It just means that you get the best 92 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: experience possible and that you are able to either leverage 93 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: that experience from your decision, leverage to go in the 94 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: direction you want to go in right talking about goals, 95 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: or you are able to obtain the intent of that decision. 96 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: And so again, my definition of good decision making based 97 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: on the results that I want to receive are going 98 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: to be different than anyone else's because the results that 99 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: we desire are different. And so for me, you know, 100 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: as a young ger, I just always been big on that, 101 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: and I went to school really first saying I'm going 102 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: to law school because I know I'd be really good. 103 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: I'm good with creating a narrative and telling a story 104 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: and people seeing it and really grabbing people their attention 105 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: and bringing them into my story and my narrative my world. 106 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: But am I really changing lives? Am I really saving lives? 107 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: Am I really having a legacy impact on people? And 108 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: not saying that attorneys can't have that right, but for 109 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: the level that I wanted to have the impact on 110 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: folks lives they didn't do it for me. And then 111 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: as soon as I went to that blank space, I 112 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: was saying, it's okay for us to be in, which 113 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: is actually the magical space, and we'll get into that. 114 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: That's where God was able to have my full attention. 115 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: He goes, Okay, you went blank on me. You emptied 116 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: out all of your broken ideologies and all of these 117 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: ideas you thought you'd have. Now I can really come 118 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: in and penetrate you. And so he started to show me 119 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: my broken pieces and I was like, oh. And then 120 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: he started to give me these different tools on how 121 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: to make peace from my broken pieces, and he goes, so, 122 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, what's up. What do you want? And I'm like, 123 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: I want everybody who I come in contact with to 124 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: feel what I call God's peace. And they can call 125 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: it whatever they want, as long as the end goal 126 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: is peace. For me, it's God's peace. I want them 127 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: to have that in their world because we are all 128 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: broken in some way. And if we can have a 129 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: shift in perception, which is America I call America just 130 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: a shift in perception, we can take our broken pieces 131 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: which we perceive to be broken, and then we can 132 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: find the peace out of it, and I go, well, 133 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: I got to go into the field that makes sense 134 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: for me, and that would be the study of behavior 135 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: and people and help them understand their self and help 136 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: them have a shift of perception so that they can 137 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: see their world in a way that would create the 138 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: experience that they want for themselves first and then they 139 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: can give that to other people. And the beautiful thing 140 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: about that was that God gave me the experience of 141 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: seeing my brokenness and allowed me to create right the 142 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: experience I want for myself. And so that I am 143 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: my academic and now that stuff is pretty cool. But 144 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: I am qualified by my brokenness and my pain that 145 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: I fuse with other people. I am qualified by the 146 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: peace that I've brought and I was able to create 147 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: from that. And so I'm not just speaking from you know, 148 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: credentials and accolades. And don't get me wrong, I love 149 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: on pro education. I think it's amazing. But I do 150 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: find that my experiences and my brokenness and me having 151 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: to been there, and the empathy versus sympathy I can 152 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: give my clients is where we fuse and it's where 153 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: I tend to heal and help them the most. And 154 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,119 Speaker 1: they say it, they say, doc, when you self disclosed 155 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: and you share your stories with us, which most therapists 156 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: and coaches don't. More therapists don't. Coaches do more, which 157 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: is what I am. They're like, that changes my life, 158 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: That makes me feel more more equal eye to eye 159 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: to you and lets me know that you're human and 160 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm able to relate more. And that's that's that's what 161 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: I want. I want to say, look at me, I'm 162 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: all I'm kookie too, and you know I'm crazy too. 163 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: And some of my screws I left them over there somewhere. 164 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: I can't find that and I don't want to put 165 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: them on today.

And I think I mean what you're. 169 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 4: Talking about here, Modeling that behavior is so important to 170 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 4: cultivate that safe space. And I also love what you 171 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: were talking about when you talked about shifting that perspective 172 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 4: which will get us here, lead us into this conversation 173 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 4: about goal setting. You set it right off the bat, 174 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 4: right after I introduced you that a huge issue that 175 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 4: many have with goal setting is that in order to 176 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 4: set goals. You have to start first with knowing who 177 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 4: you are and what it is that you want and. 178 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 3: Not having judgment. 179 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 4: Maybe if you can't really articulate that all that well 180 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 4: right from the get go. 181 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely and and that is the safe space. So the 182 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: safe space is exactly you know what I feel safe 183 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: enough to understand that I don't know who I am, 184 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what I want, and understand that not 185 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: everyone feels safe telling their buddies that, and then we 186 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: go further telling their you know, their coach or their therapist. Unfortunately, 187 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: that's where the safe haven is. I tell my clients 188 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: when you come in here, I have a commitment form 189 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: or an agreement forum that says that there's three commitments. 