13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I've got a solo episode for you. And I know

14
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: I kind of say this every episode where I'm like

15
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: this just came to me, but this really just came

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: to me. I just got back from a yoga class

17
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: so amazing, Like guys, yoga is hard. Yoga is so hard,

18
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: but it was really good and I kind of got

19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: this episode idea kind of just like downloaded, I will

20
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: call it. As I was doing my finishing pose and

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: I felt so inspired. I was like, I have to

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: come home and record it straight away. So today I

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: want to talk about creating space. So before I get

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: into episode, I just want to ask you guys some

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: questions ponder on them if you will. And I wanted

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: to ask you do you currently feel a bit stuck?

27
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you struggle with knowing what your

28
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: intuition tells you or even being in touch with your intuition?

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: I really feel like yourself right now? Or do you

30
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: kind of feel a bit distant towards yourself? And are

31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: you feeling uncreative or a little bit unfulfilled? So just

32
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: have a think about those questions. And I want to

33
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: go into a bit of a story storytime as always,

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: So I've always been this typical type a person, And

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: if you're just listening in, I will go in why.

36
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: But if you're a constant listener, you will know this already.

37
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: So I've always just kind of been going one hundred

38
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: miles an hour. So from high school I started my

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: law degree straight away. During that I was always working

40
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: various full time roles while studying full time, and then

41
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: also I had my social media on the side. So

42
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: I was blogging my fitness journey, and then I finished

43
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: my law degree, I went straight into my pot while

44
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: working full time. Then also during that I was planning

45
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: a wedding and obviously still having social media business. And

46
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: then when I left corporate, I went straight into making

47
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: my ebooks, starting a podcast, and starting a supplements company

48
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: with my brother. So I'm just a little bit crazy

49
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: where I like to do one hundred things at once,

50
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: and I guys, I really like to do it like

51
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: it's just my personality. I don't necessarily want to change that.

52
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: But sometimes this can really mean I'm running on autopilot

53
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: because I kind of have to because I'm so much happening.

54
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: And this has been the case, I would say, for

55
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the last six months. So I feel kind of very

56
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: stable in all my tasks where I've got routine and

57
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm running on autopilot. So you know, I get up

58
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 1: every day, I go to gym, I know what I'm

59
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: doing at work. I have Mel who helps with my

60
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: business and Naked Harvest and the podcast, and then I've

61
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: also had the live podcast event recently with Madeline that

62
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: we have been planning, and it all feels very routine.

63
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: A lot has been happening. I've been very busy in

64
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: saying that. I feel like I have been pretty good

65
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: with you know, a bit of me time and putting

66
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: in that self care time. So I did have a

67
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: spike of really bad anxiety, which I did speak about

68
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: previously on the podcast, but other than that, I have

69
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: been pretty good and my anxiety has been, you know,

70
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: pretty normal. I feel like I'm that person who kind

71
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: of lives with minos anxiety all the time and I've

72
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: just gotten used to it. But recently, I want to say,

73
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: maybe in the last month or two, I really felt

74
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: these feelings of being on autopilot, not really having enough

75
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: time for anything, and feeling really stuck, like this feeling

76
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: of stuckness, and feeling very uncreative, like almost so tired

77
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: from my day to day tasks that I don't have

78
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: any energy or magic left to you know, get creative

79
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: in my business and my blow on YouTube. Like you

80
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: guys have probably noticed, even with my content, I have

81
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: been a little bit less creative. I haven't had as

82
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: much content on YouTube because I've kind of been spread

83
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: very thin. It's funny because the last couple of months,

84
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: it's like these words keep popping up for me and

85
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: the words are creating space. So probably three months ago

86
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: I spoke to a nutritionness and she's also a naturopath,

87
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Catherine Maslin, which is episode eighteen of the podcast. We

88
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: chatted about so many cool things like gut health and

89
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: dealing with stress, dealing with being orthorexic, and you know,

90
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: fouji should take if you're trying for a baby. Heaps

