What's going on, Beaches? Welcome to the Daily Soul podcast, episode 3340. It's Saturday, June,

the 28th, and today we're talking about self-talk. Now, we often discuss community, which is

pillar number one, but I want to remind you that you are a community of one. It starts with you

and the voice inside your head first and foremost. You can't always

control who's around you. You can start culling your friends. You can start culling the

negativity in your environment, but there's certain situations where you're going to be forced to

spend time with people or things that don't really serve you and you have to have peace

inside yourself. So if you have integrity

and you keep the promises you make to yourself, that's first and foremost. You can control that.

You can meditate more. You could have positive self-talk. You could stop being a chode inside your

own head. And if you get your head screwed on properly and you have that community of one, you are going to be much better off.

That's where it starts.

And the reason why a lot of people don't get results or they fail or they fall off or they have a lot of stress is because they're trying to control their environment.

They're trying to control things that they cannot control.

And you have to start with you.

And it's shocking how many people try to control all the things around them that they can't control.

And they leave themselves just flapping in the wind.

So if you can't control yourself, then you are not going to be able to improve the environment around you.

So bottom line, it starts with you.

That's what today's episode is titled.

It starts with you.

Period.
