Welcome back. 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,700 Hello hello. We are doing something fun 20 00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:11,000 today. It's actually an episode that 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,300 I've been excited to record for quite a while and kind of forgot 22 00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,400 about but we're going to talk about the books that we've read 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,600 on this journey which there's a lot of them and for me to narrow 24 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,700 it down, was very hard. Yes. 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,300 And I actually don't know if I really narrowed it that much. 26 00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:29,500 We have a lot of books to talk about right now. 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,900 Now it's easily. So we're not going to waste any 28 00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:35,300 time today. We're going to get right into it 29 00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,100 and Carly and I have read a couple of the same books. 30 00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:45,200 I just think it's really fun to see how different authors say, 31 00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:49,000 kind of the same thing because there's definitely similar. 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,300 Themes in all of these. It's just like, you could read 33 00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,300 five books and be like. Okay, okay, okay. 34 00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,000 And then that's six book. All of a sudden, you're like, oh 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000 my God, holy shit back. That's changing my lawyers 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,700 speakin my language. Exactly. 37 00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,600 Like you just need to find the book that really hits home with 38 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,800 you. And so the ones that I've 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,300 grabbed to talk about and that Carly has brought up, I think 40 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,600 are fairly approachable if you're interested in 41 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,400 spirituality because there are some that are sometimes they 42 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,200 speak at a high level. I don't even want to say that 43 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200 because that makes it sound like the readers dumb, but it's not 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,800 it's like lofty language. That is not as approachable. and 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,500 it's just unnecessary, like, there's some books that are just 46 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,700 hard to hop into if you haven't been into this at all, 47 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,700 definitely what I think because the deeper we get into these 48 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:49,600 things into these teachings or just our own selves, the less I 49 00:02:49,608 --> 00:02:52,000 don't know if this is going to make any sense, but it's almost 50 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,700 like the less clear things get like the deeper, they get the 51 00:02:55,700 --> 00:03:01,200 less like clear, they are with saying it because the deeper, 52 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,800 you get, the less language can even wrap itself around these 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,500 Concepts, like all of our languages, all of our King ways 54 00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,900 of communication. I think they all get to a 55 00:03:11,908 --> 00:03:15,400 certain point where then you just kind of start to sit with 56 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,300 the knowledge. You really like feel the 57 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:22,300 knowledge and the teachings and then Like Beyond language that, 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,400 I don't know if that made any is going to make any sense to 59 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,000 anybody but what it made me think of is what a lot of these 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,900 books say and like what kind of the point is that the more 61 00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,900 knowledge you have, the more you understand that, you know, 62 00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,200 nothing exactly. Yeah. 63 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,000 So let's get into it. I would say, let's start with 64 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,100 the first one, The Four Agreements. 65 00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,700 Because I know that we both read that one, and it's one title 66 00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:50,500 that I see. E floating around as a 67 00:03:50,508 --> 00:03:54,200 recommendation all the time and I completely agree. 68 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,700 It's a very short. It is only 137 pages and small 69 00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:01,700 Pages. It's a it's a baby book. 70 00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:05,600 It's like a pocketbook kind of, it's just very easy. 71 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,000 I have something highlighted on every single page of this book. 72 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,200 I felt silly, even trying to highlight the things that I 73 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,500 found impactful because it was literally all of it. 74 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,000 I need to read it again, honestly, how did you feel about 75 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,200 it now? Okay. 76 00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:23,700 I think what I loved so much about this is I just read this 77 00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,400 may be within the past for sure, actually within the past year, 78 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,700 and what I loved about it was it was all of the stuff that I've 79 00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:33,100 heard from other people that I've kind of witnessed Within 80 00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:37,200 Myself, that I've come to understand all of it, simplified 81 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,500 in like a very short description and clear presentation like just 82 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,100 boom. Okay we got it. 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,100 Hmm. I just want to go through what 84 00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,800 the agreements. Are. 85 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:54,200 So The First Agreement is be impeccable with your word. 86 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,400 The second agreement, don't take anything personally, the third 87 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,600 agreement don't make assumptions. 88 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,100 The fourth agreement always do your best. 89 00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,300 It's just beautiful. I think when I tell people about 90 00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:10,000 this book all the time, the one agreement that spoke and still 91 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 speaks so much to me all of them do. 92 00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,900 But is the agreement, is it the second one that he talks about 93 00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:21,400 don't take anything personally that One just it's like the 94 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,800 things that, you know, but the way that he spoke about it was 95 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,100 just oh my God, because he really talks about. 96 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:33,100 Don't take anything, personally, the negative things, or the good 97 00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:37,400 things, the positive things because even if somebody You 98 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,400 know, really Vibes with you. They really love your if you're 99 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,800 offering something in or doing art or the way you are as a 100 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,100 person. If they really like you and what 101 00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:53,500 you're creating in your life, it has nothing to do with you. 102 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,300 It has everything to do with them and what they like. 103 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,100 So the same thing goes for, if somebody doesn't like you or 104 00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:03,400 doesn't like your art, it doesn't like your Creations, 105 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,000 whatever they are. It has nothing to do with you. 106 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,600 It's It's all to do with them and that was just like boom. 107 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:16,800 Well I have one paragraph that's completely starred in here for 108 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,600 that second agreement and I'm not going to read the whole book 109 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,600 to you guys I promise because we have a lot to get through but it 110 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,500 has to do with this. And it says if you can make this 111 00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:29,400 second agreement, a habit you will find that nothing can put 112 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,900 you back into hell. There's a huge amount of Freedom 113 00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:34,300 that comes to you when you take nothing personally. 