91
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: of different topics and something that I really took away

92
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: from it was this thing that she spoke about in

93
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: regards to creating space. So Catherine spoke about it in

94
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: the way of dealing with anxiety and stress, and she

95
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of explained that, you know, if you are a

96
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: type pay person like me, it's something that you do

97
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: need to do. So for example, I am a person

98
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: who will like listen to a podcast while I'm cleaning

99
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: or you know, while I'm cooking. I'm very like proactive,

100
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: and you know, if someone cancels podcast recording on me,

101
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: I've straight away got something else to do to feel

102
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: in my time. Yeah, so very proactive. And so Catherine

103
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: kind of explained the best thing for anxiety is creating space,

104
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: so not necessarily mindlessly filling your time with you know,

105
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Netflix or Instagram or podcasts and just being with yourself,

106
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: processing your thoughts and being okay with that. And then

107
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: on the podcast I even explained that, you know, if

108
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm just being by myself or just being without being proactive,

109
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: I can kind of feel guilty for it. And so

110
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: I guess that was the first time of me just

111
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: being aware about that. And since then, I haven't noticed

112
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: that creating space has been a saying that kind of

113
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: has popped up a lot, and it's something I have

114
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: been thinking about a lot, and I feel like I

115
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: did kind of, you know, shift out of that mentality

116
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: of feeling guilty, and I was starting to create more

117
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: space in my routine, but nothing dramatic. It's almost like

118
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: I was just aware of the concept, which is a

119
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: big thing for me. Like I'm a very slow processor.

120
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Often I'll hear things and then won't necessarily implement them

121
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: for like six months later or something like that. I

122
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just how I self develop, I guess,

123
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, like I was saying, the last couple of months,

124
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I've really keep hearing this creating space saying. So whether

125
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: it has just popped in my head or it's popped

126
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: up in a conversation. Literally, it popped up in a

127
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: conversation yesterday. And I've also felt, probably in the last

128
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, this kind of feeling of wanting to

129
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: go inwards. So I'd love to pull out my journal

130
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: and just kind of write something down or well to

131
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of spend time with myself, which was very different

132
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: to the months before that, because the months before that,

133
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: I was like really needy, and I like I wanted

134
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: to spend all my time with Tim and I really

135
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: wanted to be loved and yeah, I don't know. And

136
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: then this month it's almost like I like spending time

137
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: by myself and I really want to slow down. And so,

138
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: like I said, life has been very busy with everything happening,

139
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: and in my podcast a couple of weeks ago, where

140
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: I did speak about my anxiety, it kind of just

141
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: got too much. And so I was proactive about that

142
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and me and Mel looked into hiring a PA to

143
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: help me just kind of to offload a lot of

144
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the admin task that I was doing that was very repetitive.

145
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: And then, like I said, I would be so busy

146
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: all day doing these admin tasks that I had no

147
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: time to be creative in my business, which is really

148
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: what I love doing the best the most. Sorry, So

149
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: we end up finding this amazing woman who's going to

150
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: help us in my business in a PA role, and

151
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: she couldn't start for a couple of weeks. So she's

152
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: probably started for a couple of weeks just part time,

153
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: and I've been slowly training her, and you know, she's

154
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: taken a couple admin tasks of me. So the last

155
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I have felt a bit lighter in

156
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: my workload and I have been trying to not fill

157
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: the time. Also, something that I've doing is I've really

158
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: felt this need to slow down in regards to my workouts. So,

159
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: as you guys know, I was doing all fit stock classes,

160
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: which are amazing, but they're very fast paced. So I

161
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: used to do two strength classes and then three or

162
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: four hit sort of classes, and I could always almost

163
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: just like kind of feel myself being like this is

164
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: a lot on my body, like energy wise, it just

165
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: wasn't feeling good. So I actually bought this two week

166
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: pass to a yoga studio near me, and I swapped

167
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: out two of the hit classes for a yoga class,

168
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: and oh that has been feeling so good. It's funny

169
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: because I've done yoga a lot previously, just kind of

