WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.060
what your vision is and where you're going with

00:00:02.060 --> 00:00:06.139
it. What waves have you made from the last time

00:00:06.139 --> 00:00:08.240
me and you met? What are some of the lessons

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.779
that you learned and some struggles you faced

00:00:11.779 --> 00:00:15.439
and you grew out of? We'd love to hear that story.

00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:20.070
Yeah, definitely. Looking forward to share about

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:21.929
what's happening, what's been happening in the

00:00:21.929 --> 00:00:25.989
last few months. So since we last spoke, I've

00:00:25.989 --> 00:00:29.949
been asked to do more presentations and workshops,

00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:33.329
a lot of speaking engagements. That's what I

00:00:33.329 --> 00:00:36.570
really wanted to do because I thought it's a

00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:39.619
really good way to share my message. with the

00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:43.759
world is to go on these platforms. I've also

00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.280
been on a lot of podcast appearances as well,

00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:50.679
talking about different topics on health and

00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:56.100
wellness. And what's gone well is all these opportunities.

00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:59.619
I noticed that the more I speak, the more I'm

00:00:59.619 --> 00:01:04.799
asked to speak. That's great. And also, when

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.280
you actually vocalize yourself, you actually...

00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:11.109
helps you to internalize about, you know, your

00:01:11.109 --> 00:01:15.790
thoughts and your processes. And, you know, I'm

00:01:15.790 --> 00:01:18.109
constantly learning as well from other people

00:01:18.109 --> 00:01:22.629
because health and wellness is a revolving field.

00:01:22.930 --> 00:01:25.209
And so, you know, I'm going, I'm always going

00:01:25.209 --> 00:01:30.209
over research papers and so on. And it's kind

00:01:30.209 --> 00:01:31.950
of passive when you're just reading something,

00:01:32.069 --> 00:01:34.170
but you actually, you know, if you can actually.

00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.939
talk about it afterwards then it helps you to

00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:43.599
process the information um and um so it's been

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.060
amazing and i feel you know i'm the confidence

00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:54.000
is also definitely you know increasing And with

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.060
all the marketing I'm doing and just talking

00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.060
about different people, you know, gaining the

00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:01.799
views as well, you know, on different topics,

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.459
sharing. I mean, I actually was on a panel last

00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:10.400
week with two ladies for a women's networking

00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.560
group, and we were talking about building a health

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.439
mindset. And that's important, you know, when

00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.620
it comes to wellness goals, you know, to have

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:23.939
that in mind. um and that it went very well and

00:02:23.939 --> 00:02:26.819
then since then i've i've been contacted by some

00:02:26.819 --> 00:02:30.639
ladies about um collaboration um on wellness

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.240
programs so that's really excellent um in terms

00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.780
of what has you know what um the struggle challenges

00:02:38.780 --> 00:02:41.400
of course they're real um you know because nothing

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.719
goes smoothly you know progress is not linear

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.469
you're going to get setbacks But what I find

00:02:48.469 --> 00:02:52.569
is that now I'm more resilient because I've learned

00:02:52.569 --> 00:02:55.770
from the past. Because initially, when you first

00:02:55.770 --> 00:02:58.990
start your business and you're hopeful, everything

00:02:58.990 --> 00:03:02.310
you think is going to go well right away. And

00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:05.490
then when you get your first challenge, you're

00:03:05.490 --> 00:03:08.250
disappointed, you're frustrated. And then you

00:03:08.250 --> 00:03:11.949
start questioning yourself. Is this going to

00:03:11.949 --> 00:03:15.979
happen? You start having self -doubt. And that's

00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:21.240
not something we want. We want to have the confidence

00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.919
that we will overcome this and this is just part

00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.680
of the journey. We have to learn from it and

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.939
we will overcome it. We find ways of solving

00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:35.979
the problems and move on. So it's really empowering

00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:40.060
to feel that way. And it really is important

00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:44.740
because as entrepreneurs, It's hard to sometimes,

00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:47.319
at some days, you know, keep going. You get up

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.180
and you don't feel so confident that morning

00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:54.039
and you have to keep pushing forward. And you

00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:55.699
just have to, you know, I think it's very important,

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.199
just like health and wellness goals, you have

00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.000
to focus on the journey. You have to focus on

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.259
the progress, not perfection. You know, that

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:10.449
doesn't happen overnight. One needs to be consistent

00:04:10.449 --> 00:04:15.389
and building resilience really helps. Let me

00:04:15.389 --> 00:04:18.509
go a little bit deeper in what you shared. Thank

00:04:18.509 --> 00:04:21.029
you for being that authentic and sharing that

00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:24.990
with us. What was the timeline from what you

00:04:24.990 --> 00:04:28.389
started and now that you see things going well

00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:30.810
and things are actually working out and there's

00:04:30.810 --> 00:04:34.709
light at the end of the tunnel and you see having

00:04:34.709 --> 00:04:38.170
these great experiences? What was the timeline

00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:42.430
for you when you started until you see success?

