  Speaker 4: of last year, and it is junk journaling.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Finally, how's it going.

  Speaker 4: It's so much fun. Really, I feel like I haven't
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: had a creative outlet outside of world in a really
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: long time, especially one that's like physical where I actually
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: use my hands and it's not all digital or writing. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: it's been so much fun.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: We need to start collecting junk, Like next thing, you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: we're going to be in the office and all our
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: notes are going to go missing, like stickers off our
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Apple Like suddenly, our like subway wrapper will not be
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: in the bin in some way is.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Anyone's in my grocery this?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like the corner.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: So that's been really fun.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It was Jim Jim Mine is going out sober is
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: actually fucking con so I'm doing dry January. But I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, this is going to be really really
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: hard going out sober. First hour was really like kind
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: of suck. So I was like, oh, like, I just
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: feel like the vibe isn't there. And then everyone else
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: got really drunk and they got really fun and I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: didn't have to get drunk to also have fun and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: it was actually so it was great. And I was
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the designated driver and I drove all my like friends
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: home and like Tom and then Steph, like my best
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: friend and her partner, and it was so funny because
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I took them to maccas and they just said the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: funniest stuff And I was like, this is a more
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: valuable memory to me then if I'd like gone out
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to like the Imperial and not remembered anything. Literally. Yeah,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: it was great. It was so much fun. I would
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: really invite people to do it. It's a great it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a great time.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So would you say that getting past the first hour
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: is the hardest part.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, first hour was I was just like, oh, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: want to leave.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Also, I just hadn't really been around like a big
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: group of people for a while in a way. Yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and I didn't know many people. I didn't know people,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: but I was just kind of like, oh, everyone's just
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: like so getting into it, and I just feel a
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: bit tired. Then I hit that diet croaked straight into
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the veins, and then I had a few more and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the bartender was like giving me free diet croaks. He
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, wish I could be doing this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, I love that, And I think that's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: such also a nice tip as well that for anyone
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: who is, you know, sober, curious and wanting to go
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to events and be so that your goal is just
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to get through the first hour mm hmm and then it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: All opens up. Yeah, the world is your oyster? Love
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that yours? I want to hear you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Mine is a fun little fact that I saw this week.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It's that ninety one percent of people are no longer
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: friends with the person they once called their best friend.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: How crazy is that ninety one percent?
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Well raise your hand if you can relate to that
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: statistic for the listeners out there all hands.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Are raised, but it just normalizes it a bit more.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I think, given the fact that you know, we could
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: all raise our hands, and I'm sure a lot of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: people listening to this could think of someone that they
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: once called their best friend and it might not necessarily
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: been like a massive breakup mushroom cloud, Oh my god,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you facked my boyfriend, but like, there are definitely people
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: that you probably have called your best friend that are
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: no longer your friend and that's okay. And like, going
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: into a new year, if maybe that was a friendship
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: breakdown that happened last year, I kind of wanted to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: share that, not to be like, look, everyone has no friends,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you're all going to break up and not be friends anymore,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: but just that it's like that's normal, that's okay, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that like give yourself grace in that that it wasn't
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: necessarily like your fault, Like it is a normal thing
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that happens, and friendships do just break down and you
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: do just move on from them. But yeah, friendship breakoups
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: don't get the recognition they deserve.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: All right, shall we get into let episode let's do it?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: How is a twenty twenty five master plan different to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: New Year's resolutions.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, I think that the idea of a master plan
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: is just a much better idea than Newyear's resolutions because
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: it's less specific and not every one of your goals
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: has the same start date. Right, So when you think
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: of New Year's resolutions, the word the words new year
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and literally in them, so it's like you've kind of
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: got to make them within the first week of January
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: for them to feel like they are New Year's rest solutions.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But your twenty twenty five master plan can involve a
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: series of goals that have later on start dates, so
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: you're not just like overwhelmed at the very beginning. You're
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: not just overwhelmed on January first. And you know it
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: is one of the biggest killer of goals is having
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: too many goals at once.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Like because you get like a dopamine hit
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: when you set a goal.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You're like, fuck eon better than everyone else.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you get like inspired you do this, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: you're imagining the outcome. It's going to be big and brilliant,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: your whole life is going to change. And then you're like, huh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I actually have to work for them.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: You're like, wait, this is hard.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why I haven't done it before. So
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: a master plan is great because it's like, okay, so
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: my for me, I do like my twenty twenty five
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: master plan, as I break up the year into three sections,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: each with four months. So you know, for the first
