A Mindful Perspective
How to Stay Committed When You Don’t See Results
Discover how patience can become your greatest ally, just as it did for Mr. Beast, the top YouTuber who spent years honing his craft before achieving stardom. By embracing the long game, you can overcome the hurdles of slow progress, whether you're on a fitness journey, building a business, or pursuing personal growth.
In this episode, I reveal how to harness the power of self-improvement and shift your focus inward to achieve meaningful progress. We'll explore how to navigate through setbacks and understand that growth isn't always linear. With examples from therapy and creative endeavors, I highlight how a breakthrough often arrives at the moment you're about to throw in the towel. Together, we'll discuss the significance of enjoying the process and why sometimes a strategic pivot is necessary if your current efforts are not bearing fruit.
Discover the impact of understanding your "why" and how it can fuel your motivation when times get tough. Through a hypothetical scenario, I'll show you how linking your goals to a deeper purpose enhances your drive and commitment. We will also touch on the importance of accountability and the joy of celebrating small victories. By recognizing your achievements, no matter their size, you can maintain your momentum and resist the urge to seek immediate results. Let’s appreciate our unique journeys and stay committed to the vision of long-term success.
Hello everyone and welcome to A Mindful Perspective. I'm your host, nick Levesque, certified Spiritual Life Coach, and I'm here to share insights into my journey of mindfulness and self-discovery. Each week, we'll explore mindset, spirituality and personal growth to help you navigate life's challenges, with practical strategies and inspiring stories. Let's dive in. Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Mindful Perspective. In this week's episode, I want us to talk about how do you stay committed when you're not seeing the results that you're hoping for, and how do you stay committed when you're not exactly where you want to be or where you thought you'd be by now? Okay, so maybe you've been working on your fitness for a little while. Okay, that you've. You've been dialing in your diet, you've been hitting the gym consistently and you're not seeing the results that you're hoping for. It could also be that you are working on your healing and mental health, and maybe you've been working with a coach or a therapist, or you've been trying different kinds of healing modalities, but you're still stuck on something. Okay, maybe there's still something from your past that's haunting you, or there's just a narrative that you can't let go of. Okay, as you can see, this is a topic that can apply to a variety of different aspects of your life. It could be learning a new instrument. You're not seeing those results. It could be your business. It could be all sorts of different things. Okay, and I think the key thing is that oftentimes, even though we're not seeing the results right away, we're still making progress.
Speaker 1:Okay, and I think what's important to note as well and I think we all understand and know this instinctively but everything takes time. A lot of things take time and sometimes, in my personal opinion, I think that it takes longer than most of us are actually willing to admit and to accept. Okay, and I think a problem in today's society is this instant gratification culture. Okay, we want everything Now. We want results Now. We just want our business to flourish Now, maybe what we want to be an influencer and we want to have millions of views and downloads right away. Okay, we're forgetting about the long game and how important that is in anyone's success.
Speaker 1:Right, and I think that sometimes you know things like Amazon or DoorDash, right, I know these are very kind of like simplistic examples, but this is what I'm trying to say Okay, when we order DoorDash or skip the dishes or Uber Eats, we get that right away delivered to our door in under 30 minutes. Okay, we order a package from Amazon and it's at our door next day, or, you know, maybe not next day, but the day after two days or three day delivery. Right, it doesn't. Nothing takes a lot of time anymore. And sometimes I feel like that mentality can also intersect in our goals, right In just our everyday lives.
Speaker 1:And again, the point that I'm really trying to make here is that good things take a lot of time, and, I think, more time than we are willing to admit and to accept, like I was saying earlier. Okay, and the other thing about this instant gratification culture is what tends to happen is when we don't see these results right away, when we're not exactly where we want to be, we quit, right, we let go, we stopped doing what we wanted to do or what we were excited about doing, and that, to me, is very heartbreaking, because I think that this instant gratification culture has made it seem like, because some people have these overnight successes and some people do, by the way, okay, it it happens, it definitely does happen. But because some people get these overnight successes, or maybe they're making quicker progress in the gym, we think that we're doing something wrong and then it starts to kind of fall onto us right, what am I doing wrong? People don't like me, all these different things, right, and it's like no, it no, it's just that things take time. Okay, and I wanted to share a statistic with you that I found when I started podcasting. This just came to mind, actually, and you know, maybe this has changed a bit since then, but basically what the statistic said was that people that start podcasting 90% of podcasters will stop and will quit after episode three. Okay, and if you've published more than 21 podcast episodes, you are in the 1% worldwide. Just take a moment to think about that.
Speaker 1:For a second right, most people that start podcasting, 90% of people that start podcasting quit after three episodes. Three episodes is nothing, okay, and there could be a variety of different reasons that they quit, but I can guarantee you that some people quit because they think that they're not doing well enough. They think that, you know, because they didn't blow up or get millions of downloads right away, it's not worth it, okay, and it's like no, it's not that people might not even know you exist. Honestly, people don't know you exist. Right, it doesn't matter how much promotion you're doing unless you've already got millions of followers, but, like, I'm talking about someone who's starting from scratch. Okay, when I started from scratch other than word to mouth and just you know announcing on social media people didn't know I existed. Right, it takes a long time to do anything, especially a podcast, a YouTube channel, right, growing your business, everything takes time.
