0:00.0	We are finally in Bali, guys. Welcome to episode 12. I'm always happy to be here talking to you guys.
0:08.5	And yeah, I'm in Bali at the moment. We arrived about four days ago. And I made sure that, well, my
0:17.0	therapist told me, she said, you know, make sure that you get yourself grounded,
0:25.4	because I think if I didn't hear those words from her, and she didn't give me that permission to almost not do much work, not stress about work, not think that I had to get on the ball
0:30.5	straight away, I think I would have really got myself stressed and now looking, you know,
0:37.2	onto the situation, it would have been for no reason,
0:40.3	which I just think is a good perspective sometimes because I think it's about what we,
0:45.7	you know, the pressures that we put on ourselves and then trying to live up to that.
0:49.8	So the fact that I had that permission from my therapist and then myself that, you know what,
0:55.8	just give yourself four days, give yourself four days and then you can start, you know,

1:23.8	being in the moment, and I cannot explain guys how I'm feeling. And I knew there was always
1:32.7	this quote of environment will always trump willpower. So if you're an environment, if you're
1:38.1	surrounded by certain people or certain things or a certain lifestyle, it most likely will
1:42.6	trump your willpower to be the thing that you want to be.
1:45.9	And over here, just being surrounded by everyone's, just the way of life, I would say, the nature,
1:53.9	the sun, the beach, the foods, the fitness, it's everything that I could ever dream for. I'm naturally quite an adventurous person.
2:06.5	I like being active. I enjoy, like I genuinely enjoy eating yummy, yummy, tasty, delicious foods.
2:15.7	I think everyone does, but I, yeah, I couldn't feel any more at home here.
