00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:14.640
Good evening and welcome to the Comforting Voice podcast.
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.839
I'm your host, Shasta Ray, and it's just you and me in the studio tonight.
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:20.719
Just us.
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:23.679
The birds are all upstairs watching TV.
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:29.760
I had the neediest little Minnie Macaw completely glued to me obsessively.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:37.520
So I thought it was time for her to go have a snack, hang out for a little bit, chill, and I'll go continue her obsession later.
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.920
So anyway, how are you?
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:41.359
How is your weekend?
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.679
Oh my gosh, things have been so busy, sometimes it's like, oh, it's Tuesday, it's time to record again.
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.759
Time is passing so fast and you keep busy and it passes faster.
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.560
Anyway, really, really fast here.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:06.799
Why don't you get situated, get comfortable, get your pillow all mushed up in that position that's perfect for you, whether you're sleeping on your back or your side.
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.040
Some people are tummy sleepers.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.920
Make sure you've got everything you need at your fingertips, as always.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:23.439
You know, bottle of water, extra blanket, listening device set at the perfect volume to fall asleep to, all of that good stuff.
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.359
Then when you're ready, make sure you stretch really, really good.
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.239
Get some productive stress relief into that stretch.
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:39.200
All the way to the fingers and toes, wiggle your fingers and toes, and then release that stretch.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.920
Do you know what most people don't know about that?
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.920
Just something that simple.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:49.680
Stretch all the way to your fingers, all the way to your toes, wiggle your fingers and toes.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.120
You can do that when you're having a moment of high stress, of anxiety, and it'll help turn that around in the moment.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.560
It may not be a perfect cure, it'll help kind of de-escalate that energy.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.680
It redirects everything that's going on in the moment.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.959
And it feels good.
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.759
It's relaxing, it helps relieve tension.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.360
So follow that up.
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.879
As always, you double whammy this, you do your stretch, you're feeling better.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.800
Follow it up with a couple really good productive deep breaths.
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.639
And you want to do it slowly.
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:29.919
Inhale to about the count of four, hold it to about the count of four, and exhale to about the count of six.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.159
And you can tailor that to your needs.
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:44.159
But that's a really good formula for letting out stress, letting out anxiety, and redirecting some of that energy in the moment, or helping you relax to fall asleep faster.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:44.960
Wow.
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.800
Instant and free.
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.719
Best things in life are free.
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:58.879
Before we get any further into this episode, before you doze off, I want to remind everyone to go take a look see at the new website.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.120
I've got the Thrive Shop there.
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.680
You can pick yourself up some Thrive Gear.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:11.919
I've got the Coloring Book Empire link, and I've got the Buy Me a Coffee where you can go get a digital gratitude journal.
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.039
Awesome stuff.
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:14.879
All of it supports the show.
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.400
Thanks in advance.
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.039
And a shout out to those who purchased coloring books the past couple of days.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.960
Unsure if they got there through the website or found it through Amazon.
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.479
Either way, take a look.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.159
And that website, very easy, comfortingvoice.com.
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.879
That's it, just comfortingvoice.com.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.080
I'm going to continue to add links and content there.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:47.520
It is still in its early stages of development, but I did get some of the major podcast links finally all hooked up to the follow.
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.240
So if you haven't hooked up to a favorite podcast app yet, you can use that.
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:53.680
Pick one out of the list.
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.360
They're all very popular, doesn't cost you a dime.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:06.400
And once you're listening in through the app, make sure you hit the subscribe or the follow button or whatever that app has so you get notifications every week.
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.159
Don't forget, very important.
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:09.919
Love hanging out with you.
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:10.560
Okay.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:31.199
The really nice thing about not having a tiny little T-Rex, a tiny little pickle chicken, a little tiny green terrorist on my desk is that I can dig in the cigar box and get your tea tag and your fortune cookie slip without worry of injury or damage.
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.279
Okay, so that said, let's just dive right in.
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.920
Okay, so your tea tag.
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.079
Mental happiness is total relaxation.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.000
And your fortune cookie slip.
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:59.600
One must dare to be himself, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:02.560
Now there's some interesting food for thought.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:03.680
I like that.
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.079
Good words to think upon.
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:15.920
Okay, the lucky numbers off of the back of the fortune cookie slip for all of you that play number games, the lottery, that sort of thing.
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:25.199
Fifty-one, forty, sixteen, six, nine, and thirty-seven.
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.839
Good luck if you play number games.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.800
I hope you win big.
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:42.720
All right, so if you've got a minute, I got a minute, I have yet to hear what Lon sent in for this week's episode.
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:43.920
Let's take a listen.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.639
Lon, what do you got for us this week?
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.920
There are many things good and many things lacking about our current world.
