Speaker 1: But the reward is priceless.

1:36
Speaker 3: Want to get your own copy of the rich in

Speaker 3: Life formula, of course you can do that, but you

Speaker 3: can also apply these in whatever way you want to.
1:44
Speaker 1: We're never going to be like, no, you have to
1:46
Speaker 1: buy it.
1:46
Speaker 3: So as we always start with what's your life lesson
1:49
Speaker 3: of the week?
1:50
Speaker 1: Sally Bally, So my life lesson of the week is obviously.
1:54
Speaker 2: With the rich in Life launch, we've been thinking a
1:56
Speaker 2: lot about what makes us rich in life. There's a
2:00
Speaker 2: sneaky bonus question at the end of all of our
2:02
Speaker 2: interviews with our guests. We've been asking them what makes
2:06
Speaker 2: them feel rich in life, And you chicks may have
2:08
Speaker 2: seen we put them together and it just made me
2:12
Speaker 2: realize that what makes you rich in life is really
2:15
Speaker 2: different to each person, and how important it is to
2:19
Speaker 2: ask yourself that question and do whatever you can to
2:23
Speaker 2: lean into it.
2:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was such a pleasure editing that together. Like
2:28
Speaker 3: when I was making the edit, like I teared up
2:32
Speaker 3: like multiple times, because when you ask people that you
2:37
Speaker 3: see on their face the moment they think of the answer,
2:40
Speaker 3: when you see the smile that genuinely just radiates from them,
2:45
Speaker 3: when they think about what makes them feel rich in life.
2:48
Speaker 3: And just being able to watch that again and edit
2:51
Speaker 3: it all together and put music to it, it just
2:54
Speaker 3: made me feel so rich in life. It just feels
3:00
Speaker 3: really good to do something that means something and yeah,
3:04
Speaker 3: I love that. That's such a good thing. What's your
3:06
Speaker 3: life lesson?
3:07
Speaker 1: So my life lesson is that it is it's November. Baby,
3:13
Speaker 1: what comes in overbo baby sales? He's a baby. I'm ready.
3:18
Speaker 3: I've been doing my sprints on keyboard. I have been
3:21
Speaker 3: making wishless on keyboard. I have been researching sales and
3:27
Speaker 3: dupes and everything that all the chickies need. Because of course,
3:32
Speaker 3: the click Frenzy and Black Friday cheat sheets are coming.
3:36
Speaker 3: So the click Frenzy cheat sheet will be dropping on
3:39
Speaker 3: the first day of Clickfrenzy because that's when all the
3:41
Speaker 3: sales drop. However, the Black Friday cheat sheet is going
3:47
Speaker 3: to be coming early because we are already getting messages
3:51
Speaker 3: about it.
3:51
Speaker 1: And I'm like, please, actually wait. She will be coming
3:55
Speaker 1: on the Monday of the.
3:56
Speaker 3: Week of Black Friday, so she will be coming five
4:00
Speaker 3: days earlier, because yes, there will be sales that drop earlier,
4:04
Speaker 3: but the best sales for Black Friday will drop that week,
4:08
Speaker 3: So there's no point in us dropping a cheat sheet
4:10
Speaker 3: when the sales aren't going.
4:10
Speaker 1: To be good, because we actually probably wouldn't.
4:13
Speaker 3: Recommend shopping earlier for most things, as we always say,
4:17
Speaker 3: if you absolutely need want something and you can't risk
4:22
Speaker 3: it selling out, do your think.
4:24
Speaker 1: But that's coming and I'm so excited.
4:27
Speaker 3: But this sale season, we had a discussion and we
4:32
Speaker 3: wanted to incorporate a way that we could ensure we
4:36
Speaker 3: were not only helping you chicks save money, but helping
4:40
Speaker 3: those in need. So for all the money that we
4:42
Speaker 3: make from our affiliate links or clicks or partners, we
4:48
Speaker 3: will be donating to charity. So if you are using
4:52
Speaker 3: the cheat sheet, or if you're in our bro Chicks
4:54
Speaker 3: Club or shopping buy links on our stories or link
4:56
Speaker 3: in bio and that is an affiliate link, we are
4:59
Speaker 3: going to be donating all of that money to those
5:02
Speaker 3: in need to help victims of domestic violence in Australia,
5:06
Speaker 3: the people of Palestine, and also Sydney Dogs and Cats
5:09
Speaker 3: home because it is just so important for us. It's
5:13
Speaker 3: such a huge value for us to make sure that
5:15
Speaker 3: we are giving back from all the privileges and amazing
5:18
Speaker 3: experiences that we get doing this job. But I think
5:22
Speaker 3: this year and this is my life lesson of the week,
5:24
Speaker 3: but it's kind of my life lesson of the year
5:26
Speaker 3: is that I and I know you feel this way too.
