00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:11.119
Hello and welcome to Q and A Friday on this lovely, sunny,

2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:22.760
warm Friday, the twentieth of Dewane, two thousand and twenty five. Hello,

3
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:30.079
or please only listen when you can safely close your

4
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.240
eyes and this is let me bore you to sleep

5
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:34.560
or lmb y.

6
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:41.359
Yes, Oh so.

7
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.759
I just want to say a big welcome to the

8
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:57.280
Jason Newlands boying Group two two Kerry and Julie. Ironically

9
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:02.079
there's two Julie's exactly the same name, different joined at

10
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:12.000
different times. But just yeah, well I got so. Mike

11
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.319
posted a comment. He asked me, you mentioned recently that

12
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.000
the heat was getting to you. How hot has it

13
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:24.319
been there recently? It's pretty pretty hot. It's I really

14
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.439
felt it just now because I've just been out with

15
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:32.200
Vinnie and what is it. It's three thirty five. So

16
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.439
I got home about a half hour ago, maybe a

17
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:41.920
little bit longer. I didn't feel particularly hot out warm,

18
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:43.879
but I didn't, you know. But then I sat down,

19
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:48.920
I was like, but I think that's because I have

20
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.840
more clothes on now than I had when I went out.

21
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:58.560
Let me explain. I actually wore shorts. I know, I know,

22
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.120
I did wash shorts, not something that I normally do

23
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:14.400
pretty much ever, but I did a war shorts and

24
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:20.159
it's so much nicer than these blue tracksuit bottoms that've

25
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:26.159
got holes in them. It's yeah, I have to have

26
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:33.199
to make a change to the older tracksuit bottoms, but

27
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:37.680
that will come entire my mama, Mama. Next week, I'm

28
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.840
going to buy some new ones, a new pair. And yeah,

29
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:51.599
so what's happened near I had a shower. I didn't

30
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.919
have a shave because I am charging my razor up,

31
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.199
so I didn't have a shave or trim. I've been

32
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.960
trying to keep everything and when I say everything, I'm

33
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.039
talking about my face and trying to keep my beard

34
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.199
the same length as my hair on my head kind

35
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.719
of all kind of the same, very short but the

36
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.919
same length. But I've let it go probably over a

37
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.360
week now. So I was trimming it every at least

38
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.800
twice a week, but I've let it grow a little bit.

39
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:33.759
So I'm gonna when my rais is charged, I'm gonna

40
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.240
have a little go have a little play with it

41
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:43.000
and see if i can get it sorted out. So, yeah,

42
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:55.719
it's been hot all over the place. Apparently the heat

43
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.840
does bring out the yawns in me. It really does.

44
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.400
Apparently yawning is very therapeutic from a psychological perspective. It does.

45
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:14.280
It produces certain I'm gonna say, hemorrhoids then not hemorrhoids.

46
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:22.759
I don't know, hormonies or whatever that make you feel relaxed. Hemorrhoids.

47
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:28.720
I got hemorrhoids on the brain. I haven't blame me,

48
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:36.759
just let you understand where my brain's kept. So no, no,

49
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:47.240
just been watching the the Parliament channel. Well, actually have

50
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.319
been watching the main news. Are big things just happened?

51
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.560
A big new laws has come through in the UK,

52
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.079
which some people will be happy about. Some people, I

53
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.360
guess it won't be. There's always you know, there's going

54
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:11.680
to be different people believing different things. But I'm not

55
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.120
going to go into it. But I wish I had

56
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:18.079
been around for my friend back in the late nineties.

57
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:28.600
But they there is a bit of background sound, but

58
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.879
background music down stairs, so I don't know if you

59
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.680
can hear it a lot. Nothing I can do about it.

60
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.920
And I can sit here and not make a recording,

61
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:49.879
or I can sit here and make a recording. I'd

62
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.639
rather sit here and make a recording because otherwise I'm

63
00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:00.120
sitting here just listening to that music, and it's loud.

64
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.839
To me, It's not that loud, really, but it's if

65
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.360
I had a TV and I could probably cover it up.

66
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.639
But I'm not really not really in a mood to

67
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:21.480
watch TV really, oh kind of. I'm dedicated to see

68
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.519
I'm dedicated to making the Q and A Fridays every Friday,

69
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.279
which I've been doing for over a year now, BlimE me,

70
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:41.920
over a year, you believe it, over a year. I'm

71
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.600
just gonna have a look. How many let Me Boy

72
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:52.199
the sleeps have I done? Last one I did was

73
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:06.759
last let Me Boy I did. It was yesterday, number

74
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:14.399
one thousand, three hundred and seventy nine. That's quite a

75
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:22.319
lot in it, quite a lot. I actually have all

76
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:28.439
already done. Two recordings today. One was a sleep Deep

77
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:35.800
Sleep Whisper one and another one with a relaxation hypnosis

78
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.000
for stress number two hundred and forty three, The Deep

79
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:46.279
Sleep Whisper Hypnosis five hundred and thirty eight. There's a

80
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.120
lot of recordings. I'm not sure if my mouth is

81
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.279
too far away from the microphone, but I hope it's

82
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.839
all right. I kind of think it gets it's a

83
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.800
little bit a little bit more of an echo, not

84
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.160
an echo, but a bit more. My voice is a

85
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.800
bit more high pitched when it's the microphone's. I mean,

86
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.800
I'm not the other side of the room from the microphone.

87
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.120
Should I just show you what it sounds like if

88
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:25.279
I'm move a bit closer. That was too close? I

89
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.240
think that's about that's right. I kin moved it a bit.

90
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.919
Could you understand what I said? I said I want

91
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:45.200
some pizza? Right, I'm trying to think. I can't think

92
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:49.519
of any other things to really update you on, really,

93
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.200
so I just suppose I just get on all the questions. Oh,

94
00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:02.919
oh my goodness. So I've got four questions. So it's

95
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.799
not many, but it's more than last week. Oops, just

96
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:12.320
banged the microphone. Sorry. So I've got questions from Hope,

97
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:25.440
Tammy Ing and Allie. So what's the first question? What

98
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.679
did I do yesterday? I'm sure I did something that

99
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:33.519
i've or did something today. I don't know if you

100
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.759
can hear all the scream in the garden. It's summer,

101
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.720
the windows are open, people are out enjoying the summer.

102
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:47.720
I can't. I'm not going to complain about it. I'm

103
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.960
not really I mean I can't really can I insist

104
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.799
like people can have fun and stuff just because I'm.

105
00:09:53.679 --> 00:10:00.440
A I'm a miserable old man, miserable old get sitting

106
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.639
in my flat making podcasts instead of running around on

107
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:06.799
the grass screaming.

108
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.360
You know, it's each to their own, isn't it. So

109
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.799
Hope says, what is your favorite animal? What asks? What

110
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:32.919
is your favorite animal? And why? I would probably so

111
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:40.879
I'd break that up into three categories, because there's my

112
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.600
favorite animals. See, I know birds are animals, but I

113
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:52.399
kind of I like birds. I just really like birds,

114
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.879
even small birds all the way up to you know,

115
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.960
golden eagles and falcons and especially birds of prey. I

116
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.440
love watching them flying around. We have falcons, and we

117
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.480
have buzzards and stuff we don't have. As far as

118
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.159
I know, there's no golden eagles in this country. But

119
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.240
there's no there are no barriers to stop birds from

120
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.519
all over the world coming here. You know, there's no

121
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:25.000
there's no borders, there's you know, they can just fly

122
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.240
where they want, can't they. So if if a golden

123
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.840
eager wanted to, for whatever reason, come and fly and

124
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.960
spend time in my town, then it could. If it

125
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:42.559
wanted to, but we don't get flamingos. I think some

126
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.159
birds is a limit to how far they're willing to

127
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.679
fly or can fly. But at the same time, I

128
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:55.159
don't know if that's true. I made it up because

129
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.480
flamingos might actually fly for thousands and thousands of miles,

130
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:07.559
maybe twenty thousand miles. And and there's flamingos in America

131
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.879
and America, what is it eight thousand miles away from here?

132
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.000
It's not that far away. Maybe it's is it eight

133
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:23.840
thousand maybe less four thousand, five thousand miles away? So

134
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:28.399
maybe flamingos can come here choose not to because it's

135
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:35.080
not really their scene. They get seagulls everywhere all over

136
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.919
the world, don't you, So they clearly they don't need that.

137
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.720
They've clearly traveled around, but they don't need to. I

138
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.159
sometimes think maybe they just travel. They just like all.

139
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.960
It's because they can hitch lifts, can't They on boats

140
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:55.120
and stuff. So a seagull doesn't even have to fly

141
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.840
across the ocean. It can just sit on one of

142
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.679
the sails. Because we all still use sales on ships,

143
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:07.600
don't we like the eighteen hundreds. I don't know what

144
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.799
I'm talking about, like the pirate days? Why is it

145
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.799
the pirates? Pirates they're just not as not as cuddly

146
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.879
as they used to be, are they remember the pirates

147
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.360
of the old days have been like Kirk Douglas and

148
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.480
maybe have a patch and her eye, but they'd be

149
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.320
they might have a hook on their hand, but they'd

150
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.759
be kind of they'd be gritty, they'd be tough, but

151
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.559
they'd still be quite gentle at times, you could. I

152
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.720
don't know. I just i'd look at Captain Hooks sometimes,

153
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.519
you know in peter Pan or never Land or whatever

154
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:47.559
you want to call it, and I just look and

155
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.480
I thought, yeah, he's a tough man. He's clearly he's

156
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.559
had a difficult life and scavenging, and you know he's

157
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.919
had to keep all of the people in his crew

158
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.759
in touch and make sure that everyone does what they're

159
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.039
supposed to do, and running the ship's not easy. So

160
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:11.600
he comes across as a very tough man. But underneath

161
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.279
that big beard and the hat and the eye patch

162
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.679
and the old parrot on his shoulder and the hook

163
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.360
for a hand, I could kind of get a sense

164
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.240
that it is a considerate lover.

165
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:28.519
You know.

166
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.919
I just kind of got that it was a gentle

167
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:39.480
gentle It's like you'd think, well, what could he do

168
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:42.480
if he wasn't a pirate? And I would say, possibly

169
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:47.000
be a care But someone laughs, say no, Captain Cook,

170
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:51.240
that can be a cara. But I just I got

171
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.639
that sense when I looked at him. I thought this

172
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:59.200
and compassion there because people who have been through a

173
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.000
lot know what it's like, so they kind of they

174
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.559
they know that. I think it's that part that wants

175
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:12.919
to help others. That's what I got from Captain Captain Cook. Now,

176
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.639
the modern day pirates don't don't seem to be his

177
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:22.039
cud leaps, not as not as lovable as the old ones.

178
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:28.720
I don't know why. What's your favorite animal?

179
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:29.360
And why.

180
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.919
Talking about pirates? I don't get it. You're vinced, my

181
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:42.120
vinced gimmy cuddles, that's it, That's all right. I guess

182
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.279
good boy, good boy. He just just lay there and

183
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.919
good boy. I think he's a little bit flustered with

184
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:55.159
his heat. He's got water. It's not like he knows

185
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:56.120
I'm talking about him.

186
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.240
Don't you know that, don't you?

187
00:15:59.679 --> 00:15:59.919
Hmm?

188
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.080
The things I bought these t r E E E

189
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:11.240
E E t s earlier. Yes, the day. Yeah, and

190
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.120
he's eating the lord of them already, and they're like

191
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:17.240
nearly four pound. I mean, he could get through a

192
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.080
pack of Day. It's ridiculous he can't because I'm not

193
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.879
I'm not buying a pack of Day. But it just

194
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.480
seems a shame that is, because they're like these chicken

195
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:35.279
stick things that he loves them, really loves them. But

196
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:43.759
he gets throden so quickly, so so so quickly. And

197
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.519
I want to say a big high to Ben as

198
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.320
well again and I always mentioned this, but I just

199
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.200
want to say thank you to Ben for the other day,

200
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:59.159
for your kind words. And there was another post here

201
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.399
Where is it? There was another post that I've not

202
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.880
read down. I don't know where it is.

203
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:10.240
Let me have a look, let me have a look,

204
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:19.240
and maybe it's oh, maybe it's there, Zorry.

205
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:32.519
I'm not sorry. Uh nope, do you ever? Oh what

206
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.680
I'm I'm pretty sure that was weird. I just I

207
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.319
got feedback in my own ear. Then I kind of

208
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.559
got like fuzzy feed back in my left ear. How weird?

209
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:51.920
Uh?

210
00:17:54.119 --> 00:18:05.640
Where is it? I had a lovely comment Hope says lol,

211
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:09.200
loved the pick. Thank you? That was for yesterday's a

212
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.039
busy day. That was a good pick. There's a picture

213
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.640
of me and Vinnie. Vinnie's got a hat on the sunglasses.

214
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.519
I've got sunglasses and for some reason I've got less

215
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:27.839
hair than I actually have at the front. I don't

216
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:35.640
know what's going on there. And Oh can't find it.

217
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.400
There was a comment, and there was a lovely comment, and

218
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.680
I can't find it. This is one of the problems

219
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.960
that I have. Oh Hope wrote I love it when

220
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.519
you yawn. I get sympathetic yawns and it helps me

221
00:18:52.599 --> 00:19:00.519
feel sleepy. Thank you. There was a particular maybe it

222
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.920
was a message. I'm sure it was a comment though,

223
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.160
and it wouldn't been probably on any other of the

224
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:16.920
h I think, Ah, that's gonna that's gonna wind me

225
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.960
up now, not being able to find that. If you

226
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:24.359
posted a comment on my Facebook page and I haven't responded,

227
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:30.880
I apologize because I think because basically, I've been posting

228
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:34.880
so much stuff lately. I've been making a lot of

229
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:50.519
recordings the last hm hmmm, a few days. But I yeah,

230
00:19:50.680 --> 00:20:06.960
I basically I can't find it. It was about Spotify.

231
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:18.640
I can't it was about Spotify. I can't find it anyway,

232
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:27.720
I do apologize because there were Natasha. Oh Natasha, it

233
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:32.079
was Natasha's message. Hi Natasha, so sorry, I've only just

234
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.640
seen this. I'll be listening on Spotify and Jason, you

235
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.440
have been a godsend. You helped me massively with my sleep.

236
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:46.559
Thank you, Natasha. It's very kind of you. Oh that

237
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.759
was welcoming Natasha to the group. That was like from

238
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:55.440
the fifteenth of June. So that's all right, Natasha. Is

239
00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:00.839
The thing is, because I got tendency of keep post stuff,

240
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:16.079
I lose track of my own recordings. I generally do

241
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:24.759
do do do do do do ooh ooh ooh ooh, whoops,

242
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.079
all right, let me go back, let me go back,

243
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:33.000
let me go back. So I just just lost my place.

244
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.000
Right coming back, I am. I'm going to do the

245
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:47.880
Do you have any questions? Here we go? Questions? What

246
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.200
is your favorite animal and why? If you'd have asked

247
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.799
me that three years ago, I would have said my

248
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:03.319
instant answer would have been a ferrit It's very hard

249
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.880
for me, having this little doggie next to me, to

250
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.759
be giving favor over, you know, to something, to a

251
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.799
different animal over him. So I feel I need to

252
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.480
say for me it's not. If I was kind of

253
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:26.480
like a particular animal, then it's Vinnie and Andre, although

254
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.559
Andre's not with me anymore, but you know Vinnie, he's

255
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:37.319
the one that, you know, my favorite animal. But actually,

256
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:39.559
I think what you're asking, hope is God, what is

257
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.559
my favorite not who is my favorite animal? What is

258
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:47.400
my favorite animal? What type of animal? I wonder if

259
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:53.519
I can send this to the television? This is exciting?

260
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.960
Can I can? I can? I can? I can? I?

261
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.759
Can I send this to the television? How do I

262
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.480
display settings? No, doesn't seem to do it. I can

263
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.720
do it on my iPad and my phone, but I

264
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:15.079
don't know if I can do it on the laptop. Right,

265
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:20.240
It's a favorite animal I've always had, well, not always,

266
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:26.480
but I really like penguins because I did a spiritual

267
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:34.400
not spiritual what is it called a dream thing? A

268
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:40.400
dream to find my dream or my spiritual animal? And

269
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.519
a penguin was it. And it was something to do

270
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.319
with the tenacity.

271
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:44.720
The.

272
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:50.079
Never giving up. Some would argue that I'm always giving up,

273
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:57.880
but actually I never give up. I just drop certain things,

274
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:03.480
but I never give up. You know, It's a weird one,

275
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:10.920
hard to explain, really, Yeah, but I don't. Yeah, I don't.

276
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.480
I mean, I've given up a lot of things, but

277
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:21.519
I never give up the most important things, which is

278
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.200
this to me. I mean, to me, this is the

279
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.240
most important thing. And I would never give up on

280
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:34.200
this little boy here, so and I hope i'd never

281
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:40.839
give up on myself either. But other things along the road.

282
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.480
You know, I used to be quite attached to my hair.

283
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:48.839
I've given up on that now. It's kind of okay,

284
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:54.599
fair enough. I'm pollically challenged now, and the fact I

285
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:57.119
keep mentioning it means that I'm not okay with it.

286
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:03.400
But there's certain things you can do. I could have

287
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.160
a My hair is not that bad that i'd need

288
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.519
a hair transplant necessarily, but I could go down that road.

289
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:12.680
I'm not going to. I would never do that. It's

290
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.680
not really, it's not me. I understand why some people do,

291
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:21.839
especially maybe some really young people. You know, someone's in

292
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.880
their twenties. They might want to go down that road.

293
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:32.039
I'm in my mid fifties. There's I don't. I don't

294
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.200
think anyone even looks at me anyway, so no one's

295
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.440
going to notice if I'm bored. I'm not bored. I

296
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.400
could walk around with I just covered my head with

297
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.240
peanut butter and walk around and no one will probably notice,

298
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:53.480
maybe because that's how a normally walk around did did did? No,

299
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.599
people don't look at me anymore so, but I'm not

300
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.960
sure if they ever did. But fifty five pretty much invisible.

