00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,039
Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the

2
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:19,079
Hawkerel Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is

00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,839
your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,199
a new mindset, and another day for you to become

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,480
the howgral energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,

6
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:32,079
Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. I am beyond

7
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:36,000
happy going into today because the sun is shining, it's

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,359
eleven degrees, the snow is melting. Hearing that snow melt

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,479
brings me so much joy, so much excitement, And I

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,479
think we're all ready for a new season, Like I

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,560
am so ready to take on spring. I think March

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,560
just appearing has helped a lot of people, especially me,

13
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:57,759
included with knowing that we're days away from spring, We're

14
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:01,119
days away from summer. Were day away from just the

15
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:04,400
warmer weather and the better vibes. And I think it's

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,560
just usually the hardest two months in the beginning of

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,599
the year. January and February are always long and gloomy

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,040
and just I don't know, we're never feeling ourself. And

19
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:15,959
I feel like as soon as March it, I'm like,

20
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:18,799
oh my good Seasonal Trussian is finally leaving my body.

21
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:22,519
I'm finally feeling alive again. I feel like I'm inspired again.

22
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:26,760
I'm just feeling so much better already going into March,

23
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:29,000
and I'm sure a lot of you could probably feel

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
the same way. I wanted to make this episode all

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,879
about spring, of course, because we're entering a new season

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,359
this month. The excitement around spring obviously is on everyone's mind,

27
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:40,560
and I thought we could kind of talk about things

28
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:44,319
that I'm doing personally to kind of change up into

29
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:46,879
my day to day life. So just like habits that

30
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:49,840
I'm taking into this new month ahead, as well as

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,920
goals that I have for myself this month, and by

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,239
chatting about the habits and goals that I set this month,

33
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,599
we'll hopefully inspire you to set new goals and habits

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480
for yourself going into a new month and a new season.

35
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,079
And I also just want to talk about things that

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,519
I'm looking forward to this month, like things that we

37
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,239
have coming up and things that we can all get

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,879
excited about when it comes to spring. So I thought

39
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:11,560
it'd be the perfect time to kind of just chat

40
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,159
about things that I'm looking forward to before we get

41
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,800
into this episode. I always love to do a little

42
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,800
weekly catch up, and I feel like I haven't done

43
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:20,520
a little catch up in a while. But back update

44
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:22,879
because in the last episode I was talking a lot

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,879
about my injury and how I'm trying to become the

46
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,520
better version of myself again. And I have to say

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,680
that making the adjustments that I've made in my routine

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,960
within the last week or two has dramatically made a

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,759
huge difference in my pain and I'm feeling so much better.

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,319
I'm actually doing a lot of different things that I'm

51
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:44,199
actually going to chat about with things that I'm taking

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,800
into this month that I'm going to try and do

53
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:48,280
on a regular basis update on it all. I went

54
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,680
to my physio appointment on Monday. I got cleared to

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,719
get back into workouts gradually. I have not been cleared

56
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,080
to do Reformer. She is very concerned. She as in

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,759
my physio is that Reformer Plates is kind of what

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,560
triggered it to get to the point that it was,

59
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,439
which was obviously getting worse because of the type of

60
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:09,479
machine that you use on the Reformer. You know, if

61
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,800
you are a Reformer Plates girls, then you may know

62
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:14,719
that there are straps that you use to kind of

63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960
pull up your body weight use it for arm workouts,

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,719
et cetera. And the way my body was positioned was

65
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280
my shoulders were like super high, so it was creating

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,000
tension in the muscle in my back, which is what

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,560
kind of triggered it to get worse. So that's kind

68
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,759
of like why I'm staying away from Reformer, and she

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,680
has approved me to do like oxygen classes or weighted

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,120
workouts from home, So I'm going to do that for

71
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
the next month, again, taking it day by day, super slow,

72
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,759
not going to rush into it, but just kind of

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,080
see how my body feels. Today I did a twenty

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,680
minute full body workout with ten pound dumbbells and I

75
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,719
feel great. I feel good, I don't feel sore. I'm

76
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,479
obviously doing my stretches and my strengthening workouts that she

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,360
gave me as well. So all in all, just an

78
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:00,240
update on my injury and feeling really really good, just

79
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,960
because I know a lot of you actually either commented

80
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:06,080
or messaged me about maybe an injury that you're going through,

81
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:08,560
and that it was really reassuring to hear that I'm

82
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:11,759
currently going through something similar. So just know that you're

83
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:14,199
not alone and that we're in this together, and that

84
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,720
it's okay if you're in a rough spot right now.