5:29
Speaker 3: I just feel so much joy when we are helping
5:32
Speaker 3: and we are giving back, and even when it is
5:35
Speaker 3: just as small as doing an advent calendar giveaway, but
5:40
Speaker 3: when we send that message and you know, the chick
5:43
Speaker 3: lack replies or the person replies and says like, thank
5:46
Speaker 3: you so much. And it's so wild how the universe
5:50
Speaker 3: works because so often.
5:52
Speaker 1: And it's always such a random draw. But for example, someone.
5:57
Speaker 3: That won the Akosa bedroom give away, her daughter had
6:02
Speaker 3: been really, really sick and they'd been renovating and they
6:05
Speaker 3: couldn't afford to keep renovating because of these hospital bills.
6:10
Speaker 1: And for her to win that, she was like, this
6:12
Speaker 1: is just I needed this.
6:14
Speaker 3: And it's just those moments that it's just makes me
6:18
Speaker 3: feel so happy and it is such an important value
6:21
Speaker 3: for us. As two people, but as like a collective
6:25
Speaker 3: and a brand to ensure that we're always giving back.
6:27
Speaker 3: So when you're doing your shopping this sale season and
6:30
Speaker 3: Black Friday, not only will we have the best cheat
6:32
Speaker 3: sheet and the best sales, we are your one stop shop.
6:35
Speaker 3: We also will be having exclusive deals from brands. But
6:38
Speaker 3: please know that your shopping is going to be going
6:41
Speaker 3: towards helping people as well.
6:44
Speaker 1: So Kisses, It's a gift for you and a gift
6:47
Speaker 1: for those needs. Those needs to win WINU.
6:51
Speaker 3: Love it all right, Let's get into what it means
6:54
Speaker 3: to be rich in live? What does it mean to
7:02
Speaker 3: be rich in life?
7:03
Speaker 1: Rich in life is the ability.
7:05
Speaker 3: To identify, prioritize, and embody small pieces of joy that
7:09
Speaker 3: add up to an enriched daily experience. It's about blending
7:14
Speaker 3: goals with joy and allowing growth in a way that
7:18
Speaker 3: feeds your soul without feeling like it's a chore. It's
7:22
Speaker 3: about being present when you're getting your morning coffee, laughing
7:25
Speaker 3: with your friends, putting on a clean T shirt, or
7:27
Speaker 3: watching the first episode from a new season of your
7:30
Speaker 3: favorite TV show.
7:32
Speaker 1: The rich in Life formula isn't.
7:34
Speaker 3: Here to tell you to work out five times a week,
7:37
Speaker 3: drink your water, call your parents, earn six figures, and
7:39
Speaker 3: so on and so forth. It's here to help you
7:41
Speaker 3: identify what truly brings you joy and give you the
7:44
Speaker 3: tools to help you achieve it. We didn't make it
7:47
Speaker 3: to be like seventy five fucking hard or life everyone
7:52
Speaker 3: knows how I feel about that, or like make you
7:55
Speaker 3: feel bad, like what these planners are and these journals
7:59
Speaker 3: are and these conversation cards are.
8:01
Speaker 1: It's things that make you feel good.
8:04
Speaker 3: It's about finding what makes you happy and ways to
8:08
Speaker 3: incorporate that. And sometimes the things that make you happy
8:11
Speaker 3: sometimes they are hard to do, and it's about being
8:13
Speaker 3: able to build that habit or make it fun. But
8:16
Speaker 3: it's not about identifying all the things you think you're
8:19
Speaker 3: lacking in and then being like, Okay, I've.
8:21
Speaker 1: Got to go do this and I've got to do that.
8:23
Speaker 3: I've got to do that absolutely, not yeah, like you
8:25
Speaker 3: can put in your habit tracker like listen to music,
8:28
Speaker 3: you know, Like, it's about finding things that make you
8:31
Speaker 3: feel fucking joy and have a good time.
8:34
Speaker 1: I'm so sick and tired.
8:36
Speaker 3: Of people feeling and even myself feeling at some point
8:39
Speaker 3: in time this year, like every day's the same, or
8:42
Speaker 3: that you're not ready to kick a door if it's hinges,
8:45
Speaker 3: or that you're not having fun play and fun is
8:47
Speaker 3: like the best part of life, and that's the richness
8:51
Speaker 3: that we aim to give with this brand. It's like
8:53
Speaker 3: a wellness brand that doesn't take itself too seriously.
8:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, because that is so not our vibe or
9:01
Speaker 2: our lifestyle. And we still want to challenge ourselves and
9:04
Speaker 2: grow and become the best version of ourselves. But that
9:09
Speaker 2: doesn't entail punishing yourself and putting yourself through things to
9:14
Speaker 2: meet other people's expectations or even expectations that you put
9:18
Speaker 2: on yourself that aren't going to make you happy.
9:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, growth should be challenging, but never negative, like never
9:27
Speaker 3: hard in a way that it's not right for you.
9:30
Speaker 3: Because as like the very famous saying goes, anything that's
9:34
Speaker 3: meant for you will never miss you. So like if
9:36
Speaker 3: you're going against the grain on something like yes, growth
9:40
Speaker 3: is challenge and there will always be highs and lows
9:44
Speaker 3: and adversity, and if everything's good, then nothing's good.
9:48
Speaker 1: But it's like not.
9:50
Speaker 3: Everything should be hard. Not everything needs to feel like
9:53
Speaker 3: an uphill battle. And that's why we made the planners
9:56
Speaker 3: because there are so many amazing wellness brands and planners
10:00
Speaker 3: out there, and absolutely like, if those work for you,
10:03
Speaker 3: that's amazing. But I always felt like I was falling
10:05
Speaker 3: behind in them because I was like, oh, fuck, I
10:08
Speaker 3: didn't I didn't drink seven hundred liters of water today,
10:12
Speaker 3: or I didn't do this, or I didn't do that.
10:14
Speaker 3: And it's more about just finding what brings you joy
10:17
Speaker 3: and that's why we made them.
10:18
Speaker 1: But they are a little bit a little bit different
10:20
Speaker 1: to last year.
10:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, so how the twenty twenty five planner is different
10:25
Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty four planner. The biggest difference is
10:30
Speaker 2: that this year's planner is fully customizable to your own goals.
10:35
Speaker 2: So we still have the twelve focuses throughout the year, but.
10:39
Speaker 1: Last year we gave you your monthly focuses.
10:42
Speaker 2: But this year it's all up to you, which I
10:45
Speaker 2: think is so amazing because you know, you can really
10:49
Speaker 2: sit down and be like, what do I want to
10:50
Speaker 2: achieve this year and map out your focuses for the
10:54
Speaker 2: year that ladder up to.
10:56
Speaker 1: Whatever your greater goal is, or you can do it
10:59
Speaker 1: as you go. Oh, like, you can really.
11:01
Speaker 2: Mix and match it and customize it to what's going
11:05
Speaker 2: to be motivating for you.
11:07
Speaker 3: And it's also different because this year's is dated. Last
11:11
Speaker 3: years was undated and after high request. It also features
11:17
Speaker 3: a ribbon so that you can keep track of where
11:19
Speaker 3: you are. We dated it as requested. It was one
11:23
Speaker 3: of the highest requests from last year as well. But
11:26
Speaker 3: it also helps keep you on track because I think
11:30
Speaker 3: the reason people can go for undated things is and
11:33
Speaker 3: I think it's fair enough, is because you can fall
11:35
Speaker 3: off goals. But the point of this planner is that
11:39
Speaker 3: it accounts for that. It has a refocused section in
11:43
Speaker 3: the middle of every single month to help you get
11:46
Speaker 3: back on track of whatever That focus is. That it's
11:49
Speaker 3: okay if you don't keep up on your focuses per month.
11:53
Speaker 3: So the biggest difference between this year and last year
11:57
Speaker 3: is that we developed and created the rich in Life formula.
12:02
Speaker 3: So it combines the science of microhabits, dopamine menus, goal
12:06
Speaker 3: mapping and mood hydration, and budget tracking plus five worksheets
12:11
Speaker 3: per month to keep you on track with your focus.
12:13
Speaker 3: So basically, the year is broken down into twelve customized
12:19
Speaker 3: monthly focuses and within those months, you've got five phases
12:23
Speaker 3: which is Rise, Reset, Refocus, rest, and reflection. So Rise
12:29
Speaker 3: is what do I want to focus on this month?
12:31
Speaker 3: Reset is how do I.
12:33
Speaker 1: Create an environment that I can.
12:34
Speaker 3: Achieve this, Refocus is what can I introduce or change
12:38
Speaker 3: to stay on track? Rest is what do I want
12:41
Speaker 3: to leave behind that doesn't serve me? And reflection is
12:44
Speaker 3: things I loved, learned and will improve on. And I
12:48
Speaker 3: love these because as someone who can get bored with
12:50
Speaker 3: shit really easily, I need like a little worksheet in
12:53
Speaker 3: there to kind of keep me on track and be like, ooh,
12:57
Speaker 3: what's new, what's fun? And then it's like twelve of
13:00
Speaker 3: thirty day challenges, which I'm.
13:03
Speaker 1: A slot for a thirty day challenge.
13:05
Speaker 3: So if you can't commit to anything longer than that,
13:08
Speaker 3: which is definitely tricky, like you know, we are all human,
13:12
Speaker 3: it freshens it up and keeps it interesting all year,
13:15
Speaker 3: and you can change your focus, so you can divide
13:18
Speaker 3: it up in two different ways. And that is my
13:22
Speaker 3: first life changing habit that costs nothing and is completely
13:28
Speaker 3: changed my twenty twenty four when I learned about this.
