1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: If our movement is a practice that adds more stress

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: to our body, we're just amplifying the stress in our body.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: And that's why sometimes some of the things that we're

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: doing it's not practical or healthy for you. And so

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: just looking at that as a conversation to be like,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm having a loving conversation with my body.

7

Speaker 1: I hosted a It was called Ilira, which is eurobuff

101
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: for wellness, and it was a black wellness experience featuring

102
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: like meditation, movement, and mindfulness. And I had my co trainers,

103
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: Tara Nicholas from NIKI and David Carson as well from

104
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: NIKI Training. We all pulled up landed in Brooklyn at

105
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Wellness Club and put it on a really

106
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: great community event, focused a lot on like community healing,

107
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: talking about the importance of self care and wellbeing, and

108
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: just held space with each other and for each other

109
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: in a loving and nourishing way.

110
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: Oh, it sounds delightful. And it was a good success.

111
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: It was a huge success. I woke up feeling really grateful.

112
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: I probably sent one of the sappiest emails to everybody,

113
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: like I love you but and just expressing my gratitude

114
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 1: and you know, appreciation of their supports, especially because sometimes

115
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: when you you know, when you have an idea and

116
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: you're betting on yourself, sometimes it's a scary place to be,

117
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Like imposter syndrome shows up. So many things show up

118
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: in that space, and you invest so much time and energy,

119
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: and then when you actually see it come to life,

120
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I did that, and you know, just

121
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to make sure I think the

122
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: people that were involved in making it possible.

123
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did that.

124
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: Oh And it's so special to take that time to

125
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: reflect something that we'll talk a little bit about today

126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: when it comes to managing stress, which is the topic

127
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: of the day.

128
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: We're here specifically in the studio to.

129
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: Talk about how to find calm, how to manage stress.

130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: We're on the cusp of a new season right now.

131
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: Spring has sprung, and with that it's an opportunity to

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: come back to self and really do an inventory of

133
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: what's working for you and what's not working for you,

134
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: And what's not working for us as a society right

135
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: now is this chronic stress, ambient anxiety lifestyle.

136
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: We are not about that.

137
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: I think that we've bought too much into like burnout culture,

138
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: and we've like normalized it to the point that when

139
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: we need to make time for rest and restoration and

140
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: just slowing down, it to struggle for us, and we

141
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: feel so much guilt around that, and so like it's

142
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: really important to take stock and just do like an

143
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: internal inventory and an external inventory of like things like

144
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: you said that work, don't work, that need to shift

145
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: and need to change so that you can just kind

146
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: of like feel a little bit more at ease. And

147
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: I'd really like to see people start shifting from this

148
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: flight fright, farm fear, you know, system, to like one

149
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: that's like ease and that's nourishing and that's like simple

150
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: in a way, but beneficial that still allows you to

151
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: achieve the things that you want to achieve, because I

152
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: think people think that if you like slow down, that

153
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: you're not going to get things done, but also recognize

154
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: that slowing down actually provides you the space to get

155
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: things done, not only the right way, but what's the

156
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: best way for you to as well.

157
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, this really echoes the sentiments that I subscribe to,

158
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: which is being kind but firm as well, Like you

159
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: don't have to be a jerk or bossy to get

160
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: the things that you want. You can be a kind

161
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: person and be good to people and also accomplish what

162
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,479
Speaker 3: it is you're after. And there's kind of a misconception

163
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: with that sometimes in that people think you need to

164
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: step on others to get to the top. But in

165
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: my belief system, if you're stepping on others, then you're

166
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: doing it wrong, and that there's room for everyone at

167
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: the table. It's the person that's going to get ahead

168
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: is someone who pulls out a chair from the table

169
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: and says, take a seat for me. That's the only

170
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: way that I want to get to the proverbial mountain top.

171
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: And I think it's a really good way for us

172
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: to learn how to be in better community with each other, right,

173
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: Like you know, and I think that you know, as

174
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: the world is so huge, but it's also really small,

175
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: like collaboration, being connected with each other is really important,

176
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: and like more of us are thriving when we bring

177
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: other people along rather than just saying okay, I got

178
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: this and it's all about me, and that's very individualistic,

179
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's counterproductive to our overall collective

180
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: and individual wellbeing. So, like, you know, I'm one of

181
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: those people too. Some people say I'm too nice, and

182
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: that's okay. I'll wear that hat and that badge very proudly,

183
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: but I do leave that. You know, more work gets

184
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: done when you are able to sit at a table

185
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: and have extra chairs and pull them out for people

186
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: to be a part of that table with you.

187
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: Also as a single woman, like I do enough on

188
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: my own. Yep, you know what I'm saying. So I

189
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: love the opportunity to collaborate with other individuals, even if

190
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: it is on a brand project where say I'm hosting

191
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 3: something or I'm the figurehead for that experience.

192
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: Cool in.

193
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 3: But the exciting part for me is all the work

194
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: that happens up until the point where we're ready for

195
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: me to get on the MIC. It's the collaboration between

196
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: me and individuals on the marketing team. It's the weekly

197
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: meetings where it's like, oh, I have a team all

198
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 3: of a sudden that I didn't have last week.

199
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: That's the stuff that excites me.

200
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: The stuff where we get to go in and sit

201
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 3: down at a table together and I DA together and

202
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: create experiences that benefit others coming together in our like

203
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 3: minded passions are like minded purposes.

204
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: Right, No, I agree, And I think that it just

205
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: allows more versatility, diversity, and it just creates more robustness

206
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: because again, like you're also having different perspectives add so

207
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: it's like you start with this little seed and it

208
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: just kind of flourishes and grows into this beautiful plant

209
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: because people are adding onto it. And then also sometimes

210
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: it's like okay for you to not do it all

211
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: by yourself, and like feeling that support is so nourishing

212
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: too as well, especially when you are like like I'm

213
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: hyper independent and you're always doing stuff on your own,

214
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just like nice to turn around and

215
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, there's someone here with me

216
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: that can help and that for me, especially like for instance,

217
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: like this event, it was really good to be able

218
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: to like tap into Tara tap into David tap into

219
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: like the rest of the team who helped create the

220
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: experience and be like, oh, like I don't have to

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: do this right now, like you've got this handled or

222
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And that collaboration and you know,

223
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: which means community. At the end of the day was

224
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: really was really beautiful. What does stress look like right

225
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: now in your life? Thing that I'm trying to avoid,

226
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: run away from, like the plague, honestly, full transparency. It

227
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: is something that I actively engage in trying to avoid.

228
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: I know that's a group of people in the wellness

229
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: industry who like to talk about stress as being something

230
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: that's good for you and healthy.

231
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: For you, you know, and I.

232
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Think that regardless, we live in a society that are

233
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: always going to have systems in place that are going

234
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: to make you have stress.

235
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: Right However, you know.

236
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: That is something that I actively engage in trying to

237
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: avoid and you know, just focusing on cultivating practices that

238
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: allow me to be softer in a very hard, hard world.

