| 0:00.0 | When we're not being a heart on earth, when we're being hard on ourselves and it's not working because it worked for us in the past, but we hit a wall, what do we do? |
| 0:13.0 | Got to change approach. Well, how do we do that? |
| 0:15.0 | When we got to look at where is this stress coming from? |
| 0:18.0 | Where is this stress coming from? Something we've already talked about. |
| 0:21.0 | Your health, your wealth and relationships. |
| 0:24.0 | And for most of you, I would suggest looking at your wealth, slash career and relationships. |
| 0:31.0 | Because a lot of the stress that comes from that sabotage is people in the health area comes from those two other areas. |
| 0:40.0 | Are you being too hard on yourself? |
| 0:43.0 | How would you even know? Do you use names or tough talk or, you know, derogatory comments? |
| 0:51.0 | When you self talk, when you don't achieve what you want, and I want to ask you this, how is it working for you? |
| 0:58.0 | Does it help you achieve those goals or does it just kind of add on to the stress you already feel? |
| 1:04.0 | The guilt, shame, whatever embarrassment you already feel from not accomplishing those things that you keep trying to accomplish? |

| 2:17.0 | I've been watching stuff on Netflix. I've been watching series. I've, you know, seen the Loki series most recently, just finished that the other night. |
