Hi friends, I have a whole new

0:02

approach to self-love and loving yourself and

0:05

I need to share it with you. And this is

0:07

basically how to never question your worth or

0:09

your value again, regardless of how other

0:11

people treat you. My old podcast

0:13

episode, episode 18, was about self-love and my kind

0:16

of 12 steps journey to it. And in that

0:18

episode I talked about how self-love is not just

0:20

the feeling that pops out of your ass, like

0:22

you have it or you don't. It's something you

0:25

can work toward and something you kind of have

0:27

to work toward. And this new

0:30

way of looking at it is the

0:32

best approach I've found this far. And

0:35

this new perspective I unlocked on it is

0:37

the best thing I've found. So I'm going

0:39

to tell you exactly how I repaired my

0:41

relationship to myself and this whole thing. But

0:43

I have to tell you first, I'm going

0:46

back on tour. If you're watching this episode

0:48

I'm doing and I'm going everywhere all over the

0:59

US. So a lot of you got mad that

1:01

I didn't come to your city or come to

1:03

a city near you. But this time

1:05

I'm coming all over. I just had to

1:07

1:28

that. I am going to be talking about competence for

1:31

the most part, but it's going

1:33

to be 10 times deeper than I

1:36

did before. The things I've learned over the

1:38

past few months and the perspectives I've cracked.

1:40

I cracked a big one recently about resentment

1:42

and I'm probably going to do a podcast

1:44

episode about it soon. But everything

1:47

I'm going to talk about on this next tour

1:50

is going to be at a level. I

1:53

didn't even know existed till I hit it. I

1:55

am so goddamn excited. I can't I'm trying to

1:57

keep it together and contain myself, but I'm so

1:59

excited. The So if you wanted to get

2:01

the links on the description, the last mates

2:04

were sold out. So I warn you if

2:06

you don't get a ticket. sorry don't come

2:08

screaming at me later. Okay, now let's get

2:10

into the new mental frame around South. Love.

2:13

This. Is the perspective that's going to help

2:15

you never question yourself again because I just

2:17

went through a period of that of feeling

2:19

on appreciated by people and feeling like my

2:21

value was not seen and I started to

2:23

question it. Were. Done with that whenever doing

2:25

that again. So. This is the way to

2:27

experience the love that you give other people

2:29

into completely flip your relationship the yourself. I

2:31

want you to think about the person that

2:33

you love most. Most. People, it's

2:36

going to be in a relationship and I kind

2:38

of took us into a relationship standpoint. Think about

2:40

someone you're dating. Or. Do you

2:42

like perfect person you can imagine to date

2:44

or does you someone you love a lot

2:46

like your parent or your kid or whoever?

2:48

Imagine you switched bodies for a day. And.

2:51

You are responsible for taking care of this

2:53

person that you love so much. you just

2:55

got to be in their body for a

2:58

day now. How would you take care. Of.

3:00

That body. How would you

3:03

take care of the emotions that come up?

3:05

And how would you take care of the

3:07

mind that's inside that body of the person

3:09

that you love the most. This. Questions

3:11

going to reveal everything that needs to

3:13

change in your approach to yourself and

3:15

I made a full list of everything

3:17

that I would do and how I

3:19

would treat. The. Person that I love

3:21

the most: someone are running through my less

3:23

and give you actual like a clickable daily

3:25

steps and things you can implement. Makers very

3:27

practical but if you want to make your

3:30

own list, make your own list because when

3:32

you see how you would treat the person

3:34

you love the most of you were inside

3:36

their body and dealing with their emotions and

3:38

their feelings you'll be able to see how

3:40

you treat yourself. Is. Not like

3:42

someone you love. The. First

3:44

thing I want to point out before Zumba know

3:47

my list is when you just think about being

3:49

in the person's physical body when it's someone you

3:51

love, you're going to take care of that body

3:53

and cherish it during a take care of it

3:55

like something that each Eris So that's gonna go

3:57

and reveal a lot about how you currently treat

3:59

your. The bullets someone to my list

4:01

about the deeper things like the emotional

4:04

stuff, the mental stuff. So first thing

4:06

on my list when I care about

4:08

somebody, I'm not afraid to hurt other

4:11

people's feelings for the person I love.

