Transcripts

good morning it is currently 9:15 in the

morning I uh woke up today at my

partner's place he lives about an hour

away from me so I have spent the morning

driving and I resisted the urge to get a

little treat for the road um because I

need to save money so I didn't do that

which was good um I am now home I have a

call with a company that potentially

wants to do a partnership at 10:00 a.m.

so I'm going to go in start getting

ready and it's going to be like a really

easy get ready today I'm not do anything

crazy hair is probably going to be in a

hat um those are the Vibes today and I'm

rolling with it right Obie Obie hello

hi so I'm going to be meeting a friend

later to be doing some work which means

I'm going to have a coffee cuz we're

going to a coffee shop so instead of

having a coffee this morning I'm

thinking I should probably have like a

decaf tea because caffeine makes

me you know this is where I get ready in

the morning it's currently a bit of a

mess but that is life

[Music]

this is very much goto work attire for

me because I find that when I wear

athletic clothing like spandex of some

sort I feel more motivated and then but

I also want to feel comfortable so a big

buttonup shirt tends to be the go-to for

over top

so is it stylish no but is it

comfortable yes set my workspace up

which means I brought my notebook a

water and I lit a candle in my office so

it's like The Vibes are good in there I

now need to do something productive to

get me motivated and feeling good but I

also need to eat and so I have to figure

out what my brain is willing to do for

food this

morning I realized I'm in the mood for

eggs eggs is a safe food for me which I

know is weird like a lot of people do

not want eggs as a safe food but I find

it way easier to process how I'm feeling

or what I want while I'm doing something

else and actively thinking about it

whereas if I were to just stand here and

think I'd find it really hard to

understand what it is that my brain

wants

so

eggs I went with birthday cake flavored

tea today make of that what you will but

it is

[Music]

delicious I have 10 minutes before my

meeting so what I like to do is I'll eat

and then I will prep for the meeting so

I'll look into the company a little bit

more to understand what we're talking

about I'll look over the briefing that

they sent and see if there's any

messages from my business manager that

need to inform me a little bit more

about what we're meeting

about okay meeting done went a little

bit over time and I was hoping to be

able to run to Best Buy to grab a laptop

charger but that is not going to happen

now that's fine uh so I just texed my

friend and asked if she could bring one

good meeting overall feeling all right

now I am headed to that coffee shop in

the next little bit what am I going to

do before then I'm going to

poop and I think that's it I'm going to

quickly change though because this

doesn't feel like a coffee shop

appropriate outfit um it is it doesn't

really matter but I'm going to wear

something else because this is a little

bit cool and it's so [ __ ] cold

outside that I need to be warmer um so

quick change and then go okay just got

here going to go in to meet my friend

but I changed into just a sweater that's

a little bit more comfortable more warm

uh I was doing a check-in with myself as

I was driving here I'm feeling a little

sad and I don't really 100% know why but

I'm feeling a little

sad and now it has expelled my body and

I feel

great

byebye okay I just got home I will say I

love doing those types of sessions with

friends or other people people online

even um it's essentially just body

doubling like I am being productive

because somebody else is um so I worked

on some program stuff that I wanted to

put out there I worked on some

sponsorship things and in the back end

doing some like Financial tracking and

planning which was good all tasks that I

just needed to get done and would have

been harder to do at home so it's nice

to do with somebody else there and it's

good to like catch up with a friend now

I'm going to run inside let Obie outside

give him a lot of love and some kisses

and I've got a call with my business

manager and then I am going on a program

I am running my unmasking program today

we only have two sessions left and it's

been going so well it's so cool to see

how much people have identified within

themselves and started to see like the

little peaks of who they really are um

having never known how to do that so

it's it's been the most fulfilling thing

so far going to run in get all of that

set up and go into my program well into

my call with my business manager and

then my

program

[Music]

