I rant about this morning when I saw my ex unfollowed me on IG.

If you want abundance in anything in life, whether its your social life, your health, your wealth, sex life, whatever, stop waiting to GET it to be happy. Happiness is a prerequisite to attract abundance in your life.

You have power right now to choose how you think and feel. It was never about possessing something or getting external validation that gives you the sense of peace and fulfillment. Perpetuate hell on earth by "needing" things to make you feel "happy." Or learn the skill of raising your baseline emotional state, and counting your blessings.

I chat with Jerome Cazerolles, host of Biomechanique podcast and a friend. He is now based in Bali, Indonesia, living the digital nomad dream, and he was in Montreal recently to launch his brand new Fitness and Health online program, Life 3.0.

Any of us can fall into a downward spiral if we lose a handle on ourselves in the face of hardship and extreme stress. Many will choose to cope with substances like alcohol or weed. Many will find other damaging habits that keep them in a loop of destruction to numb themselves from the pain. When we need to heal ourselves we need to get in touch with the spiritual. We need a community.

So much of confidence and self-esteem come from being aligned to your true self. But you might be struggling to know what your "true self" even is. The road starts with self compassion.

There are Winners and Losers. That's it.

How to be confident and stop giving a f*ck.

In this episode I'm going to talk about laying down the foundation for your confidence and self esteem with self love, and building on that by spiritually aligning to what it is your spirit wants you to do, and not letting anyone tell you how to live.

I've been working on a new YouTube channel. It's taking up a lot of my time and energy. Tons of learning to do. I sort of lost my alignment this week and had a hard time doing my Naturalized recordings. Mainly the street interviews. But I was able to get my focus back today and I'm super grateful.

I started doing street interviews as a spinoff of this podcast. Then I was quickly reminded the reason why I started this podcast, and I needed to realign to it to make this better and have a north star to follow going forward. Also the haters are coming.

I'm in my "take a step back to take 2 steps forward" era right now but I recently came across some old videos I've made like 5 years ago and I was impressed by them. I realize I had forgot some powerful concepts that had taken me far in my self development in the past. I needed the reminder.