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:06.959
Chaos, of course, is everywhere, and that kind of goes without saying, really, because even in the mildest of times, chaos is that tornado that appears out of nowhere.
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:14.240
So in all things, we have an opportunity to exercise kindness.
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:22.319
Seneca even said, wherever there is a human being, there's an opportunity for kindness.
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:29.519
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest of intentions.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.600
That's Oscar Wilde.
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.160
So this is not a subject that should be treated lightly.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:47.120
We should be kind whenever we can, whenever it is possible, and according to the Dalai Lama, it is always possible.
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.279
Kindness is always much better than pontification.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:03.360
Pontification, for example, is that standing up on a stool and telling those under us how to do things.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.040
That's not all that helpful, is it?
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:22.720
Kindness, actually feeling what they are going through and taking a moment to offer our perspective, our caring, our empathy, is always going to be far more powerful.
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.680
Whatever we do, we should do it with kindness.
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.199
Whatever we say, say it with kindness.
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:37.360
Wherever we go, we should radiate light and kindness.
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.360
Thrive.
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.160
Oh, that is so true.
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.040
Absolutely true.
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:53.759
That's one of the easiest rules in life to follow, but sometimes we just don't stop to think.
00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.279
So one thing you can always stop to think before you interact with anyone, how would I like to be treated in this situation?
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:06.959
And I think the answer is at the very very core, non reactively.
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:17.439
Like you don't have to be a little Miss Susie ray of sunshine every minute of the day, but at least be pleasant, at least be kind.
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:18.720
Don't be mean.
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:26.079
If you're having a horrible day, you would be surprised at how quickly your mood will turn around if you're nice to somebody.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.439
If you're just kind.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.160
It spreads back at you.
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.960
It's literally one of those things that you can infect yourself with it.
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.279
So just start practicing it.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.080
You'll be happier, and it unloads stress.
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.480
It's just another awesome way to unload stress.
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:54.000
Next, our listener base has been growing, so let's take a look at you guys really quick, see where you're at and what you're doing.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.200
Oh my gosh.
00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:05.519
This is a segment I came up with called Join the Fun, just to see where everyone in the listener base is from and give everyone a country by country salute.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.519
And we're doing three every week.
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.039
So we get to learn about each other, some little known facts about the countries where we all reside.
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.039
So let's lift each other up and focus on all the good stuff, right?
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:23.039
So the first country this week on our listener base salute for Join the Fun is Poland.
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:30.399
Poland is home to one of the oldest libraries in the world, with a long tradition of preserving knowledge and learning.
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:37.519
Poland has a rich musical heritage, including famous composers whose works are celebrated internationally.
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:46.000
Poland is known for its beautiful landscapes from mountains to lakes, offering peaceful retreats and scenic beauty.
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:55.519
So if you're joining the fun from Poland, you represent a deep love of learning, a vibrant musical tradition, and a strong connection to nature.
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.399
Next on our list is Ireland.
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:06.159
Ireland is famous for its storytelling traditions where myths, legends, and folklore have been passed down for generations.
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:12.799
Ireland is known for its lush green landscapes, earning it the nickname Emerald Isle.
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:20.480
Ireland has made lasting contributions to literature, producing many world-renowned authors and poets.
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:31.919
So if you're joining the fun from Ireland, you represent rich storytelling, breathtaking landscapes, and a literary legacy that continues to inspire today.
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:37.279
And last but certainly not least on our list this week is Switzerland.
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:45.679
Switzerland is renowned for its precision engineering and craftsmanship, including watches and other high quality products.
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:54.000
Switzerland has some of the cleanest air and water in the world, reflecting a strong commitment to environmental care.
00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:03.039
And Switzerland is famous for its beautiful mountains and lakes, making it a top destination for outdoor adventures and peaceful retreats.
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:12.799
So if you're joining the fun from Switzerland, you represent careful craftsmanship, environmental stewardship, and a lifestyle connected to nature's beauty.
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:20.159
It's always so good to see where everyone is and know a little bit about you, generally speaking, that is.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.159
So thanks for joining the fun.
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.840
And of course, we've got plenty more of you on the list.
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.600
We're gonna learn about three more listener-based countries next Tuesday.
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:41.200
Okay, so here we are, the first Tuesday of April, and I told you guys I was gonna try to check in every month regarding the ongoing, what did I decide to call it?
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:49.519
I changed my mind a couple times over time, the you do you project or the the anti-New Year's Resolution Project or something.
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:59.759
Instead of just stressing yourself out in January, putting yourself through it, and then failing at it, we're just picking a couple things to improve on.
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:09.440
And it can be real tiny, just a little habit you want to change, something you've gotten kind of lax on, something big, whatever you're really ready to take on.
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.639
Make sure you do it right so you're just ready to do the change.
