Your brain has no ramp 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: up period. Your brain basically has no startup mode. It 24 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: has to go from zero to sixty miles per hour 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: and three seconds, like a sports car, a supercar. We 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: are pressurizing our minds today to process as much as 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: seventy four gigabytes a day.

Now, I want to share with you 54 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: the key lessons that I'm taking with me into twenty 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: twenty four. Often at this time of year, I'll say, well, 56 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: here are my big lessons of twenty twenty three. This 57 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: is what I learned. And I did an episode like 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: that on my birthday on the sixth of September. But 59 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: today I wanted to approach it differently. I wanted to 60 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: share with you lessons that I'm taking with me, that 61 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: i'm taking forward that I believe are going to help 62 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: me in the future. Really, that's the point of a lesson, 63 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: right the point of a lesson is in I learned 64 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: that great, Thank you so much. Now let's learn a 65 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: new lesson. The point of a lesson is, now that 66 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: I've learned it, I'm actually going to put it into practice. 67 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm actually going to utilize it in the following year. 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: So I want to dive straight in and this thing 69 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: I think is going to resonate with a lot of you. 70 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: And it's why it's my big lesson that I want 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: to take into the new year. It's this idea of 72 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. How many of you 73 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: stress about your health or being healthy. How many of 74 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: you stress about meditation. How many of you stress about 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: making sure you don't miss a day in your journal. 76 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: How many of you stress to make sure that you 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: read your affirmations out in the morning. How many of 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: you stress that you're not getting to the gym enough 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: or yoga enough, or whatever else it may be. How 80 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: many of you stress about well being. What I've realized 81 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: is that in this world of wanting to be better, 82 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: do better, grow more, learn more, which by the way, 83 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: is beautiful, it's a great way to live. I found 84 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: that often in that journey, we start experiencing more stress, 85 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: we start putting ourselves under greater pressure and stress, and 86 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: we have to really understand stress as a spectrum. This 87 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: is something that I'm taking into twenty twenty four. It's huge. 88 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: I want you to write it down right now, take 89 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: a screenshot. I want you to explain this to a friend. 90 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: So I was learning about this idea of how it 91 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: can be helpful to look at stress as a scale, 92 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: as a spectrum, rather than I am stressed or I'm 93 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: not stressed. Really, there's actually a scale. At one end 94 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 1: there's you stress spelt eu s t r ss U stress, 95 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: and at the other end there's distress. Now, let me 96 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: explain these and define these for you. When you look 97 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: at the word you stress, what it means is a 98 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, 99 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: and emotional wellbeing. Right during positive stress, you stress, such 100 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: as working hard at work for a promotion or feeling 101 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: like you've got the reward of a vacation, feel good 102 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: chemicals called endorphins are released. Now, I don't think we 103 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: talk about this a lot. What we talk about is 104 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: at the other end of the spectrum, which is distress, 105 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: and the definition of distress or the meaning of distress 106 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: is great pain, anxiety or sorrow, acute physical or mental suffering, affliction, trouble, 107 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Right now, I think what we're 108 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: used to experiencing and what we're used to referencing when 109 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: we talk about stress is this idea of distress. So 110 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: you stress helps you break through from your comfort zone, 111 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: It helps you take on new challenges, it helps you 112 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: find motivation, whereas distress is the stress that makes you 113 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: feel overwhelmed. It's what affects your mood. It's that negative 114 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: type of stress that affects your sleep. It's almost like 115 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: when you're stressing about sleeping well, or you're stressing about 116 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: the fact that you're stressed when you're not sleeping well, 117 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: and that perpetuates itself. So I want to look at 118 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: stress as a spectrum, and the lesson I'm taking through 119 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: is I need to make sure which level of stress 120 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm putting myself under. This is about the stress you control, 121 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: the stress you allow yourself to experience. Are you putting 122 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: you stress onto yourself or are you putting yourself in 123 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: positions of distress? Are you putting stress on yourself to 124 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: feel better? To encourage yourself to motivate yourself to move 125 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: yourself forward, or are you putting stress on yourself, being 126 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: critical of yourself, saying you're not getting enough done, You're 127 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: too far behind, right, you haven't done