| 0:00.0 | Life can often feel like someone's literally drowning you, especially if you're in an extreme case of anxiety or stress or depression. |
| 0:09.0 | And I feel like you just need to feel like you can just come up for a tiny bit of that. |
| 0:16.0 | My thought, my emotion, my energy and my body are my instruments of function. They are not impediments in my life. |
| 0:23.0 | A person can say with their 5% of their conscious mind, I want to be healthy, I want to be happy, I want to be free. |
| 0:31.0 | But the body is on a whole different program, so then how do you begin to make those changes? |
| 0:39.0 | Whatever position you're in right now, you can change no matter what it is, no matter how horrific, no matter what you've been through, no matter what you've done. |
| 0:45.0 | Like there is a way of wondering. If you are in a dark place and you hear, change is real, change is possible. |
| 1:01.0 | Doesn't that lift your mood? Don't you want that to be true? And once you allow it, because you have to allow it, once you allow that to lift your mood, you're like, I feel better just by thinking I can change. |
| 1:14.0 | That was huge for me. That was like moment one was when I realized I actually can change. |
| 1:19.0 | So this thing that feels like a death threat, this like smothering cloud of just like despair, it can clear away. |
| 1:26.0 | And it immediately, and it's not like, oh, went from gray skies to blue skies, it wasn't that immediate. |
| 1:31.0 | But it was literally immediately a lighter load just because I realized I can change. |
| 1:37.0 | So I was like, whoa, I can change. None of this is a death sentence. That's so like just amazing. That was enough to get me going. |
| 1:45.0 | And people are always looking for, how do I have that energy I'm depressed? I'm down to myself. How do I get the energy to push through? |
| 1:51.0 | Man, you've got to find a way to find energy in that. You can change. So whatever position you're in right now, you can change no matter what it is, no matter how horrific, no matter what you've been through, no matter what you've done. |
| 2:01.0 | Like there is a way out from under it. But part of it is allowing that sense of lightness to be there. So I allowed it. |
| 2:08.0 | And so it began to lift off my shoulders, which then encouraged me to take more action to read more to get better. |
| 2:13.0 | I started my obsession with gaining skills that reading isn't about checking a box. It's about actually getting better at something that lets you do something. |
| 2:20.0 | And I need a better way to explain this. This is one of those things. Like if people really understood what I'm talking about right now, this one fact would change their life forever. |
| 2:28.0 | You don't get skills because it looks good on the resume. You get skills because it lets you do the thing you want to do. |
| 2:37.0 | If you're playing soft music or you have your plugs in less sensory information coming to your brain, so you're disconnecting from your environment, if you can sit your body down and tell it to stay like an animal. |
| 2:50.0 | Stay right here. I'm going to feed you and we're done. You can get up and check your emails. You can do all your texts. But right now, you're going to sit there and obey me. |