114 00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:38,200 You become immune to Black magicians and no spell can 115 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,300 affect you regardless of how strong it may be. 116 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,300 The whole world can gossip about you, and if you don't take it 117 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,600 personally, you are immune. Someone can intentionally send 118 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,500 emotional poison. And if you don't take it 119 00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,300 personally, you will not eat it. When you don't take the 120 00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,100 emotional poison, it becomes even worse in the sender, but 121 00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:57,100 not in you. It's so good. 122 00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:01,400 It's just everything every page. I read that it was like, oh my 123 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,100 God. Duh, of course. 124 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,800 Yes. Or like one thing I loved about 125 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,500 this book journey which I feel. We've both gone through is 126 00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:15,200 reading books that I, even if I already have kind of deeply 127 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,000 connected with the message of the book, I still love reading 128 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,500 different takes on it because it gives you different words to use 129 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,000 based on who you're talking with. 130 00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:28,300 And based on what points you want to get across to the crowd, 131 00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:33,000 you know, it's I've definitely felt my ego pipe up looking at 132 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,400 some books to read because like, oh well, I've already learned 133 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,200 this. I've already read a book on this 134 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:38,700 topic. Yeah. 135 00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:42,300 I'm like, okay that's kind of a sign that maybe I should read 136 00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:47,800 this book and I this is amazing. Like it's something that I would 137 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,900 give as a gift. Literally anybody. 138 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,900 And like I said, it's very approachable language. 139 00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:57,100 It's so simple. It's So short, I just I can't 140 00:07:57,100 --> 00:07:59,400 recommend it enough and just like a not flip through it 141 00:07:59,407 --> 00:08:04,700 anymore, just ancient wisdom. That is still so relevant today. 142 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,600 Yeah. Okay. 143 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,900 That's The Four Agreements. Let's move on to the power of 144 00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:14,100 now, which we could have a whole episode about the Power of Now. 145 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,700 But when did you find this book? Carly when did you read it? 146 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Read it a while back, right? Probably like a year or so ago I 147 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,000 read that. I had been hearing about it for 148 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,400 a while and then just finally was I read it during a time 149 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,600 where I was super in my head about everything and having a 150 00:08:36,608 --> 00:08:39,900 hard time not thinking about the future and not questioning 151 00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,300 things, all of that and I was like, okay I know that this is 152 00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:46,100 not not how I want to be doing things. 153 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,400 So let's let's check this book out. 154 00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,700 I am flipping through to see how much highlighting I have in 155 00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,700 here, again. A lot of highlighting, I love 156 00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,900 marking up my books. I know you're much better about 157 00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:58,600 it than I am. I let me go grab this book 158 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,200 though, to place. The reason I like marking it up. 159 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,800 I used to be somebody who kept my books in pristine condition 160 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,700 because I just thought that that meant I was taking really good 161 00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,500 care of them. But honestly, I would almost 162 00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:14,400 rather go get a book from a second hand store and see. 163 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,500 What impacted other people and then those other people have. 164 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,500 And I also like marking them up because if I go back and read 165 00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:24,100 this in the future, I like seeing what impacted me back at 166 00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:27,800 that time and it, because I'll find myself highlighting 167 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,000 different things as I learn and grow, I could read The Power of 168 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,500 Now, again and get different information and knowledge from 169 00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:37,000 it, with where I'm at now in my life. 170 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,900 Then when I read it the first time, which so much, I don't 171 00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:44,400 even think I finish this, I am like a Serial non-book finish. 172 00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:49,600 Sure, I read I like get obsessed with these books and then all of 173 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,100 a sudden I'm just done reading it but I'm not done with it. 174 00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:56,200 I don't know. I'm trusting that I must have 175 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,800 been impacted in the way that I was meant to be and it will come 176 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,100 back around like maybe I'll pick this up. 177 00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:07,100 Now, the biggest message on The Power of Now is just that 178 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,900 nothing exists, except the present moment and you are not 179 00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:14,400 your mind. I remember reading. 180 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,700 Thing about the ego only paying attention to the past and the 181 00:10:18,708 --> 00:10:22,200 future because that that creates your sense of self. 182 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,100 So as long as you're attached to the version of yourself that 183 00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,900 existed in the past and what you did in the past that you can't 184 00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:33,700 grow and like do what you're what you want to because you're 185 00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:37,100 attached to that but then also the future doesn't exist either. 186 00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,500 So what you're doing right now is the only thing that matters 187 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,900 so Carly is going to read something. 