But what else is true ? I think one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself in any situation , any situation good , bad or otherwise is what else is true ? Because even when we think everything's great , we can miss out . That's another place where there's space on . What else is true ? Because then we
go in the lane of this is good , this is good , this is good and it's only a question what else is true ?
Speaker 1You get this broadening right , this of your horizons , of seeing stuff , and then you've slowed down long enough to see it and then , if this is still true , if this is still what you want to do , then go for it , but you've done it consciously is still what you want to do , then go for it , but you've done it consciously . Like you know , I'm doing that because it's delicious , for sure . What if you , you know , to the Buddhist point ,
you know eating food . How many of us just stuff food in in the morning , just like automatically doing six , seven different things ? Right , you know you don't .
Speaker 1You miss out on a lot when we do things so quickly or when we overlook things that are familiar , or where we only default to where things are familiar , which is what so often people answer really quickly because A either they think you know that they want to be right , because they don't want to be wrong , but you know , I'm always saying well , why and why ? Why is that important to you ? And
they go well , because it's good to be a good person ? Yeah , for sure , absolutely it is . But why For you ? Why is it important for you to be a good person ? Why is it important for you to fill in the blank ? Because that's bespoke to us and that's what we are responsible for . We are responsible for our why . You can't just , you know , a lot of people live on the surface , so a lot of people live up here going well , you know , I'm being nice because it's nice to be nice , yes , and it's nice to be polite , and so on and so forth . But why I ?
Speaker 2have to say I like that question . What else is true ? But for a reminder , I just am newly into menopause , so my brain will start to either fog
out or obsess one or the other . It'll either obsess over something Like I can't get out of the cycle , or it'll fog out . And so if I could just ask myself well , this is true , I might break my cycle .
Speaker 1Well , totally . And also , you know , when you say menopause , everybody in the room not just because we're women , everybody in the world , whatever room we'd be in , men , women , otherwise they they're they all have preconceived notions about what that means , what it entails , so it's very , very easy to buy into . Oh yeah , the brain fog is because of menopause . It might be .
Speaker 1It might be yeah but but for that to become our identity , you know , for that is it , which is , which is what happens . So , rather than being your superpower , which is what happens ? So , rather than being your superpower , which is , I'm experiencing brain fog . It might be because of that . What else is true ? And how might I manage that ? Then you can be solution focused . Then you go . How am I going to navigate
that ? As opposed to , well , I hit that age . I mean , that's like . You know the limiting beliefs that people have about age . We've been spoon fed all that , right , yeah definitely .