4:13

What I prioritize them when I care

4:15

more about is that the person that

4:17

I love is okay and comfortable and

4:20

they're taking care of. their feelings or

4:22

top of consideration for meet other people

4:24

are still considered but the person I

4:26

love comes over it. I don't really

4:29

worry about that, Being an inconvenience to

4:31

other people like for me to put my

4:33

effort and focus and attention to them into

4:35

loving them and make us are there are

4:38

right. I don't really care from an inconvenience.

4:40

it doesn't matter to me. and I'm not

4:42

talking about things always having animosity and things

4:44

being angry and aggressive in mean of course.

4:47

I mean stand up for them and protect

4:49

them like stand up years of protect yourself

4:51

like you would someone you love been on

4:53

Zoc in the little things. When you're in

4:56

your head and you're worried about how doing

4:58

any little thing might piss somebody off. Or

5:00

make them mad at you like the whole

5:02

rigid and like the fear and like worry

5:04

to take a step to make yourself feel

5:06

better. When it comes to someone you love,

5:08

you don't have that. You feel free to

5:10

step up and take care of the person

5:13

that you love and you're never going to

5:15

realize how special that is and how much

5:17

as appreciated. and so you start doing it

5:19

for yourself. You're allowed to be a bother.

5:21

To other people.so in yourself that you

5:23

love yourself. I don't mean enda drastic

5:26

extent. I'm saying. Any little thing you're

5:28

worried about doing that might inconvenience somebody.

5:30

If it's to make you feel better,

5:33

so be it. Do it. Beer, own

5:35

advocate. Speak up for yourself like you

5:37

would someone you love. Even if it's

5:39

a small as leaving somewhere you're uncomfortable.

5:42

Don't force yourself to stay somewhere if

5:44

you don't like it and you're uncomfortable.

5:46

their of you know have to stay.

5:49

Let. Yourself go if other people are going

5:51

to get disappointed, are upset. Okay,

5:53

If someone you love was uncomfortable at

5:55

a party or at an event or

5:57

something that you're at. If. They were

6:00

on comfortable and wanted to leave. Would you

6:02

tell them to shut up know so and

6:04

so's gonna get mad We're going to stay

6:06

here know you would take what they wanted,

6:08

him what they fell into consideration and make

6:10

that importance and you would get them out

6:12

of their you would leave with them and

6:14

make sure they're okay because you wouldn't want

6:16

to force them as they some whether uncomfortable

6:18

take that same approach to yourself. and if

6:20

you need to disappoint people so be it.

6:23

It's not a hateful thing, is not a

6:25

mad saying, it's just no longer hindering yourself

6:27

because you're so scared of being a bother.

6:29

An example of. Use before as like when

6:31

you're on the airplane and gotta pee

6:33

and you're on inside seat. A lot

6:35

of people myself included. I used to

6:37

be so insecure and worried to inconvenience

6:39

and bother the person next to me

6:41

because I had to be. I would

6:43

literally force myself to sit there and

6:45

go to a point where I was

6:47

in pain just so I didn't voice

6:49

to the person hey, Can. You

6:51

get up so I can go pee.

6:53

Not letting yourself suffer for little shit

6:56

like that. Is huge and you're never

6:58

going to feel safe with yourself and so

7:00

you start to speak up for yourself an

7:02

advocate for yourself. but I wanted to bring

7:04

up flipping it like someone you care about

7:06

would you for someone you love to. Sit.

7:08

There Would you tell them to sit there and shut

7:11

up and don't be an inconvenience? Or would you say

7:13

that's not too much to ask at all? Asked them

7:15

to get up and go piss. What you would do

7:17

for the person you love is the approach you need

7:19

to take. That's how you can come to check if

7:21

you're being unreasonable. The next thing on my list. Is.

7:24

You know, when you're dating somebody, you'd sex

7:26

them throughout the day and check on them

7:28

and you're just always wondering what they're doing,

7:30

what they're up to. Check on them because

7:33

you care. To. Yourself the same

7:35

way. Start checking on yourself, Don't text yourself. That's

7:37

kinda weird. But what I mean by this as

7:39

you have just a genuine curiosity of the person

7:42

that you're dating. You check in on them. You

7:44

want, know what they're doing, You wanna how they're

7:46

feeling? Start. Checking them with yourself like

7:48

that. Wonder. how you're doing checked

7:50

in with you and your internal world would

7:52

you feel and what do you think it

7:54

what's going on what see check in on

7:56

yourself the what you text and check on

7:59

someone you love And that just comes from

8:01

a genuine place of just wanting to know how

8:03

they're doing. And then watch how much more looked

8:06

after and cared for you feel

8:09

by yourself. And then tell me that's

8:11

not valuable. Next thing

8:13

on my list when it comes to someone that I love, I'm

8:15

willing to stop my day if

8:18

they're not all right. You need

8:20

to take that same approach to yourself.