188 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:45,800 I put right to this. So because have you ever 189 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,800 experienced done thought or felt anything outside the now? 190 00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:53,700 Do you think you ever will is it possible for anything to happen 191 00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,700 or be outside the? Now the answer is obvious is it 192 00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:59,800 not nothing? Ever happened in the past. 193 00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:03,300 It happened in the now. Nothing will ever happen in the 194 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:07,200 future. It will happen in the now and 195 00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:11,200 that basically sums up. I think the entire message of 196 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,900 the book. Yeah, but you should definitely 197 00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:15,800 read it because There's so much more than that. 198 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,300 Oh yeah, no he like gets further deeply into that but it's 199 00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:22,600 amazing. It just really I remember 200 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,000 feeling such a sense of Peace reading that book like it's all 201 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000 okay like I've always been okay in the present moment and that's 202 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,500 what I come back to you anytime I'm really stressed out or 203 00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:39,600 worried about something that's going to happen or having 204 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,500 anxious thoughts about something that I did that I regret or 205 00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:45,500 something like that. It's like it's I overheard over 206 00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:49,300 and done or it hasn't happened and either way, I am perfectly 207 00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:51,400 safe, fine. And okay, right now. 208 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,500 So I don't need to feel this way and then I let it go. 209 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,300 So yeah, I think if I remember in this book because again, a 210 00:11:58,308 --> 00:12:02,200 lot of this book's touch on this Sim same T, same teachings. 211 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,800 But he talks to you about the kind of the difference between 212 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,200 suffering and pain as well. Like, you know, pain is what 213 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,100 happens in the current moment, we feel the emotion and then 214 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,400 suffering is something we do to ourselves. 215 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,100 Elves because of the fact that we are not living fully in the, 216 00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:19,900 now that we are stuck in our anxious thoughts. 217 00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,600 We are questioning things were regretting. 218 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,200 Things were stuck in the past or we're anxious and thinking about 219 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,400 the future and the, literally, the easiest way to get out of 220 00:12:30,408 --> 00:12:33,800 that pattern is to just be here now. 221 00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:37,800 And it's, it's powerful. Have you read the war of art by 222 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,800 side must be light read that yet. 223 00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:45,100 Highly highly recommend. This is another very short one, 224 00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,800 and honestly, some pages have one paragraph on them, that's 225 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,300 like not even half a page. Each page / chapter is a 226 00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:57,200 different little topic and his little Riff on it, but it's all 227 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,200 about resistance. So he focuses a lot on in 228 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000 creativity because he is an author. 229 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,000 So, it's kind of all of his Thoughts and recommendations and 230 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,700 knowledge on the resistance that you feel when you're trying to 231 00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:16,500 do something do something different trying to create 232 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:20,200 something, move forward with your business and you're feeling 233 00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,400 anything. Like I mean, every I'll just 234 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,900 read some of the page titles like resistance has. 235 00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:29,800 Internal resistance is impersonal resistance only 236 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,800 opposes in One Direction. Resistance is fueled by fear 237 00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:36,300 resistance is most powerful. At the Finish Line, resistance 238 00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:39,500 recruits allies resistance and Nation. 239 00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:42,900 So like every single page is kind of a different different 240 00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:48,000 little frame on Resistance. But again, this was another one, 241 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,200 I started highlighting and I just stopped highlighting 242 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,800 because I'm like every single page of the whole book is very 243 00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:58,900 very helpful. And while he talks about kind of 244 00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:03,400 logical ways to like, get over resistance, like after you read 245 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,000 this book, if you're still feeling resistance is something 246 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,600 you didn't really get the point. It also has that frame of it 247 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,300 doesn't freaking matter like get over it just it's all made up 248 00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:18,300 and not taking yourself so seriously. 249 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,800 Exactly. So it really has that same focus 250 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,900 and while it it doesn't come off as like you wouldn't look at 251 00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,500 this. The war of art break through the 252 00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:32,100 blocks and win your inner creative battles as a spiritual 253 00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:38,700 book. 100% is a spiritual book about just kind of letting go 254 00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:43,700 and like doing what you want to do in this life and you just 255 00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:46,700 kind of worried breaks through any excuse that your mind could 256 00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:51,400 give you not do the thing. Ya, the war of art really 257 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,500 recommend, it's super short, very easy to read, it's like 165 258 00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:59,000 pages. But again, some of the pages 259 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,500 have three sentences on them. So very easy to read and I have 260 00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,700 to get that when I'm in the US. Yes, please do. 261 00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,200 That would be an easy one to toss in your suitcase. 262 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,700 Excited. I hope I get to see you. 263 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,500 I know me too. So I think we both read discover 264 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:20,300 your Dharma by Sahara Rose. If anybody is into spirituality 265 00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:23,200 stuff and follows people on Instagram, you've probably seen 266 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,600 Sahara. She's very active there in her 267 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,600 book is a Vedic guide to finding your purpose. 