190 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: It's to be completely wide open and row right, to 191 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: be as honest as you can within your capacity so 192 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: we can only heal the truth, and to commit to 193 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: doing the work and just be authentic. 194 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 5: Right. 195 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: And so I think it's more important for people to 196 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: understand that you don't have to know what freaking goals 197 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: you have and when you try to create them from 198 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: the space of I just have to have goals. I 199 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: just have to have something that I want to do. 200 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: I have to have these three goals and it just 201 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: has to be there before I can even do anything. 202 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: You create resistance. You're also standing on a foundation that's 203 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: not authentically you. And so what happens is you start 204 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: to process and create these goals, and what happened you 205 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: get bored because it's not you. And I always tell people, 206 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: we don't go find our purpose, find yourself, and there's 207 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: your purpose. So if you're in that gray area saying 208 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what I want to do, that's because 209 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: you have not yet to find you. So that means 210 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: what you need to do in that space is create 211 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: this relationship with you. But it has to be a 212 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: real relationship, like who are you really? Right? What really 213 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: do you like? I don't care if it's quirky, if 214 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: it's against your family values, if it's outside of your 215 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: friendship norm if it's outside of your community societal norms. No, 216 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: who are you? And really love that person and start 217 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: to create this unconditional love for who you are? And 218 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: I promise, like magic, I'm talking about God's speed as 219 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: you start to know who who you are and love 220 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: whatever the heck comes up as you're you know, as 221 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: you are consistently or should I say, paralleling shifting or 222 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: changing what you don't like about yourself. All of a sudden, 223 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: you know what you love, You know who you want 224 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: to be, and then your goals are what gets you 225 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: to where you want to be and who you want 226 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: to be. Those things are easy to create once you 227 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: know who you are. But be okay with saying another 228 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: thing is I don't know. Another thing is you can 229 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: know who you are for forty years, okay, forty years. 230 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: This is who I've been, This is what I've stood on, 231 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: this is who I'm proud I have been proud to be. 232 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: And now I hit forty, forty five or fifty, and 233 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell I am because that 234 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: person I used to be I really don't want to 235 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: be anymore. I don't have any interest in any of 236 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: those things anymore. And so don't go into a dark space. 237 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: Don't go in, don't turn the lights off and go, 238 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I don't know. And I'm fifty and 239 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: I should know, and I'm forty five, and all of 240 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: a sudden I had it all together and I don't 241 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: guess what Welcome to life is all going to fall 242 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: apart A few times if it hasn't already for you 243 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: and you just didn't know that's what was going on. 244 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: But let it fall apart. Be excited about the fall apart, 245 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: because then you get to create and build anything that 246 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: falls apart, you have the opportunity to build, and you 247 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: get to pick the material like a home that you 248 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: want to build with. You get to interior decorate your 249 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: insize of who you want to be again. Perception, how 250 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: do you perceive your breaking down? Are you perceiving it 251 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: as the ultimate opportunity to build up everything you've always wanted? Right? 252 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: Are you perceiving it as, oh my god, I'm falling 253 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: apart and I won't know where to go from here? 254 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: When the you know the former answer, which is really 255 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: the truth. We're creators and like anything, you got to 256 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: build down, but you have to tear apart. I don't care. 257 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: If you have a beautiful, huge home and you want 258 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: to do new flooring, you got to tear that wood up. 259 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: But when that wood is being torn up and you 260 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: know this beautiful flooring that you picked out is going 261 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: in there, this marble granite flooring, You're like, can we 262 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: tear this thing up quicker? You can't wait and that 263 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: should be and that shit, that is a better perspective 264 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: to have that will give you the best experience of 265 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: your world is like, oh, this thing has fallen apart. 266 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: That means I get to feield something. 267 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 4: I love the idea of the fact that you may 268 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: have a very strong sense of self for a while, 269 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: but something could happen to shake that and it's okay 270 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 4: to do a little bit of that self inquiry and 271 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 4: kind of come back to start as long as you 272 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 4: have that perspective that what lies ahead of you could 273 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 4: also be just as beautiful as what you knew before. 