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: four months this year, it's like, I'm focusing on my career.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: That's like my big thing, and I have like two
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: broad things that I'm focusing on in that. In the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: next four months is okay, I'm going to focus on
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: my personal development, and then the final four months is
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I'm focusing on transitioning my life because.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I'm moving right, Okay, So you break it up into
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: three months.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: So three parts. And the thing is it's not like, Okay,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: if your first four months of the year is focused
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: on your career, that you can't also focus on your fitness.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: But it's like your primary goal and the thing that
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: you are putting all of your concentrated effort into is
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: one thing, one thing, and then hopefully by the end
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: of that four months that is working light clockwork. You
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: have done all the hard yards to make that a
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: really smooth thing. So career might be a difficult one
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: because that varies for everyone. But if we're talking like
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: fitness or wellness, wanting to get better at running, or
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: wanting to do a higher rocks or a triathlon, or
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: just to like eat better, you want to take that
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: four months to make that your primary goal so that
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: it becomes a habit, and then you can transition in
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the next four months to maybe an elevated version of
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: that goal or shift to something else, knowing that now
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: this is like a well oiled machine.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's definitely the energy universally this year.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I think quite a lot of people haven't necessarily gone
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: into it setting those news resolutions. We were saying in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the last episode that we kind of haven't done that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: this year. We're just kind of like being a little
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: bit gentler in the expectations that we're setting for ourselves.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But I would love to know you made a social
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: post about some things that are on your twenty twenty
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: five master plan, and I would love to.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Share it with the chicks, and do you want me
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to read it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So basically, like I really like what you said.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I have not set Newyears resolutions this year. I did
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: not set them. I set a theme which I do
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: every year, which is like my theme this year was
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: to trust myself and to go softly and kind of
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: works with the master plan, right, We're not trying to
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: box ourselves into a single stream of doing instead of
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: having like a broader perspective. So this was my twenty
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: twenty five months to plan. You ready, I'm excited, Okay,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: be creative for no reward. Yes, yes, this sone's a
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: bit weird. Laugh so hard I start crying, but also
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: cry so hard I start laughing.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I love that. I'm gonna take that as my personal KPI.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, please get a pen pal. And honestly, so many
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: people message me being like I want to be your
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: pen pal, and I was like, done, let's do a club.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: So get a pen pal, dance wildly, plant a forest
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: of herbs in my garden, throw a street party for
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: my neighbors. People. If you are like a close friend
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: of mine, you know that me and my neighbor have
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: crazy b But actually now she's like my bestie.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Like she feel like you guys have worked it out
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: on the remix.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: We have worked it out on the remix. Skinnied it
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: prove the hater is wrong, but nicely and with the kiss,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's our Is it yours? No? Olive oil
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: full stop?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That's the one.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Dream a little dream? Stop wearing uncomfortable clothes.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Oh fuck yeah, because gosh.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And rule the world with softness.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Oh I love that. My favorite one was be creative
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: with no reward.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that's a really good one. What about what
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: was your favorite olive oil? So it's oilful stop?
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, olive oil period period And I like that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: What's on your master plans out?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, junk journaling is on there, and I want
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: to do like a monthly recap. That's where I'm going
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: to start. That's like the baseline for me. But I
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: also want to allow myself to if I get inspired
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: by something, I can like chuck it in there. I
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: was like trying to figure out how to like theme
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: it and plan it, and Chris was like, you don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: have to, like nobody's seeing this, Like you're not submitting
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: it to anybody at the end, so you can actually
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: just like go as you please. And I was like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: you're so right for that. So that's one. Also, meal
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: prepping every to ensure that I'm eating like yummy meals
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: that I've made myself and not ordering uber eats all
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: the time, go to more shows. That's definitely on my
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: master plan this year because that's where I feel the happiest,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: watching live music, and I didn't have enough of that
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So those are three that are on there for me.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: What about you love that online? It would be learn
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: how to sew That's a good one. I want to
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: buy like a sewing machine and like fully learn how
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to make my own clothes and like tailor and you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: upscale my clothing and recycle and then learn a new language,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: play more piano, eat more yummy food, and just giggle more.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Like as I was saying I was saying this hour before,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, I just want to have more fucking
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: fun this year, and like not take life too seriously.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: I love it though, because it's a mix of things that,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: you know, perhaps like more traditional goals. I guess, like
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: you can have things that are professional or about self development,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: but also you can have things that are a little
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: bit more lighthearted and silly and fun.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Well. Another one, watch more movies. I want to watch
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: movies more than TV shows.

