  Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Eye Opener Society. Thank you so very much
• 0:06
  for tuning in and joining me.
• 0:08
  And don't worry, my room is not on fire. That's just my incense that happens
• 0:11
  to be right in front of the camera, if you are watching this.
• 0:14
  Anyway, my name is Gary Dean. I am the host of Eye Opener Society.
• 0:18
  I am the minister of the church, Eye Opener Society. And we run this alongside
• 0:23
  our other cosmic fairy princess, Lizzie.
• 0:26
  And I wanted to talk about something that Lizzie wanted me to talk about something.
• 0:34
  I'd like to give some motivation on these Saturday morning shows.
• 0:38
  If you are joining me on a Saturday morning, that's wonderful.
• 0:41
  But whatever time that you're joining me, welcome. Thank you for tuning in.
• 0:47
  We're getting out of the season. Now, again, depending where you are,
• 0:51
  I'm on the East Coast, the United States, Pennsylvania area.
• 0:54
  And we're coming out of Basically winter And here in Pennsylvania we have false
• 1:00
  winter We have spring then we have winter again It's kind of wild But we're
• 1:05
  getting into that trend Where we're starting to break out of things,
• 1:10
  We're breaking away from the snow We're breaking away from the cold And we're
• 1:13
  starting to warm up So namely me During the winter when there's not much going
• 1:18
  on The grounds are frozen And I can't get outside as much I spend pretty much
• 1:23
  winter hibernating. Now.
• 1:27
  We need to start changing, and we need to start applying some polar opposites,
• 1:32
  I think, to the way that we live, the way that we choose to do things,
• 1:36
  the way that we function.
• 1:38
  This keeps not only the body moving, but it also keeps the soul moving.
• 1:44
  And what we mean by this is the fact that we can spend so much time doing only one thing.
• 1:52
  And regardless, if it is something that we love, that's great,
• 1:55
  and if we're doing it all the time, that's wonderful. But every now and then,
• 1:58
  why not try the polar opposite?
• 2:02
  Try something unique, something different, something that's going to spark a
• 2:05
  new interest. Or maybe you realize, no, that wasn't for me.
• 2:10
  So if you spend a lot of time watching TV and that's your thing and you love
• 2:16
  doing it and you're spending all that time in front of the television,
• 2:20
  why not try doing something else?
• 2:23
  Why not try turning that TV off and going outside? Maybe picking up a book and
• 2:26
  reading a book and maybe even reading a book based upon the movies you're watching
• 2:30
  or the TV shows that you're watching, especially if they are based upon a book that was written.
• 2:37
  Try these things. Reason for this, it's not so much just to get you to realize
• 2:43
  that there's other things that are available to you that you might actually enjoy.
• 2:49
  But again, it's to get your body moving. It's to start to get your mind to think
• 2:53
  in different directions rather than being always focused on just one thing all the time.
• 3:00
  We get up and move, get up and go outside if we're always introverted being inside.
• 3:05
  Or maybe if we're always outside, now try coming on to the inside and doing
• 3:10
  things that are indoor related.
• 3:12
  Try a new sport. Try doing something that you haven't done before.
• 3:16
  Try hiking. Or if you're hiking all the time, try bicycling.
• 3:19
  If you've been bicycling and hiking, maybe try running.
• 3:24
  Do stuff that's, you know, within your limits and, you know,
• 3:28
  within your realms of possibility.
• 3:30
  This way, your mind doesn't focus all the time just in one strict mode.
• 3:39
  Keep it changing. Keep your mind actively thinking and pursuing other possibilities within your life.
• 3:47
  This way, you can break out of things like anxiety, depression,
• 3:53
  and all this. Because when we're focused only on one thing, that's when we start to go down a tube.
• 3:59
  Now, again, there could be just total opposite of that.
• 4:03
  If you are doing the things you really like all the time, even if it is just
• 4:07
  one thing, that's good. But we don't want to keep our minds so narrow.
• 4:14
  We want to expand them. We want to try these things.
• 4:16
  We want to do things that are going to excite us to stir up a new,
• 4:22
  you know, physical reaction, uh, from deep down inside of us to say,
• 4:27
  oh, wow, I really never thought, you know, if I picked up a,
• 4:31
  paintbrush and paint tomorrow. Something I've never done, but I thought about
• 4:35
  it, and it might be something I'm going to do.
