0:00.0	Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
0:09.7	Stop explaining yourself.
0:13.8	Stop explaining yourself.
0:16.3	My gosh, I kind of allowed myself to internalize the beauty of this a few years ago, and it has brought me tremendous peace, not to mention it's probably saved me a, my gosh, a crap ton of energy over the years.
0:33.7	Explaining ourselves is not only futile in a lot of cases because people don't want to understand us,
0:39.6	but also it shows where we're not quite confident, we're not quite steady, because when we're
0:44.1	explaining something, when we're defending something, often there's a part of us that believes

2:02.6	no idea how many times people ask me like, why are you so happy? How are you so joyful? Like,
2:07.3	that's even something to explain my friends. You know, actually someone said to me recently
2:13.6	in a group class that I was in a workout class, They were like, wow, Susie's always so happy.
2:18.3	How are you always so happy? And instead of literally breaking down my routine, knowing that I
2:23.1	tell everything that we teach in self-coaching society, I do and apply myself, I just go,
