095 - Do you have holes in your underwear?
Yeah, I know—it's none of my business. But I'm talking about it anyway this week, with mindset champion and podcast regular Heather Lahtinen. Because the state of your underpants can reveal more than you might think.
In this episode, we're talking about your relationship to money, how your environment affects your mindset, and simple ways to shift your energy through small, incremental upgrades...like ditching those holey, stretched-out underoos for something better.
What To Listen For:
Like money? Want more of it??
With this episode, we're kicking off a once-a-month series to talk about moving past your money hangups and opening the door to more abundance into your life. Because who doesn't want that?!

00:00:02,540 --> 00:00:03,740
I'm Nicole Begley.

our money stories,
7
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:16,650
how to start to change them and how to bring some
8
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:18,240
upgrades into our lives.
9
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:21,410
This is going to be the first of many money podcasts
10
00:00:21,410 --> 00:00:23,370
that we're going to be hosting.
11
00:00:23,370 --> 00:00:26,840
We're going to be doing one per month through the rest
12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,630
of the year.
13
00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:30,780
And we are so excited to chat about this with you.

00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:31,570
Stay tuned.
15
00:00:31,570 --> 00:00:34,090

00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:51,590
Nicole here from hair of the dog.
26
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:54,840
And welcome back to the hair of the dog podcast.
27
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,850
Today. I have special guest.
28
00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:58,100
You guys know her.
29
00:00:58,100 --> 00:00:59,350
You guys love her.

00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:01,760
You love when she's on the podcast,
31
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,770
Heather Loddon from the flourish academy,
32
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:07,180
also hair of the dog elevate coach,
33
00:01:07,180 --> 00:01:10,130
Heather. Welcome back to the podcast.
34
00:01:10,190 --> 00:01:11,930
Thank you so much for having me.
35
00:01:12,050 --> 00:01:15,920
I am particularly excited about our topic today.
36
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:17,210
Oh my gosh.
37
00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:17,960
Me too.
38
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:21,650
And not only is this a topic for today,
39
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:25,730
we have so much to share on the subject that we
40
00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:29,120
decided that this should be a once a month topic.
41
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:31,280
I don't know for at least the rest of 2021.
42
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:34,160
I think that's a great idea because there's no way,
43
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,370
you know,
44
00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:36,530
when we were preparing for the recording today,
45
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,480
we thought there was no way we could share everything we
46
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,220
need to talk about in one episode.
47
00:01:40,220 --> 00:01:41,390
So let's make it a series.
48
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:42,980
Yeah. Yeah.
49
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:43,790
It's fantastic.
50
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:45,830
And I think a lot of you guys are gonna like
51
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:46,190
this too,
52
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:51,050
because I think everybody wants to make more money in their
53
00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:51,800
life. Right.
54
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:54,950
So when I teach money trading,
55
00:01:54,980 --> 00:01:55,850
I always say,
56
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,540
I intro it.
57
00:01:56,540 --> 00:01:57,110
And then I say,
58
00:01:57,140 --> 00:01:57,860
oh, wait a second.
59
00:01:57,890 --> 00:01:59,600
I'm actually assuming you want more money.
60
00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:01,820
Is that an accurate assumption?
61
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:04,490
Not fine.
62
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:06,980
Yeah. So this is a pretty universal thing that,
63
00:02:07,010 --> 00:02:07,340
you know,
64
00:02:07,340 --> 00:02:10,370
we want to continue to increase our net worth.
65
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:12,590
We want to continue to increase the flow of abundance and
66
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:13,820
money into our life.
67
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:17,450
And that my friends is what we are talking about today,
68
00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:19,700
about our money stories,
69
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,150
about our relationship with money about gosh,
70
00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:25,010
all these charged things.
71
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:27,200
Like if there's one thing other than like,
72
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:27,920
I don't know,
73
00:02:28,370 --> 00:02:33,740
politics, or like talking about pandemic to vaccinate or not vaccinate
74
00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:37,730
like money might be as charged as those things.
75
00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:39,020
If not more,
76
00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:41,030
because it's just,
77
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,010
I think because you know,
78
00:02:43,310 --> 00:02:44,120
on the face of it,
79
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400
it's just a piece of paper or like a little hunk
80
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:46,820
of metal,
81
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:49,190
right? That we've decided that it's worth something.
82
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:51,710
But I think it goes down to subconsciously.
83
00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:53,570
We know that in our society,
84
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:56,060
you can't survive without money.
85
00:02:56,090 --> 00:03:01,540
Like it is a actual need to have for our physical
86
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,150
and mental safety and to be able to keep a roof
87
00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:06,460
over our heads and food on the plate.
88
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,370
So therefore all of these stories,
89
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,030
all these experiences that we create throughout our life or happen
90
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,750
to us or that we then change the meaning of whatever
91
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:20,500
happened, just become so charged.
92
00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:24,580
Like they have so much emotion behind them because the underlying
93
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:27,550
need of this money for us to survive in the world
94
00:03:27,550 --> 00:03:28,060
that we live in.
95
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:29,880
I think that's the key word.
96
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:30,930
It's emotional.
97
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,940
There's so much emotion around it.
98
00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:34,530
So I'm holding in my hand right now,
99
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,510
a $100 bill crystal,
100
00:03:36,570 --> 00:03:37,560
clean new,
101
00:03:37,650 --> 00:03:39,630
and I'm looking at it and I'm thinking you're right.
102
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:43,350
It is just a piece of paper with some printing it's
103
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:48,240
green. It's not even particularly pretty or nice to look at.
104
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:51,870
It is in other countries like in Australia,
105
00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:56,820
they've got like Coopers and New Zealand penguins and Costa Rica.
106
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:57,720
They have slots.
107
00:03:57,810 --> 00:04:00,780
We actually call them Sam from dog breath,
108
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880
photography. Kaylee's other half.
109
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,380
He called them floss dollars the whole time.
110
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,880
That's fantastic.
111
00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:07,470
Yeah. I did not know that.
112
00:04:07,770 --> 00:04:09,240
So you're,
113
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,660
you're more,
114
00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:11,220
well-versed in money around the world.
115
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:11,700
So anyway,
116
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,960
I'm holding this $100 bill and I D there's definitely emotion
117
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,330
involved with this because I am feeling something as I look
118
00:04:18,330 --> 00:04:18,660
at this,
119
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:20,370
especially if there were a stack of them,
120
00:04:20,580 --> 00:04:22,560
I would feel good.
121
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:24,510
I would feel secure.
122
00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:26,640
I have found for me,
123
00:04:26,940 --> 00:04:30,150
my mood is tied directly to money,
124
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:30,500
by the way.
125
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,410
That's not a good thing.
126
00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:33,000
I'm not proud of that.
127
00:04:33,210 --> 00:04:33,480
It would.
128
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,130
I look at my bank account of what's going on with
129
00:04:35,130 --> 00:04:36,570
my business when things are going well,
130
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:37,620
I'm happy.
131
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:38,850
And when they're not,
132
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:41,910
I am upset or I'm trying to find out.
133
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:43,470
And that means what that means.
134
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:46,230
Nicole is there's work to be done because I'm giving away
135
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:48,300
my power to money.
136
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:48,600
And I,
137
00:04:49,230 --> 00:04:50,400
I don't want to do that now.
138
00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:52,860
I don't know that we'll ever fully eliminate that,
139
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,190
but could I just dial it down a notch because it's
140
00:04:56,190 --> 00:04:57,480
not serving me.
141
00:04:57,630 --> 00:05:00,930
If my mood is tied directly to logging into my bank
142
00:05:00,930 --> 00:05:01,740
account, right?
143
00:05:01,770 --> 00:05:02,460
That's not right.
144
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:04,350
You want to get that internally.
145
00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:05,370
So, you know,
146
00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:07,590
I want to be able to internally just be in a
147
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:11,370
good mood and choose that versus the external forces that then
148
00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:12,450
dictate my mood.
149
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:12,900
I don't,
150
00:05:12,930 --> 00:05:14,130
I don't want to be in this position,
151
00:05:14,130 --> 00:05:15,600
so let's work on it.
152
00:05:16,140 --> 00:05:17,040
Yeah, absolutely.
153
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,020
And I think this also ties back into,
154
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:21,000
gosh, this could be a whole nother episode on like the
155
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,890
be, do have model where,
156
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:23,400
you know,
157
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,130
a lot of us mistakenly think,
158
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,280
oh, once I have this amount of income in my business,
159
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,740
once I have this amount of dollars in my bank account,
160
00:05:31,950 --> 00:05:35,940
then I can do something or I can feel something or
161
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:38,790
I can be worthy or I can be successful or I
162
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:41,910
can be happy or insert the adjective here.
163
00:05:42,090 --> 00:05:44,190
And it's backwards.
164
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:44,970
It's backwards.
165
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:46,170
You will never reach that.
166
00:05:46,170 --> 00:05:48,690
Money will never cause you to reach that.
167
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:52,230
That's something that's available inside all of us right now.
168
00:05:52,260 --> 00:05:56,940
And if you can dial into that and feel that abundance
169
00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:58,400
and feel that frequency,
170
00:05:58,430 --> 00:06:02,150
then you can get that 3d money that you're looking for
171
00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:03,170
because all right,
172
00:06:03,170 --> 00:06:04,970
I'm going to go off the little wheel rails a little
173
00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:05,360
bit here,
174
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,890
but it's actually quantum physics.
175
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,590
And that is money is just energy.
176
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:09,890
You know,
177
00:06:09,890 --> 00:06:13,520
it's just this frequency that we put out into the world
178
00:06:13,580 --> 00:06:14,450
of, you know,
179
00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:17,720
that, that attracts it back to us or repels it away
180
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,780
from us or causes it to leave our bank account in
181
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,600
an emergency spend or whatever it is.
182
00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:24,710
And I mean,
183
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:29,120
we all have this just kind of energetic comfort level of
184
00:06:29,150 --> 00:06:33,740
where we are comfortable with whatever I can tell you exactly
185
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:34,250
where it is.
186
00:06:34,250 --> 00:06:35,780
Like just open up your bank account.
187
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:38,390
And the amount in there is where your comfort level is.
188
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,830
It's it's that easy.
189
00:06:39,890 --> 00:06:44,870
So we really just need to kind of focus on this
190
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:46,760
relationship that we have with our money,
191
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,550
which as we mentioned is so multifaceted and the things that
192
00:06:49,550 --> 00:06:50,810
I just mentioned could actually,
193
00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:52,400
we could talk about it for like a week,
194
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,370
but this podcast is like an hour.
195
00:06:55,610 --> 00:06:58,460
So I guess we need to like dial it in for
196
00:06:58,460 --> 00:06:59,180
step one.
197
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:00,820
I think so.
198
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:02,860
But just to reiterate what you're saying,
199
00:07:02,860 --> 00:07:04,840
I can't remember which celebrity said this.
200
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:06,400
I want to say it was Jim Carey.
201
00:07:06,490 --> 00:07:07,450
He said something like,
202
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:10,420
oh, I wish everybody could have $10 million in their bank
203
00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:12,160
account so that they could see it doesn't change things.
204
00:07:13,410 --> 00:07:13,660
You know,
205
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:14,260
people say,
206
00:07:14,410 --> 00:07:16,000
well, if I had enough money,
207
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,250
I would be happy if I had enough money,
208
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:20,170
I would be more relaxed.
209
00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:23,200
But the truth is you have to be more relaxed and
210
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,090
happy in order to attract money.
211
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,140
So it is definitely backwards from what people think working from
212
00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:31,600
the inside out versus the outside in.
213
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,130
Yes, absolutely.
214
00:07:33,190 --> 00:07:37,540
Absolutely. So today we have a fun little exercise.
215
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:39,310
So we're going to dive right into the exercise or do
216
00:07:39,310 --> 00:07:39,790
we want to,
217
00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:40,210
we want to,
218
00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:41,310
how do we want to,
219
00:07:42,250 --> 00:07:43,330
that's a good question.
220
00:07:43,390 --> 00:07:44,770
I want to start by saying,
221
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:45,220
you know,
222
00:07:45,220 --> 00:07:46,780
I, I wanted to tackle on,
223
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:48,250
I wanted to tackle this one thing,
224
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:52,210
because this was the very first thing that you taught me.
225
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,630
This had to be at least five or six years ago,
226
00:07:55,690 --> 00:07:59,170
you brought this concept to me and it,
227
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,640
it was a struggle.
228
00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:02,350
It was really difficult.
229
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,240
And I'm just thinking if I struggled with this,
230
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,370
maybe others do as well.
231
00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:09,730
But once I figured this out and sort of pushed through
232
00:08:09,730 --> 00:08:10,420
the emotion,
233
00:08:10,420 --> 00:08:12,610
it really helped shift my thinking.
234
00:08:12,610 --> 00:08:14,830
So tell us what this concept is.
235
00:08:15,130 --> 00:08:20,560
Sure. So this concept is basically it's helping us to kind
236
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,590
of just up-level and these little tiny pieces,
237
00:08:23,590 --> 00:08:24,820
because again,
238
00:08:24,970 --> 00:08:26,710
changing our feelings,
239
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:30,850
like starting to recognize the thoughts that we're thinking that are
240
00:08:30,850 --> 00:08:33,460
leading to our emotions that are leading to like,
241
00:08:33,460 --> 00:08:33,910
you know,
242
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,120
all these other things that we're feeling and experiencing in life.
243
00:08:37,220 --> 00:08:39,490
It's hard to sometimes recognize,
244
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:42,610
and it's hard to change it by like flipping a switch.
245
00:08:42,670 --> 00:08:46,090
So a lot of times we need these little incremental upgrades
246
00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:50,650
and we need these little incremental upgrades in ways that help
247
00:08:50,650 --> 00:08:54,700
us get comfortable and experience more abundance.
248
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:57,810
And then when we get comfortable and experienced this new level
249
00:08:57,810 --> 00:08:58,530
of abundance,
250
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,990
then our comfortability at that level raises,
251
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:03,300
and then we can be open to a new level and
252
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,700
you just keep upleveling all these things,
253
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:09,030
and you're doing it in such a little stepping stone pattern
254
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:12,690
that there's not this giant uncomfortable,
255
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:17,670
super scary questioning yourself because they're little tiny things like toilet
256
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:20,790
bowl, cleaner or socks that we'll talk about in a minute.
