And one of the things that came up for me during that time away was stop lying to yourself and stop volunteering those lies to other people. And that's literally what I wrote this book for. I wrote this book for people to stop lying to themselves and stop volunteering those lies to other people.
Powerful words. Whoever that was who wrote that, they remixed Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror. I just want you to know I'm talking about the man in the mirror.
I'm asking him to change his way. That's all that is. But whoever wrote that is absolutely positively true. The hardest thing for us to do is look in the mirror every day and be honest with ourselves. And I literally challenge myself every day. I wake up every day. And before I'm honest with anybody else,
before I'm telling anybody else about, you know, what I think they may be doing wrong, or if I give them compliments on what they're doing right, I talk to myself first. Like, you know, that inner voice in your head, the things you tell yourself are really the most important. And that's what I do every morning.
Yeah, it's a chapter called Tree Hug the Block.
And, you know, I just talk about the benefits of, you know, doing things like forest bathing, you know, walking around in your yard with your shoes off and your socks off and just doing grounding exercises, you know, going up to trees, putting both hands on the trees, putting your forehead on the tree, taking a few deep breaths, you know, saying a prayer, you know, sometimes, you know, just sitting shirtless with your back
to the tree, you know? Me and one of my spiritual advisors, her name is Yadi Alba, we laugh because, you know, she always says, you know, lay down in the ground, face down, ass up, right? And just let the earth, just feel the earth.
And man, you'd be surprised how when you're stressed out or if, you know, you're battling like a bout of depression or your anxiety levels are high, you'd be surprised how that just brings you right back to center. And, you know, we used to laugh, you know, back in the day at the people who used to consider themselves You know, tree huggers, you'd be like, oh, man, they just high.
Everything is great when you're high. And guess what? Megan, they right. You know, when you're walking around doing some grounding in the backyard, or even when you're not high, it really does feel great, and it really does bring you back to center in a real way. I like the beach, too. I like walking barefoot on the beach. I would hope I'm...
I would hope the only time you're walking on the beach is barefoot, but walking on the beach barefoot, going in the ocean, you know, you know, being in the ocean, looking right up at the sun, saying a prayer directly from the water to the sun, man, all of that brings you back to center in such real ways.
Oh, absolutely. You know, I'm not against, you know, anybody who needs medication, you know, for certain things. But, you know, personally, I've never had to use it. I remember my father, even when I was young, when they were trying to put me on like Ritalin as a child, you know, my father was like, no.
You know, back then, though, it wasn't, you know, he don't need Ritalin because he don't need to just be on medication. It was he don't need no Ritalin. He needs Asbeat. Right. But even now, it's like I don't we don't we don't necessarily medicine shouldn't be the first thing.
option all the time you know i feel like you know this is a glorious earth that we that we're on and like there's a lot of natural remedies and holistic remedies that we could be you know tapping into that bring us a those same results a lot of those uh things in the pharmaceutical pharmaceutical world do
That's the strangest thing about anxiety, right? Like anxiety creeps up on you at weird times. It's those times when you're just literally laying on your couch at home and then all of a sudden you get up and you start checking to see if all the doors are locked, right? Or, you know...
Like, you can be laying on the couch and there's a ceiling fan going and you just start thinking to yourself, what if that ceiling fan, you know, flies off and, like, cuts my head off? Like, it's just the stupidest, strangest things. But when it comes to, like, getting in front of a microphone and talking to millions of people, yes, there's a level of anxiety there.
But for some reason, it doesn't give you, you know... those same panic attacks of just going through regular everyday life.
I have no idea why I'm able to get in front of a microphone and talk to millions of people effortlessly, but I can't be in a party with 50 people without wanting to go home, because I'm already having a panic attack, because I'm thinking about the worst possible scenarios happening.
Oh God, I don't want to deal with him. That is actually another reason I wrote this book. That's why I think small talk sucks because I don't think they understand when you're a person who's already dealing with anxiety and you've had to say prayers and do breathing exercises and put your beads on, right? And all your other things just to show up in the world.
The last thing I want to do is have a meaningless, conversation with a stranger. At least come into my life or come up to me and bring me a conversation of value that may ease whatever it is I got going on. I tell a story in the book about I tell a story in the book how I was at the airport and, you know, I'm a person who's been attacked in the street a couple of times, right?
Like right here, right here in New York City, you know, just for things that I've said on the radio. Like, you know, back in the day, though, not anything recently, but like over a decade ago. But you still have that PTSD from things like that. So I'm at the airport and this guy comes up to me and he's trying to talk, but he's like... not really saying anything, so automatically I'm on alert.
