Fasting Space

nice to have you here.

Fasting space to share a little space together.

Today.

Center ourselves here in this moment where we recognize
we are not perfect

and perfection is not required.

Thank goodness. Right.

I was reflecting a little bit on, this space,

what it's been like over the, times.

Of how long has it been?

I don't know, I'm losing track of it.

We we went, weekdays in the fall,

and, I committed personally.

I said, I'm gonna commit to doing weekdays,
you know, throughout the fall to New Years.

You know, this is the idea of a habit, though.

We give ourselves a frame, we set a perspective,

and then we get in a groove,
and then hopefully we can roll on with it.

So I've kept I've just kept it rolling since New Year's and,
just liking it.

But perfection not required.

For those of you who've been with, with me,
we've had our share of fun.

Like when my camera like, just melted down

and shut off in the middle and happened a couple times
when the internet, like, went out

and I started glitching when I went live without knowing it
because I hit the wrong button

and I was I do a little warm up because, like in the morning,

my voice like, you know, takes a while to warm up.

So I was like singing for people without knowing it.

Did you catch that one?

Perfection is not required.

Okay. And, you know, it's fun.

This is the thing I like about fasting space.

Just real space.

It's like, you know, in this crazy moment, you know,

I it's hard to know what is real is like, here's
a space is real

people coming together, sharing the reality of our situation,

all of us doing our best to bring our real human

experience and ideas together
so that we can walk forward and health.

Take a moment out of the craziness.

That's what I want.

A moment out of the craziness
that is our lives in this moment to say, you know what?

Not only is perfection not required, but

like right here, in this moment, right now.

Like, everything is okay,
you know, like, actually nothing else is required.

Like we lack nothing
so we can find a mental space of peace and contentment.

Even in this moment, right now, in this moment,
even if you are here.

Right.

We got people here who are in the middle of a fasting process,

like really dialing in on a human experience
that is a challenge.

That is, At the same time, nothing.

It's the practice of openness, a space
that we are trying to develop into something

that is itself a wellness practice
that further supports our peace and contentment, that it

ultimately is not a struggle that fasting is a practice

that can reduce any type of struggle.

Take complexity out, move towards simplicity.

This is the goal of a fasting space.

Not always.

Do you start in a place like that.

That is part of the mountain,
and we are moving toward a space, the mountains.

You are looking through that.

I'm going to give you some thoughts on that today.

The mountain is us.

We're on a path we're trying to move directly toward.

Honestly, spaces of difficulty. Right?

This is a challenge in our life.

We have some sort of obstacle
that might be a health space that we are looking at.

I big thing I try to do, help
people lose as much weight as they want or need.

Okay.

That is like a huge space

that fasting can help with many other things
that fasting can help with.

And of course, we want every good measure of health
to be coming our way.

We were talking yesterday about the correlation of,
dialing in a fasting space and helping blood pressure.

Of course, there's something that, so many struggle with.

Want to help everybody to do that.

My experience simple fasting,
which is basically fasting within a day,

maybe leading up to a whole day of fasting
and then putting that on some interval, maybe alternate

daily fasting, we said, might be the type of simple fasting
when you get to a space like that.

Okay, we're opening up a large amount of fasting space,

but we're still getting nutrition nutrients
on like an interval.

You know, when we dialed in on our study yesterday,
opening our mind

to the practice of people doing extended fasting,
look where they were doing it in a hospital.

They're having all their electrolytes monitor
all the vitals and blood pressure monitored.

Now, there's lots a fair number of studies
that we could go into like that.

And the interesting thing is people doing these extended
fasting,

very, very rare that people have any, problem from it.

You know, fasting is a healing space when you approach it

thoughtfully, when you are taking care of yourself
and you never push it

into any space where you're feeling unwell,
the body tells you you're feeling unwell.

All right.

There's some red flags going up.

If you're seeing red flags like.

