• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: My answer to last week's question of the week, which was, what type of sunglasses person are you?
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Dark shades or light shades?
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: And why do you think that is?
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: My answer is going to be half my answer and half a party of one answer.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: Story.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Party of one.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: Story.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: So I have a pair of sunnies that have literally been sitting on my shelf for almost a year, unworn.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I've had these for maybe four years.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I love them so much.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: But I never like to wear them.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Or when I do wear them, I always take them off.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I realize it's because I don't like the dark lenses.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: I want to see the world.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: I love to see colors.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: I love to make eye contact with people.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: So for me, dark shades are actually kind of bothersome.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: So even though I like the frame...
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't love the lenses.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: So on this New York City adventure of mine, I was doing my specialty bop that I love to do.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: So I had the intention of reinventing my sunnies as I just shared.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: So I brought them with me in my bopping adventure.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's the intention being set, simply bringing the glasses with me.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: And from there,
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: if and when I felt called to a glasses place,
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: I would ask them about collaborating with me in my reinvention efforts.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: I highlight this to be,
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: well,
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: to hopefully paint an even stronger picture of how I show up as my party of one.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not seeking a glasses store.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: I know I'll stumble upon the right glasses store.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care when.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: I just know I have my glasses and I have clarity around what I want to do with them.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: When I stumbled upon the glasses store that drew me in,
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: naturally,
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Kai,
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: the gentleman who worked there,
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: and I made friends instantly.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And he tells me he thinks of everything, get this, as peanut butter kisses.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: After figuring out our mutual love of peanut butter,
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: then he tells me peanut butter kisses because it's the glue of love.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: He also said,
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: and I quote,
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: when I was thinking about dating and choosing the right partner,
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: I always envisioned them giving me peanut butter kisses or detecting the smallest
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: bit of peanut butter in their breath.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: I love peanut butter so much that a peanut butter kiss is a fetish only a true
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: lover of peanut butter would appreciate.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: My partner now loves peanut butter just as much as me, end quote.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: I think he might love peanut butter more than I do.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: And it made my day.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: Now to circle it back to the glasses bit.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Kai actually said to me in the store after I told him my vision.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: He said, you don't seem like a dark shades person.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: You're so friendly and open.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: So here we are.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now asking you lovely listeners if you're dark or light sunglasses person and why.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Now this leads me to one of the email answers I received.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you guys for answering.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: It makes me very happy.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: I love to learn about you.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: I, this person, I am a dark sunglasses person.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: I remember spending my senior year of high school and the better part of junior
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: year with a pair of dark blue prescription glasses that annoyed some of my teachers
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: at first,
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: but it just became part of my persona.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Love that.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think I like them dark because I'm more of a quiet and reserved person who likes
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: to observe the world from a distance.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: I think protective veil, so to speak, to view the world from behind just resonates with me more.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think maybe.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what he said.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: On a side note, he says, I wear gold mirrored lenses now.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: I think it just says that I like to stand out and be flashy.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I also had a moment of bright orange mirrored lenses in college and I lost them at a party.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: somewhere along the way, but they were awesome and I adored them.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Cheers to funky sunnies.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Email me your answers.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: Self friendship podcast at gmail.com.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: In honor of my latest announcement of my concept of the PBJ rink of consciousness
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: shared on part one of my chat on the voices in my head podcast hosted by Christina
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Hutchinson released September 16th,
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: 2024 and on planet butter sub stack publication article,
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: which I'll be reading a little snippet from shortly.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um,
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: In honor of that, all of that, the latest Planet Butter breakdown.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Planet Butter,
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: my world,
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: my platform to share my concept of self-friendship,
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: embracing,
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's a daily practice.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: To activate our self-friendship is the three core methods.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Boundaries, confidence, alignment.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: to know our boundaries and become more confident and stay in alignment,
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: we must integrate the planet butter jet ring of consciousness,
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: intuition,
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: sensations,
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: action,
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: sensations again.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: And then we circle it back to the cycle, beginning of the cycle, intuition again.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Because when we prioritize our intuition and we check in with our body and
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: recognize that we are in alignment,
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: then we can take action from an empowered place and have the confidence to honor
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: our boundaries,
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: the first core method,
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: become more confident,
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: the second core method,
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: And therefore,
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: the third core method,
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: stay in alignment and continue to trust our intuition in the process because we
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: learn and grow and see our upgrades,
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: which I've been talking a lot about,
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: as we continue to trust in ourselves and embrace,
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: understand,
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoy ourselves.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's your world and you're living in it.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Planet Butter's mine.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Go team.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: Now, projection in action.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: Someone told me their perspective of traveling is that those countries aren't going
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: anywhere as they continue to stay exactly where they are because the countries
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: aren't going anywhere.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: This is called projection.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: This person is physically not going anywhere.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: So now they projected it onto the rest of the world as also not going anywhere.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: projection.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: I have a little note on projection later on too.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Stick around.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now own your preferences.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: A massive part of embracing understanding and enjoying ourselves is recognizing
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: what it is we want and don't want in our lives.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Taking ownership of those preferences is required for integrating the first core
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: method to activate our self-friendship,
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: which is boundaries.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: When we know what we prefer and we commit to only accepting what it is we prefer,
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: our boundaries are then identified.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: With clarity around our boundaries, we become more confident, the second core method.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: By feeling more confident,
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: we're better able to make decisions that sustain our alignment and allow us to
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: receive what we truly desire.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: What we desire is what we deserve.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: And what we accept is what we deserve, which I discuss in depth on episode 15.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a very cool and important and valuable note on breath work.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Breath work, especially breath holds, as in...
