WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.120 Hi everyone, and welcome back to the podcast episode. My name is Alicia 2 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.480 Cogan, the host of the Globe Secrets podcast, where I help you expand 3 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.599 your mind and become more self aware so that you can glow up. It's 4 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:15.640 the best version of yourself. Hello, how are we doing today? Today? 5 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.559 We're just gonna key key and if you guys don't know what that means, 6 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.800 basically, we're just gonna chat. It's gonna be an off topic episode. 7 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.359 Listen. I've been kind of slacking with the off topic episodes. Technically 8 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.359 today's supposed to be like a main theme, but whatever, it is, 9 00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.320 what it is, Okay, we're just rolling with the punches. I feel 10 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.320 like I need to have this off topic episode to talk about a bunch of 11 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.679 random things because that's where my soul is wanting to go. Today is a 12 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:47.119 very It's such a weird day, really, it's so rainy and gloomy, 13 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.920 but I'm not mad about it. You know those days in like elementary school 14 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.600 where there's like thunderstorms and you can't go outside during recess because like it's raining, 15 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:00.880 But it's like fun. It's like exciting in a way, at least 16 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.079 it was for me. That's what it feels like today, Like after this 17 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.079 episode, I just want to crawl into bed, eat some popcorn, and 18 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.840 watch some Real Housewives. Like that is the energy today. Although this morning 19 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.400 it was so stunning the sun was out, and the sun has been out. 20 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:23.280 Guys. I am awakening. I am freaking awakening, which I've been 21 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.079 talking about like every episode for the past few weeks. But it's been so 22 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.359 nice and so warm, to the point where I've actually been sitting outside right 23 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.640 near the water reading, like actually being able to sit outside because it's that 24 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.719 warm, which is not even that warm, like it's been getting up to 25 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:48.359 like twelve degrees, which in Toronto is pretty warm. So I am just 26 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:53.959 living. All I need is a book sitting by the water, quiet mornings. 27 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.959 Oh my gosh, the lightning if you saw on YouTube, I don't 28 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.879 know if that just flashed. It's crazy. And I'm staring at the sea 29 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.959 and Tower, so when there's lightning in the city, it goes right on 30 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.159 the tip of the sea and tower. It's wild. Anyways, what was 31 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:15.400 I saying, reading by the water? I have actually know what. I'm 32 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.199 not gonna talk about the book that I'm reading yet because I want to talk 33 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.439 about the ins and outs for February moving into March, I figured that that's 34 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.759 what the episode will be like, ins and outs, and I want to 35 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:31.520 talk about like softening into the resistance that sometimes we have in life, but 36 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.960 bringing it back to a wakening and spring awakening. I should say, I 37 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.439 don't know if anyone else gets a little bit under the weather, like you 38 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.960 get a cold or you get the flu or something when the seasons change, 39 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:50.439 but I feel like I am. My body has been fighting off I was 40 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.280 gonna say fighting off a disease. That's not what's happening. My body has 41 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.120 been definitely fighting something off. So I've been feeling a little bit like low 42 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.439 energy and not feeling the best. But I also feel okay because I think 43 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:07.759 just the knowing that spring is around the corner and I've been getting so much 44 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.159 more sun and just excitement for life. This is just new energy that I'm 45 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.159 kind of like low key okay with it. But I feel like and not 46 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.319 me having to make everything very spiritual and like super deep. Maybe genuinely my 47 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.520 body's just fighting something off and has nothing to do with this, But I 48 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:30.080 feel like this tends to happen to me where my body goes through this purging 49 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.840 in a way of maybe getting sick moving into a new season. It's almost 50 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.719 like I feel like I'm just like shedding energetically, spiritually, physically, all 51 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:46.120 of the weight, all of the everything that I've been caring for so long. 52 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.960 But I'm not really that sick. But anyways, I just wanted to 53 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.199 mention that to see if anyone else is going through that, Like I know 54 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.280 that it is like a natural, normal thing, not natural or normal, 55 00:03:53.960 --> 00:04:00.840 a common thing to get sick kind of when this seasons change, or like 56 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.960 when the weather changes, which it has been. There was like really really 57 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.960 cool days and then super warm days, and I've been like going outside a 58 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.840 lot, so I don't know. Anyways, I'm feeling good though, So 59 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.199 let's talk about some ins. I figured we'll just make this a little bit 60 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.160 fun, and I would love to know what your guys's ins and outs are 61 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:25.600 for spring, essentially, you know, shedding the energy, the weight, 62 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:32.040 the mindset, the habits. From December January, February. What are we 63 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:38.079 bringing into March? What are we not bringing in? And the first thing 64 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:42.759 that we're bringing in is very superficial official I should say, sorry, which 65 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:47.000 is reality TV shows right now, which I think this is important because I 66 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:54.680 think that as the season changes, I think what we consume should change, 67 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.439 and I think we should start new seasons of shows. And so right now, 68 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.279 I just started Summerhouse on Hey You. I watch all of my reality 69 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:09.279 TV shows on Hey You, and I mean we're only like two episodes, 70 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.800 I think into it, but I'm obsessed here for I love that show. 71 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.639 I think naturally, Summer House they record in the summertime, so it just 72 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.000 makes me excited for summer and just them doing like day drinking and fun things. 