  SPEAKER_00: This is the Self-Friendship Podcast.

  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship is the daily practice of embracing, understanding, and enjoying ourselves.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: The more we practice, the sooner we embody our party of one, which is having fun with ourselves, for ourselves, as ourselves, anywhere, everywhere, no matter who's there.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: 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.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Kids and Adults.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Adults have been conditioned out of their parties of one, which is why I start adults with practicing self-friendship so they can return to their innate party of one.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: 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.
• 1:23

  SPEAKER_00: Escalator Usage, Best Way to Curate Your Social Media Feed for the Better, a follow-up on manifesting, and then we will finish up with a brand new question for you to self-reflect, self-connect, and email me if you so desire.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so...
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: My answer to last week's question, which was, what's a situation where you've caught yourself projecting?
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: This was definitely challenging, but I thought about it and I wanted to choose one that was more recent because then I can practice staying aware and conscious of myself and my behaviors and la la la la la self-friendship.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: so I was getting really frustrated with my mom last week because I felt like she was being impatient and not listening to me but really I was being impatient and I wasn't listening to her deep down I was really frustrated about my book I was having so many complications as I worked towards publishing when I was excited and calling my mom about the published ebook I started spiraling a little bit about my frustrations about the print version and
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: in doing that I just took it out on her thinking she wasn't listening and she wasn't being patient hearing what I was explaining and like it didn't even make sense because that's literally what projecting is it never almost never makes any sense because it's not what's actually happening anyway that's my answer let me know yours okay my uncommon trick to getting a little burst of energy when you need it
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: outfit change everything is made up of energy including your clothes so when you need to increase your energy it means you have to create new energy so a lot of the times people say to go for walks or sing move your body or any of those types of things and those are definitely helpful and things that I turn to and this is a way that I haven't heard anybody else talk about so change your outfit
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: change the energy on your body change the energy in your body you see I do it all the time I did it before this episode because like I said I was traveling yesterday I wouldn't recommend doing that because now I'm exhausted but I was like okay I'll do a little breathing exercises and then I'll change my clothes and then I'll be ready for the podcast and here I am doing it and if I didn't say anything I wonder if you would know the difference
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, two of my favorite quotes from my Angel Invest in Your Thought sessions from this week.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: One is, as client said, it's really complicated and it can be confusing.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: So I said, I like to be confused because I get to ask questions so I can understand.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Boo!
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: How Good Is That?
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: So true.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: We should all want to be confused so that we can understand and recognizing our confusion is actually very empowering.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: So I'll leave you with that.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: Then in another session, a client said, I noticed you don't really have a structure for your approach.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, great observation.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like to have too tight of a structure because human beings are ever changing.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: At least I hope so.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: And definitely when you work with me.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: So the structure is unique to each of my clients and it reveals itself the more we meet.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: because it's a collaborative approach to strategy perspective shifting and brainstorming and critical thinking of course it's necessary to allow the flow to flow and then we can identify as we go what these steps are for continuing to grow together
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, now I wrote down acquired sensations because I was thinking about the phrase acquired taste which is commonly used but acquired sensations is not commonly used and I was thinking about this while I was eating wasabi because
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: yeah okay the taste is one thing but the sensation of wasabi is like it the way it feels through your nose and like your like your mouth like it's just like there's so many things happening and I just feel like it's really fun but it took me a while to think that it was fun I just didn't totally get it for a second and then I was like wait this is cool so that's that
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: on a more serious note why some people are unfortunately better as distant memories in the popular 90s movie Clueless there's a scene where the character Christian is humorously comparing a girl to a Monet painting he says it's like a Monet see from far away
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's okay but up close it's a big old mess and this is the same with certain relationships.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: I have no idea why that quote occurred to me when I was thinking about this but it did and it doesn't matter why.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: So from far away certain relationships can be okay or even great and we can preserve the positivity this way and the enjoyment of those relationships.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: And up close in those details, it's pretty messy and it makes you realize that it's better to look at from far away and keep it there.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: There's that.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: A note on freedom.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: It does not come easy, but the effort that it takes to create, again, create freedom, makes it that much more enjoyable.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: You see?