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: helps create gamma waves in the brain, which are linked to heightened awareness and mental clarity.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: By holding our breath after an inhale,
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: we activate the pineal gland,
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: enhancing our awareness of internal states and these subtle energies around us.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: When we combine this natural awareness with our daily self-friendship practice,
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: we can become more conscious of ourselves and our relationship to the world around us.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: which strengthens our integration of the PBJ ring of consciousness.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: The ongoing cycle of intuition, sensations, action, sensations, intuition, and so on.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: That encourages us to make decisions aligned with our most expansive selves.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Side note.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: hilarious breathwork related story.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: My sister and I did a breathwork session and the chick guiding it on the app said,
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: this might be the only break you get today.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: I called it fear-based breathwork and then we just bursted out laughing.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: Game over.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Silly, silly.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Now a quote from my grandma.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: I told my grandma how my podcast offers people considerations to think critically
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: and creatively as a means of consciously creating their life.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: She said, boy, if they need other people to help them with their own life, they are in trouble.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: I found that absolutely hilarious for so many reasons.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: She kind of missed the entire point of my business,
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: but that's one of the many reasons I found this hilarious.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Make of it what you will.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with thinking.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Just for fun.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Life is fun.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's the point.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of saying I'm thinking about something, I've started saying I'm
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: wandering my mind about whatever it is.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's cute.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: Perspective dance.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: Nope.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Check, check.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: Now.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, this is a good one.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now, subconscious safety nets.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: My sister used to live in a building with a doorman for over a year.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: No, without a doorman.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: My sister lived in a building without a doorman for over a year.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: In that time over a year,
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: she never forgot her keys because if she did,
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: she'd be totally locked out of her apartment.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: Of course,
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: she'd call a locksmith and such,
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: but that's a whole other level of hassle that she wanted to not experience.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: deal with.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: So now she lives in a building with a doorman, which means she has a backup if she forgets her keys.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: In less than three months, she's already forgotten her keys twice.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: This contrast shows how the subconscious comfort of having the backup allowed her
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: to be more relaxed about forgetting her keys.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: With a
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: Without it, there's only the pressure of don't forget your keys.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's the same with our life choices.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: When we commit to something, if there's a plan B, we're giving ourselves subconscious comfort.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: Without a backup, we're fully invested in our commitment.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: This way, the commitment can unfold however it needs to, which might include a pivot that
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: But the commitment is the commitment.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: If something needs to pivot, it's not a backup.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's progression of the commitment unfolding.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: You see?
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Progression.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: The commitment is the safety net.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: Our trust in ourselves and the universe because we are making decisions
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: unequivocally in our own best interest is the safety net.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: Check out the term riskidence on Blizzard's Bictionary.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think you will enjoy it.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: If you like that, at least maybe.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: If you liked that bit, you will enjoy it.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: And if you did not like it, you may not enjoy it.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe you will be a critical and creative thinker and consider it anyway.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with our highest selves.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: When people talk about our highest selves,
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: they're talking about connecting to our intuition,
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: which is connecting to the universe at large.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: The universe is an infinitely expansive vibration.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: There's no highest or lowest.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: There's expansive or contracted or expanded, whatever.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: So we're not becoming our highest selves.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: We're becoming our most expansive selves.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship article snippet.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: Traditional psychology.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: Meat planet butter.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: I was wandering my mind about how much I love to understand people's thought processes.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: I love how it enhances my understanding of the way they operate in their world.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I checked into my own thought process in relation to how I objectively operate in my decision making.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: In my world, planet butter.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: In my essence,
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: that is self-friendship,
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: the daily practice of embracing,
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying myself and my ability to show up as my party of one,
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: having fun with myself,
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: for myself,
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: as myself.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: Out came the planet butter jet ring, PBJ ring.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: First, I check my intuition.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's relentlessly first for all of us.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Second, I check my body.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: What sensations surface?
