145: Brain chatter & how it can serve you

Episode 145 Transcript: You’re listening to Episode 143 of The Art of Living big. I missed last week. I never miss. I’ve had this show for over two years, I guess going into three years. And I’ve never missed. But I don’t know if you can still hear it in my voice. But I have been sicker than maybe I’ve ever been ever in my life. So it is the 14th today, Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all. And on the first the week before that I was really tired. And I kept thinking that maybe I needed like a vitamin or something like I was like, What is wrong with me am I like one of those people that now I have no energy, like, it just was weird. And I was wanting to like nap. And by the first, I was really tired. And by the first evening, we went to Costco, and I was like, we’ve got to get out of here. I don’t feel good. And it was like downhill quickly from there. And so I ended up with that. I guess it was bronchitis and it moved into pneumonia. And now we’re on like, the third week, and I feel like I’m finally starting to come out of it. So I have some things that I want to share. Because you know, I’m always like thinking of stuff I want to tell you guys. So before we get into the show, I want to share two things that I found. Okay, the first thing is this stuff called boom. And if you don’t follow me on Instagram, because I when I find stuff that I like, I like to share it on Instagram, but boom, because I’ve been sick. This is why I’m telling you about the boom, boom. So I’ve been sick. And I mean, I can’t breathe, and I’m coughing a ton. I mean, it was awful, right? pneumonia, it’s like all in your lungs. And like all of that, and I had breathing treatments and two rounds, antibiotics and like all this stuff. But I found this stuff called boom, boom, it was on Shark Tank, and it looks like inhaler like not afrin because it’s not like a two but you know, like the little tubes it. I remember in the 80s like where you’d have where you’d open it up. And it was like this tube that you’d stick by your nose and breathe in. And it was to help clear your nose, right. But this is got like essential oils in it. And it’s like a shot of like peppermint or a shot of berry breeze. But it’s minty. And so it totally clears out your whole face hole. And so I tell you this, because I don’t think you have to be sick to have to like this. I think it is even better as I have gotten better and not been sick. Because it’s like, whoo, it’s like you take a shot. You know what I mean? You’re like, whoa, I’m wide awake. And so this is sort of my new thing, instead of having like coffee in the afternoon or something like that. I’m just gonna be like, trying to smell these things. Anyway, I thought they were fun, and I wanted to share that with you. And then the other thing I wanted to share with you is, you know, when I was sick, and I’m gonna stop talking about how I’ve been sick in just a minute, because nobody really wants to hear about that. But I couldn’t. I actually you know how I talked about how I don’t like to watch TV, all I did for like four days was watching Netflix. And I watched a ton of like design shows, like I tried to watch stuff like that, because I could not concentrate. And I couldn’t sleep. It was like this awful in between place. And so finally I was able to like meditate and do stuff like that which in the beginning, I really couldn’t like I was just in such a misery and out of it, which leads into my show, because there’s a lesson in here I want to tell you about. But there’s an app called beat fulness. And it’s a cool little logo.
