I 175 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: get a bit addictive when I do have a goal, 176 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: when I get passionate about something. So I looked at 177 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: the title and I was like, oh, I think I 178 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: think this book is for me. I think I'm gonna, 179 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, get something out of it, and it was 180 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: just incredible. So I just wanted to say that, but 181 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: I would love to dive a bit deeper into the 182 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: concept of your book. So I think there is such 183 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: an emphasis. I think we're getting better, but there is 184 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: such an emphasis on hustle culture, and sometimes that means, 185 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: you know, our mental health gets put on the back burner. Normal, 186 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: but I would love to hear your insight into what 187 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: really was the turning point for you to recognize how 188 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: mindfulness has such an impact on our performance and sometimes 189 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: it's not about just you know, the hustle culture and 190 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: getting that goal, you know all nothing. 191 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: Firstly, thank you for that beautiful, generous feedback about the book. 192 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: Quick shout out here to my ghost writer, Summer Land. 193 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: You know, she's an incredible human being. She helped me 194 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: write that book. Without her, the book would have been crap, 195 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: to be honest. 196 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: She's and also we all need a ghost writer in 197 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: their life. 198 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: Land is the person. 199 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: She's the number one ghosty here in Australia, I would say. 200 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: And she's just a beautiful human being. And she was 201 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: in my head every week and we would catch up 202 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: for two hours a week and she'd get exposed to 203 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: all of our content and our keynotes, and she's just 204 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: incredible the way she interweaved my stories into those tools 205 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: and tips. So I want to make sure that she's 206 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: definitely mentioned here and also to set the precedence in 207 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: the right kind of way. 208 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 3: You know. 209 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: I feel like people look at your story and go wow. 210 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 2: You know, this is the dangers of Instagram. People think, wow, 211 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: you can you know, he can be at university, you 212 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 2: can study, you can be your mum and you can write. 213 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: A book in a year. Wow, how do you? 214 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: And I think it's really unfair if people don't know 215 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: the truth behind a lot of the books that are written. 216 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: They usually have a ghost writer behind them and so 217 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: I think it's all about being honest and authentic in 218 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: this game, and I never want to set anyone up 219 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: for failure. 220 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: So on this mindful high perform. 221 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: And I loved the title too, because it's kind of 222 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: this juxtaposition, isn't it, this play on words. 223 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: Can we be mindful but also perform highly? 224 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: And it's not just people in business, it's also for 225 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: parents and like people at university. And I always think 226 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: about this, you know, it's kind of like the opposite 227 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: is true. We need mindfulness to perform well in life 228 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: because the whole emphasis on mindfulness is about the practice 229 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: of taking our brain to the gym to sharpen that 230 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: up so we actually can get more juice out of 231 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 2: the brain, so more horsepower, more energy, more productivity out 232 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: of this one organ that we can't neglect. And for 233 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: a long time, we put so much emphasis onto physical wellbeing. 234 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: And if your mental wellbeing isn't there, and you're not 235 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: dedicating time to it every single day to sharpen up 236 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 2: particular things that you can do in your kind of 237 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: your backpack of your toolkit, then what happens is when 238 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: we go into beast mode, which we can all go into. 239 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 2: You know, we in achievement mode and ticking things off 240 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 2: on our list, and you know, let's just work for 241 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: our hours a day and forget about sleep because I'm 242 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: doing it all, you know, four hours or do me 243 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: for sleep, And that kind of lifestyle is just so detrimental. 244 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,599 Speaker 2: And what happens is is that eventually we have to 245 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: end up taking time off to look after ourselves because 246 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: we get sick. And so if we want longevity in 247 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 2: this life, then we need and we want to have 248 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: a field life, right, which is what we all deserve. 249 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: Then we need to kind of take ownership over investing 250 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: into our mental wellbeing as much as what we do 251 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: with our physical wellbeing, as much as what we invest 252 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 2: into our careers, as much as what we invest into 253 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: our relationships. And because they all kind of hang out 254 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: in the same bucket, so if one thing is going downhill, 255 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: you know, it's really really important that we start being 256 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: aware of what that is and doing and catching it early, 257 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: catching the burnout really early. So I kind of have 258 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: non negotiables in my life, you know, around performing highly 259 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 2: because we do have a company, and it's important that 260 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: I turn up and with really good energy. On the keynote, stage. 261 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: We do about ten keynotes a week, so that's a 262 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: lot of speaking. That's a lot of people we see. 263 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: And I want to make sure that I'm in the 264 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: best headspace because that audience is giving up an hour 265 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: of their time to listen to what I have to say, 266 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: and I want to make sure that their experience is phenomenal. 