13:30
Speaker 3: But it's called goal mapping. So in the planner, we
13:33
Speaker 3: teach you how to do this, and there are two
13:35
Speaker 3: ways that you can goal map, and it's basically every
13:38
Speaker 3: month you can choose a completely different focus. So January
13:41
Speaker 3: could be money, February could be friends, March could be career,
13:46
Speaker 3: and you can just choose little pieces of your life
13:49
Speaker 3: that you want to focus on for thirty days and
13:51
Speaker 3: then once you get that in that fucking bag because
13:53
Speaker 3: you're a boss ass bitch, then you move on to
13:55
Speaker 3: the next thing that you want to focus on and
13:57
Speaker 3: it keeps it really interesting. Or you can goal map
14:00
Speaker 3: in a way that you have a long term goal
14:03
Speaker 3: at the end of the year. Let's say it's you
14:05
Speaker 3: want to save ten thousand dollars or you want to
14:08
Speaker 3: run five k's by the.
14:10
Speaker 1: End of the year, right.
14:11
Speaker 3: You would then break that down over twelve months to
14:15
Speaker 3: gradually lead up to that end goal. So you would
14:18
Speaker 3: create twelve short term goals that equal your twelve.
14:22
Speaker 1: Month long term goal. So January would be go for.
14:27
Speaker 3: Two walks per week that are like thirty minutes. Then
14:30
Speaker 3: February would be like, go for three walks that are
14:33
Speaker 3: thirty minutes. Then March would be go for two walks
14:36
Speaker 3: and one run, and then you would gradually do that.
14:40
Speaker 1: But the best hack is.
14:42
Speaker 3: It can be difficult to be like, well, this is
14:44
Speaker 3: my end goal that I want, but I don't know
14:47
Speaker 3: what my monthly focuses should be to add up to that.
14:50
Speaker 1: Baby, that's where we use AI. So I did this
14:56
Speaker 1: for next year, and I was like, do you know what,
14:58
Speaker 1: I'm just going to start now.
15:00
Speaker 3: And I put in what I want my goals to be,
15:02
Speaker 3: and I said, create a twelve month plan for me
15:07
Speaker 3: every month for me to achieve these goals.
15:10
Speaker 1: And I just spat them back out and I was like, sweet,
15:13
Speaker 1: that cost me nothing. Yeah, it's so easy.
15:16
Speaker 3: So you can use AI to backtrack your goals on
15:18
Speaker 3: what you want to achieve and then break them down
15:20
Speaker 3: over twelve months, and then your five phases within the
15:23
Speaker 3: month help keep you on track for all of those. Yeah,
15:27
Speaker 3: and we also recommend that if you are planning these
15:29
Speaker 3: out in advance for the year, when you're fielling out
15:33
Speaker 3: your journal, you can also use a pencil. We actually
15:36
Speaker 3: require you to use a pencil because goals are meant
15:39
Speaker 3: to change. Yeah, so you can rub it out and adjust,
15:43
Speaker 3: sub it out.
15:44
Speaker 1: You can rub it out. You can rub it out
15:47
Speaker 1: your goals and you can jange your girls. But yeah,
15:49
Speaker 1: they're not set in stone.
15:51
Speaker 2: They're meant to change and evolve as you do, so
15:55
Speaker 2: use a pencil in that part for sure. And you
15:57
Speaker 2: know what, sometimes taking off the pressure on your goals
16:00
Speaker 2: is the key to achieving them.
16:02
Speaker 1: What's your life changing habit that costs nothing? My first
16:05
Speaker 1: life changing.
16:05
Speaker 2: Habit that costs zero dollars is turning guilty pleasures into
16:10
Speaker 2: guilt free pleasures. In the rich in Life Journal, we
16:13
Speaker 2: have twelve different focuses with fifteen different journal prompts under
16:18
Speaker 2: each one, and one of them is guilt free.
16:21
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, it's like picking your favorite child,
16:24
Speaker 1: but it's my favorite two.
16:25
Speaker 2: But I do really love the guilt free section because
16:28
Speaker 2: I think that in life and to feel rich in life,
16:32
Speaker 2: we really need to embrace the silly little things that
16:35
Speaker 2: make us happy, even if they're cringe or uncool, or
16:38
Speaker 2: maybe you think they're a bit self indulgent, because they're
16:41
Speaker 2: purely about enjoying yourself and having a good time. So
16:45
Speaker 2: I think, as a habit, ask yourself, if you could
16:47
Speaker 2: spend an entire day doing whatever you.
16:50
Speaker 1: Wanted guilt free, what would it look like and why?
16:54
Speaker 1: And then build whatever that is into your weekly routine.