73 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.720 Obviously, there's a lot of drama, there's a lot of this that, 74 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.560 but that's the show that I've been starting along with vander pump Rules. 75 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:34.399 Not too much has been happening other than we're watching Sandoval come back from the 76 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:43.560 scandal all which was so dark and crazy to me. I think, I 77 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.040 don't want to talk about too much, just in case people haven't watched. 78 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:51.720 But I just think that he could have redeemed himself so much sooner. But 79 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:59.079 his need to be right and his like, I don't know, his like 80 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:04.720 per check protection of himself is not allowing things to just be I don't know, 81 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.839 like things are just being dragged on from this this scandal, which is 82 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.319 crazy because they're like Shena and La La. You can tell, and a 83 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.600 few people around him are kind of like opening up their arms a little bit 84 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:21.480 for him to just bow down and say he left up and say that he 85 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.879 was wrong, but he just can't fully say that, which is just so 86 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.360 annoying to me because I'm like, the fact that people are even like redeeming 87 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.480 you or allowing you to redeem yourself is crazy considering the level of deceit that 88 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:38.680 you did and you played out and you're not about to jump on this chance. 89 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.040 So we'll see, We'll see how the evolution of Santoval goes. I 90 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.720 think what's gonna happen is people will start kind of forgiving him, but that's 91 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:54.000 crazy. And then another episode, not episode, another show that I am 92 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.319 watching, which is I don't know if it's new in terms of if there's 93 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.360 a new season running right now, but I'm watching The Housewives of New Jersey. 94 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.439 Everyone has been saying to watch that. I have been slacking on that, 95 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:08.319 so I'm like star I started around season ten. I think I'm on 96 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:13.160 season eleven right now or twelve, so I'm kind of behind whoops. So 97 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.639 I still don't know like what's going on like right now, like real time. 98 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.879 But those are the three shows that I am looking forward to every single 99 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.439 week, and I just think it's nice to just break up your week. 100 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:30.240 I think being a self improvement girally always working on something personally for me, 101 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:38.240 running my own everything, managing my own self. Sometimes life gets very serious 102 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.800 and very like in a good way in terms of reading books and self development 103 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.519 and hitting goals. But I do which I never really allowed myself to have 104 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.199 because I just had to always be very responsible and like hit goals and work 105 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.480 all the time. I was always always working. I didn't really have time 106 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.399 to like during the week, like Wednesday night, have a girl's night or 107 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:03.199 by myself just watch reality TV shows and relaxing and just like slowing down and 108 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.199 being present in life, like like not being in this energy of rushing, 109 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.959 which we talked about on last week's episode. But I feel like now I'm 110 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:18.879 slowly starting to really just enjoy life and not being like having a few nights 111 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.319 out of the week or like one night out of the week where I am 112 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.000 looking forward to sitting down and watching reality TV shows like it's fun to me. 113 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.920 So that's what I've been doing. Let me know what episodes or shows 114 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.919 you guys have been really loving and watching. So that's definitely in and it 115 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.960 will continue to be in throughout this summer and spring. Really, the next 116 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:46.080 thing that is in is morning Electrolytes. I am on my electrolyt game. 117 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:56.879 I go through periods of time where I fall more into like supplementation than others. 118 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.519 For me, it's more I have to be motivated, I have to 119 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.480 be like entering a new identity. I think sometimes to incorporate like a greens 120 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.559 powder or electrolytes or something like that. I think mainly because I am somebody 121 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.279 who, at the end of the day understands that you know, your main 122 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.840 meals throughout your day, weeks, months will really give you all you need. 123 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.879 I'm not somebody who's like looking to these things as like a means to 124 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.960 an end that's going to fix my issues per se the way that maybe I 125 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.360 used to be, and I would spend so much money on supplements in this 126 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.840 that. But it is nice to have like a supplement here and there, 127 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.200 And obviously there are benefits of taking supplements and things of that nature. I 128 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.759 don't really necessarily look at electrolytes as a full on supplement, although technically it 129 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.399 is because it has minerals in it. Anyways, in the morning, I 130 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:56.240 am not trying, but I'm just leaning into having something that is extra supporting 131 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.000 my body, and that is electrolytes. So right now I'm drinking liquid I've 132 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.799 I honestly am just drinking them because I stole them from my best friend Joey. 133 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.519 She had like a huge, like a cookie jar filled with these liquid 134 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.720 ivy packets, so I took a bunch of them. I do have peak 135 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.399 life as well, which I should have brought. I should have taken those 136 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.320 out, but I with electrolytes. The reason why I like them is because 137 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.519 obviously it adds back minerals and I don't know if there's any sort of vitamins 138 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:31.519 in those ones, but having minerals in the sense of adding in sodium to 139 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.360 your water, like especially first thing, having sodium in the morning, which 140 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.879 sounds bad in a way because we've been taught like, don't have sodium, 141 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.120 low sodium