170
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: random things here and there, a lot of events, or

171
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: I've just gone to a gym and done it, and

172
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: it's never really stuck. Like I've never really I was like, oh, yeah,

173
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: like that feels good. But I've always been very pushed

174
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: towards my other workouts. But the last couple of weeks,

175
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: like I even want three times this week, and I

176
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: just like I really wanted to go, really want to

177
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: stretch my body, and I find it really like you

178
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: obviously do like a bit of meditation in there, and

179
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: I feel really mindful after it. And so I felt

180
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: a big push towards that too. And then of course

181
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: because I'm getting more help in my business, I haven't

182
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: been on my computer as much as night at night. Sorry,

183
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: So previously I think I was on my computer to well.

184
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: I would for me and Tim, I would sit down

185
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: watch bitd TV, and then I would grab my laptop

186
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: and while I was watching TV, i'd be on my computer.

187
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: And just because like I had to with with that

188
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: busy and I was having really disturbed sleeps, which I

189
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: knew was from this, but it's kind of like I

190
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: was too busy. I couldn't not do it, So I

191
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: haven't been doing that at night, and I've been having

192
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: really good sleeps too, like the last couple of weeks

193
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: looking back, And it's kind of funny because at the time,

194
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: it's not like I really knew I was doing this thing,

195
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: the whole creating space, but now looking back, I've realized

196
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks just kind of like intuitively,

197
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: I've been creating space for myself and for the first time,

198
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: and guys, I like, literally six to eight months, I

199
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: have felt my most creative. I have felt the most

200
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of in touch with myself and like I don't know,

201
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: like it's this really cool feeling of like I feel

202
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: I want to call it, like in fl with what

203
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: I want to do, what my body wants, like in

204
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: regards to like food choices, and just really feeling myself.

205
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: It's just really cool feeling. And I really think it's

206
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: because I'm doing this thing of creating space. And it's

207
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: funny because me and Tim always have this joke that

208
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: I need to get a hobby because if you have

209
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: seen all my stories, like he's obsessed with golf, so

210
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: he'll play, you know, sometimes he'll go to driving range

211
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: during the week and then he always plays on the weekend.

212
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: And we have this joke that, you know, like I

213
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: need a hobby because he'll go to golf and I'll

214
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: do more work because I kind of had to. And

215
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: it really got me thinking, and I was like nothing

216
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: appealed to me as a hobby. And I literally was

217
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: just like, oh, everything just kind of seems like a

218
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: waste of the time, and I'd rather just do my

219
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: work because that's what I enjoy. But the other day,

220
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: it's funny, someone canceled on a podcast, so I had

221
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: these two extra hours, and it's like I've just got this,

222
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: like I want to call them like downloads. And it's

223
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: like a thought that just popped to my head, and

224
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: I was like, I really feel like baking or like

225
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: just making like a you know, like a healthy treat

226
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: from scratch, which is something I used to do all

227
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: the time. And I don't know if you guys have noticed,

228
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: but the last six months, I haven't had any recipes

229
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: on my page or not too many on my blog

230
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: or YouTube, just because I have had no time, and

231
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: I feel like cooking, is this really creative thing. Like

232
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: I used to say I wasn't a creative person, but

233
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm actually a really creative person, especially in cooking, Like

234
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: I can come up with like really healthy, alternative recipes

235
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: from scratch that taste amazing. It's like one of my skills.

