| 0:15.9 | Hello everybody. Welcome to Mindful Metal Jacket. I am Joe List. If you are listening at home, you won't even notice a difference. But if you're watching this on YouTube I'm now recording the intro with video and these intros are going to get even more awkward and uncomfortable because there's a video of |
| 0:26.5 | myself in front of myself. I'm trying to look right in the camera so I don't see |
| 0:31.0 | my big dumb goofy face but anyways this is mindful |
| 0:35.4 | metal jacket oh I just looked at myself brutal really brutal anyways |
| 0:40.9 | welcome to the podcast thanks Thanks for listening or watching. |
| 0:43.9 | If you're watching, this is a red letter date, whatever that means in the history of the show. |
| 0:50.1 | This is the first video with a video intro. |
| 0:54.7 | And normally I take about 25 takes to do these intros. |
| 0:58.6 | But with the video, I don't want to do that |
| 1:00.4 | because it'll be a pain in the ass. |
| 1:01.6 | So I'm going to try to just get through this one and again if you're listening at home it's it's just me and my little intro's which maybe they're too long I don't know how do you feel some people love the intro some people hate them. |
| 1:13.0 | But either way it's here, I'm here, you're here, you're here, you're there, wherever you are |
| 1:20.0 | I hope that you're feeling well right now, at least in this moment. |
| 1:24.8 | The exercise I'd like to do it, I've mentioned before, I heard it first from Eckhart Toli, |
| 1:31.0 | or however you say his name, Toll, Tollamash. |
| 1:36.7 | Pause for a moment, sit, stand, pause, be still, breathe, and ask yourself, what is actually wrong in this moment? |
| 1:50.4 | And the answer is almost always nothing. |
| 1:53.0 | You're worrying about something that has already happened or hasn't yet happened. |
| 1:59.0 | My friend, a friend of mine told me about, he went to his friend's house and his friend had a little sign on the bathroom |
| 2:07.8 | wall that said it's not going to go that way and And he had another sign by the door when you leave the |
| 2:17.3 | apartment that said it's not going to go that way either. And I like that. |
| 2:32.8 | So you know, just relax, let it be as they say, as Paul McCartney once said, sang, actually more than once a whole bunch of times |
