They give you a mantra, you know, 78 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 4: and it really helped me in so many different ways. 79 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: It helped me get centered. You know, I think it's 80 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: really normal in our industry for us to get anxious, right, 81 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 4: you know, for anxiety to be so prevalent in our 82 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: industry and in life, right, that's you know, obviously. 83 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: A byproduct of stress. Right. 84 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: And so I learned how to do that and it 85 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 4: and it also helped me in my in my acting 86 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 4: as well.

Right, you don't know if other people on 93 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: set are disturbing your peace. You know, there's a multitude 94 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 4: of different elements that could affect that. And thus I 95 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 4: feel could affect your performance, you know. And I found 96 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 4: that meditation really helped me get centered, uh and help 97 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 4: me get focused enough that if any of that tried 98 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: to come into my space, I had the tools to 99 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 4: be able to deflect from that. 100 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: Uh.

So I understand. Yeah. 463 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: And it's also you know, this goes beyond our culture too, 464 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: to your point. 465 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: You know, I mean, there's so many cultures out there 466 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 3: that have had to you know, keep their head down 467 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: and keep digging, you know, and discourse for anyone. It 468 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 3: doesn't matter if you're white, if you're black, if you're brown, 469 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 3: if you Asian.

It just feels like this 475 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 3: is a moment where you can allow yourself to love 476 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 3: yourself a little harder than before. Just love yourself a 477 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 3: little harder, you know, you need to take a nap. 478 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: Take a nap, right right, simple example. 479 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 3: It's like, if we can make it obtainable and make 480 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 3: it attainable, you know, and I think about also, you know, 481 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 3: our ability to pass down to the next generation the 482 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 3: tools they need to continue to you know, outlive tyranny, 483 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 3: you know, to continue to move forward and disrupt and 484 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: and build and in order if we're going to go 485 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: and disrupt and build a new you know, a new marketable, 486 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 3: equitable place for our culture, you know, we're gonna have 487 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: to take care of some things, you know, because we're 488 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 3: gonna continue to take some hits on the way. 489 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: There.
