Hello, bienvenito.

Welcome one and all to a brand spanking new episode, fresh out the oven, like a delicious cinnamon roll baked at your local cinnabon. You can smell that shit a mile away. Delicious. It's ready for you to feast on. That is the low-life podcast, and we're coming in hot for you, baby. I'm your flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, white wine drinking, talky finger licking, ice coffee sipping, hot mess of a host, Lorenzo von Rumpf.

And I'm so happy to be here with you today. There is no place I'd rather be than right here in this moment with you here right now. I hope you're having a beautiful day and a great week so far, but if you're going through it right now, a bit of an existential crisis, you're at a crossroads in your life. If you're feeling stressed out with work or your family relationships or your personal life just feels like it's in freaking shambles right now and you need to escape for a little bit because you're feeling depressed or anxious right now. Don't you worry, boo-boo, don't you fret. You have come to the right place. We're about to turn that frown upside down. We got a great episode in store for you today. I'm so happy you're taking some time for yourself because I know my low lifers. I know that you are selfless and it's so easy to put other people's needs before your own a lot of times. We forget to take care of ourselves. And so it's really important for you to do that and you're doing that today. You're choosing to give yourself an hour of joy. You're going to laugh. You're going to learn something in this episode. There's some great takeaways in this conversation. But you're doing something for you, which is really important to do in life. And we can't help other people if we're not taking care of ourselves. The queen always tells me the most important thing for you to worry about is what's happening between your two ears. What the hell is going on in that mind of yours? As long as you're taking care of that, then you could help others. Then you could do great things in the world, but you got to take care of home base. And so I'm happy you're here for this one because you are definitely going to be taking care of home base today. Oh, and you're going to level up for 2024. We're all about leveling up. This is our Renaissance era, boo. And so this is the type of episode where you're going to learn so much.

It's a very transformative type of conversation because there's so many great takeaways.

Before we get into this week's very special episode, though, let's talk about mental health.

Nobody asked about my mental health score this week on a scale of one to 10, one being bottom of the barrel,

feeling like complete shit.

10 is euphoric bliss.

You're feeling on top of the world.

I'm definitely not there, but I'm going to rate my mental health this week, a solid

8.2 out of 10.

I'm feeling pretty damn good in this moment.

I'm going to ride this to the wheels

fall off because as you know, I could detour very quickly in spiral.

So right now I'm feeling pretty good though. There are some contributing factors to why my

mental health is on a bit of an upswing right now. One thing that's really helped me, and this is a

mental trick that I've been doing,

and I'm going to share it with you because maybe it will help you out as well. But I've been choosing

to focus on these little glimmers in life. Now, I know the word glimmer, but I wasn't familiar with

using it in this context. Glimmers are the opposite of triggers that hurt your nervous system

and send you into fight or flight mode. Glimmers are those opposite of triggers that hurt your nervous system and send you into