239
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: So like recently I started it's called the seventy five

240
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: Soft Healing Challenge, and it's a take on the seventy

241
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: five Hard but I also wanted to do that healing

242
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: part to it, not just like seventy five Soft, but

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: like healing, because when you're engaging in practices and routines

244
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: and things of that nature that allow you to be

245
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: like one percent better or allow you to feel like

246
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: more supported and nourished. There's a healing that happens as

247
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: well well. And so you know, part and partial for me,

248
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: like you're running away or and I wouldn't say running away,

249
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: like stepping away from like this livelihood of being enveloped

250
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: in stress is that it's just not healthy for me physically, emotionally,

251
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: and spiritually on so many different levels. And then also

252
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, with my illness, stress is not it for me.

253
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: So I really have to be mindful of the ways

254
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: in which stress shows up for me and how I

255
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: navigate through it.

256
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally understandable.

257
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: And to have the awareness of, Okay, this is a

258
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: stressful situation, it's not serving me. And also having the

259
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: awareness of if I implement X, then this is what will happen.

260
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: That's so special to be able to get you to

261
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: a place where you want to be and also taking

262
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: ownership over that. I think a lot of the time

263
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: when we talk about navigating stress, there can be a

264
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: little bit of a victim mindset. It's like, well, this

265
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: is just how it is now, and getting a place

266
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: instead where you can become the person that reclaims how

267
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: you want to feel reclaims the things that are within

268
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: your control to navigate a particular environment. I live in Brooklyn,

269
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: New York, right, Like Brooklyn is not necessarily inherently a

270
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: place that's going to be stress free. There's traffic everywhere,

271
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: There is honking outside of my window. There are way

272
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: too many people. But in that I have been able

273
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: to find certain routines and we'll talk about routines shortly

274
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: that fill me up and nurture my soul so that

275
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: I don't feel stressed the moment that I walk out

276
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: the door.

277
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: To each their own. But I know that it is

278
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: up to me to cultivate the environment.

279
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: Just like you said, you know that you have the

280
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: power to do the same, and then I can make

281
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: some really good decisions for myself moving forward after I

282
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: filled up my own cup oxygen mask for me take

283
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: care of everybody else.

284
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it's really important for us to

285
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: recognize the importance of like I would say that your

286
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: creator in your pockets of peace, Like you know what

287
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, You're creating pockets of peace for yourself in

288
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: the midst of the chaos, right, and so, like you know,

289
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: and like Brooklyn is a very lively city, but you know,

290
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: we're sitting here and it's really quiet and peaceful at

291
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: the same time. So, like, how are you cultivating that

292
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: in your spaces, like internally, externally and things of that nature,

293
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: just because like it's really important, especially as we're like

294
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: continuing to be put in places, in situations and be

295
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: around people that may not be you know, as supportive

296
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: or nourishing to help us just thrive.

297
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: I love an im statement like I am deserving.

298
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: Of peace, and even it could be general like that,

299
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: or if that feels overwhelming or a little too much,

300
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: it can even be I am deserving of pockets of

301
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: peace and saying things like that and taking that step

302
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: to claim that that in itself is entirely powerful. Right,

303
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: that in itself might seem so small, but saying something

304
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: like that really sets the tone for what you.

305
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: Can do moving forward.

306
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: Now, I know there are a myriad of different ways

307
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: that we can talk about finding and reclaiming calm and

308
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: managing stress. I want to kick our conversation off to

309
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: no and surprise with movement. Now, movement can look different

310
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: for every individual and even for the same individual depending

311
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: on the day. Right, So why is it that movement

312
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: is an integral part of the equation when it comes

313
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: to managing stress.

314
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: I personally think that movement is like one of the

315
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: main tenants, and I really want to be mindful of

316
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: the fact that, like I understand how movement and being

317
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: able to move one's body is also privileged, right, And

318
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: so I don't take that lightly. That being said, the

319
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: body absorbs everything, right. You know, we've heard the book

320
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: The Body Keeps Score. There's so much information that's out

321
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: there that really indicates to everyone the ways in which

322
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: our body stores and how it shows up, not just

323
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: through like illnesses, it could just be through our skin,

324
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: like so many different ways our body absorbs trauma and

325
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: things of that nature. So for me, movement is like

326
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: a somatic experience. Movement allows us to move things through, right,

327
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: and so like, for instance, if something is stressing me,

328
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: one of my go to things is to go for

329
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: a walk. So like, I might be in a stressful

330
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: situation or have a stressful conversation or maybe even an

331
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: argument with somebody, But then afterwards I'll be like, Okay,

332
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: how am I going to move through this? I might

333
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: just put on my shoes and go outside for a

334
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: walk and just go by the water, do whatever I

335
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: need to do. I think sometimes what's hard for people

336
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: is that when we are going through stressful situations and

337
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: in the midst of stress and moving through stress, we

338
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: then stop and then everything just sits with us. And

339
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: like you can see how that kind of shows up

340
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: in your body, like how your shoulders might feel tight,

341
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: or how sometimes like I don't know, like maybe your

342
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: belly feels a little hot, like because you're mad about something,

343
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: or your hips. You know, chronically a lot of people

344
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: show up to classes with really hill tight hips, right,

345
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: so like you know, your body lets you know, right,

346
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: and it could be like a migraine. Like things happen

347
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: when you're under a lot of stress, and our ability

348
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: to kind of like find ways to move that stress

349
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: out of our body is something that is like a

350
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: really useful practice that helps us not maintain the level

351
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: of stress that's in our bodies. Right, And like there's

352
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: documentation that shows like even just a little bit of

353
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: like stretching or yoga helps people decompress, right, Like even

354
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: before bed lags up the wall is like one of

355
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: the best moves that you could do. You know, may

356
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: times I've like fallen asleep with fix up the wall,

357
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: like you know what you mean? Like, because I'm just like, oh,

358
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: let me and the next thing, you know, I'm like, whoa,

359
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: how did I get here? Just finding one or two

360
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: little micropractices that you can turn into macro practices when

361
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: you really need are really important. But understanding that everything

362
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: that we like, we put things into our body, not

363
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: just food and water and drinks, but we put so

364
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: much into our body and stress is storied in so

365
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: many different ways in our body, and so we have

366
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: to start working on finding ways to move through that

367
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: stress and move that stress out of our bodies. Like

368
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: that movement is literally expelling that stress out of our body. Hi,

369
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: my name is Emily Body and I have crazy tight hips.

370
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: It's me yes, and I love, love, love.

371
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: The point you made about micro macro movements right, knowing

372
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 3: that it doesn't need to be an hour long workout.

373
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 2: All you need to do is just move the energy. Right.

374
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: So maybe that is a walk around the block after

375
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: getting an undesirable email, or perhaps it is making sure

376
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: that for ten minutes before you start your workday, if

377
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: you roll out of bed, you're doing some sort of stretching.

