Moivulta, me ostettiin vahingossa kartano. Noin meni ensimmäinen puhelun mun miehelle silloin kun se kaikki alkoi. Mutta olihan se mahtavalla paikalla. Hyvien kulkuyhteyksiä varrella ja potentiaalia vaikka mihin. Siis me yhdessä äitin ja siskonin kanssa päätettiin tehdä vaihmalan hovista pirkanmaan paras kokous, juhla- ja lähilomailupaikka. Kurkkaa meistä lisätietoja vahmalanhovi.fi.
Näin, ana mä autan! Haluan, että sen yksi voit tolla määrää nostaa penkistä. Mä tiesin, että sä tuut. Miksi meidän kellari näyttää kuntosalilta? No kun ajattelin teistä, että näin sun kuntoilukomat. Nämä kaikki kamat sait varmaan taas tosi halvalla. No, itse asiassa!
Itse asiassa Bilteemasta löytyy edulliset välineet hommaa kuin hommaa. Oli kysymys sitten omasta tai kaverin projektista.
This week we are going to talk about why you are maybe not blooming and why it is wrong to blame yourself.
We are going to have a cheeky little look into Mother Nature and learn some lessons about if we're not blooming, maybe we should stop. Blaming ourselves and actually look into our environment. Things like have we got root rot and are we getting the right nurture?
It's a bit weird, but bear with us. This is late bloomers where we are getting our lives together.
Eventually. We are really on brand this week. Well, all over the place. Talking about trees and nature. Late bloomers, why are you not blooming? Ah,
I love that.
So if you don't mind. Can I tell the cherry tree story?
Yeah, peop yeah, okay. People are gonna be like, what am I listening to? Just bear with us on this one, guys. Makes
sense. It does make sense, doesn't it? When we moved into our new house We had a beautiful It wasn't beautiful actually. It had the potential to be beautiful. Cherry tree in the back garden. But it wasn't blooming in springtime. So What I didn't do was go up to the tree and be like, Why aren't you blooming? You're useless, you're lazy. Here's a book on productivity.
Yeah, that I don't think that would have worked.
I don't think so. We had a chat, we looked up on Google how do you fix a Cherry tree. And we basically went through a load of systems. Is it being poisoned? Are there like funny leeches on it? Is the soil wrong? Like it was a checklist.
Why does blaming yourself keep you stuck in personal growth?
And it was a really strange moment for me because I'm like Right. We gotta be doing this with humans. R rather than blaming ourselves, we need to look at the environment so
we now need to base our existence on A the cherry tree in the garden. Which is now blooming.
Which is because we found
these gross little leech things on it.
Leech things down by the root. So it had like a sort of root rut, fixed the root rut. Tree is now Rockin' it.
So although a strange start, if you think about us, we've actually changed a lot of our environment, haven't we? When you think about sobriety, therapy, new jobs. So we've really invested on changing the things that are around us. And it's probably fair to say That we're blooming?
I think so. Bloomin' lovely.
Bloomin' great, that's what we are.
We run a business together and we were able for the first time for me to to buy a house. My music's going well. The app is growing in its community, so You know, everything's lovely and we've been really lucky, but those things are a result of environmental changes, not Self-shaming or self-bullying.
So do you think that we could break it down simply then? Like what we've done in in using the the nature metaphor?
Do you mean into like five simple steps?
Oh, look at that.
Funny you should uh
You got them written down on that guard and
written down.
Lovely.
So I'm gonna tell you the five steps. And then we can just go through them. And tell some little anecdotes. Okay. About how that applied to us. Obviously it's gonna be different for every person, but hopefully there's something in there. So here's the five steps. You ready?
I'm ready.
Number one, stop poisoning yourself.
Okay.
Number two, heal your roots. Number three, start pruning.
What is the Cherry Tree story and how does it illustrate environment vs. self‑blame?
Number four, find new soil. And number five, nurture your growth.
I love it. Yeah. So we're now gonna try and decipher what those mean, are we?
