1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: When did I lose this permission to do nothing and

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: really have these moments to myself of joy. Finally, welcome

3

9
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: The right place. In today's solo.

10
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Pep talk, I am chatting about giving yourself permission to

11
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: do nothing, my experience with this, I've got a bit

12
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: of a story for you, and then also what I've

13
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of found that has been I guess, the consequence

14
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: or you know, the thing that's come out of creating stillness.

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: So let's back it.

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: Up a little bit and explain a little bit of

17
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: why I'm you even talking about this.

18
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: So in a.

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: Couple of episodes ago, I spoke to you about my

20
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: recent diagnosis with Hashi motos, which is a autoimmune thyroid condition.

21
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: The condition basically means I have a whole host of

22
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: symptoms and they can sort of be triggered by another

23
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: whole host of things. It's it was super confusing for

24
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: me to find out what this condition was because they're

25
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: symptoms like you know, hormonea balance, fatigue, irregular period, acne,

26
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: and these are all things I've been getting for a

27
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: very long time. And then I finally got the right

28
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: test done and I've found this out.

29
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: So I have been I'm on thyroid medication.

30
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: And also I go way into I go into what

31
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing with this condition in my other episode, so

32
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: I will link that in the show notes if you're interested,

33
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: I won't, you know, repeat the whole thing. But basically,

34
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: I did get recommended or I am. I am taking

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: medication from my GP. And then I've also been seeing

36
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: my natural path who has got me on you know,

37
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: some different herbs and supplements, and she recommended me to

38
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: see an acupunturist. Wow. And if you guys are kind

39
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: of been here from the start, you would know I'm

40
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: a big fan of acupuncture. I used to get it

41
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: religious a couple of years ago when I lived in Brisbane.

42
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: I had an amazing accupuncturist. I'll shout her out. It's

43
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: called Greenstone Acupuncture and Brisbane and I saw Anna and

44
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: she was the first time I ever did acupuncture, and

45
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: it's when I was dealing with hormone issues and in

46
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: regular periods in adult acne, and she completely.

47
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: Helped me.

48
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: So basically, if you guys don't know what acupunctuated acupuncture is, sorry,

49
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: it is where you get those little tiny needles put

50
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: into you.

51
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: It is a Chinese traditional.

52
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: Practice and basically it's all about mine body connection. So

53
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: basically it's this medicine of fine needles and they insert

54
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: it in the skin at specific points which are considered

55
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: to be lines of energy, so you can use it

56
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: for a whole range of physical and mental conditions. And

57
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: what it does is it improves the body's functions and

58
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: promotes the natural self healing process by stimulating you know,

59
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: these energies and points. And so, like I said, I've

60
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: seen an acupuncturist previously for my skin and hormones and

61
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: I found it really helped. And so myntch path is like,

62
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: I know a really good one at the Gold Coast,

63
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Go see her, and I had my first session a

64
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and so I will be doing that,

65
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: which is really great. But I was chatting to her

66
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: about you know, my Hashimotos and my.

67
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: Condition, and.

68
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm told, like I've told you guys this and I

69
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: kind of know this, but she's like, I think you know,

70
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: the Hoshimoto's flare up is a huge sign of how

71
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: stressed you are and how exhausted, Like you know your

72
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: dreamals are because you know, you clearly have a stressful

73
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: job and you're constantly on and that is so like

74
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: you guys know this about me. I love my work.

75
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: I love to work. I love to put one hundred

76
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: percent of effort into things, and I also like doing

77
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot of things at once. So as you guys know,

78
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: I'm so multi passionate. I have this podcast where it's

79
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: all about interviewing, you know, people I find interesting and

80
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: who I think I might be helpful for you guys,

81
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: and then chatting about really these bits of health, then

82
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: finance and feeling empowered to go after what you want

83
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: and not keeping yourself small. And obviously you could tell

84
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: by these podcasts I'm just so passionate about that. And

85
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: then I also, you know, have my other business, Naked

86
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: Harvest Supplements, which I'm so passionate about in regards to

87
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: being in the fitness and health industry and producing natural

88
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: supplements that actually taste good. And I have a wide

89
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: variety of things I like to do, and I'm wearing

90
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: lots of hats and all that sort of thing, and

91
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: so of course I know this I and even though

92
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: I love what I do and I love to work,

93
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: I am definitely realizing that it's a lot for my

94
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: body and it's a lot to like, you know, go

95
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: and go and go. And I will often find myself

96
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: if I have the option of having the day off

97
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: and you know, having some time to myself or working

98
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: more on a project I enjoy, I always.

99
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: Pick the working more.

100
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: Anyway, Long story short, My acupunctress was like, you need

101
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: to be inserting more nothingness time and more you time.