268 00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:36,200 So if you are questioning what you're here for, trying to find 269 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,200 some Direction. This is a really fun book 270 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,300 because it's also interactive, you're learning a lot, there's 271 00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:48,000 going to be some approaches, like it is a Vedic Vedic frame, 272 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,200 like Dharma, obviously, you're going to be reading things that 273 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,700 maybe you're not familiar with but if you're open to it and 274 00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,600 like, finding out what energy you relate to and how that can 275 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,800 show up in a job or in like whatever you want to do it, this 276 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,200 is fun because there's quizzes, there's some reflection 277 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,000 questions at something. You definitely need a notebook 278 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,300 to go along. With and work through it while 279 00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:11,800 you read it. This is one of those books that 280 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,000 for me, I don't think I will probably ever read it again. 281 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,400 However, it like really propelled me down the path of 282 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:27,700 like, mindfully creating my own life and really starting to 283 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,100 learn how to listen to myself and be aware of what I am 284 00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:35,200 creating. So I would. 285 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,500 Yeah, I also would highly recommend it. 286 00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:42,200 Yeah, I'd say the impact it had on me was Can you give me the 287 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,200 validation of where I saw my life going? 288 00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:48,100 And I actually after I finish this book or in the middle of 289 00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:53,400 this book is when we signed up for the coaching program. 290 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,800 So kind of going down that type of path and like, everything 291 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,000 lining up from that book and then that's when we found him a 292 00:17:01,008 --> 00:17:04,200 design and my human design was saying the same thing as the 293 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,700 book was telling me and as my Myers-Briggs and Enneagram like 294 00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:11,700 they were all saying the same thing about My life and I'm not 295 00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:15,200 typing in singles and I would like okay yeah I'm getting this 296 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,099 repeated message from so many different places, so it was 297 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,900 which is on one place really in the end. 298 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,200 Yeah, so yeah not gonna talk about that one anymore but 299 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,800 highly recommend if you're feeling just a bit lost in 300 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,000 general, that it's a good book to just guide you a little bit 301 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,900 and maybe give you some that reassurance on what you should 302 00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:41,600 do or what you might like to do. Never Should well what you might 303 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,300 like, and enjoy Harley brought up the artists way, and I 304 00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:47,200 haven't read that. So, if you want to give a little 305 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,200 bit of a talk on the artists way and how that one is fun to work 306 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:57,000 with, of course. Okay, so cbh also finish this. 307 00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:03,900 However, I did, I think the first half at some how many 308 00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:06,500 weeks is it? It will kind of like a small 309 00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:11,200 course. So I think it's 12 weeks We and 310 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,000 each week you go through kind of a topic. 311 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,600 Yes, 12 weeks. I did the first. 312 00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:27,200 Yeah, the first five I think but it's really a beautiful way. 313 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:35,200 To reconnect with your inner child and to kind of see what 314 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:39,400 throughout your life, especially your childhood has been blocking 315 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,400 your connection to your own Artistry in your own creativity 316 00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:45,500 and she uses a lot of beautiful terms. 317 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,700 That makes it kind of fun and light-hearted as well. 318 00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:53,700 One of the biggest takeaways that I took from it and I think 319 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:55,200 you were doing them for a while as well. 320 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,300 Is she her name by the way is Julia Cameron. 321 00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:04,800 She uses the concept of the morning pages in her. 322 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,900 So basically why you're doing this and a lot of people who 323 00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:12,800 have done this course. So have done the morning Pages 324 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,100 for many years after finishing this as well, but it's just a 325 00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:19,100 way right away in the morning to connect with what is on your 326 00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,700 mind and get kind of those thoughts out of the way. 327 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:25,300 So then you can have more of a clear connection to your 328 00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:30,000 creativity. I really, I really love it. 329 00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:35,900 And if anyone is kind of creative already, may be doing 330 00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:40,300 more, artsy things. It's perfect for them for you or 331 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:43,500 it's also perfect for people who maybe have never thought of 332 00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:46,600 themselves as a creative person. To really tap in with your 333 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,700 creativity because we are all creative people. 334 00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:56,200 We are creation. So we are here to create and 335 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,300 that looks different for everybody. 336 00:19:57,300 --> 00:20:00,800 But we are we're here to create our lives and create something 337 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,200 unique for the world, and that's one of her main messages in this 338 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,100 book. So, for an example, the first 339 00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:12,900 four weeks, week one is recovering a sense of safety. 340 00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:16,000 So that's where you kind of go through your enemy with thing in 341 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,900 connection with your core negative beliefs. 342 00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:22,700 And also though you're a lie within so affirmative weapons, 343 00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:25,600 she calls them creative affirmations and then she gives 344 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,400 you some tasks. Yeah. 345 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,300 So then week two is recovering a Sense of identity, and I really 346 00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:38,000 loved this this week. I read this section, says it go 347 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,100 insane poisonous Playmates. So basically, when you were 348 00:20:41,108 --> 00:20:44,600 young, kind of those people that maybe unbeknownst to yourself at 349 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,300 a time, blocked your little creative child up a little bit 350 00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:52,500 crazy makers in your life.

