WEBVTT - When Knowledge Isn’t Enough: Turning What You Know Into Who You Are

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Knowledge is really just the accumulation of all the information

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that we receive in our mind. It is purely intellectual.

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>It's regurgitation of information that we learn. But wisdom is

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>gathering the knowledge and then actually applying it. I'm Raley

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 1>Wukiah and on my podcast A Really Good Cry, we

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 1>embrace the messy and the beautiful, providing a space for

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>raw and fielded conversations that celebrate vulnerability and allow you

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to tune in to learn, connect and find comfort together.

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey everyone, and welcome back to this week's episode of every

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Really Good Cry.

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I hope you've had such a wonderful week.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, earlier this week, I started to feel a

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 1>little bit overwhelmed with the amount of information that we

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>as humans have access to. I was trying to find

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a course that I wanted to do, and I realized

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 1>there were just so many places that did the courses,

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>and then there was online information about it, and then

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>there was things on social media, and then it just

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>felt too overwhelming, and I decided that I didn't want

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to commit to anything and don't want to apply for

0:00:59.200 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>anything because I.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Just know what to pick.

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, at times, I think it is just way

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>too much information that we have access to, and the

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>problem is also that it conflicts so much. Right It's

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>like one place will tell you to eat avocados, another

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>place will tell you that avocados are really bad for you.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 2>And that's just the simplest things.

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 1>There is just so much information that is thrown at

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>us on a daily basis. You can literally scroll through

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>social media or speak to my new bff chat dpt

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>or as we in the office call her Gabby princessa Tiara,

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>that is actually what we call her, and you can

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>learn everything from how to hack a phone to how

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to make a missionin star Worthy Salad, and literally a

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of minutes, you can feel like an expert in

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of minutes. And so I feel like we

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>live in this world where it's never been easier to

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like an expert that we don't actually know much about,

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and to feel like an expert on something we haven't

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>really lived.

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>We end up.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Treating knowledge like a status symbol, something to collect or

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>flaun to attach to our identity. And I personally can

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>hold my hands up and say that has definitely been me.

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But I was actually recently listening to this podcast where

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>they were discussing the difference between knowledge and wisdom, and

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>they said this one sentence that sparked my thought for

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>this entire episode, that knowledge puffs up and wisdom builds up.

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And I sat with that sentence for a little bit,

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and so many thoughts came to my mind, like how

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>this wellness and self help space teaches us so much,

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.359
<v Speaker 1>and it's so beautiful that we have access to all

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>these quotes on a regular basis, Like my for you

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>page is often filled ninety percent with really great quotes

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>that make me think, or make me more thoughtful, or

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>make me more compassionate, or help me grow in some way.

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>And so we actually have the ability to look at

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>so much. But that learning can sometimes just become a crutch,

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>a distraction from actually doing the real work. So we

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>end up thinking we know better, but we don't end

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>up actually doing better. We end up constantly consuming, consuming, consuming,

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>which makes us think, oh, we're obviously learning, which means

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>we're obviously doing good by learning these things, but we're

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>really digesting and putting these things into practice into our life.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And then I started reflecting, and when I first started

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>creating content, and I entered this wellness space, and I

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>felt this intense pressure to know everything.

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really do that well at school.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I got quiet catastrophic grades, and I really struggled with

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>conventional learning, and for a while I felt like I

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>really carried that deep insecurity about that. So once I

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>actually found a space that I was interested in and

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I was thriving in and that I loved to learn about,

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I almost overcorrected. I consumed books and podcasts and workshops

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and science and scripture not just to learn, but to

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>prove things, to prove that I was worthy of having

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a voice, to prove that I deserve to be in

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>this space, to prove I guess also to myself that

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I deserve to be here. And I wasn't learning to

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>live it. I was learning to show that I knew it.