301
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.759
But I learned being invisible. Being invisible does not mean

302
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.519
that you can walk through walls. Yeah, I don't know

303
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.880
why why I thought that I hurt myself.

304
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:17.680
Uh.

305
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.680
Not a big fan of seagulls. I do like birds,

306
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.279
but seagulls are the ones that I just I just

307
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:31.079
find them a little bit a little bit too much,

308
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:37.720
a little bit just a little bit like I don't

309
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:43.960
know what it is. I think they're nice on the beach,

310
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:47.680
you know, the sound of seagulls and the waves and

311
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:54.480
the sea and that's a nice sound. But you know,

312
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:56.839
I do like the sounds of the birds in the trees,

313
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.640
the tree outside here, and that's one of the best

314
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.839
things about living here really for me. Auditarily. I like

315
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:11.160
the you know, I like the sounds of the birds.

316
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:21.000
I don't ever really get bored with birds, you know,

317
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.079
they don't it don't keep me awake, It don't it

318
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:28.000
don't disturb me. I find it very relaxing. Even if

319
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:32.640
it's pigeons not so much, you know, but one of

320
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.000
my best friends as a pigeon, Horace, so I can't.

321
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:38.079
I'm not gonna be prejudiced against pigeons. But they can

322
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.400
be a little bit, I mean, a little bit demanding.

323
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.000
Sometimes they're a little bit like you ever have a

324
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.200
friend that will phone you and then just keep phoning

325
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:52.480
you until you answer. They won't take the hint. You know,

326
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:54.519
You change your number and they still find out your

327
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:57.680
number and phone you. You move to a different country

328
00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:59.359
and they still find out where you're live in. You know.

329
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:04.599
Just that's what pigeons are like. I mean, Horace has

330
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:07.880
been following me around for about thirty five years, so

331
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:16.359
he used to be in Stratford with me. Serious. He

332
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:24.599
did look a lot different back then though half the size.

333
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:32.880
So favorite animal probably ferret, you know, if we're going

334
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.160
to move Vinnie out of this Dogs are okay. I'm

335
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:40.640
not really a dog person, as good as maybe as

336
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:42.599
it sounds weird because sider I've got a dog, but

337
00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:46.680
not really. I love dog loved dogs are nice, but

338
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:50.279
I'm not like I like little dogs and I've got

339
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.640
a little dog, but I would never want a big dog.

340
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:56.119
It's just not I had a big dog when I

341
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.039
was a kid. I have one of the biggest dogs

342
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.640
you could have, a Saint Bernard when for the last

343
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.680
year and a half or whatever of being at home,

344
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:16.160
that's when I was at school, so that was yeah.

345
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.920
I just I don't know. I just everyone's got their preference.

346
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:26.440
And I like little dogs, even like two hours or

347
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:31.160
poodles stuff like that. They're the ones. And I know

348
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:33.279
some people wouldn't want to walk around the street with

349
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.119
a pink poodle, like some men wouldn't want to do that.

350
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:37.839
But I don't care.

351
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:38.240
It's like.

352
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:46.799
It, it's there's nothing. I don't I don't find masculinities

353
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:50.680
got anything to do with whether or not i'd die

354
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:55.720
my poodle pink and put bows in their ears and

355
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:01.200
we're matching outfits with her. I also wear a collar

356
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:04.920
and walk on old fours. I don't think that determines

357
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:09.680
what kind of a person I am, or maybe it does.

358
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.119
Oh dear, what am I talking about? What's my favorite animal?

359
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:23.400
M always like monkeys when I was little, loved monkeys. See,

360
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:27.000
I grew up in an age in an age back

361
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:31.119
in the day in an it used to be a

362
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:34.559
lot of monkeys about on television, so we had things

363
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:38.480
like PG tips. There was monkeys on there. There was

364
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:44.680
Clyde the Orangutang that was on. It's on a few

365
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.400
movies actually every which way but loose every which way

366
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:54.559
you can, which was Clint Eastwood loved them movies and

367
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:57.079
also he was in I think one of the cannon

368
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.680
Ball Run movies, maybe both of them, and very likely

369
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:05.200
at other things as well. I think he was always

370
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:12.119
called I think he was always called Clyde. See what

371
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.960
those cannon Ball Run films did. If anyone who doesn't

372
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.279
know what a cannon Ball Run movie is. I think

373
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.680
there was two. Both had I do believe both had

374
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:27.680
Burt Reynolds in them, and he got paid huge amounts

375
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:31.079
of money to make them. I was a big fan

376
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:36.359
of Burt Reynolds. I just think he had the charisma

377
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:43.960
he had on screen was just I don't know something

378
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:50.799
about him. It wasn't that he was kind of oscary

379
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.680
kind of material. I'm sure he could have. I don't know,

380
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.319
he might want an oscar. But it just had a

381
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:05.039
really really nice personality on screen. And my favorites were

382
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.640
the Cannonball Run movies that he did, but he also

383
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:13.799
did Oh Smoking the Bandit as well, didn't he so,

384
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:17.319
And that was basically Smoking the Band It was almost

385
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.400
the same as the Cannonball Run movies. But what the

386
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:27.799
Cannonball Run movies did is they got all the stars

387
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:32.400
of the day all together, or some of the stars

388
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:35.960
of yesterday, you know, all these Really everyone in it

389
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.119
was famous pretty much. There was a couple of newer people.

390
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:45.559
For example, Jackie Chan was in it. And I don't

391
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:48.759
think anyone really outside of the martial arts world knew

392
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:51.240
who Jackie Chan was at that time, because this was

393
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:58.079
the early eighties. He was a big star in the

394
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:04.480
Oriental world, but in you know, in America and in

395
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:08.799
the English speaking world, it was only really people that

396
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:11.920
watched Kung Kung fu movies that really wouldn't know who

397
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:19.000
he was. And then you had you had Jaws, which

398
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:24.680
Ad Kill he was in it. He had Clyde Dean

399
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:28.519
Martin I think was in it. It's like so many

400
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:34.640
famous people in those movies. I'm surprised if they've made

401
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:39.200
any money at all. Actually, the budget must have been huge,

402
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:42.000
and they were funny as well. It was just slapstick

403
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:46.240
comedy and it was just a big race, all lots

404
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:53.200
of different people in cars, just racing, and there was

405
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:56.559
was it Charlie's Angels did A couple of Charlie's Angels

406
00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:02.720
was in it as well, I think, and trying to

407
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:08.639
think who else? Yeah, there was loads. I can't think.

408
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:10.400
I don't. I was going to say, I don't have

409
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:12.199
the I do have the information in front of me.

410
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:14.039
What am I doing? I can look it up? Can

411
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.079
I what did I call it? Cannon ball, run canon

412
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:30.159
boor run cast? So cannonball, run cast, Burt Reynolds, Roger

413
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:39.000
bare Far, aforce it, dom de Lu's Okay, So I'm

414
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:41.000
just gonna read out the ones that I've heard of.

415
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:43.480
I probably do know him, but I just don't really

416
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:53.199
recognize the name. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Jackie Chan,

417
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:08.840
Peter Fonder, Bianca Jagger. Okay, I'm just skipping through. There's

418
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:11.679
quite a few that I recognize the faces, but I

419
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:19.519
don't recognize the names. Robert Tesla, he was the do

420
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:25.360
you remember Charles Bronson the street fighter? He was the

421
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:33.159
bloke that fought Charles Bronson. Okay, Right, so I'm going

422
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:39.239
to go back if I go to Cannibalal Run two. Okay,

423
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:47.280
let me go cannon Ball Run two. Cast. Let's have

424
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:55.199
a look. See who's in this one? But Reynolds again,

425
00:35:56.920 --> 00:36:02.719
Dom deLuce, Dean Martin's I'm just why is that this

426
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:04.559
is the Kennon bore N two?

427
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:06.360
Mm?

428
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.199
All about Kennon Boorn, Sid Caesar. It's very famous comedian,

429
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:25.360
Sid Caesar, Tony Danzer, Richard Keel, Jaws, Wow, Frank Sinatra,

430
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:36.679
Henry Silver, Doug McClure. I'm saying out like I know

431
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:38.760
who he is. I'm not sure. I think I do.

432
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.800
And you've got the rest of the cast. Okay, what

433
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:50.199
about Kennon Kennon borr On one? Then Kennel bor Run

434
00:36:56.280 --> 00:37:03.480
so but maybe at the same period, I said, this

435
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:08.239
is Burt Reynolds again, Roger Moore, thorough force it, Deanmine,

436
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:10.639
I's a lot of the same people then according to this.

437
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:20.440
Hmm okay, Jackie Chan, I don't know if they're just

438
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:22.840
repeating it. I'm not sure if it is the same people.

439
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:29.199
I'm sure it's different people in different ones. Hmm me me, me,

440
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:33.599
me me. But anyway, there was a lot of famous names,

441
00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:38.519
a lot of famous faces from that period. I'm surprised

442
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:44.960
that night Rider wasn't in it, and the Incredible Hulk

443
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:52.639
and Wonder Woman like Lindsay Carter and members of the

444
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:58.760
A Team. Yeah, I'm surprised about that because they would

445
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.440
have all been unless the eighteen was a little bit

446
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:05.199
later on. That might have been a little bit later.

447
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.159
But they're a great movie. It's just so funny, a

448
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:14.880
lot of fun. And Clyde was in there, and he

449
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:20.519
was in Oranger Tang, So yeah. I like monkeys, I

450
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:27.480
used to. I quite liked dolphins. I think is remember

451
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:31.760
Flipper the TV show was the Australian or American. I

452
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:35.360
think it might have been Australian. It's like they call

453
00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:43.119
him flipper Flipper do nothing see me? They called him

454
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:52.800
flipper Flipper. No no, the do do do do do

455
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.840
do do do do do do do must get hands.

456
00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:59.800
I've always do do do do do do, must get hands,

457
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:05.039
always ready ready for somebody Musco House on Well for one,

458
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:09.679
I don't hear the story it did it? Yeah, I

459
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:18.400
think I got them tunes muddled up. I think after

460
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.400
living with a ferret for six and a half years,

461
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.119
I just love ferrets. I do. I can't help it

462
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:35.480
just and yeah I do. I've never I've never met

463
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.480
a puppy or kitten. I didn't want to just hug.

464
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:46.360
They're always cute and they imagine even like a baby lion,

465
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:52.320
it's probably cute. And some would probably say, yeah, they're

466
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.079
cute when they're big. Okay, go and give it hugged

467
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:58.480
in if you think it's it's very cute and caddly.

468
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.000
God give me give a big.

469
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:04.440
No, and.

470
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:16.920
Yeah, I like I like animals generally. Yeah, I think

471
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:27.440
penguins are like penguins. Favorite animals probably going to go

472
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:29.840
with a ferret.

473
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:31.719
Overall.

474
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:40.599
But my favorite animal is of course it's Vinny. But

475
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:42.719
I don't really classroom as an animal. He's my son,

476
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.719
and Andrea was my son. I didn't classicism as a ferret.

477
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:59.000
Favorite animal. Yeah, I've never had a horse. I think

478
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:06.480
elephants are cool, but I don't know a bit demanding

479
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:11.599
hard work. You're limited to what you can do with

480
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:25.039
an elephant. You're limited to where you can go. Yeah.

481
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:35.239
I like dinosaurs. Before anyone says they don't e gift anymore,

482
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:40.880
then thought don't exist. Okay, Well, what's the crocodile? What's

483
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:47.320
the rhinosisaurus is what's an elephant? They are dinosaurs. They

484
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.119
are the dinosaurs. If a crocodile isn't a dinosaur, what

485
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:56.719
is it? Those things have been around for millions of years.

486
00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:02.119
They are dinosaurs, so they're how I don't argue on

487
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:07.280
that one is to me, it's factual, but it might

488
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.000
be wrong. I don't know. I just I feel all

489
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:19.159
animals have kind of got something. Nice deers are nice

490
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:25.119
little bambies raindeers, I mean, because obviously they helped get

491
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:29.880
presents to everyone around the world in one night.

492
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:31.840
Hmm.

493
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.599
But the thing is, yeah, that one hard night's work,

494
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:39.400
but they get to sleep the rest of the year,

495
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:49.679
don't they. Tammy asks what is a good way to

496
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:59.199
destress in conjunction with your beautiful with your beautifuls as

497
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.039
an addition and at night?

498
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:02.280
M hmm.

499
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:10.599
I'm not sure what where to go with that one.

500
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:26.880
I suppose I think, man if I think it's important

501
00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:31.239
to there's a few things you could do to improve

502
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:37.039
the potentially the experience of comfort. Make sure you've got

503
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:44.079
a comfortable bed, make sure that you're wearing something comfortable.

504
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:46.559
And I know some people don't wear clothes in bed.

505
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.400
Don't wear anything in bed, but what just make sure

506
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:55.800
that you haven't got anything constricting on. It's make sure

507
00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:01.480
you're you're nice and you know, basically, you need to

508
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:08.280
feel comfortable anyway, like physically, so you can so when

509
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:14.320
you lay down in bed, the very least I expect

510
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:21.880
is to just lie down and be supported.

511
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:24.159
But I don't.

512
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.679
I don't mean like crowd of people clapping. I mean

513
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:32.519
just feel physically supported by the bed, but enjoy that

514
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:43.039
moment where I lay down and feel that I can move.

515
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.239
So if I want to move to one side or

516
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:49.440
move over the other side, you know, I don't wear

517
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:53.559
a tight top because sometimes I don't want that constriction.

518
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:59.400
I like to be able to just move freely. So

519
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:10.480
wearing something baggy in bed I think can help. Having

520
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:17.000
a decent temperature in the room as well, because it

521
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:19.719
depends where you live in the world. At the moment,

522
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:23.320
here it's quite warm at night, a little bit warmer

523
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:29.440
than normal anyway. But I don't think there's anything to

524
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:34.199
be gained from sleeping in a really cold room in

525
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:39.800
the winter and be under your covers shivering. That's just

526
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:45.719
not very relaxing. I don't think personally. Another thing is

527
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.159
not to go to bed when you're hungry. I've noticed

528
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:53.119
that myself. I did that the other day, and I

529
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.320
went to bed and I was hungry. This is going

530
00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:58.599
to be really boring story because I've literally already told

531
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.880
you what I'm going to tell you night. I went

532
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:07.519
to bed hungry. But I noticed, and I thought, well, no,

533
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:09.880
I had something to eat a few hours ago. I

534
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:13.199
don't need to eat anything now, I'll be fine. And

535
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:18.800
I'm laying there and my stomach gurgled, and I'm thinking,

536
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:24.480
I'm hungry. I didn't want like a meal, I really didn't.

537
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:27.480
All I needed was just a couple of milethfuls of

538
00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:30.840
breakfast cereal, just to put some food in me. I

539
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:35.320
just needed to a little bit of food, not much,

540
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:38.719
you know, a slice of toast would have done it.

541
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:50.239
But to go into bed anything that causes discomfort physically,

542
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.880
I find. I know I'm kind of going any other

543
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:55.440
way because you're asking me what is a good way,

544
00:46:56.599 --> 00:47:01.639
But I'm kind of saying to avoid those things, to

545
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:11.119
prepare so you don't have physical discomfort, and maybe another

546
00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:15.400
way to help yourself relax before going to bed, before

547
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:21.199
going to sleep, maybe a bar or a shower, but

548
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:30.239
slow no Russian about and there's you know, if you

549
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.840
look online, there's a lot of articles saying that maybe

550
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:37.599
keep away from blue screens, which would be like a

551
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:44.760
laptop or a mobile phone or iPad for maybe an

552
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:48.320
hour before you go to sleep, because it stimulates part

553
00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:51.679
of your brain that maybe you don't want to be stimulated.

554
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:57.360
But I don't think that would. I mean it's going

555
00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:01.639
to affect different people different ways. I've looked at computer

556
00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:04.920
screen gone to sleep straight away, so it doesn't really

557
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:08.559
necessarily affect me in that way. I do get eyes strained,

558
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:20.719
but that's just a separate thing. Sometimes if other things

559
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.000
you could do. So if this something on your mind,

560
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:28.400
maybe it's something you need to do tomorrow, and you

561
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:32.960
lie down in bed and you're thinking, oh, I've got

562
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:37.440
to do that thing, and you start thinking, oh, am

563
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:41.599
I going to remember it, then it's worth just getting

564
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:47.000
up and writing it down. Maybe have a little ped

565
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:53.079
and pen, pen and pad or pencil and pad or

566
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:58.239
something you could just write it down. Just remember to

567
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.079
have a sex to me or whatever it was that

568
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:04.280
you were trying to remember, and just stick that on

569
00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:06.719
a piece of paper so that when you wake up

570
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:08.280
in the morning you can look at it and think,

571
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:12.920
oh great, and then you haven't got to think about

572
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:27.079
it other things. I suppose if there's something really really

573
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:31.320
really really really important that you need to do, and

574
00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:36.320
you kind of know or you feel that if you

575
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:42.760
don't get that accomplished, you're going to struggle. You might

576
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:47.360
struggle to just fall asleep easily because you'll be concerned

577
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:49.559
because you don't have to do it tomorrow and stuff.

578
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:53.559
So maybe think ahead of time and get that done.

579
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:57.480
Perhaps it's a phone call that you need to make

580
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:00.800
before six pm, and you can't do it after six

581
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:03.760
you know, maybe it's a bill or something. You know,

582
00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:10.400
maybe sort of prioritize that thing, so that's one less

583
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:19.800
item to be concerned about. Ultimately, I would say that

584
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:24.679
I was talking to someone. I was talking to dog

585
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:32.760
Walker the other day about what I try and try

586
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:36.039
and get across in these podcasts. I don't know if

587
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:41.360
I'm successful at all in doing it. And I try

588
00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:47.159
and get across the idea of getting yourself in that

589
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.519
state of mind where you don't care about anything, and

590
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:56.159
I understand, I really do understand that that's a state

591
00:50:56.239 --> 00:51:00.199
that some people, just some people will refuse to get into.

592
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:03.800
Some people just because it is like nope, because but

593
00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:10.000
I do care, Like it's not about not caring. It's

594
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:17.119
about not caring for the period of time that you're relaxing.

