Good morning, Beth. Good morning, Mel. How you doing?
Speaker:I'm okay, how are you? Good, thank you. Just back from my
Speaker:holidays. Did you have a nice time? Oh, it was
Speaker:amazing. I just love being
Speaker:somewhere different and I love the sunshine. Yeah, it does help just
Speaker:being in a different environment. And I love that feeling of being able to
Speaker:completely switch off, forget your other life, your
Speaker:normal life, and just do family stuff and
Speaker:just enjoy things and see things that you've not seen before. Maybe
Speaker:so. Yeah. And I loved how
Speaker:when you went on your break, that coincided with the episode that came out as
Speaker:well. I thought that was really serendipity, but of course that was going to happen,
Speaker:wasn't it? Obviously. Obviously. Maybe if we talk about holidays again, we'll both go on
Speaker:holiday in a month. Maybe. That would be nice. Let's talk about
Speaker:holidays. So what's been going on in your world?
Speaker:It's been a bit of a less business and more
Speaker:family stuff for the last week, although I have
Speaker:had business stuff going on. My cart closed on my membership last
Speaker:Friday, but there were a number of days consecutively
Speaker:where family needed me and so I had to step
Speaker:back. And nobody tells you that when your daughters or your children
Speaker:go off to university that then your parents start calling you for all of their
Speaker:woes and challenges. So my
Speaker:weekend? Yeah, I'm free now. Oh, no, you're not. Can you help me with this
Speaker:email? Can you help me with this attachment? Yes. Okay. So, yeah,
Speaker:just been helping family and it's been
Speaker:quite nice actually to step back and just be with family.
Speaker:So that's what's been going on for me, really. I got my new sofa. My
Speaker:sofa has arrived. Yeah. So cozy.
Speaker:So, yeah, nothing too exciting. Just life. Just life
Speaker:happening, going with the flow. Interesting, isn't it, as a business
Speaker:owner, how we.
Speaker:I don't know, I think that some people can have this
Speaker:assumption, like maybe parents who are like, oh, they're not doing anything, they're just
Speaker:sitting at home. I'm pretty sure that some people think that all
Speaker:I do is sit here and chat on my laptop and that's
Speaker:what pays my bills. But it's interesting, isn't it, if we're business
Speaker:owners finding that balance between family, working
Speaker:on the business, doing our, like the
Speaker:extra things that come with the business, doing our clients, doing all the
Speaker:things, and really getting that
Speaker:equilibrium between everything. Yeah, it's,
Speaker:I'm not sure it's always that easy. I'm grateful every day
Speaker:that I have designed my life to be able
Speaker:to kids and drop them off in the morning
Speaker:and do my work in between and go to yoga and.
Speaker:But then sometimes things happen, don't they? Like, my eldest isn't feeling great
Speaker:today. He's gone into school. But to have that, oh, do
Speaker:you know what? I'll be at home, so it's fine. It just gives such a
Speaker:sense of relief. I think it really does. But also, I
Speaker:think it sometimes is easier than I think we think. It
Speaker:might be like the world doesn't need to
Speaker:fall down just because you're not in the business all of a sudden
Speaker:that you're tending to the family. I think. I don't know. I feel like everything
Speaker:happens when it's supposed to happen, and therefore, if it's supposed to be family time,
Speaker:it's supposed to be family time. The business isn't going to stop.
Speaker:But I think it takes a while to come to that realization, or to feel
Speaker:comfortable in that realization that it's okay to step back. And we've talked about
Speaker:stopping before, haven't we? But I think
Speaker:it's. I suppose the longer I'm in my
Speaker:business journey, the more evidence I'm
Speaker:seeing that it's okay when we're not hustling,
Speaker:we can still make money while we're tending to family.
Speaker:Yeah. I think the stress. I remember when I
Speaker:was in my corporate job of having to phone in and
Speaker:tell them that you're not feeling well. I left there before I had
Speaker:children, so I never had that. Also,
Speaker:when my kids ill or I can't come in because all the kids are on
Speaker:half term, and now I've got, like, it's so much stress and I
Speaker:wonder what effect it has on the way
Speaker:that we manage illness and when we're not feeling great and
Speaker:do we power through or do we take the time?
Speaker:Because when I used to phone in sick, it was like
Speaker:doomsday. Yeah. It didn't matter if I
Speaker:was dying, it felt like I was doing something wrong.