378
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: In your living room.

379
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: It's all going to help move things around, and also

380
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: accepting that sometimes movement isn't going to look like you'd hoped. Yeah, okay,

381
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: So sometimes maybe you have an injury and you can't

382
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: do the strength training you want to do, or the

383
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: running that you want to do or insert xyz activity.

384
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: But you can do sam yoga in your living room,

385
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: or you can walk up and down the stairs a

386
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: few times, whatever it is that you have access to.

387
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: If you remove the judgment from that thing on how

388
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: you feel as though it should should in quotes look

389
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: and allow yourself to do something that can serve you,

390
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: that's going to be a huge step in the right direction.

391
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: I think that people, you know, I really invite people

392
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: to have an understanding that movement is just a loving

393
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: conversation with our body, right Like you can go for

394
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: a walk, you can dance like you many times. I

395
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: dance in my living room, like you know, And sometimes

396
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: movement for me looks like just rolling my wrists and

397
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: my ankles in the morning, and like looking from side

398
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: to side and just stretching my neck because that's all

399
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: I can do.

400
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: Right.

401
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: So, like I feel like, you know, for people, we

402
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: don't have to overc complicate the concept of movement, and

403
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: for me, movement doesn't need to be punishment. I think

404
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: we get enough punishment in the world that like, we

405
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: don't need to kill ourselves because we're just adding more stress. Like,

406
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: if our movement is a practice that adds more stress

407
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: to our body, we're just amplifying the stress in our body.

408
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: And that's why sometimes some of the things that we're

409
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: doing it's not practical or healthy for you. And so

410
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: just looking at that as a conversation to be like,

411
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: I'm having a loving conversation with my body through movement.

412
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: And that could be obviously, I'm going to say, yoga

413
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: could be like, you know, pilates. It could just be

414
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: like riding your bike. It could just be like dancing.

415
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: It could be going for a nice little walk, you

416
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It could also just be like

417
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: hugging a friend, you know what I mean. It could

418
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: just be like that's a movement, right. So I just

419
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: think that, like, there's so many different innovative ways that

420
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: we can reimagine what that conversation with movement looks like.

421
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I really love the idea of listening

422
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 3: to your body, right knowing that one day something could

423
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: feel really good, and then if you go to do

424
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: the same thing again, it might not feel the same.

425
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: And that's okay. I a week.

426
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: Ago went and ran a handful of miles, and then

427
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: five days later I went to do it again and

428
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 3: it didn't feel the same, and I was like, you

429
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: know what, I'm going to listen to my body, give

430
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: it the rest that it deserves, take into account and

431
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 3: accommodate for the fact that I was doing things in

432
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: between those two periods of time that didn't make the

433
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: second run feel that good.

434
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: And that's okay, right.

435
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 3: So just being gentle with yourself and having some grace

436
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 3: and knowing that whatever you do, however you move, it

437
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: is an opportunity, as you said, to give a gift

438
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: to yourself and then in turn manage stress. So moving

439
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: super important, also really important, something that we hardly think about,

440
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 3: but arguably one of the biggest tools that we have.

441
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: What is that, Rebecca re Ah, Yes, it's breath work.

442
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 3: Talk to me about what taking advantage of your breath

443
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: can do for the body and our stress response.

444
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, as a big proponent of breath work, I

445
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: always say when I teach allow this breath to anchor

446
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: and guide you through this practice and this practice that

447
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: we call it. Right, As someone who works in wellness,

448
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: I always say, like it's the most accessible tool that

449
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: we have, Like we don't have to pay for breath

450
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe in the future, but right now, ill

451
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: don't have to pay the breaths. Right, It's something that

452
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: allows you to express yourself without expressing yourself. Right, It's

453
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: a something that you can access that allows you to

454
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: check in with yourself. Right, Like you can pay attention

455
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: to your breath when you're frustrated and angry, how fast

456
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: your breath is going, you have control to be able

457
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: to take control over that situation and just slow down

458
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: your breath. Right, You have breath that you can do

459
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: to also like activate you and give you energy. So

460
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: the breath is like very life giving. It's the first

461
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: thing we take when we're born, that's the last we

462
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: take when we transition. So you know, for me, breath

463
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: has been something that has been like a really beneficial

464
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: tool to help just sustain.

465
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: Me through day to day practices.

466
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Anybody who's around me knows, like I'll just pause just

467
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: to breathe, right, and whether that's like you know, like

468
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: a nice deep inhale and like a sigh like a

469
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: yesterday when I taught, I always close all my classes

470
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: with three collective community breaths, and it's really interesting to

471
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: see people like their first in heals like a little right,

472
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: and then by the time you get to the third,

473
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: they're like just giving yourself that permission to feel that

474
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: expansion to as well. And so you know, breath is

475
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: a really great tool to be able to access to

476
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: help slow things down, to calm you down, to help

477
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: regulate your nervous system. Like there's a strong correlation between that,

478
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: and again, like I said, it's one of the most

479
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: accessible tools that we have in our wellness toolbox that

480
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: doesn't require a lot of work, right, It just requires

481
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: some practice as we start to explore different modalities of breath,

482
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: But in general, it's just a really easy, accessible tool

483
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: that's readily available for us and that we use without

484
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: recognizing it. And once you learn how to tap into

485
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: your breath, because a lot of us in this world

486
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: spend so much energy and time shallow breathing. So when

487
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: you really start to learn about your breath and how

488
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: it works for and with your body, like amazing transformations

489
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: can happen through that.

490
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 3: For someone who doesn't know about shallow breathing or might

491
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: not realize that they're doing it, explain a little bit

492
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 3: about that.

493
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: So shallow breathing, so a lot of us just go

494
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: through life, and like a quick, simple thing that I

495
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 1: always imagine I encourage people to do is like just

496
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: like placing hand on chest and hand on belly and

497
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: just taking some nice slow breaths and just breathing normally

498
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: and seeing which is rising, whether it's your belly or

499
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: your chest, And if your chest is rising, then I

500
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: encourage you to like transition your hand like maybe make

501
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: a little triangle with your fingers and like a diamond

502
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: shape by your belly button, and then just really focus

503
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: on breathing that air to land in your belly. And

504
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: it takes practice, so if you don't get it the

505
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: first couple of times, that's quite all right. But that

506
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: is the difference between shallow breathing and like they call it,

507
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: belly breath. And it's interesting because when babies are born,

508
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: when we're all babies, we're all belly breathing, and as

509
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: life starts to life us, we transition from that belly

510
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: breath to that shallow breath. And it's really interesting when

511
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: you're in community and when you're teaching or people. I

512
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: always see the light bulb go off when they realize

513
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: like they're breathing here and that they're really not getting

514
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: the breath to the whole body. And when they have

515
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: those moments and become mindful of that, it's just really

516
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: like life changing for them because you can see them

517
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: like really focusing on reclaiming their breath and that simple

518
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: exercise is a really quick, easy, accessible way to be

519
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: able to recognize that.