267 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: And so to be able to do that, I need 268 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: to every day schedule things in to my calendar, you know, 269 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: And I think to do lists are great, but I 270 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: think where it gets even better is when it's popped 271 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: into your calendar because you get notifications that's coming up. 272 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: And plus if it's not kind of scheduled in the calendar, 273 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: we just don't get it done. So some non negotiables 274 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: in my life, you know, a movement every day. I 275 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: sweat every day every day, I'm like moving the body. 276 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: I meditate daily for as that's my stress management tool 277 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: that I lean on. But I mean, I've got about 278 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: two hundred different ideas in the book that you. 279 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: Can lean on. 280 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: And then the third thing is I sit down and 281 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: if I'm at work, I literally work on the most 282 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: important task that I've got to get done that I'll 283 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: have a significant impact on the globe's mental health. So 284 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: I don't actually start checking emails until I sit down 285 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: and I've done that usually for about ninety minutes. I 286 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: put in bowse headsets, I listen to these things called 287 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: binural beats, and I I just hammer out some really 288 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: creative focused time first up in the morning. So I 289 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: find those three things in my life are really really helpful. 290 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: And then I take a break every six weeks, I 291 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: take a week off the grid. I'm about to go 292 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: away tonight actually skiing for a whole week. So you 293 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: caught me just in the Nicker time, Georgie. 294 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: And don't you think it's funny Chelsea that, like you said, 295 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: in order for us to be mindful and bring in 296 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: the aspect of our life where we're not hustling, is 297 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: to then have to schedule in things, which it seems 298 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: it seems counterintuitive, but I absolutely love it because I 299 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: think also if you are someone who identifies with a 300 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: higher achiever or that sort of personality, It's like when 301 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: I read the book, I was like, of course, this 302 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: makes so much sense. And also I want to do it, 303 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: like I want to schedule in my meditation. I want 304 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: to schedule in my morning routine. And I love how 305 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: in the book that you know, you really chat about 306 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: how our day to day habits can really either excel 307 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: us or hinder us. And it's funny because as we're talking, 308 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm doing like I'm calling it a Hot Girl Reset, 309 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: which we're workshopping the name. Basically just I've had a 310 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: huge couple of months with work and I'm like, I 311 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: just need to get back to the basics. I need 312 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: to get back to the habits. So you know, very 313 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: simple things like making sure I drink two liters of water, 314 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: making sure i'm you know, getting my veggies in, making 315 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: sure I'm doing movement, ten minutes of meditation, and these 316 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: little things that, yes, at the start we have to 317 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: schedule in them in and tick them off. But then 318 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: once they become you know, a habit or routine, it 319 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: it gets easier and it just becomes second nature, which 320 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: is obviously the goal. And so I loved your part 321 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: of the morning routine in the book And something that 322 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: I have implemented in my morning routine is waking up, 323 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: opening the curtains and going, I'm going to have a 324 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: great day, and I yell at side. My husband always 325 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: looks up at me, like, what is she doing? 326 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 3: She's crazy? But it is. 327 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: It's like it's that beautiful feeling like you say in 328 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: the Book of Making an Affirmation saying I am going 329 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: to have a good day and getting some sunshine into 330 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: my eyes. So I loved your tips on that. Could 331 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: you give us a couple of more morning routine tips 332 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: that are really going to excel us into our day 333 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: for sure? 334 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: And I love that you're doing that. And you know 335 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: what's going to be so great. Your husband will start 336 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: listening to you, and then he's going to start doing it, 337 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 2: you know, servation in the house because my husband used 338 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: to be such a skeptic banker and I used to 339 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 2: bring home university research and you know, I used to 340 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,719 Speaker 2: share it with him and he's like, I don't know, babe. 341 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: And then you know, you have a big date at 342 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 2: the work, and because you'd just see me transition into 343 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: a calmer human being and you'd have this big day 344 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: at work and you'd come home it's like, I think 345 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: I should punch out some alms with you today, and 346 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, it's not about punching out old date, but 347 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 2: let's just see it with three minutes of meditation and 348 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: see how we go and now right, Jaye now joined 349 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: our company three years ago, but he meditates daily. 350 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: He does gratitude every day with our daughter. 351 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 2: He saved every day. He I mean, he is like 352 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: the pinnacle of health and well being. And so I think, 353 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: you know, people always think about how can we get 354 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: our partners or our flatmate, or our sister or our child. 