We stay away from any kind of red flag.
We're talking yesterday.

We're looking at the series.

Okay?

People doing this incredible
fasting study in the hospital, 1963.

And then, Pat brought up this doctor gee,
who I have been researching.

There's different pockets around the world
where people are are doing things like that now.

Not really in us standard, you know, medical system.

You know, there are people who are trying to bring it in.

I try my best to bring it into the, medical system.

But, yeah, this is interesting.

I don't know if you saw his, video actor.

Is it Gold hammer? Right.

I ordered his book. I review it with you.

The inpatient.

He's got a whole wonderful facility
in beautiful place in California where you can check in and

and do supervised, fasting,
medically supervised, with labs and vitals, all of this.

See why he does
it sounds like you're having a bit of an experience.

Like the participants
the patients did in the study, that you experience the hunger.

But when you push through it, then the hunger resolves.

This is the space that is very interesting to flow

through in our thinking about

how do we actually find the easiest path

we're discussing yesterday, the counterintuitive process.

It's sometimes leaning through the difficulty.

So we talk a lot about never forcing anything.

We don't want to push anything.

There's no expectation.

Nobody signed a contract right?

Everything we want voluntary and open.

But then we we find the edge
also in the thinking where we realize

this is a this is in my view,
how fasting becomes the most empowering health practice.

When you realize I am not so dependent

on food as I've been, taught and conditioned to be.

Actually, I'm strong and powerful.

The energy that is inside of me
that is body fat, that I've seen an obstacle.

It's part of me.

It's actually power.

And we can use it in that process of using it.

Leaning into it is actually the process of releasing it.

It's not always easy to do,
but we can do a difficult thing as we do.

That difficult thing we push through
is that the process, like you saying

that, breaks through a plateau,
that smashes through barriers, that say, I'm conquering it,

I'm gonna read to you later a passage, a quote powerful

like that, try to inspire us for our our day, our life.

Big, big quote.

And then in the midst of that, today we're going to also
do some reading and thinking about perfectionism.

Do you ever struggle with perfectionism?

You're in a space like this.

You're trying to do something difficult,
and it's like very hard to move forward because it's like,

you know, any time we're trying to do something new, anytime
we're trying to stretch ourselves, we're not very good at it.

Right? We have to learn.

And and oftentimes, as in the case, we have to try and fail

and we learn from our failures and mistakes.

This is this is the process of growing.

And,
and that can be a painful experience, can be discouraging

to try something and fail to in many times
feel like you're starting over, like you know,

where it's like you ever feel that
or it's like back to square one and it's like,

I don't even know if I have enough

energy to just to start over. Right.

And so many times
is because we have the mindset of perfection.

You don't start at the top of the mountain.

This is what I want to tell you.

We don't start at the top of the mountain
in any kind of health practice.

And what we've been talking through over the months,
on the channel

here, is just trying to map out the reality

of the situation that we have in the health landscape
and realize the situations

that we are facing in our life are very abnormal,

and they are very, difficult.

It is difficult to change in any domain of life

and then to change how we're eating, which is so fundamental

to our emotional physiologic state in the body
we are entering,

like in a very emotional and difficult space.

This is how we have so much grace with ourselves.

Recognizing, okay, perfection not required.

Rebuilding a mindset that recognizes what

we really want over perfection is progress.

That we have the mindset of moving toward the goal
that we're having.

Because perfectionism,
have you ever experienced, can be just paralyzing.

We end up not doing anything because they can't be perfect,
so we don't even move forward.

What we want is just small steps.

The other book we're reading through, Atomic Habits,
like just taking the step.

Trying to get 1% better every day.

Perfection not required.

Listen to this little section is a little section here

from our journey
that we're taking up the mountain that we're trying to do.

When we expect that our work, but at the same by work,
meaning like any task we're trying to accomplish.

When we expect that the work must be perfect, the first time,

we end up getting into a cycle of perfectionism.