8:22

You need to be willing to halt

8:24

what you're doing if you can. Don't

8:26

be too dramatic with it. But be

8:28

willing to halt your day. Like if

8:30

your person texts you and says they're

8:32

upset or they're really down or something's

8:34

bothering them, you halt what you're

8:36

doing to give them your attention and your

8:39

focus. When you feel down and you feel

8:41

upset, if you're willing to halt your day

8:43

for someone you love, you

8:45

need to make room and do that for

8:47

yourself also. And I do wanna clear up

8:49

something because a lot of people get too

8:51

extreme with this shit and they forget discipline.

8:54

So the way that I implement discipline with

8:56

this because you sometimes can't just stop your

8:58

day. But checking in

9:00

with yourself when you do feel something

9:03

off. Before you do something,

9:05

even if you're gonna do it, just checking

9:07

in and seeing how you're feeling and

9:10

noticing it. And then

9:12

choosing to do what you want it to

9:14

do anyways is different because you're taking an

9:16

action from a standpoint of being aware of

9:19

what's going on and being like, okay, I

9:21

feel this way. I'm still gonna do this

9:23

thing. Versus feeling something, not paying attention to

9:25

it, bulldozing it, avoiding it, closing your eyes

9:27

to it and just going for it anyway.

9:30

There might be something you need to take

9:32

into consideration with yourself and if there's something

9:34

you can do to make yourself feel better

9:36

about what you're about to do, check

9:39

in with yourself so that you know what to do.

9:41

This seems like such an easy concept, but

9:44

we forget about it. And that's something that tends

9:46

to slip my mind a lot when I'm really,

9:48

really busy. But since I've started

9:50

implementing all this, I feel brought back

9:52

to life. You

9:54

are the only person that's ever gonna be able to make

9:56

sure you're okay. And just checking in with

9:58

yourself and knowing what's going on. going on is

10:01

the best thing you can do. Just acknowledging

10:03

it, even if you're gonna still continue forward with what

10:05

you need to do. Just being aware of it, checking

10:08

in and looking after

10:10

yourself and just genuinely being concerned with

10:12

what's going on inside you, giving your

10:14

attention to it like you would for

10:17

someone you love that's not you, like

10:19

outside of you. Next thing we need

10:21

to talk about is when someone

10:23

you love is down on themselves or

10:25

they're second guessing themselves and they're kind

10:27

of beating themselves up a little bit,

10:30

how are you gonna treat someone when you see them doing that to themselves? And

10:33

if you take on the perspective of

10:35

being inside the person you love's body,

10:38

how are you gonna respond to those

10:40

thoughts and the things going

10:42

on in the person's mind that you love? You're

10:44

just in their body observing it. How are you

10:46

gonna reassure this body you're in for the person

10:48

you love? How are you gonna approach

10:50

those thoughts? Because you see the value in the

10:53

person that you love. You're just in their environment,

10:55

you're in their body, observing what's going on. How

10:57

are you gonna address it? How are you gonna

10:59

take care of those thoughts? You're not just gonna

11:01

let them go and let

11:03

them beat the person you love up. You're gonna combat

11:06

them and be like, no, the person

11:08

I love is not worthless. They're not stupid,

11:10

they're not dumb. And you're gonna want to

11:12

reassure the thoughts inside the

11:14

person you love's head. Do that

11:16

in your own head. When you're second

11:19

guessing yourself, you have

11:21

to be accountable, duh. Like always be

11:23

accountable and check yourself. You

11:25

would check the person you love, I hope. I'm

11:27

like that, I check the people that I care

11:30

about, but I also reassure them. Like I see

11:32

and call out what needs to be called out,

11:35

but I don't do it in a way that's

11:37

degrading and dismissive to all their other qualities. I

11:39

remind them of all their other qualities and

11:42

empower them and reassure them. Literally anytime

11:44

you start worrying about it, just imagine

11:46

these thoughts in the person's mind you

11:48

love and you're in their body. Look

11:50

at how you approach it, look at

11:52

how you handle them, and then use

11:54

that to yourself. All right,

11:56

next on my list is when I care

11:58

about somebody, I'm very, very, aware of

12:00

how my actions impact them and

12:03

what will hurt them or what could potentially be

12:05

damaging to them and then I do not do

12:07

them. If you were in the person you love's

12:09

body for a day, what actions would you not

12:12

take that you usually do in your own body?

