And this is episode three of the autumn diary series that we are doing for the month of September, October, potentially

a little bit of November. Let's see how the vibes are taking us. And we have released two other episodes up to this point. And this episode is all going to be about the autumn routine which was a requested episode topic for you guys. So we are excited to dive in. last episode we uploaded it is approximately 20 minutes ago. Yeah, we did a little break, we topped up our drinks, which is good. We had a bit of us.

What did we spoke about, you know, values, relationships, just like toppings, you know, just us. Very, very us to just go into a very deep topic for 20 minutes and then be like, actually, oh, and then we looked at House of C.B. as well, with some dresses and now we're back. So this is... I was telling Kara that she needs to embrace her boobies in a literal and figurative sense. And if, again, if you follow us on Instagram, we keep harping on about this. We posted some pictures of...

We car posted some pictures of her outfit and what she looked like at her... Well, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's wedding. It's wedding. And she looked absolutely gorgeous, stunning, amazing in a red dress. It was very figure hugging, very sexy, very... Demure, very demure, very kissy, very femme fatale. And it was just stunning. And I was just telling Kara that she needs to embrace that energy more because she looked absolutely gorgeous. I feel like I'm in denial as well.

Like, I'm like, I have small boobs and like every time I say that, people are like, you know, you don't. I'm like, they're so small. They're so tiny. They're just so tiny, tiny. They're just so tiny, tiny. I think I, it's the, it's giving body dysmorphia, but it's fine. We move on. And I don't, I don't know. Yours are definitely bigger than mine. I think, you know what? I think it's part of, I was telling Leo this earlier. It's the second puberty. It's the mid, I mean, my mid-twenties.

I'm becoming a woman. You're becoming a... You know, ready to child bear. Child bear? So scary. To bear child. To child bear. To be with child. I feel uncomfortable that we're talking about my boobs. So, let's stop then. Let's stop that right now. Let's move on. So, yes, we're talking about routines, but we also wanted to do our eyes and nose because we didn't do that in the last episode. So, I haven't thought of any. So, I don't know if you want to go for it.

Okay. But I was going to say maybe you can go for a spot. Go for it. My high was embracing the otominal vibes. I really am hating this word, but I say it so often. The otominal vibes of when I was in London this week because I'm actually kind of grateful because Amsterdam was really, really hot when I wasn't here. It was like 28 degrees and in London, it was like quite moody. The whole time I was there, like it was very great. It was. And it was like raining or misty.

Yeah. I was just thoroughly enjoying it and on one of the days I was very privileged, grateful, lucky to have my like whole day meeting at the NED, which if you aren't familiar with it, it's a very old hotel, but it also has a lot of restaurants in it in London and it's in this old bank. And it's an absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous building. I had no idea how gorgeous it was.

It's the restaurant in the bars kind of known for, I think, a lot of finance bros hanging out there, but apart from that, it was just so. So beautiful. And my company basically works with it. We have a partnership with them, which is why we were there. And I definitely want to try and stay there the next time I go because it was just, it was dark acting time before. There was old books everywhere.

It was out of like, it was like out of a Pride and Prejudice movie, the whole ways that I was walking down and I picked up some of the old books that were like out for show in the in the shelves and I picked up this like cute children's and psychopedia and it has a very interesting entry. So I just really enjoyed that. And then like I said in the last episode, I did a bit of a solo date like taking myself to a bookshop and I just, I really, I just enjoyed it thoroughly.

I felt very, I was, I was just sitting back to my playlist, my Autons at London playlist, which I created, I think last year and it was just perfect. It was perfect and I had a, I had a perfect, autumnal time and what's my low? And I felt a bit anxious about work at some, which probably makes sense because I was like on a work trip.

So and I think I'm also guilty, same as you, like I, I'm just very emotionally attached to my work and my productivity or like how happy people are with like what I do and even though there wasn't really anything wrong, I think I just did feel quite anxious and I'm just quite guilty at sometimes, like letting that bleed into like my free time, you know, like into my work life. And I know that there's no point in that because actually it's not going to make me do my job any better.

