Summary
I am a firm believer that we are most happiest when we are our true selves. Living on our own terms, doing things we want to do not because someone else says we should and being true to ourselves. I explore why self-acceptance is a crucial component of achieving this. I discuss why embracing death can be liberating and give our life meaning and I finish with why prioritising your physical health creates so many opportunities in other areas of life, including that of which is being yourself.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode number 20 of the balancing back podcast with me, James Middleton. |
| 0:14.4 | And as I say this, I have the biggest smile on my face. |
| 0:19.8 | My grin is from ear to ear because I'm so happy to be back in the |
| 0:25.3 | hot seat doing this podcast because I know it's been a couple of months since my last one and I've |
| 0:31.0 | had so many messages from you guys saying, when's the next one out? When's the next one out? |
| 0:36.7 | I need them for my walks. |

| 0:52.2 | Today's episode is all about if you can be anything in life, |
| 0:58.6 | be yourself. And today I'm going to run through three key topics really to address this. |
| 1:07.6 | Because I think over the last few months, I've really tried to explore within myself |
| 1:13.7 | when I feel happiest, what I feel happiest doing. And among some of the realizations I've been |
| 1:22.7 | drawn to and answers I've come up with, I found that one of the common denominators is always |
| 1:29.5 | when I'm just being myself. That's when I'm happiest, living life on my terms, being who I truly |
| 1:36.1 | am and who I want to be in this life and doing things that I want to do. Not because someone else |
| 1:43.3 | thinks I should do them or society |
| 1:45.5 | tells me to do them, but because of a deep desire that I want to. So based off of that, |
| 1:54.0 | three key topics today. Self-acceptance, I'll discuss first. Then I'm going to talk about |
| 2:00.4 | embracing death. And then then finally going into this |
