Once I can 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.679 look at it and I can unpack it and read 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.479 it it. Honestly, it has been one of the most 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.560 life changing tools and that's why I'm so passionate about it. 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.240 So today we are. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.840 Chatting is journally important, the best ways to journal, how 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.280 to fit journaling into your routine, how to embody what 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:04.160 you're writing, and the best way to journal for manifestation guys. 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.920 Just a reminder our life happens for me. Manifesting Journals 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.680 are launching tonight at five pm Australian Eastern Standard time. 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.919 If you're listening in real time. 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.880 And they're bringing a friend along, so that a good friend, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.040 it's a really good friend. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.640 It's really it's a best friend, guys. The Manifesting with 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:34.440 Momentum Masterclass is also launching, and basically I just felt 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.720 really cooled to create this masterclass because we've had a 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.840 lot of conversations in the office and if you guys 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:48.280 know the project, my signature manifesting course, it's seven weeks long. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.679 We've had thousands of women do it. 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.400 It is so incredible. We have the most amazing testimonials. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.520 And something that I've chatted to the girls about in 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.200 the office is how in the course, I give you 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.880 my ten step formula to manifesting, and I also give 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.919 that to you in the Life Happens for Me journals. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.720 But I explained to the girls, like, I don't sit 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.760 there and write down the ten steps anymore because there's 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.400 gotten to a point in my manifesting journey where I 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:23.359 am able to basically collapse time and integrate my manifesting formula. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.760 So it just feels second nature and I'm able to 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.760 like manifest things twenty four to seven. And they were 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.919 all like, you need to do a teaching on this, 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:37.440 because I sit there every time I'm doing that, you like, 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.240 help us please, And I was like, all right, let's 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.760 do it. And I it's so since I sat down 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.400 to work on this master class, I am just like, 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:54.440 I'm obsessed with the process of co creating with something 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.000 that is not you and being able to attract things 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.200 in your life and being able to share this with 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.320 you guys, because it has transformed my life. Is changed 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.320 my life, and it's really interesting because I was telling a. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.480 Tear off air, Like I did a post the other 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.520 day about for my parents' sixtieth it. 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.200 Was so cute, so cute, So. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.560 I fully organized and paid for their accommodation in New 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.440 Zealand and all of like our dinners and everything in 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.039 New Zealand, and then I surprised mom and Dad with 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.159 a private chef experience. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.560 For their sixtieth and it was so special and such like. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:39.440 A core memory for me because my parents absolutely did 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.400 everything for me growing up and gave me so much 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.640 love and so much support, and they literally the best 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.719 people and even though though maybe didn't give me the 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.719 greatest money beliefs, which I described in the post, because 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.200 it's funny. My mum literally said on that trip, she 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.039 finds it so funny that people think I came from 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.960 like a rich family or I've just like been given things, 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:06.200 because she's like, we have such a scarcity mindset with 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.640 money and they're so frugal and I'm like, obviously so 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.800 different now, yeah, but that's what I grew up with, 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.039 so she just she thinks it's like really hilarious. And 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.000 that's kind of what I'm saying in the post of 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.279 my favorite thing about being able to create this level 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:28.280 of abundance and wealth is things like this, like being 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.760 able to provide my parents with an experience they would 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:37.320 never pay for themselves, and being able to, yeah, like 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.279 just have experiences that you've you know, maybe always dreamed 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.320 and wanted but never been able to have. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.080 And that's just my favorite part about manifestation. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.520 And that's what I said in the post of I 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.480 used to have the same beliefs my parents did, and 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.040 that's you know why. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.880 They have their certain reality. And I had to change 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.920 those beliefs and I had to block myself on all 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.839 the things of you know what I teach you guys 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.839 about manifestation, and now I have a completely different reality. 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:12.160 And it's so clear to me what can happen when 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.560 you do change your internal belief system and how much 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:20.200 it starts internally. Sometimes that's hard for people to comprehend 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:25.280 or even be okay with. And so that's like. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.960 This is why I do the rise and Conquer side 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.600 of things, because I'm like, no, no, no, you can 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.000 like trust me, you can have it too, Like it 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.440 gets to be so amazing. Anyway, that was a bit 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.240 of a rent, But the master class is all about 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:44.599 integrating your manifestation practice. So basically you can manifest faster, 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.760 you can integrate things, and it become it can become 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.480 second nature, so you're always attracting exactly what you want 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.159 rather than manifesting feeling like I don't know, I feel 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.400 what we've gathered from the RNC group is like people 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.760 will be able to manifest something. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.200 But then it's like they full off the bandwagon and 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:07.839 they're not able to consistently hold the habits and the 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.520 practices and exactly. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.360 So that's what we're going through in this master class, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.400 which I am so excited about. And just an FYI 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.600 because We've had a couple of questions about if I've 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.520 done the project, is it the same thing. It is 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:25.960 literally completely different in the way of I recorded the 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.920 project literally two or three years ago, so think of 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.880 like what I have learned and processed and been through 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.080 since then. And that's you know, what you're getting in 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.400 this masterclass. But also if you have never done the 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.320 project or even never done manifesting, you're still going to 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.000 find this so helpful because it's going to make sense 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.840 to you like I've made sure so yes, that is 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.480 all going live today at five pm. There is limited 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.200 journals and limited spots. So if it sounds like something 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.560 you're into, don't. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:02.800 Wait, get on it, on it before we get into it. Yes, weekly, Rex, 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.760 what's yours? You're a person that I'll go. I was 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.400 gonna say working out in the morning. Oh my god, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.320 are you working out in the morning? Tea? I went 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.720 to gym at five thirty this morning, pilarates. How good 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.520 is it? It's so good because it's like when I 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.160 get to go home, I'm done, Like I don't have 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.560 to worry about getting to the gym or anything. And 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.320 it's sometimes for me like it's just so early because 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.880 I had to get up at four but got to 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.960 pilates at five point thirty, and I kind of forgot 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.760 that I did it because it's like I'm half sleeping 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.280 on I don't know. I don't know if that's just 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.200 a me thing. But are you doing it close to 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:41.120 your house? No? I did it at Hustle. Oh my god, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.480 what a vibe. I know, it was amazing. That's a 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.320 vibe oft shit I've ever got to go stand on 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.040 the beach after like it was. Yeah, this is why 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.680 you work at the Gold Coast. I know. I can't 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.800 believe make work out in the mornings. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.880 Like I, it is beyond me how you can work 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.040 all day and then have the mental capacity and then 0:08:59.120 --> 0:08:59.720 go work out. 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.319 Well that was the thing. It was always such a battle. Always. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.040 Now I get to just go home and chill, cook dinner. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.320 My life's changed. I really love this for you. I'm 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.320 finally on the morning. How long have you been working 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:20.320 here for the podcast? Because I've been preaching this for 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.080 a very long time. I feel like Tim this time 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.959 last year. Oh my fucking god, are you ready for this? 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.120 Tim Goes. I know we're going on France. Yeah, but 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:35.560 they want to know. Tim Goes, Oh my god, I'm 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:41.440 reading this book and it's so or something. No, it's 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.720 it's the Way of the Superior Man. Oh I look. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.600 So my coach was like Tim would love this book. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.440 Get him to read it. And I said it to 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.840 him like six months ago. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.080 And then his coach was like, You've got to read 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.040 this book. And I'm like, you realized that was the 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.000 book I recommended to you six months ago. He's like, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.520 oh really, I'm like, oh, nothing annoys anymore, but sure, 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:11.160 I'm gonna let you have this one. My recommendation. I 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.199 am currently loving. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:17.920 I have a phone free zone when I get in bed. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.800 So I used to be like very good of getting 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.480 off my phone at like seven seven thirty, but I 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.920 would still get in bed, go on for a little bit, 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.280 check my posts, and. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.360 Then get off it. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.760 But no, it's like, if I'm in bed, i cannot 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.000 be on social media. That's like a hard rule for 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.920 me right now. And it's so good. So I have 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.800 been reading my kindle. Love that I have a kindle, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.640 by the way, That is my recommendation. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.000 But I've also got the book. 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.440 Been reading books before bed, and the book that I 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:55.400 have just finished is called Buy Back Your Time by 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:01.000 Dan Martel, and it's basically how to utilize your time 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:06.440 better as a business owner. Oh it's very interesting, very niche, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:11.840 very niche to me specifically, but look, if you want. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.160 To, Yeah, is it kind of like how to use 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.360 people in your team and stuff to maximize your time? 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.840 Oh no, yeah, kind of. It's more about letting go control, 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.880 which was very helpful to me. Interesting because I struggle 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:26.200 with that. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.040 But yeah, that is. It's a very niche recommendation. But 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.720 I have finished that, and I am currently reading another 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.040 book that's really really good. But I just want to 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.800 finish it and then I'll recommend it. Yeah, so look 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:37.880 out for the next recommendation. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:47.760 All right, should we get into the episode. Yes, So 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:52.320 our first question is how to get started. For anyone 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.880 who hasn't journaled before and have no idea what to write, 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.880 how much to write, and when to journal? 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.840 Well, you bloody to get a Life Happens for Me journal. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.719 Literally answer all your questions in there. 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:06.679 And that's doesn't it. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.640 Well, that's it is why we created the Life Happens 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.760 for Me journal because for me, journaling has been in 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.680 practice that I have done, you know, for the last 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.480 eight years, and it comes very naturally to me now, 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.439 but in saying that, it never used to. So we 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.920 created the Life Happens for Me Journal. So it's like, 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.760 let's actually make this a happen. Let's make this routine, 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.000 and in it we have you know, how do you start? 