enough this year. 128 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: It's really really interesting to me because research suggests that 129 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: chronic stress contributes to high blood pressure, promotes the formation 130 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: of artery clogging deposits, and causes brain changes that may 131 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: contribute to anxiety, depression, and addiction. And more. Preliminary resets 132 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: suggests that chronic stress may also contribute to obesity, both 133 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: through direct mechanisms causing people to eat more or indirectly 134 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: decreasing sleep and exercise. Now, I know you're listening to 135 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: me already, going Jay, this is stressing me out. How 136 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,559 Speaker 1: many of you are listening right now? And the reason 137 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: I exposed you to that definition is because we're used 138 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: to hearing something like that and putting ourselves under distress. 139 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: So we hear that and our response is, oh crap, 140 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm not sleeping enough, I'm not exercising enough, 141 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm not not not right. Whereas you, stress is actually saying, well, 142 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: when I work out, when I push myself to work out, 143 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: I actually feel better afterwards. You know what, when I 144 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: actually sleep earlier, I know that I'll be happier tomorrow. 145 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: Your allowing yourself to recognize that success follows your stress, right, 146 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: You have an understanding that when I do something that stressful, 147 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: it leads to me being successful. And when I say successful, 148 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: I don't mean materially or financially. I'm talking about the 149 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: fact that you see an intrinsic reward in why you 150 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: sleep early, in why you exercise. So it's now not 151 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: when I don't sleep early enough, I don't work out enough, 152 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't eat healthy enough. It's actually saying well, when 153 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: I eat healthy, I feel better, my gut feels better, 154 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: my digestion's better, I feel more energized. I really want 155 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: you to take this deeply on board, because I think 156 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: so many of us are living in spaces of distress 157 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: and not recognizing just how tiresome it can be to 158 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: keep stressing yourself out. We keep letting stress get the 159 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: better of us, or stress gets the best of us 160 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: because we put ourselves under this stress. And I've realized, 161 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: whether it's my work goals, my financial goals, my spiritual goals, 162 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: my emotional goals, I have recognized that putting myself under 163 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: distress only makes me less productive, less effective, and less impactful. 164 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: How many times this year be honest with me? How 165 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: many times this year did you put yourself under too 166 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: much stress? Raise your hands, not your heads? How many 167 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: times this year, be honest with me? Did you not 168 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: allow yourself the benefit of the doubt? How many times 169 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: did you not cut yourself some slack? How many times 170 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: did you make yourself feel worse? What I've found is 171 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: that guilt blocks growth. Guilt does not lead to growth. 172 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: Guilt blocks growth. You may have that instant response if 173 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: I want to be better, Notice how that's a positive 174 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: statement versus I'm not good enough. Notice how you're saying 175 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: the same thing, but you're not right. Look at that scent. 176 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: I want to be better. I am going to be 177 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: better versus I'm not good enough. How do you think 178 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: your mind and your body react to those statements? When 179 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: you look at the common internal causes of stress, there's 180 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: a natural pessimism and negative outlook on life. Hence the 181 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: statement I'm not good enough. What you'll realize is that 182 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: we're all living in one of these two modalities. We're 183 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: either living in new stress or distress. Right, So, if 184 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: you're in distress, you're saying, I'm not good enough. I'm 185 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: going to be negative about stuff. If you're living in 186 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: new stress, you're saying, you know what, I'm going to 187 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: use stress to motivate me. I recognize the value of it. 188 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Another common internal cause of stress is the inability to 189 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: accept uncertainty. Now here's what we do when we put 190 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: ourselves in distress. We're basically saying, there should have been 191 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: a certain result, there should have been a defined, conclusive result. 192 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: And without a defined conclusive result, we're like, well, we 193 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: must be failures, we must be wrong. Another common internal 194 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: cause is rigid thinking a lack of flexibility. This one's 195 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: really really interesting to me because often we think that 196 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: rigid routines and patterns are good for us. And, by 197 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: the way, they are good for us. Having a morning 198 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: routine is fantastic. But if you stress that you missed 199 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: a day of your morning routine, or maybe you stress 200 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: because you missed a aspect of your morning routine. Right, 201 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: you're doing the whole thing. You're meditating, you're working out, 202 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: you're journaling, and then one day you missed journaling. All 203 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're throwing it all out. You're saying, 204 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: oh gosh, like just messed up one day, you got 205 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: called into work early one day, you had to stay 206 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: up late for work one day, and all of a sudden, 207 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: you're going, God, I just wanted to be able to 208 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: stick to my program. I don't have any flexibility, right. 