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,319
We're all trying to stay positive here and kind of

86
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:23,480
get through this injury phase that I'm currently going through.

87
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,879
And then my last little update for my weekly catchup

88
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,120
is my new house. We have windows, guys, we have

89
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:32,360
windows installed. They're starting to put the electrical in the

90
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,319
house right now, which I'm sure you can assume that

91
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:37,079
Zach is like so on it right now, like he

92
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,800
wants to go visit the house all the time just

93
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,079
to make sure that the electrical is all done correctly

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,519
and in the right spots because my husband's an electricians,

95
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,079
so he's very like, I don't know, wanting to be

96
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,959
on top of it. And it sucks because we don't

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,439
technically own the full house right now, if that makes sense,

98
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Like because we bought with a new builder, they technically

99
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,199
own the house right now, not a so I haven't

100
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,560
been filming that much content for that race. Like I

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,639
usually get approved when I can go film content at

102
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:06,000
the new place, and they let me like kind of

103
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,199
go in and film a few clips and whatever the

104
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:09,800
case may be. So that's kind of why I can't

105
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,560
like constantly film updates and all that trust me. I

106
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,199
wish I could, but they all know that I'm on

107
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,160
social media, they all know that I'm an influencer, so

108
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,319
I'm just concerned that if I go too much and

109
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:23,040
share too much that they could penalize me. So I'm

110
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,600
just trying to stick to the rules and just get

111
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,079
them to give me permission when I can record. So

112
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,600
we do have a meeting coming up in a few weeks,

113
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,560
which is very exciting because I really want to film

114
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,040
a kind of like a walk through of the house

115
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:37,079
before they dry wallet, which is soon They're about to

116
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,199
dry all the house, which is absolutely crazy to me

117
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,720
how fast it's going by and this whole process. But

118
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:44,600
it's very exciting and I'm like so eager to get

119
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:46,319
in there and just share more content with you guys,

120
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:48,199
because I love that type of stuff. I love watching

121
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,160
house content. I find it so exciting. But a lot

122
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,600
of the time, for the girls that are filming a

123
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:53,519
lot of house content on their social media, it's probably

124
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:56,279
because they're renovating and own the house like solely themselves,

125
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920
so they can obviously be in the house because they

126
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,079
own the property, Whereas for me, I'm like an owner

127
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800
of the property, but like it's not officially closed until

128
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,800
my closing date, if that makes sense. So we're slowly

129
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,560
but surely sharing content and getting excited about the new house.

130
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,519
And yeah, I cannot wait to share more details with

131
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,480
you guys on that. Anyways, that's my little catchup and

132
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:20,040
just wanted to give you guys some updates on where

133
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,680
things are at. But let's get into this spring episode.

134
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:25,959
I really want to talk about things that we're leaving

135
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,240
behind in February and what we're taking into March and

136
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,920
this new season ahead. Okay, so let's go in with

137
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,680
the mindset of we're out with the old and we're

138
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,360
in with the new, Like we are going into a

139
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:39,639
new season. We want that positive energy, we want that

140
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:44,079
positive mindset. We're so over the winter blues, the negative

141
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:46,519
mindset that you may have had. I was one hundred

142
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,879
percent negative throughout the entire winter. I'm going to be

143
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:52,720
fully transparent. I really kind of did that to myself.

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,519
But also with me dealing with an injury, it was

145
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,079
hard to kind of like mentally be you know, stable,

146
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,480
sense of obviously I was stable, but you know what

147
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:04,680
I mean, Like I just wasn't being my positive old self,

148
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,040
and I had a really hard time, finding inspiration and

149
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,439
just like wanting to put myself out there through my job.

150
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,360
And that's really tough right when you're going through that,

151
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:14,240
and then you also have a job where you need to,

152
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:16,879
you know, be on camera all the time and show yourself,

153
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:18,839
and like you're not in the mental state of like

154
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:22,079
wanting to be your typical self that you usually are.

