15
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>be a robot, just be yourself. Literally, the definition to

16
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 2>romanticize is to make something seem better, more appealing than

17
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the way it is. Alter your life, your habits, and

18
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 2>even your routines to make it more like exciting for you.

19
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and just to clarify again, the romanticizing is about

20
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 1>your relationship with yourself, the things that we're going to

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 1>talk about right in this episode.

22
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>It's not really being in love with yourself.

23
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And in love with the things you do and

24
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 1>the habits you create for yourself. It's about how you

25
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>live your daily life and the gratitude you practice and yeah,

26
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>just again, how you make things more special for yourself.

27
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 1>So today we're going to be sharing ten little simple

28
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>things you can do to make your life more enjoyable,

29
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 1>feel a little bit more romanticized.

30
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>And just being present in the moment.

31
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 1>One of the biggest things to keep in mind when

32
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 1>we're kind of giving you all these tips is that

33
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 1>in any case, I think you can always slow down

34
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and focus on all five of your senses to put

35
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>yourself in the moment, because matter where you are, what

36
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you're doing, it's really really easy, like especially in this

37
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>day and age with how fast we consume everything and

38
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>go through everything to just passively act. But if you're

39
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>able to, like, like, for example, if you're listening to

40
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>music and you really listen to this song and you're like, damn,

41
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 1>like this song's about me, I don't know, just kind

42
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of like associate yourself with with all of your surroundings,

43
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>really allow yourself to savor your environment, and that in

44
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 1>and of itself is a way to like easily romanticize

45
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 1>whatever situation you're in and make it more.

46
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Enjoyable for you.

47
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely, Yes, give yourself the privilege of being in

48
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the moment. And yeah, without further ado, we're gonna share

49
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>ten simple steps that you guys can all do you

50
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to romanticize your life.

51
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, So number one, we have make things less

52
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>simple and make them more special. Because going back to

53
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 2>the definition of to romanticize, it also says deal with

54
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>or describe in an idealized or unrealistic fashion. So hikey

55
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>be delusional, hikey be delusional. Yes, So, like back to

56
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the example of the song. Personally, like, sometimes I'll listen

57
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to songs and imagine them as like a scene in

58
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>my head or like enjoy the song as if it

59
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>was like background music to like a movie I'm in

60
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like the main character. I have a little story.

61
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>When I was younger, I used to imagine that the

62
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>music I was listening to was coming from the sky,

63
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>like from the atmosphere, and it kind of give off

64
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 2>that main character like vibes that which you kind of

65
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>need to romanticize your life. And I mean, yes, that

66
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 2>is a little bit delusional, but it's your world.

67
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean like at the end of the day.

68
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Like a lot of these steps are about like like

69
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>your your process of thinking, and that is entirely yours, right, And.

70
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like treating your inner child and remembering

71
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>what it is to have fun just in your own

72
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>little head.

73
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like allowing yourself to feel like special in the

74
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>way of like romanticizing through like all your daily little

75
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>actions is like super important to nurturing your innertrial, right.

76
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Just changing your perspective again like high key, low key delusional,

77
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 2>like in your routines, Like when you're cooking, pretend like

78
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 2>you're on like a star Chef like episode to you got.

79
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 3>To shape that food.

80
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Second tip is to slow down, and like one of

81
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the easiest ways is to give yourself an extra like

82
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 1>fifteen to thirty minutes in the morning. And I know

83
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 1>for college students that really is a lot to ask.

84
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>No, especially me, like after staying up super late the

85
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>night before, it's really tough. But just from my personal

86
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>like perspective, I've been really trying to implement like romanticizing

87
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>everything these past two weeks and doing that just literally

88
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>like five or ten minutes just meditating there in my bed,

89
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>like sitting in silence, not on my phone, maybe reading

90
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>a book I'm supposed to catch up on, like resets

91
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.639
<v Speaker 2>my mind for the day. Yeah.

92
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I think slow mornings change people and allow you to

93
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 1>start your day off on the right foot because it's

94
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>so I mean, there's like being able to start the

95
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>day in like a positive light and like in a

96
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 1>not I don't know, like rushed manner is super duper important.

97
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>And like to further romanticize that, like if you have

98
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>an extra fifteen to thirty minutes and you're like, I

99
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like macha super popular right now. So if you're

100
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>like a Macha drinker, you make yourself like a little macha,

101
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>go get one or go get a coffee, and then

102
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 1>while you're drinking that you can do a little journaling

103
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>just whatever makes you feel like more in tune with

104
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>yourself and just a little bit more special.