274 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 4: I also think it's really important here to establish that 275 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 4: oftentimes if we don't know ourselves holy or we're not 276 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 4: really understanding, you know, who it is that we are 277 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 4: when we walk out the door in the morning, it 278 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 4: can lead to us like establishing goals that actually have 279 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 4: nothing to do with our own personal interests. Something I 280 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 4: talked a lot about in the show a few years 281 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 4: back was that, in finding and learn arning a lot 282 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 4: about myself, got really comfortable and excited about solo travel, right. 283 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 4: And I think that when you hear someone else is 284 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 4: really excited about this thing, it's easy to get like 285 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 4: wrapped up in that, and I would have listeners of 286 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 4: the show that would go on their own solo travel 287 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 4: and I could tell by the way that they were 288 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: sending me constant photos of it, dming with me during dinner. 289 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: My question to them and my challenge at times, was, hey, 290 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 4: take this time to be with yourself, like ask yourself, 291 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 4: like what is it from. 292 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: This experience that you want? Who are you right now? 293 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: And value that time because don't do something just because 294 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 4: you saw that I did it. Do something because you 295 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 4: you want to do it. 296 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: That was such great advice. I am the Otis of seven, 297 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: and I always tell my my siblings, especially my brother Shane. 298 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: I say, you know, baby, we're living years apart.

That's when the light went off. 339 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: Depression comes in, anxiety comes in, and unfortunately a lot 340 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: of people can't find the freaking light switch in the dark. 341 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: And for me, I'm going listen to my clients who 342 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: I invest everything I have into them, and again to 343 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: know my siblings and my brother I just I want 344 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: because I've learned to love myself unconditionally, I am able 345 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: to give them permission, not that they need my permission, 346 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: but I'm able to give them permission to choose a 347 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: blueprint that's unconditional for them, and I'm able to walk 348 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: that road side by side with them, and I'm able 349 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: to understand when they have to depart and do their 350 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: own thing. But you're one hundred percent right when I 351 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: learned that, you know, years ago as a young girl 352 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: that hey this road is kind of like I can 353 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: get lonely even when I'm a room full of a 354 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: room full of people, if I don't learn to create 355 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: a world and experience that really is beautiful for me, 356 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: me perfectly perfectly creating and custom for doctor Shyanne Bryant. 357 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: If I don't do that, this thing's gonna be really 358 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: really challenging. When I learned to do that, I am glowing, 359 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: and I am enjoy and I am in peace, whether 360 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: it's five hundred people in the room or it's just me, 361 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: because I've learned to fuse with the one person you 362 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: will never depart from, and that's yourself. 363 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 4: You're kind of like the flashlight in the dark room 364 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 4: for all of those people. Now, so we've established that 365 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 4: it's okay to maybe not know exactly who you are 366 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 4: and do some soul searching to figure that out. But 367 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: for those that can feel confident and where they are 368 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 4: who they are, we're talking about setting some goals. 369 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: Where does one even begin? 370 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love that. I love that question because 371 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm I always say words don't teach, experience does, and 372 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: so I'm like you, you know, I don't believe in 373 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: telling people what to do I believe in following up 374 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: with the how to write and then giving them the 375 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: experience because of how to give you experience and the 376 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: you know what to do just gives you obviously the 377 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: textual textbook you know tips on how to do it, 378 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: so how to do it again once you. Tip number 379 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: one is obviously to you know whatever it takes, take 380 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: a long walk, sit by yourself for thirty forty minutes. 381 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm big on meditation, but the thing is to sit 382 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: with self. Let whatever comes up comes up. Don't judge yourself. 383 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: Get in contact with your emotions and what you feel 384 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: and what feels good and what doesn't feel good, which 385 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: is getting to know yourself. That is tip number one 386 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: for everything in life, especially for setting goals, because then 387 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: you get to know who you are and what you 388 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: like and what you want. And then the second thing 389 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: is you write out a whole list on a piece 390 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: of paper. On the left side, you write down all 391 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: the things that make you feel good, all the things 392 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: that make you happy. On the left side you tie 393 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: into that what it would take to obtain those things. Okay, 394 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: the left side of what it would take to obtain 395 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: those things. After you get that, you say Okay, so 396 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: from a scale of one to ten, how much enjoyment 397 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: would I find in doing what it would take? Okay, 398 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: the things that are eight and up you keep on there. 