595
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:23.840
And you know, there's arguments. I can kind of see

596
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:27.000
different sides of it, like are easier said than done,

597
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:32.559
and but that's kind of the goal. The goal, if

598
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:41.960
you can, is to lie down. When your head touches

599
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:49.599
the pillow, your body starts to relax. You notice how

600
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:54.239
comfortable it feels to just I mean, you might have

601
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:58.119
literally just taken your clothes off. You might take your

602
00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:00.159
socks off, and you've had your socks on all day,

603
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:03.519
and it's it's nice to let the When the air

604
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:06.960
touches the skin of your feet, it could feel quite nice,

605
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:14.440
quite pleasant actually, and my socks love. Usually it's the

606
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:16.400
socks that are happy when they get off my feet.

607
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:20.800
They're like relieved to be away from my smelly feet.

608
00:52:20.840 --> 00:52:30.599
But when you lie down, for me, also, the idea

609
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:36.079
is when you lie down at nighttime or whenever you

610
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:40.559
go to sleep, whatever time is, to not think about sleeping,

611
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.840
to not be concerned about whether or not you go

612
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:49.280
to sleep, or how quickly you go to sleep, or

613
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:52.480
anything like that when how long, how much sleep did

614
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:55.360
you get yesterday, and how much sleep did you do

615
00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:03.239
you need tomorrow? And it's about noticing how relaxed you are.

616
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:10.079
It's almost like a separate thing. Like you can enjoy

617
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:13.679
watching television, you can enjoy eating your breakfast, you can

618
00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:17.679
enjoy different parts of the day when you can enjoy

619
00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:20.480
maybe even look forward to doing.

620
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:21.880
So.

621
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:25.400
I look forward to having my breakfast, Like even now

622
00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:32.679
it's only half past four, and I think about tomorrow

623
00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:35.639
morning at four o'clock or five o'clock, whatever time I

624
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:40.360
wake up, sitting here having my ready break cup of tea,

625
00:53:41.400 --> 00:53:44.920
watching the TV or whatever's on, you know, maybe watching

626
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:50.440
YouTube or watching a TV show, And I like that.

627
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:55.159
I look forward to it. It's a nice moment. Yeah, it

628
00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:58.679
last about an hour, hour and a half. Maybe it's

629
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:01.679
my little time finished normally still in bed. It's my

630
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:04.960
little time on my own where I can just I

631
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:07.599
got the TV down really low so no one else,

632
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:16.119
hopefully Vinnie can't hear it. We probably can. But and

633
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:19.679
that period of time, it's nice. It's something I look

634
00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:28.199
forward to. It's very relaxing, and I don't feel pressured

635
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:33.039
to do anything. No, I don't have to talk to anyone,

636
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:35.320
and I don't have to do anything. I don't have

637
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:39.159
to watch television. You know, I don't have to eat

638
00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:43.559
the breakfast. I choose to eat the breakfast. So everything's

639
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:47.880
just a choice. But it's very relaxing and I quite

640
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:50.119
look forward to it. I mean, I'm not like thinking,

641
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.559
I'm not on the edge of my seat thinking, oh,

642
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:54.519
I wish I could get this recording done and go

643
00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:56.679
to bed early so I can wake up. It's not

644
00:54:56.760 --> 00:55:00.599
like it's Christmas morning every morning, not quite that ridiculous.

645
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:05.719
But you know, I'm not jumping out jumping out of

646
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:16.800
bed like American guy. American American guy is an American dad.

647
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.639
You know, he jumps out a low good morning. You know,

648
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:29.480
no cartwheels, no sparkles. I just get out of bed.

649
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:33.559
So that's like a separate thing. And to me, going

650
00:55:33.599 --> 00:55:39.199
to bed is almost and also a separate thing. I

651
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:41.960
lie down on the bed, put, you know, let my

652
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:47.480
head rest on a pillow. Initially I lie on my back.

653
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:50.559
I don't go to sleep on my back because I

654
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.840
have to sleep on my side, but I lie on

655
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:56.800
my back to start with. And just notice how relaxed

656
00:55:56.840 --> 00:56:00.800
my body feels, especially in my back, my lower back.

657
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:10.239
I just notice how my legs relax, my buttocks, my shoulders,

658
00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:21.000
my neck as my head's resting on a pillow. And

659
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:27.280
I'm not concerned about falling asleep. I couldn't care at

660
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:35.360
all about falling asleep, because even though technically that's why

661
00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:39.000
I've gone to bed, for me, I've gone to bed

662
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:47.199
to relax. I guess it's a different mindset. I've not

663
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:55.079
gone to bed expecting anything other than to relax. I'm

664
00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:57.800
not I expect to fall asleep because I do every

665
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:01.880
single every much every night of my life, I guess,

666
00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:08.000
apart from when I slept during the day. But it's

667
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:14.039
not something I am concerned with. It's not something I

668
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:18.239
care about. And that brings you back to the whole

669
00:57:18.280 --> 00:57:23.360
idea of not caring. Is this is way too more city,

670
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:25.400
this is weird, this is too serious for my Q

671
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:29.199
and a Friday and I start talking about penguins again

672
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:34.320
in a minute. But to get to that mindset of

673
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:39.159
not caring about anything, not in a selfish way, you know,

674
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:43.119
is it completely different from being selfish because you don't

675
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:46.679
even care about yourself. You literally don't care about anything.

676
00:57:47.480 --> 00:57:51.400
You let it all fall on the floor. It's almost

677
00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:54.239
like you just step out of your own skin. Leave

678
00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:57.519
it on the floor, leave it in the other room,

679
00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:02.440
you go to bed. It's your little place, your little pod,

680
00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:07.320
your little safe space, is safe bubble, whatever you want

681
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:15.480
to call it, where you can just relax, enjoy feeling relaxed.

682
00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:23.239
And if you've got your eyes closed, which unless you

683
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:28.559
enjoy looking at the ceiling, which I mean sometimes I do.

684
00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:32.519
Got quite a thing about ceilings, but generally I don't

685
00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:35.239
look at the ceiling, especially if it's dark you can't

686
00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:41.519
see the ceiling. I've got itchy bump. Okay, butter Gruther,

687
00:58:46.599 --> 00:58:56.880
you can just enjoy feeling relaxed, and that's it. There's

688
00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:04.920
nothing that you need to do. And when you don't

689
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:09.480
care about anything for that period of time, you just

690
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:14.079
let it go. And I do. I can see different perspectives,

691
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:18.039
and I can almost hear in my brain someone saying, yeah,

692
00:59:18.039 --> 00:59:22.199
but this person's unwell, of course I care. I'm thinking

693
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:26.920
about them. And that's the thing. You have to stop

694
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:33.559
caring about everything doesn't mean you don't care. Okay, I

695
00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:38.199
don't know if this concept is even comprehensible to me.

696
00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:43.599
I don't know. But you take a break from caring.

697
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:47.719
Doesn't mean you don't care, of course, you don't stop

698
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:53.360
loving the people you love, but you take a break

699
00:59:54.280 --> 00:59:58.880
from thinking about them. You take a break from even

700
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:04.679
almost like they don't exist. Nothing exists, Everything stops for

701
01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:18.760
a while, just for that short period that you're relaxing,

702
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:26.599
and then you fall asleep, and you don't have control

703
01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:30.639
over what you think about when you're asleep. I'm not

704
01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:33.079
saying that you're controlling what you think about when you're

705
01:00:33.119 --> 01:00:36.599
lying in bed, but you're kind of taking a bit

706
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:42.159
of control in the sense of letting go. And that

707
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:44.960
is what I mean when I say let go, like

708
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:53.360
literally drop everything. And I have literally done that in

709
01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:56.960
the past myself in the you know, where I've walked

710
01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:00.559
away from every single thing, every aspect of my life,

711
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:06.679
where I lived, where I worked, friends, everything. I'm not

712
01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:09.400
recommending it, but you know, there's been times when I've

713
01:01:09.440 --> 01:01:15.920
had to do that and there is a relief. The

714
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:19.119
problem with doing that is it's hard to come back to,

715
01:01:19.199 --> 01:01:21.400
you know, from that. If you do that in life,

716
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:26.920
you drop every single thing in life. But when you're

717
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:33.760
in bed, you can do it for a period of time. Now,

718
01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:36.039
I understand some people might have to have the phone

719
01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:42.000
on because I loved one might need their help or whatever,

720
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:52.559
but that's dealt with. When it happens. You're not planning

721
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:58.320
a head, not even one minute, not even five seconds ahead.

722
01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:05.840
There's no planning. There's no yesterday, no tomorrow, not even

723
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:10.000
any it's not even a now. It's just almost nothing.

724
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:31.679
The peace, calmness and when you feel it, that that

725
01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:39.239
slowness in your mind where there's just nothing going on,

726
01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:50.519
there's nothing happening, there's there's no need for any kind

727
01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:58.000
of stimulation or any type of dialogue to be occurring.

728
01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:10.159
Mm hmm, because you've given yourself permission to just let

729
01:03:10.239 --> 01:03:23.599
go and not care for a while. I guess some

730
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:27.079
would say it's kind of like a like an emptiness,

731
01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:37.920
a peacefulness, calmness, potentially healing. Your body relaxes even more,

732
01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:45.480
your mind not only slows down, but maybe also maybe

733
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:57.039
it comes to a practical standstill. I kind of think

734
01:03:57.079 --> 01:04:00.400
I should have done this question at the end because

735
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:04.719
I'm going to go back to being silly again. Sorry,

736
01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:08.920
but yeah, that's what I'm thinking. And thank you for

737
01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:11.480
saying I've got a beautiful voice. It's quite weird. Because

738
01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:14.599
when I was reading it out, I was noticing my

739
01:04:14.719 --> 01:04:23.440
voice particularly croaky today, particularly croaky. And what is a

740
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:31.480
good way to do stress in conjunction? And I could

741
01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:33.679
have gone silly with the answer for that question, but

742
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:38.920
I thought i'd be give a serious answer because ultimately

743
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:43.599
that is what I'm trying to do. I am trying

744
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:49.199
to I know, I'm mess about and hopefully it's entertaining

745
01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:56.440
and it's I can be company maybe to you, like

746
01:04:56.559 --> 01:05:08.159
a a familiar voice, perhaps even you know, But I

747
01:05:08.159 --> 01:05:13.480
am also aiming to help. I mean that that in

748
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:22.440
itself can be helpful, but I am aiming to that

749
01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:27.639
the recordings are useful, you know. So yeah, so thanks,

750
01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:33.960
so thanks Hope and Temmy for those two questions, and

751
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:40.639
thanks for saying it. I've got a beautiful voice. Ing

752
01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:44.960
asks me, how do you met? Oh yeah, by the way,

753
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.639
the dog walker I was talking to just looked at

754
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:51.760
me blankly. What Because I was talking about how I'm

755
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:55.239
just trying to help people, to try to explain to

756
01:05:55.400 --> 01:06:01.000
just let go and to not care about anything, and

757
01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:03.000
she said, oh, I only ask you if you think

758
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:06.719
it's going to rain. So I think it flumes her

759
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:11.199
a little bit every time I see it now she

760
01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:19.119
runs the opposite direction. But that's nothing new. Ing asks me,

761
01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:24.239
how do you manage to put a podcast episode online

762
01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:31.840
every day? Does this sometimes stress you out? Do you ever?

763
01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:32.519
Wow?

764
01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:35.679
Very croaky? I think it's the heat. It's croaking me.

765
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:49.639
It's a little bit of water, hm, nice, A nice

766
01:06:49.679 --> 01:06:58.559
little sip of warm water from my plastic bottle. Does

767
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:01.719
this sometimes stress you out? Do you ever find it

768
01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:12.119
difficult to motivate yourself? Yeah? If I'm not motivated, I

769
01:07:12.199 --> 01:07:20.480
just don't do one. Generally, I've realized over the years

770
01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:25.800
that there's no point trying to force it, because if

771
01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:30.280
I'm in the wrong mood, then there's I might as

772
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.760
well just not make a recording, because I've on a few,

773
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:37.039
not many times, but a few occasions, I've made recordings

774
01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:41.880
and I've had to abandon them halfway through or just

775
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:48.840
delete them because I've not been in the correct space.

776
01:07:48.960 --> 01:07:58.840
You know, mindset, I don't, I mean really, as far

777
01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:06.400
as it doesn't stress me out making recordings because I

778
01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:10.559
know I don't have to. You know, I don't have

779
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:13.639
to do this that no one's I'm not being forced,

780
01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:15.800
I'm not being paid to do it. I don't have to,

781
01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:24.640
there's no. I don't feel really under pressure, not really.

782
01:08:25.479 --> 01:08:27.920
I mean, the only pressure I'm ever under is the

783
01:08:27.960 --> 01:08:36.279
pressure I put myself. And I probably made more recordings

784
01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:40.720
this year than I have in any other year. I

785
01:08:40.760 --> 01:08:44.119
mean at this point in the year. I mean, so

786
01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:48.039
what we six months in, nearly seven months in what

787
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:53.159
was it a twentieth of June? No, six months in? Sorry,

788
01:08:53.239 --> 01:08:59.119
six months into the year, nearly another ten days, and

789
01:09:03.279 --> 01:09:05.560
I don't think we've ever done as many recordings as

790
01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:11.319
this in six months before? What you wanted to account?

791
01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:12.119
How many have done?

792
01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:12.800
Really?

793
01:09:15.319 --> 01:09:18.880
I could just hear. I could hear the people screaming.

794
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:22.479
No, no, we don't need you to count them.

795
01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:30.199
No, man, my look, I've done quite I'm sure I

796
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:34.119
didn't I count them the other day? Didn't I count?

797
01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:35.920
How many have done it? It won't take long, don't we

798
01:09:37.239 --> 01:09:40.520
Because although it's a fair amount, it's still not going

799
01:09:40.600 --> 01:09:44.000
to be a huge amount. Probably twenty or thirty, I

800
01:09:44.039 --> 01:09:52.920
don't know, maybe more. There must be an easier way

801
01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:57.479
of doing it than this. I'm just scrolling down, still

802
01:09:57.520 --> 01:10:06.039
in April, in March, now, still in March. So I

803
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:14.239
don't really feel stressed to make new recordings. I think

804
01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:18.680
if anything is beneficial for me to do it because

805
01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:25.920
without being dramatic, I don't have anything else. This is

806
01:10:25.960 --> 01:10:30.760
all I have. This is other than taking Vinny for

807
01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:33.439
I want to say the word, but taking him out

808
01:10:35.399 --> 01:10:39.520
because I have to. There is nothing else that I

809
01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:47.319
really am kind of having to do a part of

810
01:10:47.399 --> 01:10:51.439
the basic stuff like you know, buying food and paying bills,

811
01:10:52.920 --> 01:10:57.239
all right, since the first of January one two three,

812
01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:03.359
I mean, actually we'll start the first of January. So

813
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:10.199
this is to let me boil you to sleep one thousand,

814
01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:14.640
two hundred and sixty one, so one thousand, two hundred

815
01:11:14.680 --> 01:11:26.279
and sixty one, and this one is one thousand, three

816
01:11:26.359 --> 01:11:34.760
hundred and eighty, so one hundred, one thousand. What one thousand,

817
01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:41.079
two hundred and sixty one, one thousand, three hundred and

818
01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:51.319
sixty one, so it's one hundred and nineteen including this one,

819
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:53.760
so down one hundred and nineteen. Let me boil you

820
01:11:53.800 --> 01:12:01.000
to sleep in well nearly six months, so three six,

821
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:05.239
nine twenty, so it's pretty much every day for four

822
01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:09.279
months and then two months or none kind of it's

823
01:12:09.439 --> 01:12:20.359
I suppose it's two two, four, six, eight, ten twelve. Yes,

824
01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:27.520
I suppose it's it's five ten fifteen, so twenty a week,

825
01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:31.399
twenty a month roughly for the let me boy to sleep,

826
01:12:32.720 --> 01:12:35.560
which is I've got a Monday to Friday every week

827
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:40.640
of the year so far, kind of. So let's have

828
01:12:40.680 --> 01:12:43.279
a look at all the others. So it was one,

829
01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:45.840
but this is all this other stuff that let me

830
01:12:45.880 --> 01:13:07.640
boy your paying away and blah blah one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,

01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:41.399
This is roughly, by the way I think I might

838
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:47.279
skim the couple fifty four, fifty five, fifty six, fifty seven,

01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:30.960
two hundred and eight, two hundred and nine, two hundred

864
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:36.159
and ten. So this is roughly I might have got

865
01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:39.039
it wrong. I might have missed the couple and might

866
01:16:39.079 --> 01:16:41.760
have valued a couple by accident, because the lot so

867
01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:46.960
roughly about two hundred and ten recordings so far this year,

868
01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:55.079
which is yeah, I mean, if I do the same,

869
01:16:56.960 --> 01:16:59.920
four hundred and fifty I've never done. I've never made

870
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:02.279
to four hundred and fifty recordings in a year before,

871
01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:04.840
And I don't know if I've ever made two hundred

872
01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:11.079
and ten in less than six months. What's my point?

873
01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:16.439
I don't know. I really don't know. I'm not sure.

874
01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:20.520
I thought I knew what it was, but I don't

875
01:17:20.560 --> 01:17:21.760
know now.

876
01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:24.920
Oh BlimE me.

877
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:34.520
I've had so many messages. What's going on here? Junk mail?

878
01:17:35.439 --> 01:17:39.640
I get so much junk mail. It's ridiculous. Oh wow.

879
01:17:41.760 --> 01:17:46.359
So yeah, how do I manage to put a podcast

880
01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:55.439
episode online every day? I don't know, really, I just

881
01:17:55.640 --> 01:18:02.560
because I don't That's the thing I have been lately. However,

882
01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:09.960
I do have periods when I don't make any recordings.

883
01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:13.239
There have been times when I've not made recordings for

884
01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:19.279
weeks in the past, even months. I've not gone months

885
01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:24.920
for a long time. In fact, I would say I

886
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:30.800
probably haven't gone months, probably in the last eight years.