Perfectionism,
they say here, isn't actually wanting everything to be right.

It is not a good thing.

It is often a hindering thing
because it sets up unrealistic expectations

about what we are capable of and what the outcomes could be.

Perfectionism can hold us back from showing up and trying.

This is what I'm seeing where it can get paralyzing, right?

Have you experienced that?

And of actually doing the important work of our lives.

This happens
because when we're afraid of failing or feeling vulnerable.

It this is what happens when we open up our ourselves,
when we try to change.

Like it opens up the possibility that we don't.

That we can't, that we fail right?

Of not being as good as we want or as

as we want others to think that we are right.

There's a big thing we fear judgment from other people.

We fear judgment from ourselves.

We end up avoiding the work
that is required to actually become,

as you say, that good, like as good
as we could be to actually be walking our path.

Path of being an actual human
being in the world, right, is not a straight line, right?

We are all walking in a space that it's like

we're walking in a direction
and we hit an obstacle and we're trying to navigate.

And life is messy and difficult, and many things

happen in our life that we wish hadn't. Right.

And so we have to navigate all these things.

This is the reality of what it looks like.

Perfection is like an idea.

Not really exist.

Even in this reality, we end up sabotaging ourselves.

They say here, because it is the willingness to show up

and simply do it again and again, right?

Without perfection.

Right?

That actually ultimately brings us to a place of mastery.

Absolutely.

I'm going to show you this, quote here.

I should I should float us.

I was going to float us out over this space
while I was reading.

I, I filmed this, at the end of December.

This is a little lake not so far from my house.

I think I filmed, I think there's, like, half an hour.

I stood here for half an hour behind the camera,
just watched the sunlight filter through these trees.

Beautiful, calm, peaceful place.

I have a bunch of things I've.

Sometimes I've done this,
you know, where I bring some footage

and I try to film,
you know, water where we can have an actual reflection space.

You know, what we're trying to do in this space?

Reflect deeply on, the most important thoughts.

You know, how do we build the strongest mindset?

Finding a natural space somewhere like that.

You know, being able to see the deer out your window.

What a what a beautiful thing.

I'm glad you can experience that.

Space like this to me opens you.

We can't see the reflection.

It's frozen.

It's covered in snow.

But you see, that's the reality. See? Perfection not required.

We can have a reflection space.

We're standing out on the lake,
and reflecting even in the middle of the winter,

even when we cannot see the reflection so much.

Still, there.

Right. Here's how they go on here.

They say, don't worry about doing things well. Just do it.

And I would say, just do it to the best of your ability
with grace and compassion for yourself.

Try would be another way as well as what we're doing right.

Everybody is trying things.

We try our best is all we can do, right?

All we could ever do,
we couldn't do anything else than just try our best.

That's most of the isn't that most of the battle?

So at least half of it right.

To build up the internal courage to try to take,
I say I'm going to take a step forward in health today.

To the best of my ability.

I am going, you know, we're in a say.

We're in a plateau space, right?

We've come up against our ceiling
or say, I have stretched myself to this point

and realize what an incredible mindset
it takes to even try something like that.

I feel so good about that.

And realize have an opportunity to explore the space.

This is what I would say in a space transform.

Okay, a plateau experience.

We aren't looking at.

This is some bottom thing that we're going to bounce off of.

Say we are climbing up a mountain,
we have a reached into a space,

we stretched ourself with a place,

that it's new, you know, that's
this is the way that that's the reality.

This is a new space
we're exploring is what we're learning from it.

We say, I tried something, I couldn't do it. Now we learned.

What is it like to be in that space?

We're learning. Here's what they say.

Don't worry about writing a bestseller.

Just write.

Don't worry about making a Grammy winning song.

Just make music.

Don't worry about failing.

Just keep showing up and trying.

At first,
all that matters is that you do what you really want to do,

and from there you can learn from your mistakes and over time,

get to the place where you really want to be.

