Hi, everyone.
Speaker:Welcome.
Speaker:I just finished my two weeks
Speaker:of break from social media, and to be honest,
Speaker:I didn't plan to start today, but it just happened
Speaker:and I am excited to start this new journey
Speaker:with what I'm going to share today,
Speaker:100 days or less, as I call it.
Speaker:But before I get into 100 Days of Bliss, let me just give you a backdrop story
Speaker:of what made it happen, like how I came out
Speaker:with this idea.
Speaker:So as soon as you know that
Speaker:for last two weeks I've been out, I have not been on social media, I paused,
Speaker:you know, publishing any podcasts episodes and I was just deliberate
Speaker:because there's a lot of things happening, you know,
Speaker:in my life, in my work.
Speaker:And there was too many things and all of a sudden you just started to feel heavy.
Speaker:I felt the load off,
Speaker:you know, everything that kept on
Speaker:coming up and a new projects coming up and I started to accept them.
Speaker:And you know, in amidst
Speaker:all that hope, you know, I lost what you know was
Speaker:there was a sense of fulfillment or joy coming out of those activities or,
Speaker:you know, a radical idea.
Speaker:As I listened to myself, I said, OK, I need to break, I need to let go.
Speaker:And it was scary in for a minute
Speaker:to think that you could stop social media
Speaker:and not have the need and not have to ignore
Speaker:any need to be on there, interact with people.
Speaker:And I did miss interacting, but I have to be honest,
Speaker:I enjoyed being with myself
Speaker:for those two weeks and things I did.
Speaker:If you listen to my episode at the start of the year
Speaker:where they talk about how little, you know, one should have
Speaker:a morning routine, their morning routine that fills you up.
Speaker:I do have that routine, but
Speaker:I also have tried to stay flexible in that sense.
Speaker:Sometimes when I cannot get up early enough, which has been for a while,
Speaker:then I just start with whatever
Speaker:is needed in the moment and then I come back to my old self.
Speaker:Most of the days, it's like, if you're late, you're going to get up.
Speaker:You need to get kids to the school, get them ready.
Speaker:And you know, that takes away.
Speaker:And when you get back, then you get time for yourself.
Speaker:And sometimes you know, there's not enough time for yourself in
Speaker:between there because, you know,
Speaker:obviously work also there, right?
Speaker:And. Going back to this thing,
Speaker:I had an idea that I, you know, one of the things that I do
Speaker:is meditation.
Speaker:I've been doing that for, I would say, a year now.
Speaker:And you know, for those of you who do not sit and meditate, that's completely fine.
Speaker:We all have our own way to connecting to the source.
Speaker:For me, meditation, sitting down, just relax and listening is a way.
Speaker:So I do that a few days ago.
Speaker:About two weeks ago, I started a challenge of hundreds of meditation without break
Speaker:because normally I've been flexible, like when I cannot do it,
Speaker:I like to call , I don't push and force, which also has that effect.
Speaker:But there is also, you know,
Speaker:there's an aspect of discipline, commitment to resolve
Speaker:and doing the things that you commit that you will do.
Speaker:So obviously, I wasn't doing that.
Speaker:I was just letting it slide in the name of flexibility and letting it call.
Speaker:And you know, there are times when you have to let go
Speaker:and you have to be the best judge of it.
Speaker:But for me, that was not, you know,
Speaker:that essential or anything critical.
Speaker:I was hoping it was just a timing issue or creating the time was the issue.
Speaker:So anyway, as I started by
Speaker:doing that and amidst that, may, you know,
Speaker:challenge, I had this idea that why am I doing the law?
Speaker:And maybe I need to have people with me on this journey to experience
Speaker:what it feels like doing something for yourself, for hundreds.
Speaker:So I, you know, last night I thought.
Speaker:So last night, I thought
Speaker:that I will do that.
Speaker:This idea came last night that I was thinking that I was tired
Speaker:and I was still not
Speaker:thinking that I would be doing it today.
