• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Today we are accompanied by construction, rice field fires, barking dogs, and scooters.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: That was four, not three.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: So the beat didn't really work.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: Lions and tigers and bears.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Rice field fires and dogs and scooters and construction.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Blizzard Planet.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: This is Self-Friendship Podcast, where playfulness meets societal reflection.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine this,
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: you hopped on the band rocket and now you're on Planet Butter,
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: a world made of delicious,
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: sparkly peanut butter.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: And an adorable disco ball of self-reflection is whirling around in her transforming convertible.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for joining me in my 38th episode where I'll be sharing my answer to last
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: week's question,
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: a word replacement for compare,
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: how to eat a sandwich,
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: a perspective dance with confusion,
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: how to perpetually upgrade,
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: a party of one, what to say when someone cuts you off, and so much more.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: And as always, a brand new question at the end for all of us to self-reflect and self-connect.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: And email me if you desire, selffriendshippodcast at gmail.com.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: My answer to last week's question of the week,
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: which was,
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: what's your handwriting style and what do you think it says about your limiting beliefs?
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: So I intentionally did not do any additional research on this because I believe in
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: sometimes giving ourselves the gift of wonder.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: We have the luxury of access to all sorts of information at our literal fingertips,
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: but we don't always need to know.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: We like to know things because we're humans and our greatest skill is learning.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: This is why wonder is a gift.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: So sometimes I share things on self-friendship podcasts that are things I simply
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: wonder about,
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: but consciously choose not to research.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe later on I will, but maybe the moment will pass and my inspiration will lead me to something else.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: That said,
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: well,
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: first,
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: second,
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: I feel inclined to share,
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: which you may or may now know,
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: every day I practice writing with my dominant and non-dominant hand.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: My attitude is I'm fortunate enough to have both.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: Why not use them?
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: So my handwriting with each hand
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: is different.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: My left hand is my dominant hand and has about 15 years more practice writing than my right hand.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: So my handwriting with my left hand for the most part is pretty large and I use all
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: capital letters and I also like flow the letters together instead of picking my pen
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: up off the page.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like script in that way, but it's not script and it's not consistent at all.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: I never know when I'm going to do that.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: It just happens.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: And my right hand writing is also pretty big and I use all capital letters,
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: but I don't have a flow with it yet.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's still like really sloppy and slow.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's cute though.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: As for what I think this says about my limiting beliefs,
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: maybe the fact that I tend to write with large letters and take up a lot of space
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: while also flowing my letters together.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: I think that might mean.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: that my limiting beliefs,
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: though they're present,
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: they don't concern me and I'm willing to acknowledge and transcend them in a bold,
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: spacious way.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's the best I got.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know what you come up with.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: SelfFriendshipPodcast at gmail.com.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now a word replacement for compare.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Relate.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: That's what we're really doing.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: I landed on this one when I was doing my daily writing with both hands.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: I wrote, it's fun to see what my left brain says related to my right.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: Because when I write with my left hand, I'm stimulating my right hemisphere of my brain.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: And when I'm writing with my right hand, I'm stimulating the left part of my brain.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: So I figure I have to be producing different ideas and sentences because of the
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: difference in stimulation.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I think it's extra cool to relate the two.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's what strengthens my analytically creative ways.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: relating the two.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: If I were comparing the two,
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: I would be compartmentalizing them from one another as if they are separate entities,
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: but really it's my one whole brain.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now how to eat a sandwich.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: I thought of this when I was eating a giant tuna melt on sourdough with avocado,
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: jalapenos and cheddar cheese.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: It was really good.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I was sitting next to the pool at my spa here in Bali just to set the scene.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't already know this,
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: the key to eating a big giant sandwich that's very messy is to never put it down
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: once you start.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: You can rest your hands while holding the sandwich.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: Take some breaths.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: have a laugh, chat with a friend, but never let go of the sandwich.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now, let's consider that our hands are our adult self, and the sandwich is our childhood self.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Our childhood self is big and messy, right?
