[SPEAKER_00]: A great program that is going to leave here, something that's going to make it sick. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm back in my consistency recording vibe. [SPEAKER_00]: Where am I? [SPEAKER_00]: You may ask because the vocals. [SPEAKER_00]: It feels like I'm in a endless room. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm in my cousin's house in Germany and she's moving out. [SPEAKER_00]: She's going to leave me. [SPEAKER_00]: So I am helping take self-back to her mother's and my aunt's house when we're dating.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, and if the first thing is in this place, I'm usually waiting for the movie, so if they didn't interrupt me, I will continue at home. [SPEAKER_00]: But the first thing is in this house, not this house, but this apartment complex was twenty twenty three, I believe, and I meet a mutual friend of mine, so my aunt and my cousin, and that loved the human being. [SPEAKER_00]: Help me, Roman says my life, in my ways than one. [SPEAKER_00]: She's very calm, very chill.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of a circle that I'm doing this right above her house, which is crazy. [SPEAKER_00]: But in today's episode, I'm talking about romanticizing your life. [SPEAKER_00]: And I've built a book, a book, a book, a book. [SPEAKER_00]: I have broken this down into different aspects. [SPEAKER_00]: I think romanticizing your life is very important. [SPEAKER_00]: I think as long as you feel unworthy, you don't want to, or you just don't know how to, or find it cringe.
[SPEAKER_00]: But personally, some of the ways of your fitness now that I do, is you say, do live your life for the plot, do it for the plot. [SPEAKER_00]: Make it adventure, make it fun, make it exciting. [SPEAKER_00]: Because generally, at the end of the day, it won't really happen yourself. [SPEAKER_00]: And in your mindset, which I think is very important.
[SPEAKER_00]: Before I die with him, it was currently nine-year-old millennium and seven-year-old millennium in the UK and thank you for joining me. [SPEAKER_00]: As I mentioned, it all starts with the mindset. [SPEAKER_00]: You need to see yourself as well the of gentleness, attention and beauty. [SPEAKER_00]: You might know what the result comes to.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which isn't really easy thing to say, but I think it's very important for people to know and do this and practice it despite the difficulty. [SPEAKER_00]: You need to create small pockets of joy and meaning in this. [SPEAKER_00]: Ficking chaotic world me loving, because when you say this out loud and clear, womanly says in your life actually matters. [SPEAKER_00]: And if any of you think it's cringe or childish, then you're saying the point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Being able to remind you of your life is often known as Opus Neel deity as being narcissistic, or even go-coded. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you see these people in Instagram or TikTok. [SPEAKER_00]: It's become a trend. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, people feel like it's fake happiness and it's not about. [SPEAKER_00]: being intentional, but the point is about being intentional. [SPEAKER_00]: It's about thinking of thinking of things that are deeper than the aesthetics that you're living.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a way of choosing to see meaning in your life. [SPEAKER_00]: The mind is as your life is not pretending in life is perfect because that's how it feels when you're being just prosthetic. [SPEAKER_00]: It's treating your life like your existence, like your matters. [SPEAKER_00]: It's romanticizing and enjoying the mundane things of life where [SPEAKER_00]: Generally, Josh should be coming from.
