SPEAKER_01
I realize for every month or every day or every week that you re apart, it takes that same amount of time to recreate that intimacy.
0
SPEAKER_01
So as much as we hope that phones and messages and Zooms and FaceTimes can keep the communication, it can keep the connection, obviously there s love, but the intimacy has to be reinvested.
0
SPEAKER_01
Imagine if you did not tend to a garden for six months.
0
SPEAKER_01
It would be messy, it would be wild, and then you d have to reinvest.
0
SPEAKER_01
Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the number one health podcast in the world.
0
SPEAKER_01
Thanks to each and every one of you that come back every week to listen, learn and grow.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s coming to my favorite time of the year.
0
SPEAKER_01
I mean, it already is.
0
SPEAKER_01
I love the holiday season.
0
SPEAKER_01
I love the festive spirit and
0
SPEAKER_01
I love the gifts, I love the energy, I love the celebration, but what I also love is how there s this natural inclination to want to reflect.
0
SPEAKER_01
And if you re listening to this episode right now, it s because you know that
0
SPEAKER_01
introspection and reflection are powerful for setting us up.
0
SPEAKER_01
I think a lot of us want to rest, which is natural.
0
SPEAKER_01
A lot of us want to let go, which is natural.
0
SPEAKER_01
A lot of us just want to move on too.
0
SPEAKER_01
And that s all good and well, but I think the benefits of reflection are often underrated.
0
SPEAKER_01
And they re often forgotten because as a society, we choose to just rush to the next thing.
0
SPEAKER_01
We choose to just move on as quickly as possible to the next thing and distract ourselves.
0
SPEAKER_01
And taking a moment towards the end of the year to sit with yourself, to journal, to ask yourself questions, can be so powerful.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I m gonna share with you the seven questions that I m asking myself this year, and I change these every year, because I discover new questions.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m gonna share with you questions that are super powerful, insightful, some of them are really fun, some of them are easy, some of them are really gonna surprise you, and some of them are going to be ones that remind you
0
SPEAKER_01
of the journey you ve been on.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I read this amazing study that talked about how reflection is a really vital tool for growth and personal development.
0
SPEAKER_01
We think it s always learning something new, building something new, starting a new habit.
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, all of that comes from reflecting and making sure that our reflection shows us what we truly want to embody, embrace, and build in our lives.
0
SPEAKER_01
And so I am so glad that you chose On Purpose today.
0
SPEAKER_01
Thank you so much for showing up to this episode.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I want to dive straight in to these seven questions.
0
SPEAKER_01
So the first question is one that I think you ll expect, but I do want you to think about it.
0
SPEAKER_01
What is a challenge that you ve overcome this year?
0
SPEAKER_01
What was something really difficult that you did?
0
SPEAKER_01
What was something that you broke through?
0
SPEAKER_01
Maybe there was a fear.
0
SPEAKER_01
Maybe there was something that you hadn t done for a long time.
0
SPEAKER_01
Maybe there was something that was holding you back.
0
SPEAKER_01
Maybe there was something that you just
0
SPEAKER_01
didn t feel you had what it takes, but you did it.
0
SPEAKER_01
What was that?
0
SPEAKER_01
And it doesn t have to be big.
0
SPEAKER_01
I think we think about doing hard things as something huge.
0
SPEAKER_01
Sometimes it could be having a difficult conversation with a family member.
0
SPEAKER_01
Sometimes it was disconnecting with a friend or reconnecting with a friend.
0
SPEAKER_01
What was a challenge that you overcame this year personally?
0
SPEAKER_01
I know for me, it was my health journey.
0
SPEAKER_01
I had double hernia surgery, which was a big part of a challenge that I overcame this year of having to go through that.
0
SPEAKER_01
Another challenge I overcame this year, which really, really had a big impact on me was taking charge of some things that I was hoping other people would take care of, right?
0
SPEAKER_01
A challenge in my mindset that I felt I didn t have enough time, that someone else could do it, that I didn t think I had to do it,
0
SPEAKER_01
And I realized that taking charge of that felt so good.
0
SPEAKER_01
That was a challenge for me to find the time, to find the energy to take care of it when I d hoped that I could outsource it or that someone else could take care of it for me.
0
SPEAKER_01
Another challenge that I overcame this year, and I m sharing these because I want you to see the difference in scale, the different types of challenges that exist.
0
SPEAKER_01
I think a big challenge for me that I overcame this year is that I realized that I could take control back of my schedule, that I didn t have to be subservient or inferior to my schedule.
0
SPEAKER_01
I didn t have to live a life of
0
SPEAKER_01
pure productivity and efficiency if I wanted to take a break, and allowing myself that that was a challenge.
0
SPEAKER_01
Notice how challenges are not always something obvious.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I know that you ve broke through and made a difference and done hard things.
