  SPEAKER_00: Hey, I'm Blizzard Planet.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: This is Self-Friendship Podcast where playfulness meets societal reflection.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm here to invite you to think differently through the lens of self-friendship,
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: the daily practice of embracing,
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying ourselves.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine this, you hopped on the band rocket and now you're on planet butter.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: A world made of delicious,
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: sparkly peanut butter and an adorable disco ball of self-reflection is whirling
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: around in her transforming convertible.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: Bang.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yay.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for joining me in my 39th episode where I'll be sharing my answer to last
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: week's question of the week,
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: a word replacement for meditation,
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: a party of one,
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: why you're not lost,
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: you're conditioned,
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: how to get yourself to take more risks,
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: why suppression is a disease,
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: a perspective dance with commitment issues,
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: a new affirmation,
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: a trick to stay present,
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: and so much more.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: And as always,
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: a brand new question for all of us to self-reflect and self-connect and email me if
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: you desire.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: SelfFriendshipPodcast at gmail.com.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: My answer to last week's question of the week,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: which was,
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: what's a recent experience where you were willing to upgrade?
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: You might still be in the process because we always are.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: In episode 36,
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: I shared with you my little magic trick,
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: my willingness to upgrade,
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: leading up to and receiving my new home,
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: my magical villa on the exact street I wanted with all of my non-negotiables.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Right on time.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: the willingness to upgrade in this circumstance is that as perfect as this all is,
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: thank you,
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: there's always challenges that I need to be willing to do the work for to earn my
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: next upgrade.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: An important note to bear in mind is that upgrades are not necessarily linear.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's not precisely that my next upgrade is another new home.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: We are multidimensional humans with multidimensional lives.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: While this upgrade is focused on my home environment, this influences the other dimensions of my life.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the beauty I'm sensing.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: For me, my own home is absolutely sacred.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: There's nothing I love more than being in my own energy and building planet butter.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: I've been in and out of my own homes as well as shared spaces for a few years now.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: There's something particularly special about this home though, the energy of it.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's another beautiful invitation from the universe to upgrade Planet Butter.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: My world, my home, my space for my energy to be free and expansive.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: Planet Butter is getting its well fucking earned upgrade.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: I have happy tears that came out as I wrote that.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: This is always what freaking happens.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Every time I talk about Planet Butter's growth or visualize my future,
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: I just cry tears of joy because I know how freaking hard I work and how freaking
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: excited I am for everything I'm consciously creating for myself while I hopefully
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: inspire you to do the same for your world.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: My Planet Butter jet PBJ is here.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so excited to have you for a long, for the ride English.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's really hot guys.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, I'm wearing a long sleeve because I just bought this and it's really, really cute.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to wear it.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: So I did.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: I bought it in honor of the podcast being on camera.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now you get to see it here.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yay.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: A word replacement for meditation.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh no, wait.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: First, a new rewind, a new affirmation.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: I recently learned it's a well-known fact that 90% of our thoughts are repeated per day.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I bet that if we make one of those thoughts,
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: the thought that we'll have new thoughts,
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: then subconsciously we'll teach ourselves to think differently and invite new thoughts.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: The new affirmation is today I invite new thoughts.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Today I invite new thoughts.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Now a word replacement for meditation.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: I love food and I also think the phrase meditating has become a bit abused and the
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: connotations have spiraled.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I want to offer that we can say marinating instead of meditating.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: To marinate is to soak in.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: We're soaking in our own energy and presence.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now a loving self-friendship tip.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: You know how we're supposed to sit still when we marinate?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes that can be tough and we end up fidgeting or scratching an itch when I
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: feel the urge to move or fidget,
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: which is often because I kiss my hands or I blow a kiss into the air.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like if I'm just like, if I move something, I'm like...