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought of two people, right now, as I was saying, my uncle, the shout out to you, out to your uncle. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, he, after I got into quite a bit of the podcast, I'm going to say his name, shout out to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But he has made me more of a realist, and he's known that people in my life and support system that I turn to when I'm like, [SPEAKER_00]: I need a reality check and I feel like escape is a lot of the situation isn't working and I'm like he really romanticizes the shit out of his mind in life. [SPEAKER_00]: He wakes up every day at five o'clock and it shows. [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I have to suffer the pain of the weights. [SPEAKER_00]: I have to lift weights.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to beat my mindset. [SPEAKER_00]: I have to be there for myself. [SPEAKER_00]: He romanticizes things in his life and it's become a lifestyle. [SPEAKER_00]: It's become routine. [SPEAKER_00]: It's become discipline. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, the second person that I thought of is a U.T. [SPEAKER_00]: local allies, and she, most of her vlogs tend to be around romanticizing your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Her main thing is the life, and she doesn't really beautifully, I'm leaving the link down below for her episode. [SPEAKER_00]: One of her episodes where you can go have a look. [SPEAKER_00]: When I think of these two people that I just mentioned, I think about how they reclaimed agencies their life, how they reclaimed control, how them
[SPEAKER_00]: However, basically saying our mind is changing your life means I deserve beauty even if no one sees it I deserve joy even if I'm healing and I deserve softness even the way it tells me to be hard It's emotional intelligence It's grounding, it's resistance It's not pretending life is perfect It's just killing you to the mundane, day-to-day things that you generally have to do for the rest of your life If you really do think about it, that's crazy
[SPEAKER_00]: So what do you know, my design in your life really about you may ask? [SPEAKER_00]: Personally, I think it's not fake positivity, or pretending you're in your life with a memory. [SPEAKER_00]: It's about noticing the beauty of your life. [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously in the sky, have you seen the trees? [SPEAKER_00]: Are you appreciating your health? [SPEAKER_00]: Are you grateful for the people in your life?
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it's your mom, your dad, your sibling, your friend, your loved one. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyone who's giving you support, okay, or love with a teacher, or co-worker, it could be anybody. [SPEAKER_00]: There's somewhere somewhere around somewhere out in this world who does not have these support people or health or a house. [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever it is that you're taking for granted, it's about appreciating it. [SPEAKER_00]: And a month you're sizing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about growing your skin saying, I don't have to growing your skin. [SPEAKER_00]: I get to go on a work because my body functions properly because I'm healthy because I'm wealthy because I'm grateful. [SPEAKER_00]: It's about noticing that beauty. [SPEAKER_00]: Romanticism is when you light a candle.
[SPEAKER_00]: No further aesthetic, but because it brings you back into your body, because the smell says you, because you find the act of putting on the candle very relaxing in the ashenous of love, obeying as of flowers and drawing examples in later on in the episode. [SPEAKER_00]: It's really about finding me in your daily life and start waiting for the big moments to feel alive.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's this famous Pinterest call, I think it's Pinterest already, I've read it, I've seen it on, where it says, don't wait for a fancy occasion to read that dress or use that utensils or tell your loved ones you love them, make their life easy way to short. [SPEAKER_00]: I was a little kind of like an argument with someone using me and they were like, as you always say, I feel short, and I'm like, [SPEAKER_00]: Why do you have to do that to me now?
[SPEAKER_00]: The way you face it is very much like. [SPEAKER_00]: You're taunting me in a way, but guys, I'm not taunting you, I promise that's where I came to mind. [SPEAKER_00]: And then you were just saying, it's about finding me in your life. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not waiting for big moments to feel alive.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also had TikTok yesterday, of somebody lecturing friends here in Nairobi, going to go try and wedding glasses that they, I think they picked two that they wanted in one where they, I don't know if they picked it for each other or themselves and then they, [SPEAKER_00]: They both go to pick which dress looks just looks best in them, which I find really, really cute. [SPEAKER_00]: Romantic season in life is in a trend, and you know, I mentioned TikTok and Pinterest.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a compliment kind of thing. [SPEAKER_00]: In a way that's overwhelming, Romantic season how to find our present or gratitude. [SPEAKER_00]: And a major mental health in this podcast, and I talk about it quite a bit, and it doesn't mean to mental health if you think about it. [SPEAKER_00]: It helps you not feeling visible, or for a burnout, still being emotionally ill. [SPEAKER_00]: Reminds isn't left to stop so all these feelings. [SPEAKER_00]: It helps with anxiety.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're literally slow down in the moment. [SPEAKER_00]: It helps with numbness. [SPEAKER_00]: It counters this by engaging your senses and your heart and forcing you to be present in the moment. [SPEAKER_00]: It increases self-worth because it's proof you don't believe you matter. [SPEAKER_00]: And if you are listening to you saying you're like, what? [SPEAKER_00]: You know, matter.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think some people who are developing information in their way or some people just need to hear. [SPEAKER_00]: And then if you haven't heard this in a while, you matter, maybe, between a man, you matter. [SPEAKER_00]: If you're nearly like, what, why does she think you're saying between a man? [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, uh, on the joke that I have, that I call people between a man, because it's to say, hey, guy, hey, hey, man, come back to the beach for, what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Or come back maybe between a man's, and when both of those, like, right now is the alien, so we can only joke. [SPEAKER_00]: But, yes, you may be between a man, matter. [SPEAKER_00]: And you will be overwhelming to say, in your life. [SPEAKER_00]: The amount of sales in your life all some helps work being consistent and having discipline. [SPEAKER_00]: And I think the ritual of being consistent is very, very, really.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I mentioned, I mean, I'm going to be like he wakes up and works out even though he doesn't want to. [SPEAKER_00]: And when he's sick and he's in the realm, coming rain or sunshine and listening maybe unable to, he will show up in that [SPEAKER_00]: He will find me in the workout and he can visit her to healing you. [SPEAKER_00]: Once you live in the time you are crying, culture, in dorm school, in the living room.