So it's not helping anyone to feel anxious about stuff like I think I, you know, to be able to zoom out a bit better. But oh and I was so, this is, so that was my goal. But then on the plus side I did also finish the Kindred's curse and I, the name is coming out. I didn't realise it wasn't a trilogy. There's a, there's a fourth one coming out. So I'm excited. So I finished the yesterday on the playlist. I love how you had a high low and then a high again. Which is, it's a feedback sandwich.

Which I call a shit sandwich. A high low sandwich. Actually, no, this is a, this is the best. It's a better alternative than a feedback sandwich because it's positive, negative, positive. Oh no, but it's literally a shit sandwich. Never mind, ignore me. Well, it's coming out. I like that. That makes sense. That's very cute. I love the dark, I love the dark academia vibes as well because there's like our local pub here as well. It feels very, very dark academia. Like there's a fireplace.

Oh my god. There's like, like you can sit by the fireplace. It's quite cute and then they also have the tables are quite nice. They have like lamps and then they have old books on them as well. So you do feel like you're, I don't know if, I feel like you're a student at a university. But you will have to go next time I'm there. Yes, we do. It is literally two minutes away. I should have taken you. We should have gone late during the day, you know, during the working day.

But okay, in terms of highs, I would say, I've, this is very cheesy, but I've been enjoying. I've been watching a lot of like old, early 2000s movies. You would. Yes. So I had a week of watching like one Harry Met Sally and then also watching how to do a guy in 10 days. Such a good movies. As lame as that sounds, that is my high. I honestly just loved it. I got so cozy and just watching feel good movies. Couldn't stop smiling.

Ed refused to watch it, but then he was sitting there and he was smiling his face off and he loved it in the end. So it was just very cozy and also I feel like I rambled on about the flat, but I've got like some cute bits. I don't know if you could see, but like I've made it look a bit more homey, which is nice. And then in the evenings, you got to see it as well. So cute because we make it quite nice and damn light the candles. It's just, it's honestly my favorite place to be.

So I just had very, very cozy times in the midst of a really busy work week. So it was the perfect way to just unwind, which was nice. And then in terms of lows. Hmm. What was my love? I would say the ads are so annoying. I would say I maybe got a bit too stressed out at work. It's very similar to you, but I think I did over do it last week. And just in terms of like getting caught up in it, which is not fun. But it's boring, boring, lows.

But yeah, at least I had the high of unwinding after work, which was quite nice. And I'm going on holiday soon anyways. That's going homey. When do you leave? I'm going to Jordan next weekend. This time, this time in a week, I will be Jordan. Oh my God. And I will not be having cute, awesome no vibes. I will be on the pool, on the pool, on the pool side, with my father. Should be water. Yeah, I did my first. I just walk on water, just what I do.

I am going to be working out there, but at least, you know, being home with my family and just having like home food. And it will be the first time, I don't know if I said this before, but it will be the first time I go home and we're at the new house that my parents built rather than having being at our childhood home and stuff. So I'm very, very excited to see my family soon. My mom's message today. Is your childhood home like going to be sold or are you keeping it? No, it's going to be sold.

Oh my God. What are you feeling? Which I have tried to avoid thinking about because. Yeah. I've always had that house. Like when I say childhood house, like that was literally the house that I was in when I was 15 days old. You know, like that is genuinely the house. Obviously moved countries, but every summer we'd go back and that would be like, you know, we'd spend summers in our childhood home and it has so many memories. And I'm quite attached to it.

But at this, and also what's quite sad is, I know that when someone buys it, they're not going to be buying the house, they'll be buying the land. So they will, they will like, destroy the house as in like knocking down. It's just really weird to think about because it means that that house will literally just not exist anymore. Yeah. Which is crazy. I hope, I hope they would keep it, but I doubt that they would. So that's something weird to think about.

But something my dad always was quite good at because he, like we moved house is quite a bit like even when we were in Abu W, we moved to like three or four different houses. He just always reminded us that the memories we have there, the good and the bad will always be there. And you can only hope that, you know, you have nice new experiences where you end up moving and that you hope that the people that move into that house or move into that space will have good memories in there as well.

