Chamber of Commerce. So I would like to bring as

51
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.159
our guest today, mister Chas Scott.

52
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.000
Oh, thank you so much for that warm introduction. I

53
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.479
appreciate being invited and I'm excited for today's discussion. Thank you, doctor.

54
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.720
Well, you know what, thank you for being here. And

55
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:24.319
I normally start off by reading everybody's standard bio, but

56
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.639
then I like to ask one question, and that is

57
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.240
I just want you to tell us what you want

58
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.279
us to know about Chas Scott.

59
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.920
That's a great place to start. Well, you said my

60
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.639
bio a little bit there, But you know, I went

61
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:49.079
to Hampton University and I studied computer science cybersecurity for

62
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.959
my masters and it was right right around that time

63
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.839
where I had just graduated, sort of trying to find

64
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.839
my way and find my first job and climb the

65
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.800
ranks within the organization as well as build a nonprofit

66
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.639
at the same time. And there was a moment where

67
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:14.040
I started to basically burn out and there was a

68
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.879
process of self discovery that I really had to go

69
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.800
on to really understand what this term success was, what

70
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.680
this term happiness was, what this term fulfillment was. And

71
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.040
it really sent me on a journey to read every

72
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:36.439
book I could on personal development, psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, anything

73
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.720
that can enhance the quality of your life. I went

74
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.360
on a journey to read it because interesting enough, when

75
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.639
I graduated, I had the job I wanted, I had

76
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.079
the condo I wanted looking over the Potomac, I had

77
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.000
the BMW that I wanted, nice red leather interior. But

78
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.240
I was waking up with anxiety. I was waking up

79
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.600
depress and I was waking up stressed before the day

80
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.240
even started. And it caused me to reflect on what

81
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.959
it really means to live a happy and healthy life

82
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.680
and what I determined over these many many years. This

83
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.759
was back in twenty seventeen, and mind you, I had

84
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.759
an hour and a half long commute, falling, falling asleep

85
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.279
at the wheel, and I just felt like the job

86
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.839
wasn't fulfilling, it was just paying the bills. And what

87
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:33.759
I determined throughout this journey was success is not something

88
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:39.600
that you chase. It ensues as a byproduct of well being. Now,

89
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.360
what do I mean by that hustle culture. Our society

90
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.360
has taught us that we're supposed to hustle and race

91
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:52.560
and achieve. And you know this in our society, especially

92
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.319
here in America, we're consistently seeing higher rates of burnout,

93
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:04.040
particularly within the communities of people of color, first generational professionals.

94
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.199
Anybody who's ever been taught that you have to work

95
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.000
ten times harder than everybody else in the room's burning out.

96
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.199
And this process of discovery, I realized that there are

97
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.319
simple practices that you need to do daily to fill

98
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.319
up your cup, to fill up your well being so

99
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.800
that you can have the focus that you want, so

100
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.319
you can have the patients that you employees, so that

101
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.079
you can show up as your authentic self and have

102
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:29.560
well being.

103
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.680
Wow, you know, it's interesting you say that because when

104
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.040
I was working before I retired, well, when I did retire,

105
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.399
I believe it or not. I because I was always

106
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.519
at my desk six am every morning, six o'clock. You

107
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.839
could set your watch by it. So when I retired,

108
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.879
but I slept all just about maybe I would get

109
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.240
up like two o'clock in a day because and like

110
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.399
you say, and I think it was because I was

111
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.000
so burnt out. And finally I did that probably for

112
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.839
a whole month. And then for me, I just thought

113
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.120
to myself, Okay, you got to get a grip now,

114
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.319
and you can't just keep doing this. So I just

115
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.639
snapped out of that. But I realized that I needed

116
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.199
that rest because I was just you know, everything was

117
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.720
just I just didn't want to think about anything. And

118
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.959
I had that opportunity for that length of time just

119
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.000
to do that, just to not focus, not think about anything.

120
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.279
I didn't really want to talk to anybody. I didn't

121
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.559
want to associate with anybody. I just you know, But

122
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.159
that I think, and that's what I think. It came

123
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.440
from being burnt out from all every day, you know,

124
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.720
the having to be there and do what I needed

125
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.000
to do, and like you say, the perform the high

126
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.559
achieving stuff. And I know we're going to get into that,

127
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.440
but when you have to do that for every day

128
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:01.879
for so many years. It actually, I really believes it

129
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.919
takes a toll. Look, it really does.

130
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.559
Yeah, and I'm glad that you bring that up, because

131
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.720
oftentimes we don't even realize that we're burnt out. You know,

132
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.600
it's kind of like this this this you can you

133
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.519
could either feel it psychologically a lack of fulfillment or

134
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.840
just a lack of energy. And many times we're just

135
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.600
caught in the rat race and the hustle culture and

136
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:29.200
we're not even realizing feeling the best, and we get

137
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.559
stuck and and and oftentimes that becomes our life until

138
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.399
something changes. And that's what happened to me.

