• 1:03
  weeks, we'll officially be on the air four
• 1:05
  years in a row.

  Wow, a big round of applause there, I
• 1:08
  know.
• 1:09
  And we'll be starting our fifth year, so
• 1:10
  really excited about that.
• 1:12
  Lots to come in 2025, including an automated
• 1:15
  AI system to vet our guests and schedules.
• 1:18
  So we're really excited about that.
• 1:20
  And that's coming up probably around Q2 of
• 1:23
  2026.
• 1:24
  So again, welcome everyone to the show.
• 1:26
  Thank you so much for being here.
• 1:27
  It means so much to have you here
• 1:28
  with me on the show.
• 1:31
  And I think we'll probably just get right
• 1:33
  into it because I've got so much to
• 1:35
  share with you.
• 1:36
  And I know that you're definitely going to,
• 1:39
  how can I say, appreciate what I've got.
• 1:41
  So let's kick this off.
• 1:43
  So you're tuned into the ever popular, yes,
• 1:46
  powerful show of Inspirations for Your Life.
• 1:52
  It's the daily, guys, it's the daily motivational
• 1:55
  show.
• 1:56
  And a lot of people, when you think
• 1:58
  about motivation, I think sometimes they just get
• 2:02
  a little bit confused.
• 2:04
  They're not really sure why things are working
• 2:06
  a certain way or why they're doing something.
• 2:09
  But the thing is, when we think about
• 2:13
  motivation and we think about the fact that
• 2:18
  what I do here, which is I help
• 2:20
  you think, I help you become stronger, I
• 2:23
  help you lead and help you own your
• 2:25
  life on purpose.
• 2:26
  By the way, this is John Seymour, serial
• 2:28
  entrepreneur.
• 2:30
  I'm an engineer, I'm a marketing specialist, I'm
• 2:32
  a video producer, podcast host, coach, graduate student,
• 2:35
  and yes, guys, a passionate lifelong learner.
• 2:38
  And it is my privilege and pleasure to
• 2:40
  be here with you as someone who has
• 2:41
  spent years building businesses, creating content and coaching
• 2:46
  people just like you to turn everyday moments
• 2:50
  into real impact.
• 2:51
  Are you ready?
• 2:52
  So today we are getting into a very
• 2:56
  important point.
• 2:59
  And I think some of these points, sometimes
• 3:02
  people don't necessarily get what these points stand
• 3:06
  for, but I'm here to shed some light
• 3:08
  on them and let you know that there
• 3:12
  is so much more that you guys can
• 3:15
  do.
• 3:16
  I mean, I think believing is a huge,
• 3:20
  huge thing.
• 3:22
  That a lot of people don't get.
• 3:24
  Belief is a big thing, right?
• 3:27
  And a lot of people around you sometimes
• 3:31
  feel that what they're doing is not possible.
• 3:36
  Sometimes people get frustrated because of what's happening.
• 3:42
  And I know, guys, how this can affect
• 3:45
  people.
• 3:46
  I know that you're on this path and
• 3:48
  sometimes you don't get where you wanna be
• 3:50
  because of some obstacle in the road.
• 3:52
  But I wanna tell you that it's that
• 3:54
  obstacle in the road that actually is gonna
• 3:56
  help you achieve your success.
• 3:58
  Yes, guys, achieving your success, that's what we're
• 4:02
  all about.
• 4:04
  And so when we think about success or
• 4:07
  we think about what success, a success could
• 4:09
  be fame, it could be money, it could
• 4:11
  be some people, it could be power, right?
• 4:16
  So there's a lot to this.
• 4:19
  And I think just starting to understand who
• 4:21
  you are and how you operate and what
• 4:24
  you bring to the world, I think that's
• 4:26
  a very important thing for a lot of
• 4:29
  us to start realizing, starting to understand because
• 4:34
  this is what it's about, guys.
• 4:36
  This is all what it's about.
• 4:39
  And I know sometimes we get thrown off
• 4:42
  our rocker, right?
• 4:43
  And so this is really, really important because
• 4:46
  it's our belief that creates our reality.
• 4:49
  And again, we have a powerful week here
• 4:52
  coming up for the Inspirations for Your Show.
• 4:55
  It's the Daily Motivational Show.
• 4:57
  It helps you think, of course, as we
• 4:59
  said, but it helps you become very, very
• 5:02
  wise.
