  SPEAKER_00: My answer to last week's question of the week,
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: which was,
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: if the way we do anything is the way we do everything,
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: how do you treat the sunset?
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: And is that who you really want to be?
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: I shared in depth last week about my saying, the sun still sets when it's cloudy.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: For me,
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: if the way I do anything is the way I do everything,
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: the way I treat the sunset is exactly who I want to be.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: I prioritize what I value and what makes me feel best.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: I do so even when the circumstances aren't the best.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: I make the most of it.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: I see the beauty.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: I feel gratitude to experience it.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: That is absolutely who I want to be.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: Who are you?
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Email me your answers, selffriendshippodcast at gmail.com.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: A note on inspiration.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: Inspiration does not have to be something we like.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: We can be inspired by situations,
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: people,
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: things that we wholeheartedly disagree with,
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: dislike,
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: even despise.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: When we think critically about something,
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: especially something we don't like or agree with,
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: I think it can fuel our creativity and our passion for whatever it is we do believe in.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: It stimulates our minds and our voice.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: Inspiration is simply the root of an idea.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a note on living with couples.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: I've had a few shared villas,
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: common gardens,
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: pools,
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: kitchens,
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: very lucky,
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: with couples and I've lived with a couple in LA.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's always one of those things that people always respond saying,
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: oh,
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: how difficult it is to live with a couple or annoying or whatever.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: For me,
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: I've honestly always been confused by that because as long as it's a healthy couple,
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: I actually think it's really nice to be around a loving energy.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Now a note on productivity.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: There are different types of productivity,
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: much like different types of health,
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: mental,
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: physical,
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: emotional,
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: and spiritual health.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Likewise, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual productivity.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: And health and productivity are also extremely closely related.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: Prioritizing our health is a form of productivity.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: When we practice our self-friendship,
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: embracing,
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves,
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: we are proactively choosing to give attention to the various elements that make up
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: our holistic well-being.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: So productive.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yay us.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: A note on quote-unquote politeness.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: It is not, I repeat, not polite to do things for the sake of, quote unquote, being polite.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: You are just full of shit.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Don't be full of shit.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: I much rather someone be direct or matter of fact about something than to do
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: something because they think it's the right or polite or kind thing to do.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: Equally, I don't do or say anything unless I mean it.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not doing anything to be polite.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: Be kind because you are kind.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: And if you don't want to do something, there is a way to still be kind and not do whatever it is.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's where effective communication comes in.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: The coolest follow-up story ever.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: Last week's episode,
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I discussed my saying of the sun still sets when it's cloudy,
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: as I mentioned at the top.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: And then the other night,
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: I came home from dinner and my villa mate said she was listening to last week's
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: episode on the beach that night during sunset.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: And she said she was feeling upset that it was cloudy.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: And then immediately after she had that thought, she got to the part of the episode, episode 24.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: where I talk about sunset and then she turned her head and saw me super
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: concentrated on the sunset and then she thought to herself,
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: wow,
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: what a sign.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: And that's exactly what she told me.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: And that was the coolest moment ever.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then the next day,
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: another girl who I met once bumped into me at sunset also and also told me that her
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: and her boyfriend now always make sure to catch sunset because of me.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: How cool.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's a really cool thing to be known for.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: And it feels really great.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a note on voice prints.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: In voiceover, we have what they call voice prints, a clever way to market yourself slash your voice.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: I say,
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your playfully charming partner in crime,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: the cool girl you want to have a beer with,
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: your trusted big sister who's going to keep your secret.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: This week, I verbalized that I'm also the fresh air you want to breathe.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I just thought I'd share that on here for safekeeping and in case anybody out
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: there is listening and wants to hire me for voiceover work.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Hi.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, my God.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: And note on advocating for ourselves.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Advocation is a huge part of Planet Butter's messaging of self-friendship.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: This week, I've been thinking about it a lot in relation to respect.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: When we speak up for ourselves in a kind way, we demand respect from others.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Demand has a bit of a harsh connotation, but it simply means a request, actually.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: And we can also consider that we are requesting and effectively communicating that
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: we expect to be respected.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: We show it by speaking up for ourselves in a kind way and remain indifferent to how
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: the people on the receiving end respond.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: When we can do that,
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: we have better relationships with ourselves because it proves to our most inner
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: selves our ability to keep ourselves safe.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: through speaking up for ourselves you'll see all right now poisoned with lust i'm
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: deciding what to make of this still but my friend said it the other day and i found
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: it poetic
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's something that I believe might be a subconscious way of operating in the world
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: as a result of a cognitive bias toward media content that creates the illusion of
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: immediate gratification of whatever it is that the individual is seeking.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Take a second to marinate on that for yourselves and critically think about what that could mean to you.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: A note on gravity.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think we give enough appreciation to gravity.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: There's all this talk about grounding ourselves and feeling grounded and the importance of it.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: The one constant element of being grounded, literally speaking, is gravity.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: Technically speaking, we are always grounded, hence needing to simply feel grounded.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: And I think a potentially easier way to access this feeling of being grounded is
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: intellectually recognizing that we already are,
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: physically speaking,
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: grounded.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then focusing on gratitude for gravity, the element that allows us to feel grounded.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yay, gratitudes.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: Gravity, gravitude, gravitude.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the way I know everything that I personally need to know about a person.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, everything is how they respond.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Not necessarily everything, but a lot is how they respond when I tell them about planet butter.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: The other day,
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: this guy,
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: after seeing a couple of self-friendship articles from the Planet Butter publication,
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: says to me,
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: you're basically just saying to listen to your heart.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, yeah, totally.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: I write self-friendship articles so that people can relate to it in a variety of
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: different ways and internalize it in whatever way it can most effectively resonate
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: with them and their own lives.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, yeah, well, I understood it without having to do that.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: I said, yeah, you.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Good job.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then he looked at Blizzard's Blictionary,
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: another section of the Planet Butter publication,
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: and he says,
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: oh,
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: you're crazy,
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: aren't you?
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, yeah.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: And he promptly excused himself from the conversation.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: He literally said, yeah, it's time to go.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like, two seconds later.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: I was like...
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: Bye.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to be over here being crazy.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: And you know why?
