I am jumping on 17 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: and I'm going to be doing a solo episode, so 18 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy. First of all, I want to 19 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: tell a story and then we're gonna diagnose what kind 20 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: of happened. Because I got told from my good friend 21 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: and coach pretty much that it was a crossroads for 22 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: my two little boys, Body and Billy, and it was 23 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: a bit of a divide for them for their childhood. 24 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: And he said that you'd done a really good job 25 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: and it was very big, and I thought it was 26 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: really cool when I was doing it, but I didn't 27 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: think it was that big, but I thought maybe we 28 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: could all learn from it. Let's dive in the story 29 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: is the other weekend, I was just at home with 30 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: the boys and Body, my eldest. He was a bit moody. 31 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: He was pretty moody, a bit snappy. He just wasn't 32 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: being his best self, and he was affecting the people 33 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: around him, and more than others, he was affecting his 34 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: brother Billy. They've got a pretty big gap between each other. 35 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: Body's nine and Billy is three, and it can be 36 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: really difficult for Body because he's so much younger. And 37 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: it was just not being his best version of hisself 38 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 2: from what I've seen, and it got to the point 39 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: where it was a bit too much for me and 40 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: Ash and I went over and we were getting annoyed 41 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: as well, and we said to him, like boats, what's 42 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: going on? And then so he initially went in and 43 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: said that Billy's annoying him. He's not doing this. I 44 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: just don't want to play with him. He doesn't want 45 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: to play with me. And I'm like, well, buddy, if 46 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: he doesn't want to play with you, it's there's a 47 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: reason why they're And he keeps on playing and doing 48 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: the same thing again. And then I'd come back to 49 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: him and I said, hey, like, what's going on, Like, 50 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: what's really going on? It's not Billy, because if it 51 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: was Billy, you'd be able to fix it. And I said, 52 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: what's happened this week? Ash was there as well, and 53 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: she helped me guide the conversation as well. Yeah, we 54 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: both said, like, what's happened during the week, what's really 55 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: going on? And then he's like, well, at school, my 56 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: friends they play handble together and it's bought that they 57 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: like doing at the moment. So a lot of their 58 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: friends or the certain group, a certain couple of guys 59 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: are saying to him that he is cheating and he's 60 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: not playing by the rules and his calls are really 61 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: wrong and it's really affecting body. And I said, all right, 62 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: that's that's fine. I do remember that back in the 63 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: day as well. I used to handble and I said, well, 64 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: how do you feel, like, what's the feeling when they 65 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 2: do that to you? Because it can affect people or 66 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: it cannot affect people. And he said that he felt controlled. 67 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: I had to guide him a little bit on that 68 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: because he didn't quite see felt controlled. Yeah, a bit 69 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: annoyed and a few other emotions. So I had to 70 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: guide him on that. And yeah, we got to controlled. 71 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 2: And I said, well, that's really good because you you 72 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: are now aware of it. And I referenced it back 73 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: to Billy and they said, what do you think you're 74 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: doing to Billy? And he said, I'm trying controlling him 75 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: and I said yeah, and I said there's always two 76 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: ways this can go. And I have told him this 77 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: for a few times, and I said, it's either why 78 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: you're getting triggered and why you're getting these emotions come 79 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: up so strong is because one way, it's a memory 80 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: that you're holding on to when he was a bit 81 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: younger that he felt really controlled, and he stored that 82 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: memory as a memory where he will always remember not 83 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: be controlled. That he doesn't like being controlled, so it's 84 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: a memory, or it's the other way that he doesn't 85 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: like that in himself. Yeah, so if it's controlled, he 86 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: doesn't like that. He controls other Peo people and they 87 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 2: do coexist as well, these two options. So I said 88 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: that to him and he said, it's the memory. I said, well, 89 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: what memory when you were younger, and he said, ah, 90 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 2: just he couldn't quite remember it, because it's it's hard 91 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 2: to talk to a nine year old about this stuff. 92 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: It's a lot easier to talk to an adult because 93 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: they can remember a lot more. Surprisingly. Yeah, so we're 94 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 2: going back and forth, and it was a bit difficult, 95 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: and I said, like being controlled, there's always two sides. 96 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: So if he feels controlled, he is controlling that. And 97 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: so I was explaining what controlled is, the different sides 98 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 2: of it, the different ways to think about it. But 99 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: moral of the story is we always have control over 100 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: our actions. And I do hear this a lot from 101 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: adults and friends and family that I don't have choice, 102 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: Like I don't don't have a choice. I have to 103 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: do this job. I always challenge them and say, well, 104 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: you're choosing to not have a choice, so you actually 105 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: do have a choice, and they're like no, they just 106 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: they can't can't bring it in the head, and that's 107 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: fine because for their survival they have to believe in. 108 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: Then I don't press on it anymore. But in this 109 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: matter with body, he did see it. I kind of 110 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: let him go for a little bit, but it didn't 111 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: He's like, nah, there's I'm still not good. So I said, 112 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: I'm johnn to do some padding. And I have learned 113 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: how to do padding, and that's when you had on 114 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: your meridians over your body and you're able to regulate 115 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: an emotion. It's in the best skill for me to learn. 