Speaker 1:And another example that I want to share is from Mr Beast. I don't know if you know him or not, but Mr Beast is, I think, the number one YouTuber in the world, okay, and he's got like 320 million subscribers. But I've watched a few of his videos and basically what he was saying was very simple it took him years and years and years before he got any recognition at all. Okay, and I was watching a video of him like two days ago and that's basically what he was saying. If you're starting a YouTube channel, the first 10 videos forget about it. You're not going to be getting views. You're not going to be getting anything.
Speaker 1:If you've got you know, if you've got no views, that's completely normal and that can also happen, essentially, for the first hundred videos as well, okay, but what's important is that with each video, you learn something and you add a little something, okay, you improve a little bit each day and you stay consistent, okay, and I think that is the key. The key really is consistency. But if we're being honest, right, we all know this. We all know that consistency is the key to everything. But consistency is essential. But consistency is not sexy. Okay, if we're being honest with ourselves, staying consistent isn't sexy, but it's really about those small daily habits and everything that you do, you're doing on a daily basis. That's compounding over time, okay, and it doesn't matter in what area that is in your life.
Speaker 1:So, if you're taking anything away from this episode today, I want you to take this Please don't give up. That's all I'm asking you is. Please don't give up. Maybe this is a sign from the universe for you. I don't know what I'm telling you is. Please do not give up. You started your journey for a reason. You started whatever it was, for a reason and just because you may not be seeing the results immediately, or maybe you're not where you wanted to be, I don't want you to give up, okay, because that's the thing People give up too quick, people quit too soon.
Speaker 1:But if you're not giving up and you're staying consistent, you are staying in the top percenters of people that actually have a chance to make it and then live the life that they're dreaming of, or, you know, whatever dream it is that you're dreaming of, right, so please don't give up, because that's the other thing as well. Right, a lot of times people will give up, but they're just on the edge of a breakthrough. Okay, they're just on the edge of a breakthrough, and this can be in anything in your life. Again, maybe you know, you're not. Maybe you're, you're in therapy and you're doing these therapy sessions, right, and things are, you know, are progressing. You're seeing a little bit of progress, okay, but you're not where you want to be.
Speaker 1:And then, in your 10th session, your therapist says something and boom, breakthrough, something you never thought about before, and you're like, wow, I didn't see it that way before. Okay, I didn't understand that before. Now I do. And now you start, you know, having this breakthrough moment of like aha, right, it's like, oh my goodness, oh, my goodness, right, that's a powerful moment, okay, and that applies to anything in life. Maybe it's your podcast, maybe it's the one episode that you do that releases that goes viral. Maybe it's the TikTok that you're doing. Maybe it's the art piece that you've been working on, your art, okay, and maybe you, you know, you sell that to someone and then someone shares and then, boom right, your art starts exploding. All I'm saying is that people give up too quickly and I don't want you to be one of those people. I want you to stay consistent and do it right, because that's the other thing. Right With healing, with your business, with anything else, it's not linear.
Speaker 1:Growth isn't linear, right, it goes like we, you know like it goes, like you know like it's. It's kind of like this if I had a chart, it's like a hospital chart, right? Nothing is ever linear. So it really goes, drops, goes up, goes down, it goes all around. Really, okay, and if you look at it that way and you think about it, about your goals in terms of you know years rather than weeks or months, you give yourself a chance, you give yourself room to breathe. It's like, again, if you're packing 40 years of trauma and you're like, okay, I need to heal this in two months, it's like you're stressing yourself out right from the beginning and you're not giving yourself any breathing room, you're not giving yourself any bandwidth here, and it's the same thing with anything else that you're doing. And again, with this analogy of the hospital chart that I'm talking about, this is what I mean. Setbacks are normal.
Speaker 1:Okay, doesn't matter what you do. Maybe you know you release an episode and it doesn't do as well as the others, that's okay. Okay, not everyone's going to resonate with you do and with what you do, and not everything you put out there will resonate. And not everything you put out there will do as good as you know, one of the videos that will. But it takes one video to change your life For a lot of people. That's what they say, right, like, one video changed your life. One episode changed your life, one business move changed your life, one something. Right, but as long as you're just keeping the momentum and that consistency even though consistency isn't sexy, that is what the game is all about, right, and that is what the long game is all about.
Speaker 1:And also, here's something I learned myself personally okay, because when I started podcasting or the gym or any longer goals that I've had like, I've been in the gym for, you know, 13 years now it took me years and years and years to get to the body that I personally wanted. Okay, and I remember when I started, I compared myself to everyone, right, everyone on social media, all these different things, and I've talked about this before, but even a few years ago, that's why I deleted social media, because I was comparing my life to other people. And here's the other thing the time you spend focusing on other people is time and energy that you're not investing into yourself, that you're not reciprocating onto yourself. Time and energy are the most valuable currencies that you can ever have and that you can ever give yourself. So, instead of focusing on what other people are doing, use that energy into yourself. Right, and focus on what you're doing and the goals that you have.
