  SPEAKER_00: You made it, you made it.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: You actually made it to Sunday.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: And not just any Sunday, my friend.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: You made it to Slow Down Sunday.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Slow down Sunday here on the Sweet Spot where we slow down, we take a breath, and we catch up.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, we've been in a series called You Don't Need a New You.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: And we find ourselves today in the final episode.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: Slow down and remember, stillness helps everything settle.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: Good morning, good afternoon, and good night or good evening, beautiful souls, sweet spotters, sweet ones, my fellow travelers.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back again to the sweet spot.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad, I'm really glad you're here today to cap off this final episode in the series with me.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Before we do anything else, let's return to the truth that carried us all week.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need a new you.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: This series was built on a quiet truth most people are afraid to say out loud.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: That most of us aren't really broken.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: We're tired, yes.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: We're overstimulated, yes.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe even a bit stressed, disappointed, grieving, upset, angry, rushed into self-judgment, whatever it is.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: But we're not broken, we don't live into brokenness.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: We declare ourselves whole, even if we feel broken-hearted on the inside, even if something around us is broken.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes the situation is broken, not us.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Dr.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Derek Sweet.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a board-certified psychiatrist.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: I work with people who live under pressure: athletes, executives, first responders, students, moms, dads.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: But more than that, I'm your fellow traveler, sitting with you, slowing down with you, letting the week land instead of rushing into the next thing.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what today is for.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Slow down Sunday, letting it settle.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: Earlier this week, you remember, we named the feeling of being behind and realized it was a kind of panic, not the truth.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: We saw that effort wasn't the problem.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Precision, the lack of precision was.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: We learned on Win It All Wednesday that you don't win weeks or seasons, you win moments by protecting your energy.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: On Trust Yourself Thursday, we talked about trust as not forcing, not clinging, not overriding what you already know.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: We let go of the idea that finishing strong means emptying ourselves.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: More than that, we tried to protect what's left.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: And yesterday, yesterday in Self Care Saturday, we allowed rest without guilt.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: All of it pointing us here today, my friend, Sunday.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: The day we don't add anything new.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: We let what we've already learned breathe.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: There's a line in the message Bible that feels right for this moment.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: God, investigate my life.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: It says in Psalm 139, verses one and two.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Investigate my life.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Get all the facts firsthand.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: I am an open book to you.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Even from a distance, you know what I am thinking.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: I love that phrase.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: Even from a distance.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because sometimes the real you isn't gone.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's just been a little far away, covered by noise, worries, anxieties, pressure, the pace of life, the responsibilities, the duties, the unfinished business.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: And the King James Version, the KJV as I like to call it, gives the same truth a deeper weight.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Same Psalm one hundred thirty nine verses one and two.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: Thou understandest my thought afar off.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: Afar off yeah.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Even when you feel distant from yourself, you're still known.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: At the divine level you are known every hair on your head accounted for.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're still seen, you're still held, you're still matter.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: And this is where the universe quietly echoes the same wisdom that the ancient word, the biblical word, has taught us.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: There's an astronomer, her name is Maria Mitchell.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: She once said, and she's a scientist now, she once said, we especially need imagination in science.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's not all mathematics, it's not all logic, but it's somewhat beauty and poetry as well.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: Beauty and poetry.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: She gets it.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: Because the deepest things, whether in the heavens or in ourselves, they're mysteries.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: They don't reveal themselves to people who are in a rush.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Stillness is where we learn and figure out the divine.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Stillness is where we get the message.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: These deeper revelations appear to those who can be still, who can linger, who notice, who slow down long enough to see what's already there.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: In astrophysics, the light we study has often been traveling for millions of years before we even see it or it reaches us.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing new was created in the moment that we see it.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: This is an astrophysics, it simply just arrived and we perceive it.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: Remember we talked about this?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Behold, I do a new thing.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: And we said that when God said, Behold, it was about pausing.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: And what does God say in that phrase?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: Do you not perceive it?
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: Because that's the issue for so many of us.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: We don't slow down enough to perceive that which might be springing forth for us.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe that's been true for you this week.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Remember though, nothing essential about you has disappeared.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: If anything, it's been making its way back into view.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: So here's your slowdown Sunday invitation, my friend.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Do less today and notice more.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Sit without reaching for your phone.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's a tough one for some of us.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: Look at the sky, a tree, a face you love, as if you've seen it for the first time.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Let your breath find its own rhythm.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: Notice how you're breathing.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Is it shallow?
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Is it deep?
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're not doing this to improve yourself, we're not trying to fix anything, we just have to rediscover the you that's already in there.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: The one who existed before all the rushing around, before the responsibilities, that person, that lovable you.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: So if this week felt like a steady hand instead of a push, please subscribe.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's absolutely free.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: And if someone you love could use this kind of grounding, this kind of messaging, share this with them today.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: For now, my beautiful sweet spotters, beautiful souls.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: We have come to the conclusion of this week's series.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to be a new you.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to be a new you to slow down.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, if you slow down, you'll find that you're brand new all over again.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: You're always new.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: Every moment a new you is born.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Let that land.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: Take care, and I'll see you next week.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: This is Dr.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: Sweet, and you're listening to The Sweet Spot.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do it.