209 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: That actually causes more stresses us having this belief that 210 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: I have to do the same exact thing every day, which, 211 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: by the way, isn't realistic. I want to ask you, 212 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: what activity could you say you have done every day 213 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: of your life forever without fail. It's probably breathing, brushing 214 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: your teeth, and showering, And even that third one for 215 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: some of you may be questionable, right, but hopefully we 216 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: brush our teeth every day, we breathe of course every day, 217 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: and we shower every day. Those are three things that 218 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: you can say, yes, I've done those three things pretty 219 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: much every day of my life. Beyond that, what else? Eating? 220 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: Of course, drinking water, of course, the obvious things. But 221 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: beyond that, if you took away the basic necessities sleeping, 222 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: if you took away the basic necessities, what could you 223 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: say you've done every single day of your life? It's 224 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: very hard. And so when we get into these rigid 225 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: routines and patterns and we say to ourselves, for the 226 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: rest of my life, I'm going to do this every day, 227 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: every single day. I have to do this because if 228 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't do this, I'm not going to feel good. 229 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna feel at my best if I don't 230 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: do this. Notice how different that is to a mindset 231 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: of saying I feel better when I do this, versus 232 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna feel at my best if I don't 233 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: do this. That's distress you stress is I always feel 234 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: better when I do this. I'm happy when I do this. 235 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: I get to do this. Notice how rigid thinking actually 236 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: just compounds stress. So I'm not saying don't have rigid patterns. 237 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying, have a different relationship with your rigid patterns. 238 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: Have a different relationship with your morning routine. It's not 239 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: a must. It's not a I have to. It's not 240 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: a if I don't. It's a I get to. It's 241 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: a this makes me better, it's a imagine what's possible. Right. 242 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: As soon as you see that rigid thinking and lack 243 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: of flexibility leading to negative self talk, start to become 244 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: really mindful Another common internal cause of stress is unrealistic 245 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: expectations or perfor fectionism. Now people often look at perfectionism 246 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: as something to strifle. It almost makes you feel like 247 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: you care more. Right. I've often had people say to me, well, Jay, 248 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: if you don't believe in perfectionism, does that mean you 249 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: don't care? And what I've realized is actually, caring too 250 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: much can make what I'm creating worse. It can actually 251 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: make me more anxious. It can actually make me less 252 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: able to do the thing. I'll give an example even 253 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: with on purpose, if I'm extra stressed about a guest 254 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm about to have on I actually believe I have 255 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: a worse conversation. I feel that I have better conversations 256 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: when I've prepared enough but not over prepared. And that's 257 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: the word I want to share with you. I want 258 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: you to look at your life as how can you 259 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: prepare but not over prepare? How can you create but 260 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: not overcreate? How can you think but not overthink? Notice 261 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: how it's when we add the word over overthink, overcompensate, right, 262 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: over prepare, That's when we're like, well that's a bit 263 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: over at the top, Right, that's the feeling. So when 264 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: it comes to deepening developing a healthier relationship with our 265 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: perfectionist mindset. I'm not saying, see, this is what we 266 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: do as humans. We oscillate between two extremes. We go, oh, well, 267 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: I was a perfectionist. Now I'm just gonna do whatever 268 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: comes out. I'm just gonna be quick. And by the way, 269 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: that is the process to get back to the middle. 270 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: So if you meet a friend or if you find 271 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: yourself oscillating between two different extremes, chances are you're actually 272 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: trying to find your middle. You're actually trying to find 273 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: your center. And finding your center is a beautiful thing. 274 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: So I'll give an example. If you're someone who was 275 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: a people pleaser, and now you're saying, really eye boundaries. 