• 4:37
  But if I start putting that brush down and I start creating some,
• 4:40
  wow, great art, I would have never known unless I would have tried it.
• 4:47
  So that's why I'm putting that on my list of something to do.
• 4:51
  I know I can work on cars, so I've also expanded that in my life.
• 4:56
  I was very big into bicycling.
• 4:57
  I've expanded the mechanics into bicycles.
• 5:00
  I've tried the different forms of cycling. I've done mountain biking.
• 5:05
  I've done gravel biking. I've done a road biking. I've, I've went through those
• 5:10
  different disciplines.
• 5:12
  And then from there, I started riding motorcycles and the motorcycles,
• 5:17
  you know, same two wheel kind of pleasure, just more, you know, on the road.
• 5:21
  So it, while it might be somewhat related, I was able to keep changing things
• 5:27
  up for myself, to keep myself throughout my life changing the things I do.
• 5:32
  I went through so many hobbies, so, so many hobbies.
• 5:36
  But the difference is I figured out, hey, I didn't like this hobby,
• 5:41
  so I moved on to the next one.
• 5:43
  Hey, I really like this. But then the pleasure kind of dwindled off.
• 5:47
  When I started podcasting four years ago, I loved it. I'm still kind of in the
• 5:52
  field. I'm just calling it a show now, but that expanded.
• 5:55
  Now I've expanded that into a church.
• 5:59
  Do you not see the different possibilities that are right in front of you?
• 6:04
  Things that you can actually do, try.
• 6:07
  It's no different than when you're trying a new food, right?
• 6:09
  Or a new drink, whatever the case may be.
• 6:12
  The different tastes, the different textures, the different spices,
• 6:16
  things you never had before.
• 6:17
  And you say, Wow, I've been missing that, you know, for my life So why not just
• 6:23
  start cooking with it now?
• 6:26
  Or even better yet, I tried it and I don't like it.
• 6:30
  So now if somebody offers it to me, I can actually say, no, I don't like it
• 6:34
  because I actually did try it rather than, you know, I know a lot of people do that.
• 6:38
  They're offered an exotic food and, oh no, I'm not going to like that.
• 6:41
  But you never tried it. I always try everything.
• 6:45
  If it doesn't taste good, you could just spit it out. But this is where you
• 6:50
  start to expand yourself. When you start to expand yourself and you start to
• 6:54
  try these new things, you're also placing yourself amongst other people within those groups.
• 7:00
  And you start to expand your tribe or you just start to expand certain friendships
• 7:06
  or acquaintances or you just start to find new personalities,
• 7:10
  people that are willing to help you out.
• 7:12
  That's what Lizzie and I are trying to create with Eye Opener Society,
• 7:16
  is this very wonderful, open church where it doesn't matter what walk of life
• 7:22
  you come from, it doesn't even matter what religion you're coming from.
• 7:25
  We're going to work with you and everybody's going to work with each other.
• 7:30
  And this is how we open up our minds.
• 7:32
  I too, I'm not really a people person in my own private life,
• 7:37
  I'm really not, but I do expand myself because I do like to be outward,
• 7:42
  I do like to connect with people.
• 7:44
  It may be a smaller group, but I'm still connecting and I'm always trying to
• 7:48
  learn from other people and what their ideas are and what walks of life they come from.
• 7:54
  It's exciting to me, It's very rewarding to me to meet these people and talk
• 8:00
  with these people and help people.
• 8:02
  And that's what I'm doing with this church. So I can start to expand saying,
• 8:07
  these are the things that help me. I'm wondering if they can help you.
• 8:11
  What can you offer me to help me in areas that I might be lacking in?
• 8:18
  And there's a lot of them. Or maybe you're going to say, hey,
• 8:21
  did you ever try this? I'm going to be like, I never even heard of it. you,
• 8:26
  that's going to build up some excitement for me to where I'm going to actually
• 8:29
  want to do something and you're going to teach me.
• 8:33
  So you're going to be the ministers as well.
• 8:37
  This is a fantastic way to get yourself rising above,
• 8:43
  getting yourself off of your ass and going out there and starting to create
• 8:49
  wonderful new little side projects.