257
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:23,760
So it's really just looking at little places in our life
258
00:09:23,790 --> 00:09:26,400
where we can make small choices,
259
00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:32,610
small upgrades that deliver huge emotional benefits really by just,
260
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:33,540
but yeah,
261
00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:37,020
they like small dollars equal large emotional payouts.
262
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,590
Right? So what you had said to me was we had
263
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:44,270
just built our homestead and we were hemorrhaging money.
264
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:44,900
I mean,
265
00:09:44,930 --> 00:09:45,740
it was just,
266
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,140
it was actually the only time in my adult life where
267
00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:49,340
I was a little bit nervous.
268
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,300
And you said to me,
269
00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:52,100
you need to upgrade your environment.
270
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:54,020
And it was something small,
271
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:54,410
you know,
272
00:09:54,410 --> 00:09:57,560
just upgrade something that you look at every day that will
273
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:00,410
make you feel more abundant.
274
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,380
What could you upgrade that would make you feel better when
275
00:10:03,380 --> 00:10:04,280
you looked at it again,
276
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,330
something you see every day.
277
00:10:05,390 --> 00:10:08,390
And I was so frustrated and I was like,
278
00:10:08,420 --> 00:10:11,750
Nicole, you don't understand there's no money.
279
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:12,230
I mean,
280
00:10:12,350 --> 00:10:13,280
I'm telling you,
281
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:14,300
there is no money.
282
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:16,940
We have spent it all to build this homestead.
283
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,380
And there's nothing I can do.
284
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:21,830
So I was in this weird catch 22,
285
00:10:21,890 --> 00:10:23,330
and I wonder if anybody can relate.
286
00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:26,030
You're telling me to upgrade my environment so that I feel
287
00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:26,720
more abundant,
288
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:27,230
but I,
289
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,880
I can't because I don't have the money,
290
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,410
which actually makes me feel worse.
291
00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:32,150
I feel like there's more scarcity.
292
00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:34,010
So I sat on what you said,
293
00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:38,570
because sometimes I'm a little bit loo I sat on what
294
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:39,140
you said.
295
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,830
I don't remember.
296
00:10:39,830 --> 00:10:43,790
It was maybe a couple of days and I trust you
297
00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:45,560
and everything that you're telling me,
298
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:46,730
I'm thinking I need to do this.
299
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:47,840
I just feel really frustrated.
300
00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:48,590
So I looked around,
301
00:10:48,590 --> 00:10:49,190
what could I do?
302
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:50,930
And one day I was getting ready in my bathroom.
303
00:10:50,930 --> 00:10:54,140
And I noticed that my garbage can was just a wreck.
304
00:10:54,260 --> 00:10:58,400
It was like filthy grounded in stuff that you could not
305
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,180
clean off.
306
00:10:59,210 --> 00:10:59,960
It was like,
307
00:10:59,990 --> 00:11:00,950
it was plastic,
308
00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:01,760
but oh,
309
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,720
it just looked terrible.
310
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,020
I mean,
311
00:11:03,020 --> 00:11:06,020
it looked like it should be in an alleyway somewhere.
312
00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:07,370
Like not my nice bathroom.
313
00:11:07,370 --> 00:11:09,020
Right. And I thought I need to get a new garbage
314
00:11:09,020 --> 00:11:10,550
can, but I don't have any money.
315
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:11,360
Okay. Whatever.
316
00:11:11,450 --> 00:11:14,120
So I went to Walmart and I bought a,
317
00:11:14,210 --> 00:11:14,720
I don't know,
318
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,250
I'm sure it was less than $10.
319
00:11:16,250 --> 00:11:18,710
It was probably like 9 99 and it's plastic.
320
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:20,630
I still actually have it to this day,
321
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:25,340
this little garbage can I bought it because it was new
322
00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:26,240
and it was clean.
323
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,360
And I decided I was going to upgrade my environment in
324
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:29,930
two ways.
325
00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:31,460
One was with the garbage can.
326
00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:32,090
And secondly,
327
00:11:32,090 --> 00:11:33,050
you won't even believe this.
328
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,720
I spent the money on garbage bags to fit it.
329
00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:37,280
I had never done that.
330
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:38,630
I had never been.
331
00:11:38,930 --> 00:11:41,600
You aren't using like the store or whatever,
332
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,380
like actual,
333
00:11:44,060 --> 00:11:45,800
so, which is why the garbage can,
334
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:46,760
you know,
335
00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:49,460
ended up deteriorating is because I was not putting a bag
336
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:49,700
in it.
337
00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:53,000
I know there's probably people laughing at this thinking like Heather
338
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:54,430
so simple.
339
00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:54,780
Like what,
340
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:56,250
what do you mean you weren't putting the bag at out?
341
00:11:56,250 --> 00:11:57,010
Okay, relax.
342
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,790
Save your judgment.
343
00:11:57,820 --> 00:11:58,270
I wasn't,
344
00:11:58,330 --> 00:11:58,690
I don't know.
345
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,400
So I buy this new garbage.
346
00:12:00,430 --> 00:12:02,470
Can I put the new garb?
347
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:04,540
I even bought like the brand name,
348
00:12:04,570 --> 00:12:05,410
garbage bags.
349
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,640
That smell nice.
350
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:07,780
This was,
351
00:12:07,930 --> 00:12:09,430
I know this sounds ridiculous,
352
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:10,540
but I'm telling you guys,
353
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,470
this was actually a really big deal to me because it
354
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:15,970
was something I see every day.
355
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:17,320
And when I saw that gross,
356
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,130
garbage can,
357
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:21,070
I was subconsciously telling my brain that that's what I was
358
00:12:21,070 --> 00:12:24,100
worth. And I wasn't worth anything more than that,
359
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,650
but dirty ground in dirt,
360
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:29,080
on an old plastic garbage can.
361
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:30,660
So one of the other things,
362
00:12:30,690 --> 00:12:34,770
even if you're not telling yourself subconsciously that like you are
363
00:12:34,770 --> 00:12:36,150
equal to the trashcan,
364
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,540
but you're telling yourself subconsciously that it's okay,
365
00:12:39,870 --> 00:12:41,190
that, you know,
366
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:44,610
you're just living around this environment of something.
367
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,390
Every time you see it,
368
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:46,170
you just know you're like,
369
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:47,370
Ugh, it just,
370
00:12:47,730 --> 00:12:50,100
it makes you energetically kind of go,
371
00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:51,150
you know,
372
00:12:51,150 --> 00:12:52,560
and some people might not bother,
373
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:54,690
but if you look at that and it makes you kind
374
00:12:54,690 --> 00:12:56,940
of like make that myth then,
375
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,670
okay, let's maybe talk about upgrading it.
376
00:12:59,670 --> 00:13:05,340
Especially when it's something that is so inexpensive to upgrade and
377
00:13:05,340 --> 00:13:06,210
so simple.
378
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:07,050
And I think,
379
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:08,220
I think what you said is key.
380
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,420
It's a tolerance thing.
381
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Even if you think it doesn't bother you,
382
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,270
I would argue that the message you're sending to your subconscious
383
00:13:15,330 --> 00:13:17,220
is this is what I tolerate in my life.
384
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,330
And this is okay,
385
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,150
and this is the level I'm at.
386
00:13:21,390 --> 00:13:22,590
And you know,
387
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:24,180
we had built a brand new home.
388
00:13:24,210 --> 00:13:25,530
The home was beautiful,
389
00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:26,430
is beautiful.
390
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,150
And I,
391
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,530
my bathroom is beautiful,
392
00:13:28,530 --> 00:13:31,500
but this garbage can was sending me a message that like,
393
00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:32,850
you're, you're not worth it.
394
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,800
You're not worth a nice garbage can.
395
00:13:34,830 --> 00:13:36,240
Okay. I know that's a stretch to say,
396
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,620
you're not worth it as,
397
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:38,670
as an identity,
398
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,730
but it certainly is a tolerance.
399
00:13:41,730 --> 00:13:42,660
What you put up with.
400
00:13:42,810 --> 00:13:44,280
So I bought the new garbage can.
401
00:13:44,340 --> 00:13:46,680
I got the new liners and every day I would just
402
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,420
smile because it's funny,
403
00:13:48,420 --> 00:13:49,050
you guys,
404
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,500
it's hilarious that a garbage can would make such a difference,
405
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,990
but, and I still use that garbage can and it's nice.
406
00:13:54,990 --> 00:13:55,650
And it looks new.
407
00:13:55,650 --> 00:13:57,360
Why? Because I use liners now.
408
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,680
Whoa, good idea.
409
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:01,470
I love it.
410
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:02,100
I love it.
411
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,020
I remember one of mine when I first kind of went
412
00:14:04,020 --> 00:14:04,590
through and I'm like,
413
00:14:04,590 --> 00:14:06,720
man, what can I upgrade?
414
00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:11,460
I think one area that is really easy to upgrade.
415
00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:14,970
And I think it's overlooked by a lot of us,
416
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
especially a lot of us women out there and that is
417
00:14:18,030 --> 00:14:20,460
upgrading our underwear and sock drawer.
418
00:14:21,270 --> 00:14:21,870
Oh my God.
419
00:14:21,870 --> 00:14:26,040
How many of you are still putting on socks with the
420
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,490
holes? My son does this actually get my husband.
421
00:14:29,490 --> 00:14:30,090
I'm like you guys,
422
00:14:30,090 --> 00:14:31,230
we can buy new socks.
423
00:14:31,310 --> 00:14:32,040
Like put them on.
424
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:32,300
I go,
425
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,960
I did the laundry and there's like this,
426
00:14:34,260 --> 00:14:35,790
my son has little feet.
427
00:14:35,790 --> 00:14:36,000
I mean,
428
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,690
he's only,
429
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,860
it's not quite 11.
430
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,680
And you look at the socks and there's this giant,
431
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,600
like half dollar size hole in his heel,
432
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,440
which is the whole heel.
433
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:43,650
I'm like,
434
00:14:43,650 --> 00:14:45,150
buddy, we can get new socks.
435
00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:45,540
He's like,
436
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,190
oh, well they still work.
437
00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:48,000
Like, oh my God,
438
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,230
I'm going to buy your new socks.
439
00:14:49,290 --> 00:14:53,720
But how good does it to pick up the pack of
440
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,790
$10 socks at Costco?
441
00:14:56,060 --> 00:14:57,140
Put it on your feet.
442
00:14:57,140 --> 00:14:57,620
And you're like,
443
00:14:57,620 --> 00:14:59,980
man, there's a party in my shoe today.
444
00:14:59,990 --> 00:15:01,780
This amazing,
445
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:05,350
dangerous socks underwear for the longest time,
446
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:05,950
I'm Heather,
447
00:15:05,980 --> 00:15:06,970
I'm embarrassed to admit it.
448
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,490
I would keep wearing like underwear with holes in it.
449
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,600
Cause it's like they still fit.
450
00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:12,970
Nobody sees them really.
451
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:17,200
But again,
452
00:15:17,260 --> 00:15:19,210
like I can go buy a little pack of underwear at
453
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:22,540
Costco for like 10 bucks and it feels like a million
454
00:15:22,540 --> 00:15:24,280
dollars. And if you really want to get crazy,
455
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,360
you can go buy fancy underwear,
456
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,900
but whatever,
457
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:27,580
just buy underwear that doesn't have holes.
458
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,720
Right. Right.
459
00:15:28,750 --> 00:15:31,810
Exactly. This is your public service announcement brought to you by
460
00:15:31,810 --> 00:15:33,070
heart academy today.
461
00:15:34,090 --> 00:15:34,870
Oh my gosh.
462
00:15:35,380 --> 00:15:35,770
It's funny.
463
00:15:35,770 --> 00:15:36,700
But I mean,
464
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:37,300
we just,
465
00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:38,230
because this,
466
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:39,760
when we say upgrade your environment,
467
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:41,710
we're not saying you need to remodel your home.
468
00:15:41,830 --> 00:15:42,940
Right, right.
469
00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:45,010
We're talking about something small.
470
00:15:45,190 --> 00:15:47,290
What could you do today?
471
00:15:47,410 --> 00:15:48,490
That is small.
472
00:15:48,910 --> 00:15:52,390
But something you see every day that would remind you that
473
00:15:52,390 --> 00:15:53,650
you are worth it,
474
00:15:53,830 --> 00:15:56,260
that you like finer things.
475
00:15:56,410 --> 00:15:58,300
And I want to throw in there too.
476
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,670
You don't have to go purchase something.
477
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,330
This doesn't mean you need to go consume.
478
00:16:01,330 --> 00:16:01,990
It can be.
479
00:16:02,050 --> 00:16:04,630
I am going to clean off my desk,
480
00:16:05,140 --> 00:16:07,210
put everything away in my office,
481
00:16:07,690 --> 00:16:08,350
cleared out.
482
00:16:08,350 --> 00:16:09,490
So you're clearing,
483
00:16:09,580 --> 00:16:12,580
you're clearing the space to upgrade your environment so that you
484
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:14,080
send a message to your brain.
485
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,610
That a champion works here.
486
00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:18,580
I challenge everyone listening to look at your desk right now,
487
00:16:18,610 --> 00:16:19,330
or your space,
488
00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:20,230
wherever you're at your car.
489
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:20,770
Look around,
490
00:16:20,950 --> 00:16:22,150
does a champion live there.
491
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,840
That's a tough question to answer because there are days when
492
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,950
I look at my office and I'm like,
493
00:16:26,950 --> 00:16:29,230
no, a champion does not live here,
494
00:16:29,410 --> 00:16:31,570
but I ask myself that pretty often.
495
00:16:31,660 --> 00:16:32,650
And then I change it.
496
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,030
I clean it.
497
00:16:34,180 --> 00:16:34,960
I clear it.
498
00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:37,720
I put things away because I tell my kids,
499
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,620
I drive them crazy.
500
00:16:38,650 --> 00:16:38,830
I say,
501
00:16:38,830 --> 00:16:41,320
this is a house of champions and champions don't live like
502
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,660
that. So I take it pretty seriously.
503
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:45,100
I know that some people,
504
00:16:45,370 --> 00:16:46,840
because I can sense the doubt.
505
00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:48,160
There are some people who are like,
506
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:51,280
I don't know that this matters or this is really worth
507
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,740
it. Or it would change anything for me.