355 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: It always starts with you, and then I'll observe you 356 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: if you start making these transitional changes, because no one 357 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: ever wants to be pushed on, right. We hate that 358 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: when someone tries to push their new life philosophy onto us. 359 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: But I think if you take on a few things 360 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 2: and like you're doing the morning routine and be interesting, right, 361 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 2: because then they come on the journey with you, which 362 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: is super cool. Back to this morning routine stuff, and 363 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: I think, you know, the beautiful thing about all of 364 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 2: us being a human being is that every twenty four 365 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 2: hours we get to start fresh, right Georgie, like human 366 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: to wake up and it is a fresh slate. And 367 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: what I see, and maybe the audience can relate to this, 368 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: but what I see a lot is the very first 369 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: thing that people will do, and this is what we 370 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 2: read about in research is within the first eight minutes 371 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: as they pick up their mobile phone. And so the 372 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: way you set up those very first few minutes really 373 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 2: sets the tone for the whole day. And so if 374 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: you think about that, if you're picking up your phone 375 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 2: after you turn the alarm clock off and the first 376 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: thing you're seeing is a car crash or a murder 377 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: on the news feed or something on social media, that's 378 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 2: quite triggering, what happens inside the brain is that it 379 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: gets very alerted. So you get a lot of quarters 380 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: all surging through You then get somenaurop and nephron coming 381 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: up through the body. And the third thing that I 382 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: think people really need to know about is the brain 383 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: is quite neuroplastic in the morning, so it's very vulnerable 384 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: to whenever you're consuming off your phone. So then you're 385 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: going to start firing up these new synaptic connections in 386 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: your brain for things like fear and worry and stress 387 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: and paranoia. And we haven't even thrown our leg outside 388 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 2: the bed, like we haven't even started our day yet, 389 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: and we're kind of starting in this like the world 390 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 2: is a really bad place. And so what I always 391 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: say to people is a couple of really cool things 392 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: that you can literally try tomorrow. 393 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: Is this. 394 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 2: I want people to start owning their first eight. Don't 395 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: let the world in to dictate how you should start 396 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: your day. One, if the alarm clock sound is like this, BIB, 397 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: if that's your sound, I'm going to really encourage you 398 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: to change that. So anything that's more relaxing for the 399 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: brain to wake up too, because again you don't want 400 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 2: to jolt yourself into high cortisol. So on your phone 401 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: apps you've got on your phone settings for alarm sounds, 402 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 2: you have everything you know, bird songs, the harp, timber, 403 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 2: African drums, a nice tune, whatever, just don't have it 404 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: as like that BIB with that sound. Number two, then 405 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: just put your phone back down. Okay, be really disciplined 406 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: to pop your phone back down and just lay in 407 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: bed and think about a few things that you're grateful 408 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: for in this life. I usually say about five, because 409 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 2: that's kind of thirty seconds of you. Then just instead 410 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 2: of releasing cortisol into your brain, you're releasing a thing 411 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: called serotonin, which is your happy chemical, and that has 412 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 2: to be a better way to start our morning. 413 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 3: And then as you. 414 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: Do Georgia you know you wake up after that today 415 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: is going to be a good day, and algorithm in 416 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: where your brain you want your brain to. 417 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 3: Go for the day. 418 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: Now, just a little side note here, this isn't like 419 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 2: Pollyanna positive poly the whole life we have to be 420 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: in good vibes because realistically that doesn't exist and that's 421 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 2: actually dangerous. You know, to live that way is very important. 422 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: As human beings, we feel all emotions. Some days we're 423 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 2: going to feel low in mood. Other days we're going 424 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: to feel angry, and that is okay to own that stuff. 425 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 2: But what this is about is scientific ways we know 426 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 2: in the morning to set your way upstead of releasing 427 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: quarters or like a huge quartersol surge, you get some serotonin. 428 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 2: So it's a really beautiful way if you can think 429 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 2: about that in the morning and try it out, significant 430 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 2: difference and then you know, like you're saying, you know, 431 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: you get up. Maybe it seems like rehydration. Right, So 432 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 2: when we wake up, we're very dehydrated. If you think 433 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 2: about that, we've been asleep for eight hours, so the 434 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: brain is eighty percent water. 435 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 3: So help it along. 436 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: It needs a really good like surge of water first 437 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: up in the morning. So before we smash our first 438 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 2: long black or flat white, you know, down some water 439 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: before we get into the cough. And I love coffee, 440 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: I do. I really do love coffee. But it's a 441 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: brilliant point. We rehydrate before then, and then I find 442 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: gut health super interesting. I've got a whole chapter dedicated 443 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: to it in the book and something that I work 444 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: with on my psychiatrist with because she is amazing and 445 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 2: I still see her once a year. Gut health is 446 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: just so completely linked to mental health. We can't deny 447 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: that anymore. So I take a probotic and prebodic supplement 448 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: in the morning, and all that is is just seventy 449 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: two plants compressed into a powder. 