be or a bad place, or 233 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: a easy place or a hard place. I just want 234 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: you to be honest with yourself about where you think 235 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: you currently are. And none of them makes you better 236 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: or worse. Right, like, I want you to recognize that 237 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: like none of them makes you better or worse for 238 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: where you are. It's just important if you know, you know, 239 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: we all know this, that when you figure out where 240 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: you are, then you know you know where you want 241 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: to go and where you want to be. So these 242 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: are the five stages. And like I said, I don't 243 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: want you to judge yourself or feel guilty. I want 244 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: you to find yourself on the map. And the reason 245 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm sharing this with you today is I'm giving you 246 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: the map of change because if you don't know where 247 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: you are, how are you going to get to where 248 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: you want to get to? And that's really the issue 249 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: that when you're stuck in a zone like a lot 250 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: of us are right now, when you feel stuck, when 251 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: you feel lost, when you feel confused, it gets really 252 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: really tough, like really tough to know where you going next, 253 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: and you kind of feel like there is no next. 254 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: How many times have you ever felt that you like 255 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: I've hit a wall, I'm at a dead end. It's blocked, 256 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: it's not going anywhere. I don't know what I'm going 257 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: to do. Right, So this is why I'm giving you this. 258 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: So the first stage, and this is imagine the first 259 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: time you heard about COVID and you realize that there 260 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: might be a lockdown and you might not be able 261 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: to see anyone. The first thing that we experience is anxiety. Right, 262 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: how many of you hold your hand up right now, 263 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: not a way. How many of you felt anxiety, confusion, fear, 264 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: and feeling stuck. I'm sure a lot of you felt that. 265 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: I know I felt that. You just feel mass confusion, 266 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: like pandemic. I remember a lot of people saying the 267 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: word pandemic. It's like, Wow, this sounds crazy. I can't 268 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: believe there's a pandemic. And then you go, wow, it's 269 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: affecting the whole world for the first time, and you're 270 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: just getting anxious. You're getting tons of alerts, you're getting 271 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: tons of news, you're getting tons of chats and conversations 272 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it, and all of a sudden, 273 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: completely anxious. So anxiety is a very common thing to 274 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: feel at the beginning of change. Now one of the 275 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: biggest things that we do with anxieties, we almost feel 276 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: surprised by it. We're like, oh, no, why am I 277 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: feeling so anxious? Why am I feeling so nervous? Why 278 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: am I confused? It's like, well, wait, wait a minute. 279 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: If someone just told you news that you weren't expecting, 280 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: it's natural to feel anxious. I want you to realize this. 281 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: We get surprised by anxiety and we start getting worried 282 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: that we're anxious, But actually, what's happened is that anxiety 283 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: is something that we should expect because anytime something new happens, 284 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: you're naturally going to feel anxious, and anxiety is a 285 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: natural and normal feeling. It's when we demonize it we 286 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: get scared of it. And this was one of the 287 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: most beautiful teachings I learned as a monk that monks 288 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: never demonize or glorify anything. We neutralize it. So when 289 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: you hear about anxiety, If you demonize anxiety, it's like, 290 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: oh know, anxiety is the worst thing that could happen 291 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: to me. It's gonna happen to you again at some 292 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: point when it happens to you, like, oh my god, 293 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: this is the worst thing that's happening to me. Right, 294 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: you associate that demonized version of it. Now, obviously we 295 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: know glorify anxiety, but a glorified version is like, oh 296 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: my god, anxiety is the best thing in the world. 297 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: It's amazing. That's also not true, right. We don't want 298 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: anxiety all the time. We don't want to feel constantly anxious. 299 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: So neutralizing it means I expect it to happen, and 300 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm learning to develop the tools and the practices that 301 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: help me manage it and navigate it, rather than expect 302 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: it never to happen. We want a lot in our 303 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: life to be eternally present or eternally absent. So what 304 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean by that is often we say like, I 305 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: never want to feel anxious again. News update. Not possible, 306 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: just not possible. It's not possible to never feel anxiety. 