Speaker 1: Hi everyone, and welcome back to another podcast episode. My
Speaker 1: name is Alicia Cogain, the host of the Globe Secrets podcast,
Speaker 1: where I help you expand your mind and become more
Speaker 1: self awares that you can glow up into the best
Speaker 1: version of yourself. Hello and happy Sunday, and my apologies
Speaker 1: for missing last week's episode. Life has truly been lifing
Speaker 1: and I actually want this episode to be about what
Speaker 1: to do when life feels messy, uncomfortable, unfinished, because I
Speaker 1: think that this is a universal experience and I feel
Speaker 1: like if you don't have a different perspective when it
Speaker 1: comes to your life feeling like this, then you can
Speaker 1: just go into overwhelm. You can respond to situations in
Speaker 1: your life the same way you usually do, which then
Speaker 1: just creates a lot of stress and feeling like you're
Speaker 1: just not where you need to be or where you
Speaker 1: want to be in your life. And that's just no
Speaker 1: way to live life. And for me, there's been a
Speaker 1: lot of things that I've been happening in my life,
Speaker 1: not necessarily the worst things. I feel like Winter was
Speaker 1: way worse than how my life is right now, but
Speaker 1: there is a lot of things. For one, my life
Speaker 1: got so busy that I wasn't able to put out
Speaker 1: an episode, which is on a smaller scale for me.
Speaker 1: I just not like I actually freak out about that,
Speaker 1: But obviously it's not the best to not be on
Speaker 1: top of your work. I'm somebody who is very on
Speaker 1: top of my work. I also had to take THEO
Speaker 1: to the emergency vet last week. We had a little
Speaker 1: bit of a scare. But everything is fine. But we
Speaker 1: had that, and that through a big change in my
Speaker 1: schedule seriously, and on top of that just the stress
Speaker 1: that that can bring to a dog owner. I also
Speaker 1: just have so many projects that I'm working towards in
Speaker 1: my work life but also in my personal life.
Speaker 2: For me, I'm trying.
Speaker 1: To get my balcony sorted to have like a space
Speaker 1: for THEO, but also so that I can sit outside,
Speaker 1: and that just involves so many moving pieces. There's so
Speaker 1: many things around my place that I need to do,
Speaker 1: Like there's a million things that I feel like are
Speaker 1: all like unfinished things that I'm trying to get done.
Speaker 1: I also have some things that push me out of
Speaker 1: my comfort zone, which also makes me feel like life
Speaker 1: is a little bit chaotic. For instance, what I'm actually
Speaker 1: doing after I record this podcast episode is I'm going
Speaker 1: to be working with a brand and I have to
Speaker 1: go to the site to film, and I'm somebody who
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily enjoy feeling myself in public, like it's not
Speaker 1: the best feeling in a way, but I also just
Speaker 1: haven't had that much experience doing it. So when I
Speaker 1: have to do something that's going to require me to
Speaker 1: get out of my comfort zone, I do feel a
Speaker 1: little bit overwhelmed, like ugh, you know, like life is
Speaker 1: just a little chaotic. So the other day I kind
Speaker 1: of had a perspective shift, and this was because I
Speaker 1: was starting to feel overwhelmed by life and all of
Speaker 1: these things that were happening to the point where it
Speaker 1: was making me feel not satisfied, unhappy, like overwhelmed, like
Speaker 1: I said, just very like life is lifing and chaotic,
Speaker 1: and when I feel overwhelmed, I kind of have to
Speaker 1: have like this come to Jesus, like real talk with myself,
Speaker 1: Like listen, girl, we need to strap in and we
Speaker 1: need to ride this way because this is really what
Speaker 1: life is about. So I want to talk about some
Speaker 1: of the things that I I've had to remind myself
Speaker 1: of and things that I tell myself when I am
Speaker 1: feeling like life is like this, and hopefully it can
Speaker 1: help you if you feel stressed, overwhelmed, like you're not
Speaker 1: hitting your goals, like things aren't happening fast enough. This
Speaker 1: advice could really apply to all stages of life. So
Speaker 1: let's first talk about the pressure to have it all together.
Speaker 1: This is mainly why we always feel like life is
Speaker 1: unfinished and then we get overwhelmed and stressed because there's
Speaker 1: a many things that might be moving and changing or not.
Speaker 2: Complete yet in our lives.