508
00:16:53,890 --> 00:16:54,370
And again,
509
00:16:54,370 --> 00:16:55,330
I say this all the time,
510
00:16:55,330 --> 00:16:56,860
but what does it hurt to try?
511
00:16:57,190 --> 00:16:59,020
You cannot believe what we're saying,
512
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,300
but what does it hurt to clean your desk or your
513
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:03,640
car or buy a new garbage can or some new socks.
514
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,300
It does not hurt.
515
00:17:04,330 --> 00:17:05,230
Nobody gets hurt.
516
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:07,420
So why not try it just to see if you can
517
00:17:07,450 --> 00:17:08,380
up-level things in your life.
518
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,600
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
519
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:11,770
Absolutely. I know.
520
00:17:11,860 --> 00:17:13,780
I tend to,
521
00:17:14,350 --> 00:17:16,180
I need Marie Kondo.
522
00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:16,780
That's her name?
523
00:17:16,780 --> 00:17:17,890
Right? Marie contests.
524
00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:20,200
I needed her in my life when she came into my
525
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,060
life because I have a,
526
00:17:22,060 --> 00:17:23,410
when I was a teenager,
527
00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:25,150
you used to not be able to see the floor of
528
00:17:25,150 --> 00:17:25,690
my room.
529
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,080
You know,
530
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,560
it was,
531
00:17:26,620 --> 00:17:27,250
it was bad.
532
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:30,400
And my husband is very organized and dare I say,
533
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,600
even a neat freak.
534
00:17:31,630 --> 00:17:34,420
And I tend to be more,
535
00:17:34,690 --> 00:17:37,900
especially before I upgraded my life into my remarkable,
536
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:39,790
to like Kindle like tablet thing.
537
00:17:39,790 --> 00:17:42,610
I used to have like 37 notepads all over my desk
538
00:17:42,610 --> 00:17:45,280
because my brain is always going 8,000
539
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:45,820
miles a minute.
540
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:46,120
And I'm like,
541
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:46,990
I have to write this down.
542
00:17:46,990 --> 00:17:47,800
I have to write that down,
543
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,100
but I can't tear it off because then it'll get lost
544
00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:50,850
or, you know,
545
00:17:51,690 --> 00:17:54,960
misordered. And so now I have to keep these 37 things
546
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:55,680
on my desk.
547
00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:58,140
And when they start to pile up,
548
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,910
you can't concentrate.
549
00:17:59,940 --> 00:18:02,760
I can't even when I am used to kind of that
550
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,200
level of disarray,
551
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,840
when you actually clean it and you put it,
552
00:18:06,930 --> 00:18:07,230
you know,
553
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:10,140
everything in its place and you go through the things and
554
00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:12,060
get rid of the things that you no longer need,
555
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,270
send them off with love to somebody else that they can
556
00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:18,480
use. It just opens up so much space.
557
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,030
And like you're able to approach your work,
558
00:18:21,150 --> 00:18:21,960
your personal life,
559
00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:24,870
all the things you need to do from this space of
560
00:18:25,230 --> 00:18:26,430
just more ease,
561
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:29,490
because your mind is no longer preoccupied with like,
562
00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:30,510
oh my God,
563
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:31,710
I'm going to get crushed by.
564
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:36,050
No, the notebooks are going to kill me because avalanche is
565
00:18:36,050 --> 00:18:36,860
going to fall over.
566
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:38,830
I'm going to be dead on the floor,
567
00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:40,160
buried in my own notebooks.
568
00:18:40,340 --> 00:18:41,690
That's hilarious.
569
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,050
I was actually talking about this recently a few days ago,
570
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,160
inside of elevate.
571
00:18:46,490 --> 00:18:47,330
I was saying,
572
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:51,140
I was talking about clearing space so that you can be
573
00:18:51,170 --> 00:18:57,290
open to receiving because you are actually blocking that process by
574
00:18:57,290 --> 00:18:58,610
keeping things cluttered.
575
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:01,640
So opening the space opens up,
576
00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:04,610
literally physically metaphorically,
577
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:05,480
all of the things,
578
00:19:05,810 --> 00:19:08,510
opening up the space for things to be received,
579
00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:12,740
whether that's money or opportunities or ideas,
580
00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:14,870
whatever that looks like business for you,
581
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:15,890
more clients,
582
00:19:15,950 --> 00:19:18,500
but it has to be cleared in order to do that.
583
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:21,890
And part of that is about upgrading your environment real quick
584
00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:23,870
side story back to the bedroom.
585
00:19:23,870 --> 00:19:24,200
Of course,
586
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,730
I was a normal teenager as well,
587
00:19:25,730 --> 00:19:26,630
where, you know,
588
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:28,220
there was stuff all over the floor of my bedroom,
589
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:30,890
but my dad cured it one day when I was 15
590
00:19:30,890 --> 00:19:31,370
years old,
591
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:34,130
I was out on my first date and he decided to
592
00:19:34,130 --> 00:19:35,810
take everything that was on my floor.
593
00:19:35,810 --> 00:19:36,920
That shouldn't be there.
594
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,380
So this was everything except the bed and the dresser,
595
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:41,030
every single thing.
596
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:44,240
And he threw it out the window into like the front
597
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,910
driveway. My room was on the second story.
598
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,430
So when I came home from my first day,
599
00:19:49,670 --> 00:19:55,670
my stuff was strewn all over the front porch and the
600
00:19:55,670 --> 00:19:58,400
driveway bras hanging in a tree.
601
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,680
Like there's just stuff everywhere.
602
00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:02,570
And yeah,
603
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,550
my dad was pretty hardcore,
604
00:20:04,610 --> 00:20:04,910
you know,
605
00:20:05,030 --> 00:20:05,930
but guess what?
606
00:20:06,050 --> 00:20:07,580
Things were never on my floor again.
607
00:20:11,090 --> 00:20:11,930
Oh, that's messed up.
608
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,340
I mean,
609
00:20:13,340 --> 00:20:14,810
it doesn't come to that for you guys,
610
00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:17,090
but it is effective.
611
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:18,110
I'd have to,
612
00:20:18,110 --> 00:20:19,280
I might have to dig into that.
613
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,600
I have a house full of teenagers.
614
00:20:22,730 --> 00:20:26,570
Okay. Can I share it story about how I turned this?
615
00:20:26,570 --> 00:20:29,570
I had a scarcity moment that I then turned into the
616
00:20:29,570 --> 00:20:31,310
positive by uploading my environment.
617
00:20:31,370 --> 00:20:32,870
So I was visiting with a friend.
618
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:33,830
This is several years ago.
619
00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:36,080
She had just heard her husband had just built their home
620
00:20:36,110 --> 00:20:39,500
in, this was a multimillion dollar.
621
00:20:39,740 --> 00:20:40,250
I mean,
622
00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:41,900
fancy pants home,
623
00:20:41,930 --> 00:20:43,040
like, wow.
624
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,380
And she's giving me a tour and she said,
625
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:46,760
you need to use the restroom.
626
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:47,350
And I said,
627
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:47,890
oh no,
628
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:48,880
good. She said,
629
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,050
no, you need to use the bathroom.
630
00:20:50,050 --> 00:20:50,320
And I said,
631
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,220
no, actually I'm fine.
632
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:51,700
Thank you.
633
00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:52,420
And she said,
634
00:20:52,570 --> 00:20:53,290
use the bathroom.
635
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:53,980
Okay. I was like,
636
00:20:54,730 --> 00:20:55,450
I'll go in the bathroom.
637
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:57,700
So the reason she wanted me to do that is because
638
00:20:57,700 --> 00:20:59,590
they had this new toilet and I was like,
639
00:20:59,590 --> 00:21:03,310
so I sh I used the restroom could not figure out
640
00:21:03,310 --> 00:21:04,300
how to even flush it.
641
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:04,840
Cause it was like,
642
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,100
so it was like,
643
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:07,630
there was a computer screen on the wall.
644
00:21:07,630 --> 00:21:08,380
It was very,
645
00:21:08,380 --> 00:21:10,750
very high tech and the seat was warm.
646
00:21:10,780 --> 00:21:11,890
It was a warm seat.
647
00:21:11,950 --> 00:21:13,390
And so I came out and she was like,
648
00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:14,800
literally standing right outside the door.
649
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,250
And she was like,
650
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,930
what did you think of that experience?
651
00:21:16,930 --> 00:21:17,230
I said,
652
00:21:17,230 --> 00:21:18,280
that's amazing.
653
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,780
Where does I have to have one?
654
00:21:20,020 --> 00:21:21,610
I have to have a toilet like that.
655
00:21:21,670 --> 00:21:24,670
It had the day functions and water temperatures.
656
00:21:24,670 --> 00:21:25,750
And just anything,
657
00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:26,890
everything you can think of.
658
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,720
But I just liked the warm toilet seat.
659
00:21:28,750 --> 00:21:29,590
And she said,
660
00:21:29,620 --> 00:21:31,120
well, it's kind of a long story.
661
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:32,920
Anyway, we ended up getting it for half price,
662
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:35,020
but the full price is $5,000.
663
00:21:35,230 --> 00:21:37,090
And I looked at her and I said,
664
00:21:37,330 --> 00:21:41,080
$5,000 for a toilet that I could buy at Lowe's for
665
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:41,770
one 50.
666
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,180
Yes. That is not automated.
667
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,820
I just don't ever see that happening.
668
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,080
And she said,
669
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,430
yeah, but it's worth it.
670
00:21:48,460 --> 00:21:48,800
Isn't it.
671
00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:49,060
You know,
672
00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:49,420
she's like,
673
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:50,380
we only have one in the house.
674
00:21:50,380 --> 00:21:51,880
We didn't get them in every bathroom.
675
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,060
You know,
676
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:52,870
the kids don't have one.
677
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:53,380
It's just us.
678
00:21:53,380 --> 00:21:53,920
And I was like,
679
00:21:54,010 --> 00:21:54,640
okay, you know,
680
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,420
and I kind of laughed.
681
00:21:55,420 --> 00:21:56,350
And on my way home,
682
00:21:56,650 --> 00:21:59,680
I felt really dejected.
683
00:21:59,740 --> 00:22:04,270
Like I was experiencing some serious scarcity because I thought I'll
684
00:22:04,270 --> 00:22:06,370
never be able to afford a $5,000
685
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:07,690
toilet. And even if I could,
686
00:22:07,690 --> 00:22:08,230
would I buy it?
687
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:08,950
I don't know.
688
00:22:08,980 --> 00:22:09,520
But I just,
689
00:22:09,550 --> 00:22:10,330
it was negative.
690
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:12,400
It was a negative experience for me,
691
00:22:12,490 --> 00:22:13,620
not around her or that,
692
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:13,870
you know,
693
00:22:13,870 --> 00:22:15,610
just, it was my own emotion.
694
00:22:15,670 --> 00:22:16,570
My emotions were,
695
00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:19,180
yeah. I was triggered into my own stories.
696
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:21,940
So a couple of days later I was searching on the
697
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:26,320
interwebs and I found a heated toilet seat on Amazon.
698
00:22:26,350 --> 00:22:29,050
I'm pretty sure the price was $119.
699
00:22:29,410 --> 00:22:30,160
And I thought,
700
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,630
I want that toilet seat.
701
00:22:31,690 --> 00:22:32,950
I like to heat a toilet seat.
702
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:34,660
So I put it on my Christmas list.
703
00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:37,660
And that year there's this hilarious picture of me holding my
704
00:22:37,660 --> 00:22:38,800
brand new toilet seat.
705
00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:40,000
So funny.
706
00:22:40,090 --> 00:22:43,510
I love that toilet seat and every single person that comes
707
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:43,960
to my house,
708
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,170
I'm like,
709
00:22:44,170 --> 00:22:45,190
make sure you use the bathroom,
710
00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:46,240
go into my bathroom.
711
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:48,760
And they all end up buying it this hundred and 19.
712
00:22:48,820 --> 00:22:49,900
Oh, it has a nightlight too.
713
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:51,370
So if you go to the bathroom in the middle of
714
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:51,730
the night,
715
00:22:51,970 --> 00:22:54,700
has this really pretty subdued blue light.
716
00:22:54,730 --> 00:22:57,580
It's not obnoxious and you sit down and it's warm and
717
00:22:57,580 --> 00:22:58,060
it's nice.
718
00:22:58,150 --> 00:23:00,640
And I love have you used that toilet seat when you've
719
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,000
been here?
720
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:02,100
Yeah, absolutely.
721
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:04,920
I was first introduced to the heated toilet seat in Japan.
722
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:07,440
They have heated toilet seats everywhere there.
723
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:08,520
And they're amazing.
724
00:23:08,580 --> 00:23:11,040
And if I still lived in Pittsburgh where we had a
725
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:11,700
long winter,
726
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:13,050
I would 100% have one.
727
00:23:13,230 --> 00:23:15,090
Yes. I would actually need an air condition,
728
00:23:15,090 --> 00:23:17,160
toilet seat down there.
729
00:23:17,230 --> 00:23:19,800
Right. But I didn't even leave it on the summer.
730
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:21,750
Like it's supposed to be 88 degrees today.
731
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:22,230
Am I tilt?
732
00:23:22,290 --> 00:23:24,540
Toilet seat is turned on low as three sightings and it's
733
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:24,930
turned off.
734
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:25,350
But anyway,
735
00:23:25,380 --> 00:23:27,390
my point to that is I love that toilet seat.
736
00:23:27,420 --> 00:23:29,220
I experienced it multiple times a day.
737
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:30,540
It was an upgrade for me.
738
00:23:30,540 --> 00:23:32,430
And it made me feel really good and abundance.
739
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:33,930
It up-leveled my environment.
740
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,680
So I took what started out as a scarcity negative kind
741
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,180
of bummed out situation.
742
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,020
And I,
743
00:23:40,150 --> 00:23:43,890
I made it work for me and it actually became something
744
00:23:43,890 --> 00:23:45,920
of abundance and again,
745
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,720
upgrading and upleveling mind.
746
00:23:48,140 --> 00:23:50,330
And why we're here by the way.
747
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:52,790
Did I not just share a,
748
00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:55,640
another toilet story with you a few weeks ago?
749
00:23:55,970 --> 00:23:56,330
Oh yeah.
750
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:57,040
Yeah, you did.