this that, But salt essentially is actually really really good to hydrate 142 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.840 your body. You can drink water all day, but if you're not having 143 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.279 the essential nutrients for your body to be able to actually absorb this water into 144 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.399 your cells. It's kind of like, obviously drinking water is great, no 145 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.440 matter what. You should not drink water. You have to stay hydrated, 146 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.000 but having some minerals sodium in your diet can be very very helpful for you 147 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.440 to really get the benefits of what water essentially can do for you. So 148 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.799 that's what I've been trying to do. In the morning. I do find 149 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.080 liquid ivy. I didn't like it in the summertime as much as I do 150 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.200 now. Maybe it's just because the way that I'm looking at it is it's 151 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.759 really really beneficial for I. Just like when I drink it in the morning, 152 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.559 I sit here and I think about how my cells are like rehydrating when 153 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.799 I'm drinking it. So maybe it's just more of a placebo thing. But 154 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.000 I think the best thing you can do when you're drinking liquid ivy packets the 155 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:45.159 lemon lime flavor, to be exact, is to drink it ice cold. 156 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.000 I don't think it tastes really good when it's like lukewarm, Okay, So 157 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.679 what I do is I take my athletic greens bottle, I add a shit 158 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.799 ton sorry for swearing of ice cubes in it, and then I feel it 159 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:05.440 up with my fluoride free mineral added water in it, shake it up, 160 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.120 and I drink it, and I usually will go on a little morning walk. 161 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.679 Recently, that's what I've been doing, and I just feel so hydrated, 162 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.919 so freaking good. Next thing that is in is reading. I am 163 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.600 super super into reading right now, mainly because of the Globe Challenge, the 164 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.240 one hour of self development every single day. I have been really diving into 165 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.039 that, and I'm so happy about that because I just I don't know. 166 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.600 I just I am a learner. I'm a natural seeker of what the heck 167 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:41.360 is going on in this world. Genuinely, I sometimes think about myself or 168 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.799 my brain as not I don't think about myself as like an engineer, but 169 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:52.240 I think in terms of sometimes what engineers do. Like engineers are very much 170 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.399 interested in connecting the dots and seeing how things work and operate, and I 171 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.039 think that that's just like how I look at things versus sometimes I think like 172 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:09.320 doctors, sometimes their mindsets will be more about figuring out how to deal with 173 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:16.200 the symptom at hand. But I'm more interested in how it operates from the 174 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.279 very beginning, like the root, which is technically like some if you look 175 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.480 at like the umbrella of engineering. Anyways, why am I talking about that? 176 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.360 Because I'm a lifelong learner, And do you need to be an engineer 177 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.559 to be a lifelong learner? No? Anyways, what book am I reading 178 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.480 right now? Psycho Cybernetics. I have been wanting to read this book. 179 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.519 Dylan James talks about this book all of the time. A lot of people 180 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.679 talk about this book. I am super super into self concept, self image, 181 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.759 your mindset, and how it really dictates your actions. It really dictates, 182 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.000 you know, like just the way that you view yourself. If you 183 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:58.519 view yourself as somebody who a successful person, who is as somebody who can 184 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.960 figure things out, you tend to go in the direction of trying and learning, 185 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.480 regardless if you fail. Things like that. So I have been really 186 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.879 really loving this book. I think I want to talk about this book more 187 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.320 in terms of identity work and self image and self concept. I have a 188 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.919 few episodes about this, but I am genuinely reading every single chapter and taking 189 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.519 so many pages of notes because I'm obsessed with this book. I should have 190 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.960 read this book earlier. I really should have known. Anyways, some of 191 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.679 you guys have been saying that you've read that book. If you're looking for 192 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.240 a self development book that's really going to change your life, I would definitely 193 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.440 say Psycho Cybernetics if you're interested in self concept. Also, you could check 194 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.440 out my book The Globe Secrets Podcast. Sorry, the Globe Secrets Podcast. 195 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.919 Am I okay? The Ultimate Globe Guide? Oh my gosh. But I 196 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:52.840 think like my book is more so for the internal, deep healing emotional self 197 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.440 work and self image is more of like the masculine mindset work, and I 198 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.240 think you need to definitely do both. You need to focus on both. 199 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.440 So anyways, I've been really loving that I've been reading it on my Kindle, 200 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:09.039 although I am now realizing I should have just ordered a physical copy of 201 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.480 this damn book because I just want to highlight everything. But I think that 202 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:18.840 it forces me to write out a lot more notes than I would if I 203 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.519 just had the physical books, So maybe that's a good thing. The next 204 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:28.240 thing that is in that I've been doing is Pinterest scrolling versus social media scrolling. 