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Any?
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Tightness?
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Pulsing?
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: What is it?
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: Third, I take action.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: I do the thing.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: Fourth, I check my body.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: What sensations surface now that I'm doing the thing?
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: Then I circle back to my intuition and repeat the cycle.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: We can consider that the PBJ ring is essentially a more conscious version of the CBT triangle.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Hence the alt name.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: conscious ring.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: In the land of planet butter,
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: while the system of CBT triangle applies in that our thoughts,
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: feelings,
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: and behavior influence one another,
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: we operate on planet butter on the higher road to connect with our most expansive selves.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: While CBT triangle focuses on quote-unquote modifying dysfunctional emotions,
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: behaviors,
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs,
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: end quote,
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: from psychology today,
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: the PBJ ring in its conscious nature chooses not to recognize emotions,
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: behaviors,
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: or thoughts as dysfunctional.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: Rather,
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: the PBJ ring is grounded in the roots of our daily practice of embracing,
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves,
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_00: self-friendship.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: We focus, F-O-K-I-S-S, a
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: If we don't feel at ease, it wasn't our intuition.
• 16:23

• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: Instagram to watch my on-camera reading of the article.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now, take a joke.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Take a compliment.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: I wonder the degree of separation between ability to take a compliment and ability to take a joke.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: I figure the more grounded we are in ourselves, the more highly we think of ourselves.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: This would make us comfortable to say thank you about something positive about ourselves.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yet the compliment will not be the source of our positive feelings towards ourselves.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: Similarly, for taking a joke.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: When someone makes a joke at our expense, when we're grounded in ourselves, we're also more self-aware.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: So we can appreciate someone making fun of us in some capacity and likewise not
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: take it personally as a negative experience,
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: merely a joke.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a blunt fact to remember.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't have context and you're giving an opinion, you are projecting, my friend.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: A note on inside jokes.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: I have inside jokes with myself.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think I've shared this one yet.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm impressed we've made it this far without talking about this.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: So, yes, I have inside jokes on myself.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: And the other day, I'm not going to tell you what it was because it's an inside joke.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: But I saw something funny on Instagram.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_00: But it was only something that was funny to me.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't intended to be funny.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: I just found it funny with myself for myself.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I was about to click share because I was like, this is funny and valuable.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: I want to share this with people.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: But I also wanted the humor of it to be understood.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: And that's when I realized I didn't have friends that would be in on this joke with me except myself.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I shared the video from Planet Butter's Instagram account to Self-Friendship Podcast's account.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: So that way I was physically doing the act of sharing.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: with myself.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's really beautiful and also hilarious.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I wanted to share with you because I see the value in it.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: So I hope you do too.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: Now, everything can be at our fingertips.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: Someone pointed out to me how I love to have everything at my fingertips.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I do.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: I love to have everything at my fingertips with ease, yet still a reach, natural, yet challenging,
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship,
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: embracing,
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves and having fun with what might be challenging in this
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: lifetime so we can learn,
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: upgrade,
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: evolve,
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: and become our most expansive selves.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: a loving reminder,
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: bringing gratitude and consciousness to what we currently have that we once desired
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: propels us forward in an empowered way.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: Go team.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Now what's meant for you is for you.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: I love this example.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I eyed a bench from a little bit of a distance as I continued to approach.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: One guy sat at the bench next to it.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: To most people, that implies one less bench for me to sit at.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: In my mind, I knew the one bench I looked at was my bench for that moment.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: So there was no risk of it being taken.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: The other bench wasn't my bench.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't even look at that bench.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: I just observed the guy sitting on the bench next to my bench.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: Apply this to everything.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: What's ours is ours.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: When we focus, again, Blizzard's dictionary term,
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: Ourselves, we are grounded in our own lifeline.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: To follow that up, a word replacement, lifeline instead of timeline.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: This way,
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: we can detach our life's rhythm from societal constructs of time and simply flow
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: with our own existence.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: All right, guys, we did it.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: To wrap things up, the question of the week.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: What is something you currently have that you previously desired?
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: Let's hear some consciousness and some gratitude, people.