887
01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:36.680
I can't remember the last time I went a few

888
01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:40.319
weeks without making a recording. It's got to be a

889
01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:44.319
long time ago. I can't even remember the last time

890
01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:48.319
when a whole week I might have done. I think

891
01:18:48.399 --> 01:18:53.920
I did when I lost Andre I had a week

892
01:18:54.039 --> 01:18:59.399
or two where I didn't make any recordings, but also

893
01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:01.920
when I lost Luke as well, my friend Luke. So

894
01:19:02.399 --> 01:19:06.439
I probably had. I had a time when I couldn't

895
01:19:06.439 --> 01:19:17.920
make recordings then as well. Yeah, so the thing is

896
01:19:17.960 --> 01:19:22.239
in the past. If we go back, like before I

897
01:19:22.319 --> 01:19:26.159
moved here ten years ago, even though I'd been doing

898
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:33.680
it for nine years, I wasn't doing recordings every day.

899
01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:38.600
I mean, it was times when it was, but it

900
01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:41.720
was more kind of whenever I felt like it and

901
01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:44.640
I was working, so I didn't have always have the

902
01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:47.560
energy to do it all the time. Or where I

903
01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:51.000
was living was too noisy, you know, So I wasn't

904
01:19:51.079 --> 01:19:56.199
as regular as I have been. In the last.

905
01:20:00.359 --> 01:20:11.800
Ice Cream Van, I don't know if.

906
01:20:11.720 --> 01:20:13.760
You can hear the background sound, I'm sure the music's

907
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:21.800
getting a louder ice Cream Van and how do im Yeah,

908
01:20:22.079 --> 01:20:25.560
I've been I'm quite pleased with how I've been able

909
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:29.159
to post a recording every day, nearly every day, and

910
01:20:29.439 --> 01:20:32.720
well more than more than one a day recently. But

911
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:42.880
this is I've never sustained making multiple recordings per day

912
01:20:44.239 --> 01:20:48.079
for any amount you length of time. I mean, this

913
01:20:48.199 --> 01:20:51.000
is okay, this is the third recording today. I did

914
01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:58.159
four yesterday. There's a chance I might make another one

915
01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:01.760
later on before I go to bed, but probably not.

916
01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:07.920
I don't know. It depends I might do. Sometimes it's

917
01:21:07.960 --> 01:21:11.159
a case of I get a little bit of inspiration

918
01:21:13.520 --> 01:21:18.479
for with the podcast this O look what I caught

919
01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:21.800
it called I should know the name of my podcast,

920
01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:31.319
shouldn't I? Really? Relaxation for Stress and Panic Attacks that podcast,

921
01:21:32.439 --> 01:21:38.159
And I've got how many different episodes? Two hundred and

922
01:21:38.199 --> 01:21:44.159
forty three different episodes that one is some of the

923
01:21:44.199 --> 01:21:48.119
recordings are short. But it's just an idea I've had,

924
01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:50.880
Like I had an idea of using a flamethrower on

925
01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:57.840
a an ice sculpture of the words stress and melting

926
01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:05.520
it and then that turns into a biscuit shaped stress

927
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:09.560
and a dog eating it and then the stress being

928
01:22:10.119 --> 01:22:13.680
pooed out. I don't know why I always seem to

929
01:22:13.680 --> 01:22:16.760
go that direction. But I had another one called today

930
01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:21.600
called blowing bubbles, and that's based upon the whole idea

931
01:22:21.720 --> 01:22:29.000
of especially for kids really to be honest, but by

932
01:22:29.079 --> 01:22:31.640
blowing out, you know, if you blow through a tube,

933
01:22:32.359 --> 01:22:36.720
blowing the bubble, that is a way to calm the

934
01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:42.560
breathing without focusing on the breathing. And it's fun, especially

935
01:22:42.560 --> 01:22:45.119
for a kid. It's fun for I think I would

936
01:22:45.239 --> 01:22:51.359
argue that blowing bubbles can potentially be fun for anyone,

937
01:22:51.640 --> 01:23:00.640
And I talked about my own experiences and how even

938
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:06.760
though controling, breathing is almost if you look at any

939
01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:16.560
any book, whether it's stress relief or anxiety, any all recordings,

940
01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:21.560
most of them seem to focus on breathing techniques. Even

941
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:29.319
hypnosis recordings focusing on breathing techniques to start with. I

942
01:23:29.439 --> 01:23:40.680
don't do that generally because for me, it's about relaxing

943
01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:49.119
but kind of going slow with it. And what I

944
01:23:49.279 --> 01:23:54.600
noticed is when the more you relax, the slower you're

945
01:23:54.640 --> 01:24:00.920
breathing becomes naturally and becomes deeper as well. But it's

946
01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:07.840
just a natural process. And I also realized in my

947
01:24:07.920 --> 01:24:12.039
own experience with anxiety and panic attacks and stuff like that,

948
01:24:13.079 --> 01:24:15.000
the last thing in the world I wanted to do

949
01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:19.319
was focus on my breathing. I was too self conscious

950
01:24:19.439 --> 01:24:24.359
of it at that time. Anyway, I needed a distraction

951
01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:31.640
from that. So, you know, breathing out, maybe due to hyperventilation,

952
01:24:32.119 --> 01:24:34.640
breathing out is obviously it's a good thing, isn't it,

953
01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:38.560
Because you're breathing in too much. If you start blowing

954
01:24:38.600 --> 01:24:42.680
bubbles breathing, or you could technically blow up some balloons,

955
01:24:42.760 --> 01:24:46.760
that's another thing you could do, I guess, but I

956
01:24:46.840 --> 01:24:50.279
probably choose to blow bubbles and blow out balloons. It's

957
01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:53.479
more fun. I mean, technically you've got the balloons at

958
01:24:53.479 --> 01:24:55.039
the end of it, so you've got somebody to show

959
01:24:55.600 --> 01:24:59.119
for it, because we're the bubbles. They do pop, don't they.

960
01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:06.479
But it's just some more natural especially probably for children.

961
01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:09.800
It's a more natural way of getting them to breathe

962
01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:14.920
out more than they're breathing in. That then evens out

963
01:25:14.960 --> 01:25:17.720
the breathing. And this is based in science as well,

964
01:25:17.760 --> 01:25:19.479
because I did a little bit of research for this,

965
01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:23.039
So this isn't just like something that I just thought

966
01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:27.439
up and thought to myself. But it gave me an

967
01:25:27.479 --> 01:25:32.159
idea to do a recording on it. And it's those

968
01:25:32.279 --> 01:25:39.800
kind of moments that I really enjoy when I I

969
01:25:39.960 --> 01:25:46.199
just have an idea and I think, oh, either ice kettle,

970
01:25:46.319 --> 01:25:55.680
anger release or ways to disrupt worrying. And I mean

971
01:25:55.680 --> 01:26:04.159
I started doing these years ago. I'm just looking through it,

972
01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:07.800
and I was doing it for a while. I was

973
01:26:07.880 --> 01:26:11.880
doing them every day, So I don't even have the

974
01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:15.840
date when I first started, but it was I didn't

975
01:26:15.880 --> 01:26:19.399
give the names for the first thirty five I think

976
01:26:19.600 --> 01:26:31.239
thirty six forty okay, no, fifty nine seventy. I didn't it.

977
01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:33.439
I didn't have I didn't have any kind of tie

978
01:26:33.439 --> 01:26:40.279
to all. Yeah, I did. Started, I started doing it, okay,

979
01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:51.560
number seventy safe space model plane sounds. So it's different ones.

980
01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:58.039
I had smiley mirror meaning and purpose, web page ball

981
01:26:58.119 --> 01:27:03.199
or sock silly song that was a good one. To

982
01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:08.359
check that one out, it's very silly. And bath Floater

983
01:27:08.640 --> 01:27:10.359
that's another good one. I think I think it was

984
01:27:10.439 --> 01:27:14.600
quite funny. So it's just and these are short. They're

985
01:27:14.680 --> 01:27:16.840
like fifteen minutes long some of them. Some of them

986
01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:24.199
are like an hour. But usually, well, i'll tell you

987
01:27:24.199 --> 01:27:30.479
a secret. Sometimes I have a tendency to talk a lot,

988
01:27:31.319 --> 01:27:35.439
but sudden these titles are pretty good. Question automatic thinking,

989
01:27:36.479 --> 01:27:45.239
evict self prejudice, brain plasticity. So that was twenty first

990
01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:49.439
of February twenty twenty. That's when I started putting dates

991
01:27:49.479 --> 01:27:59.479
on them. So in twenty twenty February or January, actually January, okay, right,

992
01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:06.039
so number fifty three eight for September twenty nineteen. So

993
01:28:07.000 --> 01:28:10.920
I started doing these relaxation hypnosis for stress, anxiety and

994
01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:22.159
panic attacks in probably two thousand and fifteen. Probably it

995
01:28:22.239 --> 01:28:26.079
was one of the first, probably maybe two thousand and sixteen.

996
01:28:26.399 --> 01:28:28.640
It's one of the first ones I did when I

997
01:28:28.680 --> 01:28:31.399
moved in here, because I remember I did it. I

998
01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:36.479
actually made some videos. I think I did thirty two videos,

999
01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:40.880
and I had them on YouTube, and I made podcasts

1000
01:28:40.880 --> 01:28:43.760
and I had proper microphones and stuff. It was the

1001
01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:49.319
first time i'd really tried that out. Vicecript No mass

1002
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:52.319
that's another one. I was good. It's nearly an hour long.

1003
01:28:54.479 --> 01:28:57.439
See some of these these are the sum many recordings

1004
01:28:57.520 --> 01:29:03.000
that I felt were really good, not like good like

1005
01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:09.159
ooh but oh whatever that means, but just like, yeah,

1006
01:29:10.199 --> 01:29:17.279
quite creative. And because I used to I used to

1007
01:29:17.319 --> 01:29:20.359
do it with this little microphone that was attached like

1008
01:29:20.359 --> 01:29:23.720
a lapel microphone. The quality of the sound isn't perfect,

1009
01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:26.359
to be honest. I mean, it's probably never going to

1010
01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:31.039
be perfect, but it was it was okay for what

1011
01:29:31.079 --> 01:29:34.560
I was doing because I was standing up talking. And

1012
01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:39.760
if you remember, this was during two thousand and twenty,

1013
01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:42.800
you know, and I was doing a lot in January,

1014
01:29:42.800 --> 01:29:46.680
February March April twenty twenty, so there was a lot

1015
01:29:46.760 --> 01:29:49.960
going on in that time of you know, in the

1016
01:29:49.960 --> 01:29:54.560
world back then. So I guess I was just trying

1017
01:29:54.600 --> 01:30:00.920
to put out a little bit of maybe a little

1018
01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:06.600
bit of relaxation, a bit of healing. And yeah, So

1019
01:30:06.680 --> 01:30:12.000
I did these very very regularly. Nineteenth for June seventeenth,

1020
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:18.000
for June twenty first, twenty second of June, twenty third

1021
01:30:18.039 --> 01:30:24.640
of June, twenty fourth, twenty fifth, twenty ninth, second of July, two,

1022
01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:27.479
on the second of July, third of July, fifth, seventh

1023
01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:33.119
of July, thirteenth of July five years ago, sixteenth two

1024
01:30:33.159 --> 01:30:35.560
on the same date. See what I mean? It was

1025
01:30:35.600 --> 01:30:39.119
like there was dates. It wasn't every day, but sometimes

1026
01:30:39.720 --> 01:30:46.960
it was a few days in a row, and I

1027
01:30:47.079 --> 01:30:51.680
ended up doing so far got up to what's going

1028
01:30:51.720 --> 01:30:57.760
on there? That's weird? Go away, stop it. Two hundred

1029
01:30:57.760 --> 01:31:05.079
and forty three, nine years I suppose. Really there's quite

1030
01:31:05.119 --> 01:31:07.600
a different. There was a bit of a gap between

1031
01:31:07.680 --> 01:31:12.800
when I started doing them and I finished doing them.

1032
01:31:14.399 --> 01:31:16.439
Did that answer the question? I don't know what was

1033
01:31:16.479 --> 01:31:20.600
the question now? Was what was the question? Oh? Okay,

1034
01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:26.079
I think I have so yeah, Thanks ing Ali asks

1035
01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:32.279
do you ever mis washing your hair? How rude? Also

1036
01:31:32.399 --> 01:31:36.920
curious about your take on poetry, both reading and writing, Well,

1037
01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:41.159
I do. I do still wash my hair even though

1038
01:31:42.159 --> 01:31:47.479
it's receding, and I do shave it, but I don't

1039
01:31:47.520 --> 01:31:51.079
shave it to the bone. I kind of trim it,

1040
01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:53.840
if you know what I mean. So I do still

1041
01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:55.680
wash because I've still got hair, follow calls and I

1042
01:31:55.680 --> 01:31:57.479
still wash. I do still wash my hair when I'm

1043
01:31:57.479 --> 01:32:02.199
in a shower. And even it's going to sound weird.

1044
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:04.920
Even when I used to shave my head all the

1045
01:32:04.960 --> 01:32:08.039
way to the bone, like completely, you know, to the scalp,

1046
01:32:08.439 --> 01:32:12.800
I still used to wash my scalp. It just I

1047
01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:16.159
don't know. It just felt like I should, There's something

1048
01:32:16.199 --> 01:32:19.880
I should do, and so yeah, I do still watch.

1049
01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:21.920
So even if I was bored, I'd still wash my hair,

1050
01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:26.000
even if I was completely bald. However weird that might sound,

1051
01:32:26.039 --> 01:32:35.439
I probably would still wash my head. Yeah it might.

1052
01:32:35.520 --> 01:32:37.760
Maybe it's a weird thing to do. I'm not sure.

1053
01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:44.279
Curious about your take on poetry, both reading and writing.

1054
01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:51.800
I used to write poetry when I was a kid.

1055
01:32:53.039 --> 01:32:55.840
I suppose I was more into songs, but I wrote

1056
01:32:55.880 --> 01:33:00.680
poetry at various times all the way through my twenties

1057
01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:11.640
and then I kind of stopped. Yeah, I used to

1058
01:33:11.640 --> 01:33:18.239
be quite into poetry, but not probably not traditional poetry

1059
01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:23.600
I quite liked. I was very into beat poetry, which

1060
01:33:23.800 --> 01:33:29.359
was also I was quite into Buddhist bi poetry as well.

1061
01:33:30.359 --> 01:33:34.000
But this was like the early nineties. I became very

1062
01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:38.319
interested in the Beat generation. Anna in Ginsburg. He did

1063
01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:42.880
a book. It was basically a poem called how and

1064
01:33:43.399 --> 01:33:46.199
in it. I can't say I enjoyed the book, to

1065
01:33:46.239 --> 01:33:50.439
be honest, but he was a big name in the

1066
01:33:50.439 --> 01:33:54.479
They were all on drugs, basically write in and doing

1067
01:33:54.479 --> 01:33:59.000
all kinds of stuff, but some of it really I liked.

1068
01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:04.680
My favorite poets and also he was a writer was

1069
01:34:04.800 --> 01:34:09.800
Charles Berkowski, and there's something about the realism. I liked,

1070
01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:18.359
the the non floweriness of him. He yeah, I'm not

1071
01:34:18.399 --> 01:34:21.960
quite sure how to explain it. And he didn't care

1072
01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:26.520
about rhyming. And that was the first time really that

1073
01:34:28.119 --> 01:34:32.960
I think that was the first time that when I

1074
01:34:33.039 --> 01:34:39.159
discovered the Beat generation, that I realized that not all

1075
01:34:39.800 --> 01:34:46.079
poems rhyme. All rhymes rhyme, but not all poems rhyme,

1076
01:34:47.760 --> 01:34:53.720
not all ryme's poem. And it threw me off a

1077
01:34:53.720 --> 01:35:00.760
little bit because I was always I was always a rhymer, generally,

1078
01:35:00.800 --> 01:35:05.800
always rhymed and realizing, and I think that was more

1079
01:35:05.840 --> 01:35:11.840
to do with I guess I was, you know, when

1080
01:35:11.920 --> 01:35:14.359
I was probably from the age of eight, I used

1081
01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:20.800
to write lyrics songs and song lyrics, so they kind

1082
01:35:20.840 --> 01:35:28.199
of had to rhyme. Really. But in the early nineties,

1083
01:35:28.319 --> 01:35:34.880
I thought about ninety two, ninety three, ninety four, I yeah,

1084
01:35:34.920 --> 01:35:38.880
I got really into the Beat generation poets, not just them,

1085
01:35:38.920 --> 01:35:48.439
I did read other poetry as well. No, I wouldn't

1086
01:35:48.479 --> 01:35:56.359
sound particularly a fan of poetry. It's I think because

1087
01:35:56.439 --> 01:36:04.319
I'm able to express myself. I don't really feel I

1088
01:36:04.359 --> 01:36:09.880
need someone else to express how I feel, if that

1089
01:36:09.920 --> 01:36:14.880
makes any kind of weird sense. And I think with

1090
01:36:15.079 --> 01:36:18.439
poetry just as in books, and you see it on

1091
01:36:18.479 --> 01:36:22.119
Facebook posts, people posting something that someone else has written,

1092
01:36:22.880 --> 01:36:25.239
like this is how I feel, Like, well, just tell

1093
01:36:25.319 --> 01:36:29.680
me how you feel, write down how you feel instead

1094
01:36:29.680 --> 01:36:34.439
of just posting what someone else has written. And I'm

1095
01:36:34.560 --> 01:36:37.119
kind of that way, I kind of if I'm gonna

1096
01:36:39.479 --> 01:36:41.279
maybe I haven't always been able to to do that,

1097
01:36:41.319 --> 01:36:43.640
and maybe I don't do it very well also, but

1098
01:36:45.439 --> 01:36:48.560
I value the idea of being able to just express

1099
01:36:49.199 --> 01:36:59.439
myself with Yeah, I'm not sure if this is making

1100
01:36:59.479 --> 01:37:03.600
any sense. I'm not putting down poetry at all, because

1101
01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:05.880
it's something that I was never particularly any good at.