139
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:42.440
Absolutely. I mean that is so so true, and it's

140
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.679
just unfortunate to think about. There's still a lot of

141
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.600
people out there that's still going through that cycle. They

142
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.559
just haven't you know, readjusted yet. They haven't realized, Okay,

143
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.519
why am I getting up every morning? Like you say,

144
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.320
you know, with the anxiety and the depression. They don't

145
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.799
realize probably what is what's even causing it, what it is,

146
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.320
because think about everything that you just you mentioned that

147
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.480
you had you know, every you know, person looking at

148
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.399
you would say, well, he has no reason to be depressed,

149
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:19.080
he shouldn't have anxiety. He's got you know, you know

150
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.919
what they say, he's got it all pretty much. But

151
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.759
you know, for you, yes, the material things, but it's more.

152
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.480
It's it's always more than that. And that's why I

153
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.200
always say when you talk about success, success truly means

154
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.000
different things to different people. It really does. It's all

155
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.960
in how you define it and what it means to you.

156
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.159
So yeah, one hundred percent spot on. And I think

157
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.039
you mentioned it in my bio, which is, you know,

158
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.279
I'm on a mission to help people build a life

159
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.360
that feels as good as it looks, not just looks good,

160
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.799
but feels good. You should feel excited waking up going

161
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.840
into work. You should be You should feel like you

162
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.919
have the resources to overcome adversities in your life. And

163
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.519
even though you know you may be stressed, you should

164
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.960
feel like you have tools to fall back on so

165
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.159
that you can maintain your equilibrium and make good decisions.

166
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.200
And you know, this stuff is not taught. You have

167
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.879
to either go seek it or you go burn out

168
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:19.159
and then go find it.

169
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.840
Find it absolutely, so tell me this. I know in

170
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:28.000
your book you emphasize in your book that's entire titled

171
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:35.759
Success Starts Within, you emphasize internal alignment over external validation.

172
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.799
So what are some subtle ways that high achieving individuals

173
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.879
maybe you think outsourcing their worth without even realizing it.

174
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.039
That's a good question, and I can sort of follow

175
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.600
up with my own journey. You know, it's very interesting

176
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:58.120
and it very It happens very subtly here in our society,

177
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.600
but when when, especially with social media, we're constantly comparing

178
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.000
ourselves to people. But it's interesting we always think that

179
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:12.960
an external material thing is going to make us feel good. Okay, Now,

180
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:15.679
I don't think there's anything wrong with saying I want

181
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.919
that certain house, I want that certain car, I want

182
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:22.240
that certain job. There's certainly something to be said about

183
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.159
setting a goal and going after and achieving it. But

184
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.639
what's really important is making sure that you're filling up

185
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:34.279
your cup continuously. I talked about a little bit, what's

186
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.919
the point of working so hard climbing up this mountain,

187
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.679
trying to achieve something. You get to the peak of

188
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.360
the mountain, not only have you been climbing the wrong mountain,

189
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.320
which you haven't been enjoying the journey. And I think

190
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.799
for many of us in our careers, whether you're a

191
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:58.399
business owner or you're a professional, we're constantly climbing mountains

192
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.600
and in our alignment is really important. What is your purpose,

193
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.120
what is your why? I'm sure many of the listeners

194
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.039
are really you know, high achievers. There's been many times

195
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.879
where you've probably achieved a goal and then after you

196
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.799
achieve the goal, you're like, that's it, and you're like, man,

197
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.399
I guess what else is next? So that's the purpose

198
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.799
of having sort of a north star or why. So

199
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.200
you know, after you publish a book, after you get

200
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.320
that promotion, after you do a ted X talk, what's

201
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.679
going to happen after that? Like what is your overall

202
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.240
mission and goal? And for me is to help high

203
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:37.639
achievers reclaim their energy purpose alignment to rise out of burnout. Now,

204
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.840
there are tools associated to allowing me to do that,

205
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.679
but those tools are not the end goal. The end

206
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.399
goal is a higher purpose, a higher why. So inter

207
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.799
alignment of why you're here on this earth is really

208
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:55.440
important and sitting down and really discovering yourself. And then

209
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.840
on top of that, I touched about a little bit

210
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:01.679
on my story, is that time in twenty seventeen when

211
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.039
I was waking up with anxiety and feeling stressed before

212
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.360
the day started, I realized that is the worst way

213
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:12.320
to start your day because it carries you throughout the

214
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.240
latter day. So I had to stop and sit with

215
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.120
myself and say, yes, if you're not enjoying your life,

216
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.080
you don't feel like you have the energy of the fulfillment.

