1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: I like to call it the Pie of life. I

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: just started couple's therapy and it's helped me a lot,

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: because this is what helps us as individuals become our

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: best selves. Those are the five physical, emotional, social, spiritual,

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: and intellectual. And I like to add rest. That's something

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: that I learned in twenty eighteen, the importance of rest.

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Even if you don't have someone in your life right now,

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: I think it's good to get yourself ready for that person,

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: for you to become the person that you want to attract.

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: What up, guys, Happy Monday to everyone listening to the

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: podcast on a Monday. I hope you all had a

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: really safe and fun Halloween. I definitely did. I had

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: a great time, and I'm looking forward to the next

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: big holiday, Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. So I'm so excited

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: to spend some quality time with the people who matter

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: the most to me. Anyway, on today's episode, we're going

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: to be talking about something I learned about in therapy.

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: It's called the Pie of a life. That's what I

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: call it. It's really the aspects of being human. I

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: thought it'd be really interesting and it's helped me a lot,

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: so I wanted to share it with you, guys, So

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: let's get into it. This is Cheeky's and chill, Okay,

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: So I like to call it the Pie of Life,

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: but it is really aspects of being human. They gave

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: me this chart or this It literally looks like a

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: pie and it's sliced in five pieces and I'll explain

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: to you what each section is. I just started a

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: couple's therapy with a medium and it's really helped me.

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: It's helped me a lot because this is what helps

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: us as individuals become our best selves. And it's crazy

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: because before knowing about this Pie of life or this

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: aspects of being human, I was already doing it. So

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: it's just confirmation to me that I am very intuitive.

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: I am a person that listens to her body and

35
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: I know what's going on and I know what makes

36
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: me feel good. So it made me very very happy

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: to know that this exists out there, that there is

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: a chart for it, and so I wanted to share

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: it with you guys, because I think it's super important.

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to make this episode as short and sweet

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: as possible because I just want to give you the

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: information and for you to go out in the world

43
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: and try your best to use it on a daily

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: basis so that you can find balance in your life.

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about, finding balance. I always talk

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: about balance because it is so important. So with that

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: being said, so the aspects of being human and this

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: pie of life that I like to call it, it's

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: the physical part, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual. I would

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: like to recreate the pie of life the aspects of

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: being human in six parts. I feel like rest is

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: a very important and essential part of living and becoming

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: a successful best version of yourself. Rest. So in my

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: pie of life and the one I just invented right now,

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: it has all these things I just mentioned, but also

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: it has rest. So I wish I could show you

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: guys what it looks like. But basically the physical aspect,

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: for instance, I always tell you guys, this working out

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: sweating on a daily basis is very very important. This

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: is stuff that you guys are going to do as

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: an individual. So what my therapist said was, I need

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: you guys to work and to strengthen yourself as an

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: individual so that you guys can come together in Medio

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: and I and have a good partnership. It's all about

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: strengthening yourself as an individual. So this is for you

66
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: as a person, okay, and then you put it into

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: your relationship and so on and so forth. So physical aspect.

68
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: The physical aspect is working out, is sweating, is taking

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: the time to exercise your body, to move your body

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: as much as possible. I try to do three to

71
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: five times a week. Sometimes I don't even do one

72
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: because I'm so busy or I'm just so exhausted. But

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: I then feel the difference when I don't work out,

74
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: because yes, I want to look better, I want to

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: lose weight, but also it makes me feel better mentally physically, emotionally,

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: you're releasing endorphins, You're releasing toxins when you sweat. So

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: physical activity is very important, at least twenty minutes a day,

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty forty five minutes. It's important and essential

79
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: for the balance, emotional balance more than anything. Then you

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: have the emotional aspect. What is that that is I

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: would say going to therapy, you know what I mean,

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Doing something that is connecting you to your emotions, not

83
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: ignoring your emotions. A lot of people want to go

84
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: through life and ignore I'm feeling this, I'm feeling that

85
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm sad. Some people don't even want to say the

86
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: word depressed or anxiety because that's a sign of quote

87
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: unquote weakness. But that's not the truth. That is absolutely false.

