  SPEAKER_00: Welcome, welcome back to the sweet spot.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: You're listening to Dr.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: Derek Sweet, I'm your board certified psychiatrist, and you know that's all good.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: What I really am is your partner on this journey we call life.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: And it's been my pleasure over these past couple of years to be talking to you on a daily basis.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: Do you realize we speak every single day?
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: That every day we have a message.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: This is Making Moves Monday, and this week is going to be super special.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: This week we're going to keep it short and sweet.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: No pun intended on the name Dr.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: Sweet, there.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: So people have been challenging me.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: They're like, Doc, you can't do nothing short.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: You can't give us a short message.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Your messages are always so long.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know why?
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Because I have a lot to say.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: This week on The Sweet Spot, we're gonna keep it much shorter for you.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna take the challenge.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna give you the seven questions this week that can change your life.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Seven questions that can change your life.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Not because questions sound wise, but because sometimes the thing that moves your life, moves your life forward, isn't a new answer.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: We're always searching for answers.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: What if we should be searching for a better question?
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: A question that wakes you up, a question that makes you see yourself again, a question that brings you back into alignment, more so than looking for answers.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: And we're gonna do seven of them.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: And because it's Making Moves Monday, we're starting with one question, one intentional question, that your every move should be built on.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: And you know what that question is for Making Moves Monday?
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I now?
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I now?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: That's the question I want you to walk around with today, live with today, and move with today on Making Moves Monday.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you now?
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Take a deep breath and let it out.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I now?
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now let me tell you why that question matters.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: Because before you make a move, my friend, in your career, in your health, in your relationships, in your spiritual life, wherever you have to make it, you have to know your position.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: You have to know the ground under your feet.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Clarity isn't about judgment.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Clarity is about direction.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: And here's something most people don't realize.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: This where am I is actually in the ancient wisdom.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, you know here on the sweet spot, we're about science, soul, and success.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: And we always go to the ancient wisdom.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: So this question, this first of the seven questions we're asking, the where am I now question, yes, is anchored in the ancient wisdom.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Believe it or not, it's the first question God ever asked a human being.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: In the Garden, the Garden of Eden, God calls out to Adam, and what does he say?
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Adam, where are you?
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Not because he didn't know, it was because Adam didn't know where he was, what's going on.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the wisdom tucked inside of this question, my friend.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: God wasn't asking for location, He was inviting reflection.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: God was saying, face yourself, see yourself, tell the truth to yourself.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I?
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: Before God gave instruction, He asked a question.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: Before you give instructions, before you make your move today or making moves Monday, before you make an assumption, ask a question.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Be curious.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Before transformation, there was orientation.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: You have to know where you are.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why in Proverbs it says that the prudent, the wise, give thought to their steps.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: You've got to think before you step, not to freeze up, not to be too hesitant, but so that you could move with intention.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, here we're about the neuroscience too, not just the ancient wisdom.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: We spend time in the neuroscience.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: There's a part of your brain called the insula, I-N-S-U-L-A.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: The insula.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Your thought is going to see the prefrontal cortex.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: I know I beat that one into the ground, but today we're going a little bit sideways.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Today we're talking about the part of your brain called the insula.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Think of it as your internal dashboard.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's the part of your brain that tracks your emotional temperature, it tracks your energy, it tracks your stress.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's always looking at your state of readiness.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: The insula is your internal dashboard.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: And anytime you pause in life and you ask this question, Where am I now?
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: The insula lights up in the brain.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: And you know what will do?
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: It will help your mind settle, it will help your decisions sharpen.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: It will help your spirit center itself before you take the next step, before you make the next move, because you'd stopped to ask the question.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: And this is why today's question of the seven questions we're going to be dealing with this week sits at the front of the entire series.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to make moves, my friend, real moves, wise moves, sustainable moves, you don't start with speed.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: You don't start with your reflexes, you start with honesty.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: You start with awareness, with presence.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: So here's your check-in for today.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Just finish this sentence gently.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, I am.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: And then say whatever comes after that, whatever is true for you.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Locate yourself.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: This is where you are.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Tired?
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Strong?
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Happy?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Sad?
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Worn out, hopeful, still trying, grinding, healing, pissed off, angry, blessed.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you?
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter where you are, because God can work with anything as long as it's honest.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: As long as you're not hiding from it.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that's what Adam was doing, is hiding.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: I get it.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: And here's the encouragement I want to take, I want you to take with you today, right?
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: No matter where you are, are you stuck?
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: Are you in some kind of a situation?
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: You're not lost.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: You're not behind.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: You're just simply where you are.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: You are here.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: And here is enough for God to start something new.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Here is enough for a step.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: And a step is enough for you to have a shift.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Do you get that?
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: First, locate yourself.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: First, be honest about where you are and answer the divine call.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: And then make your move.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: This is making moves Monday.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: This is Dr.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Derek Sweet.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: I believe in you.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: I know you're gonna make the right move.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: I trust you for that.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Go for it.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Tomorrow, tomorrow's Take Action Tuesday, my friend.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna ask, we're gonna ask ourselves the next life question.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: What's really holding me back?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: And trust me, that one opens doors.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, if today helped you, share it with somebody who might need a gentle reset at the start of their week this week.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll meet you right back here tomorrow for our second question.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, walk around with where am I?
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I?
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you?
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Peace and love.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: This is Dr.

  SPEAKER_00: Bye bye.