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>And there's such different things from that time. I feel

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>like I've really had to work hard on not trying

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to prove myself, not trying to prove my intelligence or

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to keep trying to accumulate knowledge for the sake of show,

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>but instead learning it, to live it and share it

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>through who I am, not what I know. Knowledge is

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>really just the accumulation of all the information that we

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>receive in our mind. It is purely intellectual. It's regurgitation

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of information that we learn. But wisdom is gathering the

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>knowledge and then actually applying it. Knowledge tells you what

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>to do, but wisdom is when you embody it through action,

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>through your relationships, and through your choices, especially in the

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>times when no one is watching. It was such a

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>great reminder to me that it is not about how

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>much that you've learnt in your life, but about what

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you've actually lived. I think accumulating knowledge actually ends up

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>feeling the ego, because when you think about it being intellectual,

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>or when you feel like you know a lot, you

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>can end up feeling superior to people who don't.

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Know that information.

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>It can create this I know more than other situation

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>in your own mind, and we as humans are always

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to find reasons to superior. It's like my race

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>is better than yours, my religion's better than yours, what

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>my mind knows is better than your mind, and we

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>always try and create a hierarchy or a way of

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>feeling better about ourselves through something. And I think knowledge

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and intellect ends up being one of those things. I

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>remember my teacher rather Thanswami once said this, and I

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>have shared this one line in pretty much every interview

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>that I've done because it really stuck with me.

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>He said that knowledge is useless unless it's.

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Shared, and I'd actually add to that that not just

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>shared in words, but in how you live. And it's

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>funny because I was thinking about it, and everything that

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>we actually learn, we obviously are learning from other people

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>or a book or or even Instagram, and yet we

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>end up holding on to it or holding it within

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>us like it's our information. As soon as I've heard it,

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.679
<v Speaker 1>I own it, like we created it. But actually, nothing

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>is new. Nothing is actually new in this world. Everything

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 1>already exists ideas, words, theories, whether it exists in the

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>depth sub scriptures that people don't know about yet or

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>in the mind of someone that's just been unspoken most things,

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>or I think everything has already existed, and so everything

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>we learn is learnt from somewhere, from nature, from our parents,

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>from teachers, from books, from songs. But yet this desire

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to be the best or be original and unique and

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>things being mine take over the actual information and actually

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>using it rather than owning it. Really, when you let

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 1>knowledge flow through you and you become a vessel for

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>it rather than the owner of it, and you end

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>up pouring it into how you love, how you lead,

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>and how you show up. That is when it turns

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>into wisdom. It's actually just like in our body, when

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>food is undigested in the stomach it turns into tuxins,

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>or when thoughts are left too long in the mind

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it can cause anxiety. And in the same way, knowledge

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>is not supposed to just sit in us and be

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>stagnant and be held captive within us, but it's meant

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to be utilized as a tool to serve other people

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 1>and ourselves. Knowledge is reading them up, and wisdom is

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>walking in the path. Knowledge fills them, but wisdom transforms

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the heart and it shows itself through action. I think

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I've mentioned this before on the podcast, but I was

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>reading Ryan Holiday's book The Daily Stoic, and I've really

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>been enjoying seeing the similarities and comparisons actually to Vadic

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>literature and Stoicism. There is so much similarity between them,

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and the Stoics actually speak about this too. Marcus Aurelius,

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>this Roman emperor and philosopher, asked the question from what

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>source do you spring? What power fuels you? And what

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>great question to reflect on a regular basis, because if

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>your fuel is ego, you're trying to prove, perform, accumulate,

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>then you might become clever, but you will not become wise.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Wisdom in both stoic and veadic traditions is action born

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of self mastery.

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not about what you say. It's about how you live.

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not about having the right ideas, but it's about

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>knowing what to do with them and actually doing it.

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>You become what you live, not what you learn. And

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's really important because it is so easy

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to feel like you know a lot just by.

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 2>What you read.

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>It's so easy to know that, oh, I should be

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>eating well, but am I actually going to put them

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>into practice by buying the right ingredients, by learning how

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to cook, by meal planning and prepping my week, so

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I end up eating those things. Such a simple thing

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>that it applies to but it applies like that in

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>every situation. It's like when they make the joke of

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>doctors knowing that smoking is bad for you, but they

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>still smoke. You know, they see it the most that

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not good for you, but you still do it.

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's one thing about knowing all the things that

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you should be doing or all the things that you

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>want to be doing that make you a better person,

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>or that make your physical body better or your mental

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>state better, or that are good for other people, or

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>how to be better in a relationship. You can read

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>all the books, but how are you putting it into practice?