102
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I do that, you know, I

103
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: do that every Sunday, me and Tim go for a

104
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: beach coffee and blah blah blah. And she's like, look,

105
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: that's great, but you need to be inserting an hour

106
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: every single day because you're like it's not enough and

107
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: your body is just not really coping with it. And

108
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: so she kind of explained it in the way of like,

109
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, imagine if you didn't exercise all week and

110
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: then on a Sunday, you did like a four hour

111
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: workout and you're like, you know, that's that's all I'm

112
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: doing this week. And she said the exact same with

113
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: including stillness and nothingness is it's going to be a

114
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: lot more better for me and my nervous system and

115
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: my body if I include one hour per day. And

116
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, I can tell you someone who

117
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: likes you know, structure and routines and you know, homework,

118
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: so this is homework. You have to be doing nothing

119
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: for one hour per day. And she explained to me,

120
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: like this is stuff like you can't have your phone,

121
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: you can't be with someone unless it's like really.

122
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: Sort of filling your cup up.

123
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: It's got to be like you know, meditation, eating lunch outside.

124
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: She even said stuff like watching a TV show as

125
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: long as you're not on your phone and you're being

126
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: completely present. But like doing hobby stuff like she was

127
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: explaining she loves to do pottery, and it's an hour

128
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: of time where you know, her team can't contact her

129
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: and she can't you know, use her phone because it's.

130
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Full of clay.

131
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: And she said, it's just so important for us to

132
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: take this time for ourselves and really be present and

133
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, be still. And you know, as she's saying it,

134
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, okay, you know, thinking, I'm like

135
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: I kind of do this, you know, I meditate and

136
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: I journal. But she really kind of pressed the point

137
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: of it being not productive in the way of you know,

138
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: like about business or you know, bettering yourself, but really

139
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: just like a time for stillness and nothing. And she

140
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: explained it in the way of when we're working and

141
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: when we're doing a hard gym session, and when we're

142
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, going, going, going and doing and doing doing,

143
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: we're in this state of fight or flight, which I'm

144
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: sure you guys know about this concept. So you're telling

145
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: your body you're stimulated, you're going, you've got you know,

146
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: quartersol going. And so she said, what you need is

147
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: at least an hour. She said, I could split it

148
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: up like half an hour in the morning, half an

149
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: hour in the afternoon if it was too hard to

150
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: do a whole hour where I'm really getting into you

151
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: know this, I think it's called rest and digest.

152
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: So it's the opposite switching.

153
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: From the flight flight or flight and getting into this

154
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: rest and digest and you know, telling my nervous system,

155
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: it's okay, we can relax and doing.

156
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: This every single day.

157
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, yup, easy. And it's funny

158
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: because like the first couple of days after that appointment,

159
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: I really struggled. I like, I even like, you know,

160
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: one afternoon, I had a plan to you know, I

161
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: left it. In the afternoon. I had planned to go

162
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: a beach walk by myself with my air pods and

163
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna turn my phone on silent and you know,

164
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: just listen to.

165
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: A podcast or music. And then something happened.

166
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: With work and I couldn't do it, and I was

167
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: like to Tim, I was like, wow, I didn't realize

168
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: how much time I don't put aside for myself and

169
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: how much time I don't have for myself. And so

170
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: after the first couple of days of kind of missing

171
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: this and not really getting to it, I was like, no,

172
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: I need to take this seriously and I need to

173
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: actually like you know, inject this time and see it

174
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: as you know, a business meeting the same sort of

175
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: value as a business meeting i'd have with you know,

176
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Cooper or mel or someone like that. And so I

177
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: started injecting this time, I'm not gonna lie. I started

178
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: with just half an hour, but I have been like

179
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: sort of revving it up to the hour point. And

180
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: I've been doing stuff like going for a beach walk

181
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: with flight mode on.

182
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: I have been eating.

183
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: Lunch outside with the dogs with my phone inside and

184
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: flight mode. I've been doing yoga, like going to a

185
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: yoga class. I've been going for a walk with a girlfriend.

186
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: She said, just be careful when you do stuff with

187
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: other people, because sometimes even though you know you're sitting

188
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: there and walking, if the person is putting like a

189
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: lot of not so much like bad energy, but let's

190
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: just say you know your friend has an issue and

191
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: she's putting a lot of kind of like she's knitting

192
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: energy from you, and you're having to give her time

193
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: and energy to sort out this problem or something like that.

194
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: So she said, just be very careful anything when you're

195
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: giving out energy and you're not just kind of like

196
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: sitting still and letting it come to you, you don't

197
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: want to be doing.

198
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: So I've been doing that.

