  SPEAKER_00: a note on taksu,
• 0:38

• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: a note on opposable thumbs,
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: a perspective dance with control,
• 0:44

• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: a perspective dance with confrontation,
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: a perspective dance with cheating,
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: a party of one,
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: a perspective dance with getting what we need,
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: a note on toxic people,
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: a note on quote-unquote life's not a race,
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: a note on talking about ourselves,
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: why we don't need to know why we feel what we feel,
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: a perspective dance with the word fragile,
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: and a brand new question for all of us to self-reflect,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: self-connect,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: and email me if you desire.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: SelfFriendshipPodcast at gmail.com.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: So my answer to last week's question of the week,
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: which was,
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: what is something you've taken responsibility for after the fact of the situation?
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: And how did you feel about doing so slash what was your intention in taking responsibility?
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I had a situation one time where I made a sudden decision to move out of a home
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: that I was originally intending to stay for longer term.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: For the record,
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: the decision itself was sudden,
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: but I did give proper advance notice to the other people who lived there.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: However, this sudden decision made the other people who lived in the home very unhappy with me.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: on my end,
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: I was pretty perplexed by the intense reaction that I received,
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: given the fact that I gave my proper notice.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: To me, it just seemed like they are not comfortable with change or feeling out of control.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: My analysis and interpretation of them does not mean shit,
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: but it does offer perspective to me in the situation,
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: which is what caused me to consider their feelings,
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: even though I did not agree with their feelings or care,
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: in the sense that I was still going to do what was best for me.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: They also were not willing to have an open and honest conversation to express themselves.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: So, nonetheless...
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: I took responsibility for my role in the situation.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: To answer the second part of this question,
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: how did I feel about taking this responsibility and what was my intention?
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I honestly felt hopeful and, like I said, confused.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Hopeful because I wanted to recreate the previously peaceful dynamic...
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: and confused because of what I just shared.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Their high emotional reaction to my personal decision with the appropriate amount
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: of notice seems irrational.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: I do not do well with irrational communication or behavior.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: So taking responsibility required setting aside my ego, my opinions.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're being ridiculous, but that's okay.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: I can think that and I can equally acknowledge that in their mind, I've caused a problem.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm done.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yay!
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: This was not the most fun to discuss, but I thought it would be helpful to someone out there.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: I have dealt with many housemate situations and dynamics in my 20s,
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: so if anyone needs any objective help on that specifically,
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: I am all ears.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Email me your answers, selffriendshippodcast at gmail.com.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a note on taksu.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: So,
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: an Indonesian friend of mine recently told me I have taksu,
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: which I found out was a massive compliment,
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: and it inspired me to teach you all what the term means because I believe through
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: the practice of self-friendship that we can all have taksu.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: So in Balinese culture, taksu is a form of charismatic presence or exceptional ability.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: And while it often has a spiritual and creative connotation,
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: it can also simply refer to a natural talent or captivating quality that you possess.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: So again,
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: through embracing,
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves,
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: I believe we naturally create taksu within ourselves and it will become more
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: present in our external relationships as well.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: And now a new affirmation.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: I inhale my expansion.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: I exhale my limitations.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: I suggest doing this if you're practicing some breathing exercises.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: It will help.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's impossible to not help, but that's just me.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, a note on opposable thumbs.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Our thumbs are opposable, meaning they're capable of opposition.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: The only time the thumb does oppose the rest of the hand is when it is in the best
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: interest of the hand or accomplishing whatever the given goal is of using the hand.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: So if our hand is society and every human can be a thumb,
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: then every human is capable of opposing society for the best interest of ourselves
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: and therefore society.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know what you think about that.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with control.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: If we consider control as redirection,
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: we can release the rigidity around the concept of control and create space for
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: exerting efforts toward influencing or guiding an outcome that allows for more
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: flexibility and adaptability.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: And now a note on internal dialogue.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so excited to discuss this because it is a prime example of demonstrating that
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: we are always with ourselves,
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: as my concept of self-friendship acknowledges.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: So the saying we commonly use isn't internal monologue, it's internal dialogue.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: A monologue is when only one person is speaking and a dialogue is between two or more people.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: Since we collectively tend to use the phrase internal dialogue,
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to highlight this in relation to our self-friendship to express how we
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: have unconsciously been referring to talking about ourselves as the
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: multidimensional being that we are.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: We are a product of our past selves and the person we're working toward becoming.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Our internal dialogue is a perpetual conversation between the various people we've
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: been and who we want to be.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: The trick is to make our future self our dominant voice so that our present actions
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: align with who we want to become.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: Our self-friendship practice is embracing,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying all versions of ourselves while putting our favorite self forward.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with confrontation.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Lots of perspective dancing today.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: so a little snippet from my self-friendship article on the Planet Butter Substack
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: publication from May 29th,
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: 2024,