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like that's it to send a little love to myself for moving when I'm not supposed to,
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: instead of judging or criticizing myself for moving during my session,
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: I choose to express love.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of funny because I'm actually moving even more by doing this,
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: but I'd rather move with a gesture of self love than just trying to stop my
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: fidgeting without any expression of affection.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's a love language thing, but it might work for you too.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: one of the ways the uni works,
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: a funny thing to remember about the way the universe works is that we need to
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: simultaneously show that we want something while not attaching to it.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: So we basically need to be like, okay, uni, I want this, but if not, that's cool.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's always about indifference,
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: neutrality,
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: and centeredness in ourselves for what's in our best interest.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: So if there's something I want,
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: I always say, I want this or better, or I want this or what's best for me.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: And then the uni can do its magic.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I am grateful.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: Ta-da!
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a party of one as a loving reminder.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Party of one means having fun with oneself, for oneself, as oneself.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Anywhere, everywhere.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: no matter who is there.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: Each episode,
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: I share little tidbits from my life that happened thanks to me showing up in the
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: world as my party of one.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: I went for a long, beautiful beach walk the other day and get this.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's actually fucking crazy.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: I walked about a mile in one direction and stumbled upon a beautiful, small metallic silver dead fish.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: A disco fish of self-reflection.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: I was so excited to make that joke.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: I was admiring it and didn't feel totally comfy to touch it yet.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: So I started to try to put it on my flip-flops so that I could gently put him back in the ocean.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really know.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: It just felt like the right thing to do.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't want to leave him on the sand.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: And then suddenly this man comes over and says, so cute, right?
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: Just pick it up.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, yeah, like, yeah, it is cute.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: But then I was a little confused because then the dude suddenly bends down,
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: grabs the fish and chucks it into the ocean.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: And then he continued to walk.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: And all I could bring myself to say was that wasn't even a good throw.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: And as he continues to walk away, he yells back, it's dead anyway.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: I was floored.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I stood there and talked at the ocean to the dead fish and said,
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: hey fishy,
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so sorry for that dude's behavior.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you're okay.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: And then I turned and walked another mile or two in the other direction when I
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: stumbled upon yet again,
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: another disco fish of self-reflection.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Insane.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: The same exact type of fish dead on the sand a mile the other direction.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yet again, I bend down to appreciate the beauty of this fish.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: Mind you, ow.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: Hang on.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Hair.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Human.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: Mind you,
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: this was a fairly busy beach,
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: and somehow nobody else seemed to notice or care about this little fishy.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: But also, I really felt like it was meant for me, so nobody else was attracted to it, you know?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, this time, I pick him up.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: I was very proud of myself.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: Slimy and beautiful.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: I was honestly giggling the entire time because I was so amazed that I just crossed
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: paths with two of these little babies.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: And I gently put him in the wave that came up near us.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: But the wave wasn't strong enough.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: to pull him back into the water.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: So he ended up just in another part of the sand.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I laughed so hard.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: I felt so bad.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: I had to go pick him up again.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: And then I did, I did something I'm not entirely proud of.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm having a raging giggling fest by myself with this dead fish, having to pick him up a second time.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: And then I tossed him.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: I did like an underhand toss, okay, to ensure that he went far enough into the water.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: I felt absolutely ridiculous and not entirely morally sound,
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: but I think because the other guy did a bad overhand throw and I just witnessed it,
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: it was a little bit of like a monkey see,
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: monkey do type of thing.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: And my hands were full and my bag was half open.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: I was a bit of a mess and I just didn't really strategize the second attempt.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: Although it worked.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: I turn around to discover a mother and her two children are staring at me,
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: having my situation with this dead fish.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Which just made me laugh a million times harder.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: They did not join.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: Party of one.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: P.S.,
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: After exchanging eye contact with this family,
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: I look down at my half-open bag and see one of my shoes is missing.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: I turn around, and as I'm turning, my flip-flop is washed back up to shore right on cue.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's good karma.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: So I must have done something morally sound.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: P.P.S.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: I later discussed with ChatGPT the implications of these magical encounters.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: I learned the type of fish was a silver moony, a.k.a.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: Monodactylus argentius.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: And the symbolism we derive from this experience is that this is a powerful time of
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: completing a certain phase of my life,
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: which circles me back to my answer to last week's question.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Lana Butter is about to upgrade.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Watch with me.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: I've always been really good at making a long story long.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship article snippet.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Are you willing to upgrade from August 20th, 2024?