205 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:35.159 I am so into Pinterest right now. I think in terms of new 206 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.200 seasons, I tend to fall back into Pinterest, creating new mood boards, 207 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.279 vision boards, whatever. But I would say the past few months, I 208 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.759 haven't really been on Pinterest that much. I feel like I haven't really been 209 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.399 inspired that much. But because I am, I'm super into scrolling on Pinterest, 210 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:56.440 so that's super in versus social media. I'm not really into it right 211 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.960 now. Another thing that's really in for me is teeth health, which is 212 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.039 always technically in. But the reason why I'm bringing this up is because I'm 213 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:11.519 actually getting a procedure done on my gums and a few weeks, so I 214 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.639 guess quick side note, I think I've talked about this before, but I've 215 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.919 had a long journey with my teeth health. I grew up with having a 216 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.960 lot of cavities. I was a kid who ate a lot of candy, 217 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.440 and obviously my mom did the best to tell me to brush my teeth, 218 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.919 and I technically did. It wasn't that I never did, but I absolutely 219 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.639 ate so much candy, and I talk about it in my book in terms 220 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.679 of there was actually like emotional reason why I was eating candy all the time. 221 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:45.000 Anyways, that obviously didn't help with my teeth health. My parents didn't 222 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.559 have a lot of money growing up. We didn't have insurance, so we 223 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.679 didn't go probably as frequently as needed. And when I did, if I 224 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.600 had any cavities in terms of like any of my molars, they pulled out 225 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.360 a few of my molars, like my back teeth, because you don't need 226 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.440 you don't technically need. You have two molars in the back and you don't 227 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.720 technically need both, So that's why they were like more willing to pull them, 228 00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.279 which obviously I wish that that didn't happen. They didn't have money to 229 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.200 get a root canal. And then I also had a really bad phase of 230 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:23.440 my life of having acid reflex and that ruined a lot of the enamel of 231 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:29.039 my teeth, and I just just had a really long journey with not having 232 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.839 the best teeth health. I spent a lot of money working on my teeth, 233 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.720 getting all my tech cavities filled, getting root canals when I needed it, 234 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:37.480 which wasn't a lot. I think I have like one or two. 235 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.440 I ended up getting my wisdom teeth out. I've spent a lot of time. 236 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.480 And then of course after the whole phase of like being in my early 237 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.680 twenties and really taking care of my teeth, like flossing all the time, 238 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:51.839 making sure my teeth are always brushed, like never missing a day, like 239 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:55.279 all that kind of stuff, just taking more responsibility of my teeth. So 240 00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:00.400 I've come a very far away now on the cause metic side of my teeth. 241 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:07.359 I have pretty naturally straight teeth. I actually do, and in my 242 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.319 teeth in terms of the straightness of them, have never necessarily been an issue, 243 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.799 although I've always had a gap in my teeth and it's been a little 244 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.039 bit bigger than maybe you can even see on YouTube right now or even when 245 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:26.880 I like vlog closer, because I have composite filling, which a dentist basically 246 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.440 almost closed my gap, but if he didn't want to close it completely, 247 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.160 because then my teeth would look too wide. Because I actually have a pretty 248 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.920 gummy smile if I were to like smile really big, which is not the 249 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.759 end of the world. A lot of people like that. I see a 250 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.680 lot of people who have gummy smiles, and I don't think it's an issue 251 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:49.920 for me personally. I've always not necessarily loved the look of it on my 252 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:56.319 teeth, but never to the point where I was like, like, what 253 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.000 am I going to do about it? Now? I've always heard of getting 254 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:04.119 laser gum removal, like removing the excess amount of gum on your teeth and 255 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.559 just raising like the look of the or lengthening the look of your teeth essentially, 256 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.839 So that was something that was always in my head. But I really 257 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.079 wanted to go on a journey of first loving my smile and loving my teeth 258 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.160 and taking care of my teeth before anything else. So when I was on 259 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.680 a journey of glowing up and learning to love myself more, that was definitely 260 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.839 a part of me that I really learned to love because I was like, 261 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.640 well, what if I never have enough money to ever get anything done with 262 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:37.200 my teeth? And I don't want to always look at myself like I'm I 263 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.960 can't love my smile until I get it done type thing. But I understand, 264 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:47.039 like I've always been somebody who said, like, you know, I'm 265 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:52.960 not immune to insecurities. I'm also I also understand when people get things done, 266 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.160 like when people get nose jobs done or people get whatever they get done. 267 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:02.839 Like I understand like living in the I don't know in twenty first century, 268 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.279 it's hard to always feel like super confident with everything natural, everything that 269 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.680 it so I totally get that, But for me personally, I just wanted 270 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:15.680 to learn how to still love my smile. And then if I wanted to 271 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.680 in the future get any sort of cosmetic work done, I would allow myself, 272 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.559 or I would save up, or I would kind of take my time 273 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.440 doing that. So the first thing that I really wanted to do was, 274 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.839 if anything, to show more of my teeth. So raise my gum line 275 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:37.440 a little bit. And I'm only saying this also because it is actually like 276 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:44.640 it's certain that my gum line is lower than average. Again, so it's 277 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.480 not like I'm just like pulling this out of thin air. Although again I 278 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.559 could absolutely just keep my gum line where it is and it's fine, Like 279 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.799 no one's really saying that it's bad or wrong or whatever. But growing up 280 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:02.839 as a child, my teeth really aren't showing as much as they could. 