450 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 3: That's it. 451 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: And so then I know that I'm nourishing up my 452 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 2: gut health because our gut produces ninety percent of our serotonin, 453 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 2: which is really interesting. 454 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 3: You know. 455 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: The medication that I'm on is called Zoloft, and it's 456 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: a serotonin reuptakeing hibita and the mechanics of the dragon. 457 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: When you're at university and you're on medication, I can 458 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: guarantee you go do a deep dive right in what 459 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: medication you're on because you're like, Okay, what is this 460 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 2: doing and what's happening inside my body? 461 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 3: And it's really interesting. 462 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: You know, with medications like that, they help a lot 463 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: on the T cell junctions inside the gut to produce 464 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 2: more serotonin to transfer that up to the brain. Isn't 465 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 2: that amazing? So we really need to look after our 466 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: gut for our mental health. And then, like as you're 467 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: saying things like, you know, if you can get outside 468 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: in the morning, that's amazing movement the sunlight into the 469 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: eyes and onto the skin within a couple of hours 470 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 2: of sunrise, which is doctor Angie Hueman's work. He's an 471 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: amazing neuroscientist. Shout out to Andrew. But it's really incredible 472 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 2: in terms of shutting down the millotonin so suppressing you know, 473 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: there's melotonin so we don't feel as sleepy at rest. 474 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: It's a cycating clock for that night for sleep and 475 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 2: it kind of gets all your body systems working. And 476 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 2: so it's just within a couple of hours of sunrise, 477 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: if you can get outside or have your coffee on 478 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 2: the balcony or walk outside without your sunglasses on anymore, 479 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 2: that's going to be beneficial in the morning. Just don't 480 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: you know, during the middle of the day, don't sungaze 481 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 2: at the sun because you're going to blow out your 482 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 2: eyeballs and you. 483 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 3: Get retina down. 484 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: Okay, so that's really important to know that just in 485 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 2: the morning, Okay, we're not staring right into the sun, 486 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 2: We're just walking around close to sunrise. And so I 487 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 2: would say that those things would be really beneficial. I've 488 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: got a lot of different tips and hacks there in 489 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: the book that are science based, but I don't want 490 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 2: to overwhelm the audience too much. 491 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 3: I always just say to pick, no, that's your purpose. 492 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: She's one or two things that you can do differently 493 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: that it will have a good behavioral change on your 494 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: mental health and on your brain health. 495 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: Right at the start, Chelsea you chat head, you spoke 496 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: sorry about neuroplasticity with I just found so interesting in 497 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: the book, and I just I love this concept that 498 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, we can kind of train our brain to rethink. 499 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: I think, you know, my understanding of it is and 500 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: I feel like so many of us very much get 501 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: stuck in this negative mindset loop. And something that I 502 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: really preach and talk about on this podcast is limiting 503 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: beliefs where you know, we've picked up a limiting belief 504 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: from our childhood or a parent or you know, a 505 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: sibling or something like that, and then it becomes, you know, 506 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: a truth for us. And then something that I, you know, 507 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: really try and be aware of is like picking that 508 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: limiting belief and being like, oh, this is actually just 509 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, a negative thought loop. I would love to know. 510 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: We don't have to go to science. Ye, but how 511 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: would someone be able to retrain their brain to break 512 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: that negative thought loop? 513 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 514 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: So I think neuroplastisity is fascinating and I think it 515 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 2: kind of needs to be shouted from the rooftops here 516 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 2: across the globe really around how our brain can change 517 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: right up until the day we die. Right, so when 518 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 2: we skid out of here in our coffin, maybe the 519 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: glass of champagne in our hand, going well, that was 520 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: a fun ride. Know that your brain will change right 521 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: up until the very last breath that you take. It 522 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: is not this fixed structure that we once thought it 523 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 2: was in science like thirty years ago. And by us 524 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: knowing that that we can actually rewire the brain, we 525 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 2: can fry up new synaptic connections, gives us a lot 526 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: of hope, right, in psychology that we can reset and 527 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 2: retrain people's brains to get them through things like PTSD. 528 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: And you know, if they get caught up in overthinking 529 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 2: of ruminate feedback loops and things like that, there's a 530 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 2: fantastic researcher out there and this might help people, right 531 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: if they do get caught up in feedback loops. And 532 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: I find this one really helpful for me as well. 533 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: You know, being a human being, I still get worried, 534 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: I still get stressed, I still get overwhelmed. But I'm 535 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 2: really lucky that I have some things to lean on 536 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: now too that I can help myself. 