88
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: If you can't afford therapy, then it's reading a book,

89
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: it's being connected in some way with your emotions, expressing

90
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: to a friend, you know what I mean, Like releasing yourself,

91
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: releasing these emotions and not holding them inside. That's a

92
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: huge part of your mental health and your emotional health

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: by releasing and expressing your emotions. Okay. Spirituality it's another one. Praying, meditating,

94
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: whatever that means to you. Going to church, Catholic, Christian,

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: whatever church and religion you go to, is just having faith,

96
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: being connected on a daily basis. Spirituality is important. Spirituality okay,

97
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: So again this is stuff that we should try to

98
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: do every day. Okay, So we have the physical, emotional,

99
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: and spiritual. I'm not saying to go to therapy every

100
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: single day. What I'm saying is being connected with your emotions,

101
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: like tapping in with yourself is what I mean. Tapping in, Hey,

102
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: how do I feel today? I'm feeling this? Okay, cool,

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this to the side. I'm gonna focus

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: on this, but it's like tapping in with yourself and

105
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: then spirituality. I always say, start your day connecting to

106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: the higher power, having faith. Social that's another thing, having

107
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: some type of social life. This is where the balance

108
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: comes in, where it's yes, you gotta work hard, but

109
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: also you have to balance your life with having being

110
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: connected socially with either a friend or your family or whatever.

111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: Having that part of your life like saying, Okay, I

112
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: work Monday through Friday and then on the weekends, I'm

113
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna spend time with my loved ones. I'm gonna go

114
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: see my mom, I'm gonna go whatever. It's having that

115
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: social aspect of your life, especially in a relationship you guys,

116
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: because that was a huge one because I'm more social

117
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: than Emilio is. I'm more of like, oh, I have

118
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: dinner with my friends. I plan that I thrive on

119
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: connecting with my friends, on having connections. That's where the

120
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: social part comes in. Emilio is not as social as

121
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: I am, and the therapist was saying, you know, you

122
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: really need to tap into your social like if she

123
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: goes out with her friends, it's okay for you to

124
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: go out with your friends. That's all healthy, you know

125
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like being healthy and being our best

126
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: selves individually so that we can come back to each

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: other and appreciate each other even more. So then we

128
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: have intellectual reading a book, feeding your soul. I always

129
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: tell you guys, knowledge is power. Knowledge is power. That

130
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: can also mean taking courses on your craft, you know,

131
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: learning more about your craft or your job or whatever,

132
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: or even something that you want to learn in the future,

133
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: even if you have a job wherever. It may be

134
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: a nine to five, but at night you're like, Okay,

135
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a little online course or I'm

136
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: going to read a book on something I'm interested in.

137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it could be anything, you know

138
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's really tapping into being intentional with

139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, learning and growing and feeding your mind. You know.

140
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: That's something that I will admit I used to do

141
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: a lot more was reading books at night instead of

142
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: watching TV. I would read a book and Emilia and

143
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: I want to start that again. It's crazy because we're

144
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: doing couples therapy with my therapist that I see like

145
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: on my own and then her husband. They have like

146
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: this whole thing where they do couples therapy like restoring

147
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: relations and stuff, so it's premarital. I think it's super important,

148
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: you guys know. I'm a huge advocate for that. So

149
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: it's crazy because I've learned so much with her as

150
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: an individual individually like therapy, and now I'm learning so

151
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: much more now that it's like all of us in

152
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: one room. It's four of us, and we talk about

153
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: so many things and they share so many things. So

154
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: I had forgotten that side of myself, Like I'll read

155
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: like when I'm on an airplane and stuff like that.

156
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Like I love to read, but before I used to

157
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: read so much more. Like when they say kids read

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: at least half an hour a day, like adults do

159
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: it too. We need to not forget to read books,

160
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: you guys, Like, it is so important to feed our

161
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: mind instead of just watching TV at night. The last

162
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: thing we should do is read something and not just

163
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: be on social media and look at all this other stuff.

