Transcript
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: Welcome to ABGW.
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: Amazing, brilliant, gorgeous, wonderful, five mindful minutes for your real life, not your imaginary perfect one.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: If you're smart, capable, and secretly exhausted, you're in the right place.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: Okay, so you tried before and it you just didn't stick with it.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: You can choose structure without self-punishment, you know.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: Imagine this.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: Notice how your brain pictures a new habit.
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: You know, a habit that you've been looking at, thinking about, and thought, well, I'm not sure.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Is it big, bright, daily, flawless?
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: Is it no wonder your chest feels tight.
- 1:33SPEAKER_01: Let's turn it down.
- 1:36SPEAKER_01: Let's shrink that image into the size of a postage stamp.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: Let's desaturate the colour.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: Let's move it a further arm's length away.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: Let's rename it from I don't know, 20 minutes practice to two rounds of four in, six out after meetings.
- 2:07SPEAKER_01: Why don't you set one cue that already exists?
- 2:11SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's a calendar pop-up, maybe it's the kettle clicking off.
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: Could even be your car ignition.
- 2:20SPEAKER_01: The thing is, sooner or later you'll notice the smaller, duller pictures feel doable, and you actually do it.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: That's sticking.
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: So your tiny action today, if you choose to accept it, is to pick one cue you already have, an anchor, maybe one breath pattern there.
- 2:48SPEAKER_01: If it helps, it's like a reward.
- 2:52SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
- 2:54SPEAKER_01: The thing is, it's about taking action.
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: Next time, now isn't the right time.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: Maybe after this performance review.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: Let's zoom out and take back choice.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: If you're feeling unsafe or overwhelmed, please reach out for appropriate professional support, including myself, because you're allowed help.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Because every step you take, no matter how small, is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future.
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: Trust in your journey and remember, progress is progress no matter the pace.