00:04:42.889 --> 00:04:47.730
How long did that take for you? I would say about

00:04:47.730 --> 00:04:53.629
15 months. 15 months. And what got you through

00:04:53.629 --> 00:05:00.589
those 15 months? What got you through that? Just

00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:04.199
the belief that... what you want to achieve.

00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:08.319
I want to help people with their health. And

00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.879
this motivates me. Every day when I wake up,

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.699
I focus on that. And there are people out there

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:20.339
who need my help. And I know that I can give

00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:25.600
them a lot of support. And I have a lot of things

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.399
I can do to help them. So having that belief

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:33.139
and knowing that. Persistence is important and

00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:35.779
you just have to keep going. And, you know, at

00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:38.199
the beginning, even for the first six months,

00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.120
I would say, you know, you have no idea what

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.959
might work. You know, you're trying different

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.839
things. You're putting your feet in, you know,

00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.379
all kinds of things and just say, maybe this

00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:50.139
works, maybe that doesn't work. And then you

00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:53.079
start getting the momentum. You know, you start

00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.759
thinking, oh, maybe this, you know, would work

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.500
with my type of business and something else that

00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:01.579
I thought would work. that maybe it doesn't suit

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:03.839
me. It doesn't suit my personality. It's not

00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.519
what I really want to achieve. So it's really,

00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:09.240
you have to test the water for quite a while.

00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:13.540
And then, you know, you find what works and,

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.160
you know, and this way you can just pursue on,

00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.720
you know, on those things. I want to take it

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.300
a step. step further from what you just mentioned.

00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:26.399
I think there's something very powerful you shared

00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.740
here. A lot of times we are focused on the what

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:35.259
and how before we know the who and the why. And

00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:38.060
I say the who and the why, a lot of people are

00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:41.100
familiar with the Simon Sinek's very famous quote,

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.860
I focus on the why and then the what and the

00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:47.759
how. And I want to add to that. I think he almost

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.839
had that right from the knowledge I've gained

00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.310
with the people. around me and the great leaders

00:06:54.310 --> 00:06:57.189
I've met, I think the who comes before the why.

00:06:57.310 --> 00:07:00.790
Because I would not have known about Simon Sinek's

00:07:00.790 --> 00:07:02.949
book had I not known about Simon Sinek at all.

00:07:03.129 --> 00:07:06.949
So focusing on the who that you're trying to

00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:10.670
help achieve and then the why, why you're trying

00:07:10.670 --> 00:07:13.769
to do it. And then the what and how will eventually

00:07:13.769 --> 00:07:18.569
come and be easier. And all those months, Tess,

00:07:18.629 --> 00:07:23.250
when the 15 months were... you you did not know

00:07:23.250 --> 00:07:25.949
where the light is and what side is the light

00:07:25.949 --> 00:07:29.709
is like i think your your your why got you through

00:07:29.709 --> 00:07:32.610
that and if you if you put the who on that why

00:07:32.610 --> 00:07:37.269
like hey that person who who's trying to um fight

00:07:37.269 --> 00:07:40.930
cancer maybe or trying to lose 15 pounds or maybe

00:07:40.930 --> 00:07:45.649
trying to um fight fight diabetes i don't know

00:07:45.649 --> 00:07:48.569
what what it is for you like that's my goal like

00:07:48.569 --> 00:07:51.500
that that is and Having them better health, that's

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:54.300
my why. And the how and the what will come as

00:07:54.300 --> 00:07:57.480
I focus on the who and the why. So I think that's

00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.899
very powerful what you shared. Thank you for

00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:02.779
doing that. Oh, my pleasure. Yes, absolutely.