307 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: It is possible to feel anxiety less. It is possible 308 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: to feel anxiety for less time. It is not possible 309 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: to never have an anxious thought, right, So something to 310 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: be eternally absent from our life for it to never happen. 311 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: It won't happen. It's not possible. And at the same 312 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: time we do the opposite, We want something to be 313 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: eternally present. We say, I always want to be happy. 314 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: I want to be happy every single day. You can 315 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: be happy every day, but you won't be happy every 316 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: moment of every day. That's also not possible. And so 317 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: these false expectations in our minds and our lives create anxiety. 318 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: And so I really want you to think about what's 319 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: creating your anxiety and how the more we learn to 320 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: accept it and normalize it and neutralize it, the easier 321 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: it begins to deal with. Now, the second thing that 322 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: we all experience, which I think most of us experienced 323 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: in different ways, is anger. Now, anger doesn't mean you're 324 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: shouting and screaming and being loud. It can mean that, 325 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: but anger also means like an internal feeling of like 326 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: bitterness and just feeling upset and angry at the world 327 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: and anger at yourself and angry at what's going on 328 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: and not being productive. So anger can also be inward. 329 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't always have to be outward and I think 330 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: a lot of us experience inward anger more than we 331 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: experience outward anger. And again, this is the frustration, the pain, 332 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: the disappointment with ourselves are the situation where angry at governments, 333 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: we're angry at the world, we're angry at the news, 334 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: We're just angry. And again, this is something that we 335 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: have to experience. It's something we have to feel. It's 336 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: not abnormal. What we have to try and do with 337 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: our emotions is to feel them for less time and 338 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: give them less energy. But it doesn't mean we don't 339 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: have to feel them. And so maybe many of you 340 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: went through anger again, figure out where you are on 341 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: the journey. Now. The third statement or the third place 342 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: is acceptance. Right, so you can see some of these 343 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: are they're in the Kubler Ross model, although I mean 344 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: different things for me, it's also accepting in the same way. 345 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: Is that you accept what's going on. You're like, Okay, 346 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: I get it. The quarantine's a real thing, lockdown's a 347 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: real thing. It's a real thing. This is all real. 348 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: It's not going away. But that doesn't mean I'm happy 349 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: about it. It just means that I accept that it's there, 350 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: it's real, and I have to deal with the fact 351 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: that it's now happening, right, it's getting to grips now. 352 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: Getting to acceptance as quick as you can is a 353 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: beautiful thing when it's real. Like you want to get 354 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: to acceptance very beautifully and naturally and get to a 355 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: point where you just are able to say, yes, I've 356 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: found it, Yes I'm here, Yes I'm there, but it 357 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: needs to be real. And sometimes we've rushed the process 358 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: of getting to acceptance because we think we have to 359 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: be there. And I don't want you to be at 360 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: acceptance because you feel you have to be there. I 361 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: want you to be at acceptance because you really are there. 362 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: Right when you feel you have to be somewhere, you're 363 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: not really there, you know what I mean. Like even 364 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: when someone says you have to be at a party, 365 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: you're not really there. That's kind of like getting to acceptance. 366 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: It's like, I want you to be there because you 367 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: want to be there. I don't want you to be 368 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: there because you think you have to be there. Really 369 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: think about that with acceptance and acceptance again, is not 370 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: a permanent state. So you may get to acceptance in 371 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: a day and then you may feel in anxiety again 372 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: the next day. That's fine, but acceptance is a growing state. Again, 373 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: It's not permanent anything. When we're looking for permanent there's 374 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: nothing that has that permanent fixture for us when it 375 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: comes to our emotions, and that shouldn't worry us. It 376 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 1: should save us from the false expectation. The fourth stage 377 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: is adjusting and adapting. Now, this is where you should 378 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: be spending most of your time and where you want 379 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: to be. Where you're experimenting with morning routines, you're experimenting with, 380 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: trying out new workouts, you're experimenting with trying to find 381 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: your feet, and adjusting and adapting is something we find unnerving, 382 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: but actually we can find very exciting because you're constantly 383 