Speaker 1: Because we have this expectation that life is supposed to
Speaker 1: be all together all the time and everything is finished
Speaker 1: and complete, and that is such a myth that we
Speaker 1: need to break, like thinking that there's just this one
Speaker 1: day where everything will.
Speaker 2: Be so aligned. And let me say this, there is
Speaker 2: gonna be many days of your life where you do
Speaker 2: feel like you got it all together, you got.
Speaker 1: All your things done in the day, or maybe there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of like you know, feel going to
Speaker 1: the vet during the week, or a brand deal that's
Speaker 1: pushing me into my comfort zone, like maybe I have
Speaker 1: a chill week and that feels like pretty complete, But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, there's always going to
Speaker 1: be things happening and moving in your life, So why
Speaker 1: are we holding on to this false sense of control?
Speaker 1: And So what I like to tell myself when I
Speaker 1: feel I'm getting overwhelmed with life is that it's okay
Speaker 1: that life is feeling a little unfinished. And if everything
Speaker 1: was finished, then what would we be even doing. There'd
Speaker 1: be nothing to look forward to, there'd be nothing to accomplish.
Speaker 1: But regardless, let's try not to strive for always having
Speaker 1: everything absolutely finished, one hundred percent perfect, done, done, done, undone. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course we want to accomplish goals and be productive
Speaker 1: and obviously complete things, but I think we just need
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more comfortable with the fact
Speaker 1: that not everything will be complete, and to relax because
Speaker 1: when we're in a relaxed state, when we're not stressing
Speaker 1: so much, it gives us the capacity too. Sorry, if
Speaker 1: you're watching on YouTube, THEO is just he's just.
Speaker 2: Having some zummies right now.
Speaker 1: But when we are more relaxed, we have more capacity
Speaker 1: to focus in and get things done. And then of
Speaker 1: course we're going to complete the thing that was overwhelming
Speaker 1: us in the first place.
Speaker 2: But we can't really take the.
Speaker 1: Action we need to when we're constantly just so caught
Speaker 1: up in the messiness of the thing that we are
Speaker 1: stressing about. The next thing that I realized that I
Speaker 1: was doing was losing my practice of gratitude through the chaos.
Speaker 1: And I know sometimes it can be hard to have
Speaker 1: gratitude or see the wisdom and the beauty and the
Speaker 1: messiness of your life, but I do think it's really
Speaker 1: important to do this for many reasons, but one reason
Speaker 1: being when you focus on the things that are going right,
Speaker 1: even within the chaos of your life or the situation,
Speaker 1: you're signaling to your nervous system that you are safe,
Speaker 1: which is so important because we want to feel safe.
Speaker 1: We want to feel grounded so that we can stay
Speaker 1: clear minded so that we can move through this chaos
Speaker 1: in the least chaotic way possible. So I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: a few examples of some of the things that I
Speaker 1: said that I was going through.
Speaker 2: For one, with the vet situation.
Speaker 1: Obviously that was more of the like high triggered situation
Speaker 1: that I was going through, So I just allowed myself
Speaker 1: to take it moment by moment when it came to
Speaker 1: the stress of what was going on in that situation.
Speaker 1: But when my emotions were not so heightened, and I
Speaker 1: was at the vets and they were checking him out
Speaker 1: and things like that. I tried my best to focus
Speaker 1: on the things that were either going right or things
Speaker 1: were better than they were worse. And for me, there
Speaker 1: was a few things. For one, thank.
Speaker 2: God I had insurance. Thank god I got pet insurance.
Speaker 1: Because that bill was hefty when they're telling me because
Speaker 1: they needed to keep him overnight. By the way, he's fine,
Speaker 1: like actually, like he's so fine, but anyways, they just
Speaker 1: wanted to like monitor him, which made the VET bill
Speaker 1: really expensive. But I was still kind of stressing about
Speaker 1: the fact that, like, wow, it's expensive and this that,
Speaker 1: and that's not to deny the fact that I was
Speaker 1: feeling those things or that that was reality. But I
Speaker 1: also could lean on the fact that, well, at least
Speaker 1: I have insurance and I don't really have to pay
Speaker 1: a lot of money for this. Also the fact that
Speaker 1: he is going to be okay, so that's good, instead
Speaker 1: of focusing on the scare of the fact that he
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be okay. Again, this is very like
Speaker 1: heightened stress situation, So it's so understandable for you not
Speaker 1: be logical in some of these moments.
Speaker 2: But you know, even.
Speaker 1: After the stress has occurred or you're still moving through it,
Speaker 1: trying your best to move towards that kind of thinking. Now,
Speaker 1: when you are in a stressful situation, I guess maybe
Speaker 1: this will be a side note. You do need to
Speaker 1: focus on things like breath work or making sure that
Speaker 1: you're around a regulated nervous system, taking physical action to
Speaker 1: do things, not just trying to think yourself out of
Speaker 1: something stressful, because that's typically not the best way to
Speaker 1: deal with stress.
Speaker 2: But I digress.
Speaker 1: But something else I was thinking about when I was
Speaker 1: leaving the vet was how I really do need to
Speaker 1: recognize how this situation is much better than how it
Speaker 1: would be if it happened in the exact same way
Speaker 1: but when I was younger, And this is what I mean.
Speaker 1: For one, I have pet insurance, which was, you know,
Speaker 1: really helpful when it came to the financial and any
Speaker 1: of the other money that I needed to like actually spend.
Speaker 1: I have the means, so that's first and foremost amazing.
Speaker 1: That can definitely help de escalate a situation versus in
Speaker 1: the past, I either didn't have a lot of money
Speaker 1: or I would have to, you know, go into debt
Speaker 1: for something or I wouldn't have anyone to lean on.
Speaker 1: I also had my boyfriend there who really held me
Speaker 1: through so much of that, and I didn't have that
Speaker 1: sense of like calm nervous system, like someone showing up
Speaker 1: for me consistently, even when I was younger and we
Speaker 1: had stressful situations happen. Even when my mom was here,
Speaker 1: like she did the best that she could, but she
Speaker 1: was also a little dysregulated. She also wasn't showing up
Speaker 1: because of her addictions and things like that. So when
Speaker 1: stressful situations did happen, like I was kind of left
Speaker 1: to do everything myself, and that was very stressful.
Speaker 2: But the situation that.
Speaker 1: Was happening now was so much easier year and so
Speaker 1: much more supportive. And of course I'm still going to
Speaker 1: feel that visceral response of wanting to go into the
Speaker 1: fight or flight, because that's essentially trauma, right like me
Speaker 1: being in a stressful situation. It's just reminding me of
Speaker 1: how it used to be in the past. But I'm
Speaker 1: trying to remind myself the ways that I am safe now.
Speaker 1: And so if you're in a situation where you know
Speaker 1: you are in a heightened situation. Maybe you don't have
Speaker 1: the life that is completely different than how it has
Speaker 1: been when it comes to dealing with stressal situations. But
Speaker 1: even when I was younger and I was going through
Speaker 1: hard times, I always try to find the light through
Speaker 1: that the Okay, well, you know what, at least it's
Speaker 1: not like this, or you know, at least I still
Speaker 1: have this part of my health, or at least I
Speaker 1: found this doctor who might give me an answer, or
Speaker 1: maybe I have this friend that I can lean on.
Speaker 1: And maybe I don't have the parents or the money
Speaker 1: or whatever, but I'm still going to figure out this way,
Speaker 1: like whatever it is, just continuing to see the ways
Speaker 1: that I I am safe. And when it comes to
Speaker 1: other things like the things that I need to do
Speaker 1: for my balcony and my apartment and all like the
Speaker 1: million other things that I need to do, and my
Speaker 1: boyfriend wants to help me with a bunch of things
Speaker 1: and this that sometimes I'm getting overwhelmed with the fact
Speaker 1: that like nothing's not nothing. I shouldn't say nothing, but
Speaker 1: some of these things are unfinished or like they haven't
Speaker 1: gotten done yet, and this that. But the other day
Speaker 1: I was thinking, am I not blessed to have a
Speaker 1: mind that thinks bigger than the life that I have
Speaker 1: right now and has goals and aspirations, like I should
Speaker 1: be grateful and blessed that I can dream and I
Speaker 1: have dreams and I want to do more for myself,
Speaker 1: or that I have a boyfriend who wants to do
Speaker 1: all of these things for me. And yes, some of
Speaker 1: these things are going to take time, but I should
Speaker 1: really be more blessed and grateful for the fact that
Speaker 1: I have things to work towards then to have a
Speaker 1: life that I don't have anything to work towards. Bringing
Speaker 1: it back to what I said before, if everything was
Speaker 1: finished and there's nothing to do, life would actually be
Speaker 1: pretty boring.
Speaker 2: Trust me, it would.
Speaker 1: Or when it comes to the brand deal situation, sometimes
Speaker 1: I can be so focused on the thing that makes
Speaker 1: me uncomfortable, But realistically, am I not blessed to have
Speaker 1: the job that I have and the opportunity that I have,
Speaker 1: like especially specifically for this brand, but anything to do
Speaker 1: with brand work, And realistically, this is a great problem
Speaker 1: to have, and I just think we need to do
Speaker 1: more of that. We get very caught up in the
Speaker 1: things in our everyday life that can either stress us
Speaker 1: out or we can look at it like, actually, I
Speaker 1: am blessed to have these problems. I remember seeing a
Speaker 1: TikTok where they were saying, how some people will complain
Speaker 1: when they get bloated, right, it's like the worst thing
Speaker 1: in the world and how uncomfortable it is, And that's
Speaker 1: very true. But in the example, they were saying how
Speaker 1: you should just be actually blessed that you have the
Speaker 1: problem of being bloated, because that means you had food,
Speaker 1: you had access to food, and probably a lot of it.
Speaker 1: And of course that's kind of like a whatever example.
Speaker 1: But there's so many situations that you can look at differently,
Speaker 1: and you need to when things are feeling chaoic, because
Speaker 1: the truth is, like you don't have all this control.
Speaker 1: You can't make the balcony situation go any faster. Alisia like,
Speaker 1: you have to take the steps and things need to
Speaker 1: build and things will come together when they do. I
Speaker 1: couldn't change the fact that we were having to go
Speaker 1: to the emergency vet, but I could change the way
Speaker 1: that I was looking at these things. But we are
Speaker 1: waiting for the day for things to change completely and
Speaker 1: then we're going to be at peace, and we're not
Speaker 1: going to be anxious. And I promise you for anyone
Speaker 1: who is anxiously attached or anxious in general, or really
Speaker 1: struggles with that control, I know I've been there and
Speaker 1: I still have to work on that. Do not wait
Speaker 1: for the thing to fully change and be perfect before
Speaker 1: you let yourself breathe. And I'm not going to say
Speaker 1: that I was fully okay and accepting of the vet
Speaker 1: situation when it was happening. No, I got relief when
Speaker 1: I got my puppy back at home and I could
Speaker 1: just breathe again. But I did the things I needed
Speaker 1: to do by changing my mindset, you know, also, like
Speaker 1: I said, when it comes to regulating nervous system, doing
Speaker 1: breath work, trying my best to sleep, and also like
Speaker 1: connecting with somebody who has a healthy, regulated nervous system
Speaker 1: and leaning on people right like you need that support.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I had to
Speaker 1: still go through the situation. But everything I did allowed
Speaker 1: me to deal with the messiness of life. And I
Speaker 1: actually wrote out here what if chaos isn't the problem?
Speaker 1: What if it's evidence that I'm alive, in motion and
Speaker 1: full of vision. Now, another thing I want to talk
Speaker 1: about is comfort zones. And I've really had to remind
Speaker 1: myself of this, especially lately, because there's been so much
Speaker 1: change in my life. And when change happens, usually you
Speaker 1: haven't experienced it or you're doing things for the first time,
Speaker 1: and that is going to create this sense of uneasiness.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're triggered, maybe you feel uncomfortable, but you need
Speaker 1: to just normalize the fact that things will feel uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: or even the fact that you get triggered sometimes maybe
Speaker 1: in relationship or life or whatever, and that is okay,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean that you are unsafe when it
Speaker 1: comes to relationships. And I will talk more about this
Speaker 1: like in an actual relationship episode.
Speaker 2: But who are triggered?
Speaker 1: Are such good information for you to learn more about
Speaker 1: yourself and to work on yourself and to go deeper
Speaker 1: in those things, not that oh my god, I'm triggered
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna act the same way I always do
Speaker 1: and this is bad and this is wrong, and not
Speaker 1: actually try and change anything different, Like no, like this
Speaker 1: is good information. Or when you're uncomfortable, just understand that, yes,
Speaker 1: of course I'm going to be uncomfortable. Life will call
Speaker 1: you to show up in a way that you are
Speaker 1: not even ready yet, but that doesn't mean you don't
Speaker 1: do it. And even when it comes to the brand
Speaker 1: deal thing, the place that I'm going to after this,
Speaker 1: I'm just reminding myself that it's okay that I feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: It's normal. I'm gonna feel uncomfortable. But also if I
Speaker 1: want to feel more comfortable with doing such thing, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to just try, and I'm going to need
Speaker 1: to do it feeling like it's not perfect, feeling like
Speaker 1: it's messy, feeling a little bit awkward until it doesn't.
Speaker 1: With everything that we try, it's like we expect that
Speaker 1: we're supposed to feel the best we've ever felt, and
Speaker 1: we're going to do it quickly and perfectly, and we're
Speaker 1: not going to feel awkward at all doing things for
Speaker 1: the first time. But that's not even how things work.
Speaker 1: For the majority of the time.
Speaker 2: The confidence that we end.
Speaker 1: Up building and gaining from things that we want to
Speaker 1: do in our lives happens through repetition and happens by
Speaker 1: you starting and doing it messy. And I think about
Speaker 1: my podcast, I think about YouTube, I think about anything.
Speaker 1: When I started talking on camera, even I'm so much
Speaker 1: more comfortable talking on camera now than I did in
Speaker 1: the past, but that took time and effort. It took
Speaker 1: me showing up. And now when I want to record
Speaker 1: more content in public, there's going to be that uncomfortable feeling.
Speaker 1: But pushing past that and knowing it will go away
Speaker 1: if I keep doing it, that is going to help
Speaker 1: me deal with the fact that this is life and
Speaker 1: this is how it feels sometimes. And I found an
Speaker 1: Instagram quote and it said, give yourself grace while you
Speaker 1: organize your life at this level. Your life has never
Speaker 1: been this complex before. Keep going now. The last thing
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is something.
Speaker 2: That I really just had a.
Speaker 1: Full circle moment in an uber the other day, and
Speaker 1: it was this reminder that I need to tell myself
Speaker 1: and to you guys, and we know this on a
Speaker 1: soul level, but the only time that we have is now.
Speaker 1: And I was in this uber and I was just
Speaker 1: thinking of all the things that I had to do,
Speaker 1: and I was rhumed about some things and YadA YadA,
Speaker 1: and I was just thinking how this moment feels very
Speaker 1: comfortable for me. I could go in my head and
Speaker 1: stress about all these things, but realistically, right now I'm
Speaker 1: in this uber.
Speaker 2: I am safe. It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 1: I have freedom, I have so many good things happening
Speaker 1: in my life right now, and this could be the
Speaker 1: last day that I am feeling this good before something
Speaker 1: bad happens. And I hate to even say that, because like,
Speaker 1: who wants to even say that, But for the purposes
Speaker 1: of this episode, that night something could have happened or
Speaker 1: the next day, my life could have absolutely changed.
Speaker 2: And I think about all the.
Speaker 1: Days that I had before traumatic things happened to me
Speaker 1: or just crappy things happened, where it changes your life
Speaker 1: for maybe a day or a week or forever, like
Speaker 1: the day that I got the call that my mom
Speaker 1: passed away that completely altered everything. And I don't know
Speaker 1: how I was feeling the day before, but it just
Speaker 1: reminds me that I should really take in this moment
Speaker 1: right now, because the next moment might be completely different
Speaker 1: and it might.
Speaker 2: Be so altered.
Speaker 1: And I think you can even think about this on
Speaker 1: a smaller scale when you get sick, right, you always
Speaker 1: think about the days when you weren't sick, Like you
Speaker 1: think about like, damn, like I should have just I
Speaker 1: should have just really like capitalized on those days over there,
Speaker 1: because now I'm sick in bed and I gotta wait
Speaker 1: it out, things like that. And I was just thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, I could really ruin this moment and take
Speaker 1: myself out of this present moment by focusing on all
Speaker 1: the unfinished things, how life is chaotic and messy, and
Speaker 1: how it can be stressful and hard, and those things
Speaker 1: are all true, but also it could be way worse,
Speaker 1: and my life could change completely in three seconds for
Speaker 1: the worst. And so what I'm gonna do right now
Speaker 1: is focus on the things that I can control. I'm
Speaker 1: going to change the way that I'm viewing a lot
Speaker 1: of these things anyways, so I can lower my own
Speaker 1: stress in my own brain and also just embrace the
Speaker 1: fact that life is like this. Life is messy, life
Speaker 1: is unfinished. Things are always ebbing and flowing, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: If we can get better at that, we will have
Speaker 1: a better quality of a life. And I found a
Speaker 1: Pinches quote that I really really loved, and I think
Speaker 1: we all needed to hear it, and it says, have
Speaker 1: fun this summer, because there's a version of you in
Speaker 1: thirty years that is begging to relive summer twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: that is begging to be your age again. That is
Speaker 1: begging to feel what you feel now. That is begging
Speaker 1: to experience what you get to experience now. That is
Speaker 1: begging to have the people that are in your life
Speaker 1: right now. So be more in the present, Be so
Speaker 1: in the moment that you forget to check your phone,
Speaker 1: connect more with the people around you, tell them how
Speaker 1: you feel, smile a lot, laugh, say yes more, or
Speaker 1: don't take it so seriously. And it doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be big. You can have fun in a little mundane
Speaker 1: moments where you're just in the moment, talking and connecting
Speaker 1: and making a memory that a future version of you
Speaker 1: will miss. And I'm not somebody who thinks like this
Speaker 1: all the time because I feel like it's a little cynical,
Speaker 1: but it is true. Even the best things in life
Speaker 1: are not going to last.
