3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: another edition of Unbreakable, a Mental Health Podcast. I am

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Jay Glazer, and I want to share again. I want

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: to go back to my Thailand trip something else that

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: I learned for these time monks that worked with me

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: for the inside out. When I got there, I was

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: so self loathing. They asked me to describe myself and

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm actually embarrassed to repeat what I said about myself.

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: And that's what mental health does, Like it just gets

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: you to think that you're the worst person in the

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: world when you're not. It gets you to think the

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: skies falling all the time when it's it's not um

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: And again, folks, I know my life is great, but

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: between my ears as always just sucked. It's better now

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: that I'm able to build this team with all of you.

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: When they asked me to describe myself, it was so

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: not pretty. People like me tend to focus on bad

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: things I've done in the past, negative things people have hurt,

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: instead of people have helped, the beautiful moments I've had,

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: the times I've lifted others. Unfortunately, it's just now, my

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: how between my ears is wired. So they said straight

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: out to me, we need you to stop referring to

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: yourself as a piece of ship, because that's one of

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: the things I did. It's one of the things I said.

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: I said, I must be a piece of ship to

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: feel all this pain in my whole life. And they said,

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: just not how it is. You know, I had another

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: therapist at one time told me the universe conspires to

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: help us, right, it's not against us. So they said,

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: instead of saying that you're a piece of ship, start

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: referring to yourself as your own hero. So what do

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: you mean? And I said, well, you have endured a

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: lot in your life as a little kid on You've

35
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: endured a lot, right, Yep, you've overcome a lot. Right. Well, yeah,

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: you swam up stream a lot, haven't you. I said, yeah, yeah,

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm always swimming upstream to get to where I am, absolutely.

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: And they said you've achieved a lot. I said, yep,

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: I have. They said, okay, well some guy came into

40
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: your life right now and he got you to endure

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: all the pain you've endured, overcome all the obstacles you've overcome,

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: to achieve everything you've achieved in your life, Will that

44
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: You did that. You're the one that did that. So

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: start referring to yourself as your own hero. I said,

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: you're a good man. J Start referring to yourself as

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,359

Speaker 1: there that has gone through struggles, you're the one that

00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: is called Unbreakable, it's because it's based on things that
