  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship is the daily practice of embracing, understanding, and enjoying ourselves.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: The more we practice, the sooner we embody our party of one, which is having fun with ourselves, for ourselves, and
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: As Ourselves Anywhere Everywhere No matter who's there The key to understanding self-friendship and my greater mission of united individualism is the two ends of the spectrum required to create this cultural shift Adults and kids Adults have been conditioned out of their parties of one which is why I start adults with practicing self-friendship
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: so they can return to their innate party of one kids are born as their party of one and when they're surrounded by a culture of adults who practice self-friendship the kids can be conditioned into their self-friendship practice allowing them to sustain their already existing party of one rather than perpetuating the current cycle of conditioning people out of their party of one
• 1:18

  SPEAKER_00: Today I will be sharing with you guys my answer to last week's question, what an emotional growth spurt is, why based on a true story doesn't mean shit, a time saver tip, why in the
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: The three places people have in our lives, what a state of confusion actually is, two party of one stories, a lucky penny story, a new mantra, and then we'll finish up with a brand new question for you to self-reflect, self-connect, and email me if you so desire.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: This sincerely might be my favorite lineup yet, so let's get into it.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Question from last week was, how do you react when a
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: I love this.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so last Christmas, yeah, this past Christmas, I was walking around New York City in a Fi-Di at Seaport.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: So they had this Target activation Christmas theme thing set up and I'm walking around and I was like, Oh, Christmas fun.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: So I
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: but well I thought it was fun from afar but I definitely didn't want to go in there because it was just like flocked and full of tourists and I was high and enjoying the water so that wasn't really calling me but then somehow I ended up walking around the back and entered through the back completely unintentionally and as I got through the back there was this guy standing by one of like the activation things I can't think of a word for it uh
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: and he has this giant gift bag I guess and he's just handing out gifts and I was just sincerely asking him like since I ended up there I was like hey what's the deal you're just handing out gifts or is this like interactive like what's what is the deal here and this man looks at me and he goes we're closing it's time to go and just like straight attitude and I was like oh cool yeah no worries but I'm just trying to understand like what this even is and he's like
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's time to go and I genuinely like I wasn't like computing the attitude because I was just so sincerely being curious and I just I wasn't I wasn't taking it personally which is very important to note and out loud I look at him and I go oh you're being mean have a good night and I've never seen someone look more confused in my life
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: it was pretty phenomenal so that's how I react when a stranger gives me attitude I don't even realize it I mean okay sometimes I did realize it after the fact but the key part is that I didn't immediately take it personally and be combative back to him because I was so in my own world just being my curious self that it I didn't realize that he was being a dick
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I feel like that could be beneficial to everybody because obviously he is unhappy with something in his own life.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: It had nothing to do with me asking a simple question.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: They might have been closing but there were still hundreds of people standing around him and he was still passing out gifts so I don't know why he gave attitude to the one person not asking for a gift and just asking a question but that's okay.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: So make of that what you will and let me know your answer.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now, an emotional growth spurt.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: When your emotional development rapidly increases.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: I love when I have these.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: They're such a powerful shift in energy.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'll go through life as I do, practicing my self-friendship, and there's always a little phase of time where my reflections intensify and my observations of the details of my life and how they relate to my development start to look different.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: The more I lean into observing, the more I learn, and the more my perspective evolves, the more my emotional growth expands.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: As I allow this to unfold, I eventually have one of those kind of aha moments.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: It usually involves a lot of writing and a healthy cry to release the energy and feelings that come with whatever perspectives I've shifted from.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: This becomes a breakthrough and when this breakthrough happens, it's what I call an emotional growth spurt.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: Even though much time has passed where I've played with the perspectives and the evolution has occurred that final writing and crying session as it usually is for me feels like a sudden shift which would be the growth spurt.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: I wake up feeling lighter different mature if you will and
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: all right now why based on a true story doesn't mean shit based on is like saying inspired by idea from some parts sort of resemble something that similarly happened unless something says documentary it's just a lot of embellishment because it's a movie it's entertainment or it's a tv show
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: it's make-believe it's play it's fun it's creativity and it's magic such is life but the lens that we're looking through is one being directed so our perspective is that of whatever it's designed to be whereas off screen our perspective is whatever we choose it to be marinate on that no
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: Time saver tip.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: I reorganize the apps and folders on my phone to put all the ones that I truly use the most on my home screen.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe that a lot of other people have done this already.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: But because I haven't, I'm like, well, there must be other people who haven't.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I thought I'd share with you.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: Episode 14
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in the name of self-friendship, why I'm a nightmare to sit next to on planes.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: Bear with me on this one.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: I love talking about this.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: I've got self-friendship news for you guys.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: If you get annoyed at other people for taking care of themselves while flying on a crowded plane, you probably need to increase your self-friendship practice efforts.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: This is just another reason why I will have my Planet Butter jet, PBJ.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a perceivable nightmare to the common mind because I get up to pee a lot, I bring a lot of food, I change seating positions often, and I do a lot of different activities in my seat.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now, hear me out, please, and listen closely.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: I pee a lot because I stay hydrated physical health I bring a lot of food to stay full also physical health which is honestly these are all physical mental emotional because food is fuel okay anyway honestly and I understand knocking me for this