751
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,730
And then I realized that somebody in my house bought the
752
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:02,860
same thing that you used to have.
753
00:24:02,890 --> 00:24:04,090
And I was like,
754
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:04,690
what the heck?
755
00:24:05,890 --> 00:24:06,430
Nope. Okay.
756
00:24:06,430 --> 00:24:07,450
So I have this thing.
757
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,250
Well, we all have things around money,
758
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,210
weird things maybe,
759
00:24:10,210 --> 00:24:12,190
but there are things I just don't like to spend money
760
00:24:12,190 --> 00:24:14,020
on. And one of them is toilet bowl cleaner.
761
00:24:14,050 --> 00:24:17,290
So I will go buy the cheapest toilet bowl cleaner because
762
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:18,580
he wants to spend their money on that.
763
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:20,140
Right. I can think of a million other things.
764
00:24:20,140 --> 00:24:21,580
I'd rather save that for.
765
00:24:21,610 --> 00:24:24,490
So I recently bought another really cheap,
766
00:24:24,670 --> 00:24:26,410
like I think I was at the dollar general.
767
00:24:26,410 --> 00:24:29,260
I'm looking for in the dollar section for the cheapest toilet
768
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:29,650
bowl cleaner.
769
00:24:29,650 --> 00:24:29,950
They have,
770
00:24:29,950 --> 00:24:30,640
I come home,
771
00:24:30,670 --> 00:24:31,540
I'm cleaning the toilet.
772
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:32,500
It's like water.
773
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:32,830
It's like,
774
00:24:32,830 --> 00:24:33,400
you might as well,
775
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,600
not even be using toilet bowl.
776
00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:35,560
And it stained it.
777
00:24:35,770 --> 00:24:40,630
It literally stained my toilet and I was standing there and
778
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:42,700
I, I actually Vox heard you.
779
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:43,450
And I said,
780
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,400
I cannot believe that I am tolerating a toilet bowl cleaner.
781
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,900
That doesn't smell that great.
782
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:51,820
Cause I love the smell of bleach in my bathroom.
783
00:24:51,820 --> 00:24:51,970
You know?
784
00:24:51,970 --> 00:24:53,110
Cause it like means it's clean.
785
00:24:53,140 --> 00:24:54,100
It doesn't even smell that.
786
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,170
Great. And it stayed in my toilet,
787
00:24:56,170 --> 00:24:56,740
like I'm done,
788
00:24:56,770 --> 00:24:56,980
I'm done.
789
00:24:57,010 --> 00:24:58,060
I was so mad.
790
00:24:58,060 --> 00:24:58,420
It was,
791
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,910
I'd literally got in my car and what,
792
00:25:00,910 --> 00:25:03,010
and bought the brand name,
793
00:25:03,010 --> 00:25:04,150
the most expensive,
794
00:25:04,150 --> 00:25:04,450
which is,
795
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,400
I think Lysol in my Walmart,
796
00:25:06,430 --> 00:25:09,040
the toilet bowl cleaner that smells like bleach.
797
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:11,110
That probably probably cause as bleach.
798
00:25:11,170 --> 00:25:12,310
And I love it.
799
00:25:12,430 --> 00:25:14,110
And I sent you a picture,
800
00:25:14,890 --> 00:25:17,410
threw the old stuff away and I bought the good toilet
801
00:25:17,410 --> 00:25:17,770
bowl cleaner.
802
00:25:18,130 --> 00:25:19,030
We're gonna have to live this way,
803
00:25:19,030 --> 00:25:21,850
Nicole. I don't have to live with cheap toilet bowl cleaner.
804
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,040
I understand.
805
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,830
Yeah. I always got mine at Costco with like the good
806
00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:28,960
stuff. And it was like deep blue and smelled.
807
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:29,770
Good. Agreed.
808
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,560
And somehow we needed one extra one and somebody picked up
809
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,670
the cheap stuff and I say,
810
00:25:33,670 --> 00:25:34,540
you have boxer picture.
811
00:25:34,540 --> 00:25:34,810
I'm like,
812
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,190
who brought this into my house?<inaudible>
813
00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:40,090
don't bring this into my house.
814
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,580
So something simple like that could be.
815
00:25:42,580 --> 00:25:45,700
And also I have one more story to share on upgrading
816
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:48,730
is I was working with some of our clients actually last
817
00:25:48,730 --> 00:25:50,410
year on this topic.
818
00:25:50,410 --> 00:25:52,900
So we gave them this challenge and I wanted a new
819
00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:55,630
vacuum cleaner and I wanted one of those Bissell cross waves
820
00:25:55,630 --> 00:25:56,260
that has,
821
00:25:56,290 --> 00:25:56,530
you know,
822
00:25:56,530 --> 00:25:59,200
that like mops and instructions at the same time.
823
00:25:59,530 --> 00:26:01,150
And they're just over $300.
824
00:26:01,450 --> 00:26:02,020
And I was like,
825
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,870
oh, he wants to spend $300 on a stupid,
826
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:05,770
okay. But I was like,
827
00:26:05,770 --> 00:26:07,570
no, I'm trying to teach this stuff.
828
00:26:07,570 --> 00:26:08,500
So I have to live it.
829
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:10,000
So I'm going to order this.
830
00:26:10,030 --> 00:26:10,990
It's fine.
831
00:26:10,990 --> 00:26:12,040
Whatever, you know,
832
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,100
so I order this Bissel Crosswave it comes,
833
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:16,990
I actually take a photo of me with it.
834
00:26:16,990 --> 00:26:18,070
I posted in our group,
835
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,900
this was our hair of the dog group.
836
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,950
And I said,
837
00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:22,270
I upgraded my environment.
838
00:26:22,270 --> 00:26:23,380
Yeah. It was expensive.
839
00:26:23,410 --> 00:26:26,350
Okay. That very day I got a letter in the mail
840
00:26:26,350 --> 00:26:29,800
from the I R S now I don't know how that's
841
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,300
always a little nerve wracking.
842
00:26:31,330 --> 00:26:33,640
Although I figure if it doesn't come certify,
843
00:26:33,650 --> 00:26:34,690
then it should be okay.
844
00:26:36,150 --> 00:26:36,880
It was,
845
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,450
it was in the type of envelope that your very first
846
00:26:40,450 --> 00:26:41,560
thought is going to be,
847
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,040
oh crap.
848
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,820
I owe them money because there's like a return envelope in
849
00:26:44,820 --> 00:26:45,450
there. You know?
850
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:48,450
And I had this moment of like,
851
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,110
oh my gosh,
852
00:26:49,110 --> 00:26:50,190
how much do I owe them?
853
00:26:50,190 --> 00:26:51,660
Or something got messed up.
854
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:52,440
And then I was like,
855
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:52,830
stop, stop,
856
00:26:52,830 --> 00:26:54,030
stop. Literally out loud.
857
00:26:54,030 --> 00:26:54,300
I said,
858
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:55,740
this, this is a check.
859
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,070
I am so amazing that the IRS is sending me money
860
00:26:59,130 --> 00:27:00,600
because they screw things up.
861
00:27:00,630 --> 00:27:01,590
That's how Austin's.
862
00:27:01,590 --> 00:27:02,460
And I said this,
863
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,230
I repeated this out loud,
864
00:27:04,380 --> 00:27:07,620
multiple times prior to opening it because I was like,
865
00:27:07,650 --> 00:27:09,050
willingness. Like I'm no,
866
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:09,870
no, they don't.
867
00:27:09,870 --> 00:27:10,800
They're not asking me for money.
868
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:12,210
They're actually sending me a check.
869
00:27:12,330 --> 00:27:16,410
Okay. I've realized how far fetched this is as I'm saying
870
00:27:16,410 --> 00:27:17,430
it. But I did it anyway.
871
00:27:17,790 --> 00:27:22,860
I opened this envelope and I had overpaid on something and
872
00:27:22,860 --> 00:27:25,680
it was a check for $300,
873
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:29,040
which was the same price as that vacuum cleaner,
874
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,240
I had just purchased.
875
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,080
That's so funny.
876
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,670
I can't even make this up.
877
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,580
So I took a photo of it and I said to
878
00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:36,360
the people,
879
00:27:36,420 --> 00:27:37,440
our hair or the dog friends,
880
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:37,920
I was like,
881
00:27:37,980 --> 00:27:41,610
you guys will not even believe this is how it works.
882
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:43,140
This is abundance.
883
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:43,980
And action.
884
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,160
I took the leap before that check came,
885
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:49,050
it can't be the opposite.
886
00:27:49,170 --> 00:27:50,790
You can't wait for that check to come.
887
00:27:50,850 --> 00:27:51,450
And then say,
888
00:27:51,450 --> 00:27:53,310
I'm going to buy the $300 vacuum cleaner.
889
00:27:53,460 --> 00:27:56,010
You need to upgrade Uplevel your environment,
890
00:27:56,010 --> 00:27:56,940
find a way to do it.
891
00:27:56,940 --> 00:27:58,440
And then things start flowing.
892
00:27:58,470 --> 00:28:00,060
Isn't that an amazing story?
893
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:00,950
It is.
894
00:28:00,950 --> 00:28:01,580
I love it.
895
00:28:01,580 --> 00:28:04,010
And I've heard stories like that left and right all the
896
00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:07,520
time. So this is a fairly common that things like that
897
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,270
happen that way.
898
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,520
And we actually have though,
899
00:28:10,550 --> 00:28:13,460
do we want to do our upgrade quiz to get people
900
00:28:13,490 --> 00:28:17,600
starting to think about things that they can upgrade or where
901
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,290
they currently are in their life for different areas?
902
00:28:21,650 --> 00:28:22,700
Yeah, absolutely.
903
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:25,880
So we have different categories and different ways that you can
904
00:28:25,910 --> 00:28:26,750
Uplevel your life,
905
00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:27,890
upgrade your environment,
906
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,560
but you could do something in your house in general.
907
00:28:30,590 --> 00:28:34,340
Now, if you're feeling really into this and you're like,
908
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,190
yeah, I'm going to upgrade my location in my neighborhood.
909
00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:39,770
I'm out of here then.
910
00:28:39,770 --> 00:28:40,400
Good for you.
911
00:28:40,550 --> 00:28:42,080
That's actually something that you can do.
912
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,940
I upgraded my location.
913
00:28:44,060 --> 00:28:44,630
You sure.
914
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:47,390
Now you sure dead.
915
00:28:47,390 --> 00:28:49,400
So Pittsburgh to North Carolina,
916
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,120
big move,
917
00:28:50,150 --> 00:28:50,660
but you know,
918
00:28:50,660 --> 00:28:51,650
you could your,
919
00:28:51,740 --> 00:28:52,310
your house.
920
00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:54,140
If we're talking about your house in general.
921
00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:55,400
Yeah. You could move,
922
00:28:55,580 --> 00:28:57,770
but you could clean out your garage.
923
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,780
You could get a new garbage can,
924
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:03,470
you could maybe replace a chair that is worn.
925
00:29:03,470 --> 00:29:05,750
You could do something in your kitchen to,
926
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:07,490
you could buy a new paper towel holder,
927
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,560
this like really pretty,
928
00:29:08,990 --> 00:29:09,260
you know,
929
00:29:09,260 --> 00:29:11,240
if you just have like something normal and I mean,
930
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,590
there are a million different things,
931
00:29:12,590 --> 00:29:13,460
just look around,
932
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,100
just look around and find something that feels within reach to
933
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:17,630
you. So if it's a stretch,
934
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,040
it might not be the right thing.
935
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,120
So, you know,
936
00:29:20,180 --> 00:29:22,120
moving your neighborhood might not be the right thing for you.
937
00:29:22,340 --> 00:29:24,950
I have one for people in our audience.
938
00:29:25,220 --> 00:29:26,510
How about that dog bed?
939
00:29:26,510 --> 00:29:27,350
That doesn't match your time.
940
00:29:28,940 --> 00:29:29,690
That's a good one.
941
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:30,630
That's a good one.
942
00:29:30,740 --> 00:29:32,840
Where that dog bed that you've watched a million times,
943
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,200
but still,
944
00:29:34,220 --> 00:29:35,060
huh? Yep.
945
00:29:35,270 --> 00:29:36,080
Yeah. Or has the whole,
946
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,300
actually the one in my office you've inspired me.
947
00:29:38,570 --> 00:29:40,070
Next time I go to home goods,
948
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:43,390
I'm going to upgrade Zoe's dog bed because I like the
949
00:29:43,390 --> 00:29:44,230
colors and everything,
950
00:29:44,230 --> 00:29:46,000
but it is so dirty and gross and there's a hole
951
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:46,270
in it.
952
00:29:46,330 --> 00:29:47,560
So her office,
953
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,610
dog beds getting upgraded.
954
00:29:48,930 --> 00:29:49,950
Good, good for Zoe.
955
00:29:49,950 --> 00:29:51,540
Good for you because it'll make,
956
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:52,680
because you see it every day,
957
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,330
Nicole you're in that room every day.
958
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,750
Right? So that's a few things just in general for your
959
00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:59,700
home. But I had mentioned your kitchen,
960
00:29:59,730 --> 00:30:00,030
you know,
961
00:30:00,030 --> 00:30:03,300
could you just do a deep clean of your kitchen that,
962
00:30:03,690 --> 00:30:04,410
and when you see it,
963
00:30:04,410 --> 00:30:06,480
you feel happy on that.
964
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,790
I know I it's like the socks and the underwear.
965
00:30:08,790 --> 00:30:10,230
And that's your baking sheets.
966
00:30:10,860 --> 00:30:12,480
And did you know when you go to home goods,
967
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,550
they're like 10 bucks to get new baking sheets.
968
00:30:14,550 --> 00:30:15,000
And you're like,
969
00:30:15,030 --> 00:30:17,220
why have I been using these stained,
970
00:30:17,250 --> 00:30:21,300
sticky, gross baking sheets for so long when new ones are
971
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:23,970
$10 and then they are like,
972
00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:28,530
the, the quality has been improved so much in the 15
973
00:30:28,530 --> 00:30:30,090
years since I bought the other ones.
974
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,400
Like things don't stick to them.