So so I want to bring up loving 359 00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:30,400 what is for a while. I was talking about that on 360 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,600 every episode. It's such a good book and it's 361 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,300 actually, it's actually transcripts from Byron. 362 00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:45,900 Katie's actual talks, she does professional speaking and does 363 00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:50,100 the work live and then she also does Retreats, so people can go 364 00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:55,300 and do the work. It the work is for questions, 365 00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:58,900 basically that she asks but it's not just for questions. 366 00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:03,400 There's no motive. It's all about getting you to 367 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,900 come to your own answers about what is really blocking you. 368 00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:10,900 Mmm. So my favorite things that she 369 00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:14,100 talks about is that you have it highlighted. 370 00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:19,000 The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues 371 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,500 with what is, oh wait, God. Just cracks me up. 372 00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:31,100 Anytime I'm feeling like upset or angry or Or like just it's 373 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:34,100 always because I'm feeling like the person in front of me should 374 00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:36,100 drive faster. Well, they should nothing. 375 00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:38,300 They're just not there driving slow and that's what it is. 376 00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:44,400 Like, okay, just it's fine or so and so should apologize because 377 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,400 they were bad person when they said XYZ. 378 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,800 Well, they're not and they're they probably won't so get over 379 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,400 it. I mean, it's a little bit of 380 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,800 that. It's a little bit of tough love. 381 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,900 Like it. Just is what it is and no matter 382 00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:58,500 how stressed or anxious or angry you get about it. 383 00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:00,600 It's not going to For can change, okay? 384 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,600 So like how can you work through it? 385 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,800 And so that's what she does with her questions. 386 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,800 And she does it with very, very deep traumas as well. 387 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,900 Like this book, I like because you can kind of flip to 388 00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:21,400 whichever transcript is a topic that you need to hear and some 389 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,800 of them, some of them like had certain parts that. 390 00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:27,600 Yeah, I might not be going through what the person is going 391 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,900 through. Exactly. 392 00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:31,400 But the advice, the advice that came through or the 393 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,200 realizations, the person came to through speaking with Katie it 394 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,700 applied to my life, like you always get from these books. 395 00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:40,400 What you need? So, for example, some of the 396 00:23:40,408 --> 00:23:43,100 transcripts in here are my husband's Affair. 397 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,200 Elise is ignoring me. My father was horrible, Stanley 398 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,400 didn't have to die. I need my family's approval, 399 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,200 Peter broke his word to me. My son and daughter are being 400 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,600 Reckless with their lives, so like those are some of the 401 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,900 topics that she goes through. With people. 402 00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:02,900 So she'll just pull someone on stage that she feels called to 403 00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:07,100 talk to. And so those were just actually 404 00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:11,300 those were just doing the work on couples and family life and 405 00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,500 then there's the doing the work on work and money. 406 00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:20,300 So angry at Corporate America as one of those doing the work on 407 00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:22,400 self judgments. Like the way people are seeing 408 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,800 themselves and thinking that they're horrible person. 409 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,000 So like doing the work on your own thoughts, doing the work 410 00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:32,000 with children. So she actually brings a child 411 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,400 onstage and that's that was an amazing one as well, because 412 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,400 children are less, you know, filtered and blocked and it's 413 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,300 just amazing to see that shift when she asks the questions. 414 00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:49,800 There's all sorts of things being afraid of death, or I'm 415 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,400 angry at so-and-so for dying. I need to make a decision. 416 00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:58,100 She was supposed to make me happy or there's just so many 417 00:24:58,100 --> 00:24:59,300 different Topics in here. Here. 418 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,200 But I just I can't even explain to you a couple of the questions 419 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,800 that she asked is like, first of all tell me what's going on and 420 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,500 then always, is it true? And then she says, is it really 421 00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:20,500 true but she really digs into like what happens? 422 00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:22,700 How do you react? How you, how do you feel when 423 00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:25,200 you believe the thought that you're telling yourself about 424 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,200 reality? Anyway, I could go on and on 425 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,200 about this book and she actually has resources on her website of 426 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,900 how to do the work yourself, but I just honestly think this is 427 00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:41,600 amazing. And once, you know, how to work 428 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,800 with the questions that something that you can even 429 00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:46,600 apply to your relationships, just a deep in it and to become 430 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,000 a better listener and to help friends and family, work through 431 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,700 it to become a better parent. It's just amazing. 432 00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:57,600 I can't say better. The things about this. 433 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,100 I'm gonna have to bring like five books back from the US with 434 00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:04,500 me. That is a thick one. 435 00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:09,100 It looks a bit aggressive. 355 pages, I guess. 436 00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,900 That's not horrible, but I mean, it's a bit large. 437 00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:16,800 But like I said, Frankie, it's chunky, but you can flip through 438 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,400 it and kind of read whatever transcript you feel called to 439 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:26,700 read at a certain time and the I need my family to And me one 440 00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:32,500 really hit me that was like last year last year, I read that and 441 00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:38,100 it was it like moved me to tears because it was it was amazing 442 00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:39,800 the way she works through it with somebody. 443 00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:46,100 So anyway you wanted to bring up the autobiography of a yogi 444 00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:49,200 which I have not read. Oh yes. 445 00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:55,800 Okay so this one's Very different than the other ones in 446 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:03,400 the sense that it's not so much like a self-growth self-help for 447 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,300 a mindset book if you will but this is incredible and I'm 448 00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:12,300 actually still reading it. I'm about three-quarters of the 449 00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:15,500 way through and it's an autobiography. 