Our own worst criticGetting the right people around you. Finding like-minded people to, get you back on track. You're in a funk when you're playing less than when you're, believing the bullshit story in your head is absolutely vital. There is a spiritual component to this. I have our own connection to God or the universe or mother earth or whatever you want to call it that to me is a foundation, but on a practical level, it's connecting to people. So that to me is a big piece of surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals. But the other piece too, that, took me a long time is just love of self and we hear about this a lot and you’ll hear about it in maybe the millennial generation when they're like everything's okay. And an eighth place trophies and all that bullshit. But the sort of immature self-love aside, I'm talking about the deeper. A lot of us are so hard on ourselves. We are our own worst critic. And one of the things that came to me was why not love yourself as you love your neighbour? Some of us are so giving to everybody else. You have to shore up and take care of yourself and women, I think struggle a lot of this because their hearts are such, and they’re so giving in nature. But, that to me is paramount as we develop and mature. this self-love authenticity, thrown around and there's a difference between talking about it and doing it and then even doing it and then being it. And one of the lessons that I learned is that, self love doesn't look like rainbows and unicorns. Self-love looks like radical acceptance for me and honoring.Part of my life, the people that I chose to be around me, I chose unconsciously because I was wanting to win their approval, wanting to get that respect, wanting to get the traction if there was, wanting to, doing it in an unhealthy way. And so the conscious the piercing of the story and the subconscious direction that we sometimes get pulled into is so paramount because it allows us to choose intentionally. As now as I've become more self-aware and matured and. fallen down a few times and gotten back up. I choose people that I'm going to open up and invest time and energy with, on a deeper intimate level, because, because it is so key, those are the people that you do surround yourself, seed you, and feed you with ideas and, direction that in times can lead you if you're not careful with it.Trying to make myself fit into their box. Instead of realizing that the only box that I fit in is the one that I create. but because of the creative, add type mind that I have, it is very difficult for me to fit in very regimented boxes. I look at things instead of a day by day basis. am I moving every single day? That allows me to a little bit of that flexibility so I can ride my creative waves and energy without. Completely derailing myself and beating myself up for not hitting a certain target on a dayPiercing the storyThe idea of piercing the story is being aware that we have a running dialogue in our head. This is psychology 101. And I would love if the society, especially right now, God, especially during that, if we normalized, some fundamental psychological, principles, and one of them is just to understand where our beliefs come from. And so much of our why we do what we do is because of society. It's because of our parents. It's because of those influences, when we were young, when we were young and we were open to the world and had no idea how to do anything, and we were just, we were sponges taking all this stuff in. If we didn't get the absolute perfect model for how to live life with absolute perfect balanced with absolute maximum achievement, maximum optimization of self was did. If we didn't get that, then there's going to be times where we bump up against that internal story that we're telling ourselves. Looking at that and zooming out and realizing, that some of that may have been just simply because, it was what was shown to us. It was modelled to us without the conscious, sele