281 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.400 There is a lot more that you could show. So like, when I 282 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.079 go to a dentist, they're not surprised that I'm coming and saying, oh, 283 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.279 like, I have a gummy smile. Can we maybe work on this, 284 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.119 because they're like, now we have a case here. Essentially now on 285 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:19.039 top of the gums, my gap was always the main focus that I wanted 286 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.880 to work on. I guess I wanted it closed. I wanted my gap 287 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:30.200 closed, but because I couldn't close it with composite filling, because my teeth 288 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.720 would look way too wide, I thought, Okay, I'll just wait until 289 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.880 I maybe do the gum lift and then see. But what I came to 290 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.960 realize is it's actually probably more beneficial if I do in visile line. Now 291 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.519 I'm not doing in visil line because I think my teeth are really uneven, 292 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.799 because they're not. I mean, I have a little bit of crowding and 293 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.599 the bottom of my teeth. That's never been an issue. I don't care 294 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.960 to have flawless teeth. I don't care to have perfect veneers. I'm not 295 00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:00.960 doing that. But it makes more sense to just align my teeth the proper 296 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:06.119 way versus just filling it with composite filling. Say all that to say, 297 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:11.559 I have been going to my dentist for the past few months, just seeing 298 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.920 what the options are and what makes the best sense for my teeth. I'm 299 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.279 not rushing into anything, and I've been thinking about this for so long, 300 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.200 and I've given myself enough time. So what we're going to be doing is 301 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.240 we're going to be working on the gums first and then I'm going to be 302 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.519 starting in visi line, which I'm kind of like, I don't know I'm 303 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.920 excited for. I think like I'm not in a position where it's like, 304 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.920 oh my gosh, I can't wait to get it because I need it so 305 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.559 bad and I need my teeth to be fixed, which is something that I 306 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.000 really wanted to be grounded in. I wanted to be if I was going 307 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.920 to get in visil line or do anything with my gums. I wanted to 308 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.240 be at a level where I didn't like need it, like I don't need 309 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.079 it to go live my life. I don't need it to go smile, 310 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.400 right, So yeah, that's what I'm doing. So I guess teeth health 311 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:02.559 will be a very big like focus, not health, but teeth focus in 312 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.400 the next year, probably in like a half, but I'm going to be 313 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.079 getting that done. And if you guys want more information about that or anything 314 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:11.759 to do with like teeth health, because I know the last time I've talked 315 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.200 about it, a lot of you guys wanted me to talk about it more. 316 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.839 And you know, I think that there's a lot of there's at least 317 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:25.200 there was a lot of like a little bit of shame. And I had 318 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:30.119 a little bit of embarrassment when I was going through this process of working on 319 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.839 my teeth because I felt like I had bad teeth and I was like, 320 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.240 oh my god, I can't believe my teeth got like this. And I 321 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.880 just want to maybe just say for anyone who's currently going through any sort of 322 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.400 teeth insecurities or teeth journeys, or you're realizing, wow, I have more 323 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.440 work to do on my teeth, or I didn't, you know, maybe 324 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.559 didn't take care of my teeth as much as I thought, Like, you 325 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.799 are so not alone. I think that's something that a lot of people talk 326 00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.799 about, is like teeth insecurities, and it can really affect your confidence in 327 00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.160 the way that you smile. And I think that when I was younger, 328 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.440 for sure, I was so much more insecure with my teeth and my smile. 329 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.519 Like I really didn't smile a lot and a lot of that I had 330 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.920 to do well. I mean, there was many reasons why I wasn't smiling, 331 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.559 but there was this aspect of like cosmetically, I didn't necessarily think that 332 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.759 my teeth were the thing that was I don't know the same as what I 333 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.960 was seeing around and I was really insecure about that. But I had to 334 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.720 work on that, and I'm really happy that I went through the process of 335 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.359 accepting what I had before even doing any sort of changes. And I always 336 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.359 bring it back to things that I've talked about in my book about you know, 337 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.039 it doesn't mean that you're ever gonna be not wanting to change something about 338 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.039 you, but I think you should really go through the process of learning how 339 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.640 to embrace parts of you before trying to do any sort of changes, because 340 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.880 I think when you go through a process of accepting and learning that you are 341 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.000 inherently a good person and you're worthy and people will love you no matter how 342 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.799 you look first, I think that it changes the way that you want to 343 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:11.160 go on onto changing yourself. I'll and I'll say an example of you know, 344 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:17.079 when I grew up and I didn't necessarily have the same body type as 345 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.599 maybe some of the girls that were being pushed on social media like BBL energy, 346 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.519 Like I don't have like super big glutes. I felt really insecure about 347 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.599 that, and I my mindset went to, oh, let me just look 348 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.039 to look into getting a BBL and no shade to anyone who who's gotten it, 349 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.799 who or who wants to. I get it. I get it. 350 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.200 But I really was like I need it, and I'm and I'm like, 351 00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:45.720 was really considering it. I was even considering getting fake boobs. And now 352 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.960 I would never, like I just know would never. I actually really really 353 00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:55.200 like the way that my body looks, but I, for me, would 354 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:57.240 go to these extremes. And even with my teeth, I was like, 355 00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.960 I'm just gonna get veneers, like my teeth are crap, like completely crap 356 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.319 whatever, until I went on this journey of like, okay, slow down, 357 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.960 like let's learn and see if we can accept our bodies and love our 358 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.559 bodies and this that and the third, and then I came out to the 359 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:14.359 point where okay, well, maybe I want to like grow my glutes at 360 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:15.680 the gym, but I'm not going to the extent of doing a BBL. 361 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:22.039 Or I learned how to accept my teeth so much that I didn't get into 362 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.440 debt and do this fly to Turkey and get veneers done, which I'm happy. 