My favorite type of content to consume online is content that tells me how to live my life.
0
SPEAKER_00
Tells me to wake up at 5 a.m., do Pilates, do my skincare routine a certain way, shower a certain way, eat a certain way, meditate a certain way, journal a certain way, sleep a certain way.
0
SPEAKER_00
I love content that tells me how to live my life.
0
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes it comes in the form of advice.
0
SPEAKER_00
Someone taking their personal experience and sharing that with the world.
0
SPEAKER_00
And sometimes it comes in the form of people leading by example or living by example.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, they re sharing their lives with the world and there are certain things that they do that clearly make their life better.
0
SPEAKER_00
And that s inspiring.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
And this type of content is appealing to me because it shows me new ways that I could live my life.
0
SPEAKER_00
And listen, advice and people who lead by example can give us valuable information on how we can
0
SPEAKER_00
live a better life.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think that this is a really incredible thing.
0
SPEAKER_00
It seems that everywhere we look, we find inspiration to live a better life.
0
SPEAKER_00
How could that be flawed?
0
SPEAKER_00
Well, it is, and we ll talk about it later.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let s talk about why this is a great thing.
0
SPEAKER_00
I mean, it s pretty obvious.
0
SPEAKER_00
In my own personal life, I ve adopted so many habits and hobbies from other people.
0
SPEAKER_00
For example, listening to sleep meditations before bed.
0
SPEAKER_00
For a long time, I was listening to podcasts or YouTube videos or TV shows before going to bed, and I switched over to listening to sleep meditations because
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t like complete silence when I m falling asleep, you know?
0
SPEAKER_00
Unless I m in bed with someone else, like if I m in a relationship, aw, cute!
0
SPEAKER_00
And I m dating somebody, aw, cute!
0
SPEAKER_00
I m sleeping next to them and that is enough, like I don t need something on the TV, I don t need to listen to a sleep meditation for some reason, then it s fine.
0
SPEAKER_00
But when I m alone, which is a lot,
0
SPEAKER_00
99.9% of the time, I don t want to fall asleep to silence and listening to YouTube videos or podcasts.
0
SPEAKER_00
is okay, and there are some podcasts that work for me, educational ones, but the best option is sleep meditations.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I got this advice from multiple sources.
0
SPEAKER_00
My yoga instructor recommended this, but I also think I heard about it in someone s vlog or something.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t remember, but it was somebody online.
0
SPEAKER_00
And listening to sleep meditations before bed is a game changer, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
It s a game changer.
0
SPEAKER_00
When I fall asleep to a meditation, I wake up feeling different, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
This might just be me, but I wake up feeling different.
0
SPEAKER_00
For the remainder of that day, I m less anxious, I feel more clear-headed,
0
SPEAKER_00
I wouldn t say my sleep quality changes, but I do feel refreshed, probably more than I do otherwise.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it s been a game changer for me, it really works.
0
SPEAKER_00
And that s something that I adopted from other people.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve also adopted many anxiety relief methods.
0
SPEAKER_00
My anxiety seems to only be getting worse as an adult.
0
SPEAKER_00
I would say my depression has gotten a bit better, actually a lot better, to be honest.
0
SPEAKER_00
I still do have my episodes, but it was far worse when I was a teenager.
0
SPEAKER_00
My depression has gotten a lot better.
0
SPEAKER_00
My anxiety is getting worse as I m getting older.
0
SPEAKER_00
And there s so much advice out there on how to help with anxiety.
0
SPEAKER_00
And a lot of it didn t work for me, but some of it did.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are certain breathing techniques that have really, really helped me.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, for me, the most simple one, which is breathing in, holding your breath for three seconds or four seconds, and then breathing out, doing that like three to 10 times when I m really anxious can really help.
0
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes even that s not enough, but that s been really helpful.
0
SPEAKER_00
Prioritizing daily movement, like making sure I m moving every day,
0
SPEAKER_00
in one way or another, that s really helped with my anxiety.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s advice that I got through the internet, through someone telling me how to live my life.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s been incredibly beneficial for me.