[SPEAKER_00]: By living in the time you are crying, culture, in dorm school, in the living room. [SPEAKER_00]: We only mean a time where a grand culture, don't scolding, and constant crisis in this world is happening around us when people feel stuck over and invisible, and romanticizing the genetically brilliant, or when you're saying, I choose joy anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: The word means you to run, when romanticizing says, [SPEAKER_00]: pause, notice the light coming through the curtain, you know, on my life. [SPEAKER_00]: I just feel my little bit for the take when I'm, like right now I drove, I wasn't in a taxi and came here to this house from home and I was literally just looking on the window thinking it's seven a.m. [SPEAKER_00]: But the world is so still, the A is so crisp, the building looks so beautiful in the light.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter, it's lately, which is also just beautiful, but it's interesting seeing the contrast. [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I think there's a level of beauty in romanticizing your life. [SPEAKER_00]: In finding the choice, these rituals can help you regulate your nervous system. [SPEAKER_00]: It helps you affirm your identity and create rhythm when life feels chaotic. [SPEAKER_00]: What I said, rhythm, I'm nearly thought to make a movie.
[SPEAKER_00]: We are like a dance where you're dancing to the living of life. [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean? [SPEAKER_00]: You got full of love and who cares? [SPEAKER_00]: You are the main character you like, you guys. [SPEAKER_00]: It's you, as the main character and other people are supporting characters. [SPEAKER_00]: Your journey isn't extra. [SPEAKER_00]: It is freaking essential.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think right now, the being the time where there's so much insanity happening in the world, so much unfortunate events, so many crazy things. [SPEAKER_00]: Happening, some in world, some in general side, some in wildfire things, some in injustice. [SPEAKER_00]: There's a man who I follow on Instagram and love her podcast of Shadow Sofia Bush.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've talked about you quite a bit in the podcast, but I must say listening to her podcast work in progress really puts into perspective how [SPEAKER_00]: And you'll find the balance between showing up and being an activist and being really open while simultaneously trying to find your own life because it really does get fucking overwhelming. [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want someone to go ten, ten, two, if you'll stress down or need them help with [SPEAKER_00]: Finding that balance, I think Sophia Bush does it really well. [SPEAKER_00]: And it nourishes human and she's very authentic about how she feels and how stressful it can get, but I believe that my Sophia Bush and I love that boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm going to give you guys an example of how you can... We're not to say to your life in front of your team and my name and being the knife. [SPEAKER_00]: It could be the way you pour your tea, house and life hit your kitchen well, the smell of the lotion, your plan and you... Is nothing like ground, grind you, grind you, instead of pushing you through surviving what you may see. [SPEAKER_00]: This name deserves care. [SPEAKER_00]: This moment is out of the tension.