363 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:30.000 I didn't because I think that I didn't have the money at the time, 364 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.839 and I probably still would have been insecure, and I don't think I 365 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.720 would have liked the Veneers. If I'm being honest and realistically, I don't 366 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.400 need them. I actually still have very beautiful teeth and I can work with 367 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.920 them a lot, and I can do things that are a little bit less 368 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.680 invasive in a way. Now, you might go on that journey and still 369 00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.400 realize you want to get the BBL, you still want to get the Veneers, 370 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.039 and everyone's journey is different. But for me it was definitely coming out 371 00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:57.119 of this place of desperation of like I need it now and I need it 372 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:06.640 now. Energy really was reflected in my life through these extreme measures like like 373 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.720 getting the Eveneers and doing like a BBL and such. So anyways, I 374 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.559 sum all that up to say, I feel you if you are ever going 375 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:22.160 through any sort of insecurities, and yeah, I think everyone's journey is different, 376 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:27.480 but you are absolutely allowed to have preferences and change and grow. But 377 00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:33.079 give yourself time, is what I'll say. Being twenty eight now and having 378 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:34.519 the means to be able to do it, I'm so happy that I did 379 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:41.480 wait but give yourself some time. And the last thing that I think is 380 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:51.920 in for this season is softening into things that feel really resistant or you are 381 00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.759 feeling really resistant too, or I'm feeling really resistant too. And I kind 382 00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.720 of said this at the beginning, but I think there are things that we 383 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:07.680 feel resistant too because it's genuinely not in alignment. And there's things that sometimes 384 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.160 we just have to do that we might not feel super comfortable doing, but 385 00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:18.680 realistically, these things are a part of our journey, and to not resist 386 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:23.480 it so much and understand that it's just simply a stop. It's simply just 387 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.079 a part of the journey. Like life is not going to be like this 388 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.519 forever. It's going to feel like this forever. And we were talking about 389 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:37.680 this in last night's women's circle I was in. We were just like going 390 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.000 over or not going over, but like expressing some of the resistance that we 391 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.839 might feel to certain things in our lives. And I guess I'll give this 392 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:51.160 example of sometimes I feel resistance to going to things such as women's circles because 393 00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:55.880 it requires a level of first well, the one with the women's circles that 394 00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:59.759 I go to, it's led by my somatic therapists. So it's very much 395 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:04.839 so somatic therapy bringing your awareness to your feeling state, your your body, 396 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:10.519 the sensations that you're feeling in your body as you're listening to someone else and 397 00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:15.759 as you are sharing. So it's it's it's hard work to be aware of 398 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.720 what's happening in your body, especially when you are somebody who's very much so 399 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.279 in their mind and very much so like go go go, but also just 400 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:29.240 the the idea and the energy of like going to this space where we're speaking 401 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.119 about our feelings and we're letting people in. Like sometimes I have resistance to 402 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:40.279 that. Now it's been hard for me to navigate whether it's it's it's genuine 403 00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:42.839 resistance because I don't want to go there sometimes in my emotions, which is 404 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.599 very normal, you know, sometimes you're not in the mood to just like 405 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:53.960 go deep in your emotions, or if it's simply this no longer having interest 406 00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.599 in doing this type of thing in my life, and I want to go 407 00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:00.640 in this direction over here, and I want to put my attention and focus 408 00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:06.519 into like learning about something else, let's say. And so, but what 409 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.079 I've been like realizing within myself and what we were talking about just crazy that 410 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:17.759 was even brought up, was like what would it feel like to just soften 411 00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:25.480 into this experience and not have so much resistance to it? Like why why 412 00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:30.440 do I need to even have an answer? Why why do I need to 413 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.920 Yeah, I guess I don't know have an answer. I'm like thinking and 414 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:38.440 feeling out as I'm like speaking about this, But I just think, like 415 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.680 the way I look at it is this. I guess the mindset that I 416 00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.240 have in terms of this example, maybe it is true that I'm not really 417 00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.480 interested in spending a lot more of my time and effort doing let's say, 418 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.839 like going into these like women's circles and like doing this like deep healing work 419 00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:03.920 in this that. But I don't have to say no to it. I 420 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.720 can just show up in a way of this doesn't need to be my forever 421 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:12.640 thing, And I think that when I have this energy of this is not 422 00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.920 going to be a forever thing, I tend to kind of like go on 423 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.640 this journey or this ride, and I learn a lot from this