Hey yo, what's up my people it's Nicole welcome to the pod. The cure for chronic pain

with me Nicole sacks how are you doing today? Wow it has been quite a morning. I don't

remember if I've talked about this yet but I think I have. I have dedicated myself

morningly to a 30 minute silent meditation practice. It is the first thing that I have

dedicated myself to consistently and really made you know a hard line dedication to in

a long time. It's kind of what I'm asking you guys to do with journal speak because

I don't need to dedicate myself like that to my journal speak practice anymore and of

course as a typical human. The second I don't need to dedicate myself to something I

stop and I'm still working on dedicating myself to exercise which is my next final frontier

but this meditation thing I am really in I'm all in and so the way it has been communicated

to me that would be most effective for me to do it is to sit in silence to sit in silence

not and this is not me telling you guys that you have to do this this is just me and

so I thought how can I best sit in silence so I got some of those spongy earbuds ear what

of the hell what are they called I don't know they're not earbuds because those are the

things that you put in your ears to listen to music ear plugs ear plugs there we are it's

really early in the morning guys anyway I got these ear plugs there's like you know the

cheap crap ones that you squeeze into your ears and I thought I can sit in silence in the

mornings regardless of what's going on in my house with these ear plugs in and so I decided

to meditate right when I got up as the kids are getting ready to leave for school and oh my god

that was so unrelaxing up and downstairs and you know I don't know if your kids are into wearing

dock Martens my kids are back really deeply into wearing dock Martens which were really trendy when

I was in high school it's kind of funny to watch the 80s come back as a parent in my late 40s