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.679
Don't force yourself into something that you're gonna be miserable with.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.360
Not fun, not fun.
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:21.440
So let me tell you about a few of the things that I've been doing.
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.480
Maybe they'll inspire someone out there, and it's always just good to talk about it, right?
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.360
So I've been trying to eat healthier.
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:36.240
I've had a ton of inflammation, and it's food related, so I don't really know what sets it off.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.679
I can eat certain things and then I'm just puffed up like crazy.
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:40.559
It's crazy.
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.879
And it's not really a food allergy, it's a sensitivity, like a reaction.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:54.720
Your body's just inflamed all over because it's got artificial stuff in it or something that your body's not dealing with in some capacity.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.639
And that's what's really weird about being a person, essentially.
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:05.360
We're all different and we can all react radically different to the same types of foods and stuff.
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:14.080
So I'm just trying to clean up my diet, eliminate the bad stuff, take in more of the good stuff, and make slow changes.
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:33.360
And the past month or so in particular, and I didn't even bring the cookbook down here, so I'll have to do a cookbook review, but I bought a slow cooker crock pot cookbook, and it's not just a crock pot cookbook, but it's for inflammation and eating healthier.
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:46.000
So the nice thing about a crock pot or a slow cooker is that you can prep everything, put it in there, turn it on, and then it's going to be done in about eight to ten hours, depending on what you're doing.
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.320
Sometimes sooner, find your recipe, follow it to the letter.
00:13:50.639 --> 00:14:05.279
But you can make so many different kinds of things, and then you don't have to stand there over the stove worrying about burning stuff, anything like that, and it just cooks on its own, and you don't have to do a whole lot.
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:20.399
So I cooked something that if I was to put it in the oven and cook it, I would have had to been babysitting that for two hours solid at least, and I would have had more prep time, I would have had more to do and dirtied up more dishes.
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:25.440
It just would have been more drama, and I just I'm not my heart's not in it.
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.159
I like do it and go and be done with it.
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.080
Crock pot, done.
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:39.759
Put it in late at night before bed, I turn it on, go to bed, get up in the morning, gosh, I have brunch right there, depending on what I'm making.
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.679
It's a beautiful thing, and way less dishes to do.
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:57.279
So if that's an option for anyone out there and you're looking for a time saver, you're looking for someone to cook for you, but you don't have anyone to cook for you, get yourself a crock pot, practice on the weekends when you're home if you're worried about it.
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:25.840
A lot of times back in the day when I was working outside of the home, that's something that you could set up, literally put it in the refrigerator overnight, prep it before bed, in the morning, pull it out of the fridge, and you put the the crock part of it down into the heater unit, put the lid on it, turn it on low, let it go, you get home from work, your meal is hot and ready for you, and the house smells amazing.
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.960
Wow! So my latest creation was just simply a chuck roast.
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:32.639
A chuast.
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.679
And sometimes that can be a little on the tough side.
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.799
It's not always as appealing, but if you cook it right in a slow cooker, it falls apart.
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.480
It's so tender and it's just it's done to perfection.
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:52.480
Next, I know there's probably people out there that are vegetarian, you might be vegan, you can still use a crock pot for that.
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:59.200
You have to get a specific cookbook, and there's different types of veggies you can do, soups, all sorts of stuff.
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.240
You can use it to make chili, whatever you want.
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.919
Really, it doesn't have to be carnivore related.
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:13.200
And then speaking of that, for anyone out there on a budget, I'm gonna mention a YouTube channel I just recently found.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.559
I stumbled across it.
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.960
Oh, and there he is right there, right in front of me.
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.720
Um, the guy I don't know what the guy's name is.
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:52.399
His YouTube channel is Beyond Food Market, and he has he tries to put out videos quite a bit for how you can feed a family of two on two dollars for a meal, how to feed one person on one dollar, how to feed a family of four on eight dollars, and he gets very creative with it, but the catch is it's gluten-free and vegan.
00:16:52.639 --> 00:17:13.359
So if you're looking for some very inexpensive and actually very healthy ideas out there, his videos are short and sweet and to the point and budget friendly, and honestly, I've seen him make a couple of things in the past few days that I've been taking notes on because I'm just gonna go buy the stuff and make it for myself.
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:20.559
And then last on just the whole trying to improve how I eat, this is a struggle for me, guys.
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.559
I am not gonna make it sound easy.
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.119
It is something that I've struggled with for quite a while.
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.000
And then when you live alone, you tend to just not have that meal planning.
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.000
You get a little lazy with that, it's easy to just grab the instant stuff.
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.720
It's not necessarily in your best interests.
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.480
So one thing I really love is soda.
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.720
So I've been trying to cut soda out.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:47.440
Not crazy about just grabbing a bottle of water all day at all.