975
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:34,200
You just reminded me,
976
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,070
as you were saying that,
977
00:30:35,070 --> 00:30:35,310
you know,
978
00:30:35,310 --> 00:30:38,730
what we do is we buy really cheap glasses that we
979
00:30:38,730 --> 00:30:39,390
drink from,
980
00:30:39,870 --> 00:30:42,900
and then they get marred or spotty,
981
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:43,380
you know,
982
00:30:43,470 --> 00:30:46,500
I'm wondering if I should upgrade our drinkware.
983
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:49,470
Oh, oh yeah.
984
00:30:49,740 --> 00:30:50,670
That's a good idea.
985
00:30:50,790 --> 00:30:52,920
Okay. Let's move into the bathroom.
986
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,970
I talked about my garbage,
987
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,130
can I talked about the toilet bowl cleaner,
988
00:30:56,220 --> 00:30:58,380
but what about your toothbrush or toothpaste?
989
00:30:58,620 --> 00:31:00,330
Is it time to do,
990
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,360
to do something because that's actually something you use multiple times
991
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:03,780
a day.
992
00:31:03,810 --> 00:31:04,230
And again,
993
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:07,440
you're sending yourself a message about what you will tolerate.
994
00:31:07,470 --> 00:31:08,880
Ah, here's a good one for me.
995
00:31:09,050 --> 00:31:09,690
Few years ago,
996
00:31:09,690 --> 00:31:11,610
I upgraded my shampoo and conditioner.
997
00:31:11,820 --> 00:31:14,880
So I used to buy just like the cheapest,
998
00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:15,330
you know,
999
00:31:15,450 --> 00:31:17,070
whatever. Yeah.
1000
00:31:17,130 --> 00:31:19,770
And it was not doing my hair any favors and my
1001
00:31:19,770 --> 00:31:21,540
stylist would often recommend,
1002
00:31:21,540 --> 00:31:23,700
but I thought she's just trying to sell me,
1003
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:23,970
you know?
1004
00:31:25,290 --> 00:31:26,760
No. Well she is trying to sell me,
1005
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,590
but she's probably also trying to help me.
1006
00:31:28,830 --> 00:31:31,560
So I upgraded to really fancy salon,
1007
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,150
grade shampoo and conditioner.
1008
00:31:33,150 --> 00:31:33,810
And Nicole,
1009
00:31:34,140 --> 00:31:36,600
that was probably three or four years ago.
1010
00:31:36,810 --> 00:31:40,920
My hair is a million times better than it was back
1011
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,270
then because of the upgrade.
1012
00:31:42,270 --> 00:31:44,640
So anything like toiletry wise,
1013
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,170
your body wash,
1014
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:47,610
anything like that?
1015
00:31:48,030 --> 00:31:51,420
Towels, do you have towels that are stringy and gross and
1016
00:31:51,420 --> 00:31:56,070
stained? I'll do definitely stay.
1017
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,160
Yeah, definitely saying,
1018
00:31:59,220 --> 00:32:02,130
okay, let's move into the bedroom ideas in the bedroom.
1019
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:05,700
Could you upgrade your pillows or your sheets or maybe get
1020
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:06,630
a mattress topper?
1021
00:32:06,630 --> 00:32:09,780
So my mom recently purchased the yeah,
1022
00:32:09,810 --> 00:32:13,350
go. I did this recently with a mattress topper,
1023
00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:14,220
so our best,
1024
00:32:14,220 --> 00:32:14,970
a little bit older.
1025
00:32:15,030 --> 00:32:16,020
And we would go through like,
1026
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,030
ah, it's time to upgrade our mattress,
1027
00:32:18,030 --> 00:32:19,080
like 15 years old.
1028
00:32:19,110 --> 00:32:20,430
I think you're supposed to upgrade them every eight,
1029
00:32:20,430 --> 00:32:21,330
which seems excessive.
1030
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:21,900
But anyway,
1031
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:23,220
it was starting to get to the point where I'm like,
1032
00:32:23,290 --> 00:32:23,850
I don't know,
1033
00:32:23,850 --> 00:32:24,840
it's time to upgrade.
1034
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:26,790
And I was at Costco and they had this like big
1035
00:32:26,820 --> 00:32:28,230
foam topper and we bought it.
1036
00:32:28,230 --> 00:32:28,410
I'm like,
1037
00:32:28,410 --> 00:32:28,860
what the heck?
1038
00:32:28,860 --> 00:32:30,510
It's $120,
1039
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:31,380
maybe 150.
1040
00:32:31,710 --> 00:32:32,520
We'll just test it out.
1041
00:32:33,030 --> 00:32:35,970
It is the most amazing thing you slept on it.
1042
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:36,880
When you were down here.
1043
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:38,460
Most we put guts,
1044
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:39,030
we got one for the,
1045
00:32:39,470 --> 00:32:41,150
and we decided we're only going to put it on the
1046
00:32:41,150 --> 00:32:43,730
guest room bed for people that we want to stay longer.
1047
00:32:43,730 --> 00:32:45,710
And the people that we don't want to stay too long,
1048
00:32:45,710 --> 00:32:46,460
we will take it off.
1049
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,350
I'm just really been on all the time.
1050
00:32:48,350 --> 00:32:49,070
He's so funny.
1051
00:32:49,670 --> 00:32:50,300
But that,
1052
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:51,590
and then the other thing that I had,
1053
00:32:51,590 --> 00:32:57,320
the hardest time finding our sheets that were quality in lasted
1054
00:32:57,380 --> 00:32:59,120
and were also comfortable.
1055
00:32:59,270 --> 00:33:03,140
I don't know why it's been so flipping difficult and it
1056
00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:04,250
will, here's the other thing,
1057
00:33:04,490 --> 00:33:05,000
it was like,
1058
00:33:05,060 --> 00:33:05,780
ah, you know,
1059
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,670
you're spending a hundred dollars for sheets.
1060
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:09,140
80 bucks is king size bed,
1061
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,940
80 bucks for like basic sheets.
1062
00:33:10,970 --> 00:33:13,100
And they were never that comfortable and they would always get
1063
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,600
pilly and they would always get gross.
1064
00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:16,400
And then my mom is like,
1065
00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:18,230
oh, you need the LLB and sheets.
1066
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,220
Like really?
1067
00:33:19,460 --> 00:33:21,770
Yeah. They were a bit more expensive.
1068
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,390
It was like $250 first.
1069
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:24,860
Wow. It took me,
1070
00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:26,600
it took me a while to be like,
1071
00:33:27,290 --> 00:33:31,070
but here's the thing I had already spent like $300 on
1072
00:33:31,070 --> 00:33:32,870
flipping sheets by three different beers.
1073
00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:36,920
And so then I finally just bit the bullet and I
1074
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,810
got those for our room and I got some for the
1075
00:33:38,810 --> 00:33:43,130
guestroom and they are deepest sheets I have ever slept in.
1076
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,900
They are so comfortable.
1077
00:33:44,930 --> 00:33:45,800
So cheap.
1078
00:33:46,300 --> 00:33:46,870
Yep. Yeah.
1079
00:33:46,870 --> 00:33:48,730
So between the mattress topper and the sheets,
1080
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,570
you're doing great.
1081
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,160
My mom did the same thing recently.
1082
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,570
She had his first class.
1083
00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:53,170
It is.
1084
00:33:53,170 --> 00:33:54,010
And I mean,
1085
00:33:54,010 --> 00:33:55,090
you spend a lot of time there,
1086
00:33:55,270 --> 00:33:57,640
hopefully hopefully seven to nine hours per night.
1087
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,060
You know what I mean?
1088
00:33:58,060 --> 00:33:59,770
That's a big chunk of your neck.
1089
00:34:00,190 --> 00:34:01,630
My mom purchased the,
1090
00:34:01,780 --> 00:34:03,610
my pillow pillow.
1091
00:34:03,790 --> 00:34:04,990
Oh, she loved the pillow.
1092
00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:07,960
So she bought the mattress topper and she has been raving
1093
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:08,320
about that.
1094
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,160
She is 75 years old has really severe arthritis and is
1095
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:12,940
in a lot of pain,
1096
00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:14,020
multiple back surgeries.
1097
00:34:14,020 --> 00:34:14,560
And she said,
1098
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,430
this has really,
1099
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:16,240
really helped her.
1100
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:20,530
So could you upgrade something in your bedding?
1101
00:34:20,530 --> 00:34:23,260
The answer is probably yes.
1102
00:34:24,220 --> 00:34:25,870
Okay. Moving on.
1103
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:29,290
What does your office or your business space look like?
1104
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,300
If you have one,
1105
00:34:31,690 --> 00:34:32,080
does it,
1106
00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:33,100
does it,
1107
00:34:33,490 --> 00:34:33,970
you know,
1108
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,480
invoke a sense of peace and calm or does it trigger
1109
00:34:37,780 --> 00:34:39,790
you crazy?
1110
00:34:40,060 --> 00:34:41,710
I've got one for the office.
1111
00:34:42,010 --> 00:34:45,820
How many of you are using hodgepodge random free pens that
1112
00:34:45,820 --> 00:34:46,660
you got anywhere?
1113
00:34:46,690 --> 00:34:49,360
Or have you found pens that you love and you just
1114
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,410
bought a pack of 10.
1115
00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:52,600
So you actually had pens that you,
1116
00:34:53,380 --> 00:34:56,590
I did this recently because I have cheap pens,
1117
00:34:56,650 --> 00:34:57,490
a million of them.
1118
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,390
I hate them all.
1119
00:34:58,450 --> 00:34:59,620
So here is my new thing,
1120
00:34:59,620 --> 00:35:01,810
Nicole, whenever I pick up a pen and I start to
1121
00:35:01,810 --> 00:35:02,440
write and I hate it,
1122
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,640
I immediately throw it away.
1123
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:04,720
I don't even question it.
1124
00:35:04,750 --> 00:35:07,090
It just goes in the garbage and I read it and
1125
00:35:07,090 --> 00:35:08,890
I recently found the Sharpie S gel,
1126
00:35:08,890 --> 00:35:09,580
which I love.
1127
00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:12,130
And then I found out I could brand it and put
1128
00:35:12,130 --> 00:35:12,880
my logo on it.
1129
00:35:13,030 --> 00:35:13,930
So I ordered,
1130
00:35:14,420 --> 00:35:16,180
it was either 150 or 300.
1131
00:35:16,210 --> 00:35:16,930
It was a lot.
1132
00:35:17,170 --> 00:35:18,520
I have a lot of these in that's.
1133
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,590
All I have are my branded pens.
1134
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,850
So I,
1135
00:35:22,030 --> 00:35:23,560
and, and I think you should put,
1136
00:35:23,590 --> 00:35:26,530
I think everybody should put their logo on something because it
1137
00:35:26,530 --> 00:35:28,120
makes you feel legit.
1138
00:35:28,420 --> 00:35:30,340
Like my business has a pen,
1139
00:35:30,340 --> 00:35:30,610
you know,
1140
00:35:30,610 --> 00:35:31,390
I must be,
1141
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:33,640
I must be the big timer at the very least the
1142
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,210
real deal.
1143
00:35:34,210 --> 00:35:36,250
So I have these pens everywhere.
1144
00:35:36,250 --> 00:35:37,770
And then you the same pens,
1145
00:35:37,770 --> 00:35:40,740
right? You got shirts for doing that legwork.
1146
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:41,820
Yeah. You're welcome.
1147
00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:42,420
You're welcome.
1148
00:35:42,450 --> 00:35:43,110
It was worth it.
1149
00:35:43,380 --> 00:35:45,480
Okay. Your chair and your office.
1150
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,740
What does your desk look like?
1151
00:35:46,740 --> 00:35:48,960
Could you upgrade your decor?
1152
00:35:49,110 --> 00:35:51,840
Could you organize your power cables?
1153
00:35:52,050 --> 00:35:53,760
Are they just all over the place?
1154
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,440
Could you purchase side?
1155
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,870
No. I highly recommend having a ups device with your machines.
1156
00:36:00,870 --> 00:36:03,180
That's an uninterruptible power supply,
1157
00:36:03,210 --> 00:36:04,650
not just surge protection,
1158
00:36:04,650 --> 00:36:07,260
but actually has a battery backup so that when your power
1159
00:36:07,260 --> 00:36:07,800
goes off,
1160
00:36:07,830 --> 00:36:11,760
your machines stay on until you can safely shut them down.
1161
00:36:12,750 --> 00:36:14,460
Could you get one of those?
1162
00:36:14,490 --> 00:36:16,290
Yeah. I have one under my desk,
1163
00:36:16,290 --> 00:36:17,550
so the power goes off.
1164
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:18,810
It just tells me,
1165
00:36:18,810 --> 00:36:19,110
you know,
1166
00:36:19,140 --> 00:36:20,010
I think I have,
1167
00:36:20,190 --> 00:36:20,610
I think it,
1168
00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:23,100
I think it will power everything for 30 minutes or an
1169
00:36:23,130 --> 00:36:27,210
hour. So I could actually even keep working until I shut
1170
00:36:27,210 --> 00:36:27,510
it down.
1171
00:36:27,690 --> 00:36:30,810
And we put important things on these uninterruptible power supplies,
1172
00:36:30,810 --> 00:36:32,580
like my iMac and the internet.
1173
00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:37,110
I don't literally care About the food.
1174
00:36:37,230 --> 00:36:38,190
Nothing else matters.
1175
00:36:38,190 --> 00:36:39,480
Can I get on the internet?
1176
00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:43,410
So a lot of people let their cables get in disarray.
1177
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,330
If you go to target and buy,
1178
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,660
even just a surge protector of fancy looking,
1179
00:36:48,990 --> 00:36:51,210
my daughter and I she's moving into her dorm next week.
1180
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:54,180
And we were looking for a power supply for her room
1181
00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:54,630
and she's like,
1182
00:36:54,660 --> 00:36:56,220
oh, I'm going to get this one because it's pretty.
1183
00:36:56,370 --> 00:36:56,790
And I was like,
1184
00:36:56,820 --> 00:36:57,510
well, that's,
1185
00:36:57,630 --> 00:36:57,960
you know,
1186
00:36:58,260 --> 00:36:58,950
that's fair.
1187
00:36:59,130 --> 00:36:59,370
I mean,
1188
00:36:59,370 --> 00:37:00,270
if it looks nice,
1189
00:37:00,450 --> 00:37:02,670
it will make you feel better.
1190
00:37:03,060 --> 00:37:04,980
And speaking of your office,
1191
00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:08,130
what about the tools you use for your business?