17:01
Speaker 2: So maybe that could be binge watching RuPaul's Drag Race,
17:06
Speaker 2: or sleeping in on a Sunday, or baking a silly,
17:11
Speaker 2: little girly treat for yourself.
17:14
Speaker 3: My favorite thing about that question is when you write
17:17
Speaker 3: it out in the journal or on a piece of paper,
17:20
Speaker 3: you realize how achievable that day is.
17:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not, you know. It's like when you ask
17:27
Speaker 1: the question what's your perfect day?
17:29
Speaker 3: The only thing that you know everything that makes you
17:32
Speaker 3: happy right now, because you've already experienced it.
17:35
Speaker 1: That's why there's a whole lesson about one hundred and
17:38
Speaker 1: one essays to change the way you think.
17:41
Speaker 3: You actually can't assume something will make you happy. The
17:45
Speaker 3: only thing you know is what you have experienced. So
17:48
Speaker 3: when you think, okay, what's my perfect day or what's my.
17:51
Speaker 1: Guilt free day, you've already experienced that.
17:54
Speaker 3: And that is something that is the most amazing realization
17:58
Speaker 3: because it makes you realize how achievable that is, unless
18:01
Speaker 3: it's like go on a fucking Disneyland like tomorrow. Right Obviously,
18:05
Speaker 3: I would say ninety nine percent of people, their guilt
18:08
Speaker 3: free day or their most perfect day is the most gentle,
18:11
Speaker 3: easy day of just enjoying themselves. Yeah, and I think
18:16
Speaker 3: that's the best part, Like, that's my favorite realization.
18:19
Speaker 1: It's like, you can literally do that probably this weekend.
18:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think a really key part of that
18:26
Speaker 2: is making sure that you're not looking at it like
18:30
Speaker 2: it's a guilty pleasure and that it is a guilt
18:32
Speaker 2: free pleasure, because I think that if we're made to
18:35
Speaker 2: feel guilty about the things that allow us to switch
18:39
Speaker 2: our brain off or feel joy or embrace out in
18:42
Speaker 2: a child, you're not really enjoying it because in the
18:46
Speaker 2: back of your head you're like, oh, but I should
18:47
Speaker 2: be putting the washing away, Oh don't, or I've got
18:50
Speaker 2: this deadline.
18:51
Speaker 1: At worsh or this is cringe.
18:53
Speaker 2: Why am I watching Love Island when I could be
18:57
Speaker 2: watching the news. That takes away the joy and the
19:00
Speaker 2: benefit of doing those guilt free activities because you're not
19:04
Speaker 2: fully leaning in and enjoying it.
19:06
Speaker 1: So that's the key. Just rebrand, rebrand. But yeah, that's
19:12
Speaker 1: my first habit, love it.
19:14
Speaker 3: My next life changing habit that costs nothing is understanding
19:18
Speaker 3: the difference between dopamine menus versus habit tracking. So dopamine
19:23
Speaker 3: menus is something that absolutely popped off this year and
19:26
Speaker 3: I was like.
19:27
Speaker 1: Give that to me, now, I love it. I always
19:31
Speaker 1: love a trend like.
19:32
Speaker 3: Don't don't get it twisted. They just don't stick around
19:35
Speaker 3: all the time. I'm like every other girly babe, but
19:37
Speaker 3: like that, I was like, that is staying. That is sticking.
19:40
Speaker 3: And we actually ended up putting a dopamine menu in
19:44
Speaker 3: the planner because I was like, I love this.
19:46
Speaker 1: I want everyone to do this. It's the most perfect
19:49
Speaker 1: thing in the world.
19:49
Speaker 3: We do have a full episode on dopamine menus and
19:52
Speaker 3: how to build yours and a budget, so I don't
19:54
Speaker 3: want to overlap and go too much into it. But basically,
19:57
Speaker 3: a dopamine menu is your little list of.
20:00
Speaker 1: Things that bring you joy. It's broken up into appetizer.
20:04
Speaker 3: Main course, dessert, and side dishes, and it's how you
20:08
Speaker 3: not only one get shit done, but identify the things
20:10
Speaker 3: that give you good brain juice and high level quality
20:13
Speaker 3: of dopamine. So how I look at a dopamine menu
20:16
Speaker 3: is it's like the fun singular activities during the week
20:20
Speaker 3: that bring you joy or achievement ensure These include things
20:23
Speaker 3: that bring you the high quality dopamine, such as doing
20:26
Speaker 3: your washing, cleaning your makeup brushes, doing a polarities class,
20:30
Speaker 3: but also fun things like making a Pinterest board, or
20:33
Speaker 3: doing your shower makeup, or watching your favorite movie. Like
20:38
Speaker 3: it's adding things on your to do list that are
20:42
Speaker 3: about having fun and having a good time. So often
20:46
Speaker 3: now to do list is things that we don't want
20:48
Speaker 3: to do, Yeah, which then like, why would you do that?