116 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: That was after my NLP license, and it has helped 117 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: me with my family because I do it on friends 118 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: and family. So we did some padding and I guided 119 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: him through that, and after that I was able to 120 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: talk to him about the control again on a higher level, 121 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: like he was an adult, and he took it in. 122 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: Five minutes after that we did that, and I was like, 123 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: how do you feel? And he's like, I don't really know. 124 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, that's all good. Let's just let 125 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: us see it and let's a chill out. And yeah, 126 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: five ten minutes went and his mood completely changed. He 127 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: was playing with Billy. He was very patient, he was 128 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: very happy. He was dancing, we had some music gone 129 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 2: and completely changed and for the rest of the weekend 130 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: he was fine. And then he said to us that 131 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: he's going to go to school and he's going to 132 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: have a conversation with his friends, the ones he was 133 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: getting these emotions from, and he said, I'm going to 134 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 2: talk to them and I'm going to let them know 135 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: that I don't like the way they treat me, and 136 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: that if they want to keep doing that, he's going 137 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: to go and find some different friends to play with. 138 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: So he come up and said that to us, and 139 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: we were very impressed and said, that's really good, buddy, 140 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: like you, that's exactly what you should be doing. And 141 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: he did go to school, and I don't think he 142 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: didn't say anything, but what he did was he went 143 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 2: and played hamble with the friends he did like and 144 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: the other ones did want to play, and he said, no, 145 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: I'm just going to play with these friends. So he 146 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: did it all by himself. After that, we can use 147 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: this as adults, like when people come and you get triggered, 148 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: or you'd say something to someone and they spark up 149 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: and they go in vital flights and they start attacking 150 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: you because they goes has to protect them. That's what 151 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 2: it's there for, and it's good, but it's to see 152 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: that that adult has actually got some pain that they've 153 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 2: got to actually face. So when someone does say to you, oh, like, 154 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: let's say this is your partner, like why did you 155 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: put the dishes there? Like why didn't you just do them? 156 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: And you snap And this happens a lot. If it's 157 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 2: a bit like oh shit, like what was that for? 158 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: I didn't do anything, that's when you can have this 159 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: conversation and just say just grab your other, your partner, 160 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: and just say, hey, like, what's going on? What's really happening? 161 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: Because it's never what is in front of you, because 162 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: if it's in front of you wouldn't have those feelings 163 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 2: because you would just have the emotion that should be 164 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: attached to it. But when it's an emotion that's not 165 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: quite making sense in the scenario, it's always something deeper 166 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: or it's just something you've had, you've had a bad week. 167 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: This is very common because we will have jobs where 168 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: it's painful and you have had a big day or 169 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: some sort of stress, like we've got so many stresses. 170 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: So when this does happen, I want to challenge you 171 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: all to take a step back, take a few deep breaths. 172 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: And this will be hard because your ego will be 173 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: up and be like, hey, don't fucking talk to me 174 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: like that. That's not on, Like I'm going to go 175 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: instead of doing that, take a few deep breaths, say hey, 176 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: that wasn't very nice. So you're protecting your inner child, 177 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: You're protecting yourself, and then say what's going on? What's happening? 178 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: Because I do remember when I was learning about this 179 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: stuff and I was going to see my coach and 180 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 2: Georgia didn't quite get into it just yet, and she 181 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: was very reactive. She's a very passionate woman, and back 182 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: in the old days with her, she used to make 183 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: me cry a fair bit. Actually, and I know I 184 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: have said this on here. I was very emotional. Was 185 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: the fight or flight response. I'd just go quiet. I 186 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to respond and I wouldn't be able 187 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: to have a conversation with someone when I was triggered, 188 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: And it was a lot so with Georgia. She used 189 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: to trigger the shit out of me. We would always 190 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 2: come back to good terms after, and that's the beauty 191 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: about being siblings. But when I learned this sort of thing, 192 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: I was able to get through conflicts and conversations with 193 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: her a lot easier, and our relationship got so much stronger. 