Alright, here. We are. Here. We are. Here we go chasing life trying to get somewhere and seeing Life as a to-do list checking things off. All of these are like we could call them like old Paradigm ways of creating something and some of those are still useful tools and we got it like have a list of things that need to be done. Maybe but life is not a to-do list. We're on this planet to have an experience.Okay, amazing. Welcome to another episode of the real life, but better reality hacking podcast. I'm your host Samantha Lotus and one of my favorite humans on the planet Julian Cooter lie, he is a transformational coach and a content creator at a really epic podcast called The Green Planet Blue Planet podcast. It is such a pleasure. I've been on his podcast few times and nowI'm being Grace of his presence here. And yeah, I'm super excited and really grateful to be jamming with you. I'm excited as well. This is a great place where here in LA in Venice, you know, like good Sunshine Vibes. I can't wait to talk about whatever we're going to be talking about. Yeah. So the whole premise of this podcast is really extracting the gold that you have in how you've been able to hack reality. You know, it's all about what your practices are and some of your philosophies and your modalities that you utilize. As for yourself in optimizing your health and your happiness as well as your freedom and then how you transmit that as well to your clients and the people that you work with so I want to know real life but better reality hacking what comes to mind when you hear these terms and you think about this real life but better reality hacking. Well, the first thing that comes to mind for me is to like reframe what hacking reality could mean and so I think the context under which I understand it is Idea that reality is a certain way, you know you go to school you get a job. You have a family he said receptor that's reality as its told to a lot of people it should be or there is this this dream that you can or could achieve but maybe you don't you know, and so that's more like the mediocre wave of life that would say right and you're saying real life, but better for me what comes to mind is just reframing what is it that I truly desire from a place of heart and soul much more than my mind or my conditioning and then how How do I achieve that? How do I have the energy for that in a way that I'm not faking to make it? I'm not pushing myself to like over exert and get somewhere but I'm actually learning to you know inquire within and create a relationship with in like for me life hacking really is when I the first life hack is like switching your perception of life from the life is happening outside of you like here I am with his other beautiful human being sitting here having an interview but really there's an Inside relationship about that where I've cultivated, you know over a hundred thirty podcast episodes. I'd like created this inquiry in myself. And so as a result of that also, they are moments like this that are happening and when I flip my switch to to see live more this way and it's you know, it's a continuous practice. I feel like everything became a little bit slower. Actually, I gets accelerated and there's momentum but it feels like life is happening with like a slow-motion drumbeat where you know, some people say when you meditate a lot you make less mistakes, you don't do no mistakes, but you make less mistakes and so for me that all is like how I would start to kind of reframe hacking reality. I love that because the first thing that you said is really the whole premise is that we've been conditioned and taught and socialized to believe that life. Is a certain way right Modern Life, we really been put through this machine to become employees and to work the nine-to-five to think this way that our parents thought to act the way that Society wants to act to be in the box and really the better is all about. Well, that's okay and that's cool and there can be more if your heart desires more if your soul wants more and if you really feel called to having something different and a lot of people when I start talking to them about this like well, I don't even know what I want like, I don't know what my soul. Banzai they can't even conceptualize that something could be different. And so how do you tune in and hear what your soul is wanting or know what's inside of you? Like what are some of your ways of going within and introspecting? I love that question and let me answer that question in short and then also put some context to it. So for me the way I tuned in it's pretty simple its breath and meditation. I do a lot of breathwork have been doing this for years and years. I teach it I shared with people it's part of what I offer to my clients as well. It just cuts the thinking apparatus like a cuts that the moment of like overthinking trying to interpret trying to make meaning you breathe in a certain holotropic way or in a certain light. Crea Kundalini, Yoga way and on the other side of that there's space right? That's the short answer. I would say and my real like teacher in that sense. I really this is going to sound funny to some people but I don't care. It's really the trees like the moment. I'm in the forest. There is a different way of listening for me then when I'm let's say in a city in a city there is there is just it's like this human swirl we're in and if you're going and doing things you might have enough momentum to meet Everyone you need to meet but if you're in a city just taken space and looking around you might start seeing all the things that are quite fucked up, you know, like from homelessness to Poverty to how dirty our environments are to how rectangular they are, which is not really biomimicry. And so in the forest, it's quite the opposite where my whole being my whole energy field my electromagnetic field. My my body my perception starts kind of like breathing with what the