276 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: And often when we see our friends do this, we go, 277 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: oh god, they're like overcompensating. But no, we almost have 278 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: to do that in the beginning. If you as someone 279 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: who's a perfectionist, you might just need to fail every day, right, 280 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: You might just need to fail every day. You might 281 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: need to take on a minithing every day that allows 282 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: you to break through that desire to be perfect and 283 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: make everything add up and make everything stack up. Notice 284 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: how we have to almost move from one extreme to 285 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: the other to find ourselves in the middle. In order 286 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: to develop a healthy relationship with anything in the world, 287 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: we have to find our center. We have to find 288 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: the middle. But in order to find the middle, we 289 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: often have to swing from left to right a few times. 290 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: And as we swing more and more, we start to 291 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: settle in the middle. I want you to ask yourself 292 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: with stress, how many of you go through this with 293 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: stress where you stress yourself out and then you take 294 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: it really easy. And then when you take it really easy, 295 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, no, I'm taking it too easy on 296 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: myself far I need to stress myself out again. That's 297 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: where we're living our unhealthy relationship with anything in the world, 298 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: even with our partners. It's like I see my partner 299 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: every day. I don't need to see my partner all year, right, 300 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: It's that middle path, It's that middle ground. The Buddhy 301 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: used to talk about finding your center. This has been 302 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: a big, big lesson. I'm taking into next year finding 303 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: my center with everything I do, trying not to be 304 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: an extremist, but trying to find my center. But actually 305 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: I take that back, using being an extremist to find 306 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: my center, not avoiding being an extremist. And by the way, 307 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: when I say extremists, I mean the idea of I'm 308 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: being really healthy, I'm being really unhealthy. I may have 309 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: to use that in order to find the middle. And 310 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: by the way, if I judge myself for saying, oh 311 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, I've been too stressed out recently, or I'm 312 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: not pushing myself enough recently, that is that process of 313 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: finding your center. Find your center now. I wanted to 314 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: raise this because I think a lot of us don't 315 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: recognize something about how all of us are experiencing lots 316 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: of different stress. And I wanted to raise this because 317 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: there are ten stressful life events. According to a study, 318 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 1: they found that these are the top stressful life events 319 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: for adults. Number one death of a spouse. Naturally, going 320 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: through the death of a spouse can be one of 321 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: the most stressful events of your life. It affects children 322 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: if you have them. It affects a relationship you've developed, 323 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: It reflects a sense of identity, It impacts your ability 324 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: to think about your future. There's so much that is 325 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: affected by that. If you've been through that this year. 326 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: I want to send my prayers in love to you, 327 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: but I please, please, please, I want you to give 328 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: yourself some grace. Number two on the list is divorce. 329 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 1: I feel like divorces become so common these days that 330 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: we've become somewhat desensitized to it. We just assume that 331 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: if someone's divorced, it's like, yeah, you know I people 332 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: get divorced, get on with it. And it's like, I've 333 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: interviewed people on the podcast this year about going through 334 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: divorces and how difficult and challenging it is. Right, it's 335 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: so challenging emotionally, mentally, spiritually from a family point of view. 336 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: Another one that's on this list is death of a 337 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: close family member. Of course, so many people went through 338 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: this during COVID, and of course this is a regular 339 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: occurrence for so many of us around the world. And 340 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: what I find is that we have this get up 341 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: and go attitude where we almost want to walk it off, 342 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: shake it off, right, so I get up the next 343 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: day and move on. And often we even put on 344 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: a brave face. We have to put on a brave 345 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: face for family members, for children, for friends, whatever it 346 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: may be. And it's not that easy. Next on the 347 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: list is injury or illness natural for that to be there. 