105
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

106
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I actually had two machas today. I really treated myself. Okay,

107
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 2>number three this I'm very big on. Make a playlist.

108
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so when we say make a playlist, like in

109
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>order to romanticize your life, you're not making a passive

110
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 1>little playlist that has some songs that you're just gonna

111
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>keep skipping until you find them that you like. Like,

112
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 1>this playlist is solidly set with songs that you love

113
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that make you feel so good that you enjoy to

114
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>their core, that make.

115
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 2>You feel like the music is coming out of the

116
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>sky exactly.

117
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay, Lona, So what are some artists that are

118
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 1>on your romanticized playlist?

119
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's see. I have cigarettes after Sex, TV Girl, Billie Eilish,

120
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>some Frank Ocean beach House, lots of instrumental music for me,

121
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>So what about you?

122
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.959
<v Speaker 1>I feel like for me, I'm kind of like getting

123
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 1>into this like Summer twenty sixteen, core like throwbacks like

124
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Gez DJ, Snake, Pillow Talks, Zain all the old Justin Bieber.

125
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 3>I love this.

126
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>And did we talk about like setting a cover photo.

127
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 1>There's like a feature where you can change the cover

128
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 1>photo and like add a little description and stuff.

129
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I definitely do this, like once a month, I'll just

130
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>cleanse it all and I'll add new photos and whatever,

131
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>like aesthetic or vibe I'm feeling right now, like what

132
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 2>my Pinch's board looks like.

133
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Also, I feel like a little bit underrated, a little

134
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>bit Niche might not be for everybody, but for me

135
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes just like walking around. I'll put some classical music

136
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 1>on and then I feel like I'm in like a ballet,

137
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 1>like I'm in Swan Lake.

138
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that kind of hints at the delusional aspect.

139
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.079
<v Speaker 1>It gotta be a little bit delusional. The best people

140
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 1>are always a little bit delusional.

141
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 3>You just gotta give in.

142
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Gotta give in to that little little child in you

143
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 1>who who think she's in Swan Lake?

144
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Ye?

145
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 3>All right.

146
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Next on our list we have is do a skincare routine.

147
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, like, I know this is like a little

148
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 1>bit of a cliche one. Obviously, personal hygiene is important,

149
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.279
<v Speaker 1>but like finding a routine that you can stick to

150
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and that like is special to you is like super therapeutic.

151
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 1>That is just time you have dedicated to like yourself.

152
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 1>Even beyond just like skincare, there's like hair care, body care.

153
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, practice self care and self love yeah period. Yeah.

154
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 3>Step five explore nature more.

155
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think a lot of people take nature for granted,

156
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Like especially me coming from a big city like Chicago

157
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 2>and then moving to California, Like, I really notice the

158
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 2>difference between being stuck in like such an industrial city

159
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 2>versus being around nature.

160
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel like exploring nature more and just exploring

161
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>what's outside of your home more in a romanticized light

162
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>is super beneficial. There's a notion that like, in order

163
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to like I don't know, feel more connected to nature

164
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>or more connected to what's outside, you need to like

165
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>go on some big trip or go somewhere far from

166
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>where you're from. But that's not necessarily true. I feel

167
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 1>like people overlook like what's around them all the time.

168
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Literally just by taking a walk through the neighborhood or

169
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>going on a run, if that's what you like to do.

170
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Just exploring what's around you while you have your little

171
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.879
<v Speaker 1>playlists going. By the way, music is super important. I

172
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 1>feel like we always come back to it, like having

173
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that playlist going.

174
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's really.

175
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Like the backbone of like our emotions.

176
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, literally, just like making the area or the city

177
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 1>around you feel like, just connecting yourself more with it

178
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 1>by exploring it is another way to romanticize your life. Yeah,

179
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like if you're the type of person

180
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 1>who gets bored with like like typical things that you do,

181
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>or like if you have like a routine that you're

182
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of bored of, you could try like new routes,

183
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Like if you're driving to work or to school, or walking,

184
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>like you try a new roo. Maybe it's a little further,

185
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 1>but that just means you need to get up a

186
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>little earlier.

187
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, try something new.

188
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>If you go to a certain grocery store day in

189
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 1>and day out, like you could try a new grocery store.

190
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Or if you walk your dog, like to a certain park,

191
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 1>walk them to another park. All these different things that

192
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.919
<v Speaker 1>like will allow you to like explore.

193
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Number six, we have invest in your space. So for me,

194
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>how I do this is I like to keep my

195
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 2>space very clean and organized, and once in a while,

196
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>like I'll just completely rearrange it.