environment has to offer which then brings me back inside. I love that. So I'll start with that second thing that you said about being in nature connecting to the trees where there's so much oxygenation. There's the color green your out. There's maybe some sunshine you're getting the wind in your face and it's very much connecting you back to the mother that we've really been disconnected from I feel like a lot of humans forget that we're of the Earth because we grew up in these concrete boxes and are often disconnected and a lot of people know like, okay. Yeah nature is good for me. But how often are you actually getting out into Sure, like how much are we submerging ourselves into the forest and into the lakes and into the ocean, right? And then like leaving this guy at home or at least in the car? Right? And so that's the context. I wanted to give to that first question already and it still fits really well, which is you know, you're asking about finding this. This more like if someone wants more of their life or wants to live the hard Society or their dream and so you listening you probably know that like some of the dreams we have they're actually placed into us through the narratives are of our society so they might be dreams, but they're not really your dreams. Like let's say becoming a famous actor in Hollywood, you know is like possibly something you might think about the possibly it's just something that's really in the collective model, you know, and so your real dreams your real purpose you're real. I would call it assignment. You know is it has a different energetic signature with frequency to it? And I feel like you know in like planetary circumstances that that would bring that out from early age. We'd have an education system that like interact with children as like, you know Foster's curiosity guides us through love into finding these gifts and gives us some boundaries. So we're not going completely off the charts, but that would be like an ideal scenario maybe but in the situation our life and our circumstances are right now, I feel like it's our individual job to embrace the transformation to say yes to that you say yes to maybe the scary Koreans of the unknown like not knowing what comes later today not knowing what comes tomorrow, you know not knowing even what your next paycheck comes from just to understand and breathe and be for a while in the space where you like, so what is it that I'd like this to be and for some people it is switching careers quitting your day job and doing something entirely else, but for a lot of people actually both friends of mine myself and clients. I experienced that over and over it's about the like one or two or three degree Attunement. So instead of like Rewiring everything it's realizing where do I have this in my life already, you know like I would not recommend to quit your day job just quite yet. You know, it's sometimes it's just showing up with more energy going to the day job so that that can transform into a different day job, you know, but the alignment of like two or three degrees if you think of it 50 years later, if you haven't attuned you'd be at a complete different destination then if you actually say, okay, I'll take this time maybe every day through breath and meditation to attune to this to connection to Assignment I love that you said that because a lot of people that say that they hate their day jobs. It's mostly for reasons apart from the job itself. It might be because they are not taking care of themselves. They're not sleeping right? They're not eating right? They have no energy. They don't know how to process emotions. They don't know how to have authentic conversations or share what doesn't feel aligned with them or confront their neighbor about whatever is happening. And so there's so much of this like bottling things up and not feeling well already that when we engage Age with their environments were more easily triggered. Our nervous system is already on fire and we're not able to meet our lives in a way that is conducive to being healthier happy. And I know that one of the things that is really in your practice of Mastery is working on your nervous system and toning yourself to be grounded and stable and really Buddha's zen-like. Hmm. So what do you what do you do for the people that there she said that about me? Well, you know, the people that are really like all the time kind of like in the sack. I said like super triggered paper sympathetic nervous system alone it thank you for that. First of all, but then I would say I'm in a path of Mastery in training right as we all are because there are some days when I'm like, oh, wow, I sure wish I dealt with that better but failure or momentary failure or like fucking op or doing something wrong isn't actually catastrophe. I think that's the first thing to realize is like what are you doing right now is already good enough. Allow yourself to just be okay with what life is like right in this moment in with the way you react is cetera and then the nervous system. I mean you were asking. How how can somebody like you know embrace, you know, maybe a little bit more than Orvis Buddha like we call it like a someone out there. They just feel like they're constantly frustrated constantly agitated, like really, you know that like super fire Yang energy where it's inhibiting them from really being able to live their life. I've definitely dealt with a fair share of frustration throughout my life with you know, this idea of like being too much having too much energy for others to handle and then being told Smaller or less intense, you know and I had to navigate that for years and years to realize now. I'm actually not too much. I'm just the right amount. It's just that there's a proper timing and alignment with other people and sometimes people aren't ready to hear you and when you have so much energy When you get frustrated, you actually like shooting yourself in the