Summary

If you are in need of a reminder to slow down, be present and not feel pressured to buy/have "all the things", this episode is definitely for you!

Recently, i watched a movie on Hulu called "Perfect Days" about a toilet cleaner in Japan. I thought it would be about his job (and how could that even be exciting??) but it was about much, much more.

I'm sharing six takeaways that will help you experience your own "perfect" days, ones where you are more grounded and present, versus worrying about the accumulation or use of the latest and greatest stuff.

As mentioned, if you'd like to spend some one on one time with me, getting your self-care plan in order, you can connect with me here: BEING w/ Bre

0:00.0	Hey, what's going on? You are listening to the Brown Girl Self Care podcast. My name is
0:07.9	Bree, and I'm the host of the show as well as the founder of Brown Girl Self Care. Brown
0:12.3	Girl Self Care is a platform in space of intentional healing, joy, rest, and abundance for black women.
0:20.1	Let's go ahead and get into today's episode. I'm going to be sharing
0:23.1	with you six groundbreaking takeaways that I have from watching a movie called Perfect
0:29.1	Days. And I want to share these with you because I know that if you are listening to this
0:35.8	podcast, first of all, you are most likely a black
0:39.4	woman. You are in a place of blooming. You have big dreams and visions and goals for your life,
0:48.3	but you want to live a little simpler. You want to live a little freer. You want to live from a place of aligning with your
0:59.3	values and feeling whole and well and healed versus making moves from a place of pain and chaos and just doing things because you've always
1:13.8	done them that way. You are also probably someone who feels like you are kind of like
1:20.0	going against the grain of what typical people are doing right now in society. And so you probably feel like a bit of an outlier
1:30.3	a little bit as well. At least that's where I am right now. So if you're listening to this
1:36.2	podcast, you have at least a few of those traits. And sharing these six reminders slash
1:41.2	tips with you from the film that I watch called Perfect
1:44.2	Days. I am sharing them because I feel like they will help you to live your life as
1:52.1	you're blooming and getting your life in order and together. But living in such a way where
1:58.4	you are living simpler with more ease, more joy, and it won't be because of stuff
2:09.5	necessarily. It won't be because of you accumulating all this stuff. Okay. So let's go ahead and get into it. And if you have a journal,
2:19.3	I would invite you to go ahead and get your journal out, get a pen, and write these reminders
2:25.4	out, and then think through these things in the coming days and actually in the coming
2:30.2	weeks, because we are obviously at the end of pretty much the end of October.