199
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: And it's funny because the other day I watched the

200
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: movie Eat, Pray, Love, and in the movie, she's it's

201
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,239
Speaker 1: in her first place where she's in Italy and she's

202
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: getting the lecture from a local Italian person who they

203
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: call it and I'm gonna butcher this, but it's la

204
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: dolchea nitcha. Yeah, I can't say, but basically, it's this

205
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: word in Italian that means the sweetness of doing nothing.

206
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: And so, you know, this Italian man was explaining, you know, Americans,

207
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: they work their arses off during the week, and then

208
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: because they're so exhausted from the week, they spend their

209
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: weekends in their pjs, you know, watching TV. And he

210
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: really was pushing this fact of you know, you need

211
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: to be able to do nothing, can be in the

212
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: moment and be present. And I was like thinking of

213
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: my life, and I was like, oh, this may hit

214
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: home a little a little bit, because I do do that,

215
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Like I fit so much my week and I get

216
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: so much done with work, and then when it comes

217
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: to like meantime, I often just want to do nothing

218
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: and like veg out on the couch. And of course,

219
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's

220
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: anything wrong with that, but I was like, when did

221
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: I lose this thing? When did I lose this permission

222
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: to do nothing and really have these moments to myself

223
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: of joy. And so, like I said, I have been

224
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: really putting this in place. I've been being serious about this,

225
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: Like I have calendar time locked out.

226
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: I tell people not to contact me.

227
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: I need an hour, and I've been doing it for

228
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: an hour each day, and this crazy, amazing thing has happened.

229
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: And this is what you know, this whole podcast is about,

230
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: is I've realized by taking this time out for myself,

231
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: it's obviously going to be amazing for my health and

232
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: my hashimotos. But also what I've realized is, for example,

233
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: if I take an hour out at lunchtime, I ually

234
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: have this period in the afternoon where I have complete

235
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: brain fog and I get like a little bit unproductive

236
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: just because I've been going hard all day.

237
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: But what I've been finding is, you know, I take.

238
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: This hour out and I'm away from my phone and

239
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm away from the hustle and bustle and whatnot, and

240
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: it's like making me super creative. And I'm finding I'm

241
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: having some really good ideas. I'm having some really good

242
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: like light bulb moments. I've just got like a download.

243
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: Literally this morning, when I went from my beach walk

244
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: for a really good business idea within my business that

245
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: just sounds amazing to do, and I think that will

246
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: be so helpful for you guys. And I'm also just

247
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: feeling the sense of like peace and happiness. And I

248
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: know that probably sounds like so like oh typical, but

249
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: it just it really feels good. And it's like when

250
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: did I forget to take you know, us, Like if

251
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: you guys think about an hour per day, that it's

252
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: not a huge amount of time, and at the start,

253
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't even do that amount of time.

254
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: And so it's kind of like remember back in the.

255
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Day when they're like, you know, half an hour, an

256
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: hour per day is only percentage amount of time, you know,

257
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: just do your workout, and it was all kind of

258
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, pushing you to work out. And it's kind

259
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: of like the same concept of just having time for yourself.

260
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: And I couldn't agree more. This episode is brought to

261
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: you by Naked Harvest Supplements, the natural supplement company I

262
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: co founded with my brother. This company was really brought

263
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: to life because I have been using supplements for such

264
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: a long time since the start of my fitness journey.

265
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: But what I really struggled to find was all natural

266
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: supplements without the crap, that were tailored to women's health

267
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,520

Speaker 1: But let's get back into the episode. So I just

293
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: wanted to come on here and challenge you guys. If

294
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: you're currently in a state where you're not feeling yourself,

295
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: maybe your health isn't one hundred percent, you're feeling super anxious,

296
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: or even if you're feeling if you're someone like me,

297
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: where you're just feeling like you don't have enough time

298
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: for these things, like you don't have enough energy or

299
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: time for anything, start injecting these periods of time, like

300
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: literally start with thirty minutes when you're not on your phone,

301
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: when you're not serving other people, when you're not being productive.

302
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, it could be as

303
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: simple as like playing with your dogs or getting outside

304
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: putting your feet in the earth, And it's so simple,

305
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: but it's like completely blowing my mind right now, I

306
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: can't actually wait to see I have my next like

307
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: acupunture appointment and tell her because it just has it

308
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: just it feels so good and I'm feeling so much

309
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: more creative. And I guess it's also really helping me

310
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: because I was actually my structured brain was like, what

311
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: is happening? And I was I was researching kind of

312
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: the scientific way, the scientific background of it.

313
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: And what happens when you have.

314
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: This space and stillness is you're going from the right

315
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: side of your brain, which is actually let me check

316
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: if it's the right or left before I tell you guys, Okay, yeap, no,

317
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: I've got it right. So the left side of your

318
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: brain is very analytical and like structural, it loves routines,

319
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: and it's very masculine energy. And I am definitely someone

320
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: who is dominated with my left brain one hundred and

321
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: ten percent. We all know this. And so what I'm

322
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 1: finding is what actually happens is when you are in

323
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: stillness and you have this space and time to yourself,

324
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: you actually start activating your right side of your brain.