foot, but if you understand, okay, I have a lot of energy right now and I might maybe would be doing this differently, but the situation doesn't really allow for more understanding or a better connection. Then your maturity is really required in the maturity to say, okay, maybe I can experience my nervous system and that energetic outbreak of like pounding hard and like I gotta say something right and realize okay, is that can actually help me. Can I calm down my breath in real time to just breathe a few times and realize okay, like yes, it's important to State your boundaries and is important to say who you are and what you want and sometimes words are just Inhibitors. They're creating a little prisons of what's not possible. And so I think number one shortcut is always the breath and so for me how that looks in re like literally real life situations. You know it I mean, I don't place my And on the belly necessarily in a real life situation all the time, but I would place my hand on my belly or at least like my Awareness on it and it just take the biggest. Well first a breath out by declares a like bringing the diaphragm all the way in towards of your belly button into your spine basically and then I you know on that empty diaphragm I breathe in as deeply as I can to my belly. And then into my chest. So I'm already slowing down time in this moment because my breath is like, you know 15 seconds long instead of five seconds long. And usually what happens is an instant energetic shift in the space. You're in your bubbling up nervous system. That might want to shout or react or say something realizes. Okay that's going on. But really what if you were able like talking about it from a tantric perspective time chicly able to use that energy to to read Taking it in your system. So you keep breathing. You connect your tongue to the roof of your mouth. And you're just realizing. Oh, wow. I have a lot of energy in me right now. It needs to transform in some way. Maybe I can sing or yeah, I'm you know, if you're in the forest or the ocean yell at the ocean or if you are with your partner or something have sex and transform it whatever it is, you know, but but in the moment when you're aware of it, you can just get aware of it first because if you just react to life, I mean, we've all done that it For me, it just never created the outcomes I want and I'm too curious about expanding my being to to stay stuck in that you know, it's conscious. It's continuously wasting energy. Yeah, thinking energy and what I love about what you said is really it's conscious pattern interrupting. It's like okay triggered react triggered react, but if you can be triggered and pattern interrupt conscious awareness, okay, slow it down take a deep breath ask myself is this effectively What is effective for me? How do I navigate this? Is it an outburst? Is it taking utilizing this energy? You know, I love that because that's bringing in that awareness and the Consciousness and bring us out of just like that ego-driven or nervous system event or trauma driven type of reactionary response. And you know, I would add to that that having this kind of nervous system driven response or the ego-driven or the the, you know, old triggers driven response again, like could you just could you let that be okay for the one or two times that it happens? So you get to actually watch yourself instead of having an opinion about yourself? Yeah, because it's actually a different thing to have an opinion in your mind. We're like, well that didn't work out or like that person was rude, you know or like oh that person just didn't get me like they're not awake enough or whatever it is. Whatever the opinion is. We all label things, you know, but when you slow down through breath, you see the label you see the opinion your mind is placing and you're like, okay. Wait a little bit longer because I know after I have an opinion. I'm trying to make meaning there's something else on the inside screen, right? And so I don't pretend like I don't have judgmental thoughts. I mean human I judge judgment can be helpful. If I don't judge if I want to eat avocado toast or eggs. I won't make a decision, right? That's that's a minor judgment, but the judgment is a normal process. It's just when we expand our awareness of our internal screen, I would call it. We we can see the judgment and the We can pass we take another breath and we realized oh, there's actually nothing to say right now. I don't have to rebuttal or there is something to say, let me State my boundary or let me be really clear or let me invite the person to see differently and we just experienced it earlier with a co-worker right like the moment. We want to we want to discuss. Let's say schedules and timings and plans often people just see it slightly differently. But sometimes it's like the more words you add to something the more stuck you get and so I've been at that place. A lot in my life, you know where I'm like I speak a few different languages English is my second language. I love languages. I love talking. I love listening. But there is this place in conversations where I've noticed like, oh wow. Me and my partner on me and my business partner me and my friends. We just trigger each other to keep talking and so taking the wind out of that sale consciously can be a contribution as well and just to be like Only because we disagree you're not actually infringing my boundary and something awful is going to happen. I don't have to like straight my boundary right now is like no, I actually am self secure enough to know that Sam's not going to hurt me and I trust you and let's just take you in this example. So I don't need to always be on the full edge with people. You know, I can just realize okay today. This is my time to be the wiser one and takes a deeper breath and quotation marks here for everyone on the wiser one. Listening on I really like what you're saying and that taking space creating