0
SPEAKER_00
I started waking up early.
0
SPEAKER_00
After years of waking up at noon every day,
0
SPEAKER_00
Because there were a lot of people in my life at the time, leading by example, waking up early, getting shit done early in the day and feeling really good about it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, fuck, I need to start doing that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I need to work on that.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I ve been waking up at 7 a.m.
0
SPEAKER_00
ever since.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think that probably started three and a half years ago.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I m so glad that I did.
0
SPEAKER_00
The morning time is my favorite time of the day, possibly.
0
SPEAKER_00
I remember one time I was watching a vlog and I discovered the concept of meal prepping, you know, cooking things in advance that you can eat for the rest of the week.
0
SPEAKER_00
Simple concept, but I had never done that before.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was always pretty scrappy with it and just kind of throwing shit together or whatever.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I started meal prepping certain meals.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like my breakfast, for example, is almost always meal prepped in the sense that I prepare it at the beginning of the week and I eat it for the rest of the week.
0
SPEAKER_00
That was an idea that I got from somebody s YouTube channel, for sure.
0
SPEAKER_00
I also have implemented specific workout routines into my life because of how other people exercise.
0
SPEAKER_00
I make it a priority to walk a certain amount of steps per day because it just makes me feel good.
0
SPEAKER_00
It makes me sleep better.
0
SPEAKER_00
It makes me feel good.
0
SPEAKER_00
I like lifting weights a few times a week.
0
SPEAKER_00
Sue me.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because I saw other people lifting weights and talking about how it made them feel really good and really strong.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, well, I want to do that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I run a few times a week because I ve seen how that benefits people as well.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m constantly taking inspiration from others  sense of style.
0
SPEAKER_00
The way that people express themselves through fashion is very inspiring to me, and I am constantly absorbing what everyone else is doing online and in person.
0
SPEAKER_00
and taking note of what works for them and exploring whether or not it would work for me, you know?
0
SPEAKER_00
And that s what my style is made up of, seeing other people use fashion in a certain way that really works for them and taking bits and pieces of it and experimenting with it and doing it myself.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve adopted so many great habits, specifically from things that people have told me to do or to try, and people who live a great life and inspire me.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, I m so grateful that I got that information so that I could integrate it into my life.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, but here s the drama, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
Here s where things,
0
SPEAKER_00
get a little spicy.
0
SPEAKER_00
It can also be a bad thing, this overexposure to different opinions and ways to live a good life.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think with the internet, it s even worse.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are so many people living in so many different ways, and all of them are having success in one way or another.
0
SPEAKER_00
There s an overwhelming amount of information out there and sometimes it contradicts itself.
0
SPEAKER_00
For example, one person might say, I went vegan and it healed my chronic pain and it healed my depression and it changed my life.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then someone else might say, I switched over to the carnivore diet.
0
SPEAKER_00
I only eat meat and it healed my chronic pain and it did this and did that.
0
SPEAKER_00
Do you see what I m saying?
0
SPEAKER_00
There s so much information out there and a lot of it contradicts itself.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, I think when it becomes
1
SPEAKER_00
real problem is when we become fixated on implementing something and it s not working, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
We become obsessed with implementing a new habit or hobby into our lifestyle because it really worked for somebody else, but it s just not working for us.
1
SPEAKER_00
But we don t want to give up because we feel like if we give up, we re a failure.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re like, well, if it worked for them, it must work for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it not working for me is a sign that I need to keep trying harder because there must be something wrong with me.
1
SPEAKER_00
We often forget that not everything works for us.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we force ourselves to do things that don t for way too long.
1
SPEAKER_00
It can be hard to pivot when something doesn t work.
1
SPEAKER_00
But if we don t, then we ll end up doing something for too long
1
SPEAKER_00
that just doesn t make sense for us.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like trying to add a puzzle piece into the puzzle of our lives that doesn t fit, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think what s ultimately so damaging about it is that wasting our time trying to implement a habit or hobby or lifestyle choice into our lives that doesn t work prevents us from finding the things that do work.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a ton of examples to share of things that I ve tried to implement into my life that were not good fits, that I tried to make fit for a little bit too long.