• 14:14
  Speaker 3: like my theme was like my for trusting myself. I'm
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: going softly. Your theme is trade.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Mine is consistency. We were talking about our word of
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: the year, so I feel like that kind of leans
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: into it. So in the first week of January, I
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: booked in all of my appointments that I'd been putting off,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: so like my optometrist, dentist, physio cervical screening, all those
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: great things that might I just want to get like
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: a handle on how I am inside and focus on that.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And I have nothing to do with any sort of
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: physical transformation for vanity reasons. I just want to feel
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: like hundred percent my best. I'm really focused on my
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: health in that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Way consistency, but in terms of actual wellness, not just
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: fitness lifestyle, wellness, lifestyle, but health wellness.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: What about you, Mine's just like less stress, more fun.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I just want to play.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Hell, Yeah, I love playing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I love to be silly, goofy girl. SI sausage, Let
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: me be a cit sausage.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I think also building a little bit more routine,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: but like routine that's not about getting anything done. Like
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: routine that's literally like getting up and having a coffee
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and scrolling on Pinterest or like playing piano or doing
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: my duelingo.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's just.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: About having a little bit more of a life rather
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: than revolving around getting shit done. I'm the get shit
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: done mentality is not my vibe this year. Yeah, I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: am not a hustler this year. I am here for
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the vibes. Vibes only I know, check back in in
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: three months.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Two weeks in and our has already launched
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a whole new podcast.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: That's just fun. Do you know what that is? That's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: creative for no reward. That's what like, I genuinely think
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that's like.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Also, my theme that I'm stealing from you this year
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: is like being creative with no reward because, especially with
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: our job, and I think a lot of people who
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: do work in creative industries, whether that's a graphic designer
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: or a social media manager, a writer, whatever it is,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: your creativity becomes measured by analytics and success and numbers
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: that sometimes you can lose your creative flair associated with
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that because you might like someone and you enjoy doing it,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: but if it bombs or flops or whatever, you're like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: oh cool, I don't feel creative in that way anymore,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: even though you enjoyed it. So I think that's you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: my passion for this year is being creative in the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: reward also to.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Like peel the curtain back for the listeners, Like you
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: two worked so hard last year's did you? Uh yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: but we're talking about you, Like, I just feel like
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: every time I see you guys get a mean comment
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: or anything like that, I'm just like you guys don't understand.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: You don't understand how hard these two work. So anyhow,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: as your personal life coach, I approve both of those themes.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I approve all.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Right, So what are some tools or apps you can
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: use to map out and keep track of your master plan?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, notes app? I love the notes app, but I
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: have a specific way of using the notes app. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: have my ongoing to do list, which just always sits
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: at the top. Then I have like my episode schedule
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: because obviously I'm a podcaster, like I need to keep
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: track of my ideas. I have like general content ideas.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: And when I say content ideas, I don't just mean
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: like social media, I mean like book ideas, I mean
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: like business ideas. I mean ideas for how to like
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: completely rehord my life. Like it's used to just be
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: like Okay, I need to make this video. Now it's
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: like this is just everything. And then I have like
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: groceriy slash miscellaneous. I could probably come up with better names,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: but that's just things that I need to buy. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: need to like book, I need to do that. You
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: know it's going to cost me money. I can also
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: keep track of like Okay, if this is not on
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: my list, why am I buying my fifth foundation for
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: the month? Like if like things that I actually need
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: go on that list, and then I'm when I go
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: shopping or whatever, I can be like Okay, I don't
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: need that, it's not on the list. Yeah, And I
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: find this is amazing because you using like an Apple phone,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: you can pin them at the top.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I do know you could do that. Yeah, that's so.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Cool searching and then yeah, they just sit there, they're pinned,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: They're just at the top. It's great. So that's my
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: first app that I would use. And if you're doing
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: like a master plan, you can also use like the
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: notes app to have like goal tracking. You can do
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: like a week so like a weekly update, so you
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: can even put like a little table on there and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: be like, how many days of the week did I