537 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 3: Out of it. 538 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: So if you've got like a worry, right, maybe your 539 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: concern is you know what, I'll use my husband. I'll 540 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 2: use him as an example, and it's the research line 541 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: is is doctor Lucy Hone. Okay, so she's an incredible 542 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: researcher in resilience and this technique's great for rumination. If 543 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: you haven't seen her Ted Talk, everyone who's listening, go 544 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: and watch it. It is absolutely incredible. Doctor Lucy Hone 545 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: is her name. And so say, for example, my husband 546 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 2: is worried that he's going to get bitten by a 547 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 2: shark when he goes surfing. Okay, so they say that's 548 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 2: his and that's that's actually a real life one because 549 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: you know, twenty eighteen, when he was surfing down here 550 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: at Whey Beach, he was paddling out and he got 551 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 2: knocked off by a bull shark and early morning, like 552 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 2: the conditions were perfect for a shark attack, to be honest, 553 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 2: like early morning, you know, it was like the sun 554 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 2: was just rising, the water was, you know, looking sharky, 555 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: and so he's out right on shark time having a 556 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: surf and so the shark knocks him off his board 557 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 2: and then so he's like, oh my gosh, what was that, 558 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: scrambles back on and then he sees it coming back again. 559 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 2: So he's got two buddies out there with them, and 560 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 2: he's like, mate, that's a bull shark. And it came 561 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: back underneath his board, starts circling underneath him and bumped 562 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: him off again. And so the guys the good news 563 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 2: is Jay survived. The boys got to get their surfboards, 564 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: creating a large surface area, and the shark took off. 565 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 2: Jay swam in. However, now not only did you know 566 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: this shark knock him off his board, but it also 567 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: knocked him off his confidence right to go back into 568 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: the ocean. And so we used doctor Lucy Holmes's technique 569 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: and I think it's awesome. So Number one is whatever 570 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 2: it is causing you worry, just recognize that a lot 571 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: of the stuff in psychology and mindful Nurse is just 572 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: noticing what comes up for you. So just jotting it down. 573 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: It could be, you know, we're leaning on Jay's example 574 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 2: here my husband, but for you, it could be mortgage repayments. 575 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: It could be you're worried about your child getting sick. 576 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: It could be that you failed a course. It doesn't matter, 577 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: just whatever that is for you. Number two, you then 578 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: need to ask yourself is this feedback loop helping me 579 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 2: or harming me? And so when you pull that into 580 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: alignment in terms of when you start questioning sometimes these outdated, 581 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: untrue stories we tell ourselves. We can really catastrophize as 582 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: human beings, and we can fortune tell with our thinking patterns. 583 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 2: When you do things like that, is this helping me 584 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: or harming me? And your brain recognizes that it's a 585 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: harmful feedback loop. What will happen here is pretty magical. 586 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: The brain will work one hundred percent in your favor. 587 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: So instead of releasing dopamine, a reward motivation chemical, it 588 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 2: actually enables you to move into action. So you're gonna 589 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: skip missing the ruminating feedback loop because you're like, well 590 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: that's a harmful feedback loop and you get a little 591 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: bit of space there in your brain rather than hitting 592 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: another ruminative loop, and you go, okay, let's now move 593 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: into fact checking. Okay, so this is really important. So 594 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: number one, recognize the feedback loop. Number two is this 595 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 2: helping me or harming me? Number three, it's harmful, So 596 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: let me go check the facts and what I'm worried about. 597 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: So with Jay, for example, we had to go and 598 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: do some research. How many shark deaths are there every 599 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: year globally? Surprisingly, there's not that many. There's ten ten 600 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 2: that happened globally, which is very sad for that person 601 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: and their families and friends that are involved in that. 602 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: But we're actually more likely to get hit by car 603 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: in Gerongong, right, which is a small town, so much 604 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: more like statistically that's going. 605 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 3: To happen to us. 606 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 2: So it helps then rationalize the brain, right, It brings 607 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: you back in from this catastrophic fear thinking into Okay, well, 608 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: now I'm a bit more rational, right, I've got the 609 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 2: facts right, and you need to go factually. It's not 610 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: the time to jump on social media and seeing what 611 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: a celebrity is saying about the thing you're worried about. 612 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: You've got to go where the facts are. So you've 613 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: got to do a proper fact check and then you 614 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: move yourself into action. So what are now the steps 615 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: I can do now that I know that the risk 616 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: of me dying from a shark attack is minimal? What 617 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 2: are the actions now that I do? And for Jay, 618 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: it was just gentle exposure back into the water, and 619 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: so that was really really helpful for him in terms 620 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: of management point of view. And now he's back to 621 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 2: surfing every day and he loves it. Granted, we both 622 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 2: bought a shark band to wear on our ankle that 623 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: is meant to propel waves out to little sharks so 624 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 2: that don't. 625 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 3: Come near us. 626 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 2: Maybe that's just a psychological comfort as well wearing them 627 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: on our feet, but that's that was a really effective thing. 