Hello everyone I'm your host Lexi Lombard and you're listening to a new episode at

the at Lexi podcast it's a Friday Isn't it funny how I'm just a big

fat liar? On the last episode which was how to do hard things I made the point that

I post on Tuesday so I'm on Tuesdays so I'm going to record on Mondays

I'm going to allocate time to do this how great is that that I can just look forward to

this moment in my schedule where I sit down and I record whatever it is that I'm

feeling thinking about inspired by motivated by

questioning etc on Monday here I am not even four days later exactly days later, sitting to record a new episode.

All right, I've got two reasons for it. One, I'm in the mood, and two, I impulsively decided

to leave the city on Sunday and not come back until Tuesday and or

potentially later and I don't want to worry about recording while I'm gone

especially if I'm in the mood now I would have made sacrifices if I didn't make that decision now.

I mean, if I made that decision now and I wasn't in the mood to do it,

I would have figured out a way to record on Monday.

But there was a great opportunity presented to me right now. I'm

alone at the house, it's quiet, and I've got something on my mind. I'm here to do it because

I am incredibly proud of myself right now.

Once again referencing last week's episode, I have been reading this book by Malcolm Gladwell called

Blink. It's a very dry non-fiction book. It's a lot of case studies trying to prove how our subconscious works, not only in the individual, but in the societal aspects and perspectives as well.

Some of it goes into war,

some of it gives examples with mental diseases,

it also gives examples with race.