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>So I started to asking myself a couple of questions

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to really differentiate whether I'm living from a place of

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>wisdom or from a place of knowledge and ego. Those

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>questions are number one, am I trying to impress or express?

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 2>And two?

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Am I using knowledge to connect or control? Those two

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>questions have helped me to always differentiate what I'm living from.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Am I living from a place of ego? Or am

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I living from a place of wisdom and wanting to share?

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>So the two were am I trying to impress or

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to express? And am I using knowledge to connect or

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to control? So simple, but you can learn so much

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>about yourself by answering those questions. And if you're like me,

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and you realized, damn, I answered those questions and I'm

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>not in my wisdom era right now, but I really

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>want to be. I actually just started doing small things

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 1>to help me get there, one of which was picking

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>one teaching to live by this week. Less is more, digest,

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>absorb and churn it. So instead of saving like ten

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>podcasts or screenshots of quotes and reading all these things,

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>choose one idea, like I just did from the podcast

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>that I heard. I heard that one sentence and it

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>inspired this whole podcast because I really thought about it

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>for that full week. So find one thing, one idea

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that resonated with you and discuss it. Think about how

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you can apply it into your life, share it with others,

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and put it into practice. An example of that is easy,

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>something like gratitude. We read quotes on gratitude all day

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and hear about it, but actually writing down things you're

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>grateful for daily, or expressing gratitude to someone every single day,

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that is putting it into practice. If it's something like

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>be present, how much do you'd hear be present? Just

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>be present in the moment, Well, try leaving your phone

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in another room during a meal, or make eye contact

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>when you're speaking to someone. Think about how you can

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>take that information and make it practical in your life

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and put it into practice. Are Vada and Vedic text

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 1>actually emphasize the value of silence and Smariner reflection, and

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>so after learning something new, just taking him a five

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>minutes of quiet to ask how does this change me?

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>How can I integrate this into my life? And where

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>does it apply in my life? Just simply taking a

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>moment to pause after hearing something or reading something can

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.040
<v Speaker 1>make such a difference. I've learned to do that with

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>my friends lately, when we're having a conversation and so

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.559
<v Speaker 1>much comes out of them, and I take a moment

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to reflect and write down what are the things that

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I learned in that conversation, What were the things that

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel I want to expand on or explore, What

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>were the things that make me feel uncomfortable? And why

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>really exploring the conversation you're having rather than just being

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>half present and forgetting them the moment you leave them.

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>There's so much we can learn if you're just there.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>There's so much you can learn if you're just noticing,

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and especially if you're noticing to learn, it's really different

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>from being present just to hear when you're there to

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 1>actually learn from a situation. When I go up for

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a walk, okay, if I'm trying to really be present

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and learn from nature. I'll see so much more. My

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>eyes will notice so much more. But if I'm out

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>there just to enjoy, I probably won't. I've probably just

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.199
<v Speaker 1>wander through. But this is really nice. But when you're

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>choosing to see the world from a point of learning

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and digesting and processing, you just see the world so differently. Now,

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I know this actually feels like such a small topic,

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time, it really does change the

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>way that we live life and experience it. We can

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>go our whole lives not really living life, and I

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>don't really want that for us. To be honest, this

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>is what this podcast is about. It's trying to help

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 1>us see the world in a different way, help us

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:17.079
<v Speaker 1>to create these habits and rituals and practices that actually

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>help us grow into better people, into the people that

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>we want to be. So these small mind shifts, even

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>though they seem extremely small, they're doing the needful and

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>helping us to grow not just for ourselves but for

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>the people around us too, and to just be living

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>more authentically, which is what I think we all want

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to be doing in our life.

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>So I hope this conversation was useful.

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I hope these random reflections that I had from that

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>one sentence ends up being beneficial to your ears and

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to your heart too, And I hope that you put

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>these things into practice. Read to quote, think about how

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you can apply it, and sending us so much love

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>for this week.

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Hope it's more intentional and.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>You feel more present and you learn so much more

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>just by changing the way that you're viewing the world.

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much for listening and sending up so much love.