348 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: Next is job sorry, Next is marriage. Marriage is one 349 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: of the most stressful life events. Moving in with someone, 350 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: it's one of the most stressful life events. But we 351 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: underplay these things and we say, what's wrong with me? 352 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: What am I doing wrong? Why is everyone else getting 353 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: it right? I'm sharing all of these with you to 354 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: help you realize that if you've been going through stress 355 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: this year, it's natural, it's normal, and I don't want 356 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: you to look at it as a weakness. I don't 357 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: want you to think of it as I'm so weak, 358 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm so lost. Right. The next one is job loss, 359 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: of course makes sense. And then retirement as well. Maybe 360 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: you have a family member or a parent going through 361 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: retirement and maybe they've been acting a bit different. I'm 362 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: also sharing these because I want you to be more 363 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: compassionate to other people. This is a big lesson I'm 364 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: always taking into twenty twenty four is this idea of 365 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: recognizing how different people deal with stress, noticing how unique 366 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: and personal your relationship with stress is and how unique 367 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: everyone else's relationship with stresses. I was talking to someone 368 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: else the other day and they were talking to me 369 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: about how one of their family members is struggling with 370 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: their health and the other family member is in denial. 371 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: And I was saying that, well, sense of denial is 372 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: coming from a sense of fear and care. It's not 373 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: coming from a place of hatred or disregard or being negligent. 374 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: It's actually coming from a place so they're so worried 375 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: or scared to accept the truth. We don't often think 376 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: about it like that, right, this idea of we're so 377 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: scared of people the way they deal with stress. So 378 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: let's move towards you stress. Now, A couple of things 379 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: that have really helped me in my journey with stress is, 380 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: first of all, making a list of all the core 381 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: triggers that I regularly experience of stress. A lot of 382 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: people think that avoiding stress or not thinking about it 383 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: makes it better, but actually exploring it and getting to 384 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: know it better is actually what makes all the difference. 385 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: So when I'm not feeling stressed, I'll make a list 386 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: of what are the things that regularly stress me out. 387 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: It could be a person, it could be a place, 388 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: it could be a project. Now I'll create a response 389 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: that's going to help me deal with that. Right, I'm 390 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: going to create a plan to help me deal with that. 391 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: So let's say I get stressed when I'm invited to 392 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: a social event. Okay, great? What am I going to 393 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: do in order to make that social event more meaningful, 394 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: more purposeful, more thoughtful, more valuable. Am I going to 395 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: seek one person in the networking space to make sure 396 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: I connect deeply? Am I going to practice breath work 397 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: before I leave? Am I going to make sure that 398 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: I've thought about my outfit two weeks in advance, not 399 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: two hours in advance? Right? What can I do to 400 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: support myself in the common occurrences of that situation? I 401 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: find preparing for stress when you're not stressed is much 402 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: better than trying to solve stress when you are stressed. 403 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: A lot of us wait to were stressed to have 404 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: to solve it. The second thing that's made a huge 405 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: difference in my life, a big, big, big difference is 406 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: not sleeping with my phone near my bed. This has 407 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: been a game change. I know I've said it before, 408 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: but I'm saying it again. Stop sleeping with your phone 409 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: near your bed. In twenty twenty four, leave that phone 410 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: in another room, get a real alarm clock, allow yourself 411 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: to wake up without your phone. And sleep without your 412 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: phone because guess what, we're also scrolling just before we 413 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: go to bed. So not only do we get to 414 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: bed thirty minutes later, we're also going to bed with 415 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: all of those ideas, and then in the morning we 416 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: do the same thing. Your brain has no ramp up period. 417 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: Your brain basically has no startup mode. It has to 418 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: go from zero to sixty miles per hour in three seconds, 419 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: like a sports car, a supercar, and it's not trained 420 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: to do that. We are pressurizing our minds today to 421 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: process as much as seventy four gigabytes a day. And ultimately, 422 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: what I'm really sharing here is this idea of knowing 423 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: when to be harder on yourself and when to let go. 424 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: This is wisdom, knowing when to push yourself and when 425 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: to hold back. And here's what I'll say to you. 426 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: If you can push yourself positively towards a goal you 427 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: love with motivation, that's brilliant. If you're starting to push 428 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: yourself out of negativity, condescending language, negative self talk, that's 429 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: when you need to hold back. I want to thank 430 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: you so much for listening to today's episode. I hope 431 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: that stress and your relationship with stress is deeply improved 432 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,479 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Everything we share here is to 433 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: help you positively work on yourself, not negatively hold yourself back. 434 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: I promise you that twenty twenty four are on Purpose 435 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: is going to be an even more phenomenal year.