217
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.799
Something needs to change. And when I was reading all

218
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.559
of these books and trying to find all these practices

219
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.399
to enhance my quality of life, I realized there was

220
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:32.759
a single thread through all these successful entrepreneurs, these athletes,

221
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.200
which was some type of morning routine. And when I

222
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.320
talk about inter alignment as opposed to external validation, no

223
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.960
matter what happened yesterday, no matter what I'm fearing in

224
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.519
the future, if I have something that grounds me daily,

225
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:52.720
it begins to sort of foster inter alignment and grounding

226
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.759
for yourself because our minds are constantly worrying about the future,

227
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.679
regretting the past. If you don't have something that sort

228
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.480
of grounds you daily, in my case, it's a twenty

229
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.159
minute meditation. I don't leave the house until I do

230
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.960
a twenty minute meditation in the morning, or something to

231
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.840
move your body to decrease the quarters all that stress hormone,

232
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.559
or maybe do it listening to a podcast that sort

233
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.519
of gives you sort of the energy or the motivation

234
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.919
that you need heading to your day. These are simple

235
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.039
practices to create inner alignment so you can feel good

236
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:29.759
but also look good.

237
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.919
Absolutely absolutely, I know that's right, and that pretty much

238
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.519
I do the same thing. It's one of those things

239
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.600
where I get up in the morning I have now

240
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.840
I do get up, get up early again, but I

241
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.720
do that now because I want to do it. It's

242
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.919
not like, you know, an obligation because I have to

243
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.600
be but I do it because I start my morning

244
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.200
at least around five point fifteen, not lated on five

245
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.000
point thirty, and I get my worship in. I listen

246
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.519
in to my gospels, whatever you know on TV, or

247
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.360
just listen to the music. But then I go to

248
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:13.960
eight o'clock workout class and then from there I can

249
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.879
start when I leave there and get home after that,

250
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.440
then I can start my daily routine as far as

251
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.519
the business goes and what I need to do, because

252
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.080
at that point I've got my head together and like

253
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.200
you say, by body, get that together. And so you know,

254
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.279
I think you have to do those things for yourself.

255
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.919
And you know, I get people sometimes ask me, well,

256
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.759
how do you you know, stay in the way you

257
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.440
do by yourself. I said, because sometimes you need that time,

258
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.960
that quiet time too, so you could even get your

259
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.360
thoughts together to get you know, for the clarity and

260
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.600
like you say, the alignment, just so that you can

261
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.240
understand what's going on with you sometimes and then you

262
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:58.600
could deal with what's on the outside. And that's just

263
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.720
needed to me, That's just something you need to do

264
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.360
one hundred percent.

265
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.200
If I could just add something, because I love that

266
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:08.200
you talked about sort of your routine. You know. In

267
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.519
twenty seventeen, when I had the job, I was trying

268
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.400
to build a nonprofit. We were doing mental wellness workshops

269
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.279
for youth and DC and Baltimore, and I was trying

270
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.640
to climb the rinks in the government space and cyber defense.

271
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.759
It was so interesting when I started focusing on myself right,

272
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:29.200
creating a small morning routine, going to the gym, creating

273
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:35.480
that inter alignment, that same job got better. Nothing changed externally,

274
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.400
but something changed internally. I had more energy, it was

275
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.519
easier to write emails. I felt focused. I felt like

276
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.880
I was energized heading into meetings as opposed to feeling depleted.

277
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.359
I brought the energy with me because I created that

278
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.519
inter alignment. And I think for many of us we

279
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.960
wait or we think that something externally is going to

280
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.000
influence us, as opposed toocusing internally. So you knows inner

281
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.880
success inter alignment, those simple habits and well being practices

282
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.640
really can elevate your entire quality of life. And I'm

283
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.799
not I'm not certainly not here to say that your

284
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:15.759
entire life was going to be perfect. You and I

285
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:20.200
both know that. But but but the simple point here

286
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:26.799
is when you have these practices, adversities don't become these big,

287
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.880
huge mountains. They get easier. You feel like you have

288
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.400
the energy and the focus, the concentration, the inner resources

289
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:40.079
you know to overcome sometimes even these these hard challenges.

290
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.279
I'll tell you a story during a time where I

291
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.720
was very, very stressed. I was having some personal challenges,

292
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.640
health challenges and moving a lot and a divorce. During

293
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.240
that time, there was a period where I would go

294
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:55.559
into work and I would try and write an email,

295
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:02.559
and simple email was taking me thirty minutes plus and

296
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.799
I remember sitting there like something's off. I don't feel right,

297
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.039
I don't look good. I woke up on the wrong

298
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.200
side of the bed. It was in that moment that

299
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:16.079
I realized again that I needed to tap into sort

300
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:19.119
of those simple practices to fill up my cup. When

301
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.839
you're stressed. It's very hard for you to have focus

302
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.519
when you're stressed. It's very hard for you to do

303
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:30.240
simple tasks that can get the job done. And the

304
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:35.119
biggest thing that I sort of illuminate you to the

305
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.759
people I coach as well as the work I do,

306
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.599
is you've got to find tools to help you to

307
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.440
mitigate stress. You're not totally going to get away from it,

308
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.599
but if you have tools to fall back on, which

309
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.440
I use constantly, like breath work and things of that nature,

310
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:52.079
it'll help you tremendously.