1
SPEAKER_00
There was a whole craze around waking up super early, like at 5 a.m.
1
SPEAKER_00
every day to maximize productivity, improve sleep schedule, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1
SPEAKER_00
There was a phase when I was watching a lot of people online who were waking up super early every day and seeing great results from it.
1
SPEAKER_00
And for a while there, I kinda tried it.
1
SPEAKER_00
There were things I really liked about it, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
I liked exercising super early in the morning.
1
SPEAKER_00
I liked watching the sun come up.
1
SPEAKER_00
I liked the stillness of the morning.
1
SPEAKER_00
I liked how productive it made me feel.
1
SPEAKER_00
There were a lot of things that I liked about it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn t like how I was exhausted by 1 p.m.
1
SPEAKER_00
and then exhausted again at 7.30 p.m.
1
SPEAKER_00
when I still had things I had to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn t like how on the weekends I couldn t stay up very late because if I wanted to wake up at 5 a.m.
1
SPEAKER_00
and get a good night s rest, I d have to go to bed really early.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn t like how uncomfortable it was on some days to be up that early.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was so, it could be so painful.
1
SPEAKER_00
Some days it was easy, some days it was not.
1
SPEAKER_00
Ultimately it didn t work for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I went back to waking up at like 7 a.m.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s perfectly fine.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that works great for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
Being up at 7 a.m.
1
SPEAKER_00
works great for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I get everything done I need to do in the day.
1
SPEAKER_00
I go to bed at a reasonable hour.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel productive.
1
SPEAKER_00
I still get the stillness of the morning.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s not as still as when you re up at 5 a.m., but I still get that beautiful part of the morning.
1
SPEAKER_00
There was no reason for me to be waking up two hours early.
1
SPEAKER_00
Just, like, why?
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, why?
1
SPEAKER_00
Literally, why?
1
SPEAKER_00
The only reason why I wanted to do it was because it worked for other people and there were positive benefits for other people.
1
SPEAKER_00
It didn t work out for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I kind of felt like a failure, but
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t anymore and I love waking up at seven.
1
SPEAKER_00
I also had a phase where I really wanted to have a sacred morning routine.
1
SPEAKER_00
I d seen a lot of people really start to prioritize their morning routine.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, make it sacred, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
Wake up a bit earlier to take the time to make a coffee really, really slow.
1
SPEAKER_00
do the full skincare routine, and make the bed, and brush the teeth, and clean the house, and then go and work out, and then come home and shower, and then get to work.
1
SPEAKER_00
Or I guess if they worked out at home, then just go shower, but you get the idea.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I tried that for a little while, and again, I actually really enjoyed it for a little while.
1
SPEAKER_00
There was a phase where I really enjoyed having this picture-perfect morning routine that was sort of romanticized, you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
But eventually it became fatiguing for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And my ideal morning routine, the morning routine that works the best for me is the complete opposite.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I ll tell you exactly what it is.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s waking up, immediately going downstairs, not doing anything else.
1
SPEAKER_00
Not making the bed, not fucking, no.
1
SPEAKER_00
Straight downstairs, make the coffee, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
After I make the coffee, I sit at my desk with my coffee and I check in, I look at emails, I look at texts I missed, I respond to a few things and then I go back upstairs and I get into my workout clothes.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do I brush my teeth?
1
SPEAKER_00
No, I don t.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do I brush my hair?
1
SPEAKER_00
No, I don t.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do I wash my face?
1
SPEAKER_00
No, I don t.
1
SPEAKER_00
I get into my workout clothes and I brush my hair with my fingers and put it into a bun.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then I fill up my water bottle and I go to my workout.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes it s something chill, sometimes it s something more intense, just depends.
1
SPEAKER_00
I split it up.
1
SPEAKER_00
I break it up, but that s that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then I come home and I sit down at my desk again.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, mind you, teeth are not brushed yet still.
1
SPEAKER_00
Some of you guys are going to think I m an absolute.