12:14

What would you have to stop doing? But

12:17

another angle with that one is with

12:19

the people that I love and the

12:21

people that I care about, I am

12:24

willing to do things that hurt

12:26

them. If what I'm

12:28

doing is in line with what's

12:30

best for them, if I see

12:32

something is beneficial to someone

12:34

I love and care about, if

12:36

it means causing them a little bit of pain

12:39

right now for what's best for them, I'm willing

12:41

to do it. I'm willing to

12:43

hurt them a little to get them to

12:45

what they need and what they really want.

12:47

If you need to remove something, remove

12:50

it because you see why you're doing it.

12:52

You see the positive benefit. Now with yourself,

12:54

if you know that there's something you need

12:56

to do or something that could

12:58

cause you pain but would benefit you and

13:01

if pain is the upfront thing

13:03

you need to deal with but what you want is

13:05

on the other side, you need to be willing to

13:07

endure that and put yourself through that to get to

13:09

what you want. That goes in line with discipline. That

13:11

goes in line with so many things but just doing

13:13

what you need to do, doing what's best for you

13:16

is not a fun thing. It's a pain in the

13:18

ass but this perspective makes it a lot easier for

13:20

me. Next thing with people you love,

13:23

what do you do? You make time for them. You

13:25

prioritize them. You like hanging out with

13:27

them. One of my favorite things to

13:30

do is hang out with myself but you have to

13:32

make the time to hang out with yourself and to

13:34

be alone and have your own little moment. Prioritizing

13:36

and making sure you have time for someone

13:38

you love is something you need to experience

13:40

if you do not feel like you love

13:42

yourself. You need to make

13:45

time and schedule time if you have to,

13:47

if you're that busy. Make time to be

13:50

with yourself and sit with yourself. I'm not

13:52

saying you have to meditate and all this

13:54

bullshit. I'm just saying hang out with yourself.

13:57

Read something, journal something, check in

13:59

with yourself. put on some music, hang

14:01

out, have a time where there's no distraction.

14:03

I mean finish my podcast, but like have

14:05

a time when there's no distraction

14:07

from you. Just hang out with you. Do

14:09

what you want to do. Go

14:11

shopping one day by yourself. Go take

14:13

yourself to dinner. But the point behind

14:15

this is making time for yourself because

14:17

it sends you the message you are

14:19

worth prioritizing and you get to feel

14:21

what it's like to have

14:24

someone make time for you. It's

14:26

yourself. But like I

14:28

said in the beginning of this, this is

14:30

about not questioning the love you have to

14:32

give and how you care about people and

14:34

actually loving yourself. When you experience this, you

14:37

know what other people feel when you make time

14:39

for them. You see how valuable it is when

14:41

you give that to other people by giving it

14:43

to yourself. That's the main thing with all this.

14:46

Next thing, this gets delusional with a lot of

14:49

people. But you know when you're dating somebody or

14:51

you really care about somebody and

14:53

what is important to them, no

14:56

longer seems weird. Like people can

14:58

be into some weird shit and you all of a

15:00

sudden are like cool with it and you're like okay

15:02

this is important and you make it be important for

15:05

them and you let it be important for

15:07

them and you prioritize it and you make

15:09

sure they get to do what's important to

15:11

them. You don't criticize what's important to them.

15:13

Stop criticizing what's important to you. If you

15:16

like something, do it. It's not

15:18

up for criticism. It's not up to be

15:20

questioned and dissected. You're allowed for what's important

15:22

to you to be important to you. So

15:24

start showing yourself that's okay. The same way

15:26

you would do that for someone that you

15:28

do care about and that you do love.