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:06.379
You know, I feel, you know, there are days when

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.579
I just want to say, oh, you know, maybe I just

00:08:08.579 --> 00:08:11.579
go and get the job being a coach for another

00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:14.339
company. And then you feel, no, but there are

00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:16.420
all these individuals out there who need my help.

00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:19.639
They need customized approach. um and the only

00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.000
way i can do it is by offering them one -on -one

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.339
coaching um and so that you know helped me to

00:08:26.339 --> 00:08:31.259
um overcome the doubts and you know and just

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:34.460
to put my work in um it's hard you know it's

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:36.620
hard it's not easy i understand you know that

00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:40.379
all these challenges and you feel um you know

00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:43.559
and you know we we want you know we have bills

00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.320
to pay you know and so you know we feel that

00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.340
you know Maybe that's another way to help me

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:54.820
to deal with it. But then you ask yourself that

00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:58.360
question. If I change something I do, if I go

00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.919
into a different direction, am I helping these

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.879
people I really want to help? Yes, and that is

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.240
so powerful, right? Isn't it? How focusing on

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.649
that and not having to worry about... second

00:09:14.649 --> 00:09:16.769
guessing yourself of what you're doing is is

00:09:16.769 --> 00:09:19.629
it the right way am i even is it even going to

00:09:19.629 --> 00:09:23.049
be worth it at the end so that's that's i think

00:09:23.049 --> 00:09:26.289
clarity gives a lot of a lot of direction most

00:09:26.289 --> 00:09:29.470
people don't even have that and and you can see

00:09:29.470 --> 00:09:32.269
it in the data and stats too um i don't know

00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:34.690
if you have if you're familiar with michael gerber's

00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:37.929
book the e -myth it's a very famous book right

00:09:37.929 --> 00:09:41.149
um and he talks about a very staggering stat

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.360
It says 96 % of businesses in the United States

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.580
fail within the first 10 years. That's a pretty

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:50.639
big number. Most people are not making past the

00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.720
first 10 years. How many are making past the

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.039
first five? How many are making past the first

00:09:55.039 --> 00:10:00.000
two? That's a very staggering number, which explains

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.700
because people are so lost in the entrepreneurial

00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:05.720
world and they lose hope. So thank you for sharing

00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.659
that with us today, Tess. I want to shift gears

00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:12.059
a little bit. We can talk about... or we can

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:18.940
talk about your coaching and entrepreneurship

00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:20.500
at the same time. I don't know which way you

00:10:20.500 --> 00:10:23.159
want to take it. But what tips would you have

00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:27.279
for leaders? You can focus on either or direction.

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:30.080
I don't know what you're more passionate about,

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.820
but I'll hear either or. So I can talk about

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:38.549
wellness. you know because leaders need to yeah

00:10:38.549 --> 00:10:41.210
need to uh to stay on track you know with the

00:10:41.210 --> 00:10:43.610
health and wellness it's important because it's

00:10:43.610 --> 00:10:46.710
easy as when you're running a business when when

00:10:46.710 --> 00:10:49.549
your schedule is overwhelming it's easy to do

00:10:49.549 --> 00:10:56.120
um to get burned out and Very often, you don't

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.460
get the symptoms. You have no idea it's coming.

00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:01.080
And then before you know it, it hits you. And

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.539
it's very difficult then to reverse it. So the

00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:09.159
way to look at it is that you have to make time

00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:15.879
to set time out to recover. And this way, it's

00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.580
a bit like maintaining your car. You have to

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:23.490
do that. Otherwise, you just... it would just

00:11:23.490 --> 00:11:25.970
break down so this is a body you need to maintain

00:11:25.970 --> 00:11:28.850
it so that you will be able to do the things

00:11:28.850 --> 00:11:32.389
that are important to you you know such as running

00:11:32.389 --> 00:11:35.649
your business because without health it's you

00:11:35.649 --> 00:11:38.529
know we cannot get up in the morning we won't

00:11:38.529 --> 00:11:42.090
have the energy we feel tired we're stressed

00:11:42.090 --> 00:11:46.169
and when you run the you know when When you are

00:11:46.169 --> 00:11:50.350
leaders, it's easy to get stressed out because

00:11:50.350 --> 00:11:53.049
there's so much going on. You have to manage

00:11:53.049 --> 00:11:59.029
it. So you have to manage your health by making

00:11:59.029 --> 00:12:02.909
sure that you get enough sleep, you have nutrition

00:12:02.909 --> 00:12:07.909
-balanced meals, you exercise, manage your stress.