311
00:19:53.039 --> 00:20:00.559
Absolutely absolutely, So here's the question for you. I'm gonna

312
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.799
uh as a pretty much as it relates to women,

313
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:10.799
because many women are conditioned to equate productivity with value.

314
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:16.119
How can they begin to untangle their self worth from

315
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.119
how much they do for others because you know, we

316
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:24.920
tend to always, you know, taking on more than we should,

317
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.359
because most of us tend to not know that the

318
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:32.480
word no ends with a period. You know, so how

319
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.119
how how can they, you know, begin to untangle their

320
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:39.039
self worth from how much they do for others.

321
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.039
It's a good question. I'm going to speak from a

322
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:45.160
male's perspective. I certainly can't.

323
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:49.240
Speak for women, but I don't set me up now,

324
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.000
so good on, dad. No, But you know what, I

325
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:58.279
think this is something that a lot of us face,

326
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:04.839
including myself, you know, productivity, achievement, being goal oriented. I mean,

327
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.440
in this society, we're taught almost that if you're not

328
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:13.359
achieving or staying productive or providing value, you have a

329
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.319
lack of self worth, or you have you're not worthy

330
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:20.119
for love. And that's really what we're trying to chase,

331
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:23.720
is the value or feeling worthy for love. You know,

332
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:27.119
I think I talked about in backstage my TEDx talk

333
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.480
was why rest feels unsafe and what to do about it.

334
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.519
Many of us feel guilty for resting. Many of us

335
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.599
feel guilty for taking our foot off the accelerator. Anybody

336
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:39.240
who's ever been taught that you have to work ten

337
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.119
times hard and everybody else in the room, it's very

338
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.359
hard for us to take a step back and to

339
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.960
really realize that our worth is not tied to our

340
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:53.079
productivity and our worth is not tied to achieves. And

341
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.319
one of the things that I do actually in my

342
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.880
coaching practice, I have a three step process called the

343
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.720
Eyes and Reclaimed Blueprint. One of the first questions that

344
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:05.799
we sort of discuss is why do you work so hard?

345
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.359
Where does it come from? Right? And everybody has their

346
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.079
different sort of stories, whether it be expectations from your family,

347
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:19.160
whether it be you know, feeling like you know you

348
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.279
have to work twice as hard than everybody else in

349
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.400
the room just to get half as much. Right, we've

350
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:28.240
heard those sayings before. There are mental scripts running through

351
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:32.880
our head that create these beliefs that really can affect

352
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.200
our long term success as well as contribute to burnout.

353
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.559
And I think as we start, if you really want

354
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:46.039
to dive deep and start to separate yourself from you know,

355
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.240
being tied to your worth and productivity, you really have

356
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:53.319
to understand those mental scripts of why do you feel

357
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:55.519
like you need to achieve? Where is it coming from?

358
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:58.079
Is a societal pressure? Did your dad tell you or

359
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.119
your mom tell you that? Or do they only give

360
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:04.880
you love because you continue to achieve or you continue

361
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:09.160
to perform well in sporting events When you were younger.

362
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:12.519
It comes from a mental script, and oftentimes we don't

363
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:16.359
even realize it until we are forced to look at it,

364
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.000
or you're listening to a podcast like this to really

365
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.440
create more awareness about where these beliefs and these mental

366
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.799
scripts come from. So I think it starts there.

367
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:30.640
Okay, now you talk. You also talk about one of

368
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.160
the things you mentioned is listening to your body as

369
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:39.640
a form of wisdom. What signals do people most often ignore,

370
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:42.920
do you think, and what are the consequences of ignoring

371
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:46.279
them long term? And I would think probably some of

372
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:49.359
it is what you mentioned in the beginning. You develop

373
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.519
the anxiety, the depression, different things like that.

374
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.240
Yeah, and you know, I think it happens more often

375
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:02.039
than we realize, you know, So I would think probably

376
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.160
during that time period in twenty seventeen, for me, I

377
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.920
think if something didn't happen, I would have continued to

378
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.119
sort of stay a on that path and life would

379
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:20.720
have become very sort of this underlying feeling of continuous fear,

380
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:28.759
this underlying conal feeling of anxiety and and not feeling

381
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.839
like I was achieving my potential. And it's interesting because

382
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.319
you know, as you start to sort of discover yourself,

383
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:39.759
discover what you enjoy, Discover how you take care of yourself.