space, especially when there's something reactionary or something. That's really Intense or what people would qualify as maybe like negative like anger resentment or judgment that that has saved my relationship with one of like this my partner, you know being able to know that we used to trigger the fuck out of each other and I mean you've seen it. I've seen it live on Facebook. I don't know why they would do that, but it is so So that was something huge, you know, especially if anyone has like a twin flame relationship or somebody and maybe a parent or partner that just triggers the shit out of you but you love them and it's constant triggering something that we've incorporated into a relationship is just okay, when we notice that we're getting in this washing machine spiral or tornado of triggers just like oh boy, if one of us can be conscious and to say hey, let's just take a deep breath or even not even say that I just like stop and like you said just take a deep breath. It slows time completely it pattern trips and it reminds me, okay. He is aware and taking a breath I can do the same thing. We can reset and then in that moment ask like well, what's the most effective way to move forward? How would I how do I choose? What do I choose now? Right that conscious choice and I feel like this is a huge part about reality hacking is about consciously being the co-creator of your reality. And so when you're consciously co-creating your reality rather than just like reactively living out. Reality, what are some of the ways that you may be manifest or consciously create your life or plan or just let things flow through you if you're the conscious co-creator. What does that look like for you? How do you navigate that? It's such a good question. There's two things are coming up for me one is in the inter personal space. So in the interpersonal space when I'm let's say with my beloved or with a friend what I believe we all ultimately want is is to recognize There's only one of us here, you know where the infinite truth of Love individualizes Julian Assange in this moment, but with silly infinite truth of Love truly and so as that like humor, is that conscious co-creation. How often can I bring it back to humor and like I love teasing I love being witty. I love when people are sharp. I just enjoy that because I don't have an insecurity that if you point something out about me that'll have to go home and be like, oh that was hard. But yeah, I might be hard but you my friend so I enjoy that you point things out because if we're easy about that possibly if we get lucky we can laugh and you all know laughter is like the best medicine on the planet it transcends any cultural differences any language groups. Anything laughter is just like number one co-creation to I would say but I didn't know that Germans. Laughs ha ha ha ha ha. Well, I don't laugh about that because I am a German Germans are actually known to go into the basement to laugh. I'm just a nobody sees it. No, that's a fair point. That's a fair point man. That was a deep one. Ha ha ha, I like poking. So I have to also be okay with people poking, right? So so now that's good. That's good. I agree. I agree. Let me say the second piece to it. So the second piece is on a like Visions. How do I co-create or manifest my visions and so you know we talked about this earlier over coffee you and I it I feel like Chasing Life trying to get somewhere seeing Life as a to-do list checking things off. All of these are like we could call them like old Paradigm ways of creating something and some of those are still useful tools and we got it like have a list of things that need to be done. Maybe but life is not a to-do list. We're on this planet to have an experience first and foremost, right and you know, an easier circumstances everyone could be doing that already, but we're on that journey of learning how we can have this. World as a an open Journey for everyone. Well that works for everyone. And so I feel like when we talk about visions and co-creating them, it's a healthy mix of like being off the world, you know, but but kind of like there's a quote in the upanishads where I think Krishna says to Arjuna like like live by the cosmic laws, but operate within the human laws love that right? So that's how I would talk later. Yeah, you're integrating the soul, but you are actually Like, you know if I'm completely like fuck all I do whatever I want because I'm like so awake and I see through all the Matrix sure maybe but like if you're driving on the wrong side of the street every day all the time, that's a useless bias to break because at some point somebody will be like, yo, we got to lock this person up and so that's being of the world, you know, like living within the human loss to realize some of those boundaries. We've created even though you might not agree with all of them. They are just helpful to stay within and we can And them in the momentum and change them as we go but but we're not here to just resist in my eyes because when we're Guided by the the you know, the Topography of spirit, right the way Spirit arranges things and connect people and like what were the chances that we're meeting in LA today? Yeah, like two months ago. I would have been like what I'm eating salmon late that makes no sense to me. Like she's never there. I'm never there and now we're both here, you know. Yeah, and so that's for me like where the Topography of spirit continues to weave time and space in a way and so Co-creating that consciously is to make space for that understanding and again like comes back to your first question meditation breathwork being in in the forest for me allows for another buzzword here to to like experience more Kairos, right like the Greek understanding of time as like Kronos being like the Earthly measurable time and like to do lists and 11 a.m. Sharp and whatever else like we have a meeting at this we started 1111 here at the Mystic