It's like you could 820 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 2: literally be you know, the whole sale. You could literally 821 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 2: be the niceness, you know, most appealing, best human ever, 822 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 2: and there's still going to be someone you trigger in 823 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 2: some way who doesn't like you. And it's like such 824 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 2: a big thing of like anytime someone doesn't like you. 825 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 2: And I'm such a people pleaser, so I struggle. I 826 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 2: want everyone to like me and so anytime someone doesn't 827 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 2: like you, it honestly says so much more about the 828 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 2: other part. 829 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's their problem. Yeah. 830 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 2: And then but once you realize that it is quite liberated, 831 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 2: is like fuck everyone else once. As long as you 832 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 2: think like that, yeah, as long as I'm happy, I 833 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 2: think a big thing for me too. And we do 834 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 2: kind of speak about this at the start of like 835 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 2: when you do things for yourself and when you are 836 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 2: kind of like, as long as I like me, yeah, 837 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 2: nothing nothing else matters. And I think that's definitely a transition, 838 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 2: and I honestly think you kind of did it younger 839 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 2: than most people. But there's definitely a transition I reckon 840 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 2: in your younger twenties where you act, you know, dress 841 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 2: and do. You're like you're trying to find yourself and 842 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 2: you're like like, I remember, you know, hanging out with 843 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 2: certain people and not even really liking them and just 844 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,879 Speaker 2: doing things because they're doing it and very kind of 845 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 2: like not being confident within myself that it's like your 846 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 2: most like flip flop and you're like absolutely, And I 847 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 2: think a lot of people go through that and they 848 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 2: struggle to find you know, I guess like they're independent 849 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 2: and who they are. But when you do actually find 850 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 2: that and you are so okay with who you are 851 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 2: and you're very like you're kind of saying in your 852 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 2: journey of becoming, where you know you like fitness and 853 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 2: you do you and you're like, I don't care what 854 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 2: people think? Yeah what NOTO. And you get to that 855 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 2: point where you're like, I like me and that's all 856 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 2: that matters. And it's such a huge transition. Like, yeah, 857 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 2: such a huge transition. 858 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very hard to get there, and I feel 859 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: like it's something that you have to work on every 860 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: single day. Like I'm not you know, I don't wake 861 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: up every single day and I'm like, yes, I don't 862 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: care what anyone thinks. I'm amazing. 863 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 3: Will Yeah. 864 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: Like it's like some days I do wake up and 865 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm like damn. But it's it's like it just comes 866 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: and goes. But once you reach that point where like 867 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: you're pretty consistent with just being happy with you, it's 868 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: it's very liberating. 869 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that is yeah, like focusing on 870 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 2: what would make me happy in this moment. 871 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: It's like on TikTok where they say, like you're the 872 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: main character, main character, You're the main character. 873 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I literally just did a podcast my main character. 874 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 2: But I think that's like so true. And also, and 875 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 2: this is kind of veering off, but when are we not? 876 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 2: But in regards to listening to your intuition, and I 877 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 2: talk a lot about alignment, so and I don't know 878 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 2: if you kind of know what that is or whatnot, 879 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 2: but even your last year almost in your voux was 880 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 2: I remember finding you towards the end of last year 881 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 2: and going back right and they're watching, and I could 882 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 2: see you becoming more yourself more in alignment, and you 883 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 2: could almost like see the transition, which is like you, 884 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 2: Polly didn't notice what was happening. Yeah, but again it's 885 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,359 Speaker 2: like you know, you finding a routine that works for you, 886 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 2: finding the health and fitness, like you said, even though 887 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 2: you're twenty one, you don't go out all the time, 888 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 2: and not saying anything's wrong that, Yeah, but you very 889 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 2: much kind of found your groove, which is so important. 890 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 2: And I think also the whole thing of being okay 891 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 2: alone was obviously you know, something that you needed to 892 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 2: work on and something you did. Absolutely would you have 893 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 2: what would your advice be for like single people who 894 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 2: are currently you know, feeling lonely, and in that situation. 895 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: I think, gosh, it is hard, Like it's not easy. 896 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, like even if you want 897 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 1: to have like more panther sessions or just focus on yourself, 898 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: like listen honestly listening to like self help podcasts or 899 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,720 Speaker 1: books or videos.

And like sometimes I will literally like 902 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: dance around in my room as lame as that sounds. 903 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 2: You know that you know what that is, or singing 904 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 2: about energy around your body. 905 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 1: That's it just like gets your endorphins going. And honestly 906 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: like surrounding yourself with friends, like good friends, and if 907 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: you're bored or if you're like you know, it's Saturday 908 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: night or whatever, like go to the movies, take yourself 909 00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: to the movies. 910 00:44:58,719 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really want to do that. 911 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 2: I haven't. Yeah, but I feel like, well, I guess 912 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 2: that's such a thing. What you said in regards to 913 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 2: health and fitness being your hobby. It's like you went 914 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 2: and found something that you could do alone that's just 915 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 2: for you, and so it might not be health and 916 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 2: fitness to someone else but it's like, can you find, 917 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 2: you know, a hobby or something you like doing alone 918 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 2: that it's like when you are born on a Saturday night. 919 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 2: Like maybe it's drawing, maybe it's art and having that 920 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 2: client instrument. Yeah, like an outlet. 921 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely work on yourself. 922 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 1: Everyone needs some form of outlet, whether that's reading, whatever, 923 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: just something that you can do on your own, by yourself. 924 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 3: That's like distracting, I think is super important. Yeah, having 925 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 3: curdles bear. Yeah, distraction is a big one. Like when 926 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 3: you're single and stuff. 927 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in like, you know, because 928 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 1: you're so sad, you have to distract yourself. But if 929 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 1: like in the beginning, if like you're going through a 930 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 1: breakup or whatever, distraction is like the biggest thing. But 931 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: then eventually it just turns into you just focusing on yourself. 932 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 2: But in saying that, I think because some people can 933 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,240 Speaker 2: like distract themselves with like alcohol and drugs. 934 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's definitely bad distractions, that's for sure. 935 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 2: I think it's the whole in alignment. Yeah, like being 936 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 2: in that alignment, Being in that kind of like practice 937 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 2: makes perfect. 938 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,720 Speaker 3: It like takes practice.