Speaker:But then you'd go in and you'd be like, coughing and spluttering. You'd see all
Speaker:the eyes rolling. For me, it just felt like there was.
Speaker:No, it's not ideal, is it? No.
Speaker:And the more ill you are, the more guilty. Or that at least how
Speaker:I felt anyway. If I was just like, had a little bit of a sniffle
Speaker:and I thought, I can't remember going into work today, then I would feel really
Speaker:guilty about that. But when I was really ill. Yeah. What's that all
Speaker:about? Yeah, I'm grateful and I appreciate the life that
Speaker:I've carved out for myself now and been able to have that flexibility
Speaker:to manage my own time. But like you said, what impact and what
Speaker:stresses is that having on our children, on family, on everything else,
Speaker:the scene, mum trying to, like our dad running on
Speaker:adrenaline, basically trying to get here and everywhere, what impact is that
Speaker:having? And this. Oh, they're such a trooper for coming in sick and then the
Speaker:rest of the office comes down ill and this disassociation from your
Speaker:body and the reward of being sick,
Speaker:I'm very aware of that with the kids that when they're not well
Speaker:and then you just want them to come be at home, you want to give
Speaker:them cuddles. Yeah. Watching tv, giving them their favorite snacks.
Speaker:And then it's, do you have to be really ill to do that? And what
Speaker:if you just don't want to go in one day? Is that okay? Because it's
Speaker:not, is it? In life, it's not okay. You can't just go, do you know
Speaker:what? I'm having a, I'm just, I want to stay
Speaker:in bed. Whereas now if I see that I've got
Speaker:a busy, because I have got a really busy month, probably two months
Speaker:ahead, yet still I'm like, I can see a gap in my
Speaker:diary and I would usually fill that gap in my diary,
Speaker:but I'm like, no, that gap is my downtime
Speaker:gap. And then if anything does happen, then at least I've got somewhere I can
Speaker:switch people into. And I think when we start a
Speaker:business, it can take a while to get out of that mindset of, well, I
Speaker:need to be working, I need to be hustling to five or
Speaker:whatever, nine till nine or whatever the
Speaker:reality is, and actually think about what am I
Speaker:doing? What is it that I want to achieve? Because I think a lot of
Speaker:business owners come into this to have some
Speaker:freedom if you're tied in and you can't take a duvet
Speaker:day. But I think it's because we model what
Speaker:we've seen in corporate. So if we're going at 100 miles an hour in
Speaker:corporate world, when we start our own business, we feel like, okay, there's only one
Speaker:of me. And so now I'm going to go, I have to go at 200
Speaker:miles an hour to fit everything in. Without thinking, do
Speaker:I need to fill every single space in my diary? Like, I freed
Speaker:up a lot of, I've got rid of a couple of clients that were not
Speaker:serving me anymore. I've actually created a lot of space in my diary
Speaker:and there's still that pang of guilt that
Speaker:this should be the new normal, this should feel good. This is what I wanted
Speaker:to do, right? So I could work on other things or use my time in
Speaker:different ways, but there's still that,
Speaker:am I doing enough? I don't even know when it leaves
Speaker:you. Like, I remember when it was like that panic. So we
Speaker:speak about this, I'd just be doing whatever, and I'd be
Speaker:like. Got a project that I need to get in what I'm
Speaker:doing. And then when I was working, I remember
Speaker:once my boss, we were talking about how
Speaker:committed I was, and my boss was like, but you don't come in on your
Speaker:days off. And I'm like, sometimes I do, and sometimes I did. If I had
Speaker:a car that I needed to hand over or a really good appointment,
Speaker:sometimes I would come in on my day off. And when I said that, he
Speaker:was like, that's very selfish. And I'm like, what if this is my
Speaker:day off, my one day off, and I was already working six days a week.
Speaker:So it's. Some weeks it was six days, some weeks it was seven
Speaker:days. And it's. I don't know what more. And you end. You're
Speaker:always a couple of minutes late. Yeah, but I'm staying. I finish
Speaker:at six. And I would often be there till 07:00
Speaker:and it became an expectation. And so then I started
Speaker:to see my day as well. At six till seven. I'm sorry, eight
Speaker:till seven. The I really is. We started talking about this was getting
Speaker:sick. Since I've left there, I just don't get sick as much, because
Speaker:what is sickness? This dis ease. It's your body telling you something's
Speaker:not right. And the more you ignore your body,
Speaker:the more. The louder it needs to shout in order for
Speaker:you to actually listen to it. Yeah.