thing that 424 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.200 maybe I'm even having resistance too, And I end up learning a lot that 425 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:30.920 I'm able to bring with me on the journey or the path forward to where 426 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.759 I'm supposed to be in my life. But sometimes, like when I feel 427 00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:38.200 resistance to something or like something I don't really enjoy, I'm kind of like, 428 00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.119 oh, I don't want to be here, as if this here is 429 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.599 going to be my end all. Maybe it's not going to be your end 430 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.640 all, and quite frankly, it's probably not. But I feel like, 431 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.920 you know, I think about this in terms of like a job you don't 432 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:57.680 like or a class you're not enjoying right now, maybe let's soften into this 433 00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.519 class or this job in this way of reminding yourself like it's not gonna be 434 00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:07.200 a forever thing. It won't. This is not your end and quite frankly, 435 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.960 this job or this class or this thing that you're this lesson that you're 436 00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:15.440 learning right now feels uncomfortable. But we don't have to resistance so much. 437 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:20.480 Sorry, we don't have to resist it so much because realistically, this thing 438 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.480 is probably just a part of our journey. Now. Of course, there's 439 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.759 gonna be times where you're resisting because it's really not for you, But I'm 440 00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.720 not talking about those those instances. I'm talking about the instances where you where 441 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.680 you can't genuinely figure out whether it's something you really want or or you're just 442 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.319 resisting it because it's hard for you because you've never done it, or you 443 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:42.799 fear it, or you're not comfortable with it because it's something new to you. 444 00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.599 And I think right now, I'm just in this energy of just allowing 445 00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:54.119 and not needing to know the answer, and I find that it it just 446 00:32:54.920 --> 00:33:00.680 I end up being able to pull wisdom from things a lot better when I 447 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:02.799 am not trying to figure out the answer or have this resistance to it. 448 00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.920 So I don't know if that made any sense, but I'm just very much 449 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:13.720 so looking at things that I have somewhat resistance too that I don't know if 450 00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:16.000 it's because I don't want to do it or if it's because I'm uncomfortable doing 451 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.680 it with as this part of the journey, it's just part of the journey. 452 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:22.880 What can I learn from it? What can I learn from it? 453 00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:29.240 How can I soften into this, this this thing that the universe is clearly 454 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.480 presenting to me for some reason, What can I learn from it? And 455 00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:37.440 honestly, I'll learn something from it, and I'll bring it with me on 456 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.079 this journey of life. And I've been having a lot of insights recently of 457 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:47.079 where I see myself in like the far future in terms of what I'm doing 458 00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:52.480 for like career wise, and I think it's actually way beyond what I even 459 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:57.720 think that it is. And we sometimes have to hold on to something obviously, 460 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.400 like an idea of what we want to do for our careers or where 461 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.680 we want to go in our lives, obviously, like we need some sort 462 00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:10.440 of goal or direction. But I'm starting to realize that what I think I'm 463 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:17.360 meant to do these things are only just a piece of the puzzle into something 464 00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:22.320 that's even bigger, which is I think sometimes the reason why I feel like 465 00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:25.599 I actually have some sort of resistance to these things that I'm currently learning in 466 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.280 my life because I'm telling myself, like these things have to be the end 467 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:31.639 all, like this is going to be it, but it doesn't have to 468 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:37.760 be it. So again, i don't know if this is resonating with anyone, 469 00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:42.320 but that's where I'm at in my life. I'm just in this state 470 00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:49.920 of like softening and allowing and just learning, like taking in, taking in 471 00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:53.199 whatever it is that the universe is bringing me right now. As information as 472 00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:57.199 a bigger piece to the puzzle. And that just really makes me feel a 473 00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:00.639 little bit better about life because sometimes I have since because I'm telling myself like, 474 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.320 oh, this is the end thing and like and then I have resistance 475 00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.800 because I'm like, well, this doesn't feel comfortable and I don't really enjoy 476 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.639 it here, Like I don't really want to stop here. But it's like, 477 00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:14.880 who said that you're stopping here? This is just a pit stop in 478 00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:16.000 a way, you know, it doesn't have to be your end all. 479 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:22.400 So anyways, that's what's in for this new season of my life. Please 480 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.400 let me know what is in for you. And I was like, oh, 481 00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:28.719 okay, let's do outs. And I only have a few outs. 482 00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.559 I don't know, so I guess I'll just I'll read them out. One 483 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:43.159 would be reading and attaining knowledge but not taking action on it, and this 484 00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:50.480 can be This can be hard sometimes because for me, I'm very much so 485 00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.000 somebody who love like when I learn something, I just want to dive into 486 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:55.679 it and I want to learn every part or every aspect of it and I 487 00:35:55.679 --> 00:36:00.320 want to just like connect all the dots and like whatever. But it's something 488 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.800 that I'm also learning in Psycho cybernetics, which I'm learning in life in general. 