450 00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:20,100 So of paramahansa Yogananda and this is actually a lot of 451 00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:25,800 people's kind of first books into this kind of world of like 452 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,400 spirituality of the yogic, philosophies of all that stuff 453 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:37,500 that hat is kind of Basically all of this stuff that a lot of 454 00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:42,200 these books we've already spoken about all of the deep deep 455 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,300 teachings can be even traced back to a lot of yogic 456 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,900 philosophies and actually, I don't know. 457 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,100 I think I told you this but when Steve Jobs passed away, this was 458 00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:58,800 the only book on his Kindle and he gave it to every single 459 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:05,000 person who came to his funeral. So it's like like this one is, 460 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,100 is definitely a potent life-changer one as well, but 461 00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:12,600 it's just about his life and a lot of it in here. 462 00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:17,600 II have imagined, some of my family members reading this and 463 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,000 being like class of bunch of bullshit, like get that 464 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,200 happened. This is not even true what the 465 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,900 heck and a lot of the stuff that he witnessed as a child and 466 00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:32,800 throughout his life like he was connected and in the midst of 467 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,700 very powerful beings on this planet. 468 00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:43,300 And so things that he experienced seemed unbelievable 469 00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:49,400 to us but it's just an incredible example of we really 470 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,200 know nothing at all and there's so much more out there than what 471 00:28:54,200 --> 00:29:01,400 our logical brain wants to believe and think it's really I 472 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,200 mean, I really don't know what else to say about it. 473 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:09,300 It just shows that there's yeah, there's things out there that 474 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,100 are really beautiful and really incredible and that we all have 475 00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:23,700 this ability to connect deeper and more No, we connect deeper 476 00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:29,700 within ourselves is actually also connecting deeper to what's 477 00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:32,900 with out of ourselves as well. You know, I don't know if that 478 00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:35,700 made any sense but it's a, it's a good one. 479 00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:38,800 I promised, I need to add it to my list. 480 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,500 I'm going to put a little dot, buy it for ones that I want to 481 00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:43,300 read. There's been a couple of 482 00:29:43,308 --> 00:29:49,200 different versions of it. The one I have is the original 483 00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:53,300 point of the book. They've just been once that have 484 00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:58,000 been changed a little bit or like added some things and 485 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,600 they're really good. I've heard good things about 486 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,000 them, but there's something about like, reading the exact 487 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,600 same way that it, he wrote it because this would have been 488 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,600 written in the 1940s. I think that's just really, 489 00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:12,900 really special. I think I wanted to bring up big 490 00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:15,900 magic because I think we've both read it. 491 00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:20,000 Yes, I love that book. It's such a good book. 492 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,800 It's big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. 493 00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:29,300 It's a very, I would say, kind of a mainstream personal growth 494 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000 book. She also wrote Eat, Pray, Love 495 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,800 for anybody who's familiar with that as well, but it's creative 496 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:42,100 living beyond fear. So again, yes, she focuses on 497 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,000 primarily authors like when she's talking about being 498 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,600 creative, But not though, I mean she she frames some of her 499 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,900 examples as to authors because that's her experience. 500 00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:55,700 But I would highly recommend reading this just if you're 501 00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:58,600 anybody who has an idea and you're trying to bring it to 502 00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,800 life. Yes. 503 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:07,900 Very helpful and useful and she's super funny too, but one 504 00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:10,300 of the main things that I love about this, which Carly's going 505 00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:12,700 to be like, yeah, that's what we talk about all the time, but 506 00:31:12,700 --> 00:31:18,800 it's that The ideas you have are not just yours like they come to 507 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,700 you because they want to be created and they're searching 508 00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:24,600 for you just as much as you're searching for them and they want 509 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,400 to come to life if you decide not to put in the effort and 510 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,900 that the idea isn't for you. Like no like creating my own 511 00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:33,900 business. No, I don't really like that. 512 00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:35,900 Someone else is going to get that idea. 513 00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:38,500 And so you have to be okay with the fact that if you say no to 514 00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:41,000 it, it's also going to leave you and find someone else. 515 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:46,300 And she had a crazy example where She almost finished this 516 00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:51,200 entire book, it was a very specific like story time, it was 517 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,600 crazy. It was something about like oil 518 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,600 in the Amazon and a love story. It was like, something was 519 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,300 really kind of weird and Niche. She didn't finish it and then 520 00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:05,300 she met somebody at a book like a conference or something 521 00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:07,900 started talking to them and they had written and finished and 522 00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:11,200 published that exact same book with this, very similar 523 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,300 storyline like different character names, but the Same 524 00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:17,400 book and she was like holy shit. I didn't finish. 