• 5:04
  And I think being wise is something that
• 5:06
  a lot of people, sometimes they miss the
• 5:09
  boat on feeling wise, right?
• 5:11
  I think that happens because they're basically trying
• 5:17
  to achieve something.
• 5:18
  And then for whatever reason, they don't achieve
• 5:20
  it because of something somebody else says.
• 5:24
  And so thinking about all of this, right,
• 5:27
  can be a little challenging.
• 5:30
  And so I like to encourage you to
• 5:33
  do some very powerful things.
• 5:37
  And they all start with one concept.
• 5:42
  The concept, as you all, in case you
• 5:43
  didn't know, it is belief.
• 5:46
  Yeah, it is belief.
• 5:49
  And belief is that magic sauce that can
• 5:52
  transform us from someone that's trying to do
• 5:56
  something to someone that has done amazing and
• 5:59
  has succeeded so well.
• 6:01
  But there are gonna be some pitfalls along
• 6:04
  the way.
• 6:05
  I mean, unfortunately, guys, that is just one
• 6:09
  of the caveats of life.
• 6:11
  And so when we think about this and
• 6:13
  we think about what's happening and we think
• 6:16
  about where we're going and how this can
• 6:19
  pace, I think it's a very important thing
• 6:24
  to definitely understand.
• 6:27
  How do you show up in the world
• 6:28
  for people?
• 6:29
  Do you say one thing or do you
• 6:32
  say something else?
• 6:33
  Do you really stick to what you mean?
• 6:37
  Or are you about something that's not really
• 6:41
  clear?
• 6:43
  Okay?
• 6:45
  So I think what I wanna share with
• 6:47
  you today is the first point, which is
• 6:48
  to treat every interaction like it matters.
• 6:52
  Okay?
• 6:54
  Like it matters.
• 6:57
  And that's important, guys.
• 7:02
  Understanding things, how they matter and what they
• 7:05
  do in our lives, I think that can
• 7:07
  really give us, how can I say?
• 7:11
  It can give us a kind of like
• 7:15
  a launch pad of where we're at.
• 7:18
  And so sometimes we don't necessarily get like
• 7:26
  all the directions.
• 7:27
  Okay?
• 7:28
  So I wanna tell you that you're smarter
• 7:32
  than you actually believe you are.
• 7:35
  Okay?
• 7:36
  I know you're probably saying to John, like,
• 7:37
  you know, I don't get that, but I
• 7:40
  wanna tell you this because I think some
• 7:42
  people, okay, some people out there just don't
• 7:45
  really get, they don't get the point.
• 7:52
  And that's a very crazy thing to understand
• 7:57
  is that when people don't get that point,
• 8:00
  it's like they don't necessarily know where they
• 8:02
  wanna go.
• 8:03
  They don't know what they wanna do, but
• 8:06
  all they know is that they wanna achieve
• 8:09
  greatness in life.
• 8:11
  Right?
• 8:11
  They wanna achieve that greatness, but for whatever
• 8:13
  reason, they don't achieve it.
• 8:17
  And that can frustrate a lot of people,
• 8:20
  you know, to say that this is one
• 8:22
  thing and that I'm here, but then I'm
• 8:24
  not achieving what I want.
• 8:25
  It's not because you can't, guys.
• 8:30
  It's because of a belief.
• 8:32
  Okay?
• 8:33
  And all of our episodes here are very
• 8:34
  powerful.
• 8:36
  And you know, whether we're talking about something
• 8:38
  that is a trivial fact, whether we're talking
• 8:42
  about something that has major impact, approaching things,
• 8:48
  having new knowledge is what gives us the
• 8:51
  ability to rise.
• 8:54
  Guys, I'm here to bring you authentic, practical,
• 8:57
  and heartfelt inspiration that helps you see the
• 9:01
  light, even when, well, the world around you
• 9:03
  feels a little dim.
• 9:07
  Today, we're diving into something deeply human.
• 9:10
  What to do when life feels heavy?
• 9:13
  I know what happens.
• 9:14
  And how to find small sparks that remind
• 9:17
  you hope still exists.
• 9:20
  So as I said, grab that favorite drink,
• 9:23
  take a deep breath, and let's walk together
• 9:26
  into the light one gentle moment at a
• 9:29
  time.
• 9:29
  You ready?
• 9:30
  Number one, if this season with the holidays
• 9:33
  is feeling, well, a bit heavy, you're not
• 9:36
  alone.