1
SPEAKER_00
just animal for this, but whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
I sit down at my desk.
1
SPEAKER_00
I do a little bit more work, maybe like a half hour to an hour as I finish my coffee.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then I go and I take a shower and I do the full thing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
I brush my teeth really well.
1
SPEAKER_00
Of course, I do my full skincare routine and then I get dressed for the day and I m fully ready.
1
SPEAKER_00
This is what works for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
Is that picture perfect?
1
SPEAKER_00
No, it s a mess.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s an absolute mess.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s all out of order.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, I m brushing my teeth at like 10 a.m.
1
SPEAKER_00
at that point.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m not showering immediately after my workout.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m working on my computer for a little bit first.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a mess.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a fucking mess.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I love my morning routine.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like that, for some reason, just works for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And trying to do the picture-perfect thing goes against my innate desires.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, I like doing it exactly the way I like doing it.
1
SPEAKER_00
If I have a desire to have a picture-perfect morning routine one morning, I ll do it.
1
SPEAKER_00
But 95% of the time, I don t.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that s the type of morning routine I like to have.
1
SPEAKER_00
Next, there are a lot of people out there that truly believe that journaling and meditating every day, usually at a similar time every day, is the only way to live life.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I understand why, because journaling and meditating are incredible ways to practice mindfulness and center oneself.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I ve had incredible experiences with journaling and meditating.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s been really, really helpful for me during really challenging times.
1
SPEAKER_00
And good times, but more challenging times.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m more inspired to do those things when I need them than when I m doing great, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
There s a very specific way that people portray journaling and meditating.
1
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people do like a 10 minute meditation every morning at a certain time.
1
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people journal every day.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve had phases where that s worked for me and it s been really great, but overall in my life, no, I have my own way of doing it.
1
SPEAKER_00
For example, sometimes I ll meditate the classic good old fashioned way.
1
SPEAKER_00
but I don t do it at any specific time of day.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just do it whenever I need it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Meditating looks different for me all the time.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes meditating for me is deep breathing, sitting in bed, listening to a meditation.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes it s staring at the ceiling and listening to music for like an hour.
1
SPEAKER_00
I do that all the time.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ll just sit in bed and listen to music and think for like an hour.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s not necessarily the traditional form of meditating.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, meditating is about clearing the mind, usually.
1
SPEAKER_00
But sometimes I want to meditate in a different way.
1
SPEAKER_00
I want to meditate in a way that s clearing my mind of all the things that I don t want to think about and then focusing on one specific thing, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes I meditate when I m on a walk.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, if I m like going for a walk, sometimes that s very meditative for me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I m clearing my mind as I do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
it looks different all the time and as long as I get some form of meditation in, traditional or not, I feel good.
2
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t need to look the same every day.
2
SPEAKER_00
At least for me and in my opinion.
2
SPEAKER_00
Some people might disagree but
2
SPEAKER_00
That s that.
2
SPEAKER_00
And with journaling, weirdly, I haven t felt the desire to journal as much the last few months because I ve sort of been doing it in my brain.
2
SPEAKER_00
Do you know what I m saying?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, instead of writing things out, I ve been staring at the ceiling and thinking about things.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, there s so much value in writing things down.
2
SPEAKER_00
Don t get me wrong.
2
SPEAKER_00
I know the value of that and I have felt how impactful that is.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s something about writing things down that allows you to release it, in a way, into the world.
2
SPEAKER_00
You feel like you ve released something and that s incredibly valuable.
2
SPEAKER_00
But sometimes I don t need that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes I do.
2
SPEAKER_00
And when I do, I whip out the journal.
2
SPEAKER_00
But sometimes all I need is to stare at the ceiling and think about something very intently.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that s what fucking works for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sorry, sometimes that s all I need.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that s what I m more drawn to do.
2
SPEAKER_00
the version of meditating and journaling that works for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s this intense thinking that just works for me for some reason.