0
SPEAKER_01
I know that.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I don t want you to underestimate it.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I think one of the biggest challenges is that we don t really fully allow ourselves to recognize.
0
SPEAKER_01
We kind of move on and we re like, oh, that s normal.
0
SPEAKER_01
Like, oh, that s okay.
0
SPEAKER_01
Or we re carrying it so heavily on our backs.
0
SPEAKER_01
And so I really want you to think about that journal, about that.
0
SPEAKER_01
And the question you want to ask as a follow-up to that, the challenge you overcame this year, is what did it teach you?
0
SPEAKER_01
What did you learn from it?
0
SPEAKER_01
What did you take away from it?
0
SPEAKER_01
And for me, when I think about the challenge of taking control over my schedule again, I realized that what I learned was what do I want to do with my time?
0
SPEAKER_01
How do I want to live my life?
0
SPEAKER_01
How do I want to breathe?
0
SPEAKER_01
We all have a limited number of breaths on this earth.
0
SPEAKER_01
We all have a limited number of steps on this earth.
0
SPEAKER_01
I want my breaths and steps to be used to serve and create an impact and make a positive difference for myself and for others.
0
SPEAKER_01
And if I m not feeling that my schedule is supporting that,
0
SPEAKER_01
then how am I allowing days, months, weeks, years to just go by?
0
SPEAKER_01
The second question I want you to ask yourself is a surprise you dealt with, something you weren t expecting.
0
SPEAKER_01
that you had to pivot for.
0
SPEAKER_01
The reason I m asking you to reflect on these is that studies show that reflecting on how you ve overcome past challenges helps you to better process negative experiences in the future.
0
SPEAKER_01
People have the ability to use these moments as a source of creativity and motivation.
0
SPEAKER_01
So we think we re bad at dealing with difficulties because we ve never noticed
0
SPEAKER_01
how well we ve dealt with them in the past, if we ve never sat down to reflect on, how did I deal with a bad thing last year?
0
SPEAKER_01
We don t know how to deal with a bad thing next year.
0
SPEAKER_01
So what was a surprise you dealt with?
0
SPEAKER_01
My hernia surgery was definitely a surprise.
0
SPEAKER_01
Getting COVID for me was a surprise for the first time in three years.
0
SPEAKER_01
That was a surprise.
0
SPEAKER_01
I think that pivoting to the new demands, I realized that at the beginning of the year, I thought I had a plan, and then I realized that I d overcommitted in certain areas.
0
SPEAKER_01
That was a surprise that I dealt with, and so I dealt with the surprise that me and Radhi
0
SPEAKER_01
distant for such a long time this year because of her work, my work, because of visa things and issues and challenges and everything else.
0
SPEAKER_01
Like we literally couldn t see each other for nearly six months this year.
0
SPEAKER_01
And that was a big surprise.
0
SPEAKER_01
We didn t plan for that.
0
SPEAKER_01
We didn t know that was going to happen.
0
SPEAKER_01
We didn t have the foresight or the communication to know how to deal
1
SPEAKER_00
And so the way I dealt with that was really interesting that I realized, especially when it comes to relationship surprise, that I realized for every month or every day or every week that you re apart, it takes that same amount of time to recreate that intimacy.
1
SPEAKER_00
So as much as we hope that phones and messages and Zooms and FaceTimes can keep that, it can keep the communication, it can keep the connection, obviously there s love, but the intimacy has to be reinvested, it has to be rebuilt.
1
SPEAKER_00
Imagine if you did not tend to a garden for six months.
1
SPEAKER_00
It would be messy, it would be wild.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then you d have to reinvest.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so, of course, Radhe and I have been together now for nearly 10 years, married for six.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it was just so beautiful to fall in love again and again, like to go through that process of reconnecting, deepening our intimacy, rediscovering each other.
1
SPEAKER_00
And to me, that was a surprise that I dealt with this year.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I m sharing mine with you because I want to be vulnerable with you.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like you know me, you listen to me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m in your head and you re in my heart and life, and I feel like I can open up here, even though it s just me and a microphone, it isn t.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s me and you and your dog on a walk.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s me, you, and your partner.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s me and you in a car.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s me and you at the gym, wherever you are right now.
1
SPEAKER_00
I want to be open with you because I want you to be vulnerable with yourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
The third question that I want you to answer is something you bought this year
1
SPEAKER_00
A tangible thing that you bought this year that you love, an investment that was amazing, like a really good investment of money, something you bought this year and you re like, I am so happy that I put money into that, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
For me, it s probably, I m going to probably use tech.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s probably my iMac and my iPad.
1
SPEAKER_00
They ve been great investments.
1
SPEAKER_00
I travel a lot, so my iPad s amazing when I m traveling.
