Let's check in with ourselves today.

You know, 80% of the battles that we face, I believe, are in our mind.

You know, Bob said, free yourself from mental slavery,

or emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

Only ourselves can free our mind. I like to see our mind like a playground,

playground for ideas, a place for us to romanticize ourselves, to hang out, to chill. But then sometimes that inner dialogue, that inner conversation,

that inner talk, that inner view,

it gets so ugly, it gets so negative that we find every single way to escape ourselves.

You know, life is a mirror.

Often, life will mirror how our inner dialogue is sounding, even if we're avoiding it.

Even if you're just look into your environment, you know, how's your car right now?

How's your bedroom?

How's your home?

How's the fridge?

Do you have moldy food in the fridge that's been there for a

minute that you haven't thrown out? If so, I guarantee there's some thoughts in the mind that I've

been lingering around that you haven't thrown out. We have to check in with ourselves, like truly check in with ourselves.

Because it's very easy to drift away and then it's very easy to fall out of place.

And then we have to get all this energy and trying to get back in the direction that matters.

Now let's have some grace for ourselves, right? Grace is a beautiful thing. So is

gratitude, gratitude for the fact that we are still breathing, that we are still here. But often

we need to realize that some of us have been grinding ourselves into the ground a little bit too much.