2
SPEAKER_00
That definitely would not work for everyone, you know, but it really works for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it serves the same purpose in a lot of ways as meditating and journaling.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I definitely have felt really bad about myself during phases where I m not super consistent about journaling every day and meditating every day in a certain way, because everyone else seemed to be doing it and it seemed to be working really well for them.
2
SPEAKER_00
And even for a while, it kind of worked for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
But then I got to a point where I was like, this isn t really working for me anymore.
2
SPEAKER_00
And without even realizing it, I replaced it with something else that actually did work for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
2
SPEAKER_00
Being super strict with myself about how I practice mindfulness and self-awareness and self-reflection just doesn t work for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s also a lot of people who swear by taking cold showers, you know?
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, it does this, it does this.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s all these health benefits and all these benefits.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh my God, you have to take a cold shower or do the cold plunge.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m sorry, no.
2
SPEAKER_00
I try to take cold showers every time.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m like, fuck this.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I m like, no.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, I think the reason why I don t like doing it is because usually I shower after I exercise.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I ve already exerted, there s so much willpower that goes into exercise.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, there s so much discipline that goes into exercise.
2
SPEAKER_00
By the time I get into the shower afterwards, I m like, yeah, I m fucking done for the day.
2
SPEAKER_00
I need to save my willpower for other things.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, I need to save that up.
2
SPEAKER_00
in my body so that I can do hard things later, more hard things later.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m sorry I m not taking a cold shower.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m just not doing it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I need something nice.
2
SPEAKER_00
I need something comfortable.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, I just exercised for like an hour.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m now exhausted and now I have to go, now I m going to go work on things.
2
SPEAKER_00
And like I need something nice and relaxing.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I need my shower that s warm.
2
SPEAKER_00
Again, I felt like, wow, I m such a fucking loser.
2
SPEAKER_00
I can t take a cold shower.
2
SPEAKER_00
I have no willpower.
2
SPEAKER_00
I have no discipline.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m not a total boss babe.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m a loser because I can t take a cold shower.
2
SPEAKER_00
I can t motivate to do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Guess what?
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t need to take a cold shower.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just simply don t.
2
SPEAKER_00
That doesn t make sense for me in my life.
2
SPEAKER_00
I need that warm shower to make me feel good so that I can continue on with the rest of my day.
2
SPEAKER_00
The cold shower is in big rating and it does feel good when, you know, it s successfully done, but it just doesn t fit into my life.
2
SPEAKER_00
It just doesn t.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I really used to feel guilty about it, but I don t anymore.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve also taken a lot of inspiration from others on how to eat.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, as somebody who has an unfortunate relationship with food throughout my teen to adult life, my life thus far pretty much, this can be toxic.
2
SPEAKER_00
This has been toxic for me in the past.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m not going to talk about those instances.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m going to talk about the ones that actually
2
SPEAKER_00
could have been helpful for me, but just simply weren t, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
Meal prepping every meal for the entire week.
2
SPEAKER_00
Earlier, I mentioned that meal prepping does work for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
It does, but not for every meal.
2
SPEAKER_00
I only meal prep one meal for the week, usually breakfast or lunch, and then maybe a snack.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that s about it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And the reason for that is that I crave something different every day.

SPEAKER_00
I found that when I was meal prepping for the whole week, I would end up getting so bored of that situation that I d end up wanting to make something else anyway.
2
SPEAKER_00
So it s like, what was the point?
2
SPEAKER_00
It s nice to have one meal covered, but I also like to have some flexibility.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, oh, I want to have this for dinner.
2
SPEAKER_00
I want to have this for dinner.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so meal prepping super strictly for the whole week just doesn t work for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
It just doesn t.
2
SPEAKER_00
Also, a lot of people swear by intermittent fasting for various reasons.
2
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people say that there s health benefits to it and I ve tried it and sometimes it works for me and it s what makes me feel good.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes it makes me feel terrible and I don t want to do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
So then I don t and I will not do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve seen some benefits when it comes to my stomach pain.
2
SPEAKER_00
I have a lot of stomach pain.
2
SPEAKER_00
I do have IBS.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I don t know, giving my body longer to digest did sort of help my stomach a little bit.
