1
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: Dear wonderful listener. Yes, I'm talking to you. I am

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: sitting here in my kitchen table after working out. I'm

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: doing my journaling, and I came across the word stillness.

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: And if you guys hear oh yeahs in the background,

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: hands and stuff, that is Lucy, my housekeeper. She's amazing.

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: She makes my life better. She's here right now. And anyway,

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm sitting literally on my kitchen table. I like to

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: sit here because the sun just beams in so nicely.

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: I love natural sunlight, guys. So I love to sit

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: here because I get to look out the window. I

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: feel the sun. And I recorded my podcast from here,

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: like the first two seasons and a little bit of

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: this fourth season actually, and now we're at my office

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: down the street. But anyway, the point is I am

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: enjoying this beauty day. And of course I thought about you, guys,

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: because I came across the word stillness, and how uncomfortable

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: that it could be. Because I am feeling it right now.

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: I told myself, as some of you may know, that

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: I was going to take it slow this year and

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: do less so that I could have more mental clarity.

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: But with that also comes a lot of silence, and

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: I think I was used to the noise, and I

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: need noise from working and flying and traveling and just

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: being busy that it didn't give me a lot of

25
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: time to really think about certain things that have to

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: do with my relationship or my siblings, or my career

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: myself as a person. And right now that I have

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more time, I'm experiencing stillness, and it

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: is uncomfortable because we are constantly looking for the next thing.

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not

31
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: good for when we're trying to heal, I feel and

32
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: level up on a spiritual and emotional level because we

33
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: set those things to the side because we're focused on

34
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: what's in front of us. So I've been experiencing it,

35
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: and I've had rough days, and I thought I would

36
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: have less because I'm not as busy, but I am

37
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: growing and growing pains are uncomfortable, and I just want

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: to remind you, guys that I'm on this journey with

39
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: you and that I'm just like you, and I have

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: worries and concerns, and I cry, and I get frustrated

41
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: and I get sad out of nowhere, and I'm learning

42
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: to release and surrender those feelings to God, and now

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: in a different way. It's just so different. I don't

44
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: even know how to explain it. I think I have

45
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: to do a whole episode on Cheguz and chill about this.

46
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: But anyway, I want to paint the picture for you

47
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: and tell you that it's okay to be in silence,

48
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: and even if you feel lonely, you're never alone and

49
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 1: that's when we have to reach into our faith and

50
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: stretch it. If that makes sense. So let's stretch together. Guys,

51
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: we got this. I hope you have a beautiful day.

52
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. And I'm going to do one

53
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: of these in Spanish. People have been asking me, so

54
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: next one will be in Spanish. Lets get mutual and

55
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: undid that's all, guys, stillness, what does that mean to you? Sincerely,

56
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Janet eight