1192
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:09,270
You know,
1193
00:37:09,270 --> 00:37:11,520
the, the software,
1194
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,230
if you use business cards,
1195
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,330
do you have a printer to,
1196
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,500
oh, how about this one?
1197
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,840
Everybody's on zoom these days.
1198
00:37:19,050 --> 00:37:20,280
Do you have a decent microphone?
1199
00:37:21,330 --> 00:37:25,230
Even if you're not a podcaster or a leader,
1200
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:27,810
you are still getting on zoom calls.
1201
00:37:27,850 --> 00:37:32,550
Are you using the mic on your earbuds or just even
1202
00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:33,540
your machine?
1203
00:37:33,780 --> 00:37:37,620
You can pick up a really good mic for less than
1204
00:37:37,620 --> 00:37:40,680
a hundred dollars and it really improves your audio quality.
1205
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,020
So that's a really nice upgrade.
1206
00:37:43,980 --> 00:37:44,910
And your background,
1207
00:37:44,910 --> 00:37:46,380
if you're on zoom with clients,
1208
00:37:46,620 --> 00:37:47,370
what's behind you,
1209
00:37:47,490 --> 00:37:48,570
what is behind you?
1210
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,760
You can change that virtual,
1211
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,290
but I don't think it looks as nice,
1212
00:37:52,350 --> 00:37:53,950
but yeah.
1213
00:37:54,150 --> 00:37:55,140
What is behind you?
1214
00:37:55,140 --> 00:37:56,520
Okay, moving on.
1215
00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:58,050
We talked about this a little bit,
1216
00:37:58,050 --> 00:37:59,340
but self care.
1217
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:01,860
So we were talking about toiletries and products,
1218
00:38:02,970 --> 00:38:06,750
but this is probably one of the biggest,
1219
00:38:06,930 --> 00:38:11,010
because here's why even if you up level your environment,
1220
00:38:11,010 --> 00:38:12,690
you upgrade a buy,
1221
00:38:12,810 --> 00:38:13,110
you know,
1222
00:38:13,110 --> 00:38:14,100
a purchase.
1223
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,440
When you do it for yourself,
1224
00:38:16,890 --> 00:38:18,960
it sends an entirely different,
1225
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,170
new level of a message to your brain.
1226
00:38:21,190 --> 00:38:21,450
It's like,
1227
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:26,340
whoa, you really are worth it because you just spent money
1228
00:38:26,340 --> 00:38:27,060
on you.
1229
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,720
So are you used to buying something really cheap for yourself?
1230
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:32,550
Like your shampoo or conditioner,
1231
00:38:32,550 --> 00:38:37,570
or maybe your skincare that you could splurge and buy something
1232
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:40,920
that's a little more luxurious and it doesn't even have to
1233
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:41,880
be buy something.
1234
00:38:42,060 --> 00:38:42,660
What does,
1235
00:38:42,660 --> 00:38:44,430
what you choose to put in your mouth and what you
1236
00:38:44,430 --> 00:38:45,120
choose to eat,
1237
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,110
say about your,
1238
00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:49,340
your, your self care or exercise.
1239
00:38:49,380 --> 00:38:50,940
Wow. Wow.
1240
00:38:50,940 --> 00:38:52,170
That's a really good point.
1241
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,010
I hadn't thought of that.
1242
00:38:53,010 --> 00:38:53,790
So your diet.
1243
00:38:54,210 --> 00:38:55,950
Yeah. Cause truly I'm,
1244
00:38:56,070 --> 00:38:56,520
you know,
1245
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,470
without, and we've all heard it before,
1246
00:38:58,470 --> 00:39:01,050
but until you end up in the situation where you don't
1247
00:39:01,050 --> 00:39:01,590
have it,
1248
00:39:01,710 --> 00:39:02,280
like, you know,
1249
00:39:02,310 --> 00:39:03,150
without our health,
1250
00:39:03,150 --> 00:39:03,600
I mean,
1251
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,020
we don't need our business or anything else that these upgrades
1252
00:39:07,020 --> 00:39:09,030
that we're doing because our health is by far our most
1253
00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:09,660
important thing.
1254
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:12,450
And how many of us put that on the back burner
1255
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:12,990
and say,
1256
00:39:13,020 --> 00:39:14,730
oh, I'll start exercising.
1257
00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:17,670
When I have more time when I get this project finished,
1258
00:39:17,670 --> 00:39:17,880
I mean,
1259
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,890
I am guilty of this night and day.
1260
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:20,550
You're really good.
1261
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:22,590
Heather, you work out like every day I am,
1262
00:39:22,850 --> 00:39:23,670
I've been bad.
1263
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:25,230
And you know,
1264
00:39:25,230 --> 00:39:26,490
and you,
1265
00:39:26,490 --> 00:39:28,530
you get these momentary glimpse.
1266
00:39:28,530 --> 00:39:28,950
Like, you know,
1267
00:39:28,980 --> 00:39:30,960
I broke my finger a couple of weeks ago and all
1268
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,790
of a sudden I couldn't type and I couldn't do this.
1269
00:39:32,790 --> 00:39:33,630
And that's just a teeny,
1270
00:39:33,630 --> 00:39:35,490
tiny little finger and it's going to be healed in a
1271
00:39:35,490 --> 00:39:38,190
month, but it makes you realize you're like,
1272
00:39:38,190 --> 00:39:41,460
wow, I need to be a really grateful that I have
1273
00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:42,420
my health and be,
1274
00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:44,880
I better get my button gear and take care of it
1275
00:39:45,060 --> 00:39:47,490
and make better choices with what I eat and what I,
1276
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,450
how I move my body.
1277
00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:49,650
I mean immediately.
1278
00:39:49,650 --> 00:39:52,530
So the thing for me is the working out every day,
1279
00:39:52,530 --> 00:39:55,770
Nicole, it's just not an option.
1280
00:39:56,130 --> 00:39:57,240
It's not an option.
1281
00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:58,260
It is going to end.
1282
00:39:58,260 --> 00:39:59,730
There are days when I don't feel great.
1283
00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:01,620
And I certainly don't put in as much effort,
1284
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,590
but I show up every single day,
1285
00:40:04,620 --> 00:40:07,080
just not make it a non-negotiable like,
1286
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,280
this is because here.
1287
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,470
And here's why people don't is because it's easier to do
1288
00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:11,550
something in the short term,
1289
00:40:11,550 --> 00:40:13,410
like, get your work done or,
1290
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:13,860
you know,
1291
00:40:13,860 --> 00:40:18,150
attend to your responsibilities than deal with something that's future paced.
1292
00:40:18,210 --> 00:40:18,900
Like, oh,
1293
00:40:18,930 --> 00:40:20,940
I want to protect my back.
1294
00:40:20,970 --> 00:40:21,390
So, okay.
1295
00:40:21,390 --> 00:40:24,960
What's the number one thing that happens to elderly people.
1296
00:40:24,990 --> 00:40:25,490
Okay. I don't,
1297
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:26,220
I'm making this up.
1298
00:40:26,250 --> 00:40:27,330
I don't have any statistics,
1299
00:40:27,330 --> 00:40:28,950
so everybody's settled out,
1300
00:40:29,220 --> 00:40:31,260
but like elderly people fall.
1301
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,180
And when they fall,
1302
00:40:33,270 --> 00:40:34,230
they break something.
1303
00:40:34,260 --> 00:40:35,100
Usually it's a hip.
1304
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,640
When an elderly person falls and breaks their hip it's,
1305
00:40:38,790 --> 00:40:39,750
it's like the end,
1306
00:40:39,870 --> 00:40:40,080
you know,
1307
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,370
they end up in a home,
1308
00:40:41,370 --> 00:40:43,800
they ended up with pneumonia and they can never recover from
1309
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,600
that. And that's a function of balance.
1310
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:50,430
I actually have a real serious focus on improving my balance
1311
00:40:50,430 --> 00:40:52,800
and my workout routines every single day.
1312
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:53,820
When I brush my teeth,
1313
00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:55,020
I do that three times a day.
1314
00:40:55,020 --> 00:40:58,650
I stand on one foot and I vary it because I'm
1315
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,500
doing anything and everything I can to work on my core
1316
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,930
and my balance so that I remain upright.
1317
00:41:04,770 --> 00:41:05,220
That's the goal.
1318
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:05,910
I don't want to fall.
1319
00:41:06,110 --> 00:41:09,570
Right. I know this sounds like people were going to think
1320
00:41:09,630 --> 00:41:10,590
I'm out of my mind,
1321
00:41:10,950 --> 00:41:12,630
but these little things,
1322
00:41:12,630 --> 00:41:15,780
I just think that they compound over time and they add
1323
00:41:15,780 --> 00:41:19,380
up. And when you choose the spinach over the ice cream,
1324
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:20,220
which trust me,
1325
00:41:20,250 --> 00:41:21,510
I had ice cream last night,
1326
00:41:21,540 --> 00:41:23,190
but I'm also going to have spinach today.
1327
00:41:23,550 --> 00:41:25,140
You just feel better about that choice.
1328
00:41:25,140 --> 00:41:25,530
Don't you?
1329
00:41:25,530 --> 00:41:25,770
I mean,
1330
00:41:25,770 --> 00:41:29,340
did you ever like really binge on pizza or something greasy?
1331
00:41:29,340 --> 00:41:29,790
And you're like,
1332
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:32,280
oh, I don't feel great about that choice for me.
1333
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,400
It great in the moment,
1334
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:35,480
but then,
1335
00:41:35,780 --> 00:41:37,490
right. So you have to future pace,
1336
00:41:37,490 --> 00:41:38,690
like self care.
1337
00:41:38,930 --> 00:41:41,900
I'm glad that you brought that up about exercise and what
1338
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:43,730
you put in to your body,
1339
00:41:43,730 --> 00:41:46,690
because it's huge for yourself.
1340
00:41:47,230 --> 00:41:47,500
You know,
1341
00:41:47,590 --> 00:41:49,330
how many of us continue to work,
1342
00:41:49,330 --> 00:41:49,870
work, work,
1343
00:41:49,870 --> 00:41:50,560
work, or,
1344
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:50,860
you know,
1345
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:53,290
go from our nine to five to then building our photography
1346
00:41:53,290 --> 00:41:54,010
business and just,
1347
00:41:54,010 --> 00:41:56,200
don't take a few minutes for ourselves.
1348
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:57,190
That's huge.
1349
00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:57,790
And that doesn't cost.
1350
00:41:58,570 --> 00:41:59,560
Right? Exactly.
1351
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:00,820
Exactly. So that's great.
1352
00:42:00,850 --> 00:42:04,660
Okay. Let's talk about your wardrobe and what you wear.
1353
00:42:04,660 --> 00:42:06,280
You've already talked about underwear and socks,
1354
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:06,880
which is great.
1355
00:42:07,420 --> 00:42:10,270
Today. I am wearing a new shirt that I love.
1356
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:12,760
It's from a store near us called marshals.
1357
00:42:12,970 --> 00:42:16,780
And this shirt is so Heather it's floral it's frilly.
1358
00:42:16,780 --> 00:42:17,890
It has ruffles.
1359
00:42:17,950 --> 00:42:19,180
And it was,
1360
00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:22,390
it was marked down from $88 to eight.
1361
00:42:23,110 --> 00:42:26,440
I got the same $8 and I absolutely love it.
1362
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,790
And I feel so good at it.
1363
00:42:27,820 --> 00:42:30,850
When you feel good in something that you are wearing,
1364
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,460
it changes your posture.
1365
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,680
When your posture changes,
1366
00:42:35,830 --> 00:42:38,200
the energy and message that you send out into the world
1367
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,390
about who you are changes and it shifts.
1368
00:42:40,450 --> 00:42:42,910
And it is a huge deal.
1369
00:42:42,910 --> 00:42:46,150
Posture is a huge deal and posture can be improved,
1370
00:42:46,210 --> 00:42:46,510
you know,
1371
00:42:46,510 --> 00:42:47,080
by saying,
1372
00:42:47,110 --> 00:42:48,670
oh, I'm going to stay in tolerance straighter.
1373
00:42:48,670 --> 00:42:49,990
But most people don't do that.
1374
00:42:50,210 --> 00:42:50,980
They're just not aware,
1375
00:42:51,190 --> 00:42:55,270
but it can be improved secondarily by what you wear.
1376
00:42:55,450 --> 00:42:57,700
What if you went out and got a pair of pants
1377
00:42:57,700 --> 00:42:58,660
that actually fit you.
1378
00:42:59,380 --> 00:43:02,440
So maybe you're wearing pajama pants and I'm wearing one,
1379
00:43:03,710 --> 00:43:04,600
right, right.
1380
00:43:06,340 --> 00:43:07,720
Opposites and our wardrobe.
1381
00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:08,590
Although we do,
1382
00:43:08,620 --> 00:43:09,820
we do love our white house,
1383
00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:12,220
black market for the occasional times when I get dressed up
1384
00:43:12,220 --> 00:43:13,000
like a real human.
1385
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,630
But otherwise I'm a shorts and t-shirt kind of girl or
1386
00:43:17,020 --> 00:43:20,290
in the case of a morning podcast recording the JAMA pants,
1387
00:43:20,380 --> 00:43:22,030
baby. Oh my gosh.
1388
00:43:22,210 --> 00:43:23,800
And I'm in like full regalia.
1389
00:43:23,980 --> 00:43:24,460
I'm like,
1390
00:43:25,630 --> 00:43:27,880
these are upgraded the JAMA pants from Costco.
1391
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,230
And they're so soft and amazing.
1392
00:43:29,230 --> 00:43:31,470
And I love them very much so they're nice,
1393
00:43:31,780 --> 00:43:32,560
but not matters.
1394
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,220
Like, you know,
1395
00:43:33,220 --> 00:43:35,440
you're not buying the cheapest holes.
1396
00:43:35,710 --> 00:43:36,430
Right, right.
1397
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,200
But I heard something recently.
1398
00:43:38,260 --> 00:43:38,770
I'm sorry.
1399
00:43:38,770 --> 00:43:39,640
I can't remember where,
1400
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,120
but it was about wearing pants that fit and how much
1401
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,440
that can change your mindset.
1402
00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:48,580
So I'm currently wearing some shorts this summer that are a
1403
00:43:48,580 --> 00:43:49,960
hundred percent too tight for me.