• 9:37
  Nothing is wrong with you.
• 9:38
  Let's start right there, okay?
• 9:40
  Because too often, we think heaviness means something's
• 9:44
  broken within us.
• 9:46
  But the truth is, when things feel heavy,
• 9:49
  it's a sign that you've been carrying a
• 9:51
  lot.
• 9:52
  You're processing, adapting, surviving.
• 9:56
  That isn't weakness, guys.
• 9:58
  That's strength.
• 9:59
  The first step to light is acknowledging that
• 10:02
  you're human, not a machine.
• 10:06
  And I think sometimes that can be hard
• 10:09
  to grasp.
• 10:11
  So ladies and gentlemen, please give yourself credit
• 10:13
  for showing up.
• 10:15
  That's one of the hardest things to do
• 10:16
  in this world, is to keep showing up
• 10:18
  consistently.
• 10:19
  Number two, you don't need a good day.
• 10:23
  You just need one gentle moment.
• 10:25
  Forget the pressure of constant happiness.
• 10:28
  Life isn't measured in perfect days.
• 10:30
  It's measured in moments that make you breathe
• 10:33
  easier.
• 10:34
  Maybe it's the smell of coffee, your favorite
• 10:37
  song, or stepping outside for a minute of
• 10:40
  quiet.
• 10:41
  One soft, kind moment can change the rhythm
• 10:45
  of your entire day.
• 10:48
  Number three, let's normalize answering, okay?
• 10:54
  How are you, with something real?
• 10:57
  We all say, I'm fine, even when we're
• 11:00
  not.
• 11:01
  Let's break that habit.
• 11:03
  When someone asks how you are, try giving
• 11:06
  an honest answer like, it's been a long
• 11:08
  week, but I'm still going well.
• 11:11
  Authentic connections start when we drop the mask
• 11:15
  and let someone actually see us for who
• 11:18
  we are.
• 11:19
  Number four, you're allowed to make your own
• 11:23
  traditions from scratch, yeah, that's right.
• 11:27
  The season often comes wrapped in expectations, but
• 11:29
  you're free to start your own story anytime.
• 11:33
  Maybe it's movie night with friends or taking
• 11:35
  a walk under the stars.
• 11:37
  Traditions are about meaning, not rules.
• 11:41
  Create yours with true intention and joy.
• 11:45
  Number five, guys, three tiny rituals that make
• 11:49
  dark evenings less brutal.
• 11:51
  Light a candle, play one soft song that
• 11:54
  lifts your spirit.
• 11:56
  Write a single line in a gratitude journal.
• 11:59
  Not a list, just one good thing.
• 12:01
  These may seem small, but they're symbolic lights,
• 12:05
  steady reminders that you have the power to
• 12:09
  brighten even the darkest corners of your mind.
• 12:13
  Number six, guys, your room lighting is messing
• 12:17
  with your mood.
• 12:18
  So fix it.
• 12:19
  In five minutes, this might surprise you, but
• 12:21
  lighting shapes emotions.
• 12:25
  Harsh, cold lighting can amplify stress or sadness.
• 12:30
  Try adding a warm tone lamp or dimmer
• 12:32
  bulbs.
• 12:33
  Your environment can literally shift your mindset comfort.
• 12:38
  Your eyes and your heart will follow.
• 12:41
  A while back, I had gotten one of
• 12:42
  these professional lights for our studio.
• 12:44
  And not only can we change the brightness,
• 12:48
  we can actually change the warmth.
• 12:50
  So whether it's gonna be tungsten or whether
• 12:53
  it's daylight, and you get a completely different
• 12:56
  feeling depending on that light setting.
• 12:59
  Number seven, you can be grateful and still
• 13:02
  tired, but can be true.
• 13:06
  Gratitude doesn't erase exhaustion.
• 13:08
  You can appreciate life's blessings and still feel
• 13:11
  drained when you accept that both emotions can
• 13:15
  exist, coexist, I should say.
• 13:17
  You release the guilt of not being positive
• 13:20
  enough.
• 13:21
  It's okay to be grateful and human.
• 13:24
  Number eight, if your feed makes you feel
• 13:26
  behind, curate one soft landing account.
• 13:30
  Social media can steal our light if we're
• 13:33
  not careful.
• 13:34
  Follow creators who inspire you to be calm,
• 13:37
  not competition.