164
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: It's read and like, really try to feed your mind

165
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: and your soul, you know. So those are the five right,

166
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: It's physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual. And I like

167
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: to add rest. That's something that I learned in twenty eighteen.

168
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: The importance of rest. Yes, you can work hard, but

169
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: you should also rest. Know what that is. I come

170
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: from a background with my family that it's the harder

171
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: you work, the more valuable you are, the cooler you are.

172
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: It's you gotta work, work, work, work, work, like to

173
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: the bone, and f vacations and f this and f that.

174
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. With me, I feel like it changed.

175
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 1: Even my mom was like that. My mom was like,

176
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wake up at five. She wouldn't really rest.

177
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: She would work till really late, and then again same thing.

178
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: And we would go on vacations and she didn't know

179
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: how to just turn off. And sometimes I find myself

180
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: doing that. And the one that brings me back is

181
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: in medio is like, hey, like put your phone down

182
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: for a second, like be present. And I'm like, oh shit,

183
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: you're right because I'm a hippie. You know, Jane's a hippie.

184
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: You guys. When it comes to Cheeky, Cheeky's is more

185
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: of like work work, like I gotta do videos, I

186
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: gotta do this. But like sometimes I feel like Cheeky's

187
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: will get into Janey's mind. You know, I know this

188
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: sounds weird, but it's the truth. I have to remind

189
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: myself and bring myself back. So I'm really grateful that

190
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: a media reminds me of that. And I I want

191
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: to remind you guys and let you guys know that

192
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: it is okay to just rest, even if you don't

193
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: go on a vacation. For you just to say I'm

194
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: not doing anything but going to church on Sunday and

195
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: relaxing at home and just taking time to recharge my batteries.

196
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: That is also a part of my job now. It

197
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: is an essential part of my job. For me. It's

198
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: like now I'm starting to unwind. It's the end of

199
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: the year, Like I want to unwind. I want to

200
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: work less, but the days that I work make them

201
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: count because I want to prepare myself for the new

202
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: year that's coming. So a lot of people don't understand that.

203
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, well, you got to work, work, work.

204
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: It's like, yes, like don't lose a momentum. Yes, I

205
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: don't want to lose a momentum. But I also in

206
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: order to have momentum in order for me to be

207
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: my best self, I need to slow my freaking breaks.

208
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: You know, I need to wait, pop my breaks, let

209
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: me enjoy the moment, let me enjoy my home, Let

210
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: me get myself aligned again in order to give you

211
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: my best. So some people don't understand that. People that

212
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: I work with and I think slowly, I always tell

213
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: them like, hey, you need to rest, like turn off

214
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: your phone. Don't answer me like it's okay, Like take

215
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: a weekend, go hang out with your family, because that

216
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: is so important, you guys. So I've learned that yes,

217
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: it's good to work hard and to be a hustler, absolutely,

218
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: but also to enjoy your life and what you work

219
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: so hard for. So now my motto is I want

220
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: to work smarter, not harder. And I grew up learning

221
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: work as hard as you can to the bone because

222
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: that is what people respect. And yes, I respect that,

223
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: but I also don't want to miss everything else, like

224
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: my family. And like when they say stop and smell

225
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: the roses, you guys, really like it's like, wait, take

226
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: a moment. You're busy, busy, busy on your phone, working

227
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: work and working, but wait, stop, put your phone down

228
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: and look at the sky and literally smell the roses.

229
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: Stop and just admire what's around you. It's all about balance.

230
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: And that's what this episode is all about. It's finding

231
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: the balance in your life and doing a little bit

232
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: of this, a little bit of that in order for

233
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: you to feel that's how you're going to feel whole.

234
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Then it's going to take time, you guys. It's not

235
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: something that's going to happen from one day to another.

236
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: It takes practice, it takes you. Being intentional. That's another

237
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: word that I love on the podcast. It's being intentional

238
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: doing things with intent for you. It's like not just

239
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: by accident or by chance. No, it's I choose to

240
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: do this. I choose to want to do this, you

241
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's choosing. It's being intentional. Going

242
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: back to the pie of life that I like to

243
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: call it, Emilia and I. He has one and I

244
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: have one. It's the same one, but they gave us

245
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: one each. And I think it's super important. Even if

246
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: you don't have someone in your life right now, I

247
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: think it's good to get yourself ready for that person,

248
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: for you to become the person that you want to attract.