155
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:25,920
It's hard. It's very, very hard. So going into this month,

156
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:30,800
I'm really trying to embrace that new spring energy that

157
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:33,480
I want for myself, that positive energy that I want

158
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,680
for myself. Thinking about a new season makes me think

159
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,439
of again, new energy, new everything, Like everything just feels exciting,

160
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,879
it feels new. It makes me feel like I'm starting fresh,

161
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,120
and so I want to talk about things that I'm

162
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,079
bringing into March. So obviously that's kind of what I'm

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,680
leaving behind. I'm leaving behind that negative energy that I

164
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,040
didn't want for myself. I'm going in with the mindset

165
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,639
into this month that I want to have a positive mindset.

166
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:00,160
I want to go in with the intention of of

167
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:03,319
feeling fresh, feeling new again with a new season. So

168
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,639
I decided to set five goals slash habits for myself

169
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,639
going into this new month. First one being is taking

170
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,519
more breaks when it comes to work and workouts, almost

171
00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:20,879
like realizing that it's okay to stop and put yourself

172
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,680
first and not make work or other things the main priority.

173
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,480
And I think that's hard for people who might be

174
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,200
like me, where they're very, very heavily involved with their

175
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:34,600
job and really love what they do, Like I truly

176
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:37,039
could do my job all day, all night, Like I

177
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:40,200
just I love what I do, right, And so when

178
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,360
you're in that position of when you want to work

179
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:45,720
all the time, you forget that, oh, I should probably

180
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:48,480
take a twenty five minute lunch break to myself, like

181
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:51,559
go make some lunch, go have some chill time, just

182
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,200
kind of like separate yourself from your phone or from

183
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,799
your computer or whatever you do for your work. And

184
00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:00,519
I think people realize how important the breaks are and

185
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,000
that it can actually harm us if we're not slowing

186
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:08,279
down and realizing how important it is to do those breaks.

187
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:10,440
So one thing for me that I've actually included into

188
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,200
my routine is I set a sixty minute timer. So

189
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,759
I'll put a sixty minute timer on and once that

190
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:18,960
timer goes off, I get up. I either go for

191
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600
a walk or I go downstairs, I put on a

192
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,360
twenty minute YouTube video and I get some cleaning around

193
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,759
the house done, or just kind of like organizing the house,

194
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:29,320
or I make myself lunch, like you know what I mean,

195
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:31,559
just kind of like taking that twenty minutes to myself

196
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:34,759
and doing something that doesn't involve sitting and staring at

197
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:37,159
a screen or just kind of doing nothing at all.

198
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,159
One thing that my physio kind of told me that

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,039
she wants me to do more is stand up more.

200
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,440
And so that's why I bring up like leaving your desk,

201
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,440
getting up, walking, doing something that involves not just sitting around.

202
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:51,559
But I did actually purchase myself a standing desk, so

203
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,519
I have a mini standing desk that I just put

204
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,919
beside my office desk. That way I can kind of

205
00:09:57,159 --> 00:09:59,720
change spots. So if I'm like really dialed in with work,

206
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:02,000
and if you're someone that works from home like me

207
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,960
or has an office job, the standing desk is incredible.

208
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,919
Like I used it all day today and I love

209
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,279
being able to flip flop kind of like you know,

210
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,120
be at my computer, get work done, and then I

211
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:16,279
have my laptop on my standing desk and all my

212
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,200
work is actually synced on my laptop and on my

213
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:21,720
iMac that's all on the cloud, so I don't have

214
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:24,720
to stress about like making sure things are transferred over

215
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,320
to my laptop. Like everything's the same. So if I'm

216
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,679
working on something on my computer, I can easily just

217
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,320
pull it up on my laptop and get it done

218
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,159
at the standing desk. So I've made it a huge

219
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:37,039
priority to kind of take breaks and listen to my

220
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,960
body and not overdo it. And that also comes into

221
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,279
my workouts. So I used to be a huge workout girl,

222
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,919
as you guys know, like five times a week, maybe

223
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,279
six times a week, sometimes two workouts in a day.

224
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,720
I was really overdoing it this past summer, in this

225
00:10:51,759 --> 00:10:55,840
past year, and I'm realizing that now. Okay, I am

226
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:58,480
realizing it now. I probably shouldn't have done that to myself.

227
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:00,360
I think I was putting myself in a very harmful

228
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:03,759
situation without even realizing it and not listening to my body.

229
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,240
And again, I love workouts. It's my source of therapy.