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Years of development, years of conditioning,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Lot of stuff going on there.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: But our adult self has the ability to hold our child self.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: Gradually,
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: we take little bites out of our childhood self,
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: savoring each moment as we self-reflect and self-connect.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: And over time, as we digest those pieces of our childhood, there's less of the messy sandwich.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: And our hands, our adult selves are freer.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: Come on.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's a good one.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: A perspective dance with confusion.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: I said this in passing to someone the other day and it struck me as equal parts funny and valuable.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: So here we are.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: Confusion is the most fun part of learning.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: I love to be confused.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: If I'm not confused, I'm probably not learning enough.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Are you confused?
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: I hope so.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: That means you're learning.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yay.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: Beautifully following the previous little note, how to perpetually upgrade.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do it, guys.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: We are creatures of learning.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: It is our greatest skill set.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: So with the understanding that we are ever learning,
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: we can shift our focus to recognize that in moments of challenge or seemingly
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: negative experiences,
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: we can realize that the universe is asking us,
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: are you willing to upgrade?
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you do the shit that you know you need and want to do,
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: The universe, which is infinite, which means abundance, we live in abundance.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: While we are here to perpetually learn, we can perpetually upgrade as well.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: Match the lessons with the abundance of the universe and realize that our evolution
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: is designed to perpetually upgrade.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: When you practice self-friendship, embracing, understanding, and enjoying ourselves.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Honor your boundaries, become more confident, and be more in alignment, and get those damn upgrades.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: You can do it.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, now a self-friendship article snippet from August 14th, 2024, titled, Everything We Do Is Art.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Ickle.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: So good.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: I can't not appreciate that article starts with art and I can't help be,
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: I can't help,
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: but be curious about the suffix.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: And as you may or may now know,
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: I love to focus on a fact and nurture it with my playfulness and optimism.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: Therein lies my so-called perspective dancing.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Here on Planet Butter, we'll define art as human expression.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: ickle,
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: which I giggle at every time I say,
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: you,
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: I first want to appreciate that ickle on its own from an English alphabet standpoint,
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: without knowing its history,
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: which I will share in a moment,
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: would be pronounced as icel.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: However,
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: because the term article is commonly used in the English language,
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: we've all been conditioned to pronounce it as ickle.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: Now that we've appreciated the silliness of ickle,
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: let's be our playfully intellectual selves and appreciate that ickle on its own
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: derives from the Latin diminutive words,
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: The Latin diminutive suffix,
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: iculus,
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: which is used to indicate something that is a small part of something larger.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Article.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Human expression plus a small part of something larger.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: We can view every single action that we take as an article.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: Every action being a small form of our human expression.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Art.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: and the individual action as a small part of our whole selves and the universe at large.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: Ickle.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Planet Butters mission, united individualism, independently, together.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: Articles.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: Our self-friendship practice is our human expression, our existence, our conscious creativity, our art.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm, a note on the English language.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: You know how sometimes parts of a word or letters in English are pronounced
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: differently based on the other letters in the word,
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: like how I just referenced with the term article?
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's the same with our self-friendship practice.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Who we surround ourselves with alters how we show up, how we are received, perceived, and expressed.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: Think about that.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a party of one.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: As a loving reminder,
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: party of one means having fun with oneself,
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: for oneself,
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: as oneself,
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: anywhere,
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: everywhere,
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: no matter who's there.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: We become our party of one by consistently practicing self-friendship.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: Each episode,
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: I share little tidbits from my life that happened thanks to me showing up as my
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: party of one.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: So walking on the streets of Canggu in Bali is absurd because every single scooter
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: that doesn't have a passenger on it,
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: the driver that passes always asks,
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: miss,
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: miss,
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: ride,
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: miss,
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: where are you going?
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: Some of them are hustling, some are flirting, and some think it's funny, which I heavily respect.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: However, if I wanted a ride, I would not be walking.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: I would already be on my ride.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: So it can be really fucking annoying to be constantly talked at when I'm trying to enjoy my walk.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: And it's especially annoying if I'm on the phone or voice noting and someone's
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: yelling in my face,
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: distracting me.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: My focus is very precious.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of the time,
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: I unfortunately have to ignore them because I don't want to invest my energy in
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: responding to every single scooter who abruptly enters my personal space.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: So in my party of one ways...
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes when I feel like answering them, I started saying, where are you going?
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: Because they go, where are you going?
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you going?
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: And I go, where are you going?