So it might be a sad thing, but you're hoping that the next life and the next family that live there end up having as good memories. And that's all you can kind of hope for. So I'd like to think of it that way. Like someone else will have a childhood, you know, in that garden and like memories and stuff. So I'd rather that than it to not be used, you know, but it's a weird, weird thing to think about.

I guess the good thing as well as like all the furniture and stuff, most of it we've taken to the new house. So the new house now kind of feels like the old house and to some extent, like it still has that aspect of it. Yeah, it's very, I'm sure I will be devastated the day it happens, but I don't know. I don't want to think about it too much. No, that's probably, I was just curious. I don't really have like a childhood home. Like because my parents have always been renters.

So, but have you stayed in one place for a long time or have, yeah, well, yeah, I guess. Like I, we lived in Glasgow. Don't remember that flat for a year. It lived in London for five. So that don't have that many memories. Then we moved to Hamburg and then we lived for like a 10 or maybe under 10 years in one flat. And actually we do still have that flat because then we moved down the road. No. We still have that flat, even though it looks quite different now.

And because my dad now uses it as his studio. I guess it's a big studio. Maybe that would be the equivalent. Because I mean, 10 years of like your childhood life is quite a big chunk. So that would, and then I was, yeah, my parents still live in that same flat that I had, then, you know, my teenage years in and stuff. So, and my room is still there. Like, you know, my, my brother now occupies a little bit, but it's still my room.

So I'm pretty lucky that they haven't decided to convert it into something different or that my brother's moved in there. Do you want to see me? Yeah. I feel semi guilty about because my room is so much bigger than his. But he does also just use it all the time. So funny. But maybe from the last years, my grandparents house, because if I have so many memories, yeah, my parents are, my parents are also selling my grandma's house. And I also, I feel like that's adulting as well.

You just, you have to let go of a lot of things, which is quite sad, but, yeah. Yeah, but they're still in our hearts. And at least we have, like, my parents are very, very happy in their new spot. So that's all I can ask for. I mean, your new house is gorgeous. And if he's like a resort, so anyone would be very happy there. You know what? I'm happy that you saw my old, my childhood home, Andy saw me go. Me too. So, yeah. At least you got to get a sense of both.

And he also saw, or when I lived in Abu Dhabi, he saw that house as well. So he's, you know, he's seen all parts of me. That's good. That's good. But, yes, that is it. Um, love that. Okay. Right, should we get into our routines? Yes. So I think this is going to be a quick episode, but we just wanted to share with you guys our, I guess, routines that we want to implement.

And the autumn months, it could also be routines that we're already doing, but just things that we definitely won't continue to do. I don't know if you, do you want to go first, darling? Yeah, honestly, my morning routine, it's, I mean, it's all nothing groundbreaking, to be honest. I just, obviously got my new coffee machine, which is a continued tie, to be honest. I also found out that sage in the US is Breville, and I had no idea that there was different names for it in different countries.

So I found that very curious. I wondered like why the marketing or branding department thought that sage was a more palatable name for the, you know, non-US market. If anyone knows, please let me know. I just thought that was curious. I got a sage brewery to express now like two weeks ago or something, and I just, and the coffee keeps getting better and better. Like it's honestly alive. His chain is just so good. Like the coffee is just so different.

So I kind of want to, obviously, keep getting better. Like the espresso tastes pretty solid now, but it's just obviously the milk. I'm still horrible at. So I posted a real on our Instagram of me making the coffee and I asked for some tips. So people have, we're very helpful, which is very lovely. Nice. Yeah. Which was so good to read. So again, if you have any more coffee tips, like please let me know.

And it's just, yeah, the milk frothing process, it's still not perfect, but it's, you know, I have like all my life to perfect it. So I'm excited and I want to learn how to move like pumpkin spice lattes homemade. Or I also want to learn how to make like chives. So yeah, yeah, I just want to be into like, yes, so much for, but like so much.