230
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:07,759
I'm sure a lot of you guys probably feel the

231
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,600
same way. But I'm trying to find ways to dial

232
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:14,840
it back by not obviously overdoing it. I'm trying to

233
00:11:14,879 --> 00:11:17,399
create a new schedule a new routine. Like everything is

234
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,080
very new to me right now. I'm completely changing everything

235
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320
that I typically would. I would never set a sixty

236
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,799
minute timer for myself. I would never take you know,

237
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:26,919
two to three breaks within the day. So again, I'm

238
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:29,000
really adjusting a lot of things, which is kind of

239
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:31,480
like a shock to the system, if that makes sense,

240
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:35,840
because you're having to like change everything, so it feels weird,

241
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,559
but like weird in a good way, if that makes sense. Like,

242
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,759
I know what I'm doing is for the right reasons,

243
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,279
and especially for me, who's someone that wants to, you know,

244
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:48,519
get pregnant, I really need to focus on dialing it

245
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,960
down and not overdo it because, you know, especially when

246
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,879
you're pregnant, Like I would love to work out while

247
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:56,240
I'm pregnant, but I also know that I can't be

248
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,240
working out like five to seven times a week, Like

249
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:02,360
that's just not the reality. So it's really just leaning

250
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:06,960
into the slower lifestyle and understanding that it's okay to

251
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,919
take breaks and that it's important to do so. And

252
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:11,840
you know, still working out three to four times a

253
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:14,960
week is amazing still, you know, taking those breaks for

254
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,480
yourself during your work days is important. So really just

255
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,440
kind of telling my body to slow down. This next

256
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,240
one also kind of goes into the slower lifestyle, and

257
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:28,320
that's working on calming my nervous system down. One thing

258
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,320
that my physio thinks is a big thing when it

259
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,240
came to my injury was my nervous system. And I

260
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,159
almost felt like that was an issue. Like I felt

261
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,039
like I knew that was a part of it, but

262
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,320
I didn't want to say that to myself without like

263
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:45,080
having someone else say it, if that makes sense. I

264
00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:47,480
knew that when I got overly stressed, I was getting pain.

265
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:52,399
I knew that, you know, probably being super tight from

266
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,039
the stress didn't help with the injury. So the injury

267
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,600
was already there from working out, but I think it

268
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,320
got worse from me, you know, having heightened stress and

269
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:03,120
my nervous system not being calm and me kind of

270
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,879
like constantly going one hundred miles per hour and not

271
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,679
realizing that I need to slow down and kind of

272
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,919
manage my you know, job more effectively, whatever the case

273
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,240
may be. So really trying to work on finding ways

274
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,399
to calm my nervous system down is a big goal

275
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,240
for me this month. So using asana more, going to

276
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,480
hot pilates more. I kind of had a bit of

277
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:23,600
a conversation about it in the last episode about how

278
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:26,240
oxygen made me feel so good, like going to an

279
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,120
oxygen class, which is a heated workout class, and how

280
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360
good I felt. So I want to keep doing that,

281
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,960
doing those heated workouts, maybe some hot yoga, you know.

282
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,360
I want to try and scroll less on my phone

283
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,960
and maybe read more. I've actually been debating on purchasing

284
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,679
the brick. I don't know if you guys have heard

285
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,759
of that. It's essentially a tool that allows you to

286
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,480
lock your phone, and it legitimately like puts your phone

287
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,799
in a brick mode, meaning like there's nothing you can do.

288
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,320
You can't even open it unless you like physically take

289
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,360
the brick off the phone. I think that's how it works.

290
00:13:57,399 --> 00:13:59,039
I don't have one, so correct me if I'm wrong,

291
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,759
but I just heard something with this brick basically locking

292
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:03,840
the entire phone for like a certain period of time.

293
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:07,120
So it's like, Okay, you're on brick mode for three hours.

294
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,360
You can't you know, scroll on your phone, you can't

295
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:11,720
send text messages, you can't answer any phone calls. It's

296
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:15,120
fully just like dull, like it doesn't do anything, which

297
00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:17,759
for me, I think would be really beneficial because even

298
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:19,679
when my phone's on, do not disturb. I do find

299
00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:23,000
it helps obviously not seeing notifications come through and not

300
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,279
feeling eager to open my phone, but like, regardless, I

301
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,480
open my phone because I want to scroll, or it's

302
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:29,600
because I want to look on my social media platforms

303
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,360
and see, like, okay, what's going on, Like should I

304
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:34,240
be posting a video today? Whatever the case we need,

305
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,360
but I need to focus on putting my phone to

