0:00.0 | I don't recall if I mentioned this on another podcast before but something I've been thinking a lot about is |
0:08.0 | I suppose it's not something I've been thinking about, something I've been feeling, but I |
0:17.0 | have figured a way to talk about it, which is calling existential gratitude. Just feeling really, really appreciative for every moment in life and feeling the fact that I'm aware at all. |
0:27.6 | And I felt this so many times before and I always kind of generally feel it's just an appreciation a gratitude for being conscious, |
0:36.8 | being alive, being aware of my own existence and getting to experience all of the beautiful and not so beautiful |
0:46.4 | parts of what it means to be human. I mean just sitting here right now on a chair in my |

2:12.1 | We've been feeling that a lot and I think that it's just gotten more and more intense |
2:17.4 | over the last few months and it's quite nice. |
2:20.9 | Quite nice. |
2:22.1 | This goes into something I was going to talk about today on this podcast. |
2:25.0 | Which is just the importance of making your attention and focus available for yourself. |
2:37.0 | We are so constantly distracted by everything, our phones by the just the |