384
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.400
You start to realize what works for you and what

385
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:46.799
does it work for you. You start to understand what boundaries mean.

386
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.480
You start to understand what stress really means to you.

387
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:52.680
Many people don't even realize that they're stressed because I

388
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.240
have something called you've heard of sleep at me. Know

389
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.839
when you're not breathing while you're sleeping. They have something

390
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:03.079
called screen app where people are looking at their computer

391
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.200
screens or scrolling on their phones and they're not breathing. Right.

392
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:12.039
These are small things that are affecting how you operate

393
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:16.559
and being able to manage stress. And then of course

394
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.599
we have the distractions and the demands. So I think

395
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.279
the point is, what are some tools that you can

396
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.359
can use once you create that awareness so that you

397
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.480
can minimize stress in your life, become aware of it.

398
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.480
I'll tell you a story, so you know, I live

399
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:35.839
in Arlington, Virginia. Every once in a while get called

400
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:40.400
to Fox five to sort of do some wellness or

401
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:45.200
productivity as a guest. But I remember it was empathestica.

402
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.319
I remember coming up the elevator and I've done this

403
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.400
three or four or five times, but particularly this particular

404
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:53.839
time was very, very nervous. For some reason, I was stressed.

405
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.599
I was coming up the elevator and my breath began

406
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:01.000
to hyperventilate very quickly, and I realized, wait, chats, you're

407
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:05.599
getting stressed. Okay, what are you going to do so

408
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.920
that you can perform at your best and feel like

409
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:13.240
you're supposed to be here. I did a quick breathwork exercise. Right,

410
00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:18.240
many people do the three four seven breathwork exercise. For me,

411
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.279
I just do a quick breathwork. What happens there when

412
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.720
I do that breathwork exercise, it not only slows down

413
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.240
what's called the sympathetic nervous system, your fight a flight

414
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:31.359
nervous system, it spins up your paara sympathetic, your rest

415
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:34.519
and digest nervous system so that you can gain conscious

416
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.039
awareness of your thoughts so that you can perform at

417
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.319
your best. So I did a quick breathwork exercise up

418
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:42.440
on that elevator, got out, I said, I'm ready to go,

419
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:46.000
and I was able to perform at my best. But

420
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:48.279
I think for many of us, and it took me

421
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.480
a while to get to this point, six years. For

422
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:52.720
many of us, we do not have tools to fall

423
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.119
back on so that we can perform at our best

424
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:58.480
despite the stress or the anxiety that we may be

425
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:00.799
feeling in our body. And what I found in my

426
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:04.400
own life is meditation, breath work, even prayer. These are

427
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.200
great tools to change your states of consciousness, to change

428
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:13.559
your brain so that you can feel good and perform

429
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:21.240
better and performance, sustainable performance is really dictated by ensuring

430
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.880
that you have tools to fall back on.

431
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:31.559
Absolutely wow wow. So what does success Because we talked

432
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:34.799
about the fact that success looks different for you know,

433
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.400
everybody looks at success different. What does success look like

434
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:44.039
when it's rooted in peace instead of pressure? And how

435
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.680
can someone tell if they're moving in that direction?

436
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.480
It's a very good question. I think it's a question

437
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.079
I'm continuing to ask myself. But there are some simple

438
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:57.079
things that I've discovered with some of my clients and

439
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:01.559
then as well as myself. Is you know interesting enough?

440
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:07.039
I think in life we get signs, we get feelings,

441
00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:12.079
and I think this probably applies to a lot of people.

442
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:14.759
When you wake up in the morning, how do you feel?

443
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.559
Can you ask yourself that question? How do you feel

444
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:20.680
when you wake up in the morning. Are you headed

445
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.640
towards your purpose? Are you headed towards alignment? Are you

446
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.240
headed towards a higher vision of yourself? In twenty seventeen,

447
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:31.759
I was waking up feeling fearful and feeling depressed. You know,

448
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.400
now I have simple practices that really bring me back

449
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:40.000
into alignment. And I think our body is always talking

450
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.920
to us, but we're not listening. And I think that's

451
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:47.119
really important when you want to achieve things in your

452
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.400
life and make sure that you're climbing the right mountain.