520
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 3: I feel like everyone listening to the podcast right now

521
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 3: is probably like, shoot, I've been a shallow breathing for

522
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 3: so long, and it's nothing to feel some kind of

523
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: way about. It's just simply the execution of when you

524
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: know better, do better. That doesn't mean that every breath

525
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: that you take for the rest of your life now

526
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 3: is going to be a deep belly breath, right, But

527
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: it's having the awareness to know that it's accessible to

528
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: you and having the awareness to recognize, oh, like, this

529
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: is how I've been doing this thing, and I could

530
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: do it a different way and it can serve me

531
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: a little bit in a different way, and that's great.

532
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: Right.

533
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: It's just again, everything that we're talking about here is

534
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: approaching the circumstance with some grace so that you can

535
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 3: make a tweak and then move forward knowing better.

536
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: And I think even when it comes down to breath,

537
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: it's just also understanding that it's there, right. And so

538
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: when you pay start paying attention to your breath, like

539
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: you will realize like, oh, I'm angry right now, right

540
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean. You will realize okay,

541
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: like I feel soft right now, like your breath like

542
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: because you can tell your breath speeds up, your breath

543
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: slows down, like you know what I mean. And so

544
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: so when you start to really pay attention to your breath,

545
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: it's a really good way for you to just tap

546
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: in and recognize. And if you find yourself like shallow breathing,

547
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: or if you find yourself like, you know, breathing faster,

548
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: then that's the cue to you to be able to

549
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: stop and just be like I'm going to take two minutes.

550
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm just going to sit here and I'm just gonna breathe, yeah,

551
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: and I'm going to just reset self regulate myself in

552
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: a way that doesn't require anything than just a moment,

553
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: and that doesn't even have to be like two minutes.

554
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like ten seconds, you know what I mean.

555
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like one where you just like a nice

556
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: deep in heal and then excelling it out you're like

557
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: and then you just like feel better.

558
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: Right, It doesn't need to be this big thing. It

559
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: really is a lot about meeting yourself with where you're at.

560
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: You know, when we talk about goal setting, often we

561
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: talk about the smart framework that's specific, measurable, attainable, realistic,

562
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: or relevant and time bound. Right and for someone who

563
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: has no breath practice right now, or isn't even aware

564
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: of how they've been breathing to then say, okay, I'm

565
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: going to be the person that does ten minutes of

566
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: breath work every day, that's not really all that relevant

567
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: or realistic for you.

568
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: You need to meet yourself with where you're at.

569
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: So maybe that person then is going to do one

570
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: minute or three deep breaths three that's it, and that

571
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: could take you a total of twenty seconds max. That

572
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: is how you integrate something into your routine in a

573
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: way that is relevant to who you are, what you

574
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: have going on.

575
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: Then over time you can build off of that.

576
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 3: Now, I just said the buzzword routine, and we talked

577
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: a little bit about different aspects of routine, whether that's

578
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: movement or breathwork, but creating a whole new routine that

579
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: integrates different good for you practices into your day to

580
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 3: day can also be a major way to manage stress

581
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: and really come back to calm.

582
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: I know, for me, today is my first day in.

583
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: Quite some time back in Brooklyn, and I the amount

584
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: of joy I had from doing my regular morning routine

585
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: in my regular morning place was unrivaled earlier today. Why

586
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: is it that developing routines can be so beneficial for

587
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 3: someone who's navigating a stressful time?

588
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think, well, you know, first and foremost,

589
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: our brains are just wired for routine. It kind of

590
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: like predicts certain things. But also there's safety that's in

591
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: that routine. Let's first preface this that you know, you

592
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: have a routine, and it's okay. It's sometimes your routine

593
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: falls off, and it's okay to jump back on and

594
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: off the wagon of your routine, right, give yourself that grace.

595
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: But you know, for me, routines is something that has

596
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: shown up that has allowed me some stability and allowed

597
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: me space to have balance, right, And so especially when

598
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: I understand that the rest of my day or my

599
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: day to day life is not as routine focused and

600
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: has some moments of unbalanced or chaos, having a routine

601
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: for myself is something that kind of like anchors me.

602
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: And I think I've noticed a lot of people that

603
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: I've been working with they don't have routines, and so

604
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: they just kind of like wake up in the morning

605
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: and maybe they don't have a morning routine, and because

606
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: they don't have a morning routine, their mornings are very chaotic. Right,

607
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: Rather than sitting back and saying, Okay, this is how

608
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: it'd like to start my day, maybe I need to

609
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: wake up five minutes early, an hour early, depending you know.

610
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: I know there's some big proponents of the five am club.

611
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm one of those members. But even if you don't

612
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: do a five am routine, you can do your eight

613
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 1: thirty routine and have it be just as impactful as

614
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: your five am routine, right, And so like really just

615
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: focusing on those routines around like how you want to

616
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: start your day, how you want to end your day,

617
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: because especially when we're thinking about like a nighttime routine,

618
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: we're taking that day with us into bed, right.

619
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: And I don't know about you, but like I know.

620
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes if I don't have my routine, point like, my

621
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: mind will be running a mile a minute, I'll be

622
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: waking up at three o'clock in the morning, and people

623
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: will be talking about my cortisol levels and.

624
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: All those kinds of things.

625
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: But like reality is is that when I have a consistent, concise,

626
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: really supportive, nourishing nighttime routine, like I don't wake up

627
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: at three o'clock in the morning, I don't wake up

628
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: cranky in the next day, and my mind is not

629
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: racing as much. And then if I have my morning

630
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: routine and book end it with a nice nighttime routine,

631
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: like I just feel more full. It's really hard to explain,

632
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: but I just feel more like I'm doing something for myself.

633
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Yeah, definitely.

634
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: And for me, if I'm off of my routines, I

635
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: notice a domino effect for everything I'm doing in terms

636
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: of the decisions that I'm making throughout the day. I

637
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: may not eat as well as I'd like to eat, and.

638
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, we'll just start tomorrow, right.

639
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: I think the best thing that you can do for

640
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 3: yourself is grant yourself the permission to begin again at

641
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: any moment of the day.

642
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be when you wake up the

643
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: next day.

644
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: Also, on the note of what time people wake up

645
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: in the morning, I was just having a conversation with

646
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: a friend about this, and I need to hear your POV.

647
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 3: If you're an adult, like let's say you are a

648
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: functioning member of society, you're I'm in my thirties, let's

649
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: go like mid twenties and above, you've been to the

650
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 3: workforce for a few years.

651
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: If you were.

652
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: Getting up after eight am, I don't understand. Yeah, I

653
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 3: mean for me personally, it's so hard. That's a hot take.

654
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: I personally think that, like, you get so much done

655
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: with a really productive morning routine. I just feel like

656
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: your day becomes blurry after eight o'clock.

