| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful beans and welcome to the episode of today. So in today's episode, we're going to be talking about honoring a commitment to yourself and what happens in your life when you do that. So I'm going to be talking about all the good things that are going to happen when you decide to honor a commitment to yourself. I'm going to talk to you about all the bad things that are currently happening in your life because you are failing to be able to honor a commitment to |
| 0:23.9 | yourself. So this is all about making a promise and sticking to it. I'm going to talk about why you |
| 0:28.2 | fail at it so often and why it's not necessarily your fault, but it's more so the fault of how |
| 0:33.1 | you set yourself up to fail. And I'm going to give you some really fucking easy, easy, easy steps to |
| 0:38.7 | change how you go about keeping promises to yourself and following through and then what |
| 0:43.2 | that's going to mean for you and your confidence and also your relationships with other people. |
| 0:46.8 | Because weirdly enough, when you do that, it completely transforms your relationships outside |
| 0:51.3 | of yourself. So that is the topic or the content for today's |
| 0:56.1 | podcast. We do have a brain fact. Um, little life update. There's not that much of a life update, |
| 1:03.0 | to be honest. I have nothing of substance to share. I was going to bring back one of my pet |
| 1:07.8 | hates. I do have a pet hate. I've remembered what the pet hate is. |
| 1:11.5 | And this is maybe controversial. And if you've got a legitimate reason why people do this, |
| 1:15.1 | then please feel free to write in the Facebook group or just don't DM me because I'm really |
| 1:19.4 | bad at my DMs, but right in the Facebook group. But something that really pisses me off is, |
| 1:24.4 | this is so off topic, but it's when people say, when they, like, birth a child and they |
| 1:30.4 | write, oh my God, thank you for choosing us as your parents. Like, cunt, it's a bundle of |
| 1:35.4 | cells. Has it actually chosen you as a parent? And also, if that's the case, does that |
| 1:39.8 | mean that children that are raised in abusive households chose the abusive household. I just, |
| 1:45.4 | anyway, hate that shit. I fucking hate it. If there's a legitimate reason why you really believe |
| 1:50.8 | that a clump of cells that's turned into a human, chose you as their parent, when someone |
| 1:57.3 | else would choose an abusive parent, please enlighten me. Anyway, that's my pet hate. |
| 2:05.8 | There's no actual life update outside of that. So we're going to go straight into the brain fact of today. So the brain fact of today is something called the Troxler effect. It's also called |