2
SPEAKER_00
And for that reason, I appreciate it.
2
SPEAKER_00
But some days it s just like, I m hungry.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t want to wait.
2
SPEAKER_00
until my eating windows start, like, no, I m not gonna do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I m just not gonna do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I see the value in it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes I do it, sometimes I don t.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s that.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve also had a really hard time throughout my life, honestly, finding a hobby that sticks.
2
SPEAKER_00
And there are so many people out there leading by example.
2
SPEAKER_00
They ve found peace in playing instruments.
2
SPEAKER_00
They ve found fulfillment in playing a certain sport.
2
SPEAKER_00
They ve found passion in doing art.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve really tried to force myself to enjoy certain hobbies when they just aren t for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
For example, long distance running.
2
SPEAKER_00
I saw so many people just obsessed with long distance running, like marathon running and stuff.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I ve always wanted to do it and I ve sort of dipped my toe in for like,
2
SPEAKER_00
few months here, a few months there, but I can t do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I don t want to do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I don t want to do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
The only reason why I want to do it is because it worked for other people.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s it.
2
SPEAKER_00
It made them happy.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
It made them feel fulfilled.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t actually really need to run 30 miles.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just don t need to do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Same thing with playing instruments.
2
SPEAKER_00
I fucking, I love music so much.
2
SPEAKER_00
I wish I could play an instrument.
2
SPEAKER_00
I honestly still might learn one day, but my God, throughout my life, I ve tried to learn how to play instruments and it just makes me miserable.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m miserable when I m doing it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m miserable.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I really wanted to learn drums.
2
SPEAKER_00
For the last few years, I ve been playing around with the drums and like, I can never stick to it because it just doesn t, like the process of learning it is not enjoyable for me.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s just not.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just want to be good already.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you have to enjoy the process of learning something.
2
SPEAKER_00
Obviously, the beginning is tough, you know, and I think I ve yet to get over that hump with playing instruments specifically.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think learning to play an instrument is the hardest hobby to like get into because it s so frustrating in the beginning.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I m not sure I m fully done with that yet.
2
SPEAKER_00
I might still try that because I really do love music so much that I think that
2
SPEAKER_00
there s a chance that I might eventually love that.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just, I have not gotten there yet and I ve been trying for so many years.
2
SPEAKER_00
And maybe I m not meant to play instruments.
2
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m meant to sing, like who knows?
2
SPEAKER_00
Do you know what I mean?
2
SPEAKER_00
Trying these hobbies that I don t enjoy doing just prevents me from finding a hobby that I ll enjoy learning.
2
SPEAKER_00
You have to enjoy the process of learning something.
2
SPEAKER_00
Earlier I mentioned how I take a lot of inspiration from how other people dress and how they use fashion to express themselves.
2
SPEAKER_00
And when I
3
SPEAKER_00
see it working on someone else, I m like, huh, maybe it ll work on me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And sometimes it does work on me and I adopt that and I make it my own and it works for me too.
3
SPEAKER_00
But there have also been times when I ve tried to adopt what someone else is doing with their style and it hasn t worked for me, but it works for them.
3
SPEAKER_00
but it doesn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ll give some examples.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve always felt the most me and the most comfortable in clothing that is a bit more, like I, okay, like I d rather dress cool than dress hot.
3
SPEAKER_00
Does that make sense?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, I ve always leaned more towards dressing cool than dressing hot.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, if I m trying to feel like a badass, I ve always leaned towards cool.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
That s what I feel the most comfortable in.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s not to say that I don t experiment in the hot world.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, like sometimes, sometimes it s rare, but sometimes like there s, oops, there s a cleavage.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oops, there s a really short skirt or something.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oops, like sometimes that s what feels good to me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I m like, love it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m feeling like a hot girl.
3
SPEAKER_00
No, I m not actually.
3
SPEAKER_00
I never do, unfortunately, but maybe one day I will.
3
SPEAKER_00
Working on that.
3
SPEAKER_00
But yeah, sometimes that s what feels right to me and I ll do it.