525 00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:20,000 I didn't follow through and the idea found somebody else. 526 00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:23,000 Yeah. And I feel like we see that all 527 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,500 the time like when someone had like oh my gosh, I had that idea 528 00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:29,700 to or are like oh my gosh. One time I was going to do that 529 00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:32,200 and then I just never got around to it and somebody else is doing 530 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,000 it or you think of something don't do it and then see a 531 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,500 commercial for it later that year. 532 00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:42,400 God, it's so true. This also I like cause she she 533 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,600 talked about this and also Lee spoke about you know when an 534 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,400 idea comes to you to really sit with it and be honest with 535 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:56,100 yourself and with it like am I able to bring you to life? 536 00:32:56,100 --> 00:33:00,200 Like is this really something that my energy is really here to 537 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:05,000 do? And if it's not to say thank you 538 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,000 and give it almost permission to like okay now go find someone 539 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:09,800 else. It's okay. 540 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,300 I do not have the capability right now to bring you to life 541 00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:17,400 and That has been something. I actually really just connected 542 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,800 with this. Just now that I have kind of 543 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,600 taken into practice and I kind of forgot that it came from this 544 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:30,000 book but I get ideas all the time, every day about the 545 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,100 craziest things. And one thing that I've begun to 546 00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:37,100 do after reading that book is to really be like, okay, is this 547 00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:43,000 truly mine is this truly mine to create and sometimes sometimes 548 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,000 quite often If the answer is no, like it's it's not not in 549 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,600 alignment with me at this time and I literally would say, 550 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,400 sometimes out loud, sometimes in my mind. 551 00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:57,700 Okay, now, go find someone else. Like I thank you for giving me a 552 00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:01,900 chance, but I you please go find someone else and that has 553 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,700 allowed me so much more head space. 554 00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:10,000 Because truly, when I do that, the idea really leaves me 555 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,000 whereas before I felt I had all of these unborn ideas floating 556 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,500 around in my head. All at once, taking up space, 557 00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:20,900 and that was something that reading that book, I guess I 558 00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,900 didn't really connect with that, I was going to be putting into 559 00:34:23,900 --> 00:34:28,800 practice as much as I did. I want to read this page because 560 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,699 I dog-eared it and then put hearts and said this entire page 561 00:34:34,900 --> 00:34:39,000 And it's under the title of decorate yourself, and I'm not 562 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,800 going to read the entire section, but basically she met 563 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,900 somebody who's covered in tattoos. 564 00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:48,500 So kind of starts with that conversation and she said, I 565 00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:51,699 love this. I asked her once how she could 566 00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:55,199 allow her body to be marked up. So casually with permanent ink. 567 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,200 She said, Oh, but you must understand. 568 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,200 It's not permanent. It's just temporary confused. 569 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,900 I asked you mean all your tattoos are temporary. 570 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,500 She smiled and I said no Liz. My tattoos are permanent. 571 00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:08,400 It's just my body. That's temporary. 572 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,900 So is yours. We're only here on Earth for a 573 00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,200 short while so I decided a long time ago. 574 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,200 I wanted to decorate myself as playfully as I can, while I 575 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,600 still have the time. I love this so much. 576 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,300 I can't even tell you because, like Eileen. 577 00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:24,400 I also want to live the most vividly decorated temporary life 578 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,800 that I can. I don't just mean physically. 579 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,300 I mean, emotionally spiritually intellectually. 580 00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,100 I don't want to be afraid of bright colors, or new sounds or 581 00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:35,800 Big Love or risky decisions. Strange experiences or weird 582 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,500 Endeavors or sudden changes or even failure mind you I'm not 583 00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:42,200 going to go out and cover myself with tattoos simply because that 584 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,500 doesn't happen to be my jam. But I am going to spend as much 585 00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:47,700 time as I can, creating delightful things out of my 586 00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:49,800 existence because that's what brings me awake. 587 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,100 And that's what brings me alive. I do my decorating with printer 588 00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:56,800 ink, not with tattoo ink, but my urge to write comes from exactly 589 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,100 the same place as Eileen's urge to turn her skin into a vivid 590 00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:04,000 canvas while she is still here, it comes from a place of hey. 591 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,100 Why not? Because it's all just temporary 592 00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:11,900 mmm. So good. 593 00:36:12,700 --> 00:36:14,600 Yep. That sums up my perspective and 594 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,700 another in other words like we said earlier, don't take 595 00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:20,800 yourself so seriously, just have fun. 596 00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:24,800 Oh my gosh. If people just had more fun the 597 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,400 world would be a much better place. 598 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:31,600 Yeah. There's a couple honorable 599 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,600 mentions that I'm not going to really dive into They had an 600 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,500 impact on my life and I just wanted to mention it Early, 601 00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:40,700 Retirement Extreme, which is ironic because Carly recommended 602 00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:42,000 it. And I swear to you she only read 603 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,600 one chapter maybe maybe three and it had three chapters and I 604 00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:49,800 breezed through the whole thing but I will say it's a very dense 605 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,300 book and it's a finance book. Primarily I would say, I 606 00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:56,600 probably put in that category, I wouldn't recommend it to 607 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,100 everybody but long story short, what it showed me was how little 608 00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:06,600 I really need to survive and it's kind of what Prompted the 609 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,900 it was like the thing that I needed to sell my a lot of my 610 00:37:11,900 --> 00:37:15,400 possessions and like donate and pack up before I went on my trip 611 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:21,900 because I was really attached to the home that I created and I 612 00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:23,600 was like well I can't get rid of that. 613 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,800 Like I just bought it or like my closet. 