306
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,720
the side, especially like on weekends, like enjoying more time

307
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,440
with my husband and not like aimlessly scrolling. I bought

308
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,960
a puzzle for my husband and I a few weeks ago,

309
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:49,720
and I'm gonna be honest, we still haven't done it yet, Okay,

310
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,799
but this is the perfect opportunity for me to say, hey,

311
00:14:52,919 --> 00:14:55,600
this is a perfect opportunity to not be on my phone,

312
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
not be watching TV and doing the puzzle. I think

313
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,559
that's a great sl activity, something to do together with

314
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,440
my husband. It's something that allows my mind to kind

315
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,519
of you know, work a little bit, but still adapting

316
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:12,799
that like calmer lifestyle, slower lifestyle. So yeah, I'm really

317
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:14,919
just trying to find ways to kind of calm my

318
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,799
nervous system down and really focus on destressing myself, and

319
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,200
by doing so, I really want to include those things

320
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,879
into my routine this month and really make it a

321
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,960
weekly non negotiable. Another goal that I have for March

322
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,919
and just Spring in general is getting out more and

323
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,360
being more social again. I want to see my friends again.

324
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:36,960
I want to be less of a homebody. I feel

325
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,159
like these past two months, I've literally locked myself up

326
00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:42,639
in this house and I've avoided going out for dinners.

327
00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:46,440
I've been avoiding, you know, people in general, and obviously

328
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,919
working from home to doesn't help. And for somebody who's

329
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,960
not going to work out classes, it's been very antisocial

330
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:56,799
and it's been very, very, very difficult. So my goal

331
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,080
this month is to make more plans with my friends,

332
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,519
doing friend days, you know, going outside for walks now

333
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:04,960
that it's actually nice out. You know, I'm going out

334
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,960
for dinner with my girlfriends tomorrow night, which I'm super

335
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,000
excited about. I'm going for a copy with my girlfriends

336
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,879
on Fridays. I'm making plans again. I'm getting out of

337
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:14,399
the house on the weekend. You know, Zach and I

338
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:20,080
are celebrating our anniversary, which is so exciting. We're celebrating

339
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,399
thirteen years, which is so crazy. So we're going out

340
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:25,159
for a nice dinner to celebrate our thirteen years together.

341
00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:29,559
And we're also babysitting our niece. Me and Zach. We've

342
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,120
never actually babysitter just him and I, so it's kind

343
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,799
of like a test with a baby, which is kind

344
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:36,799
of fun. I mean, she's two, so she's not fully

345
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,519
a baby anymore, but it's going to be fun to

346
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,519
just like watch for him and I and just kind

347
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:42,559
of like get a feel of what it's going to

348
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,039
be like for parenthood. And anyways, so again, very exciting

349
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,480
first week of March. I'm doing things again. I'm getting

350
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,480
out of the house. And if you're that kind of

351
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:54,399
person like me, where like you really did become a

352
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,399
homebody these past two months and you had a hard

353
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,039
time leaving the house and you know, the winter blues

354
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,080
really got to you. This is your sign to make

355
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,559
plans with a friend, make plans with anyone. Really, just

356
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,759
get yourself out of the house. And it could be

357
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:10,640
as simple as a coffee date. It could be you know,

358
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:13,440
going for a walk. Like literally the easiest things ever,

359
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:16,000
it does not have to be a big thing going

360
00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:18,400
out for dinner, as I said, like, it could also

361
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:20,200
be like they come to your house and you have

362
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:23,160
pizza together and wine and you have a super chill vibe.

363
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,759
And again, it's just more so seeing people socializing with

364
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:31,359
people I think is so so healthy and so great.

365
00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:33,279
I don't know, I just I miss it so much.

366
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:35,640
So I'm very excited to plan more friend dates this

367
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,960
month and just be social again. Another habit that I've

368
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,039
taken back into my non negotiables on a daily basis

369
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:46,960
is journaling again. I've been really leaning into my journaling again.