• 8:53
  And then after a while, you're going to start getting more active. this way.
• 8:57
  Being active helps with depression. Being active helps with anxiety.
• 9:02
  You know just how much you can take. Don't overdo it.
• 9:07
  Take things in small steps, small bites, small tastes.
• 9:12
  They'll eventually lead up to an entire resume of things you've done,
• 9:17
  things you've tried, things you've tasted, things you've drank.
• 9:21
  And you could say, wow, this is now all part of me.
• 9:26
  This is making me much more aware of other possibilities that are out there.
• 9:32
  It opens up your mind to other ideas. It opens up your mind to listen to other
• 9:37
  people's ideas that you wouldn't normally listen to.
• 9:42
  That is the purpose of what we are as human beings, rather than always being
• 9:50
  so introverted and so to ourselves and so strict on our ways.
• 9:56
  It's fine, should you want to be that way.
• 10:00
  It's actually good, but within your walls, maybe you want to change that scenery.
• 10:08
  Maybe you aren't just introverted.
• 10:10
  But if you start to put new things up on the wall, new decorations, new art...
• 10:16
  That will open up and expand your feelings.
• 10:21
  It'll start to excite things within you. But you got to be open-minded to it.
• 10:26
  It's not going to work if you say, oh, that's not going to work for me.
• 10:29
  Because again, that's that negativity.
• 10:31
  That's what we need to cut out of our lives completely. We need to be open to these ideas.
• 10:36
  We need to be open to even small little changes.
• 10:40
  Little steps that will lead to a grand stage that you're looking at over the entire world.
• 10:46
  Saying, this is so fantastic. I can see so much better.
• 10:51
  I can see so much more inspiration in my life.
• 10:54
  I can now inspire others.
• 10:57
  And that's the goal. That's what we would like to do. That's what we would like
• 11:01
  to open up those doors to.
• 11:04
  You can join us anytime. Reach out to us. Listen to our shows. Hopefully soon.
• 11:11
  I was going to start doing lives here on Podbean. But Podbean decides to change
• 11:16
  their entire business structure.
• 11:18
  And they're doing away with the lives. So I'm going to find other ways to do
• 11:22
  lives with Lizzie and I. It's going to take a little time. So we're still building the church.
• 11:26
  Again, we're going to need everybody's support on this to help us open it up.
• 11:33
  There's going to be some legal things that we need to get done.
• 11:36
  It's all in due time. But you know what?
• 11:39
  Again, I'm taking steps. I'm taking steps to do something I didn't think I would do.
• 11:43
  When I first had this idea, I didn't think I was going to do it.
• 11:46
  As a matter of fact, I put it on the back burner. That was my last episode,
• 11:49
  right? That I spoke about.
• 11:51
  And here I am moving forward. I just want to expand that to everybody else.
• 11:55
  I want everybody else to feel exactly what it is I'm feeling.
• 11:59
  I want people to feel excited, happy, healthy, And just learn to blossom on your own.
• 12:06
  You know, it's nice when people are out there supporting you,
• 12:10
  giving you ideas, giving you hope, giving you, you know, motivation.
• 12:14
  That's what we all need. It's great if you had your own, you know,
• 12:19
  entourage walking around with you the whole time.
• 12:22
  Giving you that support, giving
• 12:23
  you those ideas, doing the things for you that you don't like to do.
• 12:29
  That would be fantastic, but we can still do that. We can achieve these things exactly like that.
• 12:35
  The entourage is going to be everybody that joins us right here,
• 12:39
  right here on this platform, right here at High Opener Society.
• 12:42
  We can all help each other out, support each other, be each other's entourage,
• 12:48
  give each other support, give each other ideas.
• 12:52
  And that's what Lizzie and I promised to you. We're going to do that for you.
• 12:57
  So get Get yourself out there. Start exploring different things.
• 13:02
  Think about the one thing you said, oh, I would never do that. Try it.
• 13:08
  That's one way to start. As long as it's safe and it doesn't harm anyone, just go out and do it.
• 13:14
  Try it out. See if it's something you actually do like. If you do,
• 13:18
  fantastic. If you don't, you just check it off the list and you move on from there.