249
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: And this is a huge part of it. It's having

250
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: all these pieces that are essential in order for you

251
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: to have the best future. By yourself and with someone else.

252
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: Not feeling like you need someone else to come and

253
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: complete this pie. You complete it yourself, and then that

254
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: person that comes into your life is just what my

255
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: mom used to call it dessert, you know what I mean,

256
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: Like you have your full course meal, which is what

257
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: all these things that I just mentioned, and the person

258
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: that comes into your life is hopefully also whole in

259
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: these things, which is why it's important for Amilia and

260
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: I to really just be as healthy as we possibly

261
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: can individually by ourselves, so that that way we can

262
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: be our best selves together for each other. And I

263
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: think that if you can do this, a little bit

264
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: of it every day would be great, if not throughout

265
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: the week. There's seven days in a week, so it's

266
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: just really figuring out what works best for you and

267
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: trying to do a little bit of it every day,

268
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: if not throughout the seven days of the week that

269
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: makes sense, and making the seventh day your rest day,

270
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, where it's like I'm gonna rest,

271
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna detox whatever however it looks. It's not right

272
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: or wrong. It's whatever works best for your lifestyle, for

273
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: your job, but always keeping in mind, Okay, I'm feeling

274
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: a little and easy. I'm feeling I have a little anxiety,

275
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: maybe jumping on the treadmill. You haven't done that for

276
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: a few days, Try doing that. Like that happened to me,

277
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: you guys, Like I was so busy, I've been so

278
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: busy for the past like two months, that I felt

279
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: like I was becoming a little lazy with my meditation,

280
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, not waking up early enough to really do

281
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: my meditation the way I like. And it was I

282
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: felt very imbalanced, and I started feeling very irritable, like

283
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: very overwhelmed. And when I have my shit together, when

284
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing all these things that I just mentioned as

285
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: often as I possibly can, I feel aligned. I feel

286
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: like I am connected to the earth and to the sky,

287
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: to the heavens, you know. And that's what it's about.

288
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: It's like really being grounded and grounding yourself and praying

289
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: and being spiritually connected, and you just feel better in

290
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: every single way. And when I do this and I

291
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: follow this the aspects of being human, I feel balanced,

292
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: and I feel happier, and I feel more joyful, more hopeful.

293
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you and I'm sharing this because it's

294
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: also something that I want to this episode, I want

295
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: to also listen back to and remind myself. And hopefully

296
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: while I'm reminding myself, I'm helping some of you guys

297
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: as well. So if you are feeling antsy, irritable, overwhelmed, stressed, depressed,

298
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: really try to implement these things that I just told you,

299
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: which is physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual and adding

300
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: rest the social part. I think it's also some people

301
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: are very introverted and they don't really want to go

302
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: out or really don't feel comfortable. It gives them anxiety.

303
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: But it's just really stepping out of your comfort zone

304
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: and saying, you know what, I'm going to try something different.

305
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it don't make me feel good, little by little,

306
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: taking baby steps. It doesn't have to be something like,

307
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: oh I'm going to go to a freaking concert and

308
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to be around so many people. It's like

309
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: little by little, like start off with a cousin, going

310
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: out and having a coffee and just having that connection

311
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: with someone else, you know, and I'm going to find

312
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: a way. I'm going to say if I can post

313
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: it on socials, you guys, you guys could see the

314
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: pie of life, so that you guys can print it out.

315
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: You can find a way for you guys to print

316
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: it out. I have this cabinet that I open every

317
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: day and that's where I have all my spiritual stuff

318
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: and my books and everything that I do, like my

319
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: morning meditation, morning routine thing, and I have it there.

320
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: I like to keep it there so that it reminds

321
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: me every day. I think it's a good thing for

322
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: you to place it somewhere where you could see it.