628 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: And I use that technique myself personally when I'm going 629 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 2: through stuff too. 630 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: So I really want to chat to you about purpose 631 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: because I loved this bit in your book where you 632 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: chatted about purpose and you kind of said whether you 633 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: were like, fulfilling your life's purpose has a big impact 634 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: on being burnt out? Can you chat to us about 635 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: this and then also chat to us about you know, 636 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: someone who is like I don't know what my purpose is, 637 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: what would they do in this scenario? 638 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: So I think a big thing around, you know, with 639 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: your purpose, when you identify what your purpose is and 640 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 2: you do not have to go through a significant life 641 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 2: adversity like deep dark despair of post our depression to 642 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: get to your life's purpose. I hope you never go 643 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 2: through anything like that, like a trauma. And I think 644 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 2: it's a really important thing to do some deep work 645 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 2: around identifying and understanding your purpose, because it brings you 646 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: a lot of clarity, particularly on your values and your 647 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 2: life's work and then also your boundaries. And you know, 648 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 2: when we're thinking about values, they are things that are 649 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 2: going to reward you. And your passion right is what's 650 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 2: going to fuel you to keep ongoing, and your life's 651 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: work is what it will allow you to help others, 652 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: and your boundaries will allow you to help yourself. So 653 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: I think that's really really important. By gaining a very 654 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 2: clear understanding of those four areas, it really helps people 655 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: then set goals and form these habits and adopt routines 656 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 2: that allow them right to live this life on purpose 657 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 2: and protect their mental health. So a few things that 658 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 2: I'd say to people is one, getting really clear on 659 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: what your values are, so you know it's crucial, right, say, 660 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 2: for example, one of your core values. So one of 661 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 2: my core values, right is family, Like my family are 662 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 2: everything to me, and you know, so they feel my soul, 663 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: They're so important. But saying that my value is family, 664 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 2: but then I'm working seventy to eighty hours a week, 665 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 2: I'm not seeing my husband or my daughter, I'm not 666 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 2: taking holidays when I'm with them, I'm always on my 667 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 2: phone checking Instagram. And as a result, I feel a 668 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: very sense of internal conflict and stress because deep down 669 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: my behaviors aren't aligning with what I truly value. So 670 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: I think it's really really important that people take the 671 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 2: time to work out what do you value? 672 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: Right? 673 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 2: And it might not be family for everyone, financial abundance 674 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: and that's okay, right. It could be nature and adventure 675 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 2: for some people, it could be travel, other people, it 676 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: could be faith. So I think you know knowing what 677 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 2: your values are. And in the book we do some 678 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 2: stuff around how to identify what your values are, and 679 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 2: it's really important to know what they are because it's 680 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 2: going to help with when you accept a new job, right, 681 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: or if you want to start your own business, or 682 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 2: if you want to go traveling for a year, or 683 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 2: do you want to invest in property, and all those 684 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 2: questions that come up in life will be back to 685 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: your values based. So that also it really helps make 686 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 2: you make choices right that you feel very proud and 687 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: happy about because they are on purpose. And to be honest, 688 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: you know your values may change as you are getting older. 689 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 3: You know you. 690 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely can change your values. And then the next thing 691 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: is that like the passion behind your purpose and so 692 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 2: finding out what that is right, So you've got your 693 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 2: values there, and then it's the passion behind the purpose. 694 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 2: So you know what do you make time for in 695 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 2: your life? You know what do you channel a lot 696 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: of your energy into? Right? For me, I'm such a dog, 697 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 2: Like if I'm not studying at UNI, I take a 698 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 2: UNI semester off, so I go on and off with UNI. Again, 699 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 2: that's a boundary right, So I am not burning out. 700 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 2: But every time I've got an off semester where I'm 701 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 2: not studying, I am like literally reading neuroscience books, psychology 702 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 2: such a Jay's like, you are such a dork, and 703 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, but I love it right, It's where it's 704 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: where my passion is and I love that stuff. So 705 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 2: people it's like, well, where do I get what lights 706 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: me up? And I think you know things even from 707 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 2: a holistic point of view, from what you eat to 708 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 2: how you move your body to the way you speak 709 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 2: to people, What is that driving force behind every action 710 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 2: that you take? So that's another one. And then it's 711 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: your strengths and talents. So this is all helping you 712 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 2: work out your purpose, you know, And sometimes it's hard 713 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: right to if we're not very good at giving ourselves 714 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 2: compliments in life, unless you're a narcissist and you're like, yes, 715 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 2: I am amazing. So if that's you, you know, probably 716 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 2: we're not friends with most narcissists because they're so self involved. 