Speaker:And that's exactly what happened to me. Like, I could
Speaker:have heard and named and called out that
Speaker:disease for years before then
Speaker:until, hello, now you're
Speaker:really not going to be able to go to work and then all of a
Speaker:sudden you have to stop. But it's not good
Speaker:having to get to that point. Yes, it makes
Speaker:you stop, and maybe that'll change the way that you approach life
Speaker:and work in the future. But it's not a great stop.
Speaker:It doesn't, does it? You know, I was listening to something really
Speaker:interesting this week, and they were talking about
Speaker:multiple personality disorders. I think that's called something else.
Speaker:And what they found is that people who,
Speaker:if I'm defining multiple personality disorder as you're literally
Speaker:switching consciousness. You are like Beth one day and
Speaker:your Billy the next day, right. And you have
Speaker:no recollection of each other. Really? Yeah. And there's
Speaker:people with this, and they've seen. The study was showing that
Speaker:there was somebody who was diagnosed with full
Speaker:blindness in one, in her, like, main.
Speaker:And then in one of the emerging personalities,
Speaker:they call them the altars. They were getting their
Speaker:eyesight back. Wow. And they've shown that
Speaker:allergies change. Blood pressure
Speaker:changes, the way the brain is wired up
Speaker:changes, literally, just from flipping into this
Speaker:personality. And so this got me thinking, in the rabbit hole
Speaker:of my brain, where does disease actually come from? Because
Speaker:if I'm having a different conscious experience, if I'm in an
Speaker:altered state, which is what that is in these cases,
Speaker:they're not brought on. They come on. They rarely have any
Speaker:control over it. But if I can have literal
Speaker:difference in responses in my body from one conscious to
Speaker:another, then how could the
Speaker:allergy or the blindness or the
Speaker:illness be stored in my body? Because if it was, then it didn't
Speaker:matter who I was. I'd always
Speaker:have those symptoms. And I've done, with my psychotherapy
Speaker:training, we've looked at doing things like tapping, like
Speaker:eft for allergies, and I've seen it work. And you
Speaker:think, we're not doing anything. I remember my
Speaker:middle son had allergies when he was younger,
Speaker:and I put him on a course of homeopathy.
Speaker:And these tiny little sugar pills, there's nothing in them
Speaker:apart from a frequency. And he started to get better. And some of the
Speaker:fears he had, this really bad fear of moving
Speaker:animals, anything that moved just went for a
Speaker:while. It came back after an incident, but I was like,
Speaker:what is going on? Where does that
Speaker:go? Where is it? When you're in that
Speaker:altered state, where has the pain? Where has the allergy? Where has it gone?
Speaker:And this is a neurological or a physical
Speaker:response or a hormonal response. It's a physical
Speaker:response. I eat this thing and I get a rash or I get
Speaker:swollen or whatever it is, or I have stomach
Speaker:cramps, but when I am in this altered state of
Speaker:consciousness, then I don't. And
Speaker:they were giving reference to Bruce Lipton, who I love. So,
Speaker:Bruce Lipton, he's done a lot of work on epigenetics and
Speaker:how things are turning on and off. The theory is that our
Speaker:cells, they don't, like, contain all of the information. They're actually
Speaker:receptors, and they're picking up and they're giving out
Speaker:this frequency, and then, depending on what we
Speaker:are tuned into, will depend on what turns on or off,
Speaker:which is the same as when we think about the law of attraction. It's the
Speaker:same as when we think about working with crystals, the same as when we think
Speaker:about working with Reiki. But what's so fascinating for me, it's
Speaker:this is physical, verifiable
Speaker:responses that just. There's no placebo
Speaker:there. No. So do you think it's the changing consciousness, like
Speaker:the frequency of the consciousness, like the variation of consciousness when you've got different
Speaker:personalities, that is changing. I wonder if it's the
Speaker:receptors. It's like an expectation. If I eat
Speaker:this, then this right
Speaker:now, that sounds very simplistic, because
Speaker:then you look at things that come down the gene lines. But it's not
Speaker:just based on random thought that you're having in the day. It's based on, if
Speaker:you like, the coding of what we are holding
Speaker:in ourselves. And we might be holding an
Speaker:ancestral belief that this always
Speaker:happens to me, or that this situation is scary,
Speaker:or that I'm not safe, or that whatever it is. And
Speaker:so our cells are, like, tuned into these different. They're
Speaker:transmitting a different frequency, which is then pulling
Speaker:something different in. And if this theory is right, then
Speaker:it means that all we need to do, we don't really need to change anything
Speaker:on the physical. All we need to do is look at recoding what's
Speaker:going on in that. In that cell, in that frequency of that cell.