20:52
Speaker 1: How boring is that?
20:53
Speaker 3: That's why we never finish that. That's why we never
20:55
Speaker 3: finish them. And that's why we fucking hate being an
20:57
Speaker 3: adult because everything that we have to do we don't
21:00
Speaker 3: want to do because we never.
21:02
Speaker 1: Prioritize the things we actually want to do. Yeah, And
21:05
Speaker 1: it's annoying.
21:07
Speaker 4: It makes me so frustrated because I'm like, fucking hell,
21:11
Speaker 4: we get so little time to enjoy our life, and
21:15
Speaker 4: when you're on your deathbed, you're not gonna be like,
21:17
Speaker 4: thank god, I drank seventeen gallons of water a day
21:22
Speaker 4: and in.
21:22
Speaker 1: Seventy five hard two months a day.
21:26
Speaker 3: Like you know, like there's just so many rules that
21:29
Speaker 3: we apparently have to tick off, and we prioritize those
21:32
Speaker 3: that are absolutely made up.
21:33
Speaker 1: They're all fake, and we don't end up having a
21:36
Speaker 1: fucking good time.
21:37
Speaker 3: So without that rant popping off, Sally, come on, calm down,
21:42
Speaker 3: we digress. Learning the difference between having habits that are
21:47
Speaker 3: for self growth and self betterment versus a dopamine menu,
21:52
Speaker 3: which is about prioritizing joy, has completely changed the way
21:56
Speaker 3: I look about structuring my life and my goal and
22:00
Speaker 3: everything I want to achieve, because absolutely, yes, we want
22:04
Speaker 3: to have we want to have habits that are important
22:06
Speaker 3: for our health, like moving our body and eating nutritious
22:10
Speaker 3: meals and drinking water and being around the people we love.
22:14
Speaker 1: Those are so important.
22:15
Speaker 3: I'm not taking away from that, and I absolutely love
22:17
Speaker 3: having those in my ritual and routine as well. But
22:20
Speaker 3: let's not forget about the shitty little things that just
22:23
Speaker 3: make us happy, that just bring us joy.
22:25
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter. It's so customized to what you
22:27
Speaker 1: want it to be too.
22:28
Speaker 3: It could be just trying on clothes at home and
22:31
Speaker 3: just making outfits, whatever that is, watching your hair tutorial
22:34
Speaker 3: on YouTube and playing with your hair.
22:36
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck.
22:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, just find what makes you happy and put it
22:40
Speaker 3: in that little fucking dopamine menu, or I'm gonna come
22:43
Speaker 3: up and I'm going to give you a kiss on
22:44
Speaker 3: the cheek and I'm gonna hold you and cuddle you
22:46
Speaker 3: and say come here and I'm going to sit with
22:49
Speaker 3: you and write it out together.
22:51
Speaker 1: Oh my god, sit on mummy's Okay.
22:53
Speaker 3: That's the most aggressive gentle parenting I've ever heard, but truly,
22:58
Speaker 3: because that's the thing that is such a difference between
23:01
Speaker 3: dopamine menus versus habit tracking. So habit tracking, which is
23:05
Speaker 3: also in the plant, is about the daily.
23:07
Speaker 1: Micro habits that you want to build into your routine.
23:09
Speaker 3: So your dopamin menu is for your week, your habit
23:12
Speaker 3: tracking is for your daily habits. And this might look
23:15
Speaker 3: like waking up thirty minutes earlier, reading one page of
23:18
Speaker 3: a book per night, and going for a twenty minute walk.
23:20
Speaker 3: But it's about reoccurring habits that maybe take a bit
23:23
Speaker 3: more work at being consistent with, but have a prices payoff.
23:28
Speaker 1: But I think it's it's really.
23:29
Speaker 3: Important to know the difference between those two. And once
23:31
Speaker 3: I learned about that, I was like, oh, maga this
23:36
Speaker 3: o maga, Oh maga, girl, you have no idea how
23:41
Speaker 3: much change?
23:43
Speaker 1: I think I blacked out during that. Sorry, yeah she
23:46
Speaker 1: had a rage blackout.
23:47
Speaker 3: Yeah I had a rage blackout of loving everyone, of
23:50
Speaker 3: wanting the best for everyone.
23:51
Speaker 1: That is me as a human. That's a thing that
23:55
Speaker 1: is like aries vibes for sure, being like I love, yeah, yeah,
23:59
Speaker 1: aggressive love.
24:01
Speaker 2: My next life changing habit is having rich conversations.
24:05
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that when you catch up with people,
24:08
Speaker 1: it always goes something like have you been?
24:12
Speaker 2: How's work?
24:13
Speaker 1: What are you up to this weekend?
24:15
Speaker 2: And I do think that these questions are good to have,
24:18
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking them.