717 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 2: But sometimes it's really hard, right to work out what 718 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 2: you're good at. So I would say to people, go 719 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 2: and speak to someone that you really trusted, trusted advisor. 720 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: It could be your mum, it could be your partner, 721 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 2: could be mate, and just ask them, you know, can 722 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: you let me know what you think my strengths are? 723 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 2: And you know, I think sometimes it's hard to ask 724 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 2: people that, So just lean on a couple of people 725 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 2: in your life, you know, if you're in the process 726 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 2: of working out what your purpose is, maybe ask them, 727 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 2: you know, what do you see is my talents and strengths. 728 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 3: I really value your opinion. 729 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 2: I would love to know what you think because they 730 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 2: might unlock something for you that you don't don't know. 731 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 3: Right. 732 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 2: And then the last thing is is kind of like 733 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 2: your life's work, and it's around you know, understanding what 734 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 2: you're passionate about and then knowing what your strengths are, 735 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 2: staying true to your values is what's going to drive 736 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 2: your career rise. And then I say career, I don't 737 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 2: mean you know, something that's paid. Which is why I'm 738 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 2: going to use this term life work, because some people 739 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 2: listening to your passion and strengths and values make you 740 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 2: want to stay at home with your children, right, and 741 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 2: that is wonderful. I've got some girlfriends who are just 742 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: incredible mums and they are just so they love that 743 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 2: and that's awesome. Some people might want to stay at 744 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 2: home and create art. Other people, you know, my be 745 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 2: a community project, so working on kind of what that 746 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 2: life work is. And then finally your boundaries. And I 747 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 2: love them because they're vital, right, They're vital for me, 748 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 2: they're vital for you Georgie, for everyone listening to keep 749 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: them fresh so you can achieve what you want to 750 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 2: in this life. And I really believe that we need 751 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 2: boundaries so we don't burn out, we don't become exhausted, 752 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 2: and we don't get taken advantage of. And I think, 753 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 2: you know, for me, I used to find it really 754 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 2: difficult to say no. And whether it was someone messaging 755 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 2: me going hey can I take you out for coffee 756 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 2: to pick your brains? Or attending so many different social 757 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 2: events or a hectic work week. Before I went down 758 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 2: this mental health psychology path, I used to say yes 759 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 2: to everything right as like I was the wingwoman. If 760 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 2: you need one, a Chelsea Poding Jat would be there, 761 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 2: right there with you. And I think part of it 762 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 2: was not to I didn't want to let people down. 763 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 2: Other parts was because I was reluctant to admit that 764 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 2: I needed some me time, and I felt this constant 765 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: pressure to be there for everyone else, almost at the 766 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 2: detriment to my own health, and so I got very 767 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 2: very clear then after going through postnatal and setting up 768 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 2: a company around my boundaries, and I'm very very strong 769 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 2: on them. My husband is also like my number one 770 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 2: bounce up, like you actually can't get to me unless 771 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: you go through j So it's he AWESO buffers everything 772 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 2: for me because I'm very lucky that I have him, 773 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 2: But I've also got very very no in life. And 774 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 2: then my girlfriends know that when I say yes, no, 775 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 2: turn up, I'm truly there, like it's that whole thing. 776 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 2: If it's not, it's a hell no, right, Like I 777 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 2: have to be really diligent with my workload because my 778 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 2: mental health is so important. But also my value is 779 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 2: my family, so they don't deserve, particularly Clara does not 780 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 2: deserve a burnt out, stressed out, anxious mum at the 781 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 2: end of the day. So the boundaries are just so 782 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 2: so important for people, and I think, you know, we 783 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 2: can't emphasize that enough that people aren't going to like 784 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 2: you any less for saying no, okay. I think that's 785 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 2: an important message at the end struggled. 786 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you ended on that, because boundaries 787 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: are hard. They're you know, I think we're we grow 788 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: up being like you have to be polite, and it 789 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: feels very natural to me to want to say yes 790 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: to everything. But I feel like, you know, I'm slowly 791 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: getting there with putting in boundaries and saying no. I 792 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: would love for you to kind of give us a 793 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: little example of Obviously, it's great that you were explaining 794 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 1: that once you're clear on your values, it is then 795 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: so easy to know what you say yes and what 796 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: you say no to. But you know, let's, for instance, 797 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: say someone is a complete people pleas are they're you know, 798 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: they never say no. Obviously, the first step is get 799 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: clear on your values, get clear on your priorities, and 800 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 1: then you will be clear on what you're saying yes. 801 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 2: Or no to. 802 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: But can you give us a little, you know, insight 803 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: of how a no can actually be really impac carrying 804 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: and not you know, quote unquote rude, and how we 805 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: would kind of go about that. 806 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really really great question, and we have 807 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 2: like even I think it's like this no