1102
01:37:05.960 --> 01:37:10.800
But I think that's a good thing about poetry is

1103
01:37:10.840 --> 01:37:15.199
once I discovered that it doesn't have to rhyme, I

1104
01:37:15.239 --> 01:37:20.159
also discovered that it doesn't have to be good. And

1105
01:37:20.199 --> 01:37:23.800
then I discovered that actually, what's good for one person,

1106
01:37:23.960 --> 01:37:27.119
it is not necessarily good for another person. Because I

1107
01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:30.439
was growing up, I was still early twenties, it took

1108
01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:38.199
a lot of learning to realize that different people felt

1109
01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:41.199
differently about different things. And I kind of knew, but

1110
01:37:41.479 --> 01:37:49.279
you know, it's still an education. I'm still amazed, really

1111
01:37:49.479 --> 01:37:57.279
how polarized people's opinions can be sometimes like so different

1112
01:37:59.119 --> 01:38:05.840
about the same subject. It's almost like I just I

1113
01:38:05.920 --> 01:38:09.720
see it on boxing forums on Facebook and someone to

1114
01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:15.000
post something nice and then someone to post something that

1115
01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:20.159
really just goes completely the other way, and I'm like,

1116
01:38:20.279 --> 01:38:25.119
what why what what? What? What?

1117
01:38:25.119 --> 01:38:27.479
Whoa that way?

1118
01:38:27.479 --> 01:38:38.520
I'm not going to talk about boxing h So I

1119
01:38:38.520 --> 01:38:40.319
I would have been I would have liked to have

1120
01:38:40.359 --> 01:38:44.800
been good with I think I think with writing, I'm

1121
01:38:44.840 --> 01:38:54.359
a reader rather than a writer. With poetry, and possibly

1122
01:38:54.399 --> 01:39:01.159
a bit of both. I don't do either at the moment.

1123
01:39:02.760 --> 01:39:08.119
I used to write, but I used to like write journals.

1124
01:39:10.079 --> 01:39:19.279
I've discovered in more recent years that my writing is verbal.

1125
01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:26.439
My creativity is verbal. It's not writing down on a

1126
01:39:26.479 --> 01:39:31.439
piece of paper or typing on a screen, you know,

1127
01:39:31.560 --> 01:39:37.279
typing on a laptop or whatever. It's just me talking.

1128
01:39:39.319 --> 01:39:43.800
Whether it's whether it's a good thing or not. This

1129
01:39:43.920 --> 01:39:49.000
is my this is my way of expressing myself. And

1130
01:39:54.159 --> 01:39:59.680
I think something that happened years ago is it probably

1131
01:39:59.680 --> 01:40:03.199
is firs I started happening. Probably it happened when I

1132
01:40:03.239 --> 01:40:07.920
was a kid, but it was harder back then. But then,

1133
01:40:08.399 --> 01:40:14.399
when I was probably late teens, I started to realize

1134
01:40:14.439 --> 01:40:25.399
that gradually, how I felt my thoughts were just as

1135
01:40:25.520 --> 01:40:29.880
valid as other people's thoughts. What I had to say

1136
01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:33.239
was just as valid as theirs. It didn't mean that

1137
01:40:33.319 --> 01:40:37.680
I was right or that they were right, or that

1138
01:40:37.680 --> 01:40:43.720
they were wrong, or that I was wrong, but it's equal. However,

1139
01:40:43.760 --> 01:40:46.000
it was difficult back then because I was around a

1140
01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:49.680
lot of older people, and I found that a lot

1141
01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:53.920
of them were true to me, like a young person

1142
01:40:54.319 --> 01:41:00.439
talking down to me, almost telling me how things should be.

1143
01:41:04.880 --> 01:41:07.560
But over time, I guess once I got to my twenties,

1144
01:41:09.560 --> 01:41:13.720
I was reading a lot more, and I was kind

1145
01:41:13.720 --> 01:41:20.840
of educating myself, and I was starting to realize getting

1146
01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:24.840
to getting to know myself. I suppose it's taken decades

1147
01:41:25.880 --> 01:41:27.640
to even get to where I am now, and I'm

1148
01:41:27.640 --> 01:41:30.439
not sure where I am. I know where I am,

1149
01:41:30.640 --> 01:41:34.119
but you know, I'm not sure what kind of progression

1150
01:41:34.159 --> 01:41:38.399
I've made. And it's this the most serious Q and

1151
01:41:38.439 --> 01:41:51.119
a Friday ever. I do apologize. Yeah, that point, and

1152
01:41:51.119 --> 01:41:53.880
this is something that I've thought about back then, is

1153
01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:59.920
like without getting into an argument with someone, you know,

1154
01:42:03.239 --> 01:42:05.640
and I know sometimes it is just opinions, but my

1155
01:42:05.720 --> 01:42:10.560
opinions is my opinion is as valid as anyone else's, okay,

1156
01:42:10.800 --> 01:42:17.079
regardless of how ridiculous it might be at times. But

1157
01:42:17.119 --> 01:42:19.800
I also realized as I got older that I would

1158
01:42:19.840 --> 01:42:28.479
never I don't hold opinions that highly. And I realized

1159
01:42:28.479 --> 01:42:41.159
that over time that having restrictive, unmovable beliefs in some

1160
01:42:41.199 --> 01:42:44.920
ways can be really helpful, but in other ways maybe

1161
01:42:45.039 --> 01:42:51.239
not so much. So I think I spent the last

1162
01:42:53.720 --> 01:43:03.760
probably twenty years slowly, and you know, trying to reduce

1163
01:43:05.560 --> 01:43:12.000
my beliefs, reduce my limited thinking. And there is a

1164
01:43:12.039 --> 01:43:14.039
lot of limited. I do have a lot of limited

1165
01:43:14.079 --> 01:43:24.039
thinking my brain, for you know, my brain is definitely

1166
01:43:24.119 --> 01:43:30.800
not not wired correctly, which is fine, but it's made

1167
01:43:30.880 --> 01:43:45.119
life difficult. Wow, my stomach's been gurgling for two days

1168
01:43:45.159 --> 01:43:49.039
now when I'm hungry. Maybe used to go, Well, maybe

1169
01:43:49.079 --> 01:43:56.239
it's always gurgled. I've just not noticed it before, but I've

1170
01:43:56.279 --> 01:44:00.199
tried to. So I think what's helped is a being

1171
01:44:00.239 --> 01:44:05.640
around people that have different belief systems to me, like

1172
01:44:05.920 --> 01:44:11.840
completely different. And I know some people I've seen on

1173
01:44:12.000 --> 01:44:16.399
Facebook if you support that politician, then we're not friends.

1174
01:44:16.520 --> 01:44:19.880
That kind of stuff, Like, Okay, I don't get that.

1175
01:44:20.319 --> 01:44:26.720
I really don't, because I just don't. And if I

1176
01:44:26.840 --> 01:44:29.159
wasn't friends with people that had different opinions to me,

1177
01:44:32.079 --> 01:44:36.720
I literally would not have any friends because I don't

1178
01:44:36.800 --> 01:44:43.279
know anyone that has the same viewpoints as myself generally,

1179
01:44:50.359 --> 01:44:54.439
maybe some, but not, like you know, there's always I mean,

1180
01:44:54.520 --> 01:44:56.319
I was speaking to someone the other day and it's

1181
01:44:56.359 --> 01:45:03.479
amazing they came out with something that was outrageous, like

1182
01:45:03.640 --> 01:45:09.720
outrageous that they weren't joking, that's the thing. And I

1183
01:45:09.800 --> 01:45:16.600
was like, wow, okay, but I didn't care thirty years ago.

1184
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:20.359
I might have had something to say, but like that,

1185
01:45:21.479 --> 01:45:25.640
it doesn't matter. I just laughed because everyone can believe

1186
01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:28.880
what they want to believe. I can't control what other

1187
01:45:28.920 --> 01:45:35.399
people think. And there's a kind of peacefulness in that,

1188
01:45:35.560 --> 01:45:41.079
I think, kind of a sense of relaxation and again

1189
01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:49.560
letting go, realizing that I'm only really responsible for what

1190
01:45:49.640 --> 01:46:00.680
I think. Yeah, man, wow, this has got deep. I'll

1191
01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:04.720
give you that. For those that don't know, I used

1192
01:46:04.760 --> 01:46:07.760
to write songs, okay, when I was eight, nine, ten, eleven,

1193
01:46:08.039 --> 01:46:10.520
all the way up to fifteen. We all, in fact,

1194
01:46:10.560 --> 01:46:15.520
all the way up to the last one I did.

1195
01:46:15.600 --> 01:46:19.399
I was think I was thirty. So I've written a

1196
01:46:19.399 --> 01:46:23.359
few songs, even recorded a few songs, not professionally, but

1197
01:46:23.399 --> 01:46:27.560
with a professional musician, you know, but not in an

1198
01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:32.399
actual studio studio, you know. But the lyrics of my

1199
01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:36.359
first song was called Mandy and I recorded that when

1200
01:46:36.399 --> 01:46:42.239
I was eight or nine. Mandy Baby is basically as

1201
01:46:42.279 --> 01:46:47.560
a girl I met at caravan Park and I fell

1202
01:46:47.560 --> 01:46:51.880
in love with her. We spent one day together, think

1203
01:46:51.920 --> 01:46:54.680
each run around, pulling each other's hair and running off

1204
01:46:54.720 --> 01:46:58.840
again and checking sand at each other, you know, things

1205
01:46:58.840 --> 01:47:01.760
like that. And then she left and so I realized

1206
01:47:01.800 --> 01:47:04.960
I was. I loved her forever. So I wrote a

1207
01:47:05.000 --> 01:47:10.840
song Mandy. It's called Mandy Baby. Listen to me, Mandy Baby.

1208
01:47:10.960 --> 01:47:13.760
I want you to see Mandy Deer, I want you

1209
01:47:13.840 --> 01:47:17.960
to hear. I don't want a single tear. I love you, baby,

1210
01:47:18.159 --> 01:47:20.359
Mandy I do. I just want to know if you

1211
01:47:20.479 --> 01:47:23.760
love me too. Just say something I want to know.

1212
01:47:24.479 --> 01:47:28.319
Just say something like hello, Oh Mandy, I love you.

1213
01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:33.119
That's a lot more enthusiastic when I sing it, or

1214
01:47:33.119 --> 01:47:36.840
when I used to sing it like many beebit listen

1215
01:47:36.920 --> 01:47:39.279
to me, Okay, I'm not going to sing it now.

1216
01:47:40.760 --> 01:47:44.319
I did another one. It was like, do you really

1217
01:47:44.359 --> 01:47:47.199
have to go and leave me in great sorrow? Do

1218
01:47:47.239 --> 01:47:49.439
you really have to leave and say goodbye to me

1219
01:47:49.600 --> 01:47:56.239
without affection? I will definitely miss your tender, loving kiss me.

1220
01:47:56.319 --> 01:47:58.520
I don't think they've even kissed the girl at that point.

1221
01:47:59.119 --> 01:48:01.199
So that was another song. I can't remember that. There

1222
01:48:01.239 --> 01:48:04.680
was another one called called Sarah. This is about girl

1223
01:48:04.680 --> 01:48:07.600
I was in love with when I was about fourteen.

1224
01:48:09.399 --> 01:48:12.199
Sarah Baby. Listen to me, Sarah Baby, I want you

1225
01:48:12.159 --> 01:48:16.680
to see. No. It was a different song, So, Dear Sarah,

1226
01:48:16.840 --> 01:48:19.960
how do you do hope? You're missing me the way

1227
01:48:20.119 --> 01:48:23.760
I'm missing you. She didn't even like me. I don't

1228
01:48:23.760 --> 01:48:26.880
know what like. She didn't miss me, she wasn't interested

1229
01:48:26.880 --> 01:48:29.680
in me. She told me to go away. But hey, anyway,

1230
01:48:30.960 --> 01:48:34.000
dear Sarah, how do you do hope you're missing me

1231
01:48:34.479 --> 01:48:37.600
the way I'm missing you? Do you think about me

1232
01:48:37.800 --> 01:48:42.800
in your dreams? If you do, think about out out

1233
01:48:43.119 --> 01:48:47.720
what it seemed? Okay, just it's bad, you know, so

1234
01:48:47.760 --> 01:48:52.000
I think about what it's, what it means. Feelings are

1235
01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:54.640
not always shown during the day, but when you go

1236
01:48:54.720 --> 01:49:01.039
to sleep, or you're worries or your problems drift away,

1237
01:49:01.960 --> 01:49:05.079
or or your worries drift away, then your feelings start

1238
01:49:05.199 --> 01:49:09.399
to arise. Your feelings start to rise, showing something that

1239
01:49:09.479 --> 01:49:14.960
you didn't realize. It's quite deep actually, for my age. Really,

1240
01:49:16.039 --> 01:49:18.960
feelings are not always shown during the day, but when

1241
01:49:19.000 --> 01:49:22.600
you go to sleep or your worries drift away, then

1242
01:49:22.640 --> 01:49:29.680
your feelings start to arise, showing something that you didn't realize.

1243
01:49:30.640 --> 01:49:37.399
I love you, Sarah. I love you. I really do.

1244
01:49:37.680 --> 01:49:44.560
There's nothing I can do something else like, oh, Sarah,

1245
01:49:44.600 --> 01:49:47.159
I love you. So that was what I did when

1246
01:49:47.159 --> 01:49:48.760
I was a kid, and then when I was about

1247
01:49:48.800 --> 01:49:53.640
twenty six, I did a song called I Miss You.

1248
01:49:55.840 --> 01:49:58.199
I can remember the words of this one. I missed

1249
01:49:58.199 --> 01:50:05.439
the way that The chorus was, I wish you'd come

1250
01:50:05.479 --> 01:50:09.560
back to me. I wish you'd come back to me.

1251
01:50:10.439 --> 01:50:13.960
I wish you'd be part of my world. I miss

1252
01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:19.640
you endlessly. Once you, please be my girl. I'll be

1253
01:50:19.680 --> 01:50:23.479
the best that I can be. Wull be the best

1254
01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:28.039
it could be, letting you know just how I feel,

1255
01:50:31.600 --> 01:50:34.000
and letting you know that my love is real, something

1256
01:50:34.039 --> 01:50:36.239
like that. But it was like I miss you, I

1257
01:50:36.319 --> 01:50:41.199
missed the miss the way I touch your fingertips with

1258
01:50:41.359 --> 01:50:44.600
my lips or something like that. So there was that one,

1259
01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:50.600
and I did the Tuesday song, which was I I wonder,

1260
01:50:50.960 --> 01:50:56.079
I wonder, I wonder why do you? That was it.

1261
01:51:02.239 --> 01:51:05.800
I wish you'd come back to me. I wish you'd

1262
01:51:05.880 --> 01:51:11.640
be part of my world. I'll kiss you endlessly and

1263
01:51:11.800 --> 01:51:15.920
show you they'll let me be your girl. I do

1264
01:51:15.920 --> 01:51:19.399
do do, do, do do do, show you just how

1265
01:51:19.479 --> 01:51:25.079
much for you? Whatever that was that one? What was it?

1266
01:51:26.720 --> 01:51:32.520
I I I wonder, I wonder wonder why why you

1267
01:51:32.680 --> 01:51:37.279
had to leave and take my heart away from me?

1268
01:51:41.439 --> 01:51:48.000
I wonder wonder you had to leave and take my

1269
01:51:48.319 --> 01:51:53.800
heart away from me? Why did you lie to me?

1270
01:51:56.399 --> 01:52:02.319
And then there's of course, don't you worthy you never

1271
01:52:02.520 --> 01:52:09.159
do because someday I'll get all you something like that,

1272
01:52:10.159 --> 01:52:12.039
and then there's another bit that's like the bridge, and

1273
01:52:12.039 --> 01:52:18.560
then there's a chorus do do do Do Do Do

1274
01:52:18.560 --> 01:52:26.399
Do Do Do do do do do do well. Yeah,

1275
01:52:26.920 --> 01:52:29.840
I can't remember what the Tuesday song was. It was

1276
01:52:29.840 --> 01:52:33.520
a twenty it was a I think it was the

1277
01:52:33.760 --> 01:52:38.800
eight hour Tuesday Song or eight hour Epic song, because

1278
01:52:38.800 --> 01:52:42.439
I spent eight hours recording it because what I used

1279
01:52:42.439 --> 01:52:46.359
to do is go around my cousins. And my cousin's

1280
01:52:46.439 --> 01:52:49.479
dad is kind of my uncle. He was a professional

1281
01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:53.079
musician in a band and he played the guitar and

1282
01:52:53.079 --> 01:52:56.800
he'd been doing it for decades. He had recording equipment

1283
01:52:57.199 --> 01:53:04.399
and everything music musical inst when it's keyboards, computers, eight

1284
01:53:04.520 --> 01:53:08.640
track or whatever you know, to record stuff. So we

1285
01:53:08.800 --> 01:53:13.479
recorded did ticket to write That was one of the

1286
01:53:13.479 --> 01:53:16.399
first things we ever did, which was a Beatles song,

1287
01:53:17.319 --> 01:53:21.479
and did the UB forty if you don't know Me

1288
01:53:21.560 --> 01:53:27.079
by now, if you don't know me by now, and

1289
01:53:27.359 --> 01:53:32.359
that came out quite nice. And then I did the

1290
01:53:32.560 --> 01:53:36.199
I Miss you went around there because I split up

1291
01:53:36.239 --> 01:53:38.279
with my girlfriend and I wanted to get back together

1292
01:53:38.319 --> 01:53:42.720
with for some reason. So I wrote that song. Oh.

1293
01:53:43.039 --> 01:53:47.079
The next one was called I wrote you the song. Okay,

1294
01:53:47.159 --> 01:53:49.520
so I wrote the song I Miss you, and then

1295
01:53:49.520 --> 01:53:54.319
I wrote a song about having written the song, which

1296
01:53:54.359 --> 01:53:56.960
is called I wrote your song. And it was like

1297
01:53:57.399 --> 01:54:02.359
I wrote you a song. It took quite a long time,

1298
01:54:03.279 --> 01:54:07.720
I pleaded to you, this is not it was some

1299
01:54:07.960 --> 01:54:10.640
better than this way, and all you did was look

1300
01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:14.720
out of the window and side. It took a long

1301
01:54:14.880 --> 01:54:20.159
time to write the e f in thing, but you didn't.