Speaker:And then who knows whether it's the holiday that we're
Speaker:all going to be going on in a month when it was, or the
Speaker:spontaneous remission of some illness
Speaker:that we've had that could be chronic. And you hear about it. What is going
Speaker:on when you hear about these spontaneous miracles?
Speaker:Something. Yeah. There's so much there for
Speaker:science because it already exists. I used to get so wound up at
Speaker:school about science because everything already exists. It's just science is
Speaker:just the ability to explain that. And that isn't fully
Speaker:explainable right now. We've got nuggets of it and the whole quantum physics
Speaker:thing. When consciously looking at something, it changed the what
Speaker:happens. But even when we're not looking at it, but it's been recorded, the
Speaker:atom still, it's fascinating. And yet we don't know yet enough
Speaker:about how all of that happens. But I feel like the clues and the
Speaker:answers lie in consciousness. And
Speaker:I think somebody will figure it out. I wonder. I think people have
Speaker:figured it out. We just don't know about it. Yet I think it's not mainstream
Speaker:enough or it's almost like you need scientists who are willing
Speaker:to enough scientists
Speaker:to want to merge science and spirituality more.
Speaker:And I feel at the minute the two, obviously there is scientists who are spiritual
Speaker:in nature as well, but there's not enough of them. And it's not mainstream and
Speaker:it's not in the education system and it's not in universities. It's
Speaker:just not palatable, I don't think, for most people. So I think it's
Speaker:gonna mean more time. And I think we're heading
Speaker:towards that. I think in this technological age where we do
Speaker:have, we can discover, like when, when we were kids, if we
Speaker:wanted to find out something, we had to go and look in the encyclopedia
Speaker:or in the library. So we were looking at what was
Speaker:happening whenever you spent all that money. I don't remember
Speaker:this come out, come by our encyclopedias, however long
Speaker:ago that is. And now I think if we have the
Speaker:curiosity to start to look at
Speaker:alternate theories, because it's all just theories, even
Speaker:Darwin's theory of evolution. It's a theory
Speaker:and it's been questioned and
Speaker:debunked, in fact, in various circles. But
Speaker:could you imagine changing all of that? Like the implications of
Speaker:going, you know what, guys, the whole of the population,
Speaker:you have this consciousness, and that is the key to your wealth
Speaker:and your power and your happiness and your
Speaker:relationships and your manifesting
Speaker:abilities and even the energy that you
Speaker:consume and all the things could you imagine? It'll
Speaker:be great for us, but maybe not great for everyone. I think
Speaker:that there's always the power structures in society. And I think
Speaker:the moment something like that becomes more mainstream,
Speaker:the more somebody is going to want to have power and
Speaker:monopoly over that. And it's, can they have? Because it just is, right? It
Speaker:just is. But somebody will want to have power over that.
Speaker:I'm going to make a prediction. I don't know how far in the future, but
Speaker:I feel that maybe actually artificial intelligence or
Speaker:some form of that is going to be the
Speaker:thing that allows it to be pinned on that, if that makes sense. So
Speaker:rather than it being a human being making this discovery, even though it probably
Speaker:is going to be a human being that makes the discovery, it's going to be
Speaker:more palatable for society and the populations
Speaker:to believe that this has come from an
Speaker:artificial intelligent source, that's going to be
Speaker:more palatable because people are starting to understand AI a little bit more and use
Speaker:it in there every day. Why could it not? And so if anything goes
Speaker:wrong, then also you've got the scapegoat of
Speaker:the artificial intelligence or whatever it is called, 20, 30, 40
Speaker:years down the line or maybe further than that. Interesting topic,
Speaker:but yeah, interesting topic. It has to come.