453
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.559
I think one of the biggest things that has been

454
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.519
a shift for me is sort of understanding that there

455
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.279
are tons of transitions in our lives that are happening

456
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.839
to and from work, in the in the car, waiting

457
00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:10.559
for an waiting for a meeting to start, heading to

458
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:13.440
the grocery store. There are transitions that are happening throughout

459
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:17.640
our lives, and many times we carry stress from one

460
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.920
area of our life to the other, and I think

461
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.279
being mindful of the stress that we carry into other

462
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.039
areas of our life. For instance, if you're stressed out

463
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.880
at work and you bring that stress home to your

464
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.960
significant other, guess what You're stressed in two different places,

465
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.200
one of the practices that I've been doing with some

466
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.240
of my clients is before you leave work, you may

467
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:43.319
have been stressed out. What can you do to center

468
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:47.559
yourself prior to heading in to home so you're not

469
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:50.880
unconsciously bringing that stress to your significant other, into the

470
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:54.559
into the household. And I think that's also important is

471
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:58.039
having simple practices that you can say, hey, wait a minute,

472
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:01.519
I don't want to carry the stress into any other

473
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.720
area of my life or to any other person. You know,

474
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:10.240
Doctor Michael Beckwith talks about how it's important to to

475
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.359
to shower. That's a social contract. Track to shower after

476
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.240
you work out, right, you know, what also should be

477
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.079
a social contract is to do some type of mental

478
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.720
cleanse or mental shower. In this case, it could be

479
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.920
prayer or meditation. What are you doing daily to make

480
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.799
sure that you're filling up your cups? You're not unconsciously

481
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:34.640
giving your negative energy or negative thoughts towards somebody else.

482
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:37.200
And I think I also think that's important too, to

483
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:38.200
do a mental shower.

484
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:44.160
Okay, okay, Now you also challenge in your book, you

485
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.640
talk about the UH. You challenge the hustle culture in

486
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:55.920
a way that honors excellence So what's a misconception people

487
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.759
have about slowing down that you'd like to clear up.

488
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:07.519
Yeah, this is a huge topic. I think. Actually in

489
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.039
the book I talked about sort of this change in

490
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:16.200
perspective of actually slowing down to speed up, and we're

491
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.680
talking about it a little bit. But to make sure

492
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.079
that it's clear and you know what, I'm going to

493
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.119
talk about sort of a scientific study that they've done.

494
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:26.440
Many people say that I don't have enough time to

495
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:28.240
work out. I don't have enough time to take care

496
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:30.759
of myself. I have demands, I have distractions, I have

497
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.119
all these things that I need to do. They did

498
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:38.240
this study on how aerobic exercise can actually affect the brain.

499
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.319
So German scientists back in two thousand and seven study

500
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.880
two groups of people. One set group of people. Both

501
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.640
of them were learning new vocabulary words. But one set

502
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.039
learned those new vocabulary words before working out. The other

503
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.720
set learned those new vocabulary words after working out, and

504
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:00.119
they wanted to see how exercise can affect the way

505
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:06.680
that we learn. So interesting enough, the folks that learn

506
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.240
those new vocabulary words after working out learn those new

507
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:14.000
vocabulary words twenty percent faster. Right, So why am I

508
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.519
saying this. I'm saying this because interesting enough, when you

509
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:20.759
begin to pour into yourself and take care of yourself first,

510
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.359
not only do you achieve your goals faster, right, but

511
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:29.240
you enjoy the process. You feel good, your focus increases,

512
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:35.799
you're smarter because your brain is working at optimal levels,

513
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.000
and you're more effective and efficient at carrying out whatever

514
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.759
tasks that you want. So one of the simple tasks

515
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:43.920
and habits that I sort of get people is if

516
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.119
there's something that requires your sort of your full brain capacity,

517
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:51.880
work out first, and then put that activity that you

518
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.519
have to do right after that workout, because your brain

519
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.240
is working at optimal levels. This is a cheat code,

520
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.720
but this is a cheat code that people don't talk about.

521
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:04.079
People are talking about it, but people aren't making use

522
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.279
of it in the way that I'm articulating it. You

523
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:11.079
want to set up your day to create ways where

524
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:14.039
you are performing at your best, and the way that

525
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.440
you do that is, in this case aerobic exercise. Are

526
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:19.839
doing something that you can move your body so that

527
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:24.240
you can feel good, and it strengthens your neural pathways

528
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:28.079
so that concentration and focus in your prefrontal cortex becomes easier.

529
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:32.160
So that's just you know, like a simple example that

530
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.680
I always like to offer to folks. Wow.

531
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:42.680
So this question here, though, I got to ask, what

532
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:51.279
if you for the listening audience, if someone listening realizes

533
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:57.279
that they've built a life that looks successful but feels misaligned,

534
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:01.559
what's the first gentle step you'd encourage them to do?

535
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.519
And I know what you mentioned maybe the workout and

536
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.039
different things like that, but what else would you suggest

537
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:11.079
that they do, especially in this when you talk about

538
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.920
the hustle culture and to kind of get them to

539
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.679
slow down, really slow down.