Speaker 1:Okay, and that, for me, was really a big change and a big shift. It's like, okay, I need to stop comparing myself to other people. I need to tune other people out and focus on what I'm doing. Okay, even if you know I'm not at my goal, where I want to be right now. Well, what happens if I am in five years? Right, it doesn't matter how long it takes. And I know again, sometimes we see, like these younger people, they blow up and they were like, oh, my goodness, what am I doing wrong? All these different things, right, but you're not. You're not necessarily doing anything wrong, and sometimes, after years of consistency, if something's not working, maybe we do need to pivot and I'm going to talk about that in a second and maybe we do need to pivot and change some things. But again, I think it all comes down to understanding that things take time, but if you truly enjoy what you're doing and you don't give up, I think you will actually be able to get the fruits of your labor, even though it takes you a bit longer than you're hoping for.
Speaker 1:So now, with that being said, I wanted to dive into some tips, right? So how do we actually do this? How do we stay committed when we're not seeing the results? I wanted to share a few things on my own journey that has really helped me with that, okay. So tip number one that I want to share is what is your why?
Speaker 1:Okay, I think that when you're starting a goal, or even when you're in your goal and you've been working on something for a long time, your why is key to everything, right? Especially when you're first starting out, when you're starting something, if you don't have a clear understanding of what it is that you want to do and why you want to do it, I think you're already setting yourself up for failure. If I'm being completely honest, right, meaning that as long as you've got your why why do I want to do this? Okay, and have a genuine intention behind why you want to do that, the what and the how they'll fall into place. You don't need to have everything figured out, but you definitely do need to have your why figured out.
Speaker 1:Okay, now let me give you a hypothetical scenario. Okay, let's say that you know, I'm a personal trainer I'm not, by the way, but like, let's say that I'm a personal trainer and I am talking with a client. Okay, maybe this. This client is a mother and she comes to me and she says I want to lose 10 pounds. Okay, that's great. Why do you want to lose 10 pounds?
Speaker 1:Well, okay, well, I want to feel better in my body, I want to look better. I want to, you know, be able to fit in the clothing that I wore 20 years ago. Right, beautiful goals, all good goals, but is there something deeper? Is there something deeper than that? Why do you want to be able to do all of those things? I get that you want to look better and such, but is there a deeper why, and then maybe you know she sits down and she reflects on it and she's like you know what? I have two kids.
Speaker 1:I want to be able to be in my kid's life longer. I want to be able to be active and healthy and fit, to also kind of show that example to them of what a healthy lifestyle looks like and also be able to be in their lives longer and be able to chase them down the street or play with them or do sports with them and activities. But to be able to show greater than yourself, right, which I think personally, when you're doing a goal and you're able to be of service to others, I think there's nothing more beautiful than that, right? So now, in this hypothetical scenario, this mother, now her goal is not only tied to looking good that's definitely a part of it, but the bigger part is her kids, right, and showing that example, okay, and showing that example of what a healthy, happy lifestyle looks like when you're healthy and then you know, taking care of their bodies and understanding that your body's a temple and to treat it properly, right. So again, now I'm saying this goal is not much greater than herself and is for her kids as well.
Speaker 1:So this is an invitation that I have for you is, if you're sitting here right now and you're listening to this and you're like, oh, my goodness, okay, hmm, maybe I do need to reflect on my why, why am I actually doing this right? Hmm, maybe I do need to reflect on my why. Why am I actually doing this right? I think that this is so important. Sometimes we do have the why, but your why needs to be very, very clear in why are you doing this right? Like, why do you want to start a YouTube channel? Or why do you want to start a podcast, or why do you want to start the business?
Speaker 1:If you're starting a YouTube channel, as an example, the only reason you have in mind is monetization and just making money and getting rich and famous. It's not that it's necessarily a bad goal, but it's just like is that? To me, that isn't really realistic, right? Because it's like okay, well, how are you of service to other people? Okay, I think that your goal if you're actually doing something that you genuinely enjoy, I think you're going to get there. But if you're only starting a YouTube channel and doing a bunch of different videos and such, just with the hopes of getting rich and famous and you're not actually enjoying what you're doing. Okay, not only are you doing a disservice to other people, but to yourself as well, because now, your, your why means nothing, right? So this, in my personal opinion, is so important.
Speaker 1:So tip number one that I want to share with everyone is what is your why? Tip number two is to embrace the long game. Okay, and I know we talked about this earlier, but I think this is a very important point. Okay, when I say this, it's about shifting our mindset from hey, I'm gonna do this in one week to this might take me a few months, or this might take me a year, or this might take me several years, and that is completely okay, because you're not comparing yourself to anyone else. Okay, as long as you're doing what you need to be doing and you're doing the right steps and being consistent, I truly believe that you will get to where you want to be, even though for you maybe it takes a different time frame, right? And even though for you maybe it takes a little longer.
Speaker 1:Again, that is completely okay, because there's no time that you need to be comparing yourself to anyone, right? You're never too late to start something. You're not too late to start something. You're not too old to