Speaker:Or does it with any of this, with manifesting law of attraction
Speaker:and quantum physics. It's almost like it's there. You can
Speaker:see it, there's elements of understanding, but then it's not fully
Speaker:formed. And I'm wondering whether that's the universe as the way that it wants it
Speaker:to be. Like it wants it to be a mystery. Because what
Speaker:happens after that? If we're all in the search for enlightenment and
Speaker:awakening, if we're all trying to figure out where we are, I'm not saying we
Speaker:all are doing that, but there's this thing that's always pulling us and driving us
Speaker:that we're on this journey that we want to better understand ourselves. If we fully,
Speaker:all of a sudden understood ourselves, what is the purpose of
Speaker:life? I know that sounds really profound, but if we knew that, if we knew
Speaker:what the answer was, if we knew how to do it, if we knew how
Speaker:to figure it out, do you understand what I'm saying? I do, but that's the
Speaker:journey. I think that where we are now in 2024,
Speaker:that is a long way off for various reasons, because
Speaker:it isn't as simple as, oh, okay, so my consciousness means that
Speaker:I can flip this disease off. Like, I literally just need to change my
Speaker:mind, and then it's gone. Because there's
Speaker:nuances and there's deep held beliefs and there's
Speaker:power structures and there's availability. And we started
Speaker:this conversation talking about working and time and family. You do not have
Speaker:time to just go and sit on top of a mountain
Speaker:receiving divine guidance and actioning that all day long.
Speaker:That's not how most of us are living.
Speaker:And so can AI help with that?
Speaker:Possibly because it can. Just like a crystal, the crystal gives
Speaker:a consistent frequency that sits out. So
Speaker:maybe it will be crystal technology that helps with this.
Speaker:Maybe. Who knows if we can really work with them
Speaker:effectively? Whereas we are
Speaker:inconsistent. That's
Speaker:true. We are constantly fluctuating in every moment. And it is.
Speaker:If it was as easy as change your mind, change your life.
Speaker:Yeah, you're right, because we've got the keys to this tick box exerciser,
Speaker:to everything. Like, you can become a millionaire in 60 steps, but yet still
Speaker:people go around the houses trying to get, there's models that we can model, there's
Speaker:entrepreneurs who can follow, there's whatever. But yet people don't do that, that they follow
Speaker:their own path. Right. Because we've got a
Speaker:whole load of other stuff that we're going. It's not all about
Speaker:being rich or learning this skill or having
Speaker:the perfect family. Like, it's not all about that. I think that our purpose here
Speaker:is about discovery and we, I think getting to
Speaker:that point of we can choose what we take as truth.
Speaker:Yeah. Can research. We don't just have to believe what we're
Speaker:told anymore. There's so much information and with
Speaker:the Internet, we've got these global tribes springing up going,
Speaker:okay, I'm willing to explore that. And then
Speaker:if, like me, I was like, oh, look at this, I can create my
Speaker:own reality. This is amazing. And had some
Speaker:mind blowing experiences, but it's not consistent.
Speaker:Why? Because I've been a human for however many
Speaker:centuries. Like this life. But I've been a human for however many
Speaker:centuries. Yeah. My ancestry and my community and my
Speaker:physical beliefs and time constraints and all of these
Speaker:things don't. Okay, maybe I don't prioritize
Speaker:that because I have other
Speaker:things and it's quite hard to change your mind, which is where the healing
Speaker:work comes in. It's not about becoming better, it's
Speaker:not about fixing what's broken. It's about
Speaker:redeciding what is
Speaker:true. And when you do that, then miracles
Speaker:happen. Well, watch this space. I
Speaker:think it's way off. I think it's way off and I think we
Speaker:are where we are. I think it's way off for the general population, but I
Speaker:think it is actually becoming very accessible for
Speaker:and whatever that means for you, I look at how I've
Speaker:designed my life and whilst, no, it's not all fairies and
Speaker:rainbows and there's still challenges and there's still things that you need to do and
Speaker:there's still headaches and there's still things happening.
Speaker:But generally, I think, goodness me, like where I was
Speaker:1015 years ago and what I believe. And so
Speaker:therefore, how my body, like my body is completely different in how I
Speaker:feel and how I move, in, what I eat, in
Speaker:how I present, my mind's completely different. My energy is
Speaker:completely different. And that has to start with this
Speaker:curiosity of maybe there's something else and
Speaker:this drive to actually start to
Speaker:break down some of those neural pathways,
Speaker:those pathways that are really quite solid.
Speaker:How is this actionable? Like, how do we. If this
Speaker:is true, how do we start this conversation?
Speaker:Different personalities can have different
Speaker:physical responses. For me, the first step is
Speaker:going, okay, maybe that's true because that is not what we've been taught.