489 00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.320 I learned this in sematic therapy. I learned this in life and everything 490 00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:13.039 that I've gone through. You really do like you can learn so much knowledge, 491 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.400 but you have to apply it. It's not even about applying, it's 492 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:22.719 just even experiencing. So I think even a small, small example is when 493 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:30.239 I'm reading a book, taking notes really like diving into what it is that 494 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:32.880 I am learning instead of just reading it and going on to the next thing 495 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:38.199 and going on to the next thing. So I'm trying to take things slow 496 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:42.199 in my life, and I'm really trying to apply the things that I'm learning 497 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.920 and practicing, getting out of my own way and practicing. I'm also taking 498 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:50.280 a well, I'm basically in school, like online school, so I'm learning 499 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:54.079 a lot about sematic experiencing essentially, and I'm learning this thing called a drop 500 00:36:54.079 --> 00:37:02.400 in process where you are bringing a client to their awareness more back to their 501 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:09.119 body, to feeling safe, to feeling not so anxiety ridden in a way 502 00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:16.639 so that we can have a more expansive session. And I am not learning 503 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:22.239 anything more until I really put this into practice and do this drop in practice, 504 00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.000 and like do it by myself, do it with friends, do it 505 00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:28.519 with clients, this, that, and the third. So I'm really just 506 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:32.920 being aware of when I am learning and I'm not implementing. And I think 507 00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.880 this is very prominent in my life right now because I'm really diving into self 508 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:43.480 development and doing lots of reading, schooling things of that nature. So I'm 509 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.719 really trying to practice what I preach in a way. Okay, the next 510 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:53.280 thing that is out is kind of service level but very important, and I 511 00:37:53.320 --> 00:38:00.639 feel so good is not ordering out slash like uber eating. And I think 512 00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:05.239 I was doing this a lot. I was doing a lot of this really 513 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:12.840 in January and February, like early feb but mainly January because I just wasn't 514 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:15.559 motivated to cook. I was just bored of my meals. But I just 515 00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.599 I feel so you know, it's not necessarily about oh, I don't want 516 00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.400 to order out because I was eating so terribly. I don't think I was 517 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:27.840 feeling the worst, although I'm sure I am definitely feeling better because I'm making 518 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:31.639 sure that I'm not Obviously, making food at home is way better than ordering 519 00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:36.920 out. But I think also just the amount of money I was spending that 520 00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:40.719 was just not needed. So I just feel physically and financially like a weight 521 00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:47.039 has been lifted, and I feel so clear, not ordering out so much. 522 00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:52.239 So that is definitely out for March, like we're not I mean, 523 00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:54.679 I'm not being perfect with it, but I don't need you. I'm very 524 00:38:54.760 --> 00:39:00.079 much so in my I think with the glow up challenges really helped me. 525 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:06.119 Protein Era. Sorry for saying Era, but protein Era cooking meals at home, 526 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:09.719 I don't know, So that's definitely out. Next thing that is out 527 00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:15.119 is scrolling on TikTok. I honestly have not been scrolling on TikTok for a 528 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.760 while now, and it's funny because the reason why I wrote this is because 529 00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:23.840 last night I went on TikTok. Like I go on TikTok to check notifications 530 00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:29.360 if I ever do, but I don't. I haven't been like actually scrolling, 531 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:32.159 but I went on the scrolling side of things like following in for you, 532 00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:38.559 and I instantly just felt so so gross. I felt very overwhelmed. 533 00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:44.880 I felt anxious about things that I wasn't anxious about before I went on that 534 00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.440 app as a creator, but also just as a person who's living their lives. 535 00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:53.840 And I'm out with it. I'm here to create, but I'm not 536 00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:00.320 here to consume right now, and the last thing that is out is giving 537 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:06.559 advice, and not for the podcast, but for my friendship advice right now 538 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:09.480 in my life. I am very much so you know what they're gonna learn, 539 00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:14.239 they're gonna learn. I'm gonna just sit back. I'm just gonna agree. 540 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:19.400 I'm gonna have to agree to disagree, okay. And I feel like 541 00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:22.039 I've learned this over the years to just you know, your friends are not 542 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:25.000 always gonna take your advice around with it. I already know that, and 543 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:30.039 I really have learned to only give advice if I'm being asked. But I'm 544 00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:34.519 very much so still in this energy of really really pulling back the advice and 545 00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:39.440 really just even the opinion and just letting my friends do what they want and 546 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:45.639 see how it goes. That's all I'm gonna say on that. Okay, 547 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:51.559 So that's in, that's out. I am fighting off a cold, but 548 00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:54.559 it's fine because this is what usually happens when we go and enter a new 549 00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:59.719 season of life. At least for me. I am reading psycho Cybernetics and 550 00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:05.639 I'm just enjoying every moment of it. I am embracing the sun. This 551 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:09.239 weekend is going to be like twelve degrees in sunny. I'm gonna be vlogging 552 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:14.400 again. I'll probably show you guys on the main channel, which is where 553 00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:19.639 I'm gonna be vlogging some new routines that I'm getting into. It's my spring 554 00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:22.440 awakening, I should say, and uh yeah, let me know what you 555 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.199 guys are gonna be doing for March. I can't believe, well, when 556 00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:28.880 this episode comes out the next day is gonna be March first, which, 557 00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:32.039 oh my god, I'm just I'm so here for I'm genuinely one hundred percent 558 00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:36.159 in the spring mode. You can't bring me back even if I don't even 559 00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:38.199 care if it snows again or if it gets like minus whatever, I don't 560 00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:45.639 care. Okay, the days are getting longer. My soul's awakening and we're 561 00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:50.639 we're we're feeling really good. So anyways, that'll be it for today's episode. 562 00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:53.440 I hope you guys have a great day night week, and I'll see 563 00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:55.039 you in the next one. Bye.