Yeah, this is such beautiful thinking.

I say, this is it.

This is the space where we're in right now.

We're floating in this type of space.

Easy to say.

I appreciate this comment so much.

Easy to say, don't worry about these things.

But then how do you actually not worry?

Thank you for sharing that.

There's, everybody share your reflections on it.

I will give you mine.

I think it's a mindset and this is what we're trying to build.

I think this is really the part of the mountain
that we're really trying to build, is to be able to do that.

Hey, if, if, if it's a spiritual tradition
that brings you to someplace like that,

if it's, perspective of any kind,

you know, this is, these are the beautiful practices

that people all over the world
from every tradition have found value in.

So whatever it is to you that helps you

to find a place of trust, like you're saying to,

to believe
that the future is going to be better than the present,

do you believe in yourself
or in something greater than yourself

that gives you the ability to trust,
that says things are going to work out?

I learned a new word the other day.
I haven't really learned it.

It's the opposite of paranoia.

I should probably look it up.

It's something like just piano or something like this.

We'll look it up sometime.

I wrote it on my list to do a whole, you know, session on.

Like if being paranoid is the idea.

Like, everybody is out to get us.

The opposite of that is the belief

that everything is supporting us
and that actually the future is going to work out okay, that

whether you whatever you believe other people like,
do believe other people are here to help

you know, friends and family that that the universe that

whatever you believe about the reality, see, that's,
that's looking toward the light here.

We're looking toward the light in the sunset, trusting.

Don't worry.

Not worrying takes a lot of practice.

I appreciate that so much.

Practicing trust. Okay, there it is.

This is another thing
that is exactly on the path that we say right here.

You're not an expert at it. There's no perfection.

We don't have perfect trust.

We don't have perfect belief
that that everything going to work out for us.

Right.

That's what worry is.

Worry is that we don't have that trust.

We say, what if this happens? And what if that?

What if I try and fail?

What if I do these things and it doesn't work?

So the practice of what we're trying to do,
I say is, is part of that

to practice not worrying.

So I think not worrying to frame it positively would be

a finding a mental space of peace and contentment.

If you are at peace in your spirit and your very being,

if if you are feeling content,
isn't that the absence of worry?

This is what we're trying to do.

And so fasting in the physical body is giving us

a mirror of that space in the mental

being to fast through a space and find contentment
without food.

We say that while that is a difficult space,
the body has to adjust to that

to flow through a mental space
without worry, like most people aren't.

We're always worrying about something.

I know this is something I struggle with.

We worry about every domain of our life.

What about some financial thing? What about my kids?

What about the relationship?

What about the politics? What about everything?

As we practice fasting, as we're developing that ability,

building patience, finding peace in this domain

over time, despite the struggle,

finding it to become a place, it is easier, right?

This is the goal so that we can lose weight
and optimize our metabolism right at the same time.

Using that space
to find a space of peace and contentment in our mind.

And then these two flow together as we are more relaxed.

Think how this is affecting affecting the body.

Not that we can stop stress from happening,
but that we cope with it in a way

that helps to keep our hormones
balanced, keep stress hormones not going up.

We can experience stress in our life and flow through it.

Without it negatively impacting the body,
at least to such a great degree.

When we amplify the anxiety, when you lean into it

and we start shallow breathing and we cycle,

that's what really amps up the physical state of the body.

Stress hormones pouring out body.

Realize we're not safe.

This is what it's communicating
when we're having anxiety and panic.

Body says is not safe, sends out the stress hormones, amps up

the blood sugar, can drive
insulin resistance, feeds into weight gain.

You see, it's a whole cycle. Want to reverse that whole cycle?

We don't want to be working against very hard
to work against hormones in the body.

Hormones very powerful.

We want to give ourselves every advantage.

Only two little, two little paragraphs left of this book.

I mean, this little section I'm giving us here.