• 13:39
  Build a feed that feels like a breath
• 13:41
  of fresh air because your digital world influences
• 13:44
  your inner one.
• 13:46
  And I think that's one that a lot
• 13:47
  of people don't realize.
• 13:48
  Our digital life is shaping our real life.
• 13:52
  Number nine, your younger self would be shocked
• 13:55
  you made it this far, in a good
• 13:57
  way.
• 13:58
  Think of everything you've been through, the challenges
• 14:01
  you once didn't think you'd survive.
• 14:05
  You did.
• 14:06
  Your younger self would be proud, amazed, and
• 14:09
  relieved that you're still carrying forward.
• 14:13
  Now honor that and progress by believing in
• 14:17
  what's next.
• 14:19
  You just started writing your journey and your
• 14:21
  story and you could change, you can evolve.
• 14:25
  Remember, you're the director of it.
• 14:27
  Do anything you want.
• 14:29
  Number 10, guys, you don't have to cheer
• 14:31
  up.
• 14:32
  You just have to show up for yourself.
• 14:34
  You're not obligated to fake smiles or forced
• 14:36
  joy.
• 14:37
  Showing up, brushing your teeth, making your bed,
• 14:41
  or simply breathing through the moment is enough.
• 14:45
  Real strength is consistency, not constant cheer.
• 14:50
  So let these ideas guide you through.
• 14:54
  Remember, your light doesn't need to blind the
• 14:59
  darkness.
• 15:01
  It just needs to exist.
• 15:04
  And I think sometimes we get so heavy.
• 15:10
  I'll give you a perfect example.
• 15:11
  So before I was getting on the plane,
• 15:14
  just less than 24 hours ago, there was
• 15:17
  a lot that had to get done.
• 15:19
  I'm gonna say probably 20 things within two
• 15:22
  days.
• 15:23
  And that was a lot.
• 15:25
  I got them all done.
• 15:27
  I took a breath.
• 15:28
  I did my very best.
• 15:30
  And I came through.
• 15:31
  Now, when I got to Florida, I was
• 15:33
  extremely tired, not to lie about that.
• 15:37
  And went to bed, got up in the
• 15:39
  morning.
• 15:40
  I think it was around 10, 10, 15.
• 15:43
  Had breakfast.
• 15:44
  And then after that, I took a shower
• 15:47
  and got dressed.
• 15:49
  And then I sat on the couch and
• 15:52
  I just closed my eyes to relax for
• 15:53
  a little bit to the music.
• 15:54
  And before I knew it, I was actually
• 15:56
  off to dreamland because my body needed a
• 15:59
  break.
• 16:02
  Being heavy is not wrong.
• 16:06
  Being heavy allows us to sense the moment
• 16:09
  that we're in.
• 16:12
  A lot of people I know avoid the
• 16:14
  heavy moments because they don't necessarily want to
• 16:17
  be part of a heavy situation.
• 16:19
  They don't want to feel a certain way.
• 16:23
  But I'm here to tell you that our
• 16:25
  feeling is what life is about.
• 16:27
  We're here to create moments, to enjoy them,
• 16:31
  to be challenged.
• 16:35
  We're here in this universe to be able
• 16:40
  to take those heavy moments and to soften
• 16:44
  them.
• 16:46
  Soften them with ways of being kind and
• 16:50
  compassionate to ourselves.
• 16:52
  That could be little things from rewarding ourselves
• 16:55
  with a longer shower, a bath, going to
• 16:59
  see a movie.
• 17:00
  These are the things that can help us
• 17:05
  go from point A to point B or
• 17:07
  point Z.
• 17:10
  Think of it like a railroad track.
• 17:15
  You start at one end and you get
• 17:16
  to the other.
• 17:17
  Now, this reminds me of a great story
• 17:19
  of the book.
• 17:20
  You might know the book.
• 17:21
  It was called, it was The Little Engine
• 17:23
  That Could.
• 17:23
  You remember that book?
• 17:24
  Yes, The Little Engine That Could.
• 17:28
  And it was entitled, I Think I Can.
• 17:32
  And this was a quite a remarkable book,
• 17:35
  child's tale.
• 17:38
  And so The Little Engine That Could is
• 17:40
  a classic children's story.
• 17:42
  It first was published in 1930 by Platt
• 17:44
  and Monk featuring a determined little blue engine
• 17:47
  with the famous mantra, I think I can,
• 17:49
  I think I can.