24:21
Speaker 2: But if we limit ourselves to asking only these surface
24:25
Speaker 2: level questions, how can we really have deep connections and
24:29
Speaker 2: rich conversations with people. And I've made this a habit
24:33
Speaker 2: for myself, especially when I'm speaking to my parents or
24:37
Speaker 2: to my nan, because I realized that I don't really
24:41
Speaker 2: know much about their lives or their perspectives before I
24:46
Speaker 2: was around, or even just about topics of conversation that
24:50
Speaker 2: you wouldn't necessarily have with your family.
24:54
Speaker 1: So every time I talk to them.
24:56
Speaker 2: On the phone or I see them in person, I
24:59
Speaker 2: make a to ask them a question about something in
25:03
Speaker 2: their life, or even if it's like something that's happening
25:06
Speaker 2: on the news, or asking them like what TV shows
25:10
Speaker 2: have they been watching?
25:11
Speaker 1: And making an effort to ask things.
25:14
Speaker 2: That I just don't know about them and learning more
25:18
Speaker 2: about them.
25:19
Speaker 1: And I think you can apply that to people like
25:21
Speaker 1: that in your life, or you.
25:23
Speaker 2: Can do it in your friendships or relationships or when
25:25
Speaker 2: you're meeting somebody new. And we did a whole episode
25:29
Speaker 2: on how to have rich conversations and about the Rich
25:33
Speaker 2: Conversations card game that we dropped, so I won't go
25:36
Speaker 2: into it too much, but that's why we launched it
25:39
Speaker 2: to help give you prompts to have those conversations from
25:44
Speaker 2: silly topics to serious and more deep and meaningful, because
25:48
Speaker 2: I think that's why we asked the how have you
25:50
Speaker 2: been and what are you doing this weekend because we
25:54
Speaker 2: don't know what else time.
25:55
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just need something to give you a little
25:58
Speaker 3: bit of a helping hand, and that's fine, Like when
26:00
Speaker 3: you like it's like when someone says, oh, like tell
26:04
Speaker 3: me about yourself, You're like, oh, but I don't know,
26:07
Speaker 3: Like you need that thing that's like, oh, I've actually
26:10
Speaker 3: got an answer for that. Like you need that little
26:13
Speaker 3: thing that's the spark to ignite.
26:14
Speaker 1: The flame, the flame of conversation.
26:19
Speaker 2: No.
26:19
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, definitely go give that episode a listen.
26:23
Speaker 3: It came out on Tuesday and ten out of ten
26:25
Speaker 3: recommend we revealed the silliest things we've ever done to
26:28
Speaker 3: impress someone, and I already want to take the episode down.
26:32
Speaker 2: What have we done?
26:34
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm actually incredibly embarrassing. It's too much.
26:39
Speaker 3: And my last life changing habit is mood tracking. So,
26:45
Speaker 3: according to the Better Health Channel, understanding your moods helps
26:48
Speaker 3: you manage them and feel better faster. If you are
26:52
Speaker 3: more aware of your moods, you may be able to
26:54
Speaker 3: better manage your lifestyle choices, make informed health decisions, prevent
26:59
Speaker 3: or avoid triggers negative moods, and work towards a better
27:02
Speaker 3: quality of life. And like, isn't that? Isn't that the
27:05
Speaker 3: whole goal? Really the whole goal, the.
27:08
Speaker 1: Whole any holes the goal? And so I have been
27:15
Speaker 1: doing this recently and it.
27:18
Speaker 5: Is literally the wildest thing of how you realize what
27:24
Speaker 5: puts you in a good mood and what puts you
27:26
Speaker 5: in a ship mood, Because when you're not tracking it,
27:28
Speaker 5: you're not keeping like a mental filing cabinet of all
27:31
Speaker 5: the things.
27:32
Speaker 3: That do just absolutely make you feel like a wet mop.
27:36
Speaker 1: And then when you do, you're like when you if
27:38
Speaker 1: you have the planner.
27:39
Speaker 3: You don't have to have the planet to do this, obviously,
27:41
Speaker 3: But when I would like, you know, circle maybe the
27:45
Speaker 3: sad face because I'd had a bit of a bad.
27:47
Speaker 1: Day and I was like, oh, do you know what,
27:49
Speaker 1: I didn't do that today?
27:50
Speaker 3: And that does normally like I didn't listen to music
27:52
Speaker 3: when I woke up, and then that meant that I
27:54
Speaker 3: didn't do this, and then that meant that I did
27:55
Speaker 3: and then those are all the things that bring me joy.
27:58
Speaker 1: And then on the days that.
27:59
Speaker 3: I would circle happy face or like that, yeah it
28:02
Speaker 3: was a good day face, I'm like, oh. But it
28:04
Speaker 3: helps you identify the things that you do that do
28:08
Speaker 3: make you feel good, and it acts as like a
28:10
Speaker 3: little bit of a motivator.
