hello everyone and happy sunday i hope you are having a lovely weekend and i just wanted to share with you a moment from tomorrow's episode this is just a weird this is just a weird feels feels like a weird Christmas because we came out of the pandemic and I feel we were promised this roaring 20s of sort of hedonism and gluttony and wondrous things. And we've been met with a recession and a cost of living crisis and just all sorts of awful things going on in the world that creates a lot of anxiety. And that's a big thing to process. So if you are feeling uneasy at the moment, I don't blame you. And I've been feeling the same. I'm really having to pause and notice where I'm kind of scrambling.

I've also noticed that I'm kind of transferring some of my perfectionistic tendencies or that concept I just spoke about of not enoughness into work it's like I'm not achieving enough I'm not growing enough and I've really had to just slow down for a second and be like okay where is that coming from and why do I feel this need to be doing more? So as a bit of homework for you guys, I would invite you to slow down at the moment and just give yourself some time, check in with your breath,

check in with where you are emotionally and allow space for whatever's coming up. Another thing me and my friend were discussing this morning was the internal narrator or the internal critic that we all have living in our minds and how sabotaging it can be. on someone's podcast yesterday about this very topic and how much I struggled with this before my Saturn return during my 20s and how much that internal critic robbed me of things, robbed me of happiness. The sneaky thing about that voice is it tells you it's what other people think of you, but it's entirely untrue. And it's a corrosive narrative that can stop you from being present it can stop you from being grateful I have found that the best way to combat this is to speak it out to share that voice with someone and tell them what's going on because it's essentially our shadow part and when it exists

only in our mind it can fester but we have to bring it to the light shadow part and when it exists only in our mind, it can fester. But we have to bring it to the light. We have to confront it. And by no means am I immune from that voice. It comes up on the daily and especially when I'm tired or feeling a bit run down. But rather than let it grab the steering wheel and destructively push me off track, I just sort of acknowledge it and then put it to the side. I'm like, I get that you're here, but you're not taking over.

If you want to listen to the full episode, it will be available at 7am tomorrow. That is Monday. And I hope you enjoy it. Sending lots of love. And remember, you are not alone. Goodbye. hope you enjoy it sending lots of love and remember you are not alone goodbye