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, this is a big one to reveal.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: I have brought tuna sandwiches, yeah, plural, on flights a handful of times.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is not a great excuse but it's high protein and trust me, you'd rather smell tuna for a minute than sit next to me being hangry for however long the
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Episode 14 Where Attitude Meets Blissorance
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm biased to my own curiosity and I don't get upset about those things so I forget that other people do and I've had a few people tell me that tuna on a plane is not cool.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, now I change the way I sit a lot because my body and the human body is not designed to sit in a chair for hours on end and so I don't.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: and fortunately I am small enough to sit in different positions within my personal seated area so I do again physical health
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I also change activities frequently because flying is a thriving work environment for me.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: This is good for my mental and emotional well-being.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: I do my best work in flight.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: My activities switch from writing in my journal, doodling, computer stuff, movies, music, meditation, and of course, eating.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: Sure, this might be perceived as entitled, but my hope is that everyone feels entitled to do what they need to do for themselves or
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: So long as it's within reason of taking care of your body's basic necessities while traveling on an object that defies gravity with hundreds of other people all sitting within millimeters of each other.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't understand why sacrificing our well-being by not drinking water and not eating much food or moving your body is considered considerate on a plane by so many people the irony is that people who think this way are actually inconsiderate of both themselves and others if we want to be truly considerate everyone would support each other in taking care of themselves and not get annoyed when someone in the middle or window seat has to get up to pee multiple times on a flight
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine someone saying, ugh, I can't believe that girl is getting up to pee again.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: Versus someone saying, yeah girl, stay hydrated.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad I get to stand up too and move my body a little bit.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Better environment, I'd say.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: Happier people, happier bodies, happy minds, friendly and supportive atmosphere.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: If you're still not sold, I'll leave you with this question.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Which of these two people do you trust to be sitting in the exit row?
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you and please keep your seatbelt fastened while seated on the aircraft.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the three places people have in our lives.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: In our way, beside us, or behind us.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, there's those who are on their way and sometimes those behind us become beside us and sometimes beside us becomes in our way or behind us.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's all a matter of time.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: At any given present moment though, every person in our life is either in our way, beside us, or behind us.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: The path for growth is to remove those in our way, expand with those beside us, and be grateful for those behind us.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: And now what a state of confusion actually is.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: A state of confusion is just a state of learning.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: Party of one story.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: After flying for 15 hours and only having a 24-hour layover in Seoul, I was determined to make the most of my trip, so I needed to have a very delicious meal.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Lo and behold, after getting lost on the subway and spending a lot of time in the airport figuring out how to buy a ticket without having the cash exchange because it was closed and all these other obstacles that were very fun adventures, I found myself at this restaurant called Chunglok Minari.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: and I made friends with Dayu if he might be listening because he has to follow me on Instagram so if you're listening hi Dayu it was such a pleasant and delicious and fun meal and the restaurant wasn't even on Google Maps yet so I just opened up the maps and me and Dayu put it on the map so you know how people say like oh they really put this place on the map I literally put it on Google Maps I added it so how about that literally and figuratively putting a place on the map
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: that was my party of one now another party of one in my last six hours in Seoul I got lost on the subway yet again I got lost on the subway a lot there
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: and I asked the lady for directions but she gave me not accurate directions for my intention of where I was going so they just weren't towards the destination that my intention was but because of that misdirection I ended up trying slash discovering and trying this incredible freshly made bread that was so crunchy on the outside and squishy on the inside and it was filled with cheese and meat and onions and it was so good and then I got back on the subway and actually ended up going in the wrong direction again
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: but it was all part of the adventure and so I had fun when I went backwards and backwards like backwards for my intentions but the point is
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: Our intentions are one thing, but the outcomes are not necessarily in our control.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: So we need to have fun along the way if you want to enjoy life.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a lucky penny story.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a while since I shared one of these.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: When I'm traveling, I still find lucky pennies in other currencies.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever their penny equivalent is, it's wild.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Also, while I was in Seoul, well, about to leave, my flight was in a short three hours and I was an hour from the airport.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: I decided to squeeze one last delicious meal in before I left I was gonna take the subway but I was nervous considering how many times I got lost already but I figured fuck it it'll work out so I enjoyed my meal extremely quickly and then my ticket to the train expired so I had to get a new one but I was too low on
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: Ta-da!
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: my lucky pennies always affirm for me I'm where I'm supposed to be hooray and then yes I did make my flight with plenty of time now a new mantra my dream is my reality my dream is my reality and finally the question that we're going to end on for this week
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: on a flight are you a person who thinks to themselves ugh I can't believe that person is going to pee again or are you a person who thinks yeah girl stay hydrated I'm glad I get to stand up too and move my body a little bit do do do alright think about it let me know keep your eyes out for Planit Butter Party of One book hard copies coming so soon updated art is sick and Self Friendship Podcast obviously every Thursday Wednesday
