This feels very weird. Like everything feels weird right now. But like, hey friends, haven't seen you in a minute. Haven't been posting. I've been in a grief period, pretty strong. And I didn't plan on making an episode. I've just kind of been like boycotting my social media. Like I'm not posting nothing until I figure out what's going on with myself. I'm not doing shit. But I just went to the gym. And when I left the gym, I went to the store real quick and I ran into this guy. And he recognized me from social media saying that he found my podcast like six months ago and he's been wanting to make a podcast. And he's like asking me for advice. How should I start posting? If you see this, hey, you just helped me get back on track.
But he was basically asking me how to get over the fear and like the worry of what other people are going to think. And like he has all these ideas for a podcast. And he talks to all his friends and everybody about it, and they want to hear what he has to say, but he just can't get himself to do it. And so I told him, Speak from what feels uncomfortable to keep inside of you. Like if you found out you was going to die tomorrow, what would you regret not putting out through a video or through a podcast? Like what is that? Talk from that. Have that conversation and post that. Because when you go to post it and when you're talking about things, you're overriding the whole like fear of judgment bullshit.
It's just like, yeah, this is something I wanted to be out in the ether or whatever. So I'm taking my own advice right now. Because I've been going through a grief period of myself. I'm able to grieve things very, very quickly. Like, drop of a hat. Like, I can shit and get. Like, I can grieve anything going on pretty fast. But when it comes to grieving myself, I'm like a turtle. I'm very slow at that. Like, it's not fun. So, if you've been listening to my past couple episodes, you know I've been going through a bunch of shit. This is what I want to put out in this episode that I just want out. Because in the last episode, I talked about getting your nervous system kind of like...

readjusted and recalibrated a little bit and getting back into controlling your focus and controlling your brain, like having your brain back after you go through some shit, right? So the thing with the nervous system, like once you get it calmed down, things come up that you need to see. And for me, I've been in this period of like, I see kind of things for what they are. And so much has happened so fast. I'm like, okay, I've grieved certain people in my life, relationships, friendships, the people closest to me I've had to grieve. Then they've come back into my life, crazy thing. I've had to grieve my, what I think I'm doing with my life, my career, my ideas for shit, what I've been working on for the past year.
All of that got dead stopped, halted. Like I've had to grieve so many people, so many things. My grandmother actually did pass away. I had to grieve her. Like I survived everything. I've rebuilt. I've been kind of going through the motions, doing my shit. But I've had this lingering feeling and like this pressure in my mind of I just need to get back to how I was mentally and emotionally a year ago. All I need to do is just get back to posting online. I need to get back to being happy so I can post like I used to. I had this constant feeling of I just need to get back to me.
