Hello, hello everybody. I'm Lexi Lombard your host of the Alexi

podcast. Thanks for tuning in. I was obsessed with last week's episode. I just finished editing it and I posted it last night.

What's so funny is that, and when I say funny I don't mean hilarious, mean odd what's so odd is that when I was

recording last week's episode I was in such a dark headspace and when I was

editing it I was in a very neutral light leaning head space.

And if I was in the same head space that I recorded it as I was editing it, I think I would have scrapped the episode entirely,

but there's something really interesting about editing your own

stream of consciousness that was fascinating to me. I'm like, huh, that was really stressing out last week.

And in another way it felt so difficult and stressful while speaking the episode.

But while editing it, I'm like, it's not that bad.

Future, you knows that you're about to bounce back,

which is something that I also want to talk about

is our resilience as humans, our ability to bounce back, our ability

to be in a funk and really pull ourselves out of it and see the light and have things be

airy, easy easy breezy fun

fulfilling satisfying

energizing because negative feelings and stress and worry can be so incredibly heavy and so time consuming and so

draining and it's amazing how now that I'm a little bit happier.

I'm not needing as much sleep.

I'm not needing as much really anything.

I'm pretty good to go.

I've also had a lot of external factors that have amped up my mood.
