| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful beans and welcome to today's episode. So this episode is all about kind of |
| 0:06.4 | how to stop giving your past your power or how to stop giving your power to your past. |
| 0:13.4 | And how to stop thinking that things could have been different and being stuck in that mindset of, |
| 0:19.4 | oh my God, if only this had happened, |
| 0:24.7 | then I would be in this position, or if only I had stayed in that relationship, |
| 0:28.8 | or if only I never dumped that person, or if only I had done something differently and I wouldn't have been dumped X, Y, Z, et cetera, et cetera. |
| 0:31.7 | So that's kind of what I'm going to be talking about, this idea of how much you end up |
| 0:37.4 | feeling stagnated because |

| 1:03.2 | but I don't want you to be stuck there to the extent where the world is passing you by |
| 1:07.8 | and you're thinking, those were the glory days those were the days and |
| 1:11.5 | just having that mentality off it's never going to be as good as it used to be because if that's the |
| 1:16.0 | case then what the fuck are you doing with your life to think that all the good times were in the past |
| 1:22.3 | is a very you're setting yourself up to be very disappointed with your life situation okay and then of that, you're less likely to be proactive on things that are going to make your life, |
| 1:32.5 | you know, more enjoyable or more exciting or for you to be able to experience all these amazing things |
| 1:37.7 | because you've kind of got this biased idea that it's just never going to be as good as it |