Because we, in our mind, we're like, yeah, when you come and say we can make pumpkin spice lattes and I literally Google it and it's, you need like cream, you need like pumpkin syrup. I don't know, it was a whole shenanigan. So you try it and then tell me how to do it. Well, because it seemed very fast. I asked my friend for the recipe because she, my specific friend from Hamburg, she's amazing at like anything DIY, like foodie. And she just put so much effort into making specific things.

She's incredible. And so that's what other cheen eats to start and take to go on Instagram because she just does these things. It's just for fun. And she's so good at them. Like she made like homemade strawberry matcha when I was there. Oh, oh. And you tasted incredible. And when we were working from home together during COVID, I'd go to her house a lot. And she again was making like PSL's a lot. So she homemade a certain pumpkin syrup. And it tasted so good.

It's probably like the best pumpkin spice latte I've ever had. I tried the Matt one at the airport. Did you eat milk? That wasn't terrible, you know? That's good. I like PSL. That's from a standard coffee shop, but not from Starbucks, you know? And you're in the UK. That's a good alternative, I guess. So but yeah, I want to, I've asked her for the recipe. So I hope that she sends it to me and it's not too difficult and I can. I hope it's like via pumpkin. Carve it yourself.

Take out, I fear maybe not. Oh, pumpkin and make. I truly fear that she may have made it completely from scratch. And I'm just not that morrismith. Norrismith. Married me into the pumpkin for 20 days. I admire these people so much. It just couldn't be further from who I am as a human being. So, but anyways, so I obviously, again, my mornings are very the same. Have been for years. It's always like some form of coffee.

So now again, I want to just, you know, implement that, continue to implement that in my new ritual. And then reading, obviously reading all my seasonal reads that we've been talking about. I ideally want to include or reintroduce like some type of reflection, whether it's actually sitting down to journal or in my notion home page, I also just have like a couple of like really short prompts which I haven't been doing for a while. So have you researched those? Have you been journaling recently?

Because I think you used to be so, at least you still don't know much. Yeah, but at least you, it's still a thing that you do. Because I remember it exists. It's quite nice that you, sometimes when you like look back at the journals and stuff, so it's nice that you still have that. I'm so upset that I'm not doing it more in every single time I journal. I feel so much better. Obviously. Why do you think you haven't done it? Do you think just like busy and you want to read inside?

I do think I want to read instead, but I also think it's probably like laziness because I know that like journaling will make you reflect and even though I know, it's like meditation. Like I know that's going to make me feel better, but I still don't do it. But I do think that journaling for me is probably even easier to implement than meditation just because I've been doing it for so long and I like, I think I just have to reintroduce it as like part of a habit.

Like even maybe when I go to the office, like before I sit down, like, you know, that I do it or like before I start work, once I feel like, oh my laptop, maybe to do it like five minutes. You just have to dedicate time, I guess, to do it. So keep me accountable. Ask me the next episode when we record whether I've done it. And then I want to do some form of slow movement. Like I've said two to three times a week. That could actually be going on a long walk. That could be stretching.

I actually don't have many class pass credits for the month because I was pretty over the last last week and I've downgraded my plan. So I'm going to have to try and like do some at home, which I haven't done since I moved time to them. So let's see how that goes. And I want to start taking vitamin D again in the mornings. And then evening, I think my morning is really smart routine to implement during these months.

So I'm beginning to think that's kind of the only one that Marco and I did take throughout the winter. And we maybe, maybe it's placebo, but we did think that it was doing something. No, it is good. And okay, do you just want to do your morning routine now and then we can talk about our evening. I didn't split it out. I didn't split it out was morning and evening. Okay. So you do your eat. Okay, join me still all the way. Yeah, just do it. Okay. So I guess the morning, I do have a morning one.

I want to slow down time in the morning. What I mean by that is to have, make sure I have time to have my cup of coffee in bed and actually take time to read because what I find that I, what I tend to do is I'll like get out of bed and then open my laptop and I'll start working at like 830 and I'll start working whatever, whatever. And then I snip out at some point to like quickly make a coffee, but then I'm drinking the coffee while I'm working.