A schedule,
one hour a day to discuss all my concerns in prayer.

And then I trust and watch. Hey. That's beautiful. Thank you.

You know, the, you know,

we could have an interesting
whatever you would call it, philosophical, spiritual,

discussion,
you know, an an interface between a prayer and a meditation.

One person calls something a prayer.

One person calls it a meditation.

As either of these things to me, very similar space

opening up a space, of openness, of connection,

which is something I resonate much,
especially looking at the sunset, looking up into the sky,

connecting with something greater than ourselves, whatever

that is in your tradition is an incredible opportunity.

And I just speak to anybody.

I welcome anybody of any, belief of any kind to be here.

We are sitting here in a health space,
somewhat of a scientific space.

You know, I, I review medical studies with you, but opening,

up our mind that even if you are a strict materialist,

you believe that, there's only atoms and molecules,
and there is nothing.

Bigger or greater, I say, hey, that's okay. No. No judgment.

That's totally fine. I have many friends like that.

I love having conversations with people of any persuasion,

but I just, what I tell you in a space like that is.

What if you just pretended that it was true?

You know?

And what if it helped you?

What if you opened up your mind and did it?

Did this the idea of it that there might be something bigger?

Could it help you actually move forward in health?

If you're struggling in a space to say, I am feeling anxious,

this is negatively impacting my health.

I'm having trouble getting through a food craving.

I'm I'm having trouble not eating something that is,

I know I don't really want,
you know, we're in this very conflicted space.

It's like, what if you just lived as if it were true?

That's what I would say.

And that helped you find a mental, emotional space
that actually helped you move through it.

Many people experience that.

And so to me, that's taking us outside of,
you know, the normal.

Medical system in the medical system is like that.

It's totally cold and analytical.

It doesn't open up space for anything beyond,

the material, which, you know,

so the interesting state of reality, right,
is not that you can't run an experiment on it.

You know, this is like the thing of science, you know?

So say we've become, scientists,
you know, everybody in that we believe.

Well, science is like all that exists
and we can't measure, you know, certain

things, therefore they don't exist as like, well,
what's your experience?

It's like many people,
you know, experience benefit from this type of thinking.

We just want things that benefit everybody in any way.

That's what I want.

Hey, buy a new journal and new pens.
This is what I tell people.

Didn't we do a session the other day?

I said, we want to equip ourselves with every good thing
to accomplish the health goal that we want.

And one of the most powerful ways to do
it is journaling, right?

A journal is like becoming your own therapist and says, like,
just to write it out,

to have high quality paper to write it
on, to have a beautiful pen where the ink just flows out.

It's like removing every barrier.

That's the analogy that we want for everything in our life.

We are trying to remove every single barrier

that is getting in the way of our health.

And is perfectionism one of those barriers?

That's what I'm trying to smash today for you.

Perfection not required.

When worry creeps into my mind during the day, I say nope,

that's for the prayer hour and I make myself move on.

Do something positive out of this thinking

so many good, Thoughts here.

Yeah. Make yourself move on.

That is, so good.

You know, when we think back into the series we did
in the fall through that book, thinking fast and slow, right?

As we're really trying to get into the mindset,
the way the mind is working,

how there are these priming effects that are conditioning

on our conditioning ourselves to think in certain ways,

and that we have only so many limited slots

that we can, use, at any one time.

We, we can load in the information

that our subconscious is using to drive us forward.

And so I just telling ourselves not allowing it
so you see negative thoughts coming into the,

our our our our loading zone there we say nope.

We are loading in some better thoughts and moving forward.

Love it, love it.

Here they go on in this section.

The truth is that we actually do not accomplish great feats

and for our purposes here
I say a great feat just accomplishing our health goal.

That would be our great feat, right?

We want a certain amount of weight loss.

We want our blood pressure in a better space.

We want our blood sugar problem to diminish.

Right? This is a great feat of health.