657
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

658
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: I hope I don't offend anybody by saying that. I

659
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: just came in with the hot Yeah, I was like,

660
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: I just kind of feel like the amount of like

661
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: stuff I'm able to accomplish prior to eight o'clock in

662
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: the morning is insane. By getting up earlier, right, and

663
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: I just feel like it just sets a better tone

664
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: for me for my day. I do struggle with people

665
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: who like I struggle, and sometimes I'm a little bit

666
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: in awe. The fact that you can roll out of

667
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: bed at eight thirty and be somewhere by nine kind

668
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: of vibes like you know what I mean. But then

669
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: it just makes me question, like, and I'm not trying

670
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: to knock anybody, but like, how are you taking care

671
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: of yourself before you start your day?

672
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: Exactly?

673
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 3: And I will say to those that are listening, and

674
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: they're like, well, I'm a night owl, and that's when

675
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 3: I take my time for myself.

676
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: Do you know what you're really doing by being a

677
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: night owl?

678
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: Like? Are you actually serving your body by staying up

679
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 3: until one am? What would be a little bit different

680
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: if you listen to your circadian rhythm and went to

681
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 3: bed at a more culturally acceptable time.

682
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm just throwing these thoughts.

683
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: It's interesting because you know, I just came back from

684
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: Jamaica not too long ago, and I stayed in country

685
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: and like the rooster's crow, like four thirty five o'clock

686
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: in the morning, and like you're up, like there's no

687
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: negotiation with your body, Like the sun is literally shining

688
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: on you, and that's how you start your day. So

689
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, and then everybody's starting their

690
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: day right, and so you know, it's very hard for

691
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: me to kind of like and when the sun goes down,

692
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: you're kind of like ending your day kind of vibe,

693
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: and so like, I just feel like, you know, I

694
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: get the whole night hour owl thing and all those

695
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: kinds of things, but I also think that, you know,

696
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: sometimes those are just reasons and rationales for the fact

697
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: that we are subscribing to burnout culture and legitimizing, you know,

698
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: like survival mode.

699
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 3: And on the note of routine, I really want to

700
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 3: make sure that we were on this home. I'm not

701
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: saying you need just like an exercise snack can be

702
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: good for you, of a routine snack can be good

703
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 3: for you. It doesn't need to be some extensive thing

704
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 3: in the morning where you're taking thirty minutes for your

705
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: skincare and breathing for thirty minutes and then journaling for

706
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 3: thirty minutes and then before you know it, you have

707
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 3: like a four hour morning routine. Nah, it doesn't need

708
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 3: to be like that. Meet yourself with where you're at right.

709
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 3: So if you don't have one. Right now, ask yourself,

710
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 3: what's one thing I want to integrate into my morning

711
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: that's giving back to me that helps me put on

712
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: that oxygen mask and then show up how I want

713
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 3: to show up moving forward. It can literally be one

714
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: to five minutes. But I encourage you to take that

715
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 3: time for yourself so that you can do that for you.

716
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: You deserve that time for yourself. I am worthy of

717
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: that time.

718
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you know, I really would like

719
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: to encourage people to step away from like the wellness

720
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: aesthetic right of like the red light this that like

721
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: we see that all over like socials and stuff like that,

722
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: and really just understand this whole entire idea of like like.

723
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: What you said.

724
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: It can be a routine snack. Like I think one

725
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: time I did a post on Instagram or it was

726
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: like you have five minutes in the morning, and I

727
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: showed everyone you could do like five minutes of breath work.

728
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: Five like I mean one minute of breath work, drink

729
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: your water. That's a minute, right, one minute of a

730
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: great gratitude list, one minute of like light stretching in bed,

731
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: and then one minute of I think was breathing or

732
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: something like that and it was five minutes. That's it, right,

733
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: that was it. Because people always come to me like, oh,

734
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: I want to build a routine, I want to meditate,

735
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: I want to do this, and I'm just like, they're like,

736
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: but it's hard. I'm like, let's stop making it hard,

737
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: and let's just make it accessible for me. Wellness is

738
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: all about accessibility, and so your morning routine could be

739
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: getting up five minutes, ten minutes earlier and just taking

740
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: that moment to make a good cup of tea or

741
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: a good cup of coffee. Right, you're you know, I

742
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: do not have the time, nor the energy, nor the

743
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: bandwidth to have a thirty minute like and if I did,

744
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: I wonder what my skin would look like. But like

745
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: a thirty minute like you know what I mean, Like,

746
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: who has time for that?

747
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: Right?

748
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: I have time for you know, a really good oil, right,

749
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: and you know, a little good body brushing and all

750
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But there's some mornings when I

751
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: don't do all that, and some mornings I just like

752
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: today I can only journal. That's all I have the

753
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: capacity for. And that is fine too. So like when

754
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: we're thinking about establishing routines too as well, it's Okay,

755
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: Like if you don't do your top ten or whatever

756
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: top five for your routine and you just do one,

757
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: at least you did one thing that gave back to you.

758
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: And that's what the whole entire purpose of like cultivating

759
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: these practices around routine are all about. It's about, you know,

760
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: finding the time and the bandwidth and the space to

761
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: give back to you.

762
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: And differentiating between the concept of it is hard and

763
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: it feels hard, right, because you have the opportunity to

764
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 3: understand that it feels hard is not a fact.

765
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: It's just a feeling.

766
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 3: When you say it is hard, you're believing that to

767
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 3: be how it is. It's hard, period. So shift that

768
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 3: mindset and shift your view on that, and you might

769
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: be surprised at how you can reclaim your power over

770
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: an otherwise quote unquote hard task or thing that you

771
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: want to build into your routine. So we've established here

772
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 3: routines can be very good for you when it comes

773
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: to combating stress, especially because again it's that moment, that

774
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 3: period of time that you're doing something for yourself and

775
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: that can be so so valuable. Something else that can

776
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 3: be really helpful in managing stress. We talked about taking

777
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 3: that walk around the block, getting outside. What is it

778
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 3: that being outside does for us? Regardless unfortunately of the

779
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: temperature out there.

780
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I tied walking around Brooklyn lately and

781
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: it wasn't it. But you know, I think like just

782
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: getting outside and just you know, changing your environments, getting

783
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: some sun on your skin, regardless of how cold or

784
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: hot it is or wherever you are, just being able

785
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: to just feel your breath a little bit differently outside.