323
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Maybe in your closet when you're getting dressed, on your mirror,

324
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: when you're doing with brushing your teeth. In a little

325
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: place you know, you can have your spiritual sanctuary, you

326
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: can have it there. Anything that'd be like, okay, cool,

327
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: what am I missing? I haven't really like tapped into

328
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: my spirituality. Maybe I'm gonna go to church this Sunday

329
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: or you know what, I'm feeling a little like sad.

330
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call my sister. Hey, sister, I just need

331
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: to talk. Let me just express myself. If you don't

332
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: have a therapist, physical man, I haven't worked out in

333
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: a few days. You know what, I'm gonna jump on

334
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: the damn treadmill. I'm going to do twenty minutes. Little

335
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: by little, you know, oh you know, I haven't read

336
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: a book. I haven't picked up a book in a

337
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: long time. You know what, let me join a book club.

338
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, like start like little by little.

339
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: Just it'll help. It'll remind you. And if you're feeling

340
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: like overactive, then you need a rest. Then you need

341
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: to be like, you know what, I need to just

342
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: close out the world. Just stay home, listen to Chiggy's

343
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: and chill, or watch a Netflix and chill where you

344
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: could just relax and be It's very important. Get in

345
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: the bathtub. I always tell you guys, that's such an

346
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: I need to actually do that. I need to get

347
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: in the bathtub. I haven't used my bathtub in a minute.

348
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: So yes, like you know, keep it somewhere where you

349
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: can see it, and it's a reminder for you. And

350
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: again I fall off the wagon as well. I get

351
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: off track as well. It's okay, be patient and be

352
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: compassionate with yourself because life happens. There's so much going on.

353
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: We are being pulled in so many different directions, and

354
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: it is okay. It's always coming back and tapping into

355
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: yourself and aligning yourself and telling yourself, you know what, wait,

356
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: let me take a deep breath, let me center myself,

357
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: let me do these things that make me feel good,

358
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: and also make a list of things that make you

359
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: feel good, What makes you feel good, what makes your

360
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: soul excited to live? Write those things down and when

361
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: you're feeling all these things that we feel that I

362
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: feel as well, say, you know what, what makes me

363
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: feel good is going to my grandma's house. I don't know,

364
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: it could be anything. For me. I like spending time

365
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: with my nieces and nephews. I'll be like, you know what,

366
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: I need a little bit of that. This month, I'm

367
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: going to do my best to go and spend some time,

368
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: some quality time with my nieces and nephews because that

369
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: makes me so happy. So it's different for all of us. Anyways,

370
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: I want to make the short and sweet and hopefully

371
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: this episode can help you guys. It's something that means

372
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot to me because I feel that we all

373
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: have the tools within ourselves to be happy and have

374
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: a happy life, even if we don't necessarily have everything

375
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: we think we need to have materialistically to be happy.

376
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: Because some people feel if I don't have a big

377
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: house or an extravagant car, or this close and that clothes,

378
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: all these material things, I will never be happy. But

379
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: that is so false, you guys. All that stuff is materialistic,

380
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: it's exterior. It's when you are balanced within yourself and

381
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: you're happy within yourself that you find this joy that

382
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: I can't even explain, where all those things don't even

383
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: matter anymore. You start seeing life in a different way

384
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: where you just feel like you feel whole. And in

385
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: order to feel whole, I truly believe and I feel

386
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: and I have practice. And this is just my opinion

387
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: and my advice that these things, all these things that

388
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned in this episode have helped me become a

389
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: successful person, is really finding that balance. So anyways, that

390
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: is it. And I do want to leave you guys

391
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: with a motivational quote. Although this entire episode was to

392
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: motivate you. I hope here it is. Balance is not

393
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: something you find. It is something you create. Ooh, bring

394
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: it back. Balance is not something you find, it is

395
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: something you create. We are creating ourselves every single day.

396
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: We have to be intentional, have to want to be different,

397
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: We have to choose every day to do something different

398
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: in order to see a difference, to feel a difference.

399
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: It's tapping in to your inner authentic self and centering yourself.

400
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: So thank you for listening. I hope that I was

401
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: able to help. I love you guys so much. You

00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,400
