<v Speaker 1>and help you actually get some shot eye for once. Ever,

6
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>feel like your brain is a hamster wheel on overdrive,

7
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Like thoughts are popping off left and right, keeping you

8
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>up all night with that existential dread. Yet me too,

9
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>But guess what. This ain't about ignoring it. It's about

10
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>mastering the art of chill mind. For this style today,

11
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>we're diving deep into how to manage your emotions like

12
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>a boss, because let's be real, adulting is hard enough

13
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>with that emotional chaos adding fuel to the fire. So

14
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 1>buckle up, grab your favorite pillow or not, ye do you,

15
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>and get ready to level up your mental game. First

16
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 1>things first, stop pretending you're okay when you're spiraling. We

17
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>all know that I'm good. Mask doesn't fool anyone. It's like, girl,

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>just admit you need a mental health day. They exists

19
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>for a reason. The key here is to actually check

20
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>in with yourself, like, really feel your emotions don't judge them,

21
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>just acknowledge them. Think of it as a reality check,

22
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 1>not self bidy party. You know that feeling when a

23
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>sun hits you right in the fields. Yeah, same energy.

24
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Next up, ditch the negativity spiral asap. We all have

25
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>those what if scenarios running wild in our heads, but seriously,

26
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>how much time are we wasting on things we can't control?

27
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Stop giving this thoughts power. Challenge them with positive affirmations

28
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>like I am capable or I got this. Even if

29
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 1>it feels cheesy at first, your brain starts to buy

30
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 1>it eventually, trust me, I've been there. Speaking of self talk,

31
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>be your own hype person. You wouldn't trush talk a friend,

32
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>so why do we do it to ourselves? Replace that

33
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 1>in a critic with the supportive cheerleader. Talk to yourself

34
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>like you would talk to bestie who just landed their

35
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>dream job. Positive vibes only Remember, confidence is a muscle.

36
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>The more you flex it, the stronger it gets. Now,

37
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>let's get real for a sec. Social media can be

38
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 1>a total mind Afgay comparison is the thief of joy,

39
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and let's be honest, scrolling through endless feets of perfect

40
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>lives can leave you feeling like you're coming up short,

41
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>take a break and follow accounts that make you feel lesson.

42
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>It's okay to curate your fee to reflect what truly

43
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>inspires and uplifts you. Your mental health is worth it. Finally,

44
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>prioritize self care. I know and know another buzzword, but

45
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 1>hear me out. This ain't bububble bass and phase masks,

46
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 1>though those are cool to. It's about taking intentional time

47
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>for yourself to recharge and reset. Get outside, listen to

48
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>your favorite music, dance like nobody's watching. Whatever brings you joy.

51
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>for your emotions. It's about being present in the moment,

52
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Kind of like meditating,

53
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 1>but less chanting, more chill vibes. Take a deep breath,

54
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>focus on your senses. What do you see, hear, smell,

55

<v Speaker 1>brownd yourself in the present moment. This helps break but