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: There are perfect circumstances because perfection is solely attributed to our
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: subjective perspective of our personal ideals.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Our ideal circumstances are a valuable excuse for hope.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: Hope when recognized as a tool for fueling our intentions,
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: which I believe to be equivalent to our motivations.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: can strengthen our determination to show up for ourselves when our ideal circumstances inevitably arise.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: With clarity of our intentions,
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: we often form an emotional bond with our ideal circumstances to result from these intentions,
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: an element of our determination.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: That is,
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: we become determined to experience or receive something that is aligned with our
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: intentions slash motivations.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: and we attract it through our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: The circumstances we attract become moments where action is invited.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: While the circumstances aren't necessarily our exact ideal,
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: as per our emotional bond we cultivated leading up to the given circumstance,
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: they are perfect in that they offer key elements of our ideal,
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: ultimately inviting us to take action both in alignment with and despite
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: our emotional bond to our original ideal.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: When we activate the three core methods of self-friendship,
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: boundaries,
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: confidence,
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: alignment,
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: we are grounded in empowerment,
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: which means we can show up for ourselves following through with our desires in the
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: circumstances provided and transcending the challenges,
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: understanding that we are embodying the willingness to upgrade.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now you're not lost.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: You're conditioned.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to society.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's so hot guys.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Sweaty girl.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: Very cute.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: You're not lost.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: You're conditioned.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to society.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you feel lost, go look in the mirror.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: Say, there you are.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then self-reflect,
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: self-connect,
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: and practice embracing,
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: understanding,
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoying yourself,
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: self-friendship.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: And then you can better recognize what's yours,
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: what's not yours,
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: what feels true to you,
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: what have you been conditioned with.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: and then marinate on that and respond in accordance with your determination to
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: upgrade by honoring your boundaries,
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: becoming more confident and falling more into alignment with the person you want to be.
• 14:07
  Yay.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now, how to get yourself to take more risks.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: A perspective dance in disguise.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: When we take action grounded in honoring our boundaries,
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: which empowers us to become more confident,
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: which upgrades us to be more in alignment with who we want to be,
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: whatever the action is,
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: is not a risk.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: It'll appear to be a risk to the untrained eyes and outsiders.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: But when we honor the three core methods, it's impossible.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, impossible.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: for the risk to not work out in upgrading us in our own self-friendship practice,
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: our conscious creativity of our individual world.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a risk when you're betting on yourself and self-friendship is your first priority.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: Every risk we take in honor of the three core methods is a recipe for learning and upgrading ourselves.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's a victorious cycle.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: I love that one.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: A healthy reminder.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: You ever struggle with something and then try again later and find it flows way more naturally?
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's a sign things are happening in their own time when they're meant to.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: If it's not flowing, don't force it.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: This doesn't mean things won't be challenging.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: They will be.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: when they're flowing, I'm saying.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: Just because they're flow doesn't mean it's not sometimes challenging.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: The difference is that you'll be prepared to face these challenges so the process will feel more natural.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Again, these are the perfect circumstances and the challenges are our invitation to upgrade.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: Are you guys catching on?