So it means I'm waking up without having proper time to just like enjoy myself. So what I want to start doing is to make sure my routine in the morning is to wake up, go make a cup of coffee, get back into bed, have my cup of a cute and just do at least like, even if it's like 20 minutes just while I finish my coffee. I want to basically finish my coffee before I start work because what I tend to do is I get distracted with my work and then my coffee goes cold.

So I'm not even drinking half my coffee most of the time. Before the coffee gets cold. So I want to do that. I want to challenge myself and I want to go on daily walks. So I make sure it doesn't have to be a long one, but I want to at least every day go out of the house. Whether it's like 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes and whilst doing that I want to find like a new podcast that I'm obsessed with.

So I want to have a podcast that I can listen to while I'm on my walk or on the other hand at all due book. So I can switch it up, I can sometimes listen to like 30 minutes of an all-gy book or 30 minutes of a podcast while I'm on my walk. I'm going to start that to rex for you. I want to start that today. So after this I'm going to go for a walk. Can you force me to because I've been inside this house all day? Me too. I'm not leaving. Yeah, but you've also just like traveled. So you're fine.

I want to eat more. We kind of said this in our last episode, but I do want to eat more seasonally. So like embrace the like pumpkin foods, more vegetables, more soups, more comfort dishes. Want to do that? I want to keep a clean home. So make sure that I'm tidying the flat at the end of the day so that I'm starting the next day in a clean house because the worst thing is waking up and you have like a mess in the living room or a mess in the kitchen. I do not want that.

I want to make sure that I'm going to bed with a clean mind and a clean space knowing that I'm starting my day in a good environment. In terms of evening routines, I guess. Code unquote. I want to embrace like dim lighting candles since just like full on. I want my house to smell like vanilla wonderland. You know, I just wanted to be cozy. And yeah, buy more candles, more terminal theme candles, going to do all of that shenanigans. Or a big hack. Yes, I need to come in with that.

To let me have in sense in the house. Oh my god. Mark was like the one that's obsessed in our house. I know. I love that. Can you get Mark to convince Ed, please? I'm trying. I mean, there's ones with old types of different sense. So I'm sure you just have to find one that like Ed actually likes and then. Yeah. What's his, what's his reason with them? He thinks they're not safe. But I'm like, but candles are less safe than, but there's no open flame.

Like it could probably, you could probably touch like a paper with it and it wouldn't burn. Yeah, literally. So I don't know. But they're sleeping candles for sure. Yeah, this is what I was thinking. So I've told him this. I just know it out. I'm like, the flame. Yeah. And then you blow it out. So then it just like glimmers out. Yeah. Yeah. No, I, that is my strategies to convince him at some point. So I wanted to do that.

This is a bit rogue and I don't know how I'm going to do this, but I want to go on TikTok less. That's so rogue. Rogue of me because I'm the treat the one that's like, I'm fine. Yeah. It's not that destructive, but I've noticed I spend a bit too much time maybe on TikTok or like it's the first thing I do. Like I will wake up and then I'll go on my phone and then somehow open TikTok or like I'll finish work and I just go on TikTok. I don't want that to be like the thing that I do.

So I just want to go on at last. And another thing I want to do is I want to set daily intentions. So maybe that's something I could do in bed. And I basically just want to have every day have something that I want to set to do that I know will make me happy. And I want to just make sure I do that thing. So I can do that for today. So I haven't started today. But I know. I know. But I know. I started right now. Okay. What do I want? Okay. Maybe watch a cozy movie tonight.

And Ed and I have a relaxing evening already had a little cute movie night together. Love it. So that would be my day day. I want to start the perfect couple today. Cute. Oh is it out now? Yeah. That's out. Okay. I might want to. You guys can start it at the same time. Yes. I don't know how cute it's going to be though. I think it's more like a thriller revive. Hmm. Also so random. And I know we're not you know what I'll save it for the recommended the series recommendation episodes that we do.