540
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.599
You bring up the valid point right there, which is

541
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.559
something's got to change. You got to do something because

542
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:27.119
you're we love habits. I think it's estimated that fifty

543
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:31.639
sixty percent of our entire behaviors are just repetitive habits,

544
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:35.400
very unconscious. So I think the biggest thing is is

545
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:39.760
change up something, Change up your routine, do something different.

546
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.760
And you know I discussed a morning routine. Obviously those

547
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:49.880
are really important things, but very very simply, this is

548
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:54.000
something I've been actually working out myself, is when you're

549
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.239
at work or you're at the computer at the desk,

550
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:02.559
slow down, really feel how you're feeling. Before you send

551
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.400
that email, slow down, really feel how you're feeling before

552
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:10.639
you show up to that meeting. Take sort of time

553
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:14.960
to really understand how you're feeling in those moments. So

554
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:19.239
much of us, so many of us, are continuing to hustle,

555
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:22.519
continuing to grind that we're not really thinking about how

556
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.320
we're feeling throughout the day. And I think it's really

557
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.079
important that we take a step back and to have

558
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.599
some breaks. You know, one of the things that I

559
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.119
have to do, and I would recommend for anybody, is

560
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:36.760
I take a break. Yes, I get away from my

561
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:40.639
desk and leave my desk at twelve noon. I do

562
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:44.079
not work and eat lunch at the same time. And

563
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:47.679
it's amazing how taking a simple break and then coming

564
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.599
back to work makes you feel, you feel more efficient,

565
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:54.199
you feel like you have more energy. In that case,

566
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.840
actually in the day there I'm actually reading as well,

567
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:01.199
So I'm getting away from all the work and all

568
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:03.000
the things that I know that I have to do

569
00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:05.480
and reading a book that has nothing to do with

570
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:07.880
the work that I have to do. Because that your

571
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:11.639
brain begins to sort of slow down and starts to

572
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:15.320
go into sort of the right brain hemisphere of more creativity,

573
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:21.239
more imagination, more spark for intuition. And you take that

574
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:22.920
break and then you come back to work, and you

575
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.760
will not believe just how much more efficient that you

576
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.960
are as opposed to continuing to hustle through you know,

577
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.480
your lunch, or continuing to hustle through the day without

578
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.800
a break. And even as simple as taking a walk.

579
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:38.880
You know, you know, these things are not are not

580
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:41.599
hard things to do, it's just we don't do them.

581
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:45.400
Taking a walk in nature, looking at things far away,

582
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.960
helps to alleviate pressure, helps to alleviate states of anxiety

583
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.480
and depression. You know, these are things that civilizations have

584
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:58.000
been doing for thousands of years to decrease stress, to

585
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:02.119
create foundations of equal librium, and to have a sense

586
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:06.519
of peace. But we're stuck from commuting to work, we're

587
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:10.760
stuck sitting down or stuck sort of in the sedondary lifestyle,

588
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:14.199
and we're not getting outside enough. So these are also

589
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:16.480
simple things that you can do, is just get outside

590
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:19.079
of your desk and take a walk. So you need

591
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.239
to feel good and then come back into work and

592
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:23.239
show up as your most authentic self.

593
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:26.840
Yeah that's all true, But then you have those that

594
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:33.440
feel that rest can feel unsafe for some people, especially leaders,

595
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:39.159
because if it may bring up uncomfortable emotions, so to speak.

596
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:44.000
So what do you think tend to surface when people

597
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.800
finally slow down, and how can they move through it

598
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:51.480
with compassion? Because sometimes, like you said, with the hustle

599
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:55.280
and all of that, and the eating at your desk

600
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:59.079
for lunch instead of going out for lunch, that's not

601
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:03.760
slowing down, that's just keeping the hustle going. Really, so,

602
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.440
how can they move through all of this with some

603
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:12.840
compassion meaning I guess compassion for themselves to not feel like, well,

604
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.800
if I don't like you say, I got to be better,

605
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:17.559
I got to do it better. I got you know,

606
00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:23.800
and not feel bad about taking a thirty minute lunch

607
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.159
or an hour lunch, not feel bad about that.

608
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.920
Yeah, you know, we can sit up here and sell

609
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.679
all this all we want. It's really until that individual

610
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:40.599
feels the benefits. What I've seen in my own clients

611
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:44.400
is try it, let me know how you feel after

612
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.800
you try it, And usually they come back they say,

613
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:49.599
oh my goodness, Chaz, wow, I didn't think I was

614
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:52.360
able to accomplish this at one or two PM, but

615
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:54.199
I kind of took a break during lunch, and now

616
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:56.960
I was right back to it, and I felt more energized.

617
00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:59.760
I felt like I was more focused. Right try it.

618
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:03.480
So typically what happens is we get to a point

619
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:06.480
where we start to wake up where something needs to change,

620
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:10.119
and we need a tool to actually make that change.