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: trying to find out how to make this work and 384 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: how it fits and so so I feel like anxiety 385 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: was with me for about three days. For me, when 386 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: I first heard about all of this, I was anxious about, 387 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, how it would affect things, and trying to 388 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: figure it out. Anger. I've worked on feeling less and 389 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: less in life, but definitely can go inwards to be 390 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: aware of it. Acceptance. I've trained myself through this process 391 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: to get there quicker. Adjusting and adapting to the longest 392 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: period for me. So I feel like I was adjusting 393 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: and adapting for a good three weeks. For three weeks, 394 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: I didn't know what kind of routine I wanted, how 395 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to focus, And I found that having a 396 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: morning routine, having that certainty in your day is what 397 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: creates adjusting and adapting easy. So when you're doing the 398 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: adjusting and adapting mode, what you want to do to 399 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: get there is you want to create a stake in 400 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: the ground, one landmark thing that you do every day, 401 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: one landmark thing you do in the morning and in 402 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: the evening, one flagship thing, and that really allows that 403 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: to become easier. So in the anxiety phase, what you 404 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: want to do is you want to seek facts. When 405 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: we're anxious, you want to reset and seek facts. You 406 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: want to focus away from fiction, focus away from opinion. 407 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: You want to focus on facts. And that's what we 408 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: don't do in anxiety and anxiety. It's very natural to 409 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: go with opinions, it's very natural to get lost in ideas, 410 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: but actually an anxiety, what you want is facts. That's 411 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: how you solve anxiety and change. You move towards facts. Now, 412 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: when you're feeling anger, what do you do in anger? 413 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: In anger, you journal, You allow yourself to feel that pain, 414 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: but you try and direct it towards what's actually stopping you, 415 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: which will come back to yourself. So you want to 416 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: not direct anger to youwards yourself, but you want to 417 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: direct that reflection. So anger requires reflection and introspection in 418 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: acceptance to get there. What you want to do is 419 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: you want to start creating a real viewpoint now of 420 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: where you thinks are heading and adjusting and adapting. You 421 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: want to spend experimenting and exploring. And the fifth and 422 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: final step I call is action. This is when you 423 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: finally get it to a groove and you create a 424 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: plan and you start moving and making a difference in 425 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: your life and the lives of others. So the five 426 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: stages of managing any change or anxiety, anger, acceptance, adjusting 427 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: and adapting and action, and guess what, it's a cycle. 428 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: You are going to go through all of them multiple times. 429 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: Do not expect to get to action and then not 430 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: fall back into anxiety later that week, And that shouldn't 431 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: discourage you. It should make you feel like you have 432 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: a real plan. If you know that it's going to happen. 433 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: It's like you have to work out every day. You 434 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: know that you don't get to a particular type of 435 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: body or mind and then it just stays the same. 436 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: Right it doesn't work like that. And what I've been 437 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: blown away by right now is the best of humanity, 438 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: Like you know, the people that have not stopped living 439 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: because of the virus. And that's really the key to 440 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: managing change is that you find a new way to live, 441 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: and you find a new way to fall in love 442 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: with your life. And when I've seen people, I've seen 443 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: people like getting married on zoom. I've seen a person 444 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: who was disinfecting all of their FedEx packages when they 445 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: delivered them. I've seen someone who was in a church 446 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: just with their partner and they put pictures of all 447 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: of their family members around them and got married. I mean, 448 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: I've seen incredible things and it fills me with so 449 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: much joy and hope that people find ways to manage change. 450 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: And therefore, one of the best ways to manage change 451 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: is affection. Giving affection to others lets you feel like 452 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: you have a role, when you feel you're part of 453 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: the solution. It makes you feel like the problem is 454 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: getting smaller and smaller. When you're not a part of 455 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: the solution, the problem feels like it's getting bigger and 456 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger. So I really hope that you applied 457 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: this to right now. I hope you applied to any 458 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: change in your life.