370
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,640
I kind of took a break, which I feel like

371
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,680
it's a very common thing for people who love to

372
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,799
use a planner or a journal. I feel like I

373
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:55,960
always like sometimes need the break of like stepping aside,

374
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,319
but then I always come back. I always always come

375
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,839
back because it's always something that I want to make

376
00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:03,680
a priority. I feel organized, I feel like I have

377
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,559
my shit together when I'm doing it. I love to

378
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:07,720
write out my thoughts. I love to remind myself what

379
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,960
I'm grateful for the things that I have, And I

380
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,359
don't know, it's just something that I find very therapeutic,

381
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,119
and I think I go through phases where I'm like

382
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,720
out of it and then I'm back in it. And

383
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,960
I think that's very normal to have that type of

384
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,319
wave of a relationship with the habits. So kind of

385
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,079
like if you're someone that you know might work out

386
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,920
constantly for a short period of time and then you

387
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,039
kind of take a really big break of not going

388
00:18:30,039 --> 00:18:32,519
to that specific WORKO class anymore, and then you realize, oh,

389
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:33,839
you know what, I actually miss it. I want to

390
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:35,200
get back into it. You get back into it, you

391
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,440
feel good. So it's just like a thing for me

392
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,680
that I keep coming back to. But sometimes it's okay

393
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,519
to take breaks for it. And that's with journaling. So

394
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,680
I'm getting back into it. I love it. I've been

395
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,839
also using it for my meal planning. I've been really

396
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,960
making meal planning a huge priority this month. I think

397
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,640
I talked about that in the last episode, but getting

398
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,599
back into healthy recipes, feeling inspired again of trying new

399
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,880
recipes out, you know, really just like locking in and

400
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,640
dialing in on e more food. And yeah, that's like

401
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:06,079
my biggest goal too for this month as well. And

402
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,799
then the last goal that I have taking into spring

403
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,319
and March is just kind of like updating my spring wardrobe,

404
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,079
finding more staple items that I want to include into

405
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,519
my wardrobe. I always think it's okay to kind of

406
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:24,039
like make modifications almost to your style or two things

407
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:26,440
that you have in your house. You know, I'm really

408
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:29,200
embracing the spring colors right now, which is what I

409
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,200
kind of wanted to talk about in the next part,

410
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,839
which is just like how colors make such a huge

411
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,839
impact in your mood. Like I was wearing yellow this weekend.

412
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,119
I found this yellow cardigan from H and M a

413
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,000
few weeks ago, and I haven't linked on my LTK

414
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,480
for anybody that wants to. It's currently sold out of

415
00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:46,440
the one that I have, but they have a quarter

416
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:48,960
zip of the exact same one, which is like a

417
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
half zip versus a full zip. And it's such a

418
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:55,119
beautiful color. But it makes me feel so good wearing

419
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,599
like bright fun colors again, like blue, yellow, pink, like

420
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:04,039
feel alive again. So sometimes it's okay to, yeah, just

421
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,000
like update your spring wardrobe if you feel the need

422
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,720
to do so, which brings me into the next topic

423
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,359
I wanted to talk about, which is things that I'm

424
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,519
looking forward to for the spring, so one of them

425
00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:18,079
being spring colors and being able to incorporate it into

426
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,880
either my wardrobe or my home decor. So as I said,

427
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,240
like I love yellow, I love baby blue, I love

428
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:28,160
baby pink. And for like home decor things, I actually

429
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,400
went to home Sense this past week. And that's also

430
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,400
something that I always love to do whenever it's a

431
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,160
new season, even if it's just like getting a few

432
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,359
little things like I got these really cute tea towels

433
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:43,559
for my kitchen. I got like this really nice green

434
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:46,799
and white print that I love. I got these beautiful

435
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,799
yellow mugs. I'm obsessed with them. They're the perfect tea

436
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,720
mug in my opinion. And again it's just like little

437
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,119
things that bring me excitement and joy. And I also

438
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,680
got these beautiful pink fake flowers, which looks so realistic

439
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,079
to me. Put them on my dining table with this

440
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,359
beautiful beige Stecco pot, and again, just like doing that

441
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,839
made me feel so good. It brought little joys into

442
00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:13,480
my home, brought some excitement, it brought some color into

443
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,240
the house, and yeah, I think that really helps getting

444
00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:19,440
out of the like that seasonal depression feeling like just

445
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,400
kind of doing those little things that brighten up the

446
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,920
home or breaking up the space, or again wearing fun colors.

447
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,359
It just kind of like makes you feel alive again.