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: Recognizing that you've created whatever your version of freedom is, is that much more empowering and fun.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: freeing because you only you know what you've gone through to create what you've created in the sense of freedom now locations and personality every city or place in the world has a certain personality some align with us better than others I like to experience each place the way I know I like to live which helps me stay grounded I do not conform to the personality of a location I
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: and though I love traveling to all different types of places because I practice my self-friendship I know the length of time that I would enjoy staying in the different types of places depending on the personality of the location it's kind of like people right like some people you know you could spend weeks and days with and months and whatever other people you're like I gotta limit you to like a coffee
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: so it's the same thing with places all right oh on that note why they say home is where the heart is in a literal sense because I'm oh so literal home is where the heart is because the heart is in your chest and home is within yourself ta-da now my party of one
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: one of my many parties of one actually my brain or really my intuition wouldn't stop saying pizza pizza pizza pizza pizza pizza pizza the night that I finally published my book so I took myself out to dinner at this place called Walrus Rodeo in Miami so fucking good and they have a kick-ass waitstaff these two guys we now call Sean squared because it's exactly what you think there are two Sean's
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: and they're both really nice and cool I sat at the bar by myself and then the host apologized for seating somebody next to me and I said I hope they're nice and he said he's the best and then who's but to walk over other than this super sweet older gentleman named Neighborhood Charles truly everybody calls him that it was amazing he sat next to me and we thoroughly enjoyed our parties of one independently together and the beauty of that was because it's exactly the messaging
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: of Planit Butter in general and if you when you buy the book enjoy the book read the book you will see even more of a reason as to why that is so cool
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: where ideas come from I texted my friend the other day saying I just got this one and I was referring to an idea slash realization and I just fucking love that because it insinuates that I'm receiving the thought rather than creating it it's accessing the uni beyond ourselves our intuition even the other day I was like drawing something in my little notebook and I just got this little message from the universe it was not me and I look up and I go I heard you laughing
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: a word replacement.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: I propose that we replace the word distraction with inspiration.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: Test it out.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: How good is that?
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of saying, oh, sorry, I got distracted or, oh, you get frustrated with yourself.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like, oh man, I'm distracted.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Perhaps you were just inspired by something else in that moment.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: Food for thought.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: What to do if feeling stale or trapped?
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: Literally do one bare minimum.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: one thing differently than you usually would.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: And just watch how the energy changes around you.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now a new mantra.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: I am the best I know the best forget the rest thought it had a nice little ring to it let me know what you think and another party of one from this week I was walking around having a good day enjoying the sunshine and I was carrying around some of my Planit Butter stickers with me which are these really beautiful colorful stickers that I place in random cities all over the world just for shits and gigs and guerrilla marketing and
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: I was walking in this very quiet neighborhood so I was not even in like a peak area of the city and I just had this urge I was like put one on this street corner I don't I've never put it on the street corner maybe like telephone poles or like
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Planit Butter
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: But so I had this urge to put a sticker on the concrete.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: And right when I did that, I swear to God, after I finished putting it down, I look up to stand up and I look in the street sign says 33rd Street and 3rd Avenue.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: It was like the perfect crisscross 333.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: It was amazing.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, oh, right place, right time.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for the sign.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: Magic.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now my little comment on escalator usage.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: It sincerely blows my mind the amount of people that take the escalator at any time, but especially when leaving the airport.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: When there's a whole flight of stairs that they could just walk down.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: First of all, it's faster.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Second you get to move your body which should probably be first if we're listing this in terms of importance and if you have legs obviously that work you are so lucky so why aren't you walking and you also just got off of a fucking plane you've been sitting for hours.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: How do you not want to move your legs?
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: Are you that out of touch with your body?
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: I can guarantee that your legs want to move, which means you are out of touch with your body because that's how the body is made to move.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: So if you think it doesn't want to move, you're not in touch with it.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Okay?
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Self friendship.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Move your body.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now the best way to curate your social media feed for the better.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't learn from it or laugh from it, lose it.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: Simple.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: A follow up on manifestation.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Last week I referenced the key to manifestation which is essentially creating truth around the ultimate goal of your manifestation and by creating some form of truth around it even though it's on the lowest end of the spectrum of whatever that means
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: the fact that it exists in some forms form means that you're putting energy towards it and that it does exist no matter how small quote-unquote it might appear at this very moment and been doing that it also leaves room for even more bigger and better magical things to occur for you beyond the manifestation of your original goal because
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: you are bringing truth to it bringing light to it bringing energy towards it and then letting the universe do its thing now on this follow-up my Lyft driver from the airport yesterday he was super sweet and he turns out he he's a security guard for some pretty wealthy people uh and and when he told me that I immediately said oh I'm gonna need security soon so this is perfect
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: and he goes oh I better give you my car so despite the fact that we were not in a luxury vehicle and he was not my technical security guard in a way to bring truth to this
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: He was my driver and he is security and we did meet and that is naturally the energy just exists of me and my potential and future security card and driver.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: But really, it's kind of just that fun.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: It should always be that fun.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's the point, guys.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: If you haven't been listening, start listening.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's supposed to be fun.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I know that that sounds ridiculous.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's the fucking point.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, now a question for the week.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: Are you a standing escalator slash elevator person or a stairs person?
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: let me know see you next time have a beautiful week check out Planit Butter's first book Party of One on Amazon and keep your eyes out for the hard copy and if you want to invest in your thoughts give me a ring or an email because I don't give out my phone number too much all right have a beautiful week see you on Planit Butter