hi guys just finished my business

manager call so many notes were taken I

feel like we're going in a really good

direction that I'm excited for feeling

amped up it's 15 minutes to my program I

like to start them at least 5 minutes

early so people can like come in and

chat for a bit so I'm going to very

quickly go give my dog some love feed

all of my animals and then jump on my

program originally I was thinking that I

was going to go to the gym today but

because I haven't had a ton of time with

Obie think I might instead just do a

really long walk that's what I'm

thinking we'll see if the vibe changes

and if I'm motivated enough to go to the

gym and walk Obie as well hello my baby

a rope the Rope your always

Dr it's time to get set up for a

[Music]

program I've been running this program

for a month now and I have to say out of

all the programs I've run this is

definitely my favorite and I'm finding

the most impactful the programs I've run

is are super impactful as well but this

one and I'm just hearing like life

changing work being done and it's so

cool

yeah just finished my session went

really really well I'm now just checking

the Discord to make sure that people are

feeling good I feel tired I feel a

little bit drained after that session

I'm not really sure why usually I feel

really hyped after a session but I think

today I'm feeling a little bit more

drained than usual which is good that

I'm just checking in with myself so I

think instead of going to the gym I'm

going to go for a really long walk with

my pup so I'm going to grab my

headphones I'm going to get into some

like really comfortable walking clothes

get my guy and we're going to go on a

nice long walk if I have the energy I

really should go to the store today and

get groceries cuz I don't really have a

ton that is the

plan so I try to walk Obie twice a day

so we're going to do a big walk now

let's see how he

[Music]

does today has been one of those days

that it's like go go go go go go no time

for anything other than what's on the

schedule and I realized I didn't eat

lunch it's a little after 4: now so the

last time I ate stairs last time I ate

was my breakfast so I need to prioritize

doing that the second I get

back okay it's now almost dark out went

for a pretty long nice walk with Obie

which was great I was kind of

weighing the pros and cons of either

ordering food going to the grocery store

or making do with what I have which is

very very little like even my lowest

energy foods I'm out of so I realized

like it's Monday to set me up for the

rest of the week I really should go to

the grocery store I'm going to the

grocery store which means that today has

been fast-paced a lot going on I haven't

really had time to like sit down and

just relax which is totally fine I think

that's fine for today cuz tonight I'm

going to be playing Minecraft with my

partner and so I'm going to have a lot

of time to just chill and

relax so I did get over stimulated right

away I forgot to bring a quarter I felt

awkward asking somebody for a quarter so

I just used a small shopping thing cart

buggy which meant I couldn't get

everything that I wanted to get but

that's okay it's a win and I'm an

intuitive eater and as I was walking

around I was like I want

tacos I got stuff for tacos excited

about that it's a talko night woo I have

placed all of my groceries on the

counter I open the chips cuz I'm hungry

now I'm going to cook my meat I'm not

actually going to film this portion

because I I I like to watch videos while

I make food I used to use my cooking

time as like a Solitude practice of

being alone on days like today where it

was go go go go go go go I like being

able to turn my brain off for a little

bit and for me while I'm cooking I kind

of want to do that I don't really want

to sit in silence right now I kind of

want to just turn it off and there's

nothing wrong with it I've made tacos I

probably won't eat all four but I've

made some it's only 5:30 I might have

some later this evening uh tacos I've

also like tried to tidy up um so that I

didn't have to do it later doing it all

at once instead of later is a huge help

to me it's kind of become a rule now

that while I'm cooking I'm also cleaning

so that by the time I'm done there's

nothing else for me to do I am going to

go now enjoy and partake the devil's

lettuce which is something I'm trying to

to manage and not do too much of but I

feel the need to like unwind and that is

when I want to use it I don't want to be

using it as like an avoidance technique

if I'm feeling big feelings or I'm

struggling with something which is how I

used to use it so I just want to unwind

so I'm going to use it which is exciting

and then I'm going to go play some

Minecraft after I

[Music]

eat

[Music]