Manor in California. Meeting start at 11:00 11:00 or 12:00, 12:00 or 3:00 3:00, pretty much arrived at every level. That's hilarious. And then the Kairos is like, you know, like being of that Timeless essence of that more flowing Essence and I would say that's really one of the many balance points I both share with people and like have little modules and coachable surround that but also like that's how I run my own life is like life's not a to-do list, so I don't want to just check off my like next podcast episode and I gotta get like this. This recognition and this prize and be on that show that make wish lists and I write to the universe but ultimately at some point I Just Surrender that you know, and then just live life as its as its fun like following my passion since I love that. Yeah, absolutely insane that stimulates within me as I feel like consciously co-creating and manifesting is both a balance of the masculine and The Feminine and so for me, the masculine is very much the doing the checklist the goals the accomplishments like penetrating reality with my forces. All the things that I want to do and accomplish which I love and there's a point to you. And then the feminine is receiving and going with the flow and seeing the Divine tape history that is unfolding or the Topography of like oh Julian and I are both here in LA and we're linking up and then this thing and then this is going to go out and someone's going to see it and reach out and then we're going to all connect and then they're going to be our next business partner and data data data that those are things that you can't plan you can't foresee. You can't deny when they pop up and it feels so right. And so it's really about the balance for me of that flow of like receiving and surrendering and witnessing the unfolding while also showing up in life and doing and accomplishing and achieving because I feel like you know, we can be Buddhist monks and sit and pray and meditate all day and I don't know that we're going to get that much done just threw that in the physical world will probably do a lot in the metaphysical world. But again, yeah in that manifesting balancing, you know meditation is very feminine. It's very much receiving its opening up and then doing consistent aligned action in your life. I feel like that's the very masculine side of manifesting. I like where you went with that. You know, it's it's maybe a good moment to bring that back to reality like so if you've already inquired into yourself deeply then you might already have an idea of what your assignment is and So within your assignment on this planet by like the reason why you're live on planet Earth right now, that's your assignment right and within that there might be some things that you need to do either daily or weekly or regularly, but there's some doing connected to it. And so especially when it's about what I call Planetary purpose or an assignment, you know, it's like you got to still have this feminine this flowing this this listening Essence, right? I believe like if I were to sum all this up into two short things it's listening and and song actually so because listening is is informing us, you know, Charles eisenstein, for example, it's quoted to say like, you know, if we were to listen to Mother Earth and we would feel and hear her pain we would stop doing everything we're doing to her. Yeah, and then the quote about singing is is one of my friends said this on the Green Planet Blue Planet podcast, when more people sing more people harmonize. And so that's kind of how for me this balance kind of looks it's about understanding where frequency first and foremost. We're in this body glove or human vessel or this Temple, whatever you want to call it. And that's amazing. That's fun. And it's organic and it's real and it's alive but also we're energy and as that energy like, how are we listening to the rest of the energy reality to the rest of Life? How are we a tuning which Again song is, you know, our words are sharp and Creed meaning and they create room for interpretation but a song, you know, if we're just doing like oh and you see you join me without you know, suddenly we have two waves merging and there's much less room for separation in that. It's just like cascading Unity that comes to summon and that's why forever tribes gathered and saying right ceremony of singing and harmonizing and feeling the vibration that's created is yeah. Really beautiful really important. I love that. There's there's listening hearing and then there's like really answering great. A lot of us know what were meant to do. We know that we're healers or were light workers or were coaches or were meant to be on stage or whatever. It is. Maybe were meant to be a mom or a dad and we just know that and then there's layers of conditioning or socialization or shame or worry or limiting beliefs that are blocking those things and I see that all the time with Well, I work with it's like oh, well, I know that I meant to be a Healer but followed by all of the excuses. Nobody would listen to me. I don't have the qualifications. I'm not beautiful enough. I'm not smart enough I have so much to do. I don't have the money to invest in it died at a tada. And so a lot of us suppress Our Truth and in my personal experience what I see from that is when we're not living in alignment with our divine assignment or a planetary purpose the body becomes a deteriorate because it's here for that. And so what I I have witnessed is a lot of illness and disease often stems from people living completely out of alignment with what their soul knows they came here to do 100% I think it's the metcon who says like you're already spirit. So you're not really on a spiritual journey. You are Spirit you you wear on our body is on a spiritual journey. And so if we don't take care of the body in a way that allows maybe, you know in my words to see That this is like a rather simple animal body, you know