We do not accomplish great feats
when we are anxious about whether or not

we whether or not what we do will indeed
be something impressive.

Okay, when we're worried about our performance,
about measuring up to something,

say we rarely accomplish something great,
we accomplish these sorts of things when we simply show up

and allow ourselves
to create something meaningful and important to us.

I love that sentence, right? I love the word create.

This is what I've been.

Sharing about our process
to envision our health process as a creative process.

I've been reading through that Rick Rubin book, Creative Act.

To see ourselves as an artist, that we are shaping

and creating this beautiful expression of life.

Think. Think about art, right?

You think about a statue.

Statue can be molded and shaped and created.

That's an artistic expression.

How much more than think of other types of art music.

How about theater?

Theater that statues coming to life like we are animating it,

having an artistic expression
through a theatrical performance.

Now we come out of the theater into real life.

It's like our whole life
and artistic expression of health, of that.

Do we create something meaningful

and important to us to say,
this is what we're really trying to dial in on

when we ask the deep questions like, what do I really want?

Who am I? You know?

What are the experiences that have true
meaning and importance to me

and to make a health path as difficult

as it is to walk forward through that,
this is what has meaning.

Just simply like they say, show up in this space.

Here we are together. We're showing up in this space.

So how do we stop worrying?

We're opening up the space to practice.

And I love this insight to to say no to it,
to recognizing yes, being building awareness of it.

We build awareness and.

In that space of awareness,

we find grace and thoughtfulness
for ourselves and practice it.

And as we do that,
we find that we are getting more skilled at it.

This is how they conclude this section.

Instead of perfection, focus on progress.

Instead of having something done perfectly, focus on
just getting it done.

Like, look at that.

Pat was saying in the space, made it through

this fasting space, used every fasting aid.

You say, was it the most pure fasting
that's ever been done in human history?

We say, no, it's not the most piercing.

But look, you got it done.

You made it through that space.

You had a benefit from it and you practiced it. Right?

See? Is perfection not required?

From there you can edit, build, grow

and develop it into what your vision is.

But if you don't get started, you will never arrive.

And if you don't and I say to get into that space,
if you don't practice it,

you don't wrap it, you don't get in a groove.

It's hard to do all these other things to edit,
build, grow, develop.

Life is messy. Life can be difficult.

Life can be overwhelming, right?

So perfection not required.

This is how we have, grace with ourselves.

Through all of these things.

Let me share this quote with you.

Here we go.

Have you, seen this before?

Theodore Roosevelt.

Now you know how things are.

People have a quote.

It's written in the past in a paternalistic age.

Every it's all written.

I don't ta man, I so I have the actual, quote here.

I'm going to, edit it in my gender inclusive language.

I try, okay,
think about this quote on reflection on perfection,

and about what it means to abandon perfection
and show up with a powerful mindset

that is moving in a direction to the best of our ability,
no matter how it actually turns out.

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out

how the strong person stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena,

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
and who strives valiantly,

who errors and comes up short again and again,

because there is no effort without error or shortcoming.

But one who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,

who spends themselves in a worthy cause,

who at the best knows, in the end
the triumph of high achievement,

and who at the worst, if they fail, at least they fail.

While daring greatly, so that their place shall never be

with those cold
and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Just powerful to read through it.

To me, that's the type of mindset
that I want everyone to develop, to be in the arena

and to see yourself in the arena, to say, hey,
nothing is perfect here.

I am fighting for what I believe this is, I don't know,
this is kind of like a gladiator

sort of, vibe to it.

It's like, hey, I am in here, I am fighting,
I am doing my best.

I am showing up.

I am moving toward, what is valuable and important to me.

Say there are no guarantees, right?

In life.

How do things turn out?

But we move toward things.

In the face of critics like this is all the judgments

of perfectionism that are saying, you try to do anything,
the critic is there.

Maybe we're our own internal critic.