Speaker:That's not what we've been taught. And if you say that to people,
Speaker:most probably not our listeners, if you say that to people, they'll be
Speaker:like, no, that's not true. So I'm not
Speaker:saying this is an absolute, but I'm willing to open
Speaker:into that inquiry of, if it's true, then what does it
Speaker:mean? If it's true, then what does it mean? If I
Speaker:assume that every illness dis
Speaker:ease challenge is coming somehow
Speaker:from something that I believe to be true
Speaker:or something that I'm saying to myself or an unconscious
Speaker:habit, then surely my job is to become
Speaker:more conscious of what is going on in the
Speaker:background. Yeah. So, for example, I was speaking to
Speaker:somebody who. She got this tummy issue,
Speaker:and when we were
Speaker:talking, some of the language she was using was,
Speaker:oh, I don't give her, or I don't want to lose
Speaker:my. And I'm like, can you hear what you're saying
Speaker:that you're literally saying to my body,
Speaker:or, I don't need that in
Speaker:the space of a ten minute conversation? I probably heard a variation of
Speaker:that sentence ten times.
Speaker:And it's, maybe you should give up. And if you
Speaker:do, then what? Like, how is your body responding to that? What is
Speaker:it saying? What is it taking on? Oh, okay. That means I need to hold
Speaker:on to this because it's not even worth my time to
Speaker:expel it from my body. And so you hold on to it.
Speaker:Right. And that causes all sorts of issues.
Speaker:And so, for me, it's that first. The first
Speaker:step is, what am I telling myself
Speaker:every day? And I don't think people
Speaker:one do we give ourselves the space and time to do that? Often
Speaker:we're so in and amongst the trees that we don't actually realize what it is
Speaker:that we're saying and what we're thinking all of the time. But also,
Speaker:are we recognizing or have we created time to
Speaker:think about what it is that we do actually want? Because when we know what
Speaker:we don't want, we know what we do want, and it comes back to the
Speaker:whole identity. What identity do you want to
Speaker:assume? And how are the words and the thoughts and the actions that
Speaker:I'm doing every single day in alignment or not
Speaker:in alignment with this identity that I want to have? Because people say, I want
Speaker:to be a rock star, I want to be a millionaire, I want to be
Speaker:a lottery winner. But actually, what are you doing on a day to day basis
Speaker:that is in alignment with that desire, because for a lot of
Speaker:us as human beings, we're doing the opposite of
Speaker:what we actually want to do. Not all the time. There's a lot of the
Speaker:things that are in opposite to the thing that we desire that we want to
Speaker:bring forth. Exactly. And it comes out in our
Speaker:language and in the way that we often project things
Speaker:out in the world. What are we watching on tv? What are we reading? What
Speaker:books are we, what podcasts are we listening to?
Speaker:Where are we spending our time and our energy?
Speaker:And assuming that these little cells in
Speaker:our body are constantly transmitting and receiving
Speaker:something, and assuming that's the key just for this
Speaker:conversation, let's just assume that's true. Doesn't it make the
Speaker:most sense to put that at the forefront of everything?
Speaker:If I'm, I don't know, watching something
Speaker:heavy or traumatic, how is my cell? My cell doesn't
Speaker:know that's just on tv or that's somebody else. My cell is going, oh, my
Speaker:God, heavy and traumatic, and it's putting that
Speaker:frequency in. Now, I'm not saying that if you watch something on tv
Speaker:that it's going to happen to you in that space, but then it starts to
Speaker:create a physiology. If you want to
Speaker:be at peace most of the time, if that's your goal,
Speaker:then what are you doing and cultivating that will inform
Speaker:the cells peace is possible? And when you
Speaker:find yourself, that's step one. When you find yourself out of
Speaker:alignment with that, when you find yourself holding your breath
Speaker:or throwing out the judgment on somebody else or
Speaker:giving yourself pressure, that
Speaker:is, you know, like making a mountain out of a molehill kind of
Speaker:energy, then what you're doing is incongruent with that. And then
Speaker:the cell doesn't go, oh, we won't think about that one
Speaker:because that's not what she really wants. It's all of it.
Speaker:It always comes back. Every time I have these conversations, it always comes
Speaker:back to the same thing. And it's know thyself every time.
Speaker:Yeah. It's catching yourself and know what those
Speaker:beliefs that underpin that are. And are you willing to do the work and the
Speaker:healing to move through and past that?