at the pace of it, but yet we're here in this body to evolve it to attune more to clean it into you know higher states of vibration, but also not in a phony kind of out of your head way like it's not about just saying buzzwords and being all pretentious about. Oh, it's so marvelous everything. It's like no life is real and sometimes it sucks and sometimes it's hard and sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's amazing and sometimes we celebrate in the End of the day, you know gratitude cuts through all of that and connect it again. Whoo, I love that. You said that that is one of my non-negotiables every single morning as soon as I become conscious. I allow myself to not just think about the things I'm grateful for but to fully allow gratitude to wash over me through me and to pour out of me and often especially recently. I wake up with tears in my eyes. Just thinking oh my God, I am so grateful. I have so much to be grateful for or at the energetic blueprint of gratitude allows you to create and attract and be more grateful and see more things to be grateful for and when you walk through your life having this Mega Energy body of gratitude and appreciation. You become completely magnetic 100 percentile of the magnetic gratitude example, like think of it in the metaphor. Like if you were to have a drum kit, right and you sit with your drum kit in the middle of a Town Square or like in the middle of Venice Beach or they pick up It's where there's a bunch of people around and you were to and the drum kit is you drumming the frequency of gratitude. And if you were to drum once an hour once bong bong bong, like once an hour, you know, no one around you would really take that in will get magnetized by people be like, what's that? Okay, this is Julian because of how handsome he is and then all the men and women would gather round just to witness and be in the present. Well, thanks, but also keeping going. The metaphor. Okay. So that was really good. But in that matter for just to keep rolling, thank you. It's warming my heart. That's so kind in that metaphor. If you actually do what sound does in the morning and you build momentum of gratitude in for 11 minutes or whatever you like about the bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump everyone on that square will start feeling that Sound hearing me like what's going on over there? Oh, that's a frequency. That's a resonance you now starting to actually beat a drum and Even though that might be internal when you do that on an energetic layer the moment you go out into society or you call someone that's felt that is felt the same way that the sound on the metaphorical drum kit is heard and so building momentum with gratitude makes for a marvelous moment. I love that building momentum with gratitude makes for marvelous moments alliteration. Just my heart's the language nerdom, you know as a my ha ha ha linguistic Alchemist and yeah, you know something that I've witnessed - personally is when you are move forward through your life with gratitude and with this emotional body of thanks and of positivity again with the magnetism most people that I meet as soon as I hug them and I greet them with a big smile. Like hey, I'm Samantha. It's so nice to meet you. They're like, whoa, who are you? Like I can feel your presence like come here. I want to be close to you. I want to get to know you. I want to play with you and networking and growing community and being open to new opportunities. In possibilities is exponentially it's just massive because people want to be around people that feel good and gratitude and appreciation and being thankful being positive is like a son it radiates warmth. It's my favorite metaphor ever. I love metaphors. You might have noticed because I feel like they're their intellectual reframes to let go of what he thought was true. And you see it slightly differently and the Sun is my favorite metaphor like be like the sun it always shines. Even if it's cloudy the sun actually shine. signs and so obviously from an environmental point of view Humanity our technology the way we create energy on this planet could learn a lot from the Sun and I think we're finally making our way there but also as individuals it's like you have a hard in the solar plexus that I kind of like the summit's beating as long as you're alive and it's sending Vibes out into the world and want to say one more thing about gratitude because you know, For everyone who feels amazing often, they also feel sometimes not amazing or you know have like an emotional moment. That's an up-and-down that's life. Right like as long as we're alive. We have the heart beat that goes up and down and that might be like not rock bottom, but it might just be emotional and the same goes with gratitude. There are moments when we think we're not grateful and shout out to our mutual friend David block David. If you watching that I read your latest post like a few days ago or so and he was he was saying that complaining isn't gratitude and He caught himself complaining regularly and that was resonating with me because you know, I'm definitely not a complainer. But sometimes I can hear this like it's not enough energy come out where I'm like, oh careful there because that's not really the energy. I am who I am. It's it's just something that's being practiced in the past. And so when we look at things that are technically not gratitudes like David was mentioning he had to fly 40 hours to get somewhere or like multiple flights and a trip that was 40 hours in at the end of Of it. It's like oh my back hurts. Fuck. I hate this, you know, and so that's maybe the narrative that's really easily available because like yeah 40 hours and you begged us hurry, but even bringing gratitude to that is like I am going to make in his case make music for a whole community in a different place in the world. I'm allowed to go to the Maldives. I got invited or in my case. I'm driving