1302
01:54:20.560 --> 01:54:24.479
You just didn't care it all. And then this is

1303
01:54:24.479 --> 01:54:28.800
the chorus. Why did I bother? Why did I try?

1304
01:54:29.840 --> 01:54:35.920
Why did I even take the har him? Why did

1305
01:54:35.960 --> 01:54:42.000
I bother? Why did I try to write this song

1306
01:54:42.159 --> 01:54:47.199
for you? Because it didn't even play on your mind?

1307
01:54:47.520 --> 01:54:55.119
Or something like that. And and then I didn't have one.

1308
01:54:56.039 --> 01:55:03.159
I wonder, I wonder, wonder why you had to leave

1309
01:55:04.159 --> 01:55:08.520
and take my heart away from me. But don't you worry.

1310
01:55:08.760 --> 01:55:13.000
You never did because somewhere out you never do somewhere

1311
01:55:13.600 --> 01:55:18.960
in and a review, yeah, mind me. And there was

1312
01:55:19.000 --> 01:55:22.439
another one as well. I can't remember. So I think

1313
01:55:22.439 --> 01:55:30.640
I did four songs with music and you know, proper

1314
01:55:30.680 --> 01:55:36.239
microphones and stuff, and my cousin was embarrassed by them.

1315
01:55:36.439 --> 01:55:39.520
So I actually posted them on Facebook, probably about ten

1316
01:55:39.600 --> 01:55:44.079
years ago, and he said please take them off, because

1317
01:55:44.119 --> 01:55:46.680
he helped also produce them, because he was on the

1318
01:55:46.760 --> 01:55:51.039
keyboard and stuff. And I thought they were good. I

1319
01:55:51.079 --> 01:55:54.000
know that the quality was terrible because they were old,

1320
01:55:55.159 --> 01:56:01.039
ninety six ninety seven, some long time ago, fuzzy, that

1321
01:56:02.319 --> 01:56:07.319
they were saved on a tape, you know, like a

1322
01:56:07.359 --> 01:56:14.640
normal tape, not digital or anything. I just I guess

1323
01:56:14.680 --> 01:56:22.039
I just meant a lot to me, but that I

1324
01:56:22.079 --> 01:56:25.159
guess that was my poetry. That was me trying to

1325
01:56:25.199 --> 01:56:29.439
do poetry. And I loved singing. I loved I wanted

1326
01:56:29.439 --> 01:56:31.640
to be a singer. It's probably the thing I wanted

1327
01:56:31.720 --> 01:56:35.119
most of all of anything I've ever wanted to do,

1328
01:56:35.239 --> 01:56:42.039
probably was to be a singer. It's not going to

1329
01:56:42.079 --> 01:56:46.399
happen because I can't really sing anymore, but I used

1330
01:56:46.439 --> 01:56:52.039
to be able to sing quite well, and I kind

1331
01:56:52.039 --> 01:56:57.800
of wish I pursued it a little bit. I mean,

1332
01:56:57.880 --> 01:57:01.279
you know, I entered talent content. I never wanted talent

1333
01:57:01.359 --> 01:57:05.680
contest singing contest, but at the same time, I never

1334
01:57:05.720 --> 01:57:09.720
got kicked off, I never got booed. I guess I was.

1335
01:57:09.720 --> 01:57:12.800
Maybe I was mediocre. I was I could hold a

1336
01:57:12.800 --> 01:57:21.319
note and I was okay. You know, I think I

1337
01:57:21.960 --> 01:57:29.079
was better with songs that I wrote, because technically they

1338
01:57:29.079 --> 01:57:32.880
can't be out of key, really, if it's your own song.

1339
01:57:33.520 --> 01:57:36.199
If you listen to some Beatles songs, there's a few

1340
01:57:36.239 --> 01:57:39.079
that are a little bit off key, like a bit

1341
01:57:39.079 --> 01:57:41.880
of John Lennon singing, and it's kind of off a

1342
01:57:41.880 --> 01:57:46.479
little bit, but it doesn't matter because that's what makes

1343
01:57:46.560 --> 01:57:51.279
them so good. I'm not saying he was singing out

1344
01:57:51.279 --> 01:57:54.039
a key, but it was kind of I just didn't.

1345
01:57:54.079 --> 01:57:59.119
I your dodge will mess with a John Nennon. No,

1346
01:57:59.239 --> 01:57:59.920
it's something you know.

1347
01:58:00.079 --> 01:58:00.359
It was.

1348
01:58:02.119 --> 01:58:06.920
Recorded, and some of the earlier stuff was recorded quickly.

1349
01:58:07.039 --> 01:58:11.880
You can hear, it's almost live. It's recorded, and then

1350
01:58:11.279 --> 01:58:14.399
they rushed it out and sold it and you can hear,

1351
01:58:14.600 --> 01:58:18.239
and that's why it's so good, because it was not polished.

1352
01:58:18.359 --> 01:58:22.359
The early stuff wasn't polished like the later stuff. You know,

1353
01:58:22.439 --> 01:58:27.239
if you go to the later stuff, it was other

1354
01:58:27.319 --> 01:58:34.720
than Probably at the time, there wasn't many albums, many

1355
01:58:34.760 --> 01:58:40.439
groups putting that much effort into production quality as they

1356
01:58:40.439 --> 01:58:44.279
did with Sergeant Pepper or the last album they did.

1357
01:58:47.119 --> 01:58:50.079
How do they get talking about a Beatles, I don't know.

1358
01:58:51.720 --> 01:59:00.560
So yeah, I did quite like the idea of Ryan poems.

1359
01:59:00.760 --> 01:59:03.119
I did write really well. I thought it was a

1360
01:59:03.159 --> 01:59:10.319
really good poem once about my childhood, and I wrote

1361
01:59:10.319 --> 01:59:21.399
it probably early nineties. I got back into writing poetry

1362
01:59:21.399 --> 01:59:25.439
in ninety five. That kind of helped me get through

1363
01:59:25.439 --> 01:59:32.439
some stuff. Hm. But what I used to find is

1364
01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:35.760
I'd always end up going a little bit silly with

1365
01:59:35.840 --> 01:59:41.399
it and almost finding like a funny line here and there.

1366
01:59:43.319 --> 01:59:45.800
So I guess that's just part of me. And I

1367
01:59:45.840 --> 01:59:49.920
wasn't setting out to say a funny do a funny poem,

1368
01:59:50.359 --> 01:59:54.279
so it'd be kind of serious and then it'd be silly,

1369
01:59:54.520 --> 01:59:56.600
a little silly bit at the end or maybe in

1370
01:59:56.640 --> 02:00:01.760
the middle. And yeah, yeah, I quite like them. I

1371
02:00:01.760 --> 02:00:05.399
wish i'd kept them. If I'd have kept all my

1372
02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:10.359
poems i'd ever written, they might not be a lot,

1373
02:00:10.359 --> 02:00:14.520
but it's probably about fifty maybe one hundred, maybe more,

1374
02:00:14.600 --> 02:00:20.359
maybe much more than that, but you know, over the years,

1375
02:00:21.399 --> 02:00:31.760
oh well, oh well, never mind, y Yeah, I think

1376
02:00:31.800 --> 02:00:33.880
that's the end of the recording. I don't know how

1377
02:00:33.880 --> 02:00:40.479
long I've been talking for still light outside, not that

1378
02:00:40.479 --> 02:00:42.520
that really means too much, because it's light till about

1379
02:00:42.560 --> 02:00:47.119
ten o'clock. I think it's half part. It's five point

1380
02:00:47.119 --> 02:00:57.520
thirty five pm. So this does bring me to the

1381
02:00:57.720 --> 02:01:09.039
end of this recording. So thank you for listening. Thank you, Hope,

1382
02:01:09.439 --> 02:01:14.640
Temmy Ing, and Ali for your questions. I hope I've

1383
02:01:14.640 --> 02:01:21.399
answered them. I'm not sure if I have. I might

1384
02:01:21.439 --> 02:01:26.079
have slightly gone off track. It's possible it may have

1385
02:01:26.119 --> 02:01:30.119
happened once or twice before. So thank you for listening.

1386
02:01:30.520 --> 02:01:33.680
Remember to be kind to yourself, because you do deserve

1387
02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:37.960
to be happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve

1388
02:01:38.039 --> 02:01:50.560
to feel safe, lots of love. Bye.

1389
02:01:51.119 --> 02:01:57.399
Relax in the more deep.

1390
02:01:57.600 --> 02:02:08.600
And meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not

1391
02:02:08.800 --> 02:02:18.840
just allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the

1392
02:02:19.000 --> 02:02:28.039
time we've spend together here, not just relaxed at the

1393
02:02:28.159 --> 02:02:32.359
end of the recording when it's finished and you can

1394
02:02:32.479 --> 02:02:50.159
enjoy that sense of comfort and peace, but also I

1395
02:02:50.199 --> 02:02:56.640
think it would be nice to have those feelings of

1396
02:03:00.720 --> 02:03:18.079
relaxation continue for longer after the recording has ended, so

1397
02:03:18.119 --> 02:03:30.079
that you can still benefit from listening to my voice

1398
02:03:30.439 --> 02:03:41.920
maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then

1399
02:03:42.039 --> 02:03:50.039
by listening regularly, especially if you find like some people

1400
02:03:50.119 --> 02:03:53.680
do and myself as well. I sometimes I find one

1401
02:03:53.720 --> 02:04:04.079
particular recording that really resonates with me, and I just

1402
02:04:04.199 --> 02:04:09.840
listened to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

1403
02:04:17.520 --> 02:04:22.119
There was this recording from We're going back to about

1404
02:04:22.279 --> 02:04:27.520
nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a

1405
02:04:27.640 --> 02:04:37.079
guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I

1406
02:04:37.159 --> 02:04:40.479
managed to find it again and it still has the

1407
02:04:40.520 --> 02:04:49.720
same effect on me. And part of it was the

1408
02:04:49.840 --> 02:05:03.079
person's voice relaxed me just felt so peaceful, and I'd

1409
02:05:03.159 --> 02:05:10.359
look forward to listening to her in the morning and

1410
02:05:10.439 --> 02:05:21.520
in the evening. And I knew before even pressing the

1411
02:05:21.560 --> 02:05:30.079
play button that since I've done that pressed the play button.

1412
02:05:30.840 --> 02:05:41.840
This was in the days of CD players press the

1413
02:05:41.920 --> 02:05:47.239
play button. I fact, it might have even been a

1414
02:05:47.319 --> 02:05:51.840
tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed and

1415
02:05:51.920 --> 02:06:10.359
then even without necessary listening to her words because I

1416
02:06:10.479 --> 02:06:17.960
had them memorized. Really, it was as if my body

1417
02:06:19.840 --> 02:06:33.319
knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost

1418
02:06:33.359 --> 02:06:53.760
went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would

1419
02:06:53.840 --> 02:06:54.479
slow down.

1420
02:07:00.119 --> 02:07:00.479
Now.

1421
02:07:02.439 --> 02:07:09.159
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

1422
02:07:09.239 --> 02:07:17.079
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

1423
02:07:17.640 --> 02:07:24.960
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

1424
02:07:25.000 --> 02:07:27.680
doing that till two thousand and six.

1425
02:07:34.279 --> 02:07:34.800
I knew.

1426
02:07:38.680 --> 02:07:40.319
I knew how.

1427
02:07:41.680 --> 02:07:55.479
Helpful I found being able to just let go, to

1428
02:07:55.600 --> 02:08:08.760
have that trust in the person I'm listening to, knowing

1429
02:08:08.840 --> 02:08:16.680
that it's going to be just as relaxing, if not

1430
02:08:16.920 --> 02:08:26.239
more so. Each time you hear my voice, you may

1431
02:08:26.279 --> 02:08:26.960
feel the same.

1432
02:08:33.319 --> 02:08:34.680
Some people.

1433
02:08:36.720 --> 02:08:49.079
Have been listening to me for over a decade. Maybe

1434
02:08:49.159 --> 02:08:56.439
not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day, but

1435
02:08:56.720 --> 02:09:13.000
maybe people come back. People maybe listen every day. That's

1436
02:09:13.039 --> 02:09:21.960
something that I do which you may not realize by listening,

1437
02:09:26.520 --> 02:09:44.399
is when I record these recordings. Now, for example, I

1438
02:09:44.640 --> 02:09:57.439
also am affected by the words that I say. So

1439
02:09:57.600 --> 02:10:06.680
if I said to you, focus on your feet, notice

1440
02:10:06.800 --> 02:10:14.000
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1441
02:10:18.880 --> 02:10:36.279
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

1442
02:10:36.439 --> 02:10:44.079
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

1443
02:10:44.159 --> 02:10:54.399
each hand, Perhaps notice the the air in the room,

1444
02:10:54.920 --> 02:10:59.760
the temperature of the room, on the backs of your hands,

1445
02:11:07.560 --> 02:11:11.439
you may start to notice what almost feels like a

1446
02:11:11.600 --> 02:11:19.520
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1447
02:11:20.039 --> 02:11:30.760
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1448
02:11:33.119 --> 02:11:43.760
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1449
02:11:44.079 --> 02:12:12.279
aware of how relaxed my hands are feeling now, and

1450
02:12:12.439 --> 02:12:19.399
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1451
02:12:19.439 --> 02:12:32.640
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1452
02:12:35.840 --> 02:12:49.279
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1453
02:12:57.199 --> 02:13:09.800
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1454
02:13:14.680 --> 02:13:23.800
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when

1455
02:13:24.119 --> 02:13:33.199
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring

1456
02:13:35.119 --> 02:13:42.399
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1457
02:13:45.199 --> 02:13:52.399
Was this snoring was a pig turned up? That's why

1458
02:13:52.399 --> 02:14:00.000
I sound like when I snare and I get really

1459
02:14:00.319 --> 02:14:13.760
into the whole experience. I don't know how you feel.

1460
02:14:19.920 --> 02:14:26.520
How relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed

1461
02:14:30.319 --> 02:14:51.439
you feel in your hands. I have noticed more and

1462
02:14:51.640 --> 02:15:10.560
more that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

1463
02:15:14.159 --> 02:15:30.359
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

1464
02:15:33.479 --> 02:15:54.439
muscle relaxation. So this allows you to breathe easier without

1465
02:15:55.920 --> 02:16:12.399
necessarily folks sin on your breath, however, being able to

1466
02:16:16.079 --> 02:16:56.360
notice the ease in which you breathe so naturally, you

1467
02:16:56.520 --> 02:16:59.639
breathe so very easily.

1468
02:17:00.600 --> 02:17:02.360
And smoothly.

1469
02:17:30.040 --> 02:17:47.600
Whenever I imagine m my breathing improving. When I've got

1470
02:17:47.680 --> 02:18:03.200
my eyes closed, I tend to visual is a beautiful

1471
02:18:03.360 --> 02:18:20.440
field with trees and flowers producing all that life giving oxygen.

1472
02:18:40.680 --> 02:18:56.399
It feels nice two if nothing else, just taking some

1473
02:18:56.799 --> 02:19:39.520
time away from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity

1474
02:19:51.079 --> 02:20:23.319
with a joyful heart. Time seems to just drip by,

1475
02:20:27.840 --> 02:21:17.680
so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to

1476
02:21:18.559 --> 02:22:15.520
any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free, noticing that

1477
02:22:23.079 --> 02:23:09.680
your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because nothing really

1478
02:23:09.840 --> 02:23:40.440
requires your attention, you can enjoy the physical sensations of

1479
02:23:40.600 --> 02:23:53.079
allowing the stress to rip out of your body, to

1480
02:23:53.159 --> 02:24:17.879
appear out of every part of your body, being released

1481
02:24:23.120 --> 02:25:02.840
from your brain in your mind, slowly but surely, the

1482
02:25:03.079 --> 02:25:56.879
muscle sing les relax rex so very deeply, relax so deeply,

1483
02:26:14.680 --> 02:26:42.719
and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders,

1484
02:26:42.760 --> 02:27:07.239
deepening each part of your body further and deeper and deeper,

1485
02:27:21.799 --> 02:27:51.440
noticing the feelings in the back of your neck, the

1486
02:27:51.639 --> 02:28:36.920
feelings in your wrists, muscles, in front of your body,

1487
02:28:41.200 --> 02:29:24.680
I all say, feeling peaceful, deeply, there's a sense of

1488
02:29:24.920 --> 02:30:09.399
peace spreads through your fairy core. Even when you focus

1489
02:30:09.559 --> 02:30:53.040
on your mind, your mind becomes eve and slower, even deeper,

1490
02:31:08.200 --> 02:32:10.719
relax so very slow, his stomach, peace fall in your stomach.

1491
02:32:32.840 --> 02:32:33.520
You're back.

02:32:38.920 --> 02:33:07.760
Notice, Notice how relaxed you'd never feel in the hole

1493
02:33:08.120 --> 02:33:08.840
of your back.

1494
02:33:34.040 --> 02:33:35.200
You spy.

1495
02:33:38.959 --> 02:33:43.680
From your brain all the way down the middle of

1496
02:33:43.719 --> 02:33:55.440
your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day,

1497
02:34:06.440 --> 02:35:27.040
deep comfort, increasing deeply relaxed, uns reles, spreading those signals

1498
02:35:27.280 --> 02:35:36.000
down a spine or cord into air. Every part of

1499
02:35:36.120 --> 02:36:22.360
your body, your shins and your calf muscles were elbows.

02:44:45.079 --> 02:44:52.840
we can just focus on the different parts of your body,

1510
02:44:56.959 --> 02:45:49.000
just to notice.

Or may not have.