Speaker:Because it's fun in the comfort zone doing what
Speaker:we've always done. It's easy, right? But it's not necessarily
Speaker:joy, happiness. It isn't necessarily joy happiness. And if you
Speaker:think about this literally on this, okay, so myself, oh,
Speaker:cool. We've survived. We've survived. This is what's going on. This
Speaker:is what we do. This is what we eat. This is what we say, this
Speaker:is what we watch, is how we relax, is how we move. Okay, we've survived
Speaker:this long. Well done, us. Let's keep more of that. And then as soon as
Speaker:we have this idea, like, I am gonna go and start a
Speaker:huge exercise regime, because my body is my temple
Speaker:and I love it. And then all these parts of you, your
Speaker:cells going, I'm not sure. Possible. And then all
Speaker:these parts of you start piping up going, oh, we don't want to do
Speaker:that. That's not going to be. Have you thought,
Speaker:what if go and eat the doughnut instead? And we like, come on,
Speaker:we've all experienced that, but it's, I
Speaker:don't know. You keep coming back to, what do I want to
Speaker:program in? What am I coding into me? Because
Speaker:your actions thing that
Speaker:are giving the biggest code blocks. Our
Speaker:thoughts are smaller, our emotions bigger than the
Speaker:thoughts, but it's our actions. We can move things, change
Speaker:things at any point along that scale. Our actions, our
Speaker:emotions, our thoughts, our energy. But the key
Speaker:is to think of it not as, I'll do this once, but as a recoding,
Speaker:because then become easier. Yeah. Creating a new
Speaker:habit, a new mantra, a new way, doing things, a new belief.
Speaker:Different, a new belief. I've just started
Speaker:to listen to. So I used to love listening to podcasts when I was in
Speaker:corporate, because that was my way
Speaker:out of it, was that mind numbing, but also
Speaker:knowledge giving part that I was
Speaker:craving, and that I wanted to help me move through the space that I was
Speaker:in. And so I've started listening to more podcasts, obviously, because we are
Speaker:podcasters, so we started to listen to more podcasters, but also I've
Speaker:started to listen to just books,
Speaker:stories, which I haven't done for a long time, I used to do
Speaker:a long time ago, but I haven't. And I feel like just doing that as
Speaker:a new habit when I'm washing up, when I'm cooking, when I'm shopping, that kind
Speaker:of thing is allowing the brain cells to
Speaker:fire in different ways, because you are, you're not listening
Speaker:for knowledge or wisdom or betterment of yourself, but you're
Speaker:listening just, you don't know what the story is going to be, you
Speaker:don't know what's going to unfold. And so you create an imagery, and just being
Speaker:creative in your own mind and starting to develop those muscles
Speaker:again, for me, has been like a real great way
Speaker:to change the habit that we find ourselves in on the day to day.
Speaker:Instead of going to the shop to buy a bar of chocolate or ever
Speaker:it is. Or doing something that is not, we like to do, but it's
Speaker:not really changing our life. So just, I think choosing something
Speaker:really subtle and easy and flowy,
Speaker:like listening to a story or
Speaker:doing some knitting or something that takes us to a place in our mind
Speaker:that isn't about trying to find
Speaker:or figure out something, but it's just about reconnecting
Speaker:to imagination is quite a powerful thing. And it's
Speaker:almost like it's easy because you don't have to do anything. You're just literally listening,
Speaker:letting your brain do its thing. But all the while I feel there's a
Speaker:rewiring of changing a habit and changing the
Speaker:narrative of what is going on a day to day basis.
Speaker:So maybe start with choosing something that you love to do
Speaker:that you haven't done for a while. That is easy. That is not. That's easy
Speaker:that you enjoy. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny, I've been, I've
Speaker:started taking my headphones when I go for my
Speaker:morning walks. And listening, actually, I'm the opposite.
Speaker:So I'm listening to books about
Speaker:psychology and spirituality and things because
Speaker:I spent so long only reading. I would only read,
Speaker:spend reading time if it was for the betterment of my knowledge. Right.
Speaker:And my understanding and my bookshelves are all, may
Speaker:have many a hay house book. In fact, so much so that once
Speaker:I, they emailed me and offered me some
Speaker:affiliate program because I had that much stuff from them
Speaker:that's died down now. So when I'm on these walks, I'm listening
Speaker:to something that I find very interesting. That's
Speaker:not necessarily, it might feed into my work, but it might
Speaker:not. And then I've bought, I committed,
Speaker:I bought the eight books of outlander.
Speaker:They are like 900 pages. Yeah. And I've
Speaker:nearly finished the second one now. And I am enjoying it like I
Speaker:am, like in that world. Yeah. And actually you say about these new
Speaker:neural pathways, it's giving me another point
Speaker:of view because I spend so long in my head only hearing my
Speaker:point of view, only hearing my regular.