399 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: The things that are eight and below get rid of them. 400 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: The things that are eight and above you tie them 401 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: to what you associated, what you love to do, and 402 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: you start to create a goal as to what would 403 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: that goal be. What would that look like? For example, 404 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: for me with my practice, I said, okay, I did 405 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: Monday through Sunday when I first started out, and I'm going, yep, 406 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: i want money through Sunday. I love what I do, 407 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: I want to do this, And then it changed over 408 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: the years. I'm going, no, I want Friday through Sunday 409 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: as my day's off. Even though I love what I do, 410 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: I want those days off and you Friday so I 411 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: could do all my interviews, I can do all my 412 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: podcast my publications, and the weekends to have to myself 413 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: so I can have a well balanced life. But see 414 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: how we spoke earlier. For about ten years, Monday through 415 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: Sunday was something I freaking loved. I couldn't go a 416 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: day without my clients. I mean, I didn't do it 417 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: for the money. I literally loved interacting and fusing and 418 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: helping my clients and being in session. Ten years later, 419 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, I changed as a person, as a woman. 420 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: I want it more me time. Now. There's going to 421 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: be times in the midst of doing your happy stuff 422 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,479 Speaker 1: that you may want to take a break, or you 423 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: may feel like, Okay, this is becoming a little redundant 424 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: because I'm doing the same thing. Take a break, That's okay. 425 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: But how you know if it's something that ignites you 426 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: is when you take a break, you miss it like 427 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: you will your partner you're in love with, like you 428 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: will someone you're dating, and you know the relationship is 429 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: in a healthy space. You may say I need my 430 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: me time, but your meantime only last is so long 431 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: before you miss that person. So I want you to 432 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: think of your goals as a relationship because it is 433 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: with yourself saying do I miss my goals, Like when 434 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: I go on vacation, I miss my clients. I've had 435 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: clients say, doctor Brant, you're in Africa, like, seriously, we're 436 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: not going to do sessions. And my client actually wanted 437 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: to coach row and said, no, I refuse to even 438 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: do sessions with the work when you're on vacation because 439 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: you give us so much. And I was a little 440 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: not okay with that because I missed my clients, you know. 441 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: But I say that to say I want you to 442 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: pay attention to how you feel about the goals that 443 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: you're doing. Because at the end of the day, everything 444 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: that we want, I eat. The goals that we set 445 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: is ticket is what we want. It's only for us 446 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: to feel a certain way, and that's just real. We're 447 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: not doing anything for any other payoff but to feel 448 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: good or feel happy. And this is why I always 449 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: tell my clients, I say, we have one goal. You 450 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: have one goal, and that's to be happy. Because if 451 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: your goal is to be happy all the time, and 452 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: happy doesn't mean you're out of ten all the time happy. 453 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: It can be you're out of six but you feel 454 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: really really good. You know you're out of seven, but 455 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: you feel super super balanced. You're not blasting with excitement, 456 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: but you're in extreme harmony and you feel so peaceful. 457 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: And this calmness is just giving you everything you need. 458 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: And so the key thing is to feel good about 459 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: your goals. Once you understand what makes you feel good, 460 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: then you start to ask yourself third tool and tip 461 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: is what is my payoff for this? What is my payoff? 462 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 1: For example, what is my payoff with me being in session, 463 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: with me being a doctor of psychology? My payoff is 464 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: not the fuduciary gain that I get. Is it good? 465 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 1: Of course, everyone wants to live a good call of life, 466 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: at least I do. But my payoff for me is 467 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: when my clients have breakthroughs, when my clients tell me, 468 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: do you change my life? My clients say, you know, 469 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: eight months ago, doctor Brant, you said, I'm going wow. 470 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: You remember eight months ago in our session what I said, 471 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: and I apply that, doctor Brant? You know what? You know? 472 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: I did those tips and tools and our marriage has changed. 473 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: What is your payoff? Right? And when your payoff is 474 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: something that lights you up, but even lightship to the 475 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: point where you feel emotional about it, that is a 476 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: goal for you. That is something that you should do 477 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: because that's that's going to recharge you as you are 478 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: putting out into whomoever whatever you're putting out to really quick, 479 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: and you want to make sure that you are not 480 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: recharging others while you are uncharging and depleting yourself, because 481 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: once you're on e you don't have anything else to give, 482 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: and guess what, you can't continue to work on those goals. 483 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: No matter what you do, it becomes extremely heavy, it 484 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: becomes extremely termocials, and it becomes rigorous for you to 485 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: be in it and listen. Forget the small goals right now. 486 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 5: The big goal, the overall goal that these little goals 487 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 5: are to you know, obtain or get you to, is happiness. 488 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: Are you freaking happy doing this? And if you're not, 489 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: don't be afraid of going it all the way. 490 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 4: Taking a break from today's episode to talk to you 491 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 4: about my sponsors.