614 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,500 I'm like, I've had these calls for so long like I loved it like 615 00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:31,800 what if I want to wear that? And it just kind of cut all that 616 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,100 shit and was like you really don't need Thing besides one 617 00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:38,900 pair of pants a t-shirt like a plate. 618 00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:43,000 Like at the end of the, you can you can argue and be like it's 619 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,900 nice to have more than that but truly you don't need more than 620 00:37:46,900 --> 00:37:50,200 that. And we all have so much and you 621 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,100 just you don't need it to live. So it really it is early 622 00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:57,800 retirement, extreme it is Extreme. 623 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,100 So please go into it with that mindset if you're going to read 624 00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:04,000 this book but it was the advice I needed in order. 625 00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:06,900 Order to take the leap and realize that I could live out of 626 00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:10,900 a suitcase for a while with my car and my suitcase, and that's 627 00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:13,200 all I needed. Anyway, I needed that advice. 628 00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:18,700 The other one was year of yes, by Shonda Rhimes, love Shonda 629 00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:21,900 Rhimes. And I thought it was going to be 630 00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:26,000 kind of like, I don't know about Auto autobiography. 631 00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:29,200 I always mix up biography and autobiography, and she wrote it 632 00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:37,600 in auto So it's about how she used to be very planned and 633 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,700 organized very type, a very much. 634 00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:43,300 Like I used to be needing to know all the information needing 635 00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:46,200 to plan it out. Put it on her calendar needed to 636 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,500 weigh the pros. And cons said, no to a lot of 637 00:38:48,508 --> 00:38:51,700 things because she was uncertain of what the outcome would be. 638 00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:56,700 And she challenged herself one year to say yes, to absolutely 639 00:38:56,700 --> 00:39:00,100 everything. And even like a lot of the 640 00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:02,300 things she's like, I don't understand. 641 00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,400 But yes, I guess like I'll try it. 642 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,900 I'll do it in the things that changed in her life and 643 00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:11,400 opportunities that she had. Because she said, yes to even 644 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,900 something. As simple as dinner with some 645 00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:16,100 person that she would have normally said, no to because, 646 00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:17,600 like, why would I go to dinner with this person? 647 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,800 Just say, yes. Just go do the thing. 648 00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:26,900 And that also really prompted my road trip and, and all Carly's 649 00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:28,100 holding up the surrender experiment. 650 00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:29,900 Because we need to talk about that one, too, and it has to do 651 00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:33,700 with that. But I said, Yes, to a lot of 652 00:39:33,700 --> 00:39:36,800 things on my trip that I would have normally said, no, to 653 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,900 because I would make up some some reason that it would be 654 00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:44,700 dangerous or irresponsible or whatever. 655 00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:48,500 So that book really spoke to me. The surrender. 656 00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:51,000 Experiment, Carly. Oh yeah, it's on my list. 657 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,400 I need to read it like very high. 658 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,100 Seems like started reading it again. 659 00:39:56,300 --> 00:39:59,900 Now, that is literally that like saying, yes to things that come 660 00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:04,300 their way and this book, their surrender experiment is written 661 00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:06,500 by Michael a singer. He also has written the 662 00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:09,300 untethered Soul, which is a pretty popular one. 663 00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:14,300 I've I have yet to read that but this I read within the last year 664 00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:20,000 as well. and again kind of to those two that time of like my 665 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,200 brain trying to figure everything out and not getting 666 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:27,700 me anywhere and this I love this book for two reasons. 667 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:35,000 One was his own story about how his Awakening kind of happened 668 00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:41,700 and it was like very small simple just a thought like that 669 00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:47,100 came to him and he couldn't like, you know, just Put him on 670 00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,400 this path. And that really spoke to me 671 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:54,600 because I feel that a lot of people in the coaching industry, 672 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,800 the spiritual Community, all the stuff they all talk about how 673 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,500 like they've had these like life or death moments that really 674 00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:04,100 restrict them. They woke them up the wick in 675 00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,600 there, their gifts and awake, and all this stuff. 676 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,300 And I would say that, you know, I've not had anything quite 677 00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:13,100 like, that happens to me. And I don't think Alexis you 678 00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:16,300 would say the same either. And for a while, I was really 679 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,100 Questioning my like ability to this is like so stupid, but I 680 00:41:20,107 --> 00:41:23,100 was questioning my ability to really truly help people because 681 00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:26,900 I was like, well, I haven't like suffered like some of these 682 00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:30,100 people have like I haven't like gone through, I've gone through 683 00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:32,600 shit because everyone's gone through shit but like not like 684 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,600 some people have, you know, and I realize I'm like, wait, wait 685 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,500 wait a second. I got to be very careful because 686 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:44,400 we attract everything and I do not want to be attracting things 687 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,200 like that in right around that time I read. 688 00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:49,700 This and his journey was just so beautiful and he basically 689 00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:57,300 realized that life was really trying to pull him in a certain 690 00:41:57,300 --> 00:42:01,900 direction and create something with him and so he just 691 00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:05,400 surrendered to it and whenever things will come his way and 692 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,300 things would happen if you would just say yes. 693 00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:13,700 Even if his ego even if his mind did not like it, he started even 694 00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:16,200 listening to that more and like really saying yes to those, 695 00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:19,600 Those things down because he's like, okay the egos not writing, 696 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:26,000 not driving this boat, like I am and the shit that happened in 697 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,700 his life like where his life ended up quote is crazy but it 698 00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:39,900 was just a beautiful example.