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: All right, a note on suppression.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: Suppression is a disease and I think it would benefit society to start acting like it.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: Disease is defined as a particular quality,
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: habit or disposition regarded as adversely affecting a person or group of people.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: Suppression is defined as preventing the development, action or expression of.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Suppression is a particular quality, habit, and disposition that is adversely affecting a lot of people.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, suppression is a disease.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: So friendship is the preventative and the cure.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: When we embrace,
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: understand,
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoy ourselves,
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: we don't need to suppress anything because we create a safe space within ourselves
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: to embrace every part of ourselves
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: Understand those parts and enjoy them.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: A note on opinions.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people just echo each other's opinions.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: Bunch of parrots.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: Don't be a parrot, guys.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: Practice critical thinking and conscious creativity.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: self-friendship.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: Don't be a parrot, be a planet.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: Your planet.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing is cooler than being grounded in ourselves and having a humble opinion.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: Humble-aridant is a Blizzard's dictionary word from the Planet Butter publication.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: Links in the show notes.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: Humble-aridant means someone who is equal parts modest, self-aware, and confident.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with commitment issues.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have commitment issues.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: You're committed to freedom and flexibility.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: Run with that one.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now a trick to staying present.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: Sing a song in a bad tune about what you're doing while you're doing it.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like sometimes I'll literally just be like, okay, I'm going to turn off the lights because it's bedtime.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: Present.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now, another new affirmation.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: I am grounded.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: I am expansive.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: I am tapping into my magic.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: I am grounded.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: I am expansive.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: I am tapping into my magic.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now, real life united individualism, which is Planet Butter's mission, if you don't already know.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: Independent.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: Together.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: When I do my sauna and ice bath, I have very specific breathing techniques I use in each.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: We're only going to focus on the sauna, though, for today.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: In the sauna, I inhale for three seconds.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: And then I hold at the top for nine seconds.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: And then I exhale for six.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: Three more.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: My old villa manager taught me that one and I love it.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: It requires my focus and makes me feel relaxed.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: The other day when I left the sauna,
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: this guy came up to me and said,
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: hey miss,
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: your breathing was really calming to hear in the sauna.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh my God, that's so cool.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much for telling me.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: So cute.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: See, independent together.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: Planet Butter's mission, united individualism.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: I was breathing for myself,
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: And it benefited someone else doing their own thing.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: Very cool.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with one trip.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: I love this one.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's been very powerful for me.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: So you know how a lot of us have bonded over bringing the groceries inside the
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: house in one trip or just doing any form of something similar to that in one trip?
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: I used to be one of those people.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: Until very recently,
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: I almost dropped my computer and I finally asked myself,
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: and I mean really asked myself,
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: why not make two or more trips?
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I did not have a high quality answer that satisfied the person who I want to become.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm happy to announce I now make two or more trips.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: A wise woman, me,
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: Once said, so much to do, so much time.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: Now I get to have two or more adventures to and from wherever I'm migrating my things.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: How fun.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: Each adventure is a new experience and it's really amazing the positive influence
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: it has had on my mind and body.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: Those moments used to be physically and mentally stressful trying to hold all those things in one place.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's like...
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's those little things that get overlooked in reducing stress levels and improving mental clarity.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm here to remind you of.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: The nuances.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: A note on women.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: Since you viewers are predominantly men, hello, gentlemen.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a way to improve your self-friendship
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: practice in relation to women's menstrual cycles.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: And don't you even dare think about stopping listening.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: This is very important to your sex life, quite frankly.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: if you like women.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: All right,
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: let's remember that period just means the period of time during a 27 day cycle that
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: a woman's body bleeds.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: The rest of the 27 days is also part of their menstrual cycle.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's a perpetual cycle.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: Women are emotionally chaotic because our hormones constantly change,
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: directly influencing our mind,
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: body,
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: and emotions.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: And that's not even taking into consideration all of the very relevant stuff
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: happening in our external daily lives and the universe at large.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: Regardless of whether you're into astrology or not,
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: I've said on episode 33 that we can accept the truth of astrology without
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_00: understanding it.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't understand it, but I think it's phenomenally interesting.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_00: We are part of the universe.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_00: We have the cognition to identify all that stuff.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: just trust.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: So what does this have to do with your self-friendship practice?
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_00: If you're romantically interested in women,
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: then the best thing you can do is to embrace,
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: understand,
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoy yourself.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_00: So you can create a warm, loving, safe, and most importantly, fun space in your romantic relationships.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: A healthy masculine man practices self-friendship and makes his woman a
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: Who also must practice self-friendship.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_00: Let me emphasize that.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Women must also practice self-friendship to reap the benefits of this healthy
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: masculine man practicing self-friendship.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, guys.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_00: So a healthy masculine man must make her feel like she can be her biologically chaotic self.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: Safely.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: And ideally,
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: together,
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: you can make fun of the inevitable chaos,
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: not take any of it personally,
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_00: and optimize these moments for creating more love.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yay.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the question of the week.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: Does this risk look cool to me on paper?
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: You might not even be able to answer that yet,
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: but I'm going to dig more into this question and what I mean by it on next week's episode.
• 23:57
  Yay.