197
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel like investing in your space is something

198
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that you don't need a lot of money to do,

199
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Like if you're looking for decorations that you resonate with.

200
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I don't really believe in like fast

201
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.720
<v Speaker 1>fashion purchases steer away from like the trending while art

202
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 1>on TikTok as tempting as those things are because they're

203
00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:00.159
<v Speaker 1>cheap and easy to come by. Like go go to

204
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>your local thrift store and look at the massive art

205
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and wall the core sections that they always have. Like

206
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.559
<v Speaker 1>I've never been to a thrift store that doesn't have

207
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.399
<v Speaker 1>a crazy weird art section that you can look at,

208
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>but find like pieces or things that you are gonna

209
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 1>like like and enjoy looking at day in and day out.

210
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Another thing is if you ever are like sick of

211
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.679
<v Speaker 2>your space, like it's okay to change your environment.

212
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 1>You can keep the same things and just organize them

213
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 1>in a new way so that when you go into

214
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 1>the same space that feels like a new space.

215
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 2>That kind of seeps into our next step, which is

216
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 2>unlocking the right side of your brain, which is the

217
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 2>side that controls creativity and your artistic side.

218
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>So what we mean by unlocking this side of your

219
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>brain is pursuing the things that you do or like

220
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>certain activities that aren't necessarily like work in school focus,

221
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Like if you have new hobbies that you want to try,

222
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>like exercise, different kinds of exercise, yoga, pilates, cycling, walking, hiking.

223
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you don't have to be an expert at it,

224
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Like you could have no idea what you're doing, but

225
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 2>just doing it, it's gonna make you feel like proud

226
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>of yourself that you're even trying.

227
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you, like you just said, you don't have

228
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 1>to be good at the things you do, but if

229
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you like doing them, then there's no reason you shouldn't

230
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 1>be doing them.

231
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's huge. Like I'm not that great at painting,

232
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>but I still like to paint and hang up my

233
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>art on my wall. And like another thing is just

234
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 2>like practicing like your hobbies. Like for me personally, that

235
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 2>i'd be playing guitar, like I'll work so hard in

236
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 2>a song and then being able to play it like

237
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>to the people around me and like my friends and

238
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>family like brings us closer together. And it also makes

239
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>me feel good that I put so much work into

240
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>this and I'm able to like wrighten other people's day.

241
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I feel like being able to like practice

242
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>hobbies like like guitar and like art and find hobbies

243
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 1>in the gym or different kind of exercise that you enjoy,

244
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 1>like really is one of the things that builds on

245
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>your relationship with yourself and allows you to feel more

246
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.879
<v Speaker 1>confident because like, you have these things that feel personal

247
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to you, your identity because they are that aren't things

248
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that you just like are passively doing.

249
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.960
<v Speaker 3>They're things that you like, know, you like and enjoy.

250
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely, Like I don't get fomo anymore. Like when

251
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:30.720
<v Speaker 2>all my friends are going out and I just want

252
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>to stay in because I know I could stay in

253
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and I could work on this skill that, like, I'm

254
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 2>really passionate about.

255
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 1>The next step, step number eight is to think and

256
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.399
<v Speaker 1>look at yourself in the third person.

257
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

258
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a good tactic to refresh your

259
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 2>perspective and to kind of see yourself like as if

260
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>you are the main character in a movie.

261
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely.

262
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think with this like kind of detached view,

263
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.759
<v Speaker 1>it's easier to not see yourself in such a negative

264
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.639
<v Speaker 1>light because at the end of the day, there's always

265
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.879
<v Speaker 1>going to be like the saying you are your worst critic,

266
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 1>and it's true, like no one is judging you as

267
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>much as you are.

268
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:13.879
<v Speaker 3>You're judging yourself.

269
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, no one is criticizing your your hobbies and

270
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>actions as much as you probably are yourself. The way

271
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 1>you look, the things you say, like all those things

272
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like you're at the end of the day, your worst critic.

273
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 1>And taking your like a step back and looking at

274
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 1>yourself through the third person gives you a mindful view

275
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 1>that allows you to like appreciate who you are and

276
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.799
<v Speaker 1>what you have around you way more than you you

277
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>probably normally do it because you're just you know, like

278
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 1>living in it.

279
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you kind of become more aware of yourself, like

280
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 2>as a human being and just as a person in

281
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the world, and it kind of makes you more self

282
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.639
<v Speaker 2>aware and more willing to take care of your body

283
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 2>and your soul. And this kind of goes back into

284
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 2>like the five senses, like really being aware of those

285
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>things around you and seeing how like they're affecting you.

