Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod Great things are brewing at McCafe, the perfect start to every day Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod Guys, if you notice that I'm actually really calm today, I've started something new Oh have you? Yeah, so, um, I don't really know how to do it, but last night I Oh you're not doing meditation I'm not, well I did my first journaling session

Oh! Wait, are you doing this on, do you guys get this on your iPhone? It's always like, oh, you were at the mall today. You should journal about it. I'm like, what the fuck are you saying? What a call for iPhone telling me to journal stuff. Went to the mall, I was hot, I took a shit and I left. I don't know what to say.

Well, listen, there's two reasons. One, I'm working with a trainer now. And as part of her thing, she does nutrition and rest and all these things. And journaling's one of them. And I was like, I'll just skip that because I hate it. Is it because you've got to be thoughtful and you've got to have some... It's like a winding down. And it's good for stress levels, which for me I struggle with.

So I was like, yeah, maybe. But then I was away with my friends over the weekend. And one of my friends is very into all sorts of meditation journaling very vigilant thoughtfulness mindfulness all of that that's the word and so she was journaling and I was like do you find it valuable she was like it's so good and I was like what do you do she's like you just start writing and I was like oh that's good you know you don't have to create a structure anything you're gonna have to put a padlock on this order Aaron reads it I thought this yesterday I was like I wrote down oh I should have taken a photo but I was like I'm journaling it was like the first thing it said and I was like I don't know what to do and then you just sort of like free

think for a while and then it went a bit deep and then it went light and then I said I was hot yeah and then I um said I was gonna flick off a duvet I was like is this journaling wait you were telling the journal um wait just hold on journal I'll be back in a minute I'm just a little hot I'm taking it uh uh do they well to be fair the last time I ever it's diaries right and the last time I ever did that I was a teenager we used to be like hi diary yeah today I did this oh my god okay gotta go bye and at the end I was like I just finished I thought I'd had enough yeah did two pages in a little notebook and I was like did I say goodbye did you talk about Vaughn and I being a great influence on your life I'll get there okay maybe that could be today I could do that yeah I did do I tried to do um uh things I wanted to achieve the next day and things I was grateful for.

And one of the things I was grateful for was really stupid. I think it was that I put the right amount of salt on my dinner or something. Nah, they reckon you can't go wrong with what you're grateful for. Yeah, it was odd. I said I was grateful for the high level of detail in my beautiful home. I was grateful for, oh, that my water tasted nice. And then maybe I did think of you because your water is god awful and thick. My water is the same water as yours.

It's not. It is by far not. But, and yeah, and so I don't know if I'm doing it right, but I'm going to try. Okay. Well, that's what they say you should do is be great, you know, list a few things every day you're grateful for. Yeah, and it doesn't have to be like, you know, the sun and the moons. It can just be shit like your water tastes good and, you know, good amount of salt on your face.

My subscription to Netflix. Yeah. But then I did. I tucked it under my bed and I was like, do I have to say, no one read this? Or like I was going to write a page at the front and be like, don't fucking read this. Yeah. Hayley's diary. Keep out.

My mum read my diary when I was a teenager. How'd that go? She sent me to therapy. And when I was much younger, like, you know, 11 and I had one of those like fun, like, oh my God, Marcus Lamb is so hot journals. Is that a real person? Yeah, Marcus Lamb. Did he continue?

He had a bowl cut and he used to like flick it to the side. Oh yeah. I used to be like, oh my God. Where's he now? Is he married? Has he got a cut and he used to flick it to the side. Oh, yeah. He's like, oh, my God. Where is he now? Is he married? Has he got a wife? Well, I don't know. I looked him up not that long ago, actually.

Okay. I was 11. Yeah. Has he still got a bowl cut? I don't think so. Because that would be quite bold for an adult man to now have a bowl cut in his 30s. Or while he's on Facebook. Okay, damn.

Nah. But that had one of those little padlocks on it that you could pick with in his 30s. Facebook. Okay, damn. Nah. But that had one of those little padlocks on it that you could pick with a bobby pin. Yeah. And did your mum pick it? No, she didn't read that one.

She read my teenage one. What were those diaries called that had the little padlock you could pick on it and they folded out into three? Yeah. And they had a kangaroo? Were they like an Ashton

scholastic thing you'd order at school like through the book club? Go to 1990s. Yeah, I got mine from the school scholastic book club thing a secret flower diary yeah maybe it was that right i've still got it i've still got that one so you think you're gonna do journaling every you're gonna continue this i'm gonna try okay i'm gonna try because i always poo poo things like meditation

because i've got a fast brain but i was like this is quite good because it's active i was gonna say if you want to keep it secret you could use the journal function on your phone, but then you get the phone notifications. But you also get the blue light, and the whole point is winding down. Oh, yeah, okay. I will say I jumped into bed quite late yesterday, say like 9.30, then I journaled till 10, and then I sat on my phone till 1 a.m. Jesus Christ.

I was in bed at 8 last night. Which was good for me. I was quarter to 8. I stuffed it up last night So the journaling You've got to start journaling earlier Journal earlier and then don't pick up the phone That was the death of me You've got to have the phone down But anyway you might notice an intense change in me

My journaling Maybe someday I will write about it Does this mean you're a journalist now oh my god is that how easy it was yeah don't some dumbos go to like university

for their shit yeah they do oh my god Hayley Sproul journalist