15:30

And I do want to emphasize even if

15:32

it's some weird shit, other people don't have

15:34

to understand. If it's important to you, it's

15:36

important to you. That's okay. That's fine. But

15:38

you allowing yourself to let it be important

15:41

is the thing here. You're allowed to like

15:43

what you like. And I like

15:45

it. Next thing is a little one

15:47

but it's big. When you care about somebody like

15:49

you'd be complimenting them. You'd be appreciating them. Give

15:51

compliments to yourself. God damn it. Like when you

15:53

get in the mirror or you like something about

15:55

yourself, give yourself a compliment. Like make a mental

15:57

note of it and point it out for your

16:00

Like the way that you point things out

16:02

and you say things to make someone you

16:04

love feel good do that about you It's

16:06

not weird to compliment yourself It's not weird

16:09

to look in the mirror and be like

16:11

hey you ate with this fit It's kind

16:13

of cute or to be nice and be

16:15

like, okay You look hot the fuck like

16:17

complimenting yourself and giving yourself encouragement and little

16:19

boosts like this is huge That's something people

16:22

forget to do and there's so much shame

16:24

around it You're allowed to compliment yourself and

16:26

that's one thing I wish a lot of

16:28

people would do more and not make it

16:30

seem like it's so weird and Anyone

16:33

watching this video you don't have to worry

16:35

about the misplaced confidence You barely fucking have

16:37

any if you're dealing with self-love you're cripplingly

16:39

insecure when you're on this spectrum If you're

16:41

watching this video, you can never get to

16:44

a point where you delusionally have a big

16:46

head You're allowed to compliment yourself, you know,

16:48

it takes a lot to get

16:50

a compliment from yourself if you're watching this I know

16:52

I see you but literally practice

16:54

giving yourself Compliments like

16:56

the same way you would give to someone that

16:58

you love start looking at yourself like that It's

17:01

fine to be like I'm funny as fuck or

17:03

like that was cute Whatever I do that was

17:05

cute or just anything you can appreciate about yourself.

17:07

Take a second to do it. It's not weird.

17:09

It's not crazy It's necessary and if you

17:11

want to tap into the perspective of being inside their body

17:14

What little things do they say and like think

17:16

that's cute? Like what little mannerisms do they have

17:18

where you're like, oh, that's cute I mean

17:20

look at yourself like that start looking at every

17:22

little thing that you do and be like, okay

17:24

Like appreciate it for a goddamn second. Okay, before

17:27

we keep going We're gonna take a second to talk

17:29

about the sponsors of today's podcast The first one is

17:31

Zoc Doc and this is gonna be your new go-to

17:34

For anything you need with a doctor Zoc Doc

17:36

is a free app and website where you can

17:39

search and compare highly rated and networked doctors near

17:41

you and instantly book appointments With them online once

17:43

you find the doctor you want you can book

17:45

immediately So you don't have to wait on the

17:48

phone and deal with the receptionist and stuff like

17:50

that But also they have verified

17:52

patient reviews So you can go through and

17:54

read the reviews on every doctor and find

17:56

the one that seems the best reviewed

17:58

and suited to to you, kind of

18:00

like when you're in college or you're in high

18:03

school and you can look up the teachers and

18:05

get reviews on the teachers before you book their

18:07

class. You can see if they're good or not.

18:09

Same thing with the doctors. You can filter specifically

18:11

for the doctors who take your insurance are located

18:13

near you and treat basically any condition you're searching

18:15

for. The typical wait time to see a doctor

18:17

booked on ZocDoc is between 24 and 72 hours.

18:21

And some of them you can even get same day appointments. So

18:23

keep this in mind anytime you need

18:25

a doctor in the future and go

18:28

to zocdoc.com/aware and download the ZocDoc app

18:30

for free. And you can find and

18:32

book a top rated doctor today. That's

18:34

ZOC doc.com/aware. Our next sponsor is Lumi

18:36

and they're a deodorant company. And this

18:38

is very important for me because I'm

18:40

a type that will not leave the

18:42

house if I don't have deodorant on

18:44

and I will turn the car around

18:47

and go back home to get deodorant

18:49

if I forgot it. But

18:51

19:34

back to the podcast. Now the

19:36

next thing with people I love is I like

19:39

to celebrate them, whether it's their birthday or

19:41

an accomplishment or something that they did, giving

19:43

them a moment of praise and celebration with

19:45

them is a big thing I love

19:47

to do it. And that's something I was

19:49

not gonna do this year for my birthday was I

19:52

was just gonna work through it. Cause I have a

19:54

lot of stuff going on with this tour and everything

19:56

that's going into it, it's a lot of work. But

19:58

I was like, I just wanted to do it. I

20:00

kinda skip my birthday and go over it. I'm 26.