So I'm not going to say it now. And then something I also kind of mentioned in the last episode. I want to do something creative at least once a week. It doesn't have to be big. It could literally just be like trying a new meal. That to me is creative. Testing your creative. Yeah. Cooking the tree creative. Yeah. I could. I don't know do a little doodle in a notebook. I don't know something something creative that is like stimulating my mind in that way.

Even if it's like making a music a new playlist of like songs whatever it is. I want to do something. Yeah. Creative. I want to have a healthy sleep routine. That is something that I want to make sure I do. And I think it's because in autumn months slash winter months when it when the sun sets in the morning or that when the sun rises later I find it so much harder to wake up. And I don't want to be waking up feeling like shite because I've slept up let's say 12 am walking up a six.

So at least to help with like the struggle of yes it will probably be a bit harder to wake up when it's darker outside is making sure that we're fully rested. So I'm going to do that. And then the last thing I did was or the last thing I wrote for my routines is that I want to do one act of kindness every single day. You know that is it. Those are my routines every day.

Well I made dinner yesterday and we have leftovers so Ed doesn't have to cook or worry about dinner tonight so that was my act of kindness. That's lovely. That's very kind of you indeed. There you go. That is it. That is me. That is so good of a human being I am. She's just the best human being. I'm just so good. We just will aspire to be a little more like Kara every day. Stop it. I just can't. Okay. What's your evening routines from? So I completely agree with a bedtime thing.

So we I've said this before but Marko and I were thriving in our old house with our routine and are going to bed early waking up early and we have started to be better at it again. So I'm really proud of us. I just want to keep it up and not not let it be disrupted by our travels because I was away now. Yeah. I'm going to be going away again. Marko is going to be joining me in Hamburg but still just stick to us to be in bed by 11 10 pm.

Yeah. 10 or 11. It doesn't mean that I'm going to go to sleep at 10 pm because that's just not realistic for me. Like I just am a nighttime person. I know that. Yeah. I want to like just give myself the option to be falling asleep at that time. And then at the same time, I'm afraid I'm going to be more like downtime as well. Yeah. You're still more in relaxed mode so it helps you feel, you know, you're not using it that much energy. So exactly.

So I want to start and then again waking up obviously consistently at the same time like early like get into that type of routine or keeping it and reading versus social media and bed in general to be honest, I'm pretty good at this. Not to do my own horn but I think just since living with Marko it's really helped because Marko is not a social media user really.

He like posts his artsy stuff but he's not like scrolling before bed and I don't want to be scrolling it like I don't scroll in bed next to him. Yeah. That's just weird for one person to be on your phone versus the other person is not. I'm so funny.

So but that's just something I want to I guess keep doing because I am really feeling very creatively inspired to create more for our socials like just making cute videos and almost like using the idea of like oh I want to film the video to push myself to do certain things and like romanticize my walks or whatever because that's kind of what I did when I went on my solo date like I created, well I need to still edit the video but I was still I was doing it.

Yeah but I really enjoyed the process of like filming it and doing it and I kind of want to do that more whilst not still not consuming it anymore especially in the evenings. I also have cooking on my list so we all know I'm not probably the most engaged cook but I want to experiment with it a little bit more.

Markles are going to be away for a week and end of September and my friends are going to be here so which is nice because I won't actually have to be alone but I then will be the resident cook because obviously if people are singing your flat like you're cooking so you know I've got to channel my inner Marko. Yeah but you could do few things together where you like all are prepping something together or like all making sure and that's going to happen obviously.

Yeah you know I want to push myself out of my comfort zone to also be making meals for myself and all of this so. And then I wrote down like more cozy evenings at home that's a given and like watch more cozy content so from like our auto watch list like whether it's just when I was prepping this episode as well I was like having Gilmokos on in the background.

I feel like I've watched Gilmokos so many times now that like I just can have it in the background as like the vibes I don't need to like watch it actively. Yeah because you know from the second that you look you'll know what is happening. I know exactly what's going to happen.