786
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: It also provides you this space to be able to

787
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: just move right and whether that walk looks like you know,

788
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: like I was telling Emily earlier, I walked to Trader

789
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: Joe's and that was a different kind of walk than

790
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 1: like walking into like Prospect Park, but it's still nonetheless

791
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: getting outside right and if you're able to like build

792
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: on that getting outside and taking a moment to like,

793
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: you know, go somewhere where you have access to like

794
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: park or something where you can ground a little bit,

795
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 1: or you can sit and meditate a little bit. Like then,

796
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: ancestral speaking, we have that connection to nature. It's all

797
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: in our DNA being connected to nature. So really just

798
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: kind of like paying homage and bringing it back to

799
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: that idea of like being in a natural environment that's

800
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: really conducive to us. And so, you know, I actively

801
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: encourage people all the time. Like, you know, my oldest someoneever,

802
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: he calls me he's stressed out. I'm like, go outside

803
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: for a walk. Yeah, He's like, I don't want to

804
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: do it. I'm like, go outside for walk. And then

805
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: he'll call me later and he'd be like, oh, I

806
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: feel so much better, right, And I'm like, he's like,

807
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: I went to the park, I did this, I did that.

808
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like yeah, see right, And so like you know, again,

809
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: that's nature, you know, is a prescription that doesn't cost

810
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: money for us to be able to be outside. And

811
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: I understand that, Like, Okay, we're having this conversation right

812
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: now here in Brooklyn, but like you know, being outside

813
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: in an urban center can be just as satisfying and

814
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: fulfilling as being in somewhere like in like the country

815
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: side and all those kinds of things. It's what we

816
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: make out of the experience, right.

817
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mom knows best, get outside. Always get outside. On

818
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: the topic of being outside as well, is get outside

819
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: and be outside. I think that there is goodness. Of course,

820
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 3: I want you to listen to podcasts. I want you

821
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 3: to listen to hurdle. I want you to listen to

822
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: music that brings you back to comm and gives you

823
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 3: the vibes if you're going out for a run. But

824
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 3: I also think that there's so much value to paying

825
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 3: attention to your surroundings and being fully present in nature.

826
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: This brings about the idea of also being cognizant of

827
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 3: what your inputs are.

828
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 2: Let's talk a.

829
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 3: Little bit about inputs and what we're putting into our body,

830
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 3: not just from a nutrition pov although that can certainly

831
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 3: contribute to stress, but also what we're consuming, whether that

832
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 3: be on our phone, with social media, the people that

833
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 3: are in our life, so on and so forth.

834
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like, you know, one thing that I

835
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: did a long time ago when the pandemic actually happened.

836
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm still using that word, but you know,

837
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: once upon a time there was I think called the pandemic.

838
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: I stopped watching the news mainly because I just mentally

839
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: didn't have the bandwidth to be able to like process

840
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: all that information that was coming and I felt like

841
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: it was making my anxiety like really elevated. And so

842
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: one of the practices that I've done to help me

843
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: manage to navigate stress. And I'm not saying be like

844
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: ignorant to everything that's going on in the world, Like

845
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: I have ways of being able to access information, but

846
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm also like really a big proponent of controlling the

847
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: information that you receive. And so like I've limited like

848
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: my TV watching time in general, not just like the news,

849
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: but like how I'm spending my time watching TV. I'm

850
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: very mindful of, like, you know, stuff that I read

851
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, the people and the conversations

852
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: that I choose to have and if I feel like,

853
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: you know, they're not supportive conversations or conversations that are

854
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: bringing me into this very negative or dark space or

855
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: like stressful you know, beyond work, right, I also kind

856
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: of like find ways to be to remove that too

857
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: as well, because you know, there's that saying that we

858
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: are what we eat, and when when we talk about eating,

859
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about like things that we listen to, the

860
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: people that we keep company with, you know, the different

861
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: kinds of foods that we're putting into our body, right,

862
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: And so just really being mindful of that as a practice,

863
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: I think would be something that if people really wanted

864
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: to explore and tap into can make a huge difference.

865
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: And I feel like a lot of us are in

866
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: this space where we get a lot of information and

867
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: the information is really overwhelming and it puts us into

868
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: these states of like like one, we just don't know

869
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: how to process or deal with it to depending on

870
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: the information, it's very traumatic and again we don't know

871
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: how to process and deal with it and things of

872
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: that nature. So just really being mindful of the fact

873
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: that like you can have a lot more control over

874
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: that and set that as a healthy boundary for yourself

875
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: because you'll be able to access. Like I said, I

876
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: access what I need to access when I need to access,

877
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: But I don't welcome in information or things in my

878
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: environment that aren't like conducive to supporting my overwall wellbeing.

879
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: And this is this makes me think about the purposefulness

880
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 3: of a routine, right because for me, I used to

881
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 3: wake up and the first thing I would do is

882
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 3: like look at Instagram, or I used to turn on

883
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 3: the podcast the news podcast that I listened to before

884
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 3: I join an older did breathwork, And I realized that

885
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 3: doing that put me on hire alert kind of made

886
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 3: me feel some kind of way that I didn't want

887
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: to start my day feeling like and so instead now

888
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 3: my phone sleeps on its own little charging path that

889
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 3: is not within reach of my bed. That was a huge,

890
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 3: great thing that I did when I was cognizant of

891
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: my inputs. And then now I wait until after the

892
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 3: breathwork in journaling to when I'm like getting ready to

893
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: head out the door to listen to my news podcast,

894
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 3: and that's you know, ten minutes and the back round

895
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 3: of me making my bed and organizing my apartment and

896
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 3: like kind of setting myself up for the day that

897
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 3: feels good for me, but maybe also in a month

898
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: that routine might not feel good for me. And so

899
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 3: it's just being cognizant of how do the decisions that

900
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: I'm making impact how I feel and reflecting on that.

901
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: That goes back to our first conversation on wow, how

902
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 3: does it feel if I reflect on what's going on here?

903
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 3: How does it feel if I take stock of what's

904
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 3: going on and allowing yourself to be more present in

905
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 3: your day to day in what you're consuming and how

906
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 3: that does affect your body?

907
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: And I also think that what you touched on was

908
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: something really important, is the fact that we should allow

909
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: ourselves the freedom and flexible to be flexible right and

910
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: not get tied into these static notions of like how

911
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: things are supposed to be done and how things are

912
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be right. I feel like, you know, we

913
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: all are growing and evolving. Like like growth is not static,

914
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: it's constant, and so like like what you said, like

915
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: this week, it may work from you. Next week it

916
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: might be something different. You might find something and add

917
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: it into your repertoire of things to tap into, right,

918
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: and so like you know, when we're thinking about these

919
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: things in terms of just supporting ourselves as we are

920
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: navigating stress, like think of these things, of all little

921
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: things that you can put into your toolbox and you

922
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: can take them out, like tap us. You can try this,

923
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: try that, and see what works for you. And then

924
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: and you it's okay for you to like say this

925
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: isn't working for me, and I'm going to put it

926
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: away for a little while and try something else.