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:52.160
I don't mind drinking water, but it just gets it's uninteresting after a while.
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.160
It's like I want something with some flavor on it.
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.799
So actually, I looked and found some supplements that I wanted to try.
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:05.279
They have a pleasing flavor, and they address some stuff that I thought, well, it might be beneficial at my age.
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:06.799
I'm gonna try it.
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:14.960
You put it in your water, you drink it, tastes pleasant, it has nutrients in it that I could be lacking or that could be beneficial.
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.240
And you know what?
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.559
In a week's time, I'm already feeling better.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.240
So maybe there's something to that.
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.480
I was already cutting soda out, so I kind of feel the same from that.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:30.960
All in all, the overall efforts start to finish thus far, I am drinking less soda.
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:36.079
I kind of have some days mixed in where I'm I just like, no, I'm gonna go get something that's bad for me.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.920
But it's less and less.
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:43.759
So you start getting new habits, you start making changes, you start getting used to those changes.
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.359
They're not so bad anymore.
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.640
They're not so radical.
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.319
So I wanted to just let you guys know, yeah, it's possible.
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.240
And it's really not that hard.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.079
Sometimes the mental prep is what holds you back.
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:02.720
You just amp up about how much you're gonna resist something, and then you do it, and it's like, oh, well, that's not so bad.
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:10.480
So I had a little bit of that in the mix the past few months, but all in all, I'm really happy I started doing some of this stuff.
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:16.160
I definitely feel better, my attitude's better, and I'm doing a few other small things.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:28.000
I'm doing small organizational changes and small just tidying up and just cleaning generally speaking, putting stuff away after I use it so it doesn't create as much clutter.
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.559
And that's paying off too.
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:43.039
Slow going, you get busy, it's easy to set stuff down, not put it away right, but all in all, I'm getting better with that, and I just don't have as much, you know, housework on the weekends that way.
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:44.160
It's a time saver.
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:48.160
I try to do stuff in the moment, and you know, it pays off.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:56.160
So you start reaping the benefits, your deep psyche, I think, starts going, aha, okay, yeah, we can embrace this.
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.920
It doesn't resist as much, it gets easier over time.
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:08.000
So whatever those habits are that you're trying to get better at, that you're trying to change, so maybe you're just trying to be more pleasant.
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.079
That's an easy one to embrace.
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.799
Just try to be nice every chance you get.
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:18.480
Small action, here again, you don't have to go overboard, just try not to be cranky.
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:19.839
Maybe that's it.
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:38.240
Whatever the case, find your thing that you want to improve on, that thing in life that you want to do better at that's gonna make you a better version of you, and that you are starting to realize, like, hey, if I drop this habit or if I pick up this habit, life's gonna be easier, life's gonna be better.
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:40.319
Do that, whatever that is for you.
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.799
That could be different for everyone out there.
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:51.839
You won't regret it, you're gonna be proud of yourself, and best of all, sometimes we don't like talking about this stuff, it gets kind of weird and squirmy, you know?
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.279
You don't have to tell anyone.
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.160
If you're self-conscious about change and what others might say, don't say anything.
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:06.240
Chances are everyone around you is so self-absorbed in their own thing, they're not gonna notice and it'll be a non-issue.
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.920
So if you're one of those that you have worries on that, and trust me, I've been there, it can be a thing.
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:14.079
It's probably not a thing.
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:20.880
Anyway, have fun with it, enjoy it, and then when you see changes in yourself, pat yourself on the back.
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.519
Write it down in your gratitude journal.
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.400
Buy yourself some Thrive gear to celebrate.
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:32.799
Whatever it takes, take notice, make your day better because of it, enjoy that victory.
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.160
You're entitled to it.
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:35.599
That's yours.
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:37.119
And then keep going.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.960
Keep going for the long haul.
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:40.000
Don't stop.
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.079
Make it a lifestyle change.
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.799
Alright, that's all I've got for you this week.
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:46.559
I hope you're sound asleep.
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:52.400
I hope you have dozed off and you're snoozing and snoring and you wake up and it's just tomorrow.
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:14.640
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.839
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:20.719
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:23.679
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:29.760
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:37.520
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.920
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:41.359
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.679
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.759
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.560
00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:06.799
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.040
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.920
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:23.439
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.359
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.239
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:39.200
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.920
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.920
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:49.680
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.120
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.560
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.680
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.959
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.759
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.360
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.879
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.800
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.639
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:29.919
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.159
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:44.159

00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:58.879
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.120
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.680
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:11.919
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.039
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:14.879
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.400
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.039
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.960
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.479
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.159
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.879
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.080
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:47.520
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.240
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:53.680
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.360
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:06.400

00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.160
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:47.120
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.279
00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:03.360
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.040
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:22.720
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.680