1516
02:49:51.879 --> 02:50:58.799
Noticed your mind drifted peaceful man, even more deeply in

1517
02:50:58.879 --> 02:52:34.680
the direction of total blissful pace, blisshul pace, terrefting out

1518
02:52:34.879 --> 02:53:57.440

1519
02:54:01.520 --> 02:55:00.719
body so relaxed, so relaxed. Your body feels almost visible,

1520
02:55:15.879 --> 02:56:30.600
so the very relaxed I'm peaceful, so peaceful, relax likes.

1521
02:56:36.319 --> 02:56:42.520
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1522
02:56:42.959 --> 02:56:54.200
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1523
02:56:55.120 --> 02:57:02.719
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1524
02:57:02.799 --> 02:57:12.000
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,

1525
02:57:16.879 --> 02:57:24.120
And that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1526
02:57:24.479 --> 02:57:37.040
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

1527
02:57:38.680 --> 02:57:49.680
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1528
02:57:49.760 --> 02:57:56.680
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1529
02:57:58.799 --> 02:58:06.360
take a break from your life as it is, and

1530
02:58:06.440 --> 02:58:14.200
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1531
02:58:14.280 --> 02:58:19.879
some time off, and to allow your body to relax

1532
02:58:21.559 --> 02:58:29.719
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1533
02:58:32.079 --> 02:58:37.159
releases the tension and it stresses that you had in

1534
02:58:37.200 --> 02:58:47.040
your body. It's almost as if the parts of your

1535
02:58:47.079 --> 02:58:59.079
body just open up, allowing the negativity out and at

1536
02:58:59.120 --> 02:59:07.399
the same time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy

1537
02:59:10.479 --> 02:59:15.120
which then fills your body up and your mind to

1538
02:59:16.719 --> 02:59:35.200
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

1539
02:59:35.200 --> 02:59:52.319
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through

1540
02:59:52.360 --> 03:00:03.799
your body like a wave of comfort, and all this comes,

1541
03:00:03.920 --> 03:00:15.920
and just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour,

1542
03:00:16.399 --> 03:00:21.559
however long you want it to be, to just rest.

1543
03:00:26.520 --> 03:00:27.600
And allow.

1544
03:00:29.680 --> 03:00:39.639
Your mind and your body to almost reset itself to

1545
03:00:39.799 --> 03:00:56.000
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

1546
03:00:56.159 --> 03:01:09.600
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

1547
03:01:09.799 --> 03:01:18.040
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

1548
03:01:18.159 --> 03:01:28.719
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each

1549
03:01:28.959 --> 03:01:44.520
other with that growing positivity and calmness, and it feels nice.

1550
03:01:44.680 --> 03:01:50.719
It really does feel nice to know that you are

1551
03:01:50.760 --> 03:02:00.920
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

1552
03:02:04.159 --> 03:02:07.120
and to experience.

1553
03:02:08.760 --> 03:02:10.040
More of this.

1554
03:02:11.680 --> 03:02:27.120
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1555
03:02:28.399 --> 03:02:34.399
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1556
03:02:34.399 --> 03:02:51.479
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1557
03:02:51.479 --> 03:03:01.120
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

1558
03:03:05.159 --> 03:03:10.959
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1559
03:03:13.639 --> 03:03:20.360
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1560
03:03:20.479 --> 03:03:28.159
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1561
03:03:28.200 --> 03:03:40.479
on or just automatically release any remain in tension in

1562
03:03:40.600 --> 03:03:54.879
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1563
03:03:54.879 --> 03:04:01.360
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

1564
03:04:01.520 --> 03:04:10.200
aware of the feelings of your forehead and any background

1565
03:04:10.399 --> 03:04:17.319
sounds like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you

1566
03:04:17.479 --> 03:04:24.959
to feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1567
03:04:28.079 --> 03:04:35.159
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1568
03:04:36.879 --> 03:04:42.920
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1569
03:04:43.440 --> 03:04:53.959
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1570
03:04:54.200 --> 03:05:04.239
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1571
03:05:04.280 --> 03:05:13.000
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1572
03:05:13.959 --> 03:05:23.639
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1573
03:05:24.719 --> 03:05:34.440
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1574
03:05:34.440 --> 03:05:40.920
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1575
03:05:41.159 --> 03:05:55.639
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1576
03:05:56.040 --> 03:06:02.719
your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of

1577
03:06:02.840 --> 03:06:13.159
your mouth, relaxing, calm.

1578
03:06:11.319 --> 03:06:17.680
And lease, as you focus.

1579
03:06:17.440 --> 03:06:25.000
Now on your jawl not just the parts of your

1580
03:06:25.079 --> 03:06:29.600
jaw near your mouth and your chin, but all the

1581
03:06:29.680 --> 03:06:34.120
way up the size of your face to your ears,

1582
03:06:36.280 --> 03:06:48.120
the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed.

1583
03:06:51.440 --> 03:07:00.000
And calm.

1584
03:07:00.360 --> 03:07:09.520
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

1585
03:07:09.559 --> 03:07:22.600
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of

1586
03:07:22.680 --> 03:07:28.000
your neck, the right and left side of your neck,

1587
03:07:30.920 --> 03:07:34.440
relax and loose.

1588
03:07:38.079 --> 03:07:41.719
And calm.

1589
03:07:45.239 --> 03:07:52.120
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

1590
03:07:52.159 --> 03:08:01.799
back of your neck, letting go oh of any tension

1591
03:08:02.559 --> 03:08:11.399
that may have been there before, and enjoying that sense

1592
03:08:11.600 --> 03:08:23.159
of increasing comfort and release that you can experience in

1593
03:08:23.280 --> 03:08:35.200
the back of your neck. Moving down your back and

1594
03:08:35.360 --> 03:08:40.440
moving either side of your spine right from the top of.

1595
03:08:40.399 --> 03:08:41.360
Your back.

1596
03:08:42.879 --> 03:08:46.559
All the way down to the bottom of your back,

1597
03:08:52.520 --> 03:09:03.879
down to your lower back, and as you move up

1598
03:09:03.920 --> 03:09:12.719
and down your spine, you can feel the muscles either

1599
03:09:12.840 --> 03:09:26.440
side of your spine relaxing even more. And as those

1600
03:09:26.559 --> 03:09:36.000
muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards

1601
03:09:37.559 --> 03:09:47.159
from your spine into both sides of your back, the

1602
03:09:47.239 --> 03:09:50.799
top of your back, the middle, and your lower back.

1603
03:09:54.280 --> 03:10:01.479
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down

1604
03:10:01.639 --> 03:10:06.719
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your

1605
03:10:06.799 --> 03:10:16.760
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

1606
03:10:16.760 --> 03:10:24.120
of your back also seem to just almost divide from

1607
03:10:24.159 --> 03:10:37.600
each other, separating and almost melting, And in your lower

1608
03:10:37.680 --> 03:10:49.239
back there seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort.

1609
03:10:54.479 --> 03:11:01.200
The spreads into your hips, so down your back, into

1610
03:11:01.239 --> 03:11:12.559
your hips, into the area where your cosis are, and

1611
03:11:12.680 --> 03:11:21.600
into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread from

1612
03:11:21.639 --> 03:11:22.760
your lower back.

1613
03:11:24.920 --> 03:11:26.000
Into your hip.

1614
03:11:25.799 --> 03:11:45.319
Area start to melt, start to really let go. I

1615
03:11:45.399 --> 03:11:50.360
don't even know where about. To focus on your shoulders.

1616
03:11:52.000 --> 03:11:59.159
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,

1617
03:12:02.079 --> 03:12:17.799
continue to relax so calmly, and as you focus on

1618
03:12:17.840 --> 03:12:30.799
your shoulders, you may notice that they're already feeling really loose,

1619
03:12:35.559 --> 03:13:01.479
They're already feeding calm, and they're feeling Those muscles then

1620
03:13:01.719 --> 03:13:14.159
move from your neck into your shoulders feel so soft

1621
03:13:17.399 --> 03:13:43.239
and gentle, so smooth and calm. The feeding in your

1622
03:13:43.360 --> 03:13:58.559
shoulders seens to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense

1623
03:13:58.600 --> 03:14:07.120
of relaxation and not just traveling deeply into your muscles,

1624
03:14:10.559 --> 03:14:23.479
but also relaxing the bones and moving all the way

1625
03:14:23.680 --> 03:14:32.440
to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area between the

1626
03:14:32.559 --> 03:14:36.920
tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms.

1627
03:14:41.120 --> 03:14:43.000
He Then.

1628
03:14:47.079 --> 03:14:47.799
You feel so.

1629
03:14:49.639 --> 03:15:03.760
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that deep

1630
03:15:04.559 --> 03:15:25.719
healing message into your arms. You may feel almost as

1631
03:15:25.760 --> 03:15:32.520
if your arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed,

1632
03:15:35.680 --> 03:16:23.479
so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose, not feeling spreading.

1633
03:16:25.639 --> 03:16:38.920
All the way down your arms, two elbows, including.

1634
03:16:39.159 --> 03:16:53.319
Your elbows circumfort spreads.

1635
03:16:56.799 --> 03:17:01.799
Or away in tor rests.

1636
03:17:04.120 --> 03:17:19.680
A forearments, and your rests so heavy yet at the

1637
03:17:19.719 --> 03:17:21.959
same time.

1638
03:17:29.200 --> 03:17:30.079
So light.

1639
03:17:33.040 --> 03:18:30.239
And gentle. Focus Now on your hands, my hands.

1640
03:18:35.959 --> 03:18:38.840
So peaceful.

1641
03:18:39.840 --> 03:19:17.479
In your hands. This is and sir, real peace. It

1642
03:19:17.639 --> 03:19:32.040
just seems to feel so familiar when your hands relax

1643
03:19:33.280 --> 03:20:02.159
deeply m feels the thing is.

1644
03:20:34.239 --> 03:20:35.799
You things.

1645
03:20:38.360 --> 03:21:41.920
Sadles, your finger tips, moving your attention to the front

1646
03:21:42.079 --> 03:22:13.159
of your body, so comfortable, move on your focus, your legs.

1647
03:23:31.760 --> 03:23:34.040
We muscles.

1648
03:23:35.120 --> 03:24:27.799
In your thighs, your knees, so relaxed, a calf muscles

1649
03:24:29.120 --> 03:25:24.680
and just shins, how puzzy, the.

1650
03:25:27.760 --> 03:26:54.840
Four and the faathing your feet, sir, peaceful, so calm,

1651
03:26:54.920 --> 03:27:55.760
so peaceful, sircom so peaceful, sycom so peace f.

1652
03:27:58.040 --> 03:28:04.680
N peace for.

1653
03:28:09.239 --> 03:28:24.319
Calm, allowing that deep relaxation to spread your chest, in

1654
03:28:24.440 --> 03:28:29.040
your stomach, so.

1655
03:28:38.280 --> 03:28:44.079
Letting go of everything.

1656
03:28:55.319 --> 03:29:01.360
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1657
03:29:01.399 --> 03:29:09.559
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1658
03:29:10.319 --> 03:29:16.799
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1659
03:29:16.840 --> 03:29:26.200
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

1660
03:29:26.479 --> 03:29:42.040
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the furvies you

1661
03:29:42.159 --> 03:29:48.319
walk down those steps, the deeper and more relaxed you feel.

1662
03:29:54.920 --> 03:34:29.559
So starting with number twenty twenty nineteen eighteen seventeen, sicksting.

1663
03:33:45.319 --> 03:36:36.239
Eight four four see too well.

1664
03:37:35.159 --> 03:38:46.520
Five five.

1665
03:39:51.559 --> 03:40:54.600
Nine height.

1666
03:41:54.159 --> 03:45:02.760
Seven six.

1667
03:44:47.079 --> 03:50:27.319
Five four four one.

1668
03:50:34.479 --> 03:50:51.520
And now as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna

1669
03:50:51.559 --> 03:51:03.040
count down from ten outs one. Focus in just on

1670
03:51:03.159 --> 03:51:10.360
your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles.

1671
03:51:09.840 --> 03:51:14.399
Around your eyes, your.

1672
03:51:14.200 --> 03:51:33.639
Eye walls themselves, a whole area that makes up your eye.

1673
03:51:34.120 --> 03:51:41.719
And as we count down from ten down to one.

1674
03:51:41.959 --> 03:51:54.959
Whilst focus in on your eyes. You'll become twice is

1675
03:51:55.120 --> 03:52:10.360
relaxed with each number counting down, and you may find

1676
03:52:11.120 --> 03:52:13.000
the all you want to do.

1677
03:52:13.120 --> 03:52:13.799
Is just.

1678
03:52:15.719 --> 03:52:22.920
Drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

1679
03:52:25.920 --> 03:52:39.000
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1680
03:52:39.040 --> 03:52:46.399
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1681
03:52:46.760 --> 03:55:00.440
down to one right now. Two nine eight seven u

1682
03:55:55.280 --> 04:02:14.399
s four five four three two one. So counting down

1683
04:02:14.440 --> 04:02:27.760
from ten to one ten nine eight seven six.

1684
04:02:29.639 --> 04:02:32.879
Five four.

1685
04:02:35.440 --> 04:02:40.840
Three two.

1686
04:02:41.520 --> 04:02:48.120
One.

1687
04:02:48.760 --> 04:02:51.680
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1688
04:02:51.719 --> 04:02:55.680
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1689
04:02:56.000 --> 04:03:05.719
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1690
04:03:05.719 --> 04:03:09.559
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from

1691
04:03:09.639 --> 04:03:12.440
ten to one. Would you expect me to do? Man,

1692
04:03:13.239 --> 04:03:16.959
expect me to stick go with floppy just because you're

1693
04:03:17.000 --> 04:03:26.399
counting down. If you try it again, but this time,

1694
04:03:26.479 --> 04:03:33.719
I go this lower this time, as you focus on

1695
04:03:33.760 --> 04:03:38.200
the whole of your body before we focus on your legs,

1696
04:03:40.520 --> 04:03:49.760
just notice how your body does start to feel more

1697
04:03:50.120 --> 04:04:15.520
relaxed with every number that I count down ten nine eight.

1698
04:04:20.559 --> 04:04:30.840
Seven six.

1699
04:04:38.799 --> 04:04:50.239
Five four.

1700
04:04:57.200 --> 04:05:25.239
Three two.

1701
04:05:32.120 --> 04:05:43.120
One.

1702
04:05:43.719 --> 04:05:49.440
And just notice how how you feel generally how your

1703
04:05:49.440 --> 04:06:04.360
body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting down from

1704
04:06:04.399 --> 04:06:12.079
ten to one. It's that space that you have, that

1705
04:06:14.680 --> 04:06:35.600
space between being active physically or mentally to just sitting

1706
04:06:35.840 --> 04:06:40.680
or lying down, just being there, not doing anything, not

1707
04:06:40.920 --> 04:06:45.360
saying anything, not needing to think about anything.

1708
04:06:47.159 --> 04:06:48.760
So that opens up a.

1709
04:06:48.840 --> 04:06:53.120
Space, you know, a bit of a space, a gap.

1710
04:06:59.319 --> 04:07:02.879
And the more m I cam down from ten to one,

1711
04:07:04.000 --> 04:07:12.200
the bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

1712
04:07:13.520 --> 04:07:29.680
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

1713
04:07:30.760 --> 04:07:38.719
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them.

1714
04:07:40.280 --> 04:07:46.440
Away.

1715
04:07:47.440 --> 04:07:55.319
Allows you to just slow down.

1716
04:07:58.920 --> 04:08:01.920
Someone to count again from ten down to one, and

1717
04:08:02.040 --> 04:08:12.040
notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1718
04:08:12.079 --> 04:08:18.479
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the gap.

1719
04:08:31.920 --> 04:09:39.479
It gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

1720
04:09:57.680 --> 04:10:46.159
three two.

1721
04:10:32.959 --> 04:10:37.280
One.

1722
04:10:44.719 --> 04:10:46.040
And how did you look.

1723
04:10:47.879 --> 04:11:15.760
Body feel? Can you notice that you're feeling calmer? Do

1724
04:11:15.879 --> 04:11:17.000
you feeling.

1725
04:11:19.000 --> 04:11:20.280
More relaxed?

1726
04:11:42.719 --> 04:11:47.200
As we now focus on your legs, just your legs,

1727
04:12:03.079 --> 04:12:08.040
We're just going to start with focusing on your thighs.

1728
04:12:22.719 --> 04:12:27.079
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be doing,

1729
04:12:27.840 --> 04:12:34.239
because I'm sure, like most of your body is not

1730
04:12:34.280 --> 04:12:46.520
a lot going on right now, Just focusing on the

1731
04:12:46.600 --> 04:12:52.680
whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the

1732
04:12:52.959 --> 04:12:59.600
sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs you're

1733
04:12:59.639 --> 04:13:04.920
out of thighs, and your inner thighs, basically the whole

1734
04:13:04.959 --> 04:13:12.559
of your thigh that leads into your hip and it

1735
04:13:12.600 --> 04:13:23.360
goes down to your knee joint. Now, this is a

1736
04:13:23.360 --> 04:13:31.840
big area. It's a very heavy area. It's very strong,

1737
04:13:33.040 --> 04:13:38.440
probably the strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs.

1738
04:13:48.200 --> 04:13:54.479
But I don't think we perhaps will give enough attention

1739
04:13:55.879 --> 04:14:09.280
to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our

1740
04:14:09.479 --> 04:14:29.680
thighs are to our lives, how much they actually do

1741
04:14:29.840 --> 04:14:35.200
for us all through our lives.

1742
04:14:42.280 --> 04:14:45.040
And it may seem sound really weird, but.

1743
04:14:47.840 --> 04:14:54.120
I think that all of our body parts, especially our thighs,

1744
04:14:54.959 --> 04:15:13.040
need some TLC love, shown a bit of acknowledgment, thank you,

1745
04:15:16.040 --> 04:15:28.399
gratitude for what our thighs do for us. And I

1746
04:15:28.479 --> 04:15:34.239
know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think,

1747
04:15:34.600 --> 04:15:37.600
why am I, Surely I should be out in the

1748
04:15:37.639 --> 04:15:46.200
garden hugging a tree or something. Well, it's hard to

1749
04:15:46.200 --> 04:15:47.680
set a microphone.