• 17:51
  And as she pulls a train of toys
• 17:52
  and food over a mountain for children in
• 17:54
  need, teaching lessons about optimism and perseverance.
• 17:58
  It's available in many editions, including the original
• 18:01
  anniversary edition and versions with different illustrations by
• 18:05
  Waddy Piper, a pen name for Arnold Monk.
• 18:09
  And so the first time I think I
• 18:11
  saw this was many years ago, it was
• 18:13
  actually on channel 13.
• 18:16
  And the core message of the book, the
• 18:20
  story is determination, positive thinking and helping others.
• 18:25
  The famous quote is, I think I can,
• 18:27
  I think I can, I think I can.
• 18:29
  The plot is a train full of toys
• 18:32
  breaks down and the other larger engines refuse
• 18:35
  to help.
• 18:37
  But a small engine agrees to try repeating
• 18:40
  her mantra as she slowly pulls it over
• 18:42
  the mountain.
• 18:43
  The legacy and enduring symbol of achieving goals
• 18:47
  through a growth mindset and perseverance.
• 18:52
  I think when we hear stories like this,
• 18:57
  it inspires us to, I'm gonna say dig
• 19:01
  deeper to maybe come up with another way
• 19:05
  to live, right?
• 19:07
  Maybe that's what it's about, maybe.
• 19:10
  Maybe it's about where we are in life.
• 19:14
  Maybe it's about how life is treating us
• 19:18
  or where life is sending us.
• 19:22
  Is it up a mountain?
• 19:24
  Is it around a mountain?
• 19:28
  Is it down a mountain?
• 19:31
  I think when we feel heavy, many people
• 19:34
  I've known, friends of mine, younger and older,
• 19:37
  they walk away from these challenges because they
• 19:40
  figure, oh, you know what?
• 19:40
  I'm either too young or I'm too old
• 19:42
  or I'm too this or I'm too that.
• 19:44
  And I don't have, or I don't have
• 19:47
  time for challenges.
• 19:50
  Well, see, it's the challenge that sets us
• 19:55
  up to become better versions of ourselves.
• 20:00
  It's not something we just do overnight.
• 20:05
  We're not gonna master this skill.
• 20:10
  Whether we're thinking about the I think I
• 20:13
  can engine, another one that kind of comes
• 20:16
  to mind is a very, an interesting one,
• 20:18
  the plot of Starlight Express.
• 20:25
  So Starlight Express is about Rusty, a young
• 20:28
  obsolete steam engine who dreams of winning the
• 20:31
  world championship railroad race to impress the beautiful
• 20:36
  observation car Pearl against modern diesel and electric
• 20:41
  engines.
• 20:42
  Finding self-belief through the legendary mystical Starlight
• 20:46
  Express, a Santa Claus figure for trains to
• 20:50
  overcome his self-doubt and prove heart and
• 20:53
  faith matter more than any technology.
• 20:57
  All performed on roller skates as a child's
• 21:01
  toy trains come to life.
• 21:04
  So this play is, let's say, interesting to
• 21:13
  me.
• 21:14
  But not only that, it has a very
• 21:16
  special place in my heart because this play
• 21:19
  was the one that I got to take
• 21:23
  friends of mine from my class in high
• 21:25
  school to go see.
• 21:26
  My parents had rented limos to go to
• 21:29
  New York and then we went for lunch.
• 21:32
  And this whole thing, when you can go
• 21:36
  to a movie or you can go to
• 21:37
  a play and you can come out with
• 21:40
  a feeling, feelings are what cause us to
• 21:45
  make the changes that we can in our
• 21:49
  lives.
• 21:52
  Words can do some things, but it's the
• 21:54
  feeling that causes us to change the direction,
• 21:59
  to change our course.
• 22:02
  Feelings create manifestation.
• 22:08
  They create manifestation.
• 22:10
  And if we understand how it creates manifestation,
• 22:12
  then maybe we can be a little bit
• 22:16
  more, how can I say, a little more
• 22:20
  observant.
• 22:24
  Doesn't have to be a train.
• 22:26
  Doesn't have to be a Starlight Express.
• 22:30
  You carry your own heavy moments.
• 22:33
  Maybe these are in relationships.
• 22:36
  Maybe they're with family.
• 22:41
  Maybe they're with yourself.