194 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: So when I said, hey, like I don't want to 195 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: do this in the business, or let's do this, and 196 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: she would react and be like, oh, you can't say 197 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: that to me, like you can't do that or go 198 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: against me, and it would be like it that was 199 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: not necessary, like that was uncalled for. I started to 200 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 2: do this, I said, hey, what's going on, Like this 201 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: isn't you. This behavior is not you. You're a beautiful person. 202 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: What's happening? And then it would switch back on and 203 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: she would get upset because it'd be something that's really 204 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: triggering her, and then we were able to talk about 205 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 2: the real reason why that emotion was coming up in 206 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: not the right way, and by the end the end 207 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: of the conversation, Georgia felt a lot more safer with me. 208 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 2: Were able to sort it out and then figure out 209 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: what was actually in front of us, and usually most 210 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: of the time she'd be like, yeah, it's all good now. 211 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: So having this knowledge and these little techniques to get 212 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 2: through these sorts of things, especially with your partner, for me, 213 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: my values, my kids as well. It's going to change 214 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: the way they're brought up. I don't know about you, 215 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: but when I was growing up, I didn't get to 216 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 2: express my feelings. And if I got that knowledge to 217 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: be able to go through my emotions and feel them 218 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: the right way and not be controlled, I would have 219 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: had such a different outcome. And to give that to 220 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: your kids, I think is the most powerful thing ever 221 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: and it's going to help them so much through their life. Yeah. 222 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: So I just wanted to bring that up and give 223 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: that awareness to everyone that it's not always what's in 224 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: front of you. It's not always these emotions that do 225 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: control us. When someone is known for being very reactive, 226 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 2: very emotional, very snappy, it's just because they've got a 227 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: lot of and they can't they don't have this space 228 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: in their head to filter it. Knowing this, you'll be 229 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: able to have better relationships with people, and you'll be 230 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: able to uncover what a true person is feeling, what 231 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,119 Speaker 2: they're doing. And I have said this a number of times. 232 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: A great technique is always when someone is quiet in 233 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: the conversation, ask them what they're thinking. There's always awkward silences, 234 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: and our response is to think, oh, what have I done? 235 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: I need to tell them a story about me, me me, 236 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: like im this awkward silence. I need to say something 237 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: or ask the question about the weather or something or 238 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: something like that, just straight away say what are you thinking? 239 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: What's going on in your head right now? Because they're 240 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: thinking about something because it's an awkward silence. So it's 241 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: just that communication and it's showing what people are actually feeling. 242 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: And I feel like that's such a powerful thing to 243 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: have and the knowledge that's definitely helped me. And yes, 244 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: I said with the kids, they're living a lot happier now. 245 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: Since doing this work and then being able to do 246 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: this on my kids, they have changed massively. I've already 247 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: used to not be able to dance whenever we have 248 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: music on it. It's the same as me how I 249 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: grew up. I would never show anything like that, and 250 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: he was the same and he would never dance. And 251 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: since doing this stuff, when we have music playing, he's 252 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: dancing and he's been silly and he's joking around and 253 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: he's been himself. So it's to give that space to 254 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: your kids. And lastly, on that just picture like if 255 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: you were to do this for your kids, your partner, 256 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: your friends, that relationship is just going to blossom so 257 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 2: much and you're going to give them safety. And to 258 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: give someone safety. Is this the most beautiful thing ever? 259 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 2: Because in this world all we have is relationships. At 260 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: the end of the day, the relationship is number one 261 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: over everything. And I saw this on Instagram that a 262 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: doctor that sees a lot of people when they're passing away, 263 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: like you never you never say where are my trophies? 264 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: Where are my achievements? I want all my money with me, 265 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 2: They say, where's my loved ones? I want to say 266 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: goodbye to them? I want to be with the people 267 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: I love. And to be able to put this work 268 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 2: into the people that you do love and the people 269 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: you see and the relationships, that's time well spent. And 270 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 2: that's that's what I've learned doing this sort of stuff. 271 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: My self development journey is definitely helped me massively in 272 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: those areas and to be able to do that is, Yeah, 273 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: it's amazing. So I would challenge you when something comes up, 274 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: when someone gets triggered, when someone sparks up and says 275 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: something out of the ordinary, not like them, Well maybe 276 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: it is like them, but when they get triggered. Just 277 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: say what's happening, what's going on, and what's really going on, 278 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 2: because their first response will always be their ego, and 279 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: from there, see what happens, see the magic unfold. You 280 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: will absolutely love it. So that is my story and 281 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: that's what I've learned over this time, and I hope 282 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: you've enjoyed. I hope you have the best day, and 283 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: I will see you on the next podcast.