1750
04:15:47.200 --> 04:15:48.000
Up on a tree.

1751
04:15:48.920 --> 04:15:51.120
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1752
04:15:51.200 --> 04:15:54.959
outside hugging a tree. Now I can't see the television

1753
04:15:55.000 --> 04:16:03.680
from the tree. If you move down to your knees

1754
04:16:05.479 --> 04:16:13.440
gain such an important part. And I think we don't

1755
04:16:13.520 --> 04:16:21.440
necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate

1756
04:16:23.159 --> 04:16:28.280
all that my knees do for me until I have

1757
04:16:28.360 --> 04:16:31.760
a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever

1758
04:16:33.319 --> 04:16:37.319
maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching for some reason.

1759
04:16:39.000 --> 04:16:45.239
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1760
04:16:45.319 --> 04:16:51.319
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1761
04:16:53.000 --> 04:17:00.440
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1762
04:17:00.479 --> 04:17:08.920
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1763
04:17:13.000 --> 04:17:17.639
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1764
04:17:17.680 --> 04:17:26.040
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude.

1765
04:17:26.719 --> 04:17:29.360
And love to your needs for all that they do

1766
04:17:29.479 --> 04:17:29.719
for you.

1767
04:17:40.159 --> 04:17:43.440
And you can still have that attention on your thighs

1768
04:17:43.959 --> 04:17:52.079
and maybe notice how your thighs feel, maybe noticed that they.

1769
04:17:51.719 --> 04:17:55.239
Are relaxing.

1770
04:17:57.079 --> 04:18:00.000
More deeply.

1771
04:18:06.280 --> 04:18:10.879
As you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

1772
04:18:11.239 --> 04:18:17.079
your shins, and your calf muscles, the bones between your

1773
04:18:17.959 --> 04:18:25.920
knees and your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles

1774
04:18:25.959 --> 04:18:35.440
so important. You know, anyone that's had even like the

1775
04:18:35.479 --> 04:18:42.360
slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how much we

1776
04:18:42.440 --> 04:18:52.719
take our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange

1777
04:18:52.760 --> 04:18:57.600
in a way when you think that. You know, logically,

1778
04:18:57.920 --> 04:19:01.000
our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of

1779
04:19:01.040 --> 04:19:05.879
our arms, which is okay, it doesn't can't see any

1780
04:19:05.920 --> 04:19:10.879
problem with that because we're just picking stuff up. But

1781
04:19:11.000 --> 04:19:21.239
our ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs,

1782
04:19:23.440 --> 04:19:24.120
and from.

1783
04:19:23.879 --> 04:19:27.559
A physics perspective or logical.

1784
04:19:27.159 --> 04:19:31.319
Even it doesn't really make sense that all this weight

1785
04:19:32.959 --> 04:19:39.959
would ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to

1786
04:19:40.000 --> 04:19:53.319
your feet that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does

1787
04:19:53.399 --> 04:20:00.239
so much great work. Supports us, supports our body for

1788
04:20:00.280 --> 04:20:14.639
a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps you to

1789
04:20:14.639 --> 04:20:23.920
get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1790
04:20:23.959 --> 04:20:31.600
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1791
04:20:31.639 --> 04:20:36.760
point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything, Okay,

1792
04:20:37.799 --> 04:20:41.360
If I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

1793
04:20:41.399 --> 04:20:42.040
get some work.

1794
04:20:43.440 --> 04:20:44.760
But of course that's not true.

1795
04:20:44.879 --> 04:20:49.040
The calf muscles are being used whenever we use her

1796
04:20:49.120 --> 04:21:02.920
legs and your shins there to protect your lower legs,

1797
04:21:07.239 --> 04:21:14.920
shaped in a way almost as a protector for the bone,

1798
04:21:20.000 --> 04:21:23.680
leading of course to your ankles.

1799
04:21:26.479 --> 04:21:33.120
And your feet. But we're not going to focus on

1800
04:21:33.159 --> 04:21:35.360
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.

1801
04:21:37.200 --> 04:21:38.639
And I realize.

1802
04:21:40.079 --> 04:21:44.000
That now that I've mentioned your feet, it probably focuses

1803
04:21:44.239 --> 04:21:47.920
on them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your feet.

1804
04:21:47.680 --> 04:21:48.200
A little bit.

1805
04:21:52.200 --> 04:21:56.680
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1806
04:21:56.719 --> 04:21:59.440
you have your thighs.

1807
04:21:58.799 --> 04:22:01.159
In your awareness. Even though we.

1808
04:22:01.200 --> 04:22:05.200
Haven't been focusing on your thighs for a few minutes,

1809
04:22:06.920 --> 04:22:17.799
I've been focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation

1810
04:22:18.040 --> 04:22:32.200
of comfort in your thighs and this that movement.

1811
04:22:33.319 --> 04:22:34.440
Of energy.

1812
04:22:36.120 --> 04:22:43.159
Because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1813
04:22:43.200 --> 04:22:48.000
there's the muscles, the big strong muscles that we have

1814
04:22:48.159 --> 04:23:01.559
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1815
04:23:01.600 --> 04:23:06.920
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1816
04:23:07.719 --> 04:23:19.280
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1817
04:23:25.840 --> 04:23:33.360
and inside your thighs, the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1818
04:23:33.399 --> 04:23:38.559
the blood, vessels, the arch trees, all this stuff that's

1819
04:23:38.760 --> 04:23:47.600
inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice if

1820
04:23:47.600 --> 04:23:52.479
you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs and

1821
04:23:52.520 --> 04:23:58.399
a message, so you can message on the outside, of course,

1822
04:23:59.120 --> 04:24:01.479
but if be able to get deep into the muscles

1823
04:24:02.319 --> 04:24:06.399
and to be able to just massage inside your thighs,

1824
04:24:07.120 --> 04:24:10.200
message in the bones of your leg.

1825
04:24:12.159 --> 04:24:12.840
Massage in.

1826
04:24:15.399 --> 04:24:25.959
All the veins and just gently healing your thighs, and

1827
04:24:26.120 --> 04:24:32.719
you could move down message and inside your knees, just

1828
04:24:32.879 --> 04:24:39.559
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

1829
04:24:40.000 --> 04:24:45.399
healing energy deep into the choints of your knees.

1830
04:24:50.719 --> 04:24:52.360
Of course, there's the back of.

1831
04:24:52.360 --> 04:24:57.280
Your your knee, you know, the inside crease where your

1832
04:24:57.399 --> 04:25:04.959
knee is. It's a really sensitive area. Very it feels

1833
04:25:05.040 --> 04:25:09.079
very nice when you stroke it. That might be because

1834
04:25:09.879 --> 04:25:14.879
it's an area that's not really touched very often. It's

1835
04:25:15.040 --> 04:25:19.079
almost like a hidden part, that crease.

1836
04:25:20.840 --> 04:25:25.399
In your legs. It's almost like a part that.

1837
04:25:27.079 --> 04:25:38.360
Has a sensitivity which is a little bit different. Of course,

1838
04:25:38.399 --> 04:25:48.920
it's protected by your legs, so you can imagine putting

1839
04:25:49.760 --> 04:25:59.440
your fingers into that crease in your legs, that fold

1840
04:25:59.559 --> 04:26:05.200
in between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

1841
04:26:04.959 --> 04:26:13.639
At your fingertips going inside, message in the muscle tissue.

1842
04:26:16.239 --> 04:26:19.399
You can of course field the.

1843
04:26:18.520 --> 04:26:31.360
The bones of your knees, healing through your fingertips, and

1844
04:26:31.399 --> 04:26:37.000
then as you go down to your calf muscles, and

1845
04:26:37.159 --> 04:26:39.920
that's the part I'd like to be able to really

1846
04:26:40.719 --> 04:26:47.040
put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, message in

1847
04:26:47.440 --> 04:27:02.120
every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part. And

1848
04:27:02.159 --> 04:27:09.399
then doing the same for my shins, massage in gently

1849
04:27:09.559 --> 04:27:16.719
stroking the bones, gently stroking them, hearing in a loving way,

1850
04:27:18.000 --> 04:27:24.399
because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones

1851
04:27:24.440 --> 04:27:29.120
that they are, Because our legs are so precious as

1852
04:27:29.159 --> 04:27:34.559
in all the other parts of our body.

1853
04:27:33.520 --> 04:27:36.000
The more precious of anyture.

1854
04:27:37.959 --> 04:27:38.719
On the planet.

1855
04:27:47.079 --> 04:27:50.760
When when you start to think about.

1856
04:27:53.799 --> 04:28:05.520
Your legs in this way, change your perspective, it.

1857
04:28:05.559 --> 04:28:06.719
Might sound a bit.

1858
04:28:09.559 --> 04:28:13.879
A bit silly to start with the idea of having

1859
04:28:14.760 --> 04:28:24.719
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1860
04:28:24.879 --> 04:28:28.879
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1861
04:28:30.760 --> 04:28:33.799
the massage the muscles.

1862
04:28:34.120 --> 04:28:35.520
And the bones.

1863
04:28:36.719 --> 04:28:42.440
And to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1864
04:28:45.319 --> 04:28:46.639
just to show.

1865
04:28:47.879 --> 04:28:49.239
How much you care.

1866
04:28:52.280 --> 04:28:57.440
About your legs, how much you care for what your

1867
04:28:57.520 --> 04:29:07.239
legs do for you regularly, your knees, your cars, your ankles.

1868
04:29:11.479 --> 04:29:19.319
The strength of your ankles considering how thin they are

1869
04:29:19.360 --> 04:29:27.079
compared to the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah,

1870
04:29:27.159 --> 04:29:37.200
they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things.

1871
04:29:38.399 --> 04:29:45.319
Your ankles are truly a gift.

1872
04:29:47.239 --> 04:29:56.360
Because of what they do for you, supporting all that weight,

1873
04:29:58.360 --> 04:30:02.760
regardless of how what weight you are, even if you

1874
04:30:02.879 --> 04:30:07.959
only ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for

1875
04:30:08.040 --> 04:30:15.520
these little ankles. Now, I'm a lot heavier than eat stone.

1876
04:30:16.760 --> 04:30:25.959
Double down, Yet my ankles support my body all the time.

1877
04:30:29.639 --> 04:30:32.680
Whether they do give off a sigh of relief when

1878
04:30:32.680 --> 04:30:33.239
I sit.

1879
04:30:33.120 --> 04:30:37.799
Down, I've got my whole legs do.

1880
04:30:41.440 --> 04:30:46.920
My feet feet also go? My toes clap.

1881
04:30:48.079 --> 04:31:00.079
I'm so happy.

1882
04:31:08.600 --> 04:31:10.159
Your legs.

1883
04:31:11.159 --> 04:31:13.760
Really are amazing.

1884
04:31:16.360 --> 04:31:20.040
And I know there talking about talking about your legs

1885
04:31:20.159 --> 04:31:21.079
is probably.

1886
04:31:23.159 --> 04:31:27.000
Possibly it's among the most most boring things you've ever

1887
04:31:27.600 --> 04:31:35.920
heard anyone say. Possibly you're boring or not. Everything I

1888
04:31:36.040 --> 04:31:51.959
said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve

1889
04:31:53.000 --> 04:32:01.920
not just respect. They deserve to relax.

1890
04:32:03.200 --> 04:32:03.600
Deeply.

1891
04:32:10.879 --> 04:32:14.239
They deserve to take some time out of the day

1892
04:32:16.440 --> 04:32:38.000
to just let go completely. The legs.

1893
04:32:42.639 --> 04:32:45.200
Really can relax.

1894
04:32:52.799 --> 04:32:56.959
And because the legs are so such a most you know,

1895
04:32:57.159 --> 04:33:03.360
very important part of body, and you relax relegs, the

1896
04:33:03.360 --> 04:33:09.240
rest of your body also naturally follows.

1897
04:33:09.880 --> 04:33:10.520
In that.

1898
04:33:14.159 --> 04:33:25.080
Journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1899
04:33:26.400 --> 04:33:33.520
My hips feel really loose, and also my lwer back

1900
04:33:33.560 --> 04:33:40.200
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1901
04:33:41.279 --> 04:33:44.360
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1902
04:33:44.439 --> 04:33:46.000
no stretching.

1903
04:33:48.080 --> 04:33:50.880
As far as I'm aware that I'm doing, but it's

1904
04:33:50.919 --> 04:33:51.639
almost as if.

1905
04:33:51.599 --> 04:33:55.560
The muscles are just relaxed so much that there is

1906
04:33:55.639 --> 04:34:04.159
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1907
04:34:20.479 --> 04:34:23.560
And I'm now going to count down from ten down

1908
04:34:23.639 --> 04:34:35.599
to one, and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed.

1909
04:34:38.759 --> 04:34:54.680
Ten nine, eight, seven, six.

1910
04:34:57.400 --> 04:34:58.040
Five.

1911
04:35:02.360 --> 04:35:15.080
Four three twoe what.

1912
04:35:21.279 --> 04:35:21.919
Relax?

1913
04:35:29.799 --> 04:35:33.599
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1914
04:35:33.639 --> 04:35:38.119
to one. And as a countdown, if you just focus

1915
04:35:38.200 --> 04:35:46.159
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1916
04:35:47.000 --> 04:35:49.599
how you feel.

1917
04:35:51.720 --> 04:35:53.000
In this moment.

1918
04:35:54.319 --> 04:36:00.000
As you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers.

1919
04:36:01.880 --> 04:36:04.400
Counting down represents you.

1920
04:36:06.119 --> 04:36:16.119
Feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also relaxing

1921
04:36:16.200 --> 04:36:22.720
your mind. I just notice how you feel there's nothing

1922
04:36:23.439 --> 04:36:28.759
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about,

1923
04:36:31.799 --> 04:37:20.880
starting with number five, four, three two one. As you

1924
04:37:21.040 --> 04:37:33.799
notice the gradual letting go the tension in your body,

1925
04:37:37.360 --> 04:37:40.560
you may also begin to notice and be.

1926
04:37:40.639 --> 04:37:44.840
Aware of how your mind.

1927
04:37:45.240 --> 04:37:53.240
Is starting to slow down. This is just a natural

1928
04:37:54.000 --> 04:38:00.479
thing that happens. It's not really a special person eager.

1929
04:38:01.759 --> 04:38:06.959
It's just natural. Because is your body relaxes, your mind

1930
04:38:07.040 --> 04:38:12.840
also starts to relax. And the more your mind relaxes,

1931
04:38:12.919 --> 04:38:17.560
the more your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle

1932
04:38:17.639 --> 04:38:31.560
of relaxation. And there's that calmness that comes from relative quietness.

1933
04:38:32.919 --> 04:38:37.880
You know, even even if there's background sounds either your

1934
04:38:38.000 --> 04:38:41.599
side online is still.

1935
04:38:41.680 --> 04:38:45.520
Going to be quite calm.

1936
04:38:46.240 --> 04:38:48.880
You know, you haven't got the television on, there's no

1937
04:38:49.200 --> 04:38:53.400
music in the background, unless you're listening to the recorded

1938
04:38:53.439 --> 04:39:00.919
with music. Of course, you're very likely not going to

1939
04:39:00.919 --> 04:39:04.040
be sitting in a room with other people. Of course

1940
04:39:04.080 --> 04:39:08.599
you might be, but generally it's more ideal if you

1941
04:39:08.639 --> 04:39:19.639
can do this on your own so no distractions, and

1942
04:39:19.680 --> 04:39:34.880
when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises, a

1943
04:39:35.000 --> 04:39:45.720
sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying to

1944
04:39:45.799 --> 04:39:56.720
build it up into something fantastical or something magical, this

1945
04:39:56.880 --> 04:40:04.240
is just a natural process, something that's easy.

1946
04:40:06.159 --> 04:40:09.080
To accomplish.

1947
04:40:09.639 --> 04:40:17.040
In fact, it's almost the sense of relaxing completely happens

1948
04:40:17.159 --> 04:40:20.720
really when you put no effort into it.

1949
04:40:21.599 --> 04:40:24.080
It's not something that you can really force.

1950
04:40:26.680 --> 04:40:36.400
It's something that happens naturally. And part of the process

1951
04:40:36.439 --> 04:40:41.319
of this recording and others.

1952
04:40:42.479 --> 04:40:48.119
Is simply two allow you.

1953
04:40:50.040 --> 04:41:00.919
To take advantage of this space, this time, to just

1954
04:41:05.080 --> 04:41:15.840
let go, to just be here, to be in tune

1955
04:41:16.319 --> 04:41:28.439
with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting

1956
04:41:28.720 --> 04:41:40.840
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

1957
04:41:41.080 --> 04:41:47.319
on what it is that you wish for yourself in

1958
04:41:47.400 --> 04:42:03.599
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of

1959
04:42:03.680 --> 04:42:08.479
the process of fallen asleep. The actual falling asleep part

1960
04:42:08.520 --> 04:42:16.720
is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed

1961
04:42:17.080 --> 04:42:38.599
you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. But you

1962
04:42:38.680 --> 04:42:47.119
can also if you choose stay focused on my voice

1963
04:42:47.479 --> 04:43:09.560
and really enjoy the process gradually relaxing.

1964
04:43:13.119 --> 04:43:14.680
Each muscle.

1965
04:43:18.880 --> 04:43:41.159
In your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation.

1966
04:43:45.560 --> 04:43:46.959
Of letting go.

1967
04:43:53.080 --> 04:43:53.880
Completely.

1968
04:43:59.799 --> 04:44:08.159
This time, I'm gonna count from six down to one,

1969
04:44:08.759 --> 04:44:13.680
and you can notice your mind.

1970
04:44:14.680 --> 04:44:19.560
Calming down more with each number.

1971
04:44:21.279 --> 04:44:32.680

04:44:32.799 --> 04:44:38.279
Slow, beeaceful?

Being aware? How you mind the slot.

1976
04:47:40.639 --> 04:48:07.119
Write down, sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus

1977
04:48:07.240 --> 04:48:17.599
on your mind, you may notice that there's some thoughts

1978
04:48:17.639 --> 04:48:26.520