Speaker:If you think about how many thoughts we have in a day, most of them
Speaker:are repeated, most of them are some whatever.
Speaker:And actually this is taking me out. It's like way easier than meditation, isn't it?
Speaker:It's taking me out of that and giving this a
Speaker:different point of view, but also firing up my
Speaker:relaxation, although some of it relaxing, to be honest. But my
Speaker:relaxation, my sense of enjoyment, my me time, like all of these
Speaker:things are literally saying to myself, okay. This is important for
Speaker:her now and then. How might that manifest in other
Speaker:ways? If it's enjoyment, words, relaxation, peace, different points of
Speaker:view. That's what I'm coding into me then. What a
Speaker:lovely way to do it. Yeah. I love that.
Speaker:I love that you've got your books and I've got
Speaker:my audiobooks to do that. And maybe we'll be
Speaker:holiday in Scotland Highlands.
Speaker:I love outlanders. I remember Sam Hewen,
Speaker:who plays Jamie, would put on this competition that he would
Speaker:take you around the. Oh, yes. And I was like, I
Speaker:know I didn't win it.
Speaker:And I got an email or, like, an Instagram message from
Speaker:someone going, hi, I'm a representation of. I
Speaker:commented on his thing. Yeah. Representative of Sam Hug.
Speaker:And I'm like, I know that this is a scam, but maybe this is, like,
Speaker:step one, this manifestation that
Speaker:one day I'd be equally. To be honest, I would
Speaker:be equally as happy to go with Jamie or Claire
Speaker:for the. I love that program. I know. It's brilliant, isn't it?
Speaker:Yeah. Even though it's quite
Speaker:dark and deep and a bit traumatic
Speaker:at times, it. Must have been very trauma. All of history that we've
Speaker:been through as human beings, incredibly traumatic times that we've all
Speaker:taken in our cellular bodies and that
Speaker:we are dealing with today. And we're probably not
Speaker:realizing most of the time that we are that ancestral
Speaker:DNA and all of that. Actually, we're quite blessed to be living in
Speaker:2024, right? We are. And sometimes when we look
Speaker:at history, it can remind us, or if we
Speaker:look at things that aren't wonderful, it can remind us.
Speaker:But the key is I'm getting conspiratorial again. But
Speaker:the expectation is you look at these things and you feel shame and
Speaker:guilt. How many of us? Oh, I can't be so happy
Speaker:when there's war going on or when there's all these things.
Speaker:But I remember my grandma saying to me once, I
Speaker:said, you can never be sad enough to make somebody happy.
Speaker:And I was, yeah, because I took it on as a kid. You can never
Speaker:be sad enough to make someone happy. And actually, when I
Speaker:was once in the Akashic records and I was
Speaker:contemplating this, who am I to live the life of my
Speaker:dreams when there's people who don't have it? And why do
Speaker:bad things happen to good people? And all the big questions, and they gave
Speaker:me a really simple visual, and
Speaker:it was just like, if you imagine a
Speaker:sphere, and in each of the spheres, there's candles,
Speaker:and each of those candles is a human. Some people have
Speaker:these really bright flames, and some people have these really dull flames. But
Speaker:those of us who can have a bright flame, who have the
Speaker:privilege and the circumstances and the thing, all the
Speaker:things, if we can dial up that
Speaker:flame, then actually it lights up the whole world. And it gives those who
Speaker:are unable to light their own, first of all, more chance
Speaker:of finding a spark, but also being able to see in the
Speaker:dark. I love that. That's a nice way of thinking about it.
Speaker:Yeah. We need to shine our light so that we can let other people
Speaker:shine theirs. Catch fire. Catch the
Speaker:spark. Love that. Another wonderful
Speaker:episode. What was it? Holidays and
Speaker:quantum physics. Quantum physics. Cellular memory.
Speaker:Consciousness. An outlander. An
Speaker:outlander. Jamie Fraser. You're looking a bit. Is it bree?
Speaker:The daughter? You're looking a bit brie today, with your red hair and your green
Speaker:top and your. Your tartan. Well, it's not tartan, but
Speaker:surely. I've got a green top. Says earth mama on
Speaker:it. You like Brie? I did. I know. I've taken it off. I did
Speaker:have my red scarf as well. There we go. You
Speaker:see? What you read and what you consume, you become.
Speaker:I just need to work my way up to Claire.