What you 539 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 4: were saying about the fact that at one point a 540 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 4: goal can be good for you, and that doesn't mean 541 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 4: that you aren't or cannot go. 542 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 3: For a goal that might be a little bit bigger. 543 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like a great example of this 544 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 4: is when someone starts running, for example, and they set 545 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 4: a goal to run a mile. At that same time 546 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 4: they set a goal to run a marathon. Well, all 547 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 4: of the things on that list that would get them 548 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 4: to where they need to be to run the marathon 549 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 4: would feel completely bizarre and outlandish at that point, but 550 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 4: setting a goal to run one mile a couple of 551 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 4: days a week could be a process that that same 552 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 4: person would really enjoy. 553 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: Now that doesn't mean that there is never a marathon 554 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 3: in their life. 555 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 4: It just means that at that point, right then, right there, 556 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 4: they might find they may find a little bit more 557 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 4: enjoyment starting small, Which leads me into my next question 558 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 4: for you about kind of the sizes of our goals. 559 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 3: Right, we talked about a lot of small, little doables. 560 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 4: Would you say that there is a safe way to 561 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 4: set really big goals without setting really small goals or 562 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 4: how does someone even navigate something like that? 563 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: Totally? I think that it all depends on the person. 564 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: It all depends on how discipline a committed you've been 565 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: in the past to you know, completing your goals. I 566 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: think that for someone who you know just sets their 567 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: goals and they're very committed, they're very disciplined, they get 568 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: through them. Is someone who I would say, your only 569 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: problem is you're dreaming too small. Go big, go big, 570 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: go crazy, go big, go crazy. Stretch yourself. You have 571 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: the discipline, apply the discipline to the big goals as 572 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: you have been the small goals, and go big. Why 573 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,239 Speaker 1: are you going small now? For someone who and this 574 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: person is no you know, less or better than the 575 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: person the person I just described, But for someone who 576 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: just doesn't yet have the discipline, the obedience and that 577 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: commitment to you know, complete their goals, go small. Because 578 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: what happens is as we complete our goals, we become empowered. 579 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: And so the idea is, if you can empower yourself, 580 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: which is the belief in yourself to say I can 581 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: do this, you start to exercise your commitment muscle, your 582 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: discipline and obedience muscle. And the idea is to get 583 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: that muscle so big that it has muscle memories like 584 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: our real muscles do in our body, and you no 585 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: longer have to really exercise it. That muscle shows up 586 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: in both when it's time to go and when it's 587 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: game time. The muscle shows up, like you know, the 588 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: person like myself, I shouldn't go oriented in the senses. 589 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: I can create a huge goal and I just am 590 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: buried commit it and I go and kill it. But 591 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: I haven't always been that way right. When I would 592 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: say a teenage girl or in my first years of 593 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: undergrad college, I would create get certain classes or create 594 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: certain goals, and then I'd be like, if, ah, I 595 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: doing this no more? Right? Keyword though, Emily, I don't 596 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: feel like doing this. No more. Commitment is not a feeling. 597 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: Commitment is doing what you said you would do regards 598 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: of how you feel. That's when you know you're ready 599 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: for the big, big, big I call the big dog 600 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: goals or small dog goals and big dog goals. The 601 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: big dog goals say, no matter what I do, if 602 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: I create a goal, I'm committed and no matter what 603 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 1: it takes, I'm getting to the finish line of that 604 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: marathon you just mentioned. Right, The small dog goals say, 605 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,959 Speaker 1: you know what, back to what you said, Emily, let 606 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: me start off with half a mile, let me start 607 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: off with maybe even a lap. Don't judge yourself. So 608 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,239 Speaker 1: what the point and idea is to complete that at 609 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: what you're setting. If you're in, if you're the small dog, right, 610 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: complete that what you're setting so you can be empowered 611 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: to do more, and do not compare yourself to others, 612 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: and don't judge yourself because Listen, you're building a muscle, 613 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: and just focus on the fact that as I build 614 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: this muscle, I get to graduate and become this big dog. 615 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: And when you're in the big dog failed, I'm telling you, 616 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: it's a world that is there's empowerment everywhere, and so 617 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: you're fused by everyone. It's just the truth. But it 618 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you're a little dog in the sense 619 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: that you won't be able to even surpass some of 620 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,479 Speaker 1: the big dogs, because that's where the underdog comes in 621 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: at and you're like, oh, whoa, the underdog is now 622 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: winning super Bowls. 623 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 3: Right on that note of the journey. 