1404
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,760
Okay. There's too small.
1405
00:43:51,820 --> 00:43:52,660
And I know it.
1406
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,690
And if it doesn't make me feel good when my pants
1407
00:43:55,690 --> 00:43:56,140
are tight.
1408
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,200
So a couple of weeks ago I went to the store
1409
00:43:59,230 --> 00:44:00,970
and I sized up in my shorts.
1410
00:44:01,150 --> 00:44:02,470
And that was a big move for me.
1411
00:44:02,470 --> 00:44:04,150
Cause I didn't want to increase that number.
1412
00:44:04,750 --> 00:44:05,470
Like I don't want to,
1413
00:44:05,470 --> 00:44:06,250
I don't want it right.
1414
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,270
I don't want to go off the side.
1415
00:44:07,390 --> 00:44:07,870
Just shrunk.
1416
00:44:07,870 --> 00:44:09,820
They just shrunk for all the years of washing Heather a
1417
00:44:09,820 --> 00:44:10,330
hundred percent.
1418
00:44:10,330 --> 00:44:11,020
That's what happened.
1419
00:44:11,020 --> 00:44:13,390
So my husband is so kind,
1420
00:44:13,390 --> 00:44:13,600
he's like,
1421
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:14,650
well, you're building muscle.
1422
00:44:14,650 --> 00:44:15,850
So muscle is just,
1423
00:44:15,850 --> 00:44:16,270
you know,
1424
00:44:16,650 --> 00:44:17,530
you just need something,
1425
00:44:17,530 --> 00:44:17,920
but okay,
1426
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:18,730
whatever, whatever.
1427
00:44:18,730 --> 00:44:21,220
The reason I went up a size and I bought three
1428
00:44:21,220 --> 00:44:22,120
new pairs of shorts,
1429
00:44:22,180 --> 00:44:23,950
Nicole, I love these shorts so much.
1430
00:44:23,950 --> 00:44:25,150
I wear them every day.
1431
00:44:25,150 --> 00:44:26,050
I cycled through them.
1432
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,400
Why? Because they feel good.
1433
00:44:27,580 --> 00:44:29,110
They fit and they look good.
1434
00:44:29,140 --> 00:44:32,970
And I carry myself differently from when I was wearing my
1435
00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:36,270
smaller shorts that I could barely button things are squishing out
1436
00:44:36,270 --> 00:44:37,680
everywhere. It didn't,
1437
00:44:37,770 --> 00:44:38,640
it didn't feel good.
1438
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,340
So go buy a pair of pants that fit.
1439
00:44:41,340 --> 00:44:42,050
And they don't have to,
1440
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,460
if you want to upgrade to something fancy and spend money,
1441
00:44:44,460 --> 00:44:45,060
that's fine.
1442
00:44:45,150 --> 00:44:46,200
But you don't have to,
1443
00:44:46,380 --> 00:44:48,300
you can find something very inexpensive,
1444
00:44:48,510 --> 00:44:50,040
but put on a pair of pants that fit.
1445
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,300
Cause it's gonna make a difference.
1446
00:44:53,060 --> 00:44:53,720
I love that one.
1447
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,450
It is absolutely.
1448
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,540
Okay. Let's laugh.
1449
00:45:00,050 --> 00:45:01,460
Two things I want to cover.
1450
00:45:01,820 --> 00:45:03,020
These are just what we're doing here.
1451
00:45:03,030 --> 00:45:05,480
Sharing a bunch of ideas and different categories of your life,
1452
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,830
where you could upgrade.
1453
00:45:07,010 --> 00:45:09,050
I want to talk about leisure and travel,
1454
00:45:09,050 --> 00:45:11,990
which the travel is still a little challenging,
1455
00:45:11,990 --> 00:45:15,020
but getting there the leisure you can still do and then
1456
00:45:15,020 --> 00:45:16,370
personal growth and development.
1457
00:45:16,580 --> 00:45:19,130
So for travel,
1458
00:45:19,220 --> 00:45:23,300
talk to me about your favorite way to maybe upgrade your
1459
00:45:23,300 --> 00:45:24,860
travel. Oh baby.
1460
00:45:24,860 --> 00:45:27,740
Front of the plane all the way now before all of
1461
00:45:27,740 --> 00:45:28,730
you guys are like,
1462
00:45:28,790 --> 00:45:29,720
oh Nicole,
1463
00:45:29,930 --> 00:45:31,850
I can't afford to fly business class.
1464
00:45:32,030 --> 00:45:34,010
Yeah. I don't usually pay for it.
1465
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,010
I use miles and play the travel hacking game.
1466
00:45:37,310 --> 00:45:38,720
And yeah,
1467
00:45:38,810 --> 00:45:39,740
actually the hardest,
1468
00:45:39,740 --> 00:45:41,960
the hardest cancellation for us during,
1469
00:45:42,020 --> 00:45:44,750
during COVID was last wall,
1470
00:45:44,780 --> 00:45:46,490
may of 2020 when like,
1471
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:46,850
you know,
1472
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,830
things were all crazy and shutdown,
1473
00:45:49,130 --> 00:45:51,290
airlines had released their spring,
1474
00:45:51,290 --> 00:45:52,700
2021 travel.
1475
00:45:52,700 --> 00:45:53,090
I'm like,
1476
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:53,870
oh my gosh,
1477
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,130
business class,
1478
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,060
small to our savor award seats to Malta for the whole
1479
00:45:59,060 --> 00:46:00,890
family, all four.
1480
00:46:00,890 --> 00:46:03,650
Cause usually you can't get business class saver seats for four
1481
00:46:03,650 --> 00:46:07,100
people to Europe when the weather's decent ever booked it.
1482
00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:08,420
For sure.
1483
00:46:08,420 --> 00:46:10,160
By spring of 2021,
1484
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,680
everything will be open that one.
1485
00:46:12,710 --> 00:46:14,630
That one was a little difficult to cancel.
1486
00:46:14,690 --> 00:46:16,700
And so now I'm looking for next summer and the front
1487
00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:18,050
of the plane is a little bit more booked.
1488
00:46:18,170 --> 00:46:19,640
I'm not quite as available,
1489
00:46:19,730 --> 00:46:20,510
but that's okay.
1490
00:46:20,510 --> 00:46:23,540
I will fly my award seats and coach if I have
1491
00:46:23,540 --> 00:46:25,760
to. But yeah.
1492
00:46:25,790 --> 00:46:29,090
Being able to sleep on an overnight flight is just an
1493
00:46:29,090 --> 00:46:29,930
incredible upgrade.
1494
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,510
Yeah. I've only done it.
1495
00:46:32,570 --> 00:46:35,510
I think two or three times in my life where I've
1496
00:46:35,510 --> 00:46:38,540
upgraded to first class and it has been glorious.
1497
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,270
Yes. It is like on my flight to you,
1498
00:46:44,270 --> 00:46:44,540
you know,
1499
00:46:44,540 --> 00:46:45,200
it's an hour,
1500
00:46:45,230 --> 00:46:46,160
less than an hour,
1501
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,770
but if I'm flying in a couple hours,
1502
00:46:49,610 --> 00:46:50,420
I have,
1503
00:46:50,450 --> 00:46:52,430
well, I did a girls' weekend in new Orleans couple of
1504
00:46:52,430 --> 00:46:55,430
years ago and it was only $60 to upgrade to the
1505
00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:56,570
front of the plane to fly home.
1506
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,110
I was like,
1507
00:46:57,140 --> 00:46:58,430
oh, cause it was a short flight.
1508
00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:58,790
I'm like,
1509
00:46:58,940 --> 00:46:59,570
ah, yeah,
1510
00:46:59,780 --> 00:47:02,150
I'm definitely going to do that because I just want more
1511
00:47:02,150 --> 00:47:05,180
room. So it's all relative to upgrade to like fly to
1512
00:47:05,180 --> 00:47:08,120
Australia. Certainly more expensive than upgrading on an hour and a
1513
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:08,900
half domestic flight.
1514
00:47:09,140 --> 00:47:09,990
Right. Right.
1515
00:47:10,070 --> 00:47:10,970
But yeah.
1516
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,230
Use those miles.
1517
00:47:12,410 --> 00:47:16,070
If you guys want any help with the travel hacking,
1518
00:47:16,610 --> 00:47:17,960
you just let me know search on here.
1519
00:47:19,550 --> 00:47:20,750
We'll actually link in the show notes.
1520
00:47:20,750 --> 00:47:23,600
I actually wrote a whole post about all my different credit
1521
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:24,940
card ecosystem ecosystem.
1522
00:47:25,010 --> 00:47:25,370
Yeah. Yeah.
1523
00:47:25,430 --> 00:47:27,680
You have really helped me with this and I haven't paid
1524
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,360
for a hotel room in five years because of it.
1525
00:47:31,500 --> 00:47:32,490
Yeah. So that's great.
1526
00:47:32,580 --> 00:47:36,420
Okay. But this category was leisure and travel.
1527
00:47:36,420 --> 00:47:39,210
So let's talk about leisure for a second.
1528
00:47:39,420 --> 00:47:41,100
What about some fun hobbies?
1529
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,190
Is there a hobby or something you want to cultivate or
1530
00:47:44,190 --> 00:47:45,900
learn? That's just for you.
1531
00:47:45,930 --> 00:47:50,040
This is like a bonus upgrade because it's self care as
1532
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,180
well. It's fun.
1533
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,100
It's just for you.
1534
00:47:53,250 --> 00:47:54,840
You're taking the time to do it.
1535
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,690
It could be something you don't pay for or you could.
1536
00:47:57,900 --> 00:48:01,320
Okay. I joined a program a couple of days ago.
1537
00:48:01,950 --> 00:48:04,230
It's a braiding bootcamp and I'm going to learn how to
1538
00:48:04,230 --> 00:48:05,700
braid hair really fancy.
1539
00:48:05,790 --> 00:48:07,140
Okay. Why did I do that?
1540
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,950
Because I think it unlocks a level of creativity when you
1541
00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:12,210
do something different.
1542
00:48:12,450 --> 00:48:14,760
So I wanted to learn how to do it.
1543
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:15,330
I'm going to do it.
1544
00:48:15,330 --> 00:48:16,140
I'm going to pay the money.
1545
00:48:16,140 --> 00:48:16,680
I'm going to do it.
1546
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:17,790
It's a fun hobby.
1547
00:48:18,060 --> 00:48:19,020
And okay.
1548
00:48:19,020 --> 00:48:21,090
So what I send a message to myself,
1549
00:48:21,630 --> 00:48:22,230
your worth,
1550
00:48:22,230 --> 00:48:22,950
having fun,
1551
00:48:23,370 --> 00:48:25,020
your worth downtime,
1552
00:48:25,110 --> 00:48:27,030
that isn't tied to productivity or business.
1553
00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:29,250
Cause actually something I'm working on.
1554
00:48:29,250 --> 00:48:32,820
Personally, I tie my worth to my productivity and I'm trying
1555
00:48:32,820 --> 00:48:34,710
to shift that by saying,
1556
00:48:34,710 --> 00:48:36,600
okay, I can sit here and braid hair,
1557
00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:39,150
my mom's hair for an hour and spend quality time with
1558
00:48:39,150 --> 00:48:40,140
her. And it's okay.
1559
00:48:40,410 --> 00:48:41,490
I know that seems like,
1560
00:48:41,580 --> 00:48:42,030
of course,
1561
00:48:42,030 --> 00:48:42,990
why wouldn't it be okay.
1562
00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:44,310
But for someone like me,
1563
00:48:44,730 --> 00:48:48,780
it traditionally has not been okay to allow myself that leisure.
1564
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,180
So this is about allowing yourself time.
1565
00:48:51,210 --> 00:48:52,800
Maybe read a book outside,
1566
00:48:53,220 --> 00:48:54,270
maybe pick up a hobby.
1567
00:48:54,270 --> 00:48:54,600
I don't know.
1568
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:55,350
What are your thoughts on that?
1569
00:48:55,750 --> 00:48:57,240
And you could buy a baby horse and then you have
1570
00:48:57,240 --> 00:48:58,530
to go to the barn five days a week.
1571
00:48:58,950 --> 00:49:01,590
But have you got that baby horse does come with risks
1572
00:49:01,590 --> 00:49:02,940
such as said broken finger.
1573
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:04,920
Right, right,
1574
00:49:04,950 --> 00:49:06,390
right. Yeah.
1575
00:49:06,420 --> 00:49:07,110
No, that's great.
1576
00:49:07,110 --> 00:49:09,930
And that's just for you because you love horses.
1577
00:49:10,020 --> 00:49:11,520
That's what you love to do.
1578
00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:13,170
And so that's a great,
1579
00:49:13,410 --> 00:49:14,910
oh, that's a great way to upgrade.
1580
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:15,870
My daughter does too.
1581
00:49:15,870 --> 00:49:17,140
So we get to spend quality,
1582
00:49:17,170 --> 00:49:18,030
spend time together.
1583
00:49:18,030 --> 00:49:21,300
So the only problem the bills are twice as expensive.
1584
00:49:21,300 --> 00:49:23,090
Cause there's too much because there's two of you.
1585
00:49:23,370 --> 00:49:23,790
Right, right,
1586
00:49:23,790 --> 00:49:25,170
right. Okay.
1587
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:26,280
Let's lastly,
1588
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,120
talk about personal growth and development because you're listening to this
1589
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,620
podcast and if you made it this far,
1590
00:49:31,620 --> 00:49:33,810
that means you're interested in becoming a better person,
1591
00:49:33,810 --> 00:49:35,340
a better version of yourself.
1592
00:49:35,460 --> 00:49:40,110
So where could you invest in yourself for an upgrade in
1593
00:49:40,110 --> 00:49:41,610
what could you actually,
1594
00:49:41,610 --> 00:49:43,950
in a recent episode of the flourish academy podcast,
1595
00:49:43,950 --> 00:49:46,140
I talked about how to find a therapist or what about
1596
00:49:46,140 --> 00:49:48,120
a mentor or a business coach?
1597
00:49:48,150 --> 00:49:50,460
Could you spend more time reading or learning?
1598
00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:52,230
Could you join a course?
1599
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,080
Could you jump into the hair of the dog academy or
1600
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,490
the elevate program investing in these things is not just about
1601
00:49:59,490 --> 00:50:00,420
you learning the skill.