927
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 3: And this also beckons us to talk about You said

928
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 3: tap us, So then I thought food. So now I'm

929
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 3: going to bring food into the conversation. Also, what you

930
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 3: put in your body in terms of nutrition is going

931
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: to impact if you're feeling stressed, especially when the things

932
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 3: that you're putting in your body might not actually be

933
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 3: all that nutrient dense. So I'm not of the camp

934
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 3: that's going to tell you to eliminate anything entirely. I

935
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 3: just don't believe in that way of restriction. But what

936
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 3: I will say is, if I'm in a place where

937
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 3: I'm not really being mindful of what I'm eating, if

938
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 3: I'm eating all different things from pizza to French fries

939
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 3: to burgers to tacos, and I'm traveling and I'm not

940
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 3: getting a lot of sleep, like all these things are

941
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: going to combine to a place that don't make me

942
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 3: feel that good and maybe make me feel more stressed.

943
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean that there's not a place in time

944
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 3: for going to pizza with your buddy.

945
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 2: It's like, of course there is.

946
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 3: But if you're living on a diet exclusively of pizza,

947
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds kind of nice, but candidly, you're

948
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 3: probably not going to feel all that great, right, Yeah.

949
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: And I also feel like, you know, we don't need

950
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: to sit here and you know, hammer at home. But

951
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: there's so much, you know, evidence that's out there talking

952
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: about the connection between the brain and the gut. Those

953
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: are the first two things that are developed when we

954
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: are embryos. So like there's that strong connection. And you know,

955
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: when you think about it, there's this word like word,

956
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: it's called comfort food, right, and so they're naturally predisposed

957
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: and designed in a way to provide comfort and activate

958
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: parts of our brain that make us feel a certain way.

959
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: So I get when you know, when we're stressed, you know,

960
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: we might reach for that chocolate bar, the bag of

961
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: chips or whatever. And if we're living in a constant

962
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: stat of stress, then we're constantly reaching for those things, right.

963
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: But you know, it's also renegotiating our understanding and our

964
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: stories that we tell ourselves around food, you know, and

965
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 1: a lot of us don't necessarily have healthy relationships around food.

966
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to sit here and pretend like

967
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't get stressed. And I like the other week,

968
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: I went to my doctor's appointment and I didn't like

969
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: what the doctor said, and I was so depressed afterwards,

970
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: and sad. I went downstairs at the hospital and I

971
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: did a balance, I ate butter pecan tart, and then

972
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: I had a gluten free because I'm supposed to be

973
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: eating gluten free, a gluten free slice of cake. So

974
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: it's like that was my balance and a diet coke. Right,

975
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: there's my balance. I got the comfort and I got

976
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: the you know what I mean for me, that's okay

977
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: because I don't do that on a normal, regular basis,

978
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 1: But really examining and having that conversation around how foods

979
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: aims us, right, and how food not only nourishes us

980
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: in terms of like our you know, helps with us,

981
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: but also helps nourish our brain, right, and thinking of

982
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: the healthy ways that we can sustain a healthy brain

983
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: and a healthy gut biome is like super critically important.

984
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: There's so much information out there that lets us know

985
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: these things and also understanding that it's okay to have

986
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: that balance, yeah, and tapping into the ways in which

987
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: you can create that balance for yourself and not feel guilty.

988
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't want people to feel guilty about the relationships

989
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: that they have with food, right, because there's also some

990
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: cultural nuances around food and the stigma around certain people's foods.

991
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: But also understanding that like you can as long as

992
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: you're also trying to find accessible ways to meet yourself

993
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: where you're at that help sustain you in a loving way, right,

994
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: And so like maybe my conversation when I'm stressed out

995
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: also looks like I automatically praise somethings sweet. So maybe

996
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: I'll reach for like some fruit, but which for me

997
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: is nature's candy. Always tell me that's how I got

998
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 1: my kids to eat fruit. I'd be like, it's nature's candy.

999
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: Eat some right, So like I'll find my way navigating

1000
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: to the store to do that, and you know, maybe

1001
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 1: balancing it off with something a little bubbly, like some kombucha.

1002
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 2: Right.

1003
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: But then also I understand that there's going to be

1004
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: a moment I might reach for something like that too

1005
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 1: as well, but also being aware of the fact that

1006
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: the consistency is the part that kind of sustains and

1007
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: either makes it a healthy habit or a not so

1008
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: healthy habit.

1009
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 3: Like the ninety ten, Like ninety percent of the time

1010
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 3: maybe you make a quote unquote good choice, and then

1011
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: ten percent of the time it's like this is a

1012
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: treat myself moment, right I And yeah, who hasn't been there?

1013
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 2: Right? Who hasn't been there?

1014
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 3: Like finding the balance between the diet coke and the

1015
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 3: gluten free cake. It's just you have to to do

1016
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 3: what feels best for you in that moment, with understanding

1017
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 3: that maybe one day you make the choice that quote

1018
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 3: unquote wasn't the healthiest one, but then the next time

1019
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 3: you have the awareness to pivot a little bit. I

1020
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,240
Speaker 3: remember distinctly last year I had a really rough day

1021
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 3: and I was standing in Soho near a milk bar

1022
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 3: and then also a majory like the jewelry store, and

1023
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: I consciously chose to go into majory and buy myself

1024
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 3: like this like sixty dollars ring that I had been

1025
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 3: targeted for on Instagram, instead of going to milk bar.

1026
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 3: And I talked about that with my life coach specifically

1027
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 3: that week, and I was like, I made this choice

1028
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 3: and I bought myself a ring, and now I can

1029
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 3: look down at the ring and think to myself, like,

1030
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 3: remember when you made that really good choice for yourself,

1031
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 3: and how would it feel if you continue to follow

1032
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 3: on that path and make those kind of choices more regularly.

1033
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 3: And it was really indicative of a place that I

1034
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 3: was in where I was taking ownership over the choices

1035
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: that I have in the day to day. There have

1036
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 3: been many times within my life, especially with relation to food,

1037
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 3: where I feel like I don't have ownership before my choices,

1038
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 3: or I felt as though I wasn't capable of making

1039
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 3: good decisions. And I've been there. I'm sure many people

1040
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 3: listening to this have been there, and that's okay. But

1041
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 3: knowing that you can at any point choose to change

1042
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 3: that narrative, it might not be easy, but.

1043
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 2: There is opportunity in that.

1044
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean stress, especially when it comes to

1045
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 3: food for me, has been very difficult literally since I

1046
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 3: started to understand that I can have agency over what

1047
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 3: I put into my body. But it's a forever work

1048
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 3: in progress and one that I get again that word opportunity,

1049
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,479
Speaker 3: it comes up a lot, but the opportunity to learn

1050
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 3: and grow along.

1051
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 2: With as I grow.

1052
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 3: I love what you said before about the fact that

1053
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 3: like growth doesn't need to be linear and although like

1054
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 3: we as humans, you know, we have this upward slanting

1055
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 3: chart for our growth, Like that's literally the only thing

1056
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 3: I think about your growth, maybe as an entrepreneur, as

1057
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 3: a woman, or as your emotional growth, Like there are

1058
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 3: going to be moments where it's skyrocketing and going up,

1059
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 3: and then maybe it's going to go down, and then

1060
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 3: maybe it's gonna plateau for a little bit and go

1061
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 3: down and go up, and all of this is okay

1062
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 3: as long as you're learning along the way. There's that saying.