624 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 4: Even for some of us who may feel a little 625 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 4: bit more comfortable being a big dog and dreaming big, 626 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 4: of course, there are the occasional hurdles that pop up 627 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 4: that are unexpected or ones that really knock us down 628 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 4: and perhaps prevent you from going after that initial big goal. 629 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 4: So what advice do you offer to individuals who do 630 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 4: come across these unexpected hurdles and how can they keep 631 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 4: or search for seek out that positive mindset that they're 632 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 4: going to need to get back up and stand on 633 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 4: their own two feet. 634 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: Get a coach. More than that, get an effective life 635 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: coach or a therapist who can do it. Get an 636 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: effective coach who can see your authenticity, who can see 637 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: inside of you some of the parts that you've turned off. 638 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: Because the idea of an effective coach is we go in, 639 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: we grab and sometimes you guys are uncomfortable with us 640 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: being in there, but it doesn't matter. That's our job. 641 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: And we pull out the beautiful stuff that you go, well, 642 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: that's not me, and we're like, yeah, look at this. 643 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: That is you. Wow, look at this. You can do it. 644 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: You've done it before you've even completed it. And guess what, 645 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: I got your back. I'm going to give you tools 646 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: to do it. Let's go. That's not what commitment is. 647 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: You can't stop when you don't feel good. That's how 648 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: you create that empowered, positive mindset that you're referring to. 649 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: And I want to say for those who cannot afford 650 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: a coach, because my thing is it's a human right 651 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: for every single person who has air to have a 652 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: good quality of life. Okay, not everybody can afford a coach. 653 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: And I don't want to be that coach that says, 654 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: get a coach you can't afford it. I don't know 655 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: you're just crap out of love. That's not true. You 656 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: can't afford a coach, right, or maybe you can and 657 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: you're still in that indecisive gray area mode. That's okay. 658 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: Celebrate yourself where you are, or go to YouTube and 659 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: go to YouTube is free and you watch. I have 660 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: a Doctor Bryant channel that you can watch many of 661 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: my videos. I am a fan of Abraham Hicks. I 662 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: watch her like crazy. She's like go to when I'm 663 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: feeling like one of my screws is lost, Bishop Tdjakes. 664 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: If you want to go to the more religious aspect 665 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: of it, if you want to go spiritual, it's Abraham Hicks. 666 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: And when you go to YouTube you see many other 667 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: things that are there. Click on what works for you. 668 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: If it works for you, you allow it to penetrate 669 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: you until it no longer works. That means it can 670 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: work for five years, twenty years, five months. If you 671 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: have grown with that thing that works and outgrown it, 672 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,479 Speaker 1: starts to seek something else that you can that keeps 673 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: your mind somewhere. Listen, I've been doing this work for 674 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: thirteen years, and I've had a huge transition from my 675 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: broken pieces to pieces, probably about ten years ago. And 676 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: even in my ten years of work. And I do 677 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: work every day. Every morning I wake up, I meditate 678 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: first for twenty minutes, and then I get my coffee. 679 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: I do my evening or afternoon runs, whatever that looks like. 680 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: I see my clients. I do a lot of audio books. 681 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: I listen to my Abraham Hicks, my Tdjakes. My point 682 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: is I do an overwhelmingly amount of healthy work on myself. 683 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: Still now my work now isn't me getting anywhere? My 684 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: work now? Is me maintaining where I'm at because I 685 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: freaking love it here. It's peaceful, it's amazing, and guess 686 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: what I created it? So no matter where I go, 687 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: I bring that at which I need with me to 688 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: the party, to the boardroom, to the park, to the household, 689 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: wherever I'm at. But I still have to do my work, 690 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: and Emily, when I go a couple of days which 691 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: I usually don't but I try not to do without meditating, 692 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: or I don't do what is therapeutic for me, my 693 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: three mile run multiple times a week. If I don't 694 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: get my me time to empty out the dumping of 695 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: what came in, I feel it and what does that 696 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: look like on me? I want to tell your listeners 697 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: because it looks very similar on them as well. I 698 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: get a little bit short tempered, I get a little antsy, 699 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: I get kind of fatigue. I start to feel fall brain, 700 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: I start to feel out of alignment, which means I'm 701 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: feeling discord within myself. How do you know when you're 702 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: in discord? Because you start to have resistant a little 703 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,280 Speaker 1: bit of combative engagements with people, whether it be your parents, 704 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: your friends, or the person outside. You can feel yourself 705 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: project onto people what the heck you're going through. And 706 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: when I feel myself get a little upset at the 707 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: person driving too slow, I go, mm hmm, it ain't them. 708 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,919 Speaker 1: Check yourself. You need a little more on me time. 709 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 1: Maybe you need to go for that three mile run. 710 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: Maybe you need to meditate, because you have meditated in 711 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: two days. It goes back to self. And when I 712 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 1: take accountability, I'm able to shift and make my road 713 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: and my experience what I want it to be. No 714 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: one has that control, and so be okay with that, 715 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: and make sure you're tapping in with self all the time, 716 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: and make sure you're doing daily not yearly, daily checking 717 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 1: hey how I'm doing? You know, I say, hey, Hey, Shi, 718 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 1: Shai is my name, and hey, hay Shi, how you feeling? 