• 22:44
  You're trying to achieve goals.
• 22:48
  That could be health-related, fitness-related, educational
• 22:54
  -related, financially-related.
• 23:00
  And I think when we can get into
• 23:02
  ourselves and feel something like this, it changes
• 23:06
  the who we are.
• 23:09
  And I've said to you, the who we
• 23:10
  are becomes important.
• 23:11
  When we identify with our core values.
• 23:15
  See, those are the ones that make us
• 23:18
  do or not do something.
• 23:22
  You might've heard somebody say, you know, I
• 23:23
  got a feeling.
• 23:25
  It's the feelings that we get that make
• 23:32
  us go the extra mile.
• 23:35
  I'll give you another story.
• 23:37
  Runners, like New York Marathon and other hikes
• 23:41
  and runs, sometimes it's just that extra push.
• 23:50
  And sometimes that comes from a total stranger.
• 23:54
  Sometimes it comes from a friend or a
• 23:55
  family member.
• 23:56
  Like, you've got this, you've got this.
• 23:58
  Yeah, yeah.
• 24:01
  Those are important things, guys.
• 24:05
  But just because something's heavy doesn't mean you
• 24:08
  should blow it away.
• 24:09
  Doesn't mean you shouldn't explore it.
• 24:13
  Yes, it might be challenging and a little
• 24:15
  painful, but there might be some great rewards
• 24:18
  on the other side of that.
• 24:20
  Rewards that could potentially reshape your future.
• 24:26
  Rewards that could elevate you by installing new
• 24:30
  skills so you don't run into this heaviness
• 24:34
  in the future.
• 24:35
  Maybe skills that actually can change who you
• 24:41
  are.
• 24:43
  Maybe skills that can change who you are
• 24:47
  to help others change who they wanna be.
• 24:51
  You see, as I said to you in
• 24:55
  the blind of the darkness, it just needs
• 24:57
  to exist, okay?
• 24:59
  Because every single flicker of your life, every
• 25:05
  heartbeat, every breath you take, guess what, guys?
• 25:10
  They matter.
• 25:13
  They matter.
• 25:16
  Every sound you make, every breath you take,
• 25:20
  every step you take.
• 25:23
  Remember the song, I'll Be Watching You?
• 25:27
  You should be watching you.
• 25:28
  You should be observing you, you should be
• 25:30
  celebrating you.
• 25:32
  And when the time gets heavy, be aware
• 25:38
  of why you're feeling heavy.
• 25:42
  And chances are, you may not feel heavy
• 25:45
  that much longer.
• 25:49
  It's the uncomfortability of something new that will
• 25:56
  often trip us up.
• 25:59
  This is why many people will avoid new
• 26:01
  things because they don't want new.
• 26:04
  They want comfort, they want convenient.
• 26:09
  But I said to you guys before, comfort
• 26:11
  and convenient does not lie for the same
• 26:16
  plane that success lives in.
• 26:18
  There has to be some discomfort.
• 26:20
  There has to be some growth.
• 26:24
  I didn't say pain, I said growth.
• 26:26
  I said discomfort, right?
• 26:31
  Think about that for a moment.
• 26:34
  Think about maybe the last time maybe you
• 26:36
  felt heavy.
• 26:39
  Was it doing a chore?
• 26:41
  Was it maybe reading something for someone?
• 26:46
  Was it giving a presentation in school or
• 26:48
  at work?
• 26:49
  Was the heaviness coming maybe because of something
• 26:53
  you did?
• 26:55
  Maybe something that wasn't in alignment with your
• 26:58
  integrity.
• 26:59
  These are the kinds of reasons we feel
• 27:01
  heavy sometimes.
• 27:03
  It's the universe's way of saying, hey, look,
• 27:07
  I want you to notice this.
• 27:08
  I want you to not do this in
• 27:09
  the future.
• 27:11
  So we get a heavy heart.
• 27:14
  Heaviness can also bring us sadness.
• 27:18
  Heaviness is a state we go through, but
• 27:23
  it's not a state we live in, okay?
• 27:26
  There's ups and there's downs.
• 27:28
  We don't stay heavy forever.
• 27:30
  We get in heavy and we get out
• 27:32
  of heavy.
• 27:33
  But while we're in the state of being
• 27:35
  heavy, we have to at least acknowledge how
• 27:40
  we're feeling, how our body is responding.
• 27:44
  Those are key.