1063
00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 3: It's that there's the journey is the destination. And for

1064
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 3: so many of us, as we're navigating stress, like all

1065
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 3: we can do is learn from our day to day

1066
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 3: and navigate the difficult moments with the understanding that those

1067
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 3: difficult moments, those hurdles are going to be the thing

1068
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 3: that teach us how to navigate the next one that

1069
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 3: mimics that level of difficulty, toughness, et cetera.

1070
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, sometimes we just need

1071
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: to remind it of the fact that life exists in paradoxes, right,

1072
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: Like you can be happy and said at the same time, right,

1073
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: you can exist in two different places at the same time, like, so,

1074
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, and if that's the case, then your growth

1075
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: is also going to be paradoxal. Your healing is going

1076
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: to be paradoxal. And you know, just having that understanding

1077
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: and appreciation for that in the way that it shows up.

1078
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: But I think what this you know, conversation really centers

1079
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: back to when we're thinking about navigating like stress and whatnot.

1080
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: Is this idea of like cultivating a practice of self

1081
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: compassion and cultivating a practice of just real, honest, open

1082
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: self reflection, right, Like you know, we've talked about this

1083
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: many times before, Like the idea of tapping back in

1084
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: asking ourselves what we need, right, what do we need

1085
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: to sustain us to fill us up? And then finding

1086
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,479
Speaker 1: those tools to be able to do that, but then

1087
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: also taking it a step further and giving ourselves that

1088
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: grace that we give everybody else except for ourselves, right,

1089
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: and that compassion so that we allow our selves to

1090
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: be in a place that facilitates growth, that facilitates self love,

1091
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: that facilitates all these things that we're literally on a

1092
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: quest for whether or not we want to hold space

1093
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: and acknowledge that that's kind of like what life is

1094
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: lifing us through to get to those destination points, but

1095
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: also understanding that, like you know, that journey is always

1096
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: going to be one that's going to be rough with

1097
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: peaks and valleys, but also it's always constant and it's

1098
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: constantly evolving, and that's the beautiful thing about being humans

1099
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: and we're humans, being right, So, like you know, really

1100
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: being cognizant of that is really important and not stuck

1101
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: on the semantics of things.

1102
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 2: I am not a burden.

1103
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 3: I think that that is an idea, a concept that

1104
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 3: I worked for a long time repeating out loud to

1105
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 3: myself because I would be going through moments of stress

1106
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 3: or moments that I really could use some calm and

1107
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 3: felt as though I needed to endure them on my own.

1108
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 3: It was as though I was trying to prove something

1109
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 3: to myself. And I think that this is the last

1110
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 3: topic that I want us to talk on today, is

1111
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 3: the importance of speaking about your stress, whether it be

1112
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 3: to a licensed professional or simply to a friend. Answering

1113
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 3: the question how are you authentically and not just going

1114
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 3: on an autopilot is a great place to start. Chat

1115
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 3: with me a little bit about how talking to others

1116
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 3: about how you're doing really can be an important tool

1117
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 3: to navigating a stressful situation.

1118
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: Well, I think first and foremost, it just legitimizes, like

1119
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: it just allows you to like feel legitimate and authentic

1120
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: in the ways that you're experiencing things and showing up

1121
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,720
Speaker 1: and sometimes that's all we need, right And I also

1122
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: feel that it's just like connection and community is you know,

1123
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: one of those social determinants of health. So being able

1124
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: to foster that sense of belonging, and even if that

1125
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: appears through a conversation where you are talking about stress,

1126
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: allows you to feel that support. And a lot of

1127
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: the times we live in a society that you know,

1128
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: cultivates us to have an understanding of like, Okay, we're

1129
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: supposed to be hyper independent, We're supposed to you know,

1130
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: if you you know, you know the language like put

1131
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: your big girl pendies on, your big boy bris on

1132
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: and just like tap on your chest and everything will

1133
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: be well. And the reality of the situation is that

1134
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: I can tap on my chest all I want and

1135
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm still not well right. And so being open and

1136
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: vulnerable enough to either talk to someone who's professional or

1137
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: you know, find a few friends that you can have

1138
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: open conversations about and be honest with. And if you

1139
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: feel like that's not available to you, you know, having

1140
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: a journaling practice where you can just openly talk to

1141
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: yourself on a piece of paper, it's just as good.

1142
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: I think that again, we're talking about the ways in

1143
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: which our body store things. If we're not talking about

1144
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: those things, we're not moving. So, like when I said

1145
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: earlier about movement, like, movement through something also means that

1146
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: we need to move through the conversations, We need to

1147
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: move through the difficult times, and like that movement in

1148
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: this case looks like us having a conversation about something

1149
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: that is bothering us are stressful, right, And once we

1150
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: have an understanding of that, it just is also freeing

1151
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: up our capacity to like feel safe, right, and also

1152
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: frees up our capacity to understand that it's okay not

1153
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: to be okay. And I think that a lot of

1154
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: us are taught to like move through life not acknowledging

1155
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: the moments where we're not okay and feeling bad when

1156
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: we're like, hey, it's not okay, and we need to

1157
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of move into a space of saying like, no,

1158
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have a good day and here's why, right,

1159
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: or yeah, I did have a good day and here's why.

1160
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes people hate talking to me because

1161
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: I'll be like how are you? And then I'll be

1162
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: like I'm good, and then I'll be like okay, but

1163
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: why are you good? Like what, like you know what

1164
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean? And then they're like, oh, I'm talking to Rebecca, right,

1165
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: And then some people were like, hey, I already know

1166
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: you already know that I'm not good, So here's what happened, right?

1167
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: Because I also feel like if you're empathic and not

1168
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: feel sense when something's up with somebody, and you'll be

1169
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: able to be like, Okay, what's really going on? Right?

1170
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: And so I think that we're conditioned to just leave

1171
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: it at I'm good or it was okay, right, and

1172
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: like what made it okay? What made it not okay?

1173
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: Because it also provides us an opportunity for our bodies

1174
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: to be able to let us know and communicate our

1175
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: boundaries right. And so sometimes when we're in these situations

1176
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: and we're or under stressed or whatever, beyond a professional

1177
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: just talking to somebody to be able to say, this

1178
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: is what happened, This is the ways in which I

1179
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: felt like angry or my boundaries were crossed, and legitimizing

1180
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: that story for yourself and also allowing you the space

1181
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: to say, like, I have more than enough feelings that

1182
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: extend beyond I'm good and I'm fine.

1183
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh so powerful. Such a good note to

1184
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 2: end on.

1185
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 3: There are so many other tools that you can utilize

1186
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 3: to counteract stress to come back to calm, but of

1187
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 3: course these are just a few to get you started.

1188
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 3: A good jumping off point, Rebecca. For those that aren't