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: eat an apple and then use an apple emoji? How
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: many days of the week did I go swimming? Did
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I put money into my savings account? That kind of thing.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: The other app that I love using is Frolo.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Oh what's frolo?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: It's a budgeting app. I'm not going to go in
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: it because it's going to show me that I've spent
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: too much money on restaurants.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: This, yeah, the thing that I want to get into this,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I won't have a better budgeting app.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I think that is great. And also if your master
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: plan is to do with your relationship, if you're in
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: a long term relationship, if you have a friend who's
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: suddenly gone long distance, sister, a brother, anything. I use
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: this app called a gape and it's amazing.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Have I talked about this before you told me about it,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: and then I talked about it on the show, but
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: explaining to you so you don't remember.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: So I travel a lot and I have like I
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: have a full time boyfriend, And what we were really
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: finding was like I'd be gone like months at a
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: time and it was like, okay, getting on a FaceTime
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: every single night. It's fun, but sometimes you just want
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: to like have deeper conversations. So this app gives you
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: a question for both of you to answer every single day,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and you can the first person who goes on the
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: app chooses the question. Basically, they can go through the
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: questions and you both have to respond before you can
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: see the other person's answer, and it would be really
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: cute things like what's your earliest memory of me? What
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: are three things you want to have accomplished in ten.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Years going back to Martra's and then you show how
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: do martras feed into building out your master plan, and
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: what's the psychology behind martras and how we can use
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: them to inspire us beyond just words on a page.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to use like the more Western definition of
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: a marchra here yea, which is kind of more synonymous
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: with an affirmation, right, But a mancho really is something
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: that is said to you that brings peace, that is
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: meant to ground you. It can be like an utter ens,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: It can be a syllable, but it can also be
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: a phrase. And I think that when you have a
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: consistent phrase or series of phrases that you tell yourself
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: that ground you, it really starts to steer your life philosophy. Right,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: how many thoughts do you have every day that are
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: thoughts that you might not necessarily want to have, that
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: you pay too much attention to that aren't necessarily useful,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: And how often are you actually choosing to think specific
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: things about your life to perhaps elevate your life, Like
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: conscious thoughts are things that we actually don't have a
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: lot in a very busy life and a very busy way.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: So I think that going into creating your master plan
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: for twenty twenty five, having some guiding philosophies and having
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: mantras that you take time out of your day to
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: repeat to yourself that feel good to you, that match
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: what you want, it's actually very very powerful, And if
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: you want to talk about the psychology of it, it's
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: basically the power of self talk, right, and self belief.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: So if you believe something and if you say it
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: to yourself, basically you're feeding your brain. Like you and
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: your brain have a two way relationship. It tells you
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: how to see things, but you can also tell it
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: how to see things. So by giving it positive statements
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: like I am powerful, I am capable, I am willing
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: to do hard work, I release the need for external expectations.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: You are reprogramming how your brain sees the world, but
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: how it thinks of you as how you think of
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: yourself basically as capable, and it's like incredibly powerful. I
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: have this way of doing it that I think everyone
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: should do because it's literally so easy. A big A four,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: A three, the big version, big piece of paper, and
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I just wrote down like ten mantras slash affirmations that
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: really embodied how I wanted to feel about myself this year,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: and I put them on like the back of my
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: front door. There's no way I'm leaving my house without
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: saying that.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Love that, And that's like especially like you're gonna be
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: on your way out, You're gonna you're on your way
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: out to like live your life, and you're like, Okay,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: this is how I want to be today.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what, sometimes I ignore them because
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: I here. Yeah, when I was coming here, I ignored them,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: like didn't but it literally did feel like that I
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, I don't have time for you right now.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: But most of the time I will just like you know,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: see one or see two, or just like repeat them
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: to myself. When I was like single as well. I
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: used to have some that were like dating related, and
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I used to do them before I would go on dates.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: What are some of your dating mantras?