286
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Looking at yourself objectively gives you, like the ability to

287
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>foster more self love and foster a better self image

288
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:17.559
<v Speaker 1>through just being able to like appreciate all of your

289
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>unique qualities and appreciate the situation you're in.

290
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 2>It definitely allows you to like take a step back

291
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.399
<v Speaker 2>and slow down, as you say, and moving on to

292
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.519
<v Speaker 2>number nine, act how your child's self would act. So

293
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.919
<v Speaker 2>don't be afraid of what other people are gonna think

294
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>of you. Like little kids, they just do what they

295
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:42.480
<v Speaker 2>want because it it's genuinely interesting and fun for them. Like,

296
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.759
<v Speaker 2>don't be your own strict parent, like allow yourself to

297
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 2>have fun and allow that inner child to guide you.

298
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think this kind of ties in with like

299
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>so many of the topics that we've touched on acting

300
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 1>how your child self would act like in this state

301
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>where you're obviously not a child kind of just reminds

302
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you that at the end of the day, like doing

303
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>things that you enjoy and that you love without any

304
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.879
<v Speaker 1>pressure or any fear of judgment is super important to

305
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.559
<v Speaker 1>developing like a sense of self that you feel proud

306
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.759
<v Speaker 1>of and that you're happy to be.

307
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Definitely like, don't be afraid to like join in on

308
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>activities like you've never done before. Don't be so strict

309
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 2>and stern like rule abiding in your life that you

310
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 2>forget that there's magic and romanticization like everywhere.

311
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the biggest things with this is

312
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.559
<v Speaker 1>like surrounding yourself with people who allow you to act

313
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>this way, because I feel like since I've been to college,

314
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.799
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely met people who I've been like, Okay, I

315
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.440
<v Speaker 1>don't really want to be super close to you because

316
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you're gonna think my child's self and

317
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.559
<v Speaker 1>the things I find are funny are funny and all

318
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of those kinds of things. But I have met other

319
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>people who I feel completely like safe around and who

320
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I know that I can just like let this version

321
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 1>of myself exist around and and that'll be okay with it,

322
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:12.559
<v Speaker 1>you know.

323
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, So moving on to number ten.

324
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 1>A bit of a bit of a philosophical way to

325
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:26.559
<v Speaker 1>romanticize your life, okay, Lana. Number ten, imagine your eighty

326
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.880
<v Speaker 1>year old self teleported into your nineteen year old body

327
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:30.759
<v Speaker 1>for one day.

328
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.799
<v Speaker 3>What would you do? Wow?

329
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I could do so many things, Like I could just

330
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 2>really live life like to the fullest.

331
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like, like what would your thought process be?

332
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Like?

333
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:43.119
<v Speaker 3>What would you think?

334
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, I would just think myself that

335
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I have the ability to like walk and run, and

336
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>like I have my health, like my full perfect health.

337
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what I like, go skydiving or something.

338
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I think I would definitely take immediate like initiative and

339
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.440
<v Speaker 1>all of the things I want to do, take advantage

340
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>of all of the opportunities I have around me, specifically

341
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>like in regards to my career and passions I have.

342
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 1>And another thing I would do is like not take

343
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>for granted like the health the current state of health

344
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm in because I know, like as you aged, those

345
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>things go away and whether you like it or not,

346
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to be able to like run as well.

347
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there are like certain exceptions.

348
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.920
<v Speaker 1>There's like really old people who run marathons, Like obviously

349
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.839
<v Speaker 1>those are like superhumans. But like I know, in general,

350
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.559
<v Speaker 1>like as you age, you're you're not able to exercise

351
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 1>as much as you want, and you're not able to

352
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.559
<v Speaker 1>do basic things that you're able to do when you're

353
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>like nineteen. So yeah, I would definitely just take advantage

354
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of all my bodies capable of and all of the

355
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.799
<v Speaker 1>people around me, for sure.

356
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely. I think I would just celebrate like the

357
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.160
<v Speaker 2>little wins in life, you know, and just how kind

358
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.480
<v Speaker 2>of be more vigilant of all like the small things

359
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.400
<v Speaker 2>that kind of like make up for the big things

360
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.039
<v Speaker 2>and just live life in like its fullest capacity and

361
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.960
<v Speaker 2>to stop taking like all of these things for granted

362
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that like we're at such a good school and we

363
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 2>have our health and we have family and kind of

364
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 2>again live life to its very fullest.

365
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I think our main point is to not live life

366
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 1>so passively and not let things that feel really.

367
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:37.519
<v Speaker 3>Mundane be mundane.

368
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, I think that's all we've got on