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: which was about perspective dancing with confrontation.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: Life is a constant state of confrontation.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: First, I will note that confrontation has a negative connotation.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: However, as I see it, confrontation is not only positive but ever-present.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: The way we communicate,
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: receive,
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: and respond to confrontation is where the discrepancy lives between a positive or
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: negative connotation.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: If we acknowledge our life as the constant state of positive confrontation that it is,
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: we can live more consciously.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Everything around us is a mirror to our inner world.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: When we choose to reflect on what we're being shown,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: we begin to take responsibility for ourselves,
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: igniting our self-friendship practice,
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: and we can appreciate that we're perpetually offered pertinent information about
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: ourselves and invited to grow.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Should we choose to self-reflect and self-connect to the degree that we process
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: this information directly in front of us in every single thought and interaction we
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: have in every given moment?
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: Though every moment is transitional,
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: I believe that some phases of life are heightened transitional phases,
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: and these prominent shifts are the most confronting.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I know that's heavy, but if it piqued your interest, you can read the rest on my sub stack.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: The link is in the show notes.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a perspective dance, another perspective dance, I'll say, with cheating.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: They say once a cheater, always a cheater.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: Now, we need to take into consideration the other end of this.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: Ready?
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: There are people who have never cheated and then cheat for the first time, right?
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: That's the other end of that.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's not funny, but consider this for a minute.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Perspective dance with me.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: There's always a mix of personal growth,
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: dynamics,
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: and holistic circumstances that come into play for any and every cheating situation,
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: rather than resorting to blanket judgments or stereotypes.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know where that phrase started or why it stuck around,
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: but I personally believe at the forefront of every relationship where cheating occurs,
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: the root issue is communication or lack thereof,
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: most likely.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you will consider that and embrace cheating with a more open mind and grounded approach.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a party of one.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: As a loving reminder, party of one means having fun with oneself, for oneself, as oneself.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: Anywhere, everywhere, no matter who's there.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: We become our party of one by consistently practicing self-friendship.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: Each episode,
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: I share little stories from my life that happened thanks to me showing up in the
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: world as my party of one.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: This week's party of one is,
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: well,
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: I will first say I love when people share things with me that reveal that I'm their sign.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: I went for a sunset swim at a spot nobody knows or goes to.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: So it was just me, an infinity pool, a monkey, and this guy with a camera.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Me and the guy with the camera chit chat and become friends.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: Not the monkey.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: I wish it was the monkey.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: Just kidding.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: As it turns out,
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: he had been on a self-friendship pursuit,
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: so meeting me was a big fat sign of positivity in his journey.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: How cool!
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: And he's a brilliant mechanical engineer and graduated undergrad in aerospace
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: engineering and a master's in computer science with an emphasis on intelligent robotics.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: How fucking cool.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: So he was equally a sign for me because he is now on board with the Planet Butter jet.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: And now a perspective dance with getting what we need.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: As per the Rolling Stones, you can't always get what you want.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: And then they go really high pitch.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: You get what you need.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: So if what we need is what we have,
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: then the ideal perspective to maintain is to perpetually want what we have.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is where gratitude lives.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Additionally,
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: in the planet letter perspective dance,
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: we can recognize that what we have is also what we need.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is where self-reflection lives.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: When we are rooted in gratitude and we reflect on ourselves in relation to what we have,
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: recognizing that it is what we need,
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: we can begin to consider why we have what we have,
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: what we can learn from it,
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: and how.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: We can proactively practice our self-friendship.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: Embracing,
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves allows us to further identify how we can evolve into the
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: next phase of getting what we need,
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: which will be what we want.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Full circle.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Also, this might be a lot, but if you're ready for it, here you go.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: The more we practice our self-friendship, the more we can realize that we actually do get what we want.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: When we understand that want equates to how we show up in our thoughts and behaviors,
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: we also understand that the more conscious we are of our thoughts and actions,
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: the more we receive what we truly want.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay,
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: so those who are unconscious of their thoughts and actions often believe they do
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: not get what they want because they do not recognize that what they are receiving
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: is based on their thoughts and actions.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: And since they are unconsciously thinking and acting, they are not receiving what they truly want.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: truly want.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: If what we truly want is not demonstrated through our thoughts and actions,
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: we will receive whatever it is we are showing through our thoughts and actions.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: marinate on that make sure your thoughts and actions align with what you truly want
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: and then you'll get it otherwise you're gonna keep getting what you think you don't
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: want but you're showing the world that you do want it because that's what you're
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: thinking and acting like you see let me know all right a note on toxic people i saw
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: a post the other day that said and i quote
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: A disagreement with a toxic person will turn into an argument that becomes a bigger problem.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: A disagreement with a good person will turn into a conversation that leads to a solution.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's important to know the difference.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: I can't stand that quote.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the thing, people.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Being toxic is not being a bad person,
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: since they referenced the disagreement with a good person versus a toxic person.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's not the contrast, okay?