236
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: And also I really enjoy when I cook, like it's

237
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: a fun process for me. I love thinking of the recipes,

238
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: like going on the internet getting ideas and then thinking

239
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: how I would change it. I love the whole process

240
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: of cooking. I love then, you know, cooking getting all

241
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: the ingredients from the shops and then having in the

242
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: fridge and making Tim try them and showing you, guys,

243
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: Like I really love the whole process. And so the

244
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: other day I cooked these little not cooked because they're

245
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: raw chocolate tarts. I made these raw chocolate tarts the

246
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: recipe I'm actually going to put on my blog, and

247
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: they were so delicious, and it really made me think

248
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: that I hadn't done that in so long, and I

249
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: had a ponder to myself, and I was like, cooking

250
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: is my hobby. I have just been so busy and

251
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: so kind of out of my intuition that I just

252
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: haven't done it. And it's like it's really weird to

253
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: think about when I say that, And so it just

254
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: felt really good, and I was like, wow, I need

255
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: to get back into recipe creation and cooking because it

256
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: just it felt so good to me. And then also,

257
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: like another thing is in my yoga classes, I've noticed

258
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: that I have like again i'm gonna say download. When

259
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean download, I just mean like a thought that

260
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: pops my head that I'm like, oh, that's a great idea.

261
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: So in my yoga classes, I've been getting these download

262
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: of cool stuff to do, whether if it's on my

263
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: YouTube or in my business or at Naked Harvest or

264
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: in the podcast. And it's like just these little ideas

265
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: of like fun, creative things. And I haven't had that

266
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: in so long, just because I haven't given myself the space. So,

267
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: like I said, the last couple of weeks, really unintentional,

268
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: I have been creating space, but I obviously need it.

269
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: And then from that I've just come up with these

270
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: like really amazing ideas. I'm feeling really close to my

271
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: intuition and just really myself. So again, I just want

272
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: you to think about the questions. Do you currently feel stuck?

273
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you don't really know what your

274
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: intuition is telling you. Maybe you have this big decision

275
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: coming up and you really just feel like you don't

276
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: know what to do, or do you kind of like

277
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: not feel like yourself like and are you like me

278
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: where you're kind of like I don't know what I

279
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: like to do, I don't know if I have a hobby,

280
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: like I don't know. Are those feelings coming up? Are

281
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: you feeling uncreative? And if you're answering yes to any

282
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: of these, I really really highly recommend you start firstly

283
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: just being aware of this saying creating space. Like I said,

284
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: I heard it three months ago, and it's like it's

285
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: only kind of clicked right this week. So just start

286
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: being aware of this creating space, and I really encourage

287
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: you to actively create space in your routine if you

288
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: are feeling these feelings. I guess for a long time,

289
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: I was being really reactive. So I was in this

290
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: really reactive state where I was never on top of things.

291
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: It was constantly like I was reacting to things, like

292
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, an email come in and I'd react, and

293
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: this would come in and I'd react. I had no

294
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: space to be pro active and actually go inwards and

295
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: be like, hey, what do I feel like doing? What

296
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: feels good to me? What's going to make me happy?

297
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: Like I just that was just not even in my

298
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: circumference because I was too busy and I just had

299
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: no space. So it might seem so simple, And I'm

300
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: sorry if I've just gone on with a full on

301
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: rant about this, But like I said, I was doing

302
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: yoga and I just felt really cool to have this

303
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: as an episode on the podcast because I do find

304
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: usually when I'm feeling these feelings, a lot of my

305
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: R and C girls are kind of feeling them too,

306
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: And so I guess the whole creating space to be

307
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: proactive about it is just little things. So you know,

308
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: if something happens and gets canceled in your calendar, I

309
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: guess it's kind of hard. But can you not do

310
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: something it's like that felt really guilty towards me? Or

311
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: can you slow down? So can you swap out maybe

312
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: like a fast paced hit class or a strength session

313
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: and go for a walk or try some yoga. Can

314
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: you get some help? So something that I did a

315
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: long time ago because I really needed it was I

316
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: have a cleaner who comes two hours every fortnight to

317
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: help with cleaning, just because it's something I don't want

318
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: to necessary. I don't necessarily like doing it. But also

319
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: it's like the whole time thing, and when you don't

320
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: have time, you don't feel yourself, you don't have creative ideas,

321
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: like it's a domino effect. So have a think about it, guys.

322
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: I hope this was helpful, and create space, guys. And

323
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: if you're feeling like anything I was saying, really try

324
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: and be proactive about creating space. Thanks so much for
