Speaker 1: Thank you, hey, welcome back guys. This is part two of the Child Within. Thanks so much for listening. Speaker 2: Listen, it's okay to be childlike, as long as we do it for the right reasons. You know. Don't use reasons, don't use envy, don't use jealousy, don't use the one-up syndrome. Speaker 1: You know, you can. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: It just is not going to give you as big of an enjoyment as you possibly could have. Speaker 2: Right, because then the enjoyment goes away when people start recognizing that you one-upped them. Speaker 1: Yeah, that energy is not sustainable. It's very short-lived. Speaker 2: Right, like the guy at the grocery store, we have a Jeep and in our Jeep is a very loud sound system that I put in because I always wanted one as a kid and it makes me feel good. And so I went out and put it in and came driving up to the grocery store. The bass was thumping, it was loud. And so I went out and put it in and came driving up to the grocery store. The bass was thumping, it was loud. I had the windows half down, you could hear it through the whole parking lot. And I get out and this guy says to me that he may have been just my age or a little older. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Speaker 1: Why Is my ass hanging out of my shorts? I'm sorry. Is my junk hanging out. Speaker 2: I just looked at to tell you what I said on the podcast. But my response to him was maybe you should be ashamed of yourself that you're not living like a child. Yeah, but I said it in a different way. Right, and so there are aspects of my life I've allowed myself to be a child in, but other aspects I've not. Right, and what I've discovered is is because I went and bought that stereo system, not out of because I was jealous of anybody or any other reason other than I wanted it, Because I remember as a child riding around with my friends they had stereo systems and how it makes you feel inside of it. And so I went and bought this because I gave myself permission to be a child. Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's take it in a little bit different direction for half a second. Speaker 2: Okay. Speaker 1: Because inevitably what that will do is if you're not following your creativity, which is inspired by your higher self, your higher self gives you little knocks on the door that say go, do this, go do that , to really open up that creativity vibration or that creativity aspect, and if you're not letting yourself be childlike by having an imagination and having fun and laughing and playing and Just carrying around, just carrying on, yeah. Yeah, and you're pinching yourself off, basically because this person said something about it, or this person or the they's that are outside of you, then the flow of that will begin to slow down and can even completely disappear, where you won't have a creative thoughts and that will fade away and go away, because you're actually blocking yourself because of all of these outside things that you're pulling in and not allowing yourself to be creative or have that childlike mentality. And then you wake up and one day you're a writer that has writer's block I mean, you know we that has writer's block. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we are writers of our life. Speaker 2: Creators. That's what you meant by creative juices. Yeah, creating our own reality. Speaker 1: You know we write our story. And if you find yourself in a melancholy place in your life with writer's block, basically, writer's block basically kind of just humdrum, bored or whatever , feeling like your juices are not flowing in the creative thing of what, what, what am I going to do next? What can I do next? It may be that because you're not allowing yourself to be childlike or have the have the fun and the just organic joy of being silly or following that inspiration to, I don't know, get up and do whatever it is you're, you know, get up and dance when the music is on, regardless of who's watching yeah then you'll block yourself off from that flow. It'll become a trickle and then it'll become just a drip and it eventually can fade away into being completely blocked if you're not careful. Speaker 2: What comes to my mind is when you said allowing yourself or giving yourself permission, when you were a kid you could make anything fun. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And when you raise kids, your kids made anything fun. Yeah, and when you raise kids, your kids made anything fun. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And so we just got to remember that it's okay to not be embarrassed, it's okay to act like a child, it's okay to allow yourself to have that child energy. Speaker 1: Don't take everything so serious yeah. Speaker 2: And that's where Lighten up yeah, completely, I mean Energy light Life is not so serious. Yeah, and that's where Lighten up? Yeah, completely, I mean Energy . Light Life is not that serious. Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of a play on words. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Be enlightened, being Enlightened, lighten up about things. Speaker 2: Yeah, don't take everything so serious, and that's really a big statement Don't take everything so serious . Speaker 1: Yeah. Make sure life is fun. Like you know, yesterday you got a new tattoo yes, I did. Speaker 2: And in the process of this tattoo well, actually this has been going on now for like a month we have you know in our getting our other tattoos, there is a new tattoo artist there. That's an apprentice yeah and jenny gave her a picture one day and she was practicing on her test skins and and it came out great, did a good job. And then on friday the 13th, we stopped by the tattoo shop because they were packed. Because, in case you all don't know this, on friday the 13th, tattoo shops around the country everywhere, from what I've been told, do tattoos for 31 dollars yeah, it's a whole big. Thing that's like a huge thing we don't know no, I know it, and we've been getting tattoos for years. Speaker 1: Yeah, so apparently they pick a handful of kinds of tattoos that they'll do for this amount of money, right, and they will do them for the. I think it's $31, not $13. They flip the two. Speaker 2: They flip the $13 around to $31. Because I asked why? Because $13 wouldn't pay the bills, and so they flip it to $31, and then they have different tiers. They have $31, $41, $51, and $61. Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like a Black Friday for the tattoo world. Speaker 2: Well, it is Black Friday, Black Friday the 13th, that's exactly what they call it . Our tattoo artist said he did 47 tattoos that day. Speaker 1: Yeah, they were packed, yeah, anyway. Speaker 2: So this apprentice tattoo artist that night we kind of scheduled for her because the owner of the shop told her hey, you need some lighter skin to work on, so you need some pasty white skin. Because I guess she was learning how to make her lines not disappear or whatever. Speaker 1: Right, just needing practice on a different skin tone. Yes, on a different skin tone. And guess what I am? Speaker 2: Dr Jenny is very Elmer's glue pasty white. Speaker 1: Yeah, Almost transparent. I embrace it. Tan is not a, not a. The only tan spots on me are the little freckles. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: The little islands of tan. Speaker 2: Freckle spots. Yeah, so, anyway. So we make the plan for the following Friday, which was yesterday, for her to come in and going to put the tattoo that Jenny gave her on her, and she got all scared and was trying to cancel it. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Because she lost her driving. Speaker 1: She didn't lose her drive. She didn't have the confidence because she was her, her driving , what made me lose her drive? She didn't have the confidence because she was being self-critical she lost her childlike thought in it yeah because, like our tattoo artist daniel. Speaker 2: By the way, if you all get a chance to stop by pinup's tattoo studio down on 60 and brandon in florida and brandon florida. It's on lithia pine, christ in 60 he's amazing stop by the pinup tattoo shop and talk to Daniel Gutierrez. He is phenomenal. Speaker 1: He is. Speaker 2: So he? I asked him. I said when you first started, would you have been that nervous ? He said no, I was excited and he actually made this motion with his hands, like a kid holding brand new package of candy he just got. I was excited to get to do my first tattoo and to work and learn, because he has the childlike thought he still does when he's not doing tattoos. He's learning how to. He's playing on his bass guitar . He's always doing something. Speaker 1: Right, well, even at his station, you know, he has all these superheroes. Speaker 2: Yeah, he does. Speaker 1: All these little action figures. Yeah, like his whole station is just very imaginary childlike. Speaker 2: And so she. Speaker 1: And being okay with that and living life that way. Speaker 2: And so she let her fear of messing it up take away her childlike thought of it. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Of. Oh my God, I'm so excited I get to do something on somebody else. Speaker 1: I didn't let her. Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you didn't let her get away with it. Yeah, oh my God, I'm so excited I get to do something on somebody else. I didn't let her. Yeah, no, you didn't let her get away with it. No, no, it was funny Cause she sent her a text. I was, we were driving towards the tattoo shop because the plan was to be there at 11 AM and it was like five minutes to 11 and and Jenny sends her a text that says get your shoes on, get your butt out of bed. Speaker 1: I'll see you at the tattoo shop in 20. No, I said in five minutes. I'll be there in five minutes. Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's like I'm still at home, okay? Speaker 1: I said well, get your ass up, get your shoes, I'll be there in five waiting on you, and she's like, okay, I'll be there in 22 the the whole part of it was is she because she let her fear control her child? Speaker 2: that is, that is something that we do as adults a lot. Speaker 1: And it wasn't just her fear, it was her self critical evaluation. Right, because what she was saying was oh, my lines are crooked, they're not going to be good enough for you. Speaker 2: She told me that her lines were shaky. I don't know what that means. Speaker 1: Yeah, and her lines are fine. Speaker 2: No, they come out perfect. Speaker 1: They did, they did, but it was good it was what we've talked about before another podcast. It was that she allowed herself to create a story a story, and why is such? A heavy word, but I'm going to use it because it's exactly what happens. Allowing ourselves to create a lie about ourself will prevent us from moving forward and acting upon the inspiration that our higher self is feeding us. Speaker 2: That is fueled through our childlike thought. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And the fears get in the way. Her fear was she was going to mess it up. Yeah, her lines were shaky. She had all these fears. The lines are going to disappear right and that's all just fear that stops us from being a child. Yeah, and in the fear of being embarrassed, the fear of what other people think, the, the fear of letting somebody down because you're acting like a child, yeah, you're being immature, right? I think the most important part of this for me is realizing that who cares? Like I was envious of those kids in school and I don't see any of them now. Speaker 1: Well, not only that, but why join the herd? Speaker 2: Right. Speaker 1: Why join the herd? That has always been my platform of life is that I refused to join the herd. I am not going to be herded around like some mindless robot. Speaker 2: You zombie. Speaker 1: I dressed weird. I'm the one that put on the fruit skirt with two different converse colored tennis shoes. I'm the one that had what's a fruit skirt? Speaker 2: I have no idea what that is, but I know everybody's going to say what's a fruit skirt? Speaker 1: So in my life of growing up I don't even know where I got the skirt, but it was my favorite skirt. It was long, it was an ankle skirt, very flowy, it was a yellow background and it had, you know, that little lady that wears the fruit on her head, that's on the Chiquita banana. Oh yeah, With all the different fruits in her little hat. Yeah, oh, yeah of the fruit. Speaker 2: I thought it was big. They were huge fruits. They were little. No, they were not tiny. Speaker 1: They were very much big and in your face and I loved wearing that skirt as a base for creating an outfit because it had all these different colors so I could change my shirts out, I could wear the different Converse colors. I would sometimes wear an orange Converse with a pink sock on one leg and, like the whole, punky Brewster and Only Generation. Speaker 2: X will know who that is Punky Brewster, wow. Speaker 1: And then I would wear like a purple Converse with a yellow sock and then I would bring in like a lime green shirt and I loved that skirt. Speaker 2: You were the multiverse of colors. I was the weirdo that was not afraid to dress, and only Gen X will know that one as well. Speaker 1: Crazy. I just didn't care. But the thing is, the reason I didn't care is because I was always changing schools. And so in my mind it was like you know what? I'm not going to let these people keep me from being who I am, because in a couple of months I'm going to move away and never see them again right when that's. Speaker 2: That's how you should live life is remove the fear of what they think, because they're not going to be around anyway yeah. Speaker 1: So being a military travel brat, the the positives of it were me being able to live life from that perspective of. I don't care what you think, I'm not going to see you in a couple of months anyway. Unfortunately, it didn't give me the opportunity to have like what you had, which was to be raised with a group of kids, and y'all grew up together like Sandlot. Speaker 2: And you traveled through. There was a group of us that went to kindergarten together and we were in high school together. Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I didn't get that opportunity, but what I did get was not caring what anybody thought, because they're not going to be. I mean, they're not going to be around. Speaker 2: Right yeah. Speaker 1: So I just did me and it was cuckoo bird stuff. Man, if you can go back to your high school or your kindergarten or your middle school and you can pinpoint that one person that went against the grain with every aspect of their style, their personality, that nerdy, geeky, something ain't right with that person. I was that person yeah, I was that weirdo and I was okay with it because, like I like, I said Well you still do it now I still do it today. I still do it today. Speaker 2: Everybody wonders what she's going to come out wearing today. Yep she actually came out one day wearing a complete pirate outfit 100%. Speaker 1: I was feeling kind of piratey. Speaker 2: So I just want to make sure everybody understands, first of all, that it's okay to be a child. It is, and we are always good at making sure we identify ways for people to kind of go through that process. I'll start with step one. I think step one is when you identify something that creates that childlike feeling inside. Identify and own it. Then take it into a place of making it okay and removing the fears of what anybody else thinks, because it's really about your childhood, not theirs anyway, and if they're going to judge you, who cares? Because they don't have any power over you. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And what do you think about it? Speaker 1: I was just checking in to see is that really the first step? And you know, my platform of teaching people how to kind of go about this is for those that are still in that place of not being fully aware and catching themselves doing things kind of subconsciously fair enough yeah, I think that is probably the very, very first baby step when you're in. You know, know, I view this as being back in school. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: There's those that are at the elementary, the pre-K level, the kindergarten level, the elementary, middle school, high school. So that's kind of how I view it , that's the example I use, I view it, that's the example I use, and so for those that are still in, like the pre-K world, and they've been given glimpses of there is something more out there, getting to that place of putting yourself in a state of awareness is probably the first step. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Because if you're always running on just a subconscious autopilot and not living life intentionally, and you're just living life on autopilot robotically, yeah, then that's when you're missing the boat, that's when you're not getting. Speaker 2: I agree. Speaker 1: Advancement, that's when you're not advancement, that's when you're not like. Why is nothing changing? Like I'm doing all the right things, I've got a budget, I'm working my budget. I'm going to work every day, I'm being the best I can in my job, I'm doing this, this and this humanly for my kids or my family. Why are things not working out for me? Those that are at that different level there's people out there saying that to themselves I've got a great job, I'm doing this, I'm doing this, I'm doing this on their checklist, but they're still living life from an unconscious, subconscious place of letting life happen instead of intentionally making life happen , and I want to say that sorry that's me smacking, but I want to say that in a reserved way because, in the big scheme of things, we don't make life happen either. but that's a whole, nother podcast yeah, that's a, that's a different podcast. So I think step one is catching yourself yeah, I agree bringing it to the actual awareness, catching when you're living in the subconscious autopilot. Speaker 2: I like it it. Speaker 1: That would be step one. Speaker 2: I agree, I agree with you totally, and when you take it to that level, that's definitely a first step, and I think second step is Cause you can't do anything about it if you're not aware of it. That's correct. If you just ignore it and move on, then you'll never recognize it and it'll just and spirit's going to keep throwing it right in your face until you do identify it. Speaker 1: I don't. Well, it's not necessarily spirit. Speaker 2: It's a higher self right. Speaker 1: It's you throwing it in your face. Agreed, Because you have to remember that mechanism of beliefs, patterns and programs is designed by nature to always make itself true. So if you have beliefs, patterns and programs in place that are saying I'm living on autopilot because I've never really um been taught how to live differently, then that's going to be how you just automatically work through your life. Yeah, is on this like unconscious autopilot? Speaker 2: you know. This reminds me of the the part in that movie when she realized who her if was in the movie. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And then she runs back there, she puts the picture down and she closes her eyes. She says all I got to do is close my eyes and it'll be real. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And then it come back and she took her fear away, she took her emotion away, she identified it, like you just said, she realized, Yep identified it, like you just said, she realized, yep, came to the realization, consciously, consciously went back. It had, even out of the fear of the old witch up on the top stairs. Right, she conquered the fear, she opens the door, she goes in, she lays it down, she closes her eyes and she makes it come to fruition. That's a pretty big step, I think, yeah, and it always whereas her, her identifying it, like you said, then conquering the fear and then going, making it happen right giving yourself permission it's okay to be a kid to be a kid, because once you can get to that place, then life looks like this, instead of life looking like. Speaker 1: All these things are happening to me. Yeah, all these things are happening for me as an adventure I agree. So what it does is it will let you toggle your perspective from the place of oh my god, why is this happening to me now? And why is this happening to me , or why is this? And being perceived as a negative thing. Speaker 2: Why does this always happen to me? Speaker 1: it toggles your perspective to oh, this is happening and so what's around the corner? What is this going to clear? What is this going to bring about? What is this going to have me evolve into? So then you go into this like excited, even though it could be viewed as a negative experience of crap. Why did this happen? Wow, you know what this is really going to clear some nice crap out of the way and make room for even bigger, better things. Speaker 2: Well, that's viewing it as a child. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Because even when we're children, we don't view anything as really tragic until we look around and see everybody else. Speaker 1: Until we see our parents standing there with a belt, yeah, and we're like, oh shit, what did I do? I'm about to get a spanking Crap. Speaker 2: But then even that's short-lived, it doesn't linger, it's like the story of Courtney on the back steps or Christina I'm sorry Christina on the back steps. When I was sitting in my recliner I always had a baby gate up to keep her from falling down. Speaker 1: The steps Are you sure you want to tell this story ? Somebody might call CPS on you. Speaker 2: No, this was years ago. Who cares? And so I took the baby gate off and I was sitting in my chair and she would always walk up to the baby gate and look down, because this was an elevated porch, it was probably six or seven steps up. I took the baby gate down one day where I forgot to put it up or something and I looked over my shoulder at her and she was looking at those stairs and I said don't do that. And she looked back over me and she looked and I said it's going to hurt if you do that. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And she tumbles down the stairs. I mean head over heels All you see is her, her head, then her diaper her head. I mean head over heels All you see is her head, then her diaper her head, then her diaper her head, her diaper, because I jump up out of my chair and I look down at her and she lands on the bottom step on her butt. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And she's looking forward. Her mama saw it. I'm trying to wave her off from running because she wasn't crying, Right, she was actually. It looked to me like she was about to laugh. You know, like, ah, you know start laughing. Speaker 1: She was trying to decide how she felt about what just happened. Speaker 2: She thought it was fun. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Until her mama come running up to her oh baby. And then she started crying Right and because she thought that experience that she just lived was fun, Whatever that was Right. Allowing other people to affect our childlike thoughts can create those kind of negative behaviors, because I think she was going to laugh. And then mama gets involved and now it's a sad thing. We're moving that out of your reality and don't allow people to affect your childlike thoughts. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: By any, for any reason, out of their own fears, out of their own judgment of you , right, you know, stopping that thought process, and they are not allowed to control your reality. The only person that can create your judgment of you, right, you know, stopping that thought process, and they are not allowed to control your reality. The only person that can create your reality is you. Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's bring it back around to steps. Speaker 2: How do? Speaker 1: you get there. So we already revisited the fact of just being aware, being aware that you're not doing it, so it is not allowing yourself to be childlike, right? That fun, that interesting, like life is interesting. That's a different vibration. Speaker 2: Right, and I think the second step of this is letting your childlike thoughts, allowing them to happen. Don't stop them from happening. Let them out of the bag. Speaker 1: Let them out of the bag. Yeah them to happen. Don't stop them from happening. Let them out of the bag. Speaker 2: And then, when you have that childlike thought, the step three is to not allow anybody else to change that with their fears, with their judgment. And then you say it's okay, it's okay for that cat to come out of the bag, so to speak. Allow the childlike thought to happen. Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like with me I dress and do all that cookie stuff even today. And I still have people that will come across my reality, that will have some judgmental comment about it. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: And it just Pings off of me and I move on. Speaker 2: I don't change, you're glue. Speaker 1: That's right. Speaker 2: Anything you say bounces up me and sticks on you. Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And I think that's. Speaker 1: The next step is getting yourself to that place of when you do put yourself out there to follow your childlike inspiration, when you go test this out in public. So that's basically what happens is you come to the realization that, okay, I am wanting to allow myself to be more childlike and behave in that way, regardless of what? Speaker 2: the they out there thinks. Speaker 1: And we're going to use clothes just because that's the topic. So you and we're going to use clothes just because that's the topic. So you put on that crazy outfit and you go off about your day doing shopping, go the mall, whatever, and you get those funky looks and you may even have somebody come up and make some funky comment to you. That's still a form of practice . When they make that comment to you initially, when you start doing it it's gonna feel yucky yeah because that's the habit that you've allowed yourself to do right. So you stop at that moment you check in with okay, that's not feeling good, but remind yourself that what they think doesn't matter doesn't really matter. Go back to you getting dressed that morning. Speaker 2: Making yourself feel good. Speaker 1: Making yourself, reminding yourself of how fun it was to put that outfit on and go out into the day feeling funky, funky, funky, whatever. Going back to remind yourself of that. When somebody does come into your reality, that basically gives you a pop quiz. Speaker 2: Yes, are you there yet? Speaker 1: And instead of getting a big F on your pop quiz , stop and remind yourself of why you're doing it. Okay, listen, I'm practicing allowing myself to be more childlike and be okay regardless of what is outside of me. Speaker 2: Right. Speaker 1: Giving yourself that permission. Speaker 2: And I think the result of all of this will create a happier life and you'll have a more productive life, Because I think child energy kind of marries with sexual energy and it helps create your reality. It you know, it drives. Speaker 1: It marries with all energies, oh I agree, I agree, I agree. Speaker 2: I was just using the examples, you know cause the, the creative energy Relationships, yes, totally Sex. Everything. Speaker 1: It changes everything when you go about it. Speaker 2: When you look at things as a child. And here's the funny part about it is there's actually a verse in the Bible that says come to me as a baby. Speaker 1: Wow, you're going to bring up Bible and sex all in the same podcast. I am, we're going heavy on this dude. Speaker 2: I know we're going in Really. And so now we've identified it, we've allowed it, we've conquered the fears of anybody else doing anything, and now we've got to stop and say you know what this is fun? Right, identify it as fun. Yeah, create the new definition . Speaker 1: Define it. Redefine it. Speaker 2: Yeah, once you allow yourself to do that and you start looking to everything as a child, it becomes more fun. Life is fun. It More fun Life is fun it is. It can be a blast. Don't let it stress you out. Be childlike. Speaker 1: Right, lighten up. Okay. So what would you say to somebody that's really in a tough spot, whose rent is behind , they can barely buy enough groceries, they go to a job every day that they hate and they say, well, that's all fine and good for you. Podcasters that probably have shit, tons of money in your bank and you're living it all. It's easy for you to say but in the crap hole that I'm in, how do I get there? How do I incorporate that? I don't feel very childlike. I feel depressed and down in the dumps and like I can't get out of where I'm at. What would you say to them? Speaker 2: I don't know You're the doctor. Speaker 1: Thanks for throwing me under the bus. I'm playing. I actually just said that yesterday. Speaker 2: I actually just said it yesterday to the tattoo artist, you know, because she's in that spot where she made a comment on the Friday the 13th. She's like, oh my God, it'd be so nice, I need money. Yeah, because I made the comment that you're a good tipper. Oh yeah, and she said she said I need the money because, you know, she's having to live with her parents and because she spent all her money paying for this apprenticeship, for this apprenticeship, and she's trying to live her dream. And then she's holding herself back and she's going back and forth. And what I told her yesterday was is you have to change one step at a time. And one step at a time, you have to give yourself the ability to follow your childlike thoughts. And when and I even said to her how did it feel when you signed up to be an apprentice? And I even said to her how did it feel when you signed up to be an apprentice, she said, oh, I felt like I was living my dream. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And I was like well, good, Continue to live it. Speaker 1: So let's break it down just a little bit further. Speaker 2: Okay. Speaker 1: What I would recommend, even if it's something small making baby steps, baby steps look like this you can go to the dollar store and you can buy a coloring book for pennies and a box of crayons . And if all you can afford to do , or all you can mentally find in yourself to do, is go buy a coloring book and some colors and color a page, that's a tiny baby step of practicing letting that inner child out. Speaker 2: I have two things on my desk. I have a little Hot Wheels car and one of the little things that you push down and it pops up. Speaker 1: Yes, yes, he does, and. Speaker 2: I was sitting there playing with it going the other day on like that Right. And I was sitting there playing with it going the other day on like that Right and one of the other department heads below us came walking, come walking in the office and like what are you doing? I was going, I was like um nothing. Speaker 1: I'm playing with my car. Speaker 2: And then what happens ? He sits down and picks up the little poppin' thing and starts playing with it himself. Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's I mean, whether you're male, whether you're female, going to the dollar store picking a toy out and getting lost and engulfed in just playing with that toy. Speaker 2: No matter what it is. Speaker 1: And, like I said, the coloring book is I don't like the color. Okay, so I mean, you pick something else. That's just what it is. Speaker 2: I have a Hot Wheels car Ring ring. Speaker 1: I make good sounds too, hot Wheels, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop pop. Speaker 2: I can do that sound. Speaker 1: And allow yourself, Even if you're not to the place where you can do it publicly find a few minutes. Speaker 2: Five minutes a day. Speaker 1: In a room where you section yourself off and you can do it in your own privacy and practice, getting completely lost in the moment of playing with that car. Yeah, and go back and visit. How did it feel to play with that toy, so that you can find the vibrational frequency of the childlike persona? Speaker 2: first of all, and you know what happens? Speaker 1: It grows it will grow , it will feed off of, because then what that'll do is that'll trigger a next memory of oh, you know what I liked playing with the slinky. So then you go buy a slinky I have a yo-yo too and you take the boxes or the books and you make a little slinky ramp. And next thing you know you're taking that five or 10 minutes to yourself playing with the slinky, making a whole little slinky ramp way. And next thing you know it's grown that energy and lining with that frequency has grown into you, waking up and realizing oh, you bought the sports car that you always wanted and you get in it and just go for a drive because you can. It's there's that childlike the fun behavior fun, exciting behavior, and it will just grow and grow and grow yep I agree, aligning with that vibration, that frequency will take you away from the negative or the lower frequency vibrations. And if you can figure out how to do that for a few minutes a day, that will grow 17 seconds, 2 seconds, whatever that is. Then tomorrow, when you do it again, it'll grow into 3 seconds , it'll grow into 14 seconds, it'll grow into 20 seconds. Speaker 2: You're sitting there going talking about the timeline of of it you can't interject your human timeline into it. You get a, you get this kind of let the energy grow as it will, yeah, and you, it could go fast , it could go, it could go slow. Right, and you have to be accepting of it and still stay childlike in it. Yep, and allow it to happen as your beliefs come up and you'll. You'll find that childlike situations will pop up because you're bringing that energy into your reality yeah, and why is that? Speaker 1: because the universe gives you back what you put out right, but also because you have to remember whether you're 14 or 20 or 50 or 80 at this moment in time when this podcast is going on. Whatever habits, beliefs, programs that you're running, that you want to modify, those have been running for how many years, right? How many years did it take you to sync those into place? Speaker 2: Subconsciously make them operate constantly. Speaker 1: And so you've got to give yourself space to realize that it may take a little bit for you to reprogram those and redefine things and work through it. Speaker 2: It can go fast. Speaker 1: It can. Speaker 2: But it may take time. Speaker 1: And be okay either way. Allow it to happen as it's supposed to. Yeah, be okay either way. Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is a good one. Hey, we're at one hour and 11 minutes. Speaker 1: It's time to close it up 1-1-1. Speaker 2: 1-1-1. You know the magic numbers. Speaker 1: Magic numbers. Speaker 2: Hey, it was a great podcast today.