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: Being toxic is being an unconscious person.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: Toxic people are severely traumatized and likely don't know it or hopefully are working through it.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: But they are not bad people.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody is inherently bad.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody is inherently bad.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: good and good and bad is a judgment in itself so let's just drop all of that we're
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: all just fucking people okay that's what i have to say on that a note on quote
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: unquote life's not a race all right so life is not a race or a competition which i
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: think we all intellectually know
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: However, if it were, the only way to win is to focus on yourself.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're a more competitive individual and you believe in winning, then sure, life is a race.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to win, focus on yourself.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now a note on talking about ourselves.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: I think more often than not, we are taught to not talk about ourselves as if it's rude or obnoxious.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: Can it be?
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Is it always?
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: I fucking love when I talk to other people who also love to talk about themselves and in general.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: Talking about ourselves is a great way to relate to other people.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: So I love when other people feel confident enough to do the same.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: It also allows us to connect on a deeper level and learn more about not only
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: ourselves or one another,
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: but society as a whole.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's being vulnerable, honestly.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: And that's a beautiful thing.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: Why we don't need to know why we feel what we feel.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: I love this one because I'm going full science.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: So we don't always need to know why we feel what we feel.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we just need to feel what we feel.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: As according to Dr.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: Jill Bult Taylor,
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: a neuroanatomist,
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: the initial physiological response to an emotional trigger,
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: such as an adrenaline rush or the activation of fight or flight,
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: lasts about 90 seconds.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: This includes the release and uptake of various hormones and neurotransmitters.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: After this 90-second period,
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: the body is no longer producing these chemicals in response to the initial stimulus.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore,
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: if the emotion persists beyond this 90 second timeframe,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: it is because the individual is continuing to think about the event that triggered
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: the emotional response.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: So when there is an initial moment of experiencing a feeling,
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: we can do our best to remind ourselves that it will only take 90 seconds to pass through us.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: If we are conscious of these 90 seconds,
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: then we can create the space to fully sit in the emotion,
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: knowing it will end soon on a physiological and scientific level,
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: which will more likely give ourselves the permission to not think about it after
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: those 90 seconds.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: So we are not repeating a cycle of emotions, but rather proactively moving forward.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: It requires a lot of consciousness and presence, but I do believe we can do it.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a perspective dance with the word fragile.

  SPEAKER_00: When a person is referred to as being fragile,
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: it is often seen as an insult,
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_00: implying that they are overly sensitive or easily broken.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: However,
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: if we recognize that agile forms a significant part of the word fragile,
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: then we can reconsider the meaning.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: We can view it as the ability to quickly transition between emotions,
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: demonstrating high emotional intelligence.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: Being emotionally agile means acknowledging and moving through a range of motions efficiently,
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: which is a strength.

  SPEAKER_00: I wish more people were fragile.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: This also relates to my previous note about an emotion scientifically lasting only 90 seconds.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: By embracing this understanding,
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: we can consciously choose to be emotionally fragile in the sense that we allow
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: ourselves to fully experience and then release our emotions,
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: fostering resilience and emotional agility.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: So take that next time somebody calls you fragile.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's a compliment.
• 18:44