3
SPEAKER_00
But for the most part, that doesn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I see it work for other people and I m like, I m jealous.
3
SPEAKER_00
like leaning into like the hot vibe.
3
SPEAKER_00
Do you know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
It just doesn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like it s just not, sometimes it does.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like I m not saying it never does, but it doesn t make me feel like me ultimately.
3
SPEAKER_00
I would rather try to dress cool.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s what makes me feel like me most of the time.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I ve had phases throughout my life where I ve tried to, I ve tried to go like more hot girl mode and I ve had a lot of failures there.
3
SPEAKER_00
It works so well for some people that I was like, maybe that will work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And when I say work for me, I mean, make me feel good.
3
SPEAKER_00
Make me feel like me.
3
SPEAKER_00
Right?
3
SPEAKER_00
That s what I want to get out of fashion.
3
SPEAKER_00
And those moments were necessary.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, I was experimenting, but like,
3
SPEAKER_00
just because a certain style works for somebody else doesn t mean it s going to work for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
Just because it makes them feel like the best version of themselves doesn t mean it s going to make you feel that way.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I ve had that experience a lot with fashion, but mainly with that specific dilemma, like a cool vibe versus a hot vibe.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
When you re making a fashion statement, you re going either cool or hot, I feel like.
3
SPEAKER_00
What else is there?
3
SPEAKER_00
Those are the only categories.
3
SPEAKER_00
to me.
3
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, also how I mentioned earlier that I ve discovered a lot of workouts through what other people do.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve also discovered workouts that I hate.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like for example, so many people swear by reformer Pilates.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if you know what I m talking about, the reformer Pilates with the machine.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s that type of Pilates and then there s like hot Pilates that s on the floor.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like you re on a floor and you re just literally in a very hot room and you re just doing
3
SPEAKER_00
Pilates movements on like a mat like it s just like you holding a plank or like doing like a leg lift, you know That I love but like reformer Pilates like that doesn t work for me Like I want again, I want to be that girl, but I m not and it just doesn t work for me I don t like it and I ve wasted money trying to like it and I can t like it there s one class that I found that I do like and
3
SPEAKER_00
that is somewhat of a reformer Pilate class.
3
SPEAKER_00
But no, it s just not, again, it s not for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I wasted time and money doing it to try to make it work for me when it just simply doesn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
It works for other people.
3
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh my God.
3
SPEAKER_00
There was a whole trend going around on the internet.
3
SPEAKER_00
where people were organizing their pantries in this very specific way, like super organized.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then the method was like, we re gonna put everything in clear acrylic containers with labels.
3
SPEAKER_00
So let s say there s cereal, right, in your pantry.
3
SPEAKER_00
Instead of just leaving the box in there, no, no, no.
3
SPEAKER_00
you re going to buy an acrylic box and put a label on it that says Rice Krispies, then you re going to put all your Rice Krispies in this acrylic box.
3
SPEAKER_00
And it looks so organized and so clean and so amazing.
3
SPEAKER_00
I tried to do that in my pantry.
3
SPEAKER_00
I did that in my pantry.
3
SPEAKER_00
I regretted it so much because I didn t think about this before, but I buy new things all the time.
3
SPEAKER_00
I go through new phases with food all the time.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was constantly having to change the labels.
3
SPEAKER_00
I always didn t have the right amount of containers to store all my stuff.
3
SPEAKER_00
It didn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
That works for somebody who literally eats the same thing every day and constantly is restocking the same thing in their pantry all the time.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m not.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m all over the place.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m always buying new things.
3
SPEAKER_00
It did not work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I didn t even think about whether or not it would work for me before I did it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I just saw that it worked for somebody else and that their pantry looked fucking amazing.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, well, now I need to do that.
3
SPEAKER_00
No, I didn t need to do that.
3
SPEAKER_00
And it didn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
I wasted a lot of, again, time and money on my pantry to be a certain way, because it really, really worked for somebody else.
3
SPEAKER_00
And it just ended up making me stressed out.