It's not the critic that counts and not people
who are not on our path.

Right.

But what is pointing out,
oh, look, this person tried something.

It didn't work out. All these sorts of things.

Just forget about all that.

What matters. Like we're here on our path.

We're not walking anybody else's path, but our own path.

And so we let go of all that,
all the judgment from other people on ourselves,

all the expectations that things have to be perfect.

Look, we don't even know that it is here.

It's like, does it work out or not?

We don't know.

Like, that's the journey, but we do our best.

Yeah. Yes.

If there were guarantees, the wins would be meaningless.

This is the thing.

And so we want to celebrate them.

Celebrate.

And if we get a little when you move even a molecule closer

toward the goal, we say like, look at this, path.

Like moving in the direction we are overcoming.

Perfectionism is just one obstacle,

next obstacle down on our way, toward our goal.

And then over that section we did the other day.

The goal is just one point on a curve.

We're on a curve looking like this, right?

1% better every day.

Takes us 37 times better by the end of the year.

Right.

This is geometric increasing.

We're going to hit that goal at some point.

We saw yesterday beautiful writing from that 1963.

The doctor saying it's like we gotta like widen
our perspective a bit, take a two year time frame.

That's what they were suggesting, which I agree.

Somebody say how one year into a process,
it's like we took the first step

as like
now we're taking another year or two like we're stepping.

Yeah. Celebrate the daily wins. Enough. Yeah.

I just let's find a way to do it for ourselves.

Celebrate the daily wins.

The daily win is the only thing
that could happen in that moment.

You know, we could not do anything else.

We cannot win the whole two year curve.

We can't do that in a day.

The only thing we can actually do is win a day.

And so if we do that, it's like we just accomplished 100% of
what could possibly be done in this day.

It shouldn't have a party.
We should have a party for ourselves.

I loved that thought yesterday. Fasting party. Right?

Like what if, what if we had the whole celebration around it?

Wouldn't that be a fun health care system if, like,
if truly the most, important things that we can do in health

are actually these fundamental, basic things opening up

fasting space, choosing the healthiest food,

moving our bodies in healthy ways,
getting our mindset dialed in in the most strongest

and most powerful, optimistic, positive, enthusiastic way
that that just powers us forward.

Like, like what would be the process
that would facilitate the most joy and positivity in that?

Like, imagine a health care system as like a pep talk
and like a cheerleading squad

and like just like a party, you know, like,
would it really help?

I don't know.

I am, I'm not like, my own personality.

I'm not, like, much of a cheerleader,
you know, like, but, like, maybe I should be.

I mean, I kind of want this space to be like that, you know,

fun, encouraging.

I want people to come here and feel encouraged,

you know, and, yeah, let's, you know, share the struggles.

I lean into that a lot. Right?

Because the struggle is real. Share.

We want to share the positive.

All these things come together right?

Celebrate the little wins as much as we can

and build up the positive enthusiasm of it.

Love that.

Sometimes I've thrown on.

I got a couple tracks on here. You know, of the positive.

One of these I have, I have I'm labeled on my little thing,

the energy set, you know, energy set of music that I've done.

Sometimes a little party session.

We can do some more of that.

New Year's especially. I did that.

Fireworks. You know.

We need some fireworks in to start every day. Okay.

I find that's finding gratitude, right?

What is the wind that you can have today?

Have you already seen it and found it?

Find your one win today.

Lean into it.

And, let's celebrate it tomorrow.

Whatever it is. Okay?

So have a beautiful day.

Take your most powerful step forward in health.

Keep the mindset positive.

Tell any negative thinking that comes in there.

Say, nope, not today.

Took care of that.

And, yeah, you've already won.

We're up or taking action.

We're moving forward, finding as much, joy,

peace, contentment in this moment as we can.

Really beautiful. Appreciate the discussions and thoughts.

I look forward to chatting with you again tomorrow.

Have a great day everybody.