28:12
Speaker 1: It's like how people say you love working out once
28:15
Speaker 1: you start seeing results.
28:17
Speaker 3: I kind of don't really like that whole memo because
28:20
Speaker 3: you don't have to change where you look to feel good.
28:21
Speaker 3: But with this it is similar because you start identifying
28:27
Speaker 3: the things that make you feel good, you feel the
28:28
Speaker 3: results of feeling good, so then you're more motivated to
28:31
Speaker 3: do them.
28:32
Speaker 1: So sleigh to mood tracking and out of ten big sleighs.
28:37
Speaker 2: My last life changing habit that costs zero dollars is
28:40
Speaker 2: giving back.
28:42
Speaker 1: So this kind of links back to your.
28:44
Speaker 2: Life lesson, our our life, I would say, it's our
28:46
Speaker 2: life lesson. Yeah it is, and I'm sure a lot
28:49
Speaker 2: of the chicks resonated with.
28:50
Speaker 1: It as well, especially this year.
28:52
Speaker 2: But I think there are so many ways that you
28:55
Speaker 2: can give back beyond giving money as well. I think,
28:59
Speaker 2: of course that is so important, But for this particular habit,
29:03
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about zero dollar ways to give
29:06
Speaker 2: back that you can build in as habits for yourself
29:10
Speaker 2: and some examples of that. So, for example, even when
29:14
Speaker 2: you see a friend stressed out or you've noticed that
29:16
Speaker 2: they're low, ask them, is there anything I can do
29:20
Speaker 2: to help? Or if you can see that you know
29:24
Speaker 2: they're struggling with something, to be like, what can I
29:26
Speaker 2: do to take this off your plate? Or do you
29:29
Speaker 2: want me to come around and help you declutter? Or
29:32
Speaker 2: do you want me to drop you off to the
29:33
Speaker 2: airport or whatever that thing is that doesn't take you know,
29:38
Speaker 2: a whole lot of money or a big grand gesture
29:41
Speaker 2: to do, but it's still giving back and shows that
29:45
Speaker 2: you care and that you're noticing that they need help.
29:48
Speaker 1: Because we covered this a few weeks ago.
29:50
Speaker 2: But you know, people don't always ask or reach out
29:53
Speaker 2: when they need help. So I think that's a really
29:55
Speaker 2: good habit to sort of zoom out as well and
29:58
Speaker 2: try and take in how other people around you are doing.
30:02
Speaker 2: I think also donating your time to a cause that
30:05
Speaker 2: you care about, whether that's like volunteering at an animal
30:08
Speaker 2: shelter or whatever it may be, signing petitions, and also
30:14
Speaker 2: sharing social media posts to raise awareness for something that
30:17
Speaker 2: you're passionate about. I think that if you have money
30:20
Speaker 2: to donate to a cause that you care about, of
30:23
Speaker 2: course that is amazing and we definitely recommend that. But
30:27
Speaker 2: if you don't, try not to feel down on yourself
30:31
Speaker 2: or you know, powerless, because there are so many other
30:34
Speaker 2: things that you can do that don't cost a lot
30:36
Speaker 2: of money to give back. And I think that giving
30:40
Speaker 2: back without the expectation of getting something in return is
30:44
Speaker 2: the best feeling and will leave you feeling.
30:46
Speaker 1: So rich in life. Yeah, I'm just even smiling as
30:50
Speaker 1: you're talking.
30:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, while you're reflecting each week, ask yourself, what's one
30:55
Speaker 2: thing that I did for someone else without hoping to
30:59
Speaker 2: get something return. But I think if you want to
31:01
Speaker 2: build it in as a habit, then that.
31:04
Speaker 1: Will help you. I love that as a daily habit.
31:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like turn that into one of those autopilot habits
31:10
Speaker 2: that we were talking about, even if it's.
31:12
Speaker 1: Just like complimenting someone on the.
31:14
Speaker 3: Train or like really thanking your barista for making something.
31:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always say that whenever somebody like helps us out,
31:23
Speaker 2: like a stranger.
31:24
Speaker 1: I'm always like, that's your good deed for the day.
31:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, because my favorite thing is to say to like
31:29
Speaker 3: a d D driver, thanks for getting me home safe.
31:31
Speaker 1: Oh that's really nice.
31:34
Speaker 3: And every time I say it, I just see them like,
31:37
Speaker 3: sit up a little bit straighter.
31:39
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that I'm getting my period next week.
31:46
Speaker 1: I think, oh, watch it. Put that in your planner.
31:51
Speaker 1: Well that's the rich in life formula. Booby.
31:56
Speaker 3: We love you, and we hope you guys love the
31:59
Speaker 3: planner and the and as always, thank you so much