[SPEAKER_00]: This moment is out of love. [SPEAKER_00]: You did it with me in the glamorous, but it really is still sacred. [SPEAKER_00]: It could also be letting a candle before juggling or working like you in a film or send me to burnout. [SPEAKER_00]: It could be candles creating playlists. [SPEAKER_00]: enjoying your outfit and your outfit. [SPEAKER_00]: It could be talking to yourself in the mirror and these things allows you to retain your rhythm and enjoy all the demands hustle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Small daily is defined. [SPEAKER_00]: Driven joy is a radical [SPEAKER_00]: You can say this by consuming your poor, do feel like your mind says your life is fake and frustrating and annoying, but I'm just telling you it is not. [SPEAKER_00]: These are just vibes. [SPEAKER_00]: The result in your good being, your spirit will save, where I love to enjoy this. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give you guys more examples over as you can know when to say their life.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say dressing cute even on every moment seems you're dressing comfortably anyway. [SPEAKER_00]: You know how, making play is so much your move. [SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely devour this one and I love doing it a lot. [SPEAKER_00]: Watching the sunset like the personal performance is another one, talking to yourself with tenderness. [SPEAKER_00]: Give me a day at being so weird, this is interesting. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I'd be good at that because that's kind of crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: But be really, really mean. [SPEAKER_00]: By fish clouds for self-news and I do not often will take your coming, you know coming will be a film, but I would never do that, but hey, hey, that's the above I'm excited you know. [SPEAKER_00]: Start narrating your life and your headache to study, that's a challenge. [SPEAKER_00]: I think of the I do that from time to time, but I pull off, step up, drinking really little bit too much of rush.
[SPEAKER_00]: Making tea or putting the lips glass on before your work, bouncing with tea, I tend to do things last time that I mentioned. [SPEAKER_00]: You could listen to lawful music or washing dishes, like it's a mini week, you could join in the coming light sitting in your belly like it's a dream. [SPEAKER_00]: You can talk to yourself straightly in the menu for me low. [SPEAKER_00]: You can wear earrings or dress nicely just to go to the shop nearby and feel good.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll compare makeup in the house having many girls do that. [SPEAKER_00]: Passing me the one that I would say I have done is upset treating your skin care routine. [SPEAKER_00]: I've loved that at least for yourself. [SPEAKER_00]: When I tell you I have been so consistent with my skin care, but every single person around me, even the guys may like me. [SPEAKER_00]: My uncle, then something like this, can you enjoy it?
[SPEAKER_00]: All of the other asks me, why haven't you been applying? [SPEAKER_00]: And very soon, I'm looking at it, I'm not going to be able to do anything and hopefully it works out, but whatever it is, I focus on it in your life. [SPEAKER_00]: You can not mantisize the time, make it better.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not a virgin on the phone, you're not doing anything, you're not selling for creating a valuable mate, your life feels messy, you're not doing too much, you're doing what it feels like to be human again. [SPEAKER_00]: It can be small, but it all adds up. [SPEAKER_00]: So that means you feel like your life is yours. [SPEAKER_00]: My change to you in between is when my decision won't bring me on this week.
[SPEAKER_00]: Time making coffee into a ritual may make you commit like the carnivalage from looking at me and making yourself. [SPEAKER_00]: You might not have to live like a princess bed, but if it feels like a tea, that's enough. [SPEAKER_00]: I am encouraging you to reclaim softness and presence in your day to day life. [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that the really ask? [SPEAKER_00]: No. [SPEAKER_00]: The living living life waiting for Sunday isn't just the... isn't that just being aesthetic?
[SPEAKER_00]: When we ask again, no! [SPEAKER_00]: As the thickest outskirts, not the point. [SPEAKER_00]: And the person in the end, that what if your life is too hard right now? [SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly where my decision life matters. [SPEAKER_00]: In here, in which we hear, are well-being of beauty, in very most ordinary days. [SPEAKER_00]: Some of you feel the affirmation that wanted to share with you guys before your uploads, I'd love to feel joy even when you make quiet days.
[SPEAKER_00]: My daily life is worthy of love, beauty and attention. [SPEAKER_00]: I immediately wrote for the weekend a success of a partner to feel alive, I choose life right now. [SPEAKER_00]: My question to you, if you make what's a thing now, what kind of main character would you be today? [SPEAKER_00]: Until next time, stay your space locked and stay blue. [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, you two aliens.