719 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: You know, I don't feel like you smile and an 720 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: the inside and I go, okay, let me smile. But 721 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: I check in with me all day, Emily, Are you okay? 722 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: I am you sure? Do you need a break? I don't. 723 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 3: I love what you said just there. 724 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 4: And I think that also when it comes to these 725 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 4: hurdles that we might face, you reiterating that asking for 726 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 4: help is important. I remember, I think it was this 727 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 4: morning that I was watching the Today Show and there 728 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 4: was a segment on men's health and just the alarming 729 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 4: statistics that so many men don't even seek out like 730 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 4: a general care their primary care physician during the year 731 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 4: because it's almost as though they feel as though checking 732 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 4: in on their body is them doing too much or 733 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 4: needing that, you know, all of branch, when that's not 734 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 4: the truth at all. The same goes for our mental health, 735 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,439 Speaker 4: and when, especially when we're talking about goal setting here, 736 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 4: is that it's just so integral at one point or 737 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 4: another when things aren't going your way, to say, hey, 738 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 4: like I need to do a debrief, I need to 739 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 4: dive into what's happening here, and just you know, have 740 00:38:59,320 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 4: some grace. 741 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: That entire process one hundred percent, you know, which you said, 742 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: is so powerful. There's power in asking for help, and 743 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: there's power in receiving that help. Okay, you want to 744 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: go fast, go alone, you want to go far, go 745 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: as a team. Be easy on yourself and allow yourself 746 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: to just feel. Another thing is you know, sometimes you 747 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: don't need to do anything. Sometimes you don't need to 748 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,240 Speaker 1: run that mile. Sometimes it's not time to set any goals. 749 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: It's time to do nothing at all and allow yourself 750 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: to be okay in that space. And when I say 751 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: do nothing, I'm not saying do nothing for months, to 752 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 1: do nothing for weeks. I'm saying, give yourself the day, 753 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: if you may need the week to say, you know, 754 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do nothing but be in my pajamas. I'm 755 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: gonna drink my coffee, my tea, and I'm gonna sit 756 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: in my emotions and I'm going to really get in 757 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: contact and fuse with myself. That week can catapult you 758 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: five years ahead. That's where people don't understand. This is 759 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: not about who can work the hardest, who can kill 760 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: themselves with this work ethic that just drives them in 761 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: the ground. That's not a good quality of life. That's 762 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: imbalanced or unbalanced, and it's unhealthy. The idea is, you know, 763 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: how can I it's the law of non resistance. How 764 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 1: can I do less and get more? That doesn't mean 765 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: you're cheating people what they get from you. That's not 766 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 1: what it means, or even yourself. That means how can 767 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: I make my mind? How can I make my law 768 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: of attraction calibrate and work for me? Because we are 769 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: attracting things, we are not outfinding things. Finding is exhausting, 770 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: that's called doing. Attracting is empowering, that's called being. And 771 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 1: when you are just being, you will attract everything of 772 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,720 Speaker 1: who you are, because we attract who we are despite 773 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: of who we think we are. So if you really 774 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: want to do an assessment and a measurement on what 775 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: the heck is going on with you inside internally, just 776 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: seek nothing, attract everything, and then look at it as 777 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: observer and go, oh, okay, so I'm attracting this, or 778 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: maybe argumentative people, or I'm attracting givers or I'm attracting takers, 779 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: And then you go, okay, that's what I am, and 780 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: don't deny it, just say that's what I am. Don't 781 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: beat yourself up and write it down on a piece 782 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: of paper and say, I don't want to be this, 783 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: but I do love being this. So let me calibrate different. 784 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: Let me take that out of my calibration and my 785 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: energetic whirlpool. Because all we're doing are these We're these 786 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: little you know, calibrators who attracts who we are. And 787 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: guess what we do. We throw out who we are, 788 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: so we attract and we project, and we see in 789 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: others who we are, not who they are. So start 790 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: to look at people. This is a good homework for 791 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: all of your hurdlers. Look at I want you to 792 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: take inventory, right, I want you to take a piece 793 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: of paper out and start to take five people in 794 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: your world, and I want you to write down what 795 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 1: you see in them, and don't be biased good and bad, 796 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: because whatever you see in them is really what you 797 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: see in you. Because we see in others who we are, 798 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: not who they are. And write that down and then 799 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: look at it and take inventory and go, Okay, I'm 800 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: a little funky over here, I'm killing it over here, 801 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing my thing. And then just take that list, 802 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 1: work on it. And I want you to create goals 803 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: from that list as to Okay, my goal is to 804 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: become more of these things that I really love. And 805 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't want you to even focus on the things 806 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: that you don't because what we focus on magnifies. Don't 807 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: water the plant, we don't want to grow. Throw all 808 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: those things away that you don't like in the people 809 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: that you are around, because member, that's who you are, 810 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: not them. But then focus and make goals that say, 811 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to be more smiley, I'm going to be 812 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: more I'm going to be more compatible with people. I'm 813 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: going to be more of an EBB and flow with people. 