Speaker 2: So let's hold on to the.
Speaker 1: Good things that we do have or the things that
Speaker 1: are going well, because life can get a lot worse
Speaker 1: and your health can change, or you could lose people
Speaker 1: in your life and things could just be way worse
Speaker 1: than they are now. And I try and remind myself
Speaker 1: that when I am letting things take over this present
Speaker 1: moment and making me stress at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: And I think that when we live in like a first.
Speaker 1: World country, I mean not everyone, Like some people live
Speaker 1: like literally across the world who are listening to this
Speaker 1: podcast and maybe have a completely different quality of life.
Speaker 2: But I think we just.
Speaker 1: Forget how good life actually is right now. Maybe you
Speaker 1: don't love your job, or maybe your family situation is
Speaker 1: what it is, but you know what, like it's probably
Speaker 1: better than a lot of other people's situations, and at
Speaker 1: least you have a job that's paying your bills, and
Speaker 1: at least you have your health right now, and you
Speaker 1: can do more and you can be better whatever it is.
Speaker 1: Obviously everyone's situation is different. But in my life, I've
Speaker 1: always just tried to do that and the hardest times
Speaker 1: I remember when I had nerve pain in my hands,
Speaker 1: and I talk about it in my book The Ultimate
Speaker 1: Globe Guide, where I just was so grateful that I
Speaker 1: was finding information on how to heal that I no
Speaker 1: longer focus so much of my attention on the fact
Speaker 1: that my hands were hurting, because I just knew that
Speaker 1: that was keeping me stuck and keeping me sick. And
Speaker 1: when I focused more on the things that were going
Speaker 1: well and the things that I could do, which was
Speaker 1: I could get up and I can go for long
Speaker 1: walks instead of use my hands to do workouts. Right now,
Speaker 1: I really wanted to do dumbbell workouts and you know,
Speaker 1: do my push ups and do all these things.
Speaker 2: But I couldn't do that.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't going to cry about it every single day.
Speaker 1: I was going to be so grateful for the fact
Speaker 1: that my legs work and I could go outside and
Speaker 1: I can go listen to a podcast.
Speaker 2: Thank god I have good hearing. Thank God I have sight.
Speaker 1: Thank God I have a friend that I could go to.
Speaker 1: Thank God I have my dog who is very healthy.
Speaker 1: Thank God I have the job that I have, or
Speaker 1: the opportunities that I have that are endless. The generation
Speaker 1: that we live in, the access to information that we
Speaker 1: have that our parents didn't.
Speaker 2: We have so much to be grateful.
Speaker 1: For, and we just need to remind ourselves that when
Speaker 1: we are stressing about a lot of things that don't
Speaker 1: even need to be stressed about, because this is life,
Speaker 1: it's going to feel unfinished sometimes. So with that said,
Speaker 1: I hope this helped ease anything that you might be,
Speaker 1: you know, struggling with just a quick reminder we are good,
Speaker 1: we are safe, and we can do this. And of course,
Speaker 1: if you're going through any sort of heightened stressful situation,
Speaker 1: always remind yourself that you can't just necessarily talk yourself
Speaker 1: out of a stressful situation, right, It depends. So for me,
Speaker 1: I like to do some breath work. I like to
Speaker 1: sleep with gouid and meditations. If I'm really stressed or
Speaker 1: I'm overthinking, I like to make sure I'm connecting with
Speaker 1: people and leaning on people if I can.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to do everything my own.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to talk myself out of real situations
Speaker 1: that might be happening in my life. I'm taking it
Speaker 1: day by day, moment by moment. I'm giving myself grace
Speaker 1: and love and doing the best that I can in
Speaker 1: any situation. So I just wanted to say that. But