I just find that very enjoyable I think even like when Harry Matt Sally I might just like put things more in the background you know like just because I want to finish actually and also the cozy YouTubers like embrace those people maybe find a couple new YouTubers

so I found a new YouTuber this morning who I've already watched two videos from this morning while I was like unpacking and stuff and like cleaning the coffee machine and her name is Morgan Long and she's also an illustrator and she does like a lot of like I think she

lives in I don't know it looks cute where she lives she lives somewhere in America but she does like a lot of like cozy book and crafts content and she's an illustrator I really said that but it's just I really enjoy it she gives me some of the vibes to darling Dezi who is obviously my favorite seasonal creator.

I was just going to say from like the few seconds of looking on the Instagram she seems very very similar in a very you know very awesome and it doesn't make you feel bad about your own life you know versus it just inspires you to romanticize your own life and give

you like creative inspiration which I think is I mean I know is like my favorite type of creator yeah and that's low key yet I was never done gratitude list before bed I maybe it's gonna be more like in my mind thinking about things that I'm grateful for and again

going in line with my goal of just thinking more about the positive yeah I love how you said that actually because it doesn't you it doesn't have to be something that you're sitting down and like writing in a book as long as you're me like the whole point of

it is just for you to like think of it and realize what you are grateful for and it takes two seconds it doesn't have to be something you have to do like 10 minutes before bed like I think it's just like making if you if you feel happy about something just realize

that you're you know grateful that you get to experience that or whatever and just having those thoughts more constant throughout the day you know yeah I had I saw something on the socials which was like this video where it was like oh the body that you're complaining

about is the body that like someone else wishes and prays for that they have like you know the job you have like you could apply this to like pretty much anything you have said about yeah that like people are just would be yeah would be so so grateful to have

what you have so I mean that's so true always a good reminder I think no that is so true I feel like this time well yeah ish this time last year was still like very very soon from when my dad was obviously just recovering from his surgery and I remember just like

just looking at like content online and then just seeing like all the little things that people would complain about or get annoyed about and I used to be like oh stop it that's so annoying and like when you're in that mindset you're like how are people complaining

about something so small which obviously like I mean now I'm a year later and I'm come I was literally giving having a tantrum about my laptop quality being shit like two hours ago but it's and you it's so easy to like get caught up in the day to day like little annoyances

and stuff but then yeah it's like going back to like actually the time where you realized how I don't know how good and how grateful we should be for the things we have in our life so yeah it is a good mindset to have yeah life is very precious and I feel very

feeling yeah realize it when it's too late and I don't want all of us to be one of those people so don't do it sorry let's not do today not be that person yeah okay because you're on that that you're hurting it's yourself so it's not upsetting I mean two

fair and also people around you with your bad mood so I'm trying to say something was I being too much bad I was hungry or the other day and I let it all work obviously no because we only have I was slash branch at like 2 p.m. and I was I was starvation all so I was

starvation all that's so funny I mean well my example of that was me having a tantrum about the computer and then Ed was literally doing other things and I kept calling him every five minutes and I'm not working this is not working picks me for me and I'm getting

annoyed and there it is it's because we have the best intentions and we know things rationally but at the end of the day we're just to just go at least like we're just little earlyings we feel things trying very intensely we do we know what I think that is

the thing I feel everything intensely if I'm annoyed I feel it so much so happy I feel it so much if I'm sad I feel it so much stress I feel it so much I feel I mean maybe we should rename this podcast the extra feelers the over the over feelers the over feelers

what a good word why doesn't that exist like I know yeah why don't we start a trend like I'm an over feel over feeling and you're an over feeler we're just over feelers that's okay that's okay it's better to be an over feeler than an under feeler you know

what you got what I mean it's better to feel something than to be numb on that note and note goodbye we end this episode right yes okay well we'll speak to you soon and we're hope you're enjoying this autumn diaries yes these ones so please know if you want us to record anything else specific in the future and follow us on Instagram and also read us five stars yes or at least because it does help us and you know it would be sweet of you we would be very delighted