an hour through traffic of her in LA to meet Sam to record this, you know, I'm not going to be like, oh I hate this traffic because the traffic is going to be there if I hate it, or I don't hate it and some of those moments might be triggering sure but when I realize I'm actually grateful for being in that traffic jam right now because it's just what it is and I get to breathe and listen to a great podcast exactly. That was exactly at what am I going to put on? Yeah something that I love and so so and essentially we're sure we live and perceive reality through language through our words and words are coding. They're constantly coding Us and something that we often say is I have to do this. I have to drive across town. I have to take a 40-hour Flay. I have to do my work today. If you can consciously choose to reframe that and say I get to who the energy of well I get to drive to go see Sam. Oh, yeah, I get to fly to the Maldives. I I'm so fortunate that I get to perform in front of other people and the journey is a part of that I get to do this work that I feel so called to I get to work out today because my body loves it when you start to reframe I have to with I get to the energetic shift in that is so massive and you will feel a visceral actual cellular shift and upgrade. So that's my invitation to all of you. I want you to comment I accept if you accept that. Okay, I accept. Do stuff that. I accept that I definitely get to do a lot of amazing things and it really ties back in with what we said earlier life is not a to-do list. And if you have to do things your you actually operating from that perspective or that perception that there are two dues that need to be done in order to get to where you want to get to like earn the money or meet the person or whatever it is. And again the to do is is still there. And the the one hour through traffic is still there, but I get to do that. So that's actually my life Journey. I'm incarnate into this body to do this right now. And so it might sound funny to some people but that doesn't matter because I know it's true. It's the same as saying that energetic shift and your freedom inside is exponential because of those reframes it's so true and I've been stuck in the old program of complaining like sometimes I feel like complaining. It's very seductor e it feels so good. It's like you get in the spiral of bitching and complaining and like getting down. And when other people join in and you can both complain together, it's like yeah, but this and you spiral together and you like amp up the energy and it feels good your bonding together over how shitty is and and a lot of people are stuck in that and I know I used to really be stuck in that but consciously making that decision to shift that and to not allow yourself to be consumed by that type of energy it again, it's a practice right? And so just bringing in that conscious awareness of when you are falling into the Trap of complaining then asking you, how can I breathe, how can I tune in and how can I reframe this and how can I bring gratitude into this? I love it. There's another alliteration there because everything got his momentum, right so many moments make massive momentum many moments of complaining or mmmm for many moments of gratitude. It's like it's up to us, right like in and again, we said in the beginning to like the only like be down on yourself or like hate yourself for complaining sometimes it's just like when you watch yourself do that realize you don't have to you get to actually flip that you want to I didn't and even the flipping that it's like, you know, we live in this world where Instagram looks glorious and most people share only positive things on their Facebook and so forth and I've tried a few of that to actually does social media, you know, you will see me like because I like keeping it real. Yeah, and that's when I was just about to say is like keeping it real, you know, I think I do that if you like actually read my post on Instagram, you'll understand what I'm going through but it's like keeping it real to this moment where you realize okay, like it's not at all about being perfect. And of course that's intellectually super clear to everyone but like I had to check myself about like pseudo perfectionism a few times in my life. I'm like, why am I holding the bar to a degree where I can't achieve it anyway to then be down. Myself instead of just showing up in the best I can and this is my invitation for all of you is like no matter where you are in your life. If you're living a dream to the fullest and you just want more like ease of mind or if you are like in a day job that you don't really like make the most of every moment you're in right now. So like literally be all in because it changes the way that reality happens. You can be all in in a shitty day job and transform that day job within tutor six weeks either into another job. Or into suddenly being like the most seen and respected person that that shitty day job, like whatever it is, but if you're all in today and you don't look for reasons that are like nah, I mean, I wish but it's not really what I need to do and I wish I could do this other thing like that's not being all in that's that's finding excuses not to show up in this real life, but better isn't he great. This is why I this is I mean blessed blessed to know you but see friends. Thank you, Sam.

Yes, so well breathe in in three parts into our diaphragm into our lung into our Crown expand and then breathe out constructed. Okay. So let's breathe out first breathing into our belly. enjoy our lungs into our crown hold and breathe out. All the way out with your mouth or nose. Honestly, it doesn't matter. I usually breathe in with my nose and then breathe out with my mouth. Thank you breathing in with your nose into your belly and your chest. into your crown one two and breathe out slowing down the breath. And last one breathing in and adjust your crown.