448
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,559
And these are things that are romanticizing your life. Like

449
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:34,319
this is the perfect example of why people should romanticize

450
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,119
your life, is doing these little things that you know

451
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,400
people might say like, oh, yeah, if you buy this

452
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,039
and if you put this out on your counter, like

453
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:43,839
you'll feel good. Like I have to be honest, it's

454
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,839
the truth. Like doing those things like wearing spring colors,

455
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,400
embracing the spring season, romanticizing it, like, it does work

456
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,039
and it does lift your mood. Speaking for myself of

457
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:57,640
someone who was literally feeling awful the entire two months

458
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,640
of winter and now going into a new month and

459
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,559
feeling way more energized and feeling way more excited. I'm

460
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:06,079
putting in the effort by romanticizing my life by doing

461
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:07,640
those little things, and I feel like it just like

462
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,200
makes a huge difference. Other things I'm looking forward to

463
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,359
is going on outdoor walks again. Guys. I'm so excited.

464
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,480
I'm actually going to walk Friday right after I record

465
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,599
this episode for like forty minutes, and I'm so excited.

466
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,240
It's like ten degrees out today, which it has not

467
00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:24,319
been ten degrees and like I don't know how long,

468
00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:28,599
And I'm so excited to have the long outdoor walks again,

469
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:31,640
just seeing the snow melt, you know, the warmer days

470
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,240
are coming, and just like setting the mood with either

471
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,319
like making a nice coffee, listening to a podcast, or

472
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,200
you know, putting on your favorite playlist, like getting those

473
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:44,920
vibes again are going to be so healing. And I'm

474
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:49,000
so birking excited. As much as I love my walking pad,

475
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,079
she has done such wonders to me, honestly these past

476
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,160
few months with the winter season, and again, I will

477
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,039
still use it, you know, watching TV or reading or whatever, like,

478
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:00,960
I still love to use it and I will include

479
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,519
it into my routine every single day. But walking outside

480
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:06,319
again in the summer will be the best thing ever.

481
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,079
I'm literally so excited, and yeah, it's just so therapeutic.

482
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,240
Anything with flowers right now again brings me so much

483
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,640
joy and excitement. I just bought these fake flowers from

484
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,680
home sense that I love. But you could also get

485
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,799
into the habit of purchasing fresh flowers like tulips, and

486
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:25,440
this could be like a bi weekly thing. Zach got

487
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,960
me flowers the other day, which was very kind of him,

488
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,640
and it just feels really nice to have some fresh

489
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,960
flowers in the house. So especially during the time of

490
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,079
the year in the summer, I just feel like I

491
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,160
always make the effort of like purchasing some bouquets the

492
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,440
odd time and putting it in the house, and it

493
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,799
just feels really nice. And again that fresh feeling, that

494
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,920
new feeling, that excitement of going into the warmer days

495
00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:52,359
is just always so exciting. Doing a bit of a

496
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,279
spring clean or organizing also feels really good during this

497
00:23:56,319 --> 00:23:59,720
time of the year. I am actually doing a big

498
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,440
bring cleaning starting this weekend. So Zach and I actually

499
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
rented a storage unit for the move of our new house.

500
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,880
We're starting to buy furniture and buy things for the

501
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,880
new place, which is so exciting, but we have nowhere

502
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,240
to store it, so we needed to rent a storage

503
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:21,599
unit for the time being so we can start putting

504
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,960
the new stuff in there. And we're going to also

505
00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:28,720
go through the house and start storing stuff in storing bin,

506
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,000
so almost kind of like prepping for a move, but

507
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:33,960
also kind of cleaning things out and things that we're

508
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,680
not using currently or things like that we would typically

509
00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:39,240
use like in the colder winter days that we're not

510
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,480
needing right now, we can start packing it up and

511
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:43,359
start putting it in the storage room and just kind

512
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,920
of get it out of the house. So it's going

513
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,960
to feel really good just to kind of like deep

514
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,880
clean and organize each space of the house. And also

515
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,440
I plan on organizing my closet. I usually do kind

516
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,319
of like a closet inventory for each season. So with

517
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,359
it being spring and we're getting near the end of winter,

518
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,119
you know, typically all bring out my like lighter and

519
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,359
warmer clothes, things that I would you know, typically wear,

520
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,759
like my trench coats, my lighter jackets, and then like

521
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:10,039
all my heavier ones I can kind of like put

522
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:13,119
to the side or store it not needing it obviously

523
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,000
with the warmer weather coming. So I do always love

524
00:25:16,079 --> 00:25:18,960
to do a bit of a like a reevaluation of

525
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,519
my closet and making sure that the things that I

526
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:24,759
would actually wear for this type of weather I can

527
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,759
adjust and then figure out, Okay, what do I need.