20:02

I feel like I'm getting old. I don't like it

20:04

I just wanted to just not celebrate it But I've

20:06

hit this whole new mindset and this new approach and

20:09

I did celebrate myself Like you

20:11

need to start celebrating yourself and your accomplishments and

20:13

the things that you do and achieve With

20:16

a moment of just gratitude and appreciation for

20:18

yourself for it Celebrate your goddamn self like

20:20

somebody you love if you would buy them

20:23

balloons go buy yourself balloons If you would

20:25

buy them flowers or buy them champagne and

20:27

drink with them do it get your friends

20:29

together Celebrate yourself make yourself important make

20:32

what you've accomplished Be

20:34

important and as soon as you see it

20:36

as important and you let yourself feel important

20:38

about it people are gonna want to join

20:40

in the next thing is a really really

20:42

big one and It's with

20:44

the people you love you see the entirety

20:47

of them You see all of them when

20:49

you look at them whether it's physically emotionally

20:51

mentally any of it You don't just look

20:53

at them and see their flaws Do

20:56

not fucking do that to yourself stop looking

20:58

at yourself and just seeing what's wrong with

21:00

you and the little few things you would

21:03

nitpick or the things that you want to

21:05

Change look at the entirety of yourself stop

21:07

just focusing in and pinpointing the things you

21:09

don't like You don't look at someone you

21:11

love like that and I'm not saying don't

21:13

change things you want to change I'm just

21:16

saying don't only focus on that look at

21:18

and see yourself Entirely

21:20

as a person instead of just your

21:22

flaws and just your fucking issues Everybody

21:25

has things they want to change Everybody has

21:27

things they don't like but when you look

21:29

at someone you love you don't only see

21:31

those things So stop doing that to you

21:33

and literally watch how much changes just off

21:35

of that Because when you're insecure

21:37

and you're not operating like this You'll

21:40

only see in situations where you'll look back

21:42

on conversations. You'd be like, oh, I shouldn't

21:44

have said this or this wasn't funny I'm

21:46

annoying. I'm this I'm that look

21:49

at the entirety of yourself Not just

21:51

this one or two little things you

21:53

said in the minute conversation and nitpick

21:55

yourself for it There's things that the

21:57

people we love do that are fucking

21:59

annoying There's little things that are like,

22:01

okay, irritating, but we overlook it because we see

22:03

them as an entire person Not just these one

22:05

or two little flaws or one or two little

22:08

fuck-ups So that's one thing I really want to

22:10

say is don't be like that to yourself. You're

22:12

not like that to someone you love So

22:15

put that toward you now the next

22:17

one is justifying

22:20

emotions When

22:22

you love someone and you care about someone

22:25

They do not have to explain and

22:28

build a case for why they

22:30

feel the way that they do when they come

22:32

to you and say they feel something you see

22:34

it for what it is and you

22:37

acknowledge it and say okay, you don't

22:39

poke at them and Make

22:42

them prove that they're justified to feel

22:44

the way that they do stop fucking

22:46

doing that to you That's something I

22:48

had to crack recently very recently is

22:50

Feeling like I needed to build a case to

22:53

prove why I feel the way that I do

22:55

me just saying I'm uncomfortable I'm tired.