621
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:13.079
You could read every book, listen to every podcast here,

622
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:16.719
every tool, but if you don't actually utilize it and

623
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:22.039
get the benefits internally, nothing changes. And then also you're

624
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:23.920
not going to have the motivation to try it again.

625
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:27.719
So I always offer is just try it and see

626
00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:30.760
how you feel embody, the feeling of what it feels

627
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:35.239
like to rest, because you're absolutely right, rest can feel

628
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.360
very very unsafe for people who have been caught in

629
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.159
the hustle and rat race. And you know, in my

630
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:44.360
ten X talk, I actually talked about, you know, we

631
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.119
went to go visit my great great great grandfather, his

632
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:52.360
name was Austin Scott, where he was enslaved in a

633
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.440
plantation down in Sparta, Georgia, who was born in eighteen

634
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:57.679
twenty eight. We got to go visit him, and my

635
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.280
text talk I talked about how, particularly in the black community,

636
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:04.280
you know, we didn't have the option to rest and

637
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:08.559
how that carries forward to many of us now where

638
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:12.280
we feel like we have to constantly stay above water

639
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.440
and continue to work work, work, work, work, work, and

640
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:19.519
interesting enough, if we don't disrupt that process and become

641
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.960
aware of it, it will continue to stay with us

642
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.400
for our entire lives. So that's why I always say,

643
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:29.559
you know, having grace, having compassion for yourself starts with

644
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.159
receiving the benefits, right That's that's like that gives you

645
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:36.320
the motivation to do it again. But then you start

646
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:40.519
to realize, wait a minute, I feel better, Wait a minute,

647
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:43.320
I have more focus. I want to do that again.

648
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:45.360
I want to make sure I get my eight hours

649
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.360
of sleep. I would I lie to you not. You know,

650
00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:50.639
this past summer was very busy summer for me. I

651
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.960
was probably getting five hours of sleep. I just got

652
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:56.320
a whoop wristband and attract your sleep and you know,

653
00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:59.000
interesting enough, over the past I would say month and

654
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.280
a half, I've been getting seven to eight hours of sleep,

655
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.840
which is unheard of from me. But I feel good,

656
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:09.159
I feel arrested, and I'm getting the benefits of taking

657
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:12.559
care of myself. Many of us have not created their

658
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:17.880
neurological wiring of taking care of myself, achieving taking care

659
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:21.639
of myself, feeling good, taking care of myself, showing up

660
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:26.440
as my authentic self. Creating that connection consistently really can

661
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:30.639
change your habits and start to rewire. Sort of this

662
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.519
feeling as if I can't rest, well, really you have

663
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:36.920
no option. You have to rest because if you want

664
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:39.280
to sustain your output and to do the things that

665
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:41.679
you're called to do on this earth, you need to

666
00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:42.639
take care of your body.

667
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:48.480
Absolutely. So tell me if you had one piece of

668
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:53.280
advice that you could leave with our viewers and our listeners,

669
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:55.320
what would that piece of advice be.

670
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.840
My entire message to give people hope, to let people

671
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:05.119
know that there is another way of life to live.

672
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:09.639
And I think the highest message that I always like

673
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.920
to express is there are tools out there to enhance

674
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:16.920
the quality of your life. If you're not feeling well,

675
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:19.800
if you're not fulfilled enough, if you're not enjoying this

676
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:23.880
process of life, there are ways to enhance it. You

677
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.559
have to go seek those resources. Listening to podcasts such

678
00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:29.440
as this, listen to the radio station, listening to books,

679
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:32.440
maybe going to coaching or therapy. But there are ways

680
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:35.559
to enhance your quality of life even if it looks good.

681
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.400
The inner life is what really matters. And when that

682
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:44.840
inner resilience, that inner joy starts to express itself externally,

683
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:50.000
that's when your life really starts, because you're starting to

684
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.239
create a foundation for yourself and not try to live

685
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:55.199
up for a foundation or try to live up for

686
00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:00.639
external validation for somebody else, and creating that self trust

687
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:05.079
to let yourself know that taking care of yourself is

688
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:06.880
one of the most important things that you can do.

689
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:12.159
Absolutely so, tell us if they wanted to get your book,

690
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:16.159
which is Success Starts Within, or reach out to you

691
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:20.000
for some more information on how they could possibly avoid

692
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:24.920
burnout and get out of some of that hustle culture.

693
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:28.480
How can they reach you, How can they find your book?

694
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.320
Yeah? Absolutely so. My book's on Amazon. It's titled Success

695
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:37.519
Starts Within. It's been published in twenty twenty three, and

696
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.679
there are simple practices to really enhance the quality of

697
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:43.960
your life right now so that you can sustain your

698
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:46.440
success as well as your fulfillment. And then on top

699
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.239