325
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: And your right side of your brain is creative and

326
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: artistic and flowy, and it's definitely more your fem energy.

327
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: And so I'm finding this really sort of amazing transition

328
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: of going from you know, my left brain to my

329
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: right brain. And it has been so helpful from getting

330
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: out into this like masculine doing feeling like I have

331
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: no time. And it's the funniest thing happens is when

332
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: I actually take an hour out of my day and

333
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: to get into the right side of my brain and

334
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: this stillness and this fem feeling, I'm actually realizing that

335
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: I do have enough time, and I'm realizing my priorities

336
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: and I'm realizing what's important. And I've got like these

337
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: really good examples of just what has happened recently. And

338
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: for instance, the other Friday I was seeing I had

339
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: planned to see my best friend who recently had her baby,

340
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: and her baby's so cute guys, and I had seen

341
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: her before and she was like, Oh, I'm going to

342
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: come to the coast and see you and we can

343
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: have lunch.

344
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: And go to the beach.

345
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: And I was like, cool, come Friday, you know, I'll

346
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: have everything done. And I kind of forgot about telling

347
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: her this, and then it came to Friday and I

348
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: had some stuff to get done and I was feeling

349
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: really stressed, and so I got like all my major

350
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: priorities done in the morning, but I still had some

351
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: kind of just like more ad mini stuff to do.

352
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: But I really wanted to get it done before the

353
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: weekend because I wouldn't have time to catch.

354
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 2: Up on the weekend. Anyway.

355
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: I was going to bail and just go, oh, look,

356
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have enough time, blah blah blah.

357
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: But then I just thought, Georgia, like your emails are

358
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: going to be there when you, you know, get back to

359
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: your computer on Monday or whatever. Like you've done the

360
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: most important things. You don't need to be like on

361
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: top of things all the time because these tasks like

362
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: they just keep coming back, there's more of them. Like,

363
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: just take some time to yourself, It's okay. And so

364
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: I didn't bail. I had this time with my best

365
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: friend and it completely filled up my car and just

366
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: made me feel so good. And it was only about,

367
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, three hours, but I thought, you know, I'm

368
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: someone who can create my own schedule, like what am

369
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: I doing with my priorities?

370
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: And it was like I needed to do that, and.

371
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: Also like I have a great example this this weekend

372
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: that just has gone On Sunday, I did beach coffee

373
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: was Tim, which was great, and then I saw some

374
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: girlfriends and we just went to the beach and we

375
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: turned and we had a laugh and had some assiables

376
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: and that was amazing. But I still kind of felt

377
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: like I hadn't had my mean time because I'm a

378
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: bit of an introvert and I was giving out a

379
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: lot of energy and so I, you know, like they

380
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: were all going to have some ava drinks and watch

381
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: the UFC fight and that sort of thing.

382
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: And so I decided to go home and Tim still.

383
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: Wasn't home, and I had a shower, I cleaned up

384
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: the house, I got a bit sort of for the

385
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: next day, and then I just there and I read

386
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: my book and I looked out the window.

387
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: And I know you're probably thinking this is like the

388
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: most boring thing, but it.

389
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: Felt so good, and I hadn't done anything like that

390
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: because usually, if you know, I've got home on a

391
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: Sunday and I've got a spare hour or two, I'm

392
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: like prepping for the next week and I'm doing some

393
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: meal prep, I'm writing my to do lists, and to

394
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: just have that time where you know, I still saw friends,

395
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: I still did, you know, get ready. I didn't really

396
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: get ready for the week, but I kind of just

397
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: like cleaned up my room and made myself a bit sortid.

398
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: But then still having that hour where I just did nothing,

399
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: and you know, previous to me would have been like, oh,

400
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: that's so unproductive, like i'd I'll just get some stuff done,

401
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: and it just felt so goddamn good. So anyway, guys,

402
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: I just had to share, and I've been calling it,

403
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: like to Tim and my family, I'm like, it's the

404
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: hour of power, the hour of me, and I'm really

405
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: committing to this process because I am very committed to

406
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: this health journey of you know, helping my hoshimotos and

407
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: helping my autoimmune condition. But I strongly believe that like

408
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: life doesn't happen to me, it happens for me. So

409
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, on this journey, I'm supposed to

410
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: be learning things like this and growing as a human.

411
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: So anyway, long story short, I've been taking an hour

412
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: out for just me.

413
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 2: It has been so amazing.

414
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you guys about it and really

415
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: challenge you if you're feeling the same and needing something

416
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: like that to do it. But yeah, I'm going to

417
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,159