Speaker:I'll be talking about today in my mind.
Speaker:It was something that I was going to plan.
Speaker:I was going to come up,
Speaker:you know how you fill up your soul for 100 days and making sure
Speaker:you make yourself a priority for the next 100 days and do something?
Speaker:The very first thing you do in the morning is something that you do for yourself,
Speaker:something that you know makes you happy.
Speaker:That just lets you instead of being sent to you, you
Speaker:know it could be times it could be music.
Speaker:It could be reading book.
Speaker:It could be exercise.
Speaker:It could be meditation, yoga, whatever it is, walk alone.
Speaker:You do start something with that.
Speaker:Intention that, you know, you are giving yourself fuss,
Speaker:you're making yourself as a priority because you know
Speaker:what, you wake up every day, the world will try to
Speaker:shout and grab your attention.
Speaker:Need you, everybody, your family, the wall, every thing
Speaker:needs your attention.
Speaker:And so often we just end up giving that attention
Speaker:to the world and others at the course of our souls.
Speaker:And what we ought to change is what I want to challenge
Speaker:you is how about changing that
Speaker:and starting your day with your self as the first person
Speaker:you work for, not the first person you attend?
Speaker:And and that, I know,
Speaker:will change everything.
Speaker:And I know right now you're thinking, Oh, I don't have time,
Speaker:if you're busy, you don't have time, you know, time is always created.
Speaker:It's it's not hard,
Speaker:it's a it's a construct.
Speaker:Human beings created time.
Speaker:There was a time when there was no time.
Speaker:There is no white right.
Speaker:We are the people who clearly died, so you can always create time.
Speaker:And it's not about the time, it's about the commitment.
Speaker:It's about making yourself priority.
Speaker:The challenges that you start your day with
Speaker:you being that priority.
Speaker:It could be minimum.
Speaker:You know, it could be for 15 minutes, or it could be up to an hour,
Speaker:depending on what fits your schedule.
Speaker:But minimum minimum, if you give yourself 15 minutes of priority
Speaker:right at the beginning of your day, I can guarantee you.
Speaker:And you know, 100 days later, your life will look totally different.
Speaker:You may be more healthy, you will be more attentive, you will be more present.
Speaker:If you're doing meditation, you will be more,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:focused on your food intake, your exercise.
Speaker:It will just happen naturally. You don't even have to think can do it.
Speaker:It will happen because that's what transformation looks like when you commit
Speaker:to something for yourself and you do it for, you know, a certain period.
Speaker:It just becomes part of you.
Speaker:And guess what?
Speaker:Confidence has just got to be a piece of cake.
Speaker:It's just going to build your confidence, your reputation,
Speaker:because everything you repeat in that day is going to become your reputation.
Speaker:And the most important reputation you have is with yourself
Speaker:if you are able to keep the promises that you make with yourself.
Speaker:You know, that would be the reputation you will have.
Speaker:Here's the thing that made me do it today
Speaker:instead of a week later, two weeks later.
Speaker:Here's the thing.
Speaker:Last night, as I was, you know, before I was going to bed,
Speaker:I met Marie did it and then I just wrote down on a book day challenge.
Speaker:I didn't do anything else.
Speaker:I just wrote down this challenge.
Speaker:I didn't think a lot about it.
Speaker:And I slept and I slept late.
Speaker:I think
Speaker:I went to bed around 11:00 and 12:00.
Speaker:My daughter walked into our bedroom and she said she couldn't sleep.
Speaker:So, you know, I took her back to her room.
Speaker:I sat with her for half an hour.
Speaker:And when I felt like she slept, I came back
Speaker:15 minutes later, she came back again.
Speaker:So, you know, now around 1:00 a.m., I tell her to sleep on my bed
Speaker:and then go back to the her room
Speaker:so that, you know, we could sleep comfortably.
Speaker:I only in the morning I heard this voice.
Speaker:And I'm really in a deep sleep, my eyes are closed.
Speaker:I'm sleeping with something in my consciousness.