00:12:08.409 --> 00:12:10.789
uh and of course social connection is important

00:12:10.789 --> 00:12:15.049
too you can't just work 24 hours a day and you

00:12:15.049 --> 00:12:18.210
know and not interact with other people and you

00:12:18.210 --> 00:12:22.909
need to also put time aside for your social you

00:12:22.909 --> 00:12:25.610
know relationships and those things are all very

00:12:25.610 --> 00:12:31.309
important um and um like you know your meetings

00:12:31.309 --> 00:12:34.710
you have to schedule you know this um wellness

00:12:34.710 --> 00:12:38.070
um practice this in you know so once you schedule

00:12:38.070 --> 00:12:40.970
them they are in your diary and you would do

00:12:40.970 --> 00:12:45.029
it otherwise things just you know get forgotten

00:12:45.029 --> 00:12:47.210
you just think i have this meeting i have to

00:12:47.210 --> 00:12:50.730
get on the plane and then yeah uh and then you

00:12:50.730 --> 00:12:52.809
think oh i'm not getting enough sleep that can

00:12:52.809 --> 00:12:55.070
wait but you can't because your body doesn't

00:12:55.070 --> 00:12:57.950
wait your organs are still there they need to

00:12:57.950 --> 00:13:01.710
they need tlc all the time um you know to be

00:13:01.710 --> 00:13:04.820
looked after and you know and when When you are

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:08.500
busy, you're running a business, you know, there's

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.440
a lot to deal with, you know, especially your

00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.059
brain. There's a lot to deal with from the moment

00:13:13.059 --> 00:13:16.179
you wake up to the moment you go to sleep. So

00:13:16.179 --> 00:13:21.059
you need to have those short little breaks throughout

00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:23.879
the day to give yourself a rest, give your brain.

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.659
break a break for example just go for a quick

00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:31.100
walk away from the screen as well you know so

00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:33.200
you know because it's not good for your eyes

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.419
to be staring at the screen all day and you need

00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:39.399
to stay hydrated so the easy way would be to

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.799
set an alarm on your phone just to remind you

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.419
you know go for a quick walk you know when you

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:50.360
have lunch or or in between your meetings this

00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.830
way you also then stay focused and you are recharged

00:13:53.830 --> 00:13:57.370
thank you for sharing i think that's a very powerful

00:13:57.370 --> 00:14:00.389
tips um i'm going to take it another step further

00:14:00.389 --> 00:14:05.710
i like i like adding value to it um i think sharing

00:14:05.710 --> 00:14:09.210
practical advice is very very important but i

00:14:09.210 --> 00:14:11.529
want to hear your schedule i think if you can

00:14:11.529 --> 00:14:14.049
share your schedule like how you manage all that

00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.960
in one day and get done and do the coaching and

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.639
do the business and come on the podcast with

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.159
me. I think that'd be amazing to hear. Like,

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.379
how do you go through your day? Like, what does

00:14:24.379 --> 00:14:28.299
your typical day look like, Tess? Yes, well,

00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:31.220
I'm an early riser because I like the morning.

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:35.059
I live in Miami, so the weather's good. And I

00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:37.120
also believe in sunlight exposure first thing

00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.559
in the morning. So I would get up at about six.

00:14:42.250 --> 00:14:44.549
and then i would go on the balcony to do my deep

00:14:44.549 --> 00:14:47.929
breathing exercise which i find very calming

00:14:47.929 --> 00:14:51.129
and at the same time i get some daylight exposure

00:14:51.129 --> 00:14:56.230
to set my circadian rhythm and then after that

00:14:56.230 --> 00:14:59.490
you know i would get ready and but i practice

00:14:59.490 --> 00:15:03.129
i'm kind of intermittent fasting so i try not

00:15:03.129 --> 00:15:06.190
to have breakfast too early but i'm the type

00:15:06.190 --> 00:15:09.370
also that doesn't feel like eating right away

00:15:09.370 --> 00:15:13.490
after i get up um i need about two hours so i

00:15:13.490 --> 00:15:17.149
will prepare my breakfast and but i won't have

00:15:17.149 --> 00:15:20.470
that first i very often three or four times a

00:15:20.470 --> 00:15:24.330
week i go to the gym in the morning um before

00:15:24.330 --> 00:15:27.070
i actually get on with my day to you know have

00:15:27.070 --> 00:15:30.429
a workout then i feel energized after that and

00:15:30.429 --> 00:15:34.210
after the workout i have breakfast um and and

00:15:34.210 --> 00:15:36.389
then i will sit in front of the computer and

00:15:36.389 --> 00:15:40.980
do my calls um you know whether it's coaching

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:45.779
or if I schedule a podcast appearance, you know,