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I think one of them was like I am magnetic,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I am charismatic. Every person I meet. It was like
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: every person I meet is attracted to me in some way.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I exude confidence. I know what I want. I am
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: not capable of settling. That was one I remember, actually,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: and yeah, I've used those for like a while. Obviously
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: they worked out.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, happy with a full time boyfriend.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Is not even part time promotion. It really works. Also
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: meant that I had fun of dates, Yeah, because I
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: wasn't worried about like does this person like me, Like
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: do they think I'm hot? I'm like, I think I'm
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: hot because my march has said it, my affirmation has
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: told me so. Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: It's like having an anchor term that can pull you
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: back to where you want to be, and those I
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: find so helpful, especially as someone who has an internal
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: monologue on fucking steroids that like, you know, my brain
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: can run away with a thought and then turn it
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: into a monster with three heads. The hydra in Greek mythology,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: you like cut off one head.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: And three come back.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: That's my thoughts, especially when I'm overthinking or anxious or
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: stressed about something and exactly what you're saying. Having your
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: mantra as like an anchor term that you tell yourself
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: or even ask yourself elf is a really great way
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: to stop that spiral. One that I've seen quite recently
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: is asking yourself like what would my higher self do?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Which I love so like even that's when you're laying
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: in bed, you've had a long day of work and
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: you can't be fucked to get up and go have
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a shower, Like, what would your higher self do?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: They probably have a well, like when.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You don't want to do your laundry, like what would
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: my like what would the best version of myself do?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And you know what, sometimes that is just resting and
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: knowing like when to rest?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But I love that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all kind of it's all coming together here, guys,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: everyone listening. You need to finish this episode off with
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: your theme, your mantra.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll have a homework list at the end.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: What is one unconventional rule of philosophy you swear by
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: when planning your year?
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, don't do too much don't do too much. I
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: have this huge problem where my to do list is
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: never done because I always end up putting more things
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: on there. I'll get like two, I'll have like two
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: things left, and I'll be like, ooh, but I could
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: check on my hextet. Oh, I could go to like
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I could do this, so I could do that. Maybe
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I should get my car service. It's like nothing is
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: ever done, and so don't do too much is a
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: really good philosophy. Again, we talked about this at the
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: top of the episode, Like, you want to feel motivated,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: you want to get stuff done, so you put heaps
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: on your list, you put heaps in that goal folder,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: and actually you're doing yourself a disservice because your brain
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: does have limited cognitive resources to dedicate towards everything it
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: needs to do. So being selective is better for you
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: and it's better for your goals and your success.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I love it ten out of ten.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: And to wrap up our final question, what has been
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: your biggest life lesson while creating Mantram, I.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Think my biggest lesson has been everyone has wisdom within them,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: like everyone has something that they are wise about. And
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: in making Mantra, I spoke to so many people and
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: was like, what's your advice on this, what are your
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: perspectives on this march or on this thought, on this
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: piece of philosophy. And it's just wild to see that
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: everyone is actually very deep when it comes to thinking
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: about their life. And sometimes I think we, you know,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: we do turn to people like me in a sense,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: like you know, influences and wellness people and scientists and
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: psychologists and people online who are deemed experts, but actually
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: there is so much wisdom that you have within you.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: The other thing I learned was big life lesson is
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: it's not work when you really care about it. I
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: was just like making March because we did like ten
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: episodes to begin with, just to get them out. And
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: if I did ten episodes of the Psychology of your twenties,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: like back to back, I'd be exhausted, mainly because they
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: are like very researched heavy. But with March, I was like, Wow, this.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Is just so much energized energized.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's great.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I love that. Thanks and those are both beautiful.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: And before we kick you off, kick you out of
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: the studio. You have so many exciting things coming up
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: this year, but you have a very exciting launch. Your
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: debut book coming out. Can you tell the chicks a
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: little bit about it and where they can get it,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: and we can put a link in the description of.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Guy's so amazing. I love how you said debut book,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: like there'll be more. That's really nice.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: We're manifesting obviously.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Yes. So I wrote a book last year, and you
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: know what was wild was that you guys were like
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: two steps ahead of me, so I could see what
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: was coming up. I was like, all right, what do
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I need to be prepared for? Yeah, And so you
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: can get the book Person in Progress. It's available for
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: pre order if you're listening in Australia, I would really
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: recommend you pre order it from Reading's Small Bookstore, a
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Melbourne based bookstore, and Readings is just amazing. If you're elsewhere,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: you can go to Penguin Random House that website and
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: look up Person in Progress, find your local bookstore and

  Speaker 3: your area will come up when you when you search. Yeah,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: very excited. It comes out April twenty ninth, twenty twenty five.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: And what's it about.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, It's basically about unraveling the psychology of your twenties.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Like it's got four sections one about work, one about relationships,