1602
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:01,260
Let's be clear.
1603
00:50:01,530 --> 00:50:06,300
This is about upgrading and upleveling your life and how you
1604
00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:10,200
view what you're doing either for a hobby or for a
1605
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,170
business. And it makes a difference because you send a message
1606
00:50:13,170 --> 00:50:13,770
to your brain.
1607
00:50:14,010 --> 00:50:14,340
It's like,
1608
00:50:14,460 --> 00:50:15,600
I think of our elevators.
1609
00:50:15,750 --> 00:50:17,520
When you jump into the commitment of elevate,
1610
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,910
you're already winning from day one because you just sent a
1611
00:50:20,910 --> 00:50:22,560
message to your brain that wow,
1612
00:50:22,590 --> 00:50:24,030
you really serious about this,
1613
00:50:24,030 --> 00:50:26,460
which actually then trickles out to the universe,
1614
00:50:26,460 --> 00:50:28,340
right? You really serious about this.
1615
00:50:28,580 --> 00:50:29,930
And you,
1616
00:50:30,100 --> 00:50:30,980
you spent the money,
1617
00:50:30,980 --> 00:50:33,140
you invested the time.
1618
00:50:33,590 --> 00:50:35,120
Good things are going to come your way.
1619
00:50:35,150 --> 00:50:37,490
Just, just by the sheer act of joining.
1620
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,160
Even before you take any action at all.
1621
00:50:40,190 --> 00:50:42,500
So could you join a group?
1622
00:50:42,950 --> 00:50:47,000
Could you maybe mastermind with someone again,
1623
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:47,600
read a book.
1624
00:50:47,690 --> 00:50:49,550
I am a course junkie.
1625
00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:50,840
I buy a lot of courses.
1626
00:50:51,050 --> 00:50:52,550
I like to watch and learn.
1627
00:50:53,030 --> 00:50:54,830
What is your approach to this?
1628
00:50:54,970 --> 00:50:56,170
I am the same.
1629
00:50:56,830 --> 00:50:59,860
Yeah. And I think it is absolutely critical to have some
1630
00:50:59,860 --> 00:51:01,660
sort of coaching in your life,
1631
00:51:01,690 --> 00:51:02,830
no matter where you are.
1632
00:51:03,100 --> 00:51:04,780
You and I have talked about this before.
1633
00:51:05,170 --> 00:51:07,720
We've been part of a high level coaching program me for
1634
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:08,230
a couple of years,
1635
00:51:08,230 --> 00:51:08,950
like three,
1636
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,820
almost four years now I will never not have a coach
1637
00:51:12,820 --> 00:51:16,810
in some capacity because it's just so incredibly helpful.
1638
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:17,620
So really I'm just,
1639
00:51:17,620 --> 00:51:20,920
yeah. Always open for opportunities and looking for ways to continue
1640
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,250
learning. And I think anyone that is an entrepreneur or anyone
1641
00:51:24,250 --> 00:51:26,260
that's running their own business by nature,
1642
00:51:26,740 --> 00:51:28,720
we are curious,
1643
00:51:28,780 --> 00:51:31,720
we are interested in different things.
1644
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:38,920
We are drawn to having the ability and power for,
1645
00:51:39,070 --> 00:51:39,340
you know,
1646
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,050
us to kind of create our own future.
1647
00:51:41,230 --> 00:51:45,640
And so with that comes to trade-offs of being responsible for
1648
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,030
it. And shameless plug here,
1649
00:51:49,030 --> 00:51:51,700
the dog academy opens on September 2nd.
1650
00:51:51,730 --> 00:51:52,480
So go to Harris,
1651
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,120
dog academy.com/academy,
1652
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,260
jump on the wait list.
1653
00:51:56,260 --> 00:51:57,790
And we'd love to see you in there.
1654
00:51:57,790 --> 00:51:59,860
It's just not about the skills you guys,
1655
00:51:59,860 --> 00:52:01,510
the skills are so important,
1656
00:52:01,510 --> 00:52:04,630
but it's the message you're sending to your subconscious and that
1657
00:52:04,630 --> 00:52:07,330
you're vibing out into the universe that says I'm here,
1658
00:52:07,330 --> 00:52:08,860
I'm serious and I'm worth it.
1659
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,340
And I care because I just invested this money and yes,
1660
00:52:12,340 --> 00:52:14,140
we have said this to each other multiple times.
1661
00:52:14,140 --> 00:52:14,770
I will never,
1662
00:52:14,770 --> 00:52:16,630
ever again be without a business coach,
1663
00:52:16,690 --> 00:52:18,820
not for one single second.
1664
00:52:19,210 --> 00:52:21,910
And I personally will never even be without a therapist.
1665
00:52:22,150 --> 00:52:23,620
What have you thought about that?
1666
00:52:24,130 --> 00:52:24,490
I have,
1667
00:52:24,490 --> 00:52:28,090
I just have not made my way around to moving forward
1668
00:52:28,090 --> 00:52:28,630
on that yet.
1669
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:31,810
I know.
1670
00:52:31,810 --> 00:52:32,170
I know.
1671
00:52:32,170 --> 00:52:32,590
I just,
1672
00:52:32,590 --> 00:52:33,610
yeah, I just need to,
1673
00:52:34,030 --> 00:52:37,870
yeah. That's a big decision of choosing to not have doing
1674
00:52:37,870 --> 00:52:38,290
it or not.
1675
00:52:38,290 --> 00:52:39,580
So I need to just look into it.
1676
00:52:39,900 --> 00:52:40,660
You have something to say,
1677
00:52:40,660 --> 00:52:42,250
but I have to stop you there.
1678
00:52:42,250 --> 00:52:43,390
Yes, it is a big decision,
1679
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:46,330
but you only have to meet with that person once if
1680
00:52:46,330 --> 00:52:47,290
you decide,
1681
00:52:47,590 --> 00:52:48,160
oh gosh,
1682
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,390
that person is not for me.
1683
00:52:49,420 --> 00:52:50,920
Then you just go to the next person.
1684
00:52:51,460 --> 00:52:52,060
Right. Right,
1685
00:52:52,060 --> 00:52:52,420
right, right.
1686
00:52:52,570 --> 00:52:52,810
Let's see.
1687
00:52:52,860 --> 00:52:54,100
I guess you have to find the first one,
1688
00:52:54,700 --> 00:53:01,450
but it's me making an excuse it because I did an
1689
00:53:01,450 --> 00:53:02,500
episode, actually.
1690
00:53:02,500 --> 00:53:04,150
It was released today.
1691
00:53:04,930 --> 00:53:05,890
Cademy podcasts.
1692
00:53:05,890 --> 00:53:07,570
It's titled how to find a therapist.
1693
00:53:07,750 --> 00:53:08,830
I'm going to send it to you.
1694
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,920
It's five minutes and I share how to do it and
1695
00:53:11,950 --> 00:53:14,110
how to pivot if it's not working.
1696
00:53:15,490 --> 00:53:15,820
Thank you.
1697
00:53:15,820 --> 00:53:16,180
Thank you.
1698
00:53:16,630 --> 00:53:18,400
No, the other thing I was going to say about investing
1699
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,730
in coaching is the other thing that happens subconsciously too,
1700
00:53:21,730 --> 00:53:25,920
when we actually take money out of our wallet is that
1701
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,200
we then subconsciously like,
1702
00:53:28,230 --> 00:53:31,980
oh, we're more committed now because if you were to have
1703
00:53:31,980 --> 00:53:33,990
free access to all of these things,
1704
00:53:34,090 --> 00:53:35,490
then it's really easy.
1705
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,260
Like I was just saying with like,
1706
00:53:37,290 --> 00:53:37,920
oh yeah,
1707
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,690
maybe one day I'll look and find that therapist.
1708
00:53:39,690 --> 00:53:42,090
It's really easy because you don't have any skin in the
1709
00:53:42,090 --> 00:53:45,660
game. But when you actually have to open up your wallet
1710
00:53:45,660 --> 00:53:47,280
and pay something,
1711
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:48,990
you show up this year,
1712
00:53:48,990 --> 00:53:52,530
I joined a mastermind program that costs significantly more than what
1713
00:53:52,530 --> 00:53:53,790
I was paying in the past.
1714
00:53:53,820 --> 00:53:54,990
You bet your bottom dollar.
1715
00:53:54,990 --> 00:53:56,490
I've been at every single call.
1716
00:53:56,940 --> 00:53:58,170
Whereas before I'd be like,
1717
00:53:58,230 --> 00:53:58,950
oh man,
1718
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:01,080
the calls at six o'clock it's like dinner time,
1719
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:01,770
I'm tired.
1720
00:54:01,770 --> 00:54:02,640
I'll catch the replay.
1721
00:54:02,850 --> 00:54:05,310
So it just causes you to show up in a different
1722
00:54:05,310 --> 00:54:06,440
way. Yeah.
1723
00:54:06,620 --> 00:54:07,640
Yeah. What is,
1724
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:08,750
what does our mentor say?
1725
00:54:08,750 --> 00:54:09,710
How does he say it?
1726
00:54:09,710 --> 00:54:12,140
That the transformation is in the transaction?
1727
00:54:12,140 --> 00:54:12,650
That's it?
1728
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,950
That's when you put your credit card,
1729
00:54:15,950 --> 00:54:17,960
when you slide it there,
1730
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,700
okay. You enter your card numbers on the internet,
1731
00:54:19,850 --> 00:54:20,270
but you,
1732
00:54:20,270 --> 00:54:20,540
you know,
1733
00:54:20,540 --> 00:54:21,710
you slide it through,
1734
00:54:21,830 --> 00:54:24,890
you are now committed and you show up differently.
1735
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:25,430
You right.
1736
00:54:25,730 --> 00:54:27,710
And you and I both know this because we have in
1737
00:54:27,710 --> 00:54:30,080
the past gifted some courses,
1738
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:31,370
this is before we had memberships.
1739
00:54:31,370 --> 00:54:33,350
So this is many years ago where you would gift a
1740
00:54:33,350 --> 00:54:36,350
course to someone and they wouldn't do anything with it.
1741
00:54:36,740 --> 00:54:37,780
And you're like,
1742
00:54:37,790 --> 00:54:38,990
what? What's going on here?
1743
00:54:39,020 --> 00:54:39,680
Well, they didn't,
1744
00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:41,300
they didn't pay for you.
1745
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,850
You don't value what you don't pay for.
1746
00:54:43,910 --> 00:54:45,830
So, and it turns out the more you pay,
1747
00:54:45,830 --> 00:54:46,970
the more you value it.
1748
00:54:46,970 --> 00:54:49,910
So if you're paying significantly more for coaching,
1749
00:54:49,940 --> 00:54:51,350
that's exactly why you're showing it.
1750
00:54:52,790 --> 00:54:53,870
Yep, exactly.
1751
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,260
So I hope you guys have found this episode helpful and
1752
00:54:57,260 --> 00:55:00,440
have some ideas of ways you can upgrade and realize that
1753
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,070
it's not all about buying the most expensive thing or going
1754
00:55:04,070 --> 00:55:05,720
out and spending a whole bunch of money.
1755
00:55:05,990 --> 00:55:09,290
That it is really just looking at little things in your
1756
00:55:09,290 --> 00:55:11,390
environment that you can do differently,
1757
00:55:11,420 --> 00:55:12,980
that you could replace,
1758
00:55:12,980 --> 00:55:14,150
that you can clean out,
1759
00:55:14,150 --> 00:55:15,290
that you can declutter.
1760
00:55:15,350 --> 00:55:19,730
And that just raises our internal vibration and our internal state
1761
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:24,290
and makes us just kind of happier and feel more abundant
1762
00:55:24,290 --> 00:55:27,710
in which case makes room for new ideas to come in
1763
00:55:27,830 --> 00:55:29,600
money, to come in new clients,
1764
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,270
to come in and all of the things to just to
1765
00:55:32,270 --> 00:55:34,250
continue to Uplevel.
1766
00:55:34,490 --> 00:55:38,150
So I would love if you guys would share in whatever
1767
00:55:38,150 --> 00:55:38,690
groups you're in,
1768
00:55:38,690 --> 00:55:40,070
whether you're in the academy,
1769
00:55:40,070 --> 00:55:40,850
Facebook group,
1770
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,220
if you're in our free hair of the dog Facebook group,
1771
00:55:43,250 --> 00:55:45,230
if you're at Heather's flourish academy groups,
1772
00:55:45,260 --> 00:55:48,110
I would love for you guys to share what you are
1773
00:55:48,140 --> 00:55:50,480
upgrading after listening to this episode.
1774
00:55:50,900 --> 00:55:53,180
And let's all get our upgrades on.
1775
00:55:53,630 --> 00:55:54,560
I would love that.
1776
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,110
I would love for people to tag me even personally,
1777
00:55:57,110 --> 00:55:59,780
because I love the stories that come out of it specifically,
1778
00:56:00,020 --> 00:56:00,290
you know,
1779
00:56:00,290 --> 00:56:01,970
when you upgrade something and you're like,
1780
00:56:01,970 --> 00:56:04,040
and it's pushing you a little past your comfort zone.
1781
00:56:04,070 --> 00:56:05,540
And then all of a sudden you get a check from
1782
00:56:05,540 --> 00:56:06,200
the IRS,
1783
00:56:06,230 --> 00:56:06,410
you know,
1784
00:56:06,410 --> 00:56:09,020
stories like that are just incredible to me,
1785
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,670
not that that happens to everyone,
1786
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:11,780
but you know,
1787
00:56:11,780 --> 00:56:14,570
it's not always that immediate and obvious,
1788
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,380
but it does impact you absolutely tag us on the,
1789
00:56:18,380 --> 00:56:21,890
on the grams or send us to DM at hair of
1790
00:56:21,890 --> 00:56:23,030
the dog academy is me.
1791
00:56:23,290 --> 00:56:24,970
What's yours at flourish academy.
1792
00:56:25,630 --> 00:56:26,920
Perfect. All right,
1793
00:56:26,980 --> 00:56:27,730
thanks so much,
1794
00:56:27,730 --> 00:56:28,690
Heather, for being here with us,
1795
00:56:28,690 --> 00:56:30,670
if you guys enjoyed this money conversation,
1796
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,970
we will be back our commitment to you for the rest
1797