1
SPEAKER_00
The iMac s great on my desk.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like it s made my time at my desk more productive.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s made it more fulfilling.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was tired of staring at a tiny screen all day, and I feel like having that bigger screen is really helpful.
1
SPEAKER_00
I felt when I was traveling that
1
SPEAKER_00
I wasn t really as productive.
1
SPEAKER_00
I wasn t being able to also entertain myself while I was moving around and traveling.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I just want you to know that you bought something this year.
1
SPEAKER_00
It could have been a course.
1
SPEAKER_00
It could have been a program.
1
SPEAKER_00
It could have been a certification.
1
SPEAKER_00
It could have been a workout.
1
SPEAKER_00
It could have been a therapy session, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
What did you buy this year?
1
SPEAKER_00
It could even be a coat, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
You love this coat that you bought or you love this
1
SPEAKER_00
T-shirt that you bought, this vacation that you bought, what did you spend money on that you re really proud of yourself for, that you re really happy with yourself?
1
SPEAKER_00
Because I think often we spend money and we get really hard on ourselves when it feels like it was wasting money.
1
SPEAKER_00
But when we actually invest money or it grows or it compounds, we don t always feel that way.
1
SPEAKER_00
Right?
1
SPEAKER_00
It s interesting how hard we can be around ourselves.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I shouldn t have bought that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I wish I didn t waste money on that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, that s been a waste of time.
1
SPEAKER_00
And what s something you bought this year that you think, that was great.
1
SPEAKER_00
Another investment I made this year, and I hope you ve been appreciating it if you ve been watching the guest episodes on YouTube, was my studio.
1
SPEAKER_00
I invested a lot into building this beautiful studio space in my home that you can see on our YouTube channel with all the guests that we ve interviewed.
1
SPEAKER_00
That was something I was really proud that we invested in.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because I really want you to have an amazing viewing experience.
1
SPEAKER_00
I want my guests to have an amazing intimate conversation experience.
1
SPEAKER_00
So let s celebrate our expenditures too.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think spending money is something we re always so harsh on ourselves for.
1
SPEAKER_00
What s something you bought that really truly made a difference this year and really feels like it was the right thing to do?
1
SPEAKER_00
Question number four, what s the best book or podcast you listened to this year?
1
SPEAKER_00
What was that episode?
1
SPEAKER_00
What was that page?
1
SPEAKER_00
What was that book?
1
SPEAKER_00
I think for me, definitely it was Dr. Gabor Maté s The Myth of Normal, was definitely my favorite book of the year that I read.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think my favorite podcast interview is a really, really tough one, but I would definitely say that
1
SPEAKER_00
The kendall jenner episode was was really special i saw the love and support that came through with that episode and how powerful it was great conversation uh having dr daniel ehman on the podcast is always a huge treat that was a real real awesome episode as always
1
SPEAKER_00
And Shawn Stevenson on the podcast was an incredible conversation about health and well-being and diet and gut.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think we ve had so many awesome, the Tony Robbins episode this year was a phenomenal episode.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t believe it was this year, it feels so long ago.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I just want you to reflect on what was the best book, what was that best podcast?
1
SPEAKER_00
Share it with a friend, pass it on.
1
SPEAKER_00
Right?
1
SPEAKER_00
There s someone in the world who needs to listen to that, read that, hear that, share it with them, pass it on to them.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it will re-convince you, re-dedicate you to your personal growth journey.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now five, this is an interesting question.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the question is, what are your blind spots for next year?
1
SPEAKER_00
What are your blind spots for next year?
1
SPEAKER_00
What is something that you re unaware of that you could become more aware of?
1
SPEAKER_00
I think my blind spot is going on tour.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve never been on tour before, so I m excited for that experience.
1
SPEAKER_00
My blind spot is we re going into a recession, and you don t know how that s going to impact things.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so I want to be there for all of you, and I hope that you ll take
1
SPEAKER_00
solace, I m being confident that I m going to be providing guidance and steer on this show to help you deal with the challenges that come next year.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so knowing your blind spots actually helps you prepare rather than avoiding them, hoping you don t have to see them, hoping that you don t have to deal with them will actually take care of them, which doesn t.
1
SPEAKER_00
It makes us weaker.
1
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t make us feel as powerful as we think it would.
1
SPEAKER_00
So knowing your blind spots can make a huge, huge difference.
1
SPEAKER_03
When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it s powerful.
1
SPEAKER_04
That s where The Bright Side comes in.

When the Taliban banned music in Afghanistan, millions were plunged into silence.
1
SPEAKER_02
Radios were smashed.
1
SPEAKER_02
Cassettes burned.
1
SPEAKER_02
You could be beaten or jailed or killed for breaking the rules.
1
SPEAKER_02
And yet, Afghans did it anyway.
1
SPEAKER_02
This is the story of how a group of people brought music back to Afghanistan by creating their own version of American Idol.