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.800 We have a Dear Future Me letter, We go through 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:40.080 a manifesting formula. We also have a prompt glossary. So 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.480 that's something I always. 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:46.000 Recommend for new journalis of just use prompts. It's going 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.839 to really help you have a structure, it's going to 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.280 help you have a process. And then you're going to 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.520 transcend that process and you're going to just naturally journal. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.600 But I do find you need to start with something 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.400 that is actually going to give you those deeps else 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.800 And I think also a big thing with journaling is 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.640 people can think there's a right and wrong way, Yeah, 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.920 and there's not. It's really if you think about basically 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.880 the point of journaling is it's a tool to either 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:20.559 help you unpack something, help you work through something, assist 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:25.959 in your manifestation practice, assist in your gratitude practice. It's 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:26.560 a tool. 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.559 And I think that's the big thing is like journaling 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:34.760 isn't the end goal. Journaling is something you use to 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.400 get the end goal. If that makes sense. 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.720 Yes it does. So is it sort of more about 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.000 when you're journaling, being clear, am I journaling right now 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.280 to release? Am I journaling right now for manifestation? Am 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:52.720 I journaling to unpack a trigger? And then using obviously 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.400 a fitting method for each thing, because if you're journaling 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.199 to release, you're not really going to need to look 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.199 back at it much. It's more about getting it out 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.680 of your body exactly. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.640 And that's the thing is you're not going to always 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:08.120 journal for the exact same reason. So it might be 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.360 a simple of I need to get these thoughts out 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.400 of my head. I need to feel a release, so 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.880 that's why your journal or yeah, like I need to 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.840 manifest something, so I'm going to go through my manifestation process. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:23.000 And it's really journaling is just the most beautiful tool 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.240 to connect to yourself. 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.960 It is. That's what I use it for. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:31.560 Is really in those moments of how do I actually feel, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.120 how do I want to be? 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.920 What do I want? You know, like all those things. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.960 And it's funny because I actually did a story the 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.120 other day because I was doing some journaling on the beach, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.160 and I sat on the beach and I was like 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.080 what do I want to journal about? And I just 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.680 kind of like intuitively was like, okay, what's going to 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.960 come to me? And obviously this again i'm longer in 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.360 my journaling practice. Yeah, and for me in that moment, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:06.760 it was I actually just want to be clear on 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.160 what's working and what's not. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.600 So I literally had two pages what's working, what's not. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:17.480 I went through relationships, I went through you know, my boundaries, business, friendships, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.480 all the things, and just like wrote some things and 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:21.680 I then looked at. 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.480 The paper and I was like, oh wow, this. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.840 Is really cool evidence or like okay, cool, Now I 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:32.360 can use this to decide what's next. But a lot 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.520 of people have all these thoughts and feelings in their 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.920 head and they never get it down, so they can 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.080 never make like intention with moving forward. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.480 If that makes sense. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.720 It does so that I would call that probably like 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:51.480 refinement journaling. And I'm constantly refining because otherwise we're always 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.120 going to change and evolve no matter what. Yeah, and 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.520 I just like to be really intentional about that change. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.160 I love that because it's almost that thing of you'll 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.640 be chatting to someone or thinking about something and you 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.920 have this really great aha moment and then you forget it. Yes, 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.200 but if you write it down, you'll, like I find 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.520 even when I write things down, I don't really need 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:13.920 to go back to look at it because I just 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:15.280 remember it because I wrote it down. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.520 Yes, It's like it's almost like an integration process. 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:25.040 Yeah, it's a bit. What our next question is, how 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:29.200 can you stay consistent with journaling? Well, this is the 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.960 big thing, So I guess like it needs to become 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:37.800 a habit for you, and habits are just what is 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:38.520 important to you. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.480 Yeah, So is it more important to go on your 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.880 phone and scroll on social media at night before you 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.360 go to bed, or is it more important for you 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.880 to get your mindset and mental health right before you 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.160 go to bed? Do you mean and like actually asking 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.640 it that way rather than oh, do I want to 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.000 go on my phone or do I want to like 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:04.040 journal and deciding that I I guess like for me, 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.840 I have made things a habit and now it's just 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.399 like I just do those things because I know that, 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.280 you know, my future self is going to thank me, 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:14.120 or it. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:15.639 Just feels good for me. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:20.480 Yeah, and I think it's about having discipline. No, we 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.760 don't like that word having you know, discipline at the 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.440 start so you can. 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.440 See the results. Yeah. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.679 So then you're like, oh, well, I know if I 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.120 go on my phone and scroll, I'm going to get 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.200 into this loop of comparison. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.040 I then have a really shitty sleep. I then wake 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.720 up grumpy. I then have probably a shit day the 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.760 next day. But then I also know if I sit 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.960 here and I unpack things and I feel grateful and 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.520 I get clear on my desires, I wake up feeling 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.800 really good. But until you have that evidence, you're not 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.600 going to pick the better option. If that makes sense. 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.119 So it's about being disciplined enough to be like, Okay, 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.320 well i'm gonna set my alarm, I'm gonna journal, I'm 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.160 gonna do this for a week straight, and then I'm 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.520 gonna see how I feel. And usually you'll have so 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:15.480 much evidence that it feels good that you will just 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.520 choose that thing. And I think it's also just about 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.320 bringing some consciousness into your routine. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.600 So are you just on this ever. 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.200 Ending loop of just oh, I just jump in bed 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.680 and I get on my phone because it's like what 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.120 you do, it's just what I do, or and this 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.680 is something you can do of like auditing your routine 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.199 every moment, like go to pick up your phone and 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.880 be like do I need to go on here? Am 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.840 I messaging my boss? Or you know, am I doing this? 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.000 Am I messaging? Am I looking at Ivy on the 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.320 baby camera? Like what am I actually doing. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:50.879 On my phone? 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.639 And being conscious about that rather than being this like 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.439 it's kind of like you're a hamster on a wheel. 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.920 So just bringing some awareness and consciousness into your routine 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.320 and making the decision for your future self rather than 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.920 that dopemin hit right now. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:13.200 I love that it's kind of like living your life 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.560 and not watching other people live there. I know, I 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.760 always I think about that all the time and also think, guys, 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.639 is like I'm not saying social media is bad, Like, 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.400 clearly love social media and I use it and it 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.040 can be a really great tool. But it's also about 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.679 it's kind of like I've been really leaning into this 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.680 concept of mothering myself. So it's this is so side note, 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.720 but I've been going really into like the female archetypes 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:47.680 of like the maiden, the mother, the wild woman, the temptress, anyway, 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.520 a whole lot of things, but you know, the mother. 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:56.000 A way to step into your mother archetype is mothering yourself. Wow, 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.280 so kind of being like, you know, for example, if 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.720 your three year old was like, oh, I'm gonna scroll 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.119 my phone before bed, would you be like, yeah, honey, 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.600 sounds great, Like this is funny because this is what 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:12.320 my mom says to me. I still live. If you're 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.680 like a tea, just use your actual mom because that's perfect. 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.040 But if you're like me that your mom doesn't live 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:19.760 with you and. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.920 You have a daughter, use yourself as your mother and 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.199 be like, you know, to mother myself. Right now, what 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.760 would I actually do because your mom always wants the 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.440 best for you, the best for you and the highest 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.359 version of yourself. And that's even something really interesting I've 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:36.960 been doing. 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:40.440 Is like, oh, how could I actually mother myself right 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.760 now and make that choice? I love. I love that 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.560 shift in thought too. Yeah, that's really it. Kind of 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.679 instead of being like I need to be disciplined, it 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.040 feels better of being like, oh, I'm actually being really 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:58.639 like nourishing to myself and it feels better. Wow, random, random, 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:06.080 ped I love it, but we love it. Our next question, 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:14.879 should you meditate before journaling or listen to music while journaling? Either? All? Either? Yeah? 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.600 Like that's what I mean, guys, is like there's actually 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:21.480 no right or wrong and it's just whatever you want 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.840 to do to get on the vibe. For example, if 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:29.960 you are feeling not really super scattered and not grounded, 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.960 I would meditate before journaling. You're probably going to get 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:34.919 a lot more out of it, as like quite the mind, 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.639 get into that spot. Yeah, and you're probably. 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.920 Going to get a lot more out of your journaling practice. 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.960 I personally listen to really beautiful music when I journal 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:45.840 It's just like it's a bit of a vibe for me. 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.000 But really there's like I said, there's no right or wrong. 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.280 What do you like doing it to your I am, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.920 I've been journaling before bed at the moment, so it'll 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.400 be once I've like set my alarm on my phone 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:58.960 because that's obviously the last thing I do on my 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.320 phone every night, pop non charge in that stays a 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:04.080 little bit further away from me. My journal sits on 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.240 my bedside table, and I'll get my journal out, I'll 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.600 light a little candle. I'll have like my cup of 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:11.640 tea or moon milk, so it's like just a very 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.160 relaxing experience. I don't listen to music when I do, 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:19.560 because I just get so distracted and pulled into music 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:21.920 sometimes and I'll just like get stuck listening and I 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:25.480 won't actually be thinking. So for me to like mindfully journal, 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.840 I need silence. So it's just yeah, lights are off, 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.919