3
SPEAKER_00
It ended up stressing me out, you know?
3
SPEAKER_00
Because now it s like, okay, well, I regret my choice.
3
SPEAKER_00
but my God, this is a hard thing to undo, you know?
3
SPEAKER_00
Last but not least, minimalism.
3
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people, you know, wait, before you get mad at me, because I ve literally made a three-part series on minimalism, there is so much inspiration to be taken from the minimalist lifestyle, so much inspiration.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, the way that we look at our belongings, the way that we purchase things,
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, there s endless amounts of value in that.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I am so about taking the bits and pieces from the minimalist lifestyle that worked for me and adding them into my life.
3
SPEAKER_00
And wow, I ve gotten a lot of value out of that.
3
SPEAKER_00
But being a full minimalist, no.
3
SPEAKER_00
I wish I could.
3
SPEAKER_00
I genuinely wish I could.
3
SPEAKER_00
And for a very brief period of time, I considered trying it, but it s not for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s just, that s not for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
For example, I love fashion.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve collected so many pieces over the years so that I can play around in my closet.
3
SPEAKER_00
If I were to shift to a full minimalist lifestyle, I d have to get rid of pretty much everything I own and simplify it to a uniform.
3
SPEAKER_00
And part of me wants to do that, but I know that that would not bring me happiness because it makes me so happy to get dressed in the morning and have fun in my closet.
3
SPEAKER_00
Being a minimalist doesn t work for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
I also love decorating my house with lots of little fun little things.
3
SPEAKER_00
And if I was a minimalist,
3
SPEAKER_00
I would need to get rid of a lot of my shit.
3
SPEAKER_00
And a lot of this shit actually does bring me a little bit of joy, you know?
3
SPEAKER_00
I felt really bad about myself for a while there being like, wow, like there s something wrong with me because I can t let go of my material items and be a minimalist.
3
SPEAKER_00
But then I thought about it more and I was like, no, you can take what you need from that philosophy and then you can have the things that you enjoy too.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like you don t need to,
3
SPEAKER_00
be a full minimalist to take what s valuable out of that.
3
SPEAKER_00
All of this is to say that there s nothing wrong with trying these things and realizing that they don t work.
3
SPEAKER_00
So often they re not gonna work.
3
SPEAKER_00
What works for you, works for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
And what works for you might not work for someone else.
3
SPEAKER_00
And what works for somebody else might not work for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
But what works for somebody else might also work for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
You have to try, and it s great to try.
3
SPEAKER_00
You should try everything.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I think a lot of us feel a lot of guilt when it doesn t work out and we think that there s something wrong with us.
3
SPEAKER_00
And we keep pushing, trying to make this puzzle piece fit that won t fit.
3
SPEAKER_00
And we end up wasting time doing something that we don t enjoy doing just because we ve convinced ourselves that it working for somebody else is proof that it ll work for us.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s important to actively check in with yourself and see if the things that you re doing are actually working for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
And not feeling discouraged when it s time to pivot, you know, and try something a little differently.
3
SPEAKER_00
Accept who you are.
3
SPEAKER_00
Accept what works for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, my morning routine, to some, is dysfunctional.
3
SPEAKER_00
To me, it s perfect.
4
SPEAKER_00
My meal prepping strategy is half-assed to some people.
4
SPEAKER_00
To me, it s perfect.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s all about taking what works for you and leaving the rest behind with no apologies and focusing on finding the hobbies and habits and lifestyle choices that make your life feel the most balanced.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s really what it comes down to is balanced.
4
SPEAKER_00
You don t want your life to feel too easy, because it s good to be challenged.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s good to challenge yourself.
4
SPEAKER_00
But you want it to feel balanced.
4
SPEAKER_00
You don t want to make everything hard for yourself.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
4
SPEAKER_00
Find what areas make sense to make hard.
4
SPEAKER_00
Find what areas you need a bit more relaxation.
4
SPEAKER_00
Only you know what s good for you.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s all I got.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s all I got.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s really late for me right now when I m recording.
4
SPEAKER_00