814 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: When I have a difference in it opinion, I'm going 815 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,280 Speaker 1: to start to say, you know, you made a good point. However, 816 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: you know I think it would look better this way. 817 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: Know how to approach. If that's something on your list 818 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 1: that you find in someone else you like, that means 819 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: you got it too. And then celebrate yourself. You know 820 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: we will. You can't beat yourself down and build yourself 821 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: up at the same time. And I tell my clients, 822 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: so you got to choose one. So if you choose 823 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,919 Speaker 1: build yourself up, then let's celebrate ourselves. Let's celebrate when 824 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: we are bold enough and we love ourself enough Emily 825 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: to take a day or two or a week off, 826 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: that's something to be proud of. You know what. I 827 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: allow myself to take a couple of days off, and 828 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: I allow myself to be okay with it. Celebrate that, 829 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,280 Speaker 1: and then the days when you know, I was totally 830 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: committed because I didn't feel like doing any of this, 831 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: but I did it all. And I deserve a glass 832 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: of wine tonight. I deserve to be in my pj's 833 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: and watch my show. Maybe I want to have a 834 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: two hour conversation with my girlfriend about absolutely nothing. I 835 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: deserve that. That is celebration, and for me, I deserve 836 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: to have a week in vacation like Emily does solo. 837 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: Then do that, embrace it, and be celebratory the entire 838 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: time that you're doing it. We have to learn to 839 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: feel good about ourselves, especially women and especially men who 840 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 1: are which statistically has proven men who don't not only 841 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: ask for help, but they don't open and not open 842 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: to receiving help. They have to start to celebrate that 843 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: vulnerable space of them asking for help right and then 844 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 1: receiving it and being grateful and okay with it and 845 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: not feeling less than our week because you receive something 846 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: that society or learned behavior taught you you should be 847 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: able to do on your own. That's not true. 848 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean you're leading us right into where 849 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 4: I wanted to kind of wind down our conversation today, 850 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 4: which is on this note of celebration and making the 851 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 4: time to recognize that work that you have done to 852 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 4: get to where you want to be. 853 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 3: So, what advice do you have for anyone who is in. 854 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 4: This phase, right in this phase of completing their goal, 855 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 4: how do they proceed from there? 856 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: Totally? You know there's milestones in the middle of your goal, 857 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: and say your goal takes four steps, you should have 858 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: a plan that says, hey, on step number two, I'm 859 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 1: turning up on step number four, I'm going to celebrate 860 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: like crazy, and then celebrate in ways that recharge you, 861 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: that make you feel like a powerhouse, that make you 862 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: feel so loved. And the key thing to celebration is 863 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 1: to surround yourself with people who celebrate you too, not 864 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 1: just merely tolerate you. And you don't have to shift 865 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: who you are when you walk in the room. Be 866 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: a stirty Oaks, so that when you walk in the room, 867 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: the furniture comes to you, and that not from an 868 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: arrogant space. All that means, Emily is find folks that 869 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,760 Speaker 1: are compatible and conducive to you. Because if they're compatible 870 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: and conducive to you, guess what you're compatible conducive to them. 871 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: That's called alignment. We now got harmony. It doesn't matter 872 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: if you got too crazy people, to boring people, to 873 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: allow people introvert, to introvert to people. Find your tribe 874 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: and go there and celebrate there and talk about all 875 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,879 Speaker 1: your goals and everything you're doing and how amazing it is. 876 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,879 Speaker 1: And make sure that the number one person that you're 877 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: talking to and that you're having a relationship with and 878 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 1: that you are allowing to celebrate you as a person 879 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: you're never depart from. And that's yourself. And so everything 880 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: goes back to self. Learn how to feel really good 881 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: about everything you do, even when nobody's cheering for you, 882 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 1: even when nobody gets it and when they don't agree 883 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: with it. There is a really special balance that I 884 00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: try to teach all the time, and people always go, 885 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: that's hard, doctor b I say, you have to learn 886 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 1: the balance of really really caring for people and about people. 887 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 1: But not giving the damn about how they feel about you. 888 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: Not an easy space to obtain. But once you're there, man, 889 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: you're in the money. You're in the money because then 890 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: you can say, you know, I love you, Emily, I 891 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: care about you, I got your back, You're my girl, 892 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: but you don't influence my value. And that would be 893 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: the healthiest, the epitome of a healthy friendship. But that's 894 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: also also the peak of emotional intelligence, which is a 895 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: whole other show. 896 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 4: It's another episode that will do next month.