528
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:30,599
Do I need more t shirts, do I need more basics,

529
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,440
more jackets, whatever the case av So it's kind of

530
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,559
a good way to also see like what you need

531
00:25:35,559 --> 00:25:37,400
to purchase and what you don't need to purchase. It's

532
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,599
actually saving you money in a way, so or it's

533
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,359
making you spend more money, one of the two. But

534
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,640
it does feel really good just to kind of like

535
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,240
do a bit of a spring clean going into the

536
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:51,000
spring season. I'm also very much looking forward to opening

537
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:54,799
the sun roof again, going on sunset drives, you know,

538
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,640
listening to music this again is very therapeutic to me.

539
00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:00,759
And also the fact that the sun is rising at

540
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:03,839
seven am. Guys, can we talk about that for a second.

541
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,759
That has probably been the most healing experience is waking

542
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,519
up at like six thirty. You know, it's still a

543
00:26:09,519 --> 00:26:11,839
little dark. But then like literally as soon as I

544
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,279
open my windows by like six forty five, six fifty,

545
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:16,880
I'm like, oh my god, the sun. The sun is

546
00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:19,880
rising by seven o'clock. When I'm downstairs in my kitchen,

547
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:24,720
everything is bright, Everything is not dark. It doesn't feel gloomy.

548
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,200
So the fact that the sun is rising at seven

549
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,400
am is amazing, and that the sun is now setting

550
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,720
at like what six six thirty, Like wow, wow, wow, wow,

551
00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:36,680
that to me just brings me so much joy. Is

552
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,680
not feeling like I'm in a dark, gloomy house anymore.

553
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,079
Like the fact that I'm cooking dinner and it's still

554
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,079
light outside is music to my ears and it does

555
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,079
feel really really good. But those are things that I'm

556
00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:50,559
looking forward to. I am very very excited for spring,

557
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:52,880
and I would love if you left to comment down

558
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,599
below of what you're looking forward to this season or

559
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,759
things that just bring you joy during this time of

560
00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:00,920
the year. I think we're all ready to take on

561
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,519
a new season and we're really starting to see the

562
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:05,960
excitement out of it. And I think we're all starting

563
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,799
to get out of our seasonal depression and we're just

564
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,720
feeling alive again, which is so so exciting. And then

565
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:13,480
the last two things that I wanted to talk about

566
00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:15,640
about things that I'm looking forward to is kind of

567
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,759
specific for me personally, But Zach is turning thirty this month,

568
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,119
which is very exciting thirtieth birthday. And guys, I actually

569
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,519
have a whole trip that I'm surprising him with, just

570
00:27:27,559 --> 00:27:30,440
a little weekend trip, nothing crazy. He has no idea

571
00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:32,200
that this is happening, so I really hope he's not

572
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,640
listening to this episode because he doesn't even know that

573
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,839
I literally had to contact his boss take time off

574
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,880
for him. You know, I purchased flight tickets like everything,

575
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,720
Like he has no idea this is happening at all.

576
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,400
Like I fully just like went in with like, you know,

577
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,400
girl boss mode, like let's just get this guy having

578
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,359
the best, you know, thirtieth. And he really did not

579
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,240
want to party. I was going to throw him a party,

580
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:57,599
a surprise party, but he's like, Nope, I don't want that.

581
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,640
I was like, Okay, that's fine, I will still do something.

582
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,480
He's like, oh, don't do anything. He's that kind of

583
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,160
guy where he's like, I'm not a birthday guy, like,

584
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:06,000
please don't make it a big deal. And I'm like,

585
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,160
it's your freakin thirtieth. I'm making it a big deal.

586
00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:11,720
I'm making this like my top priority this month. So

587
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,240
I booked a little vacation with him. So I'm very

588
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,200
excited to surprise him with that. And that's something I'm

589
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,720
very much looking forward to. I'm looking forward to celebrating

590
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:24,319
our thirteen years, which is so wild. That's something I'm

591
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,160
looking forward to this month. And then yeah, that's kind

592
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,519
of it, like just focusing on that, and next month

593
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,000
is my thirtieth which is so wild. Guys, thirty, I'm

594
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,319
gonna be thirty. That is so wild. I can't believe that.

595
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,559
But anyways, lots of excitement and things to look forward to,

596
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:46,079
but I think I'm gonna end this episode off here.