Speaker:I heard this voice.
Speaker:Hold my hand and come.
Speaker:In my sleep,
Speaker:what I, you know, feels like the voice was selling grab,
Speaker:go and make yourself variety,
Speaker:sit down and meditate because if you don't get up now, you know
Speaker:it's going to end up getting laid and you're not going to do
Speaker:the meditation for us, you're not going to make yourself priority.
Speaker:And you know,
Speaker:it's not going to be on the challenge on the day
Speaker:when to solve.
Speaker:I wanted to negotiate like my
Speaker:something in me, wanted to get out and get up, but
Speaker:my body and my mind wanted to negotiate and it's like, OK, if I move minutes,
Speaker:let me just sleep a little bit more.
Speaker:I slept late and whatever, so I had all these excuses running.
Speaker:Here's the thing.
Speaker:There was somebody in me that was observing that all play.
Speaker:I think five
Speaker:or ten minutes later, I just got up
Speaker:and barely could close, open my eyes.
Speaker:I just walked into the other room where I normally meditate, and
Speaker:I thought he was about 4:30 in the morning.
Speaker:I just sat down and meditated and.
Speaker:And during the meditation, the next idea that, you know,
Speaker:same thing is challenged just came up and
Speaker:I just felt like it has to be done now.
Speaker:There was like something
Speaker:was guiding me that it has to be done now.
Speaker:And so here we are and making this challenge.
Speaker:You know, I could think of 100 different ways to do these things,
Speaker:but I think when something in you call it universe.
Speaker:Call it intuition. Call it God.
Speaker:Calling it life force, life, energy, whatever you want to call it, right.
Speaker:There is something in you that is telling you
Speaker:guiding you to take a stab.
Speaker:You have to just do it.
Speaker:You have to let it show you where it takes you.
Speaker:And this is
Speaker:me accepting to what is being shown to me.
Speaker:I don't know where this will land,
Speaker:but I know that if I continue doing this
Speaker:and people do that for themselves, if you, you know,
Speaker:commit 200 days of your time,
Speaker:15 minutes, 30 minutes an hour, whatever it is,
Speaker:that means you will have to get up that much earlier,
Speaker:you know, to create their time if you do not have much time.
Speaker:But if you do that?
Speaker:I know 100 days later,
Speaker:you know, your life will be different.
Speaker:In fact, you know, you also know that if you close your eyes and just think
Speaker:whatever you would like to do, whether it's music, does
Speaker:yoga, meditation, exercise,
Speaker:whatever it is, walking, reading, walk,
Speaker:whatever it is that you would spend 15 days at the start of your day
Speaker:to make yourself as a bride, the clothes of you close your eyes
Speaker:and you know, 100 days later, you'll be a different person.
Speaker:In fact, not only will be different person,
Speaker:your circumstances will be different, right?
Speaker:You may end up having more money.
Speaker:All of a sudden, you may have better relationships.
Speaker:You may have,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:you know, you might get the house you were looking for
Speaker:crazy, magical things that can happen when you start
Speaker:listening to your intuition and give yourself that time to do it.
Speaker:So I'm really excited that I'm going to do that. And.
Speaker:And I'm really hoping
Speaker:that you join me in this challenge at the end of the 100 days.
Speaker:I would plan anyone where we could.
Speaker:Everybody who participated could join online and celebrate
Speaker:together, share their experiences.
Speaker:That would be awesome.
Speaker:I would love to have some,
Speaker:you know, guest speakers
Speaker:coming in all kinds of things is still in play.
Speaker:I am open to how it transpires.
Speaker:I'm open to having weekly meetings and connecting with people and doing that,
Speaker:but it's all in the play. It's too early.
Speaker:But the main thing is that you commit to it.
Speaker:And if you're committed, how about just sign up,
Speaker:you know, show your commitment and let's get this thing going.
Speaker:I've got to end this
Speaker:episode with a awesome song,
Speaker:and I hope you enjoy it.