00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:51.039
I do those. And then when it comes to lunchtime,

00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.580
I will prepare myself a lunch. I do eat quite

00:15:55.580 --> 00:15:58.659
regularly. But, you know, the beauty of running

00:15:58.659 --> 00:16:00.779
your business from home is that I have access

00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:05.779
to my kitchen. So it's easy. And, you know, so

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:09.559
I have my meals at lunchtime and then I will

00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.980
have an early dinner. And in between the lunch

00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:14.799
and dinner, then I've got, you know, work to

00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:20.019
do as well. But then I always remind myself to

00:16:20.019 --> 00:16:22.679
go out for a walk. so that I'm not sitting down

00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.379
all the time, or even just walk around my apartment.

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:29.159
That's quite important. And stay hydrated. And

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:31.940
when you stay hydrated, you have to make your

00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:34.980
bathroom stops. That's just natural. And people

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:37.840
can do that in the office as well. So you have

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.379
to get out of your chair and give yourself a

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:48.320
break. And so I do those things. And on the mornings

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.250
when I don't work out, Then I might start my

00:16:51.250 --> 00:16:56.110
work earlier. I might have a meeting with one

00:16:56.110 --> 00:16:58.850
of the people who helped me with social media

00:16:58.850 --> 00:17:04.950
and so on. Maybe have some Zoom calls. So that's

00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:10.750
how my days are. But then after dinner, I try

00:17:10.750 --> 00:17:16.509
to have dinner very early. So if I can, if I'm

00:17:16.509 --> 00:17:19.349
home, I would probably... have dinner by six

00:17:19.349 --> 00:17:22.769
o 'clock. But that's because I believe that there

00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:25.410
should be a three -hour window between dinner

00:17:25.410 --> 00:17:31.309
and bedtime. And, you know, I might go do some

00:17:31.309 --> 00:17:35.930
research on some health topics and read some

00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:40.170
books, again, on the relevant topic that I've

00:17:40.170 --> 00:17:45.140
been studying. and maybe make some phone calls

00:17:45.140 --> 00:17:48.619
with some friends just to catch up with some

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:52.339
family members they live abroad so with the time

00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:55.440
difference it's usually in the evening And then

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.039
I will start winding down for sleep, which is

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.940
important. We have to prepare ourselves for sleep.

00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.400
It doesn't just happen, just like, you know,

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.960
in the morning. So I start winding down, you

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.619
know, and have a hot shower, listen to some music,

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:18.259
try to do things that won't stimulate, you know,

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.660
my brain too much. And then I like reading before

00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:25.640
I go to bed as well. So I do that quite a bit.

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.660
I will do that for about half an hour before

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:33.180
I go to sleep. And yeah, that's how I conduct

00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:39.680
my days. One last question, right? How long did

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.579
it take you to get to the schedule? How long?

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.559
You mean how? How long did it take you? How many

00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.730
tries? um like how many months or how many years

00:18:51.730 --> 00:18:55.269
worth of um trial and undertake you to get to

00:18:55.269 --> 00:19:00.390
the schedule i would say on and off because i

00:19:00.390 --> 00:19:03.089
don't you know i think suddenly often i do all

00:19:03.089 --> 00:19:05.930
these things in one day so you build on them

00:19:05.930 --> 00:19:09.190
just like habits so maybe initially i do the

00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:12.529
morning thing and then maybe i add the deep breathing

00:19:12.529 --> 00:19:15.490
exercise to it as well and then do the gym and

00:19:15.490 --> 00:19:18.299
then see how it goes And then the lunch thing

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:21.319
and then the evening routine as well. So these

00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:24.579
things, they all come together now, but it's

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:28.420
really over time. It's like putting them in different

00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:30.839
segments. And that's what I tell people as well.

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.039
You know, don't do all these things in one go.

00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:36.599
You just be so overwhelmed and then you would

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.859
give up and you just say, I'm no good. You know,

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:42.880
I can't do all these things. And no, try one

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.579
thing at a time. and build on it thank you for

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:47.559