22:57

I don't like this or I feel

22:59

like I don't resonate with this I felt like

23:01

I had to fight to hold

23:03

on to and be allowed to hold this

23:06

emotion You don't have to fight to hold

23:08

any emotion how you fucking feel is how

23:10

you feel So don't write yourself off or

23:12

look for all these things and all this

23:14

proof of why you're allowed to feel the

23:17

way that you do Oh, it's because I

23:19

have this this this this and this stop

23:21

making the proof you feel how you feel

23:24

and that's it stop fighting

23:26

to feel like you're allowed

23:28

to Acknowledge how you feel

23:30

and I feel like you have to prove

23:32

your anger or prove your hurt or prove

23:35

your sadness because when you feel Like you

23:37

have to justify feeling hurt by something You're

23:39

just gonna see all the ways it hurts you

23:41

and you're gonna get stuck in it and you're

23:43

gonna start to fight To be

23:46

able to hold that emotion and be stuck

23:48

to it and attached to it longer like

23:50

if something small makes you upset It's

23:53

allowed to make you upset. You don't have to

23:55

look it triggered me from this from my childhood

23:58

It's from this this and this and this all

24:00

these things I already have going on, you

24:02

understand how you feel. You already know

24:04

why it's bothering you. You understand why

24:07

this impacted you. Even if it's

24:09

something small, your reaction is your reaction. And

24:11

the way you feel is the way you feel. Stop

24:13

feeling like you have to remind yourself and give

24:16

yourself like a fact check of like, you're not

24:18

allowed to feel this way, but I felt

24:20

this, this, and this, and I've been

24:22

through this, this, and this. Now I can feel

24:24

this way. Just let yourself feel how you fucking

24:26

feel and acknowledge it. Stop trying to stack proof

24:28

for it and just validate it.

24:30

You're upset by something. You're hurt

24:32

by something. You're mad. Okay, that's

24:35

totally fine. Now what? Just

24:38

letting how you feel be how you

24:40

feel and just seeing it for what

24:42

it is, is going to set you

24:44

free a lot faster than having to

24:46

justify why you're allowed to feel that

24:48

way. That's not up for discussion

24:50

no more. How you feel is how you fucking

24:52

feel. Now acknowledge it in yourself like you would

24:55

someone you love. Now the last

24:57

one on my list is

24:59

the one that's helped me the most. When

25:01

it comes to someone I love, I always

25:04

reassure them and make sure I say to

25:06

them, I'm with you

25:09

and I make sure they know that I'm there for

25:11

them. That's

25:13

something I've had to start saying a lot

25:15

to myself and it's been very emotional to

25:18

just look at myself in the mirror or to just

25:20

say to myself in my head, I'm with you. When

25:23

you stop abandoning yourself and

25:25

you reassure yourself like you would someone you love,

25:28

I'm with you, I've got you, I'm here,

25:30

it changes the

25:32

entire way you feel about anything. Just

25:34

bringing your attention and your focus to

25:37

yourself helps you not feel abandoned. Like

25:39

when you're going in to do something

25:41

and you're nervous or you're scared or

25:43

you're worried and you just say to

25:45

yourself, I'm with you. Your

25:47

consciousness, your focus, your everything is centered

25:49

with you. This body and your mind

25:52

is all separate. Your

25:54

soul is separate, but it's the same

25:56

at the same time, but just getting

25:58

the verbal reassurance of that. of I'm

26:00

with you, I'm here for you, is

26:03

gonna change your entire fucking life. Literally

26:05

any time you're feeling upset or

26:09

literally any emotion, I'm with you. When you're

26:11

in the good moments and the happy moments,

26:13

I'm with you, you feel

26:15

so much more reconnected to yourself and

26:17

it becomes a lot harder to abandon

26:20

yourself when you start treating

26:22

yourself like someone you love and reassure you

26:24

you're with you and you've got you. When

26:27

you start loving yourself like

26:29

you love other people, it

26:33

becomes impossible to question your

26:36

value and your worth because you feel

26:38

it. Like you're never gonna go forward

26:40

after you start implementing how

26:42

you love other people toward you when

26:45

you lose somebody or you break up with

26:47

somebody and you leave them, they leave you,

26:49

whatever it is. You're not gonna be able

26:51

to question yourself because you're still

26:53

with yourself. You still have love,

26:55

they didn't take it and they

26:58

didn't leave with your ability to

27:00

appreciate yourself because you are

27:02

still giving yourself to yourself. This

27:04

is something I cannot emphasize enough

27:08

and I just went through a whole big

27:10

period of questioning myself and this is the

27:12

whole resolution I've come to around it and

27:15

feeling solid in it. No one can

27:17

come in and out of my life

27:19

anymore and take my ability to appreciate

27:21

myself because I'm not leaving myself, I'm

27:23

not leaving with them. I'm still here

27:25

with me. Like I said on the

27:27

last point, I'm with you. Whether you're

27:29

happy, sad, pissed off, I'm

27:31

here. That's all you have

27:33

to say to yourself and it's the craziest

27:35

thing, the shift that will happen. But

27:38

I hope you found this helpful. If you liked it,