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's just simple and silly.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: And when they beep at me to get my attention, I'll look at them and I say, beep, beep.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: I thought about buying a little horn to walk around with.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: but I don't really want to spend my time on that at all.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: But it would be fun.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: Nonetheless, I think these answers are really funny.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: And usually they laugh too, which makes it extra funny.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I actually want to highlight once more how I don't answer many of them because
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: I do notice that a lot of people say,
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: no,
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: thank you.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: Every time they're offered a ride.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I just want to remind everyone, you actually don't need to be polite all of the time.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we need to conserve our energy and they're invading your personal space.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Your boundary can be ignoring them.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's perfectly okay.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: What to say when someone cuts you off, speaking of scooters and traffic and such.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: Say to yourself, it must be really important.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: And say it in a funny voice to make yourself laugh.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: So like, it must be really important.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: Something that you will laugh at.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: It'll diffuse any momentary frustration you initially experience.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: Don't take it
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: personally.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: You didn't get cut off.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: Someone else has whatever their priorities are.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: You have yours and also chill out.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's okay.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: You'll get where you want to be or need to be whenever you're meant to and the
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: timing will be how it's meant to.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now a note on self doubt.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: Self doubt can show up in a healthy dose.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: Healthy doubt equals discomfort and preparation.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: Oftentimes,
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: we're doubting ourselves in relation to something new,
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: exciting,
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: or intimidating,
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: or all three.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: This can be healthy.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: When we think or feel doubt in relation to any of these types of experiences,
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: we can remind ourselves that it's part of the process of receiving our upgrade.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: Our willingness to upgrade
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: is reflected to us throughout these moments of what is naturally oscillation,
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: wavering between who we've been and who we're becoming.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: Who we've been subconsciously feels safer,
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: so we need to demonstrate our willingness to receive our upgrade to both ourselves
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: and the universe by consciously overriding our subconscious in these moments of doubt.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: We do this by consistently reminding ourselves that this discomfort is preparation for that upgrade.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: That we are upgrading.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: Then the doubt perspective dances into optimism.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: When we are solution-oriented and have an undying optimism,
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: we create the foundation for the willingness to have fun while embracing,
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's a daily practice.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Have fun with your life by becoming best friends with yourself and perpetually upgrade.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: Again, are you willing to upgrade?
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: Go get your upgrade.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with low energy.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: We can be high vibes and low energy.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: Think of low energy as relaxation rather than low mood.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: When we are relaxed, we are happy, just calm.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: Too often, low energy is correlated to low mood and low vibes.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: Consider it.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: Knowing better versus being better.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: Our self-talk is a conversation between who we want to be and who we've been.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's the dance between knowing better and being better.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's responding to the mirrors around us and identifying which mirrors we want to
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: continue to look in and which we want to respond to differently.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: When we experience a triggering interaction,
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_00: we can optimize these moments by doubling down on our self-friendship practice.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: We can intensely self-connect and self-reflect during each and every confronting
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: interaction by asking ourselves,
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: is this a mirror of who I want to be or who I've been?
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: And, or, how would I respond to this if I were already the person that I want to be?
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: Marinate on it, write it down.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I love this one.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: One plus one equals eight.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: One whole who is embodying self-friendship and another one whole person who is
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: embodying self-friendship coming together equals eight,
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: which is abundance,
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: infinity.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: Planet Butter's mission is united individualism, independent, together.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: One plus one equals eight.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: One whole plus one whole equals eight.
• 18:51

  SPEAKER_00: A perspective dance with rejection.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: I don't believe in rejection.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: In all facets of life, I don't get rejected.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a voice actor in industry where people love to talk about how often they get rejected.

  SPEAKER_00: But that's all a perspective game.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Hence why we're here, a perspective dance.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: There's either alignment or there's not.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: And whatever's meant for me is meant for me.

  SPEAKER_00: Sure, in someone else's mind, they may have rejected me, but that's their perspective.

• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: makes me giggle because I don't think I've ever heard anybody use that phrase in a
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: humble way.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: The mere fact that someone is saying they or their opinion is humble is indeed not humble.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's mostly used as sarcasm or to reduce the pressure from the person speaking.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: In other words,
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: to limit responsibility or ownership of the opinion,
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: which in my humble arrogant,
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: that's the blizzard's dictionary word opinion is really fucking lame.