email template 808 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 2: in the book to help people, and I set up 809 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 2: an email template for work. That's the no email, And 810 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 2: I also have one in my note section in my 811 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 2: phone and I'm declining social events. So that's just an 812 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 2: efficiency hack. Plus then I don't have to think about it, 813 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 2: and it's just like it's just a no, right, I 814 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 2: don't have to come up with the new words. And 815 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 2: I find that way really helpful and it's really we've 816 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 2: done it in a really kind way, right to not 817 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 2: let you know, to hurt someone's feelings or anything like that. 818 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 2: So I think the tips are saying no is you know. 819 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 2: Number one is softened the blow by thanking them for 820 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 2: thinking of you, you know, thanks for thinking on me 821 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 2: for the dinner right in Sydney. I'm coming up to 822 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 2: Sydney for work. Thanks for thinking of me for that night. 823 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 2: Then you need to really tell them what's on your plate. Okay, 824 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 2: So so it's a that work example, and it's your 825 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 2: boss making this request for more work. You really need 826 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 2: to share with them what's on your list for the day. Yeah, 827 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,720 Speaker 2: like what's on your to do list to get through 828 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 2: for the day. And then ask them if what they're 829 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 2: asking from you, what they're requesting from you, does that 830 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 2: need to be prioritized, right, So does that need to 831 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 2: shift up in the order of priority because it's better 832 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 2: for the business objectives? And if it does, then you 833 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 2: need to ask them, Okay, if I'm taking that on, 834 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 2: what should I take off on my list today so 835 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 2: I can get through my work? And then I think 836 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 2: the next thing is explained to them that it doesn't 837 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 2: need to be a no for ever. And the reason 838 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 2: why I say that to people is because sometimes people 839 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 2: in corporate feel like they could be career limiting themselves 840 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 2: or missing out in future opportunities if they say no 841 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 2: to things. But you need to kind of change your 842 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 2: perspective on this. You know, if you're completely gassed out 843 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 2: and you can't take on any more and your workload, 844 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 2: you know, you're working till eleven pm at night and 845 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 2: you're not seeing your family and your mental health is suffering, 846 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 2: we really need to change our perspective. When we actually 847 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 2: say no to somebody, what we're doing is allowing someone else, 848 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 2: right with more space to step in in your time, right, 849 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 2: So they're stepping in so something more time, energy and 850 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 2: passion to come in and take the business brea it 851 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 2: needs to go. And then by you saying it to 852 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 2: be a no forever. They know that they can come 853 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 2: back and ask you again when yeah, you have more time. 854 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 2: So I think it's really important, Like I say no 855 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 2: a lot. If people need to hear about it, you know, 856 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 2: send me a DM on Instagram or to my work 857 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 2: email and we will share that with you, the no template, 858 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 2: because I really feel like, you know, people always say, 859 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 2: you know, Chelsea boundaries are amazing. I'm so respectful of 860 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 2: how you protect yourself. And then also, my girlfriends know 861 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 2: that if I'm at university and I'm doing two keynotes 862 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 2: today and I've got a lot going on, they know 863 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 2: that I need a night in at the hotel room 864 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 2: that night for a bath and just not talking to 865 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 2: anyone and watching a series because I'm introverted and converted, right, 866 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 2: I need to recharge myself that way. But when I 867 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 2: do turn up like they get the most energized version 868 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 2: of me, So they get the best version of me, 869 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 2: and they know that. So I think, you know, I 870 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 2: really do think if people get offended by you saying no, 871 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 2: you know, and you explain to them what's going on, 872 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 2: maybe it's time to assess. 873 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 3: You know, that that relationship. 874 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 2: You know, there's a bit of cosmic accounting I call it. 875 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 2: You know, when it comes to friendships and relationships and 876 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 2: to look after your mental health, please make sure you're 877 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 2: surrounding yourself with positive people who appreciate open and honest 878 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 2: communication as well as boundaries. That's where you know your 879 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,959 Speaker 2: true friends are. Right if they're getting like pissed off 880 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 2: because you're canceling the plans to take care of your 881 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 2: mental health, I say, cancel the plans and then also 882 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 2: reassess the friendship. 883 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,799 Speaker 1: That's what I try and remind myself. If anyone's going 884 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: to be offended by this no or have negative you know, 885 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: feelings towards me putting in boundaries that are important to me, 886 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: then that person is not actually important to me. They 887 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't actually be in my life. So yeah, that was incredible. 888 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Chelsea. You just have so much knowledge. 889 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 1: And I think what I loved so much about your 890 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 1: book was, you know, the stuff that you spoke about. 891 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: It's it is stuff that you know, we kind of know, 892 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: we've kind of heard about, and you know, bits and 893 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: pieces here and there, but you really bring it all 894 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 1: together and you put it in language that it's like, Okay, 895 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: I need to do this.

We can all do them.