1
SPEAKER_02
The danger they endured.
1
SPEAKER_00
They said my head should be cut off.
1
SPEAKER_02
The joy they brought to the nation.
1
SPEAKER_01
You re free completely.
1
SPEAKER_01
No one is there to destroy you.

1
SPEAKER_00
Number six, what made me happiest this year?
1
SPEAKER_00
I think what made me happiest this year were the surprises.
1
SPEAKER_00
I got to officiate an incredible wedding.
1
SPEAKER_00
I got to visit the gorillas and trek with them in Rwanda.
1
SPEAKER_00
I got to reconnect deeply with Radhi.
1
SPEAKER_00
I got to finish writing my book.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, there are so many things that make me happy.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have the best team.
1
SPEAKER_00
I absolutely love my team.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have this amazing group.
2
SPEAKER_00
of really talented, capable individuals who are so collaborative and so powerful, and I m so proud of them, and it s really special to just take a moment to say, what made me happiest this year?
2
SPEAKER_00
And I promise you that you have had happy moments, you have had beautiful moments, even if you feel that you haven t, the mind s good at remembering the tough times and the difficult times, and good at forgetting the beauty and the joy, and
2
SPEAKER_00
when we actively seek out those moments and celebrate them and relive them in our mind, they become etched, they become imprinted on our hearts and they become stronger and more powerful as points of inspiration in our life.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think that the happiest moments are the ones that keep you going.
2
SPEAKER_00
I had this incredible experience over the last 24 hours.
2
SPEAKER_00
I was at an event and loads of people came up to me and talked to me about how
2
SPEAKER_00
calm, and my daily meditations or on purpose has changed their life.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it wasn t just a statement.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was people who d lost family members in dealing with grief.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was people who d lost friends who d committed suicide.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was people who d been through some of the most difficult things in the world, family members going through cancer or themselves.
2
SPEAKER_00
I said this to them.
2
SPEAKER_00
I said that you fuel me.
2
SPEAKER_00
You re saying that my work inspires you, but actually, if I m completely honest, your story inspires me to keep going and keep giving.
2
SPEAKER_00
Your story, you listening right now, your story inspires me to keep going and keep giving.
2
SPEAKER_00
Your story needs to be shared.
2
SPEAKER_00
Your voice needs to be heard.
2
SPEAKER_00
Share that message because it will help someone else.
2
SPEAKER_00
The seventh question that I want you to reflect on for 2022 is a person you couldn t have got through this year without.
2
SPEAKER_00
Who s that person?
2
SPEAKER_00
Who s that person that you re so grateful to have had in your life this year that without them, it wouldn t have been the same?
2
SPEAKER_00
And guess what?
2
SPEAKER_00
You know what?
2
SPEAKER_00
Probably that person doesn t even know it because they just love you and they would never even remind you of that.
2
SPEAKER_00
They wouldn t even say that to you.
2
SPEAKER_00
Who is that for you?
2
SPEAKER_00
Who is that for you that you know in your life made such a huge difference?
2
SPEAKER_00
I d have to say it was definitely my monk teacher who came and lived with us a couple of times this year.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was really beautiful for me and Radhi to have that opportunity.
2
SPEAKER_00
Definitely spending time with my good friend, Sean.
2
SPEAKER_00
We had the best reflections and really amazing conversations this year.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was a special year for both of us.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think that another person that couldn t have got through without, of course, Radhi.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you know, Radhi s like my heartbeat, you know, she s,
2
SPEAKER_00
so important to me in so many ways, so tolerant, so understanding, so patient, but so deeply knows me and knows my heart.
2
SPEAKER_00
And we put on a beautiful meditation experience together this year for our friends and that was one of my best memories of this year.
2
SPEAKER_00
Another person that I couldn t have got through without this year was my best man, my best friend of the last 17 years, who s back in London, but we somehow find time to talk every single week, stay connected.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I could go on and on and on, but it s really special to sit there and go, who are those people that love me so deeply that they love me so deeply
2
SPEAKER_00
that they dissolve.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m just so used to being loved by them that I don t even remember or notice it often.
2
SPEAKER_00
I hope these questions really help you.
2
SPEAKER_00
I hope they help you reflect on the year behind.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s easy to be like, well, what was the worst thing?
2
SPEAKER_00
What was the best thing?
2
SPEAKER_00
And that doesn t necessarily give us excitement, hope, energy, momentum.
2
SPEAKER_00
These questions are designed when you ask yourself, what s a challenge you overcame this year, you get strength to overcome future challenges.

I ve been trying to write a promo for our podcast, Part-Time Genius, but even though we ve done over 250 episodes, we don t really talk about murders or cults.
2

2
SPEAKER_03
We also solve mysteries like how Chinese is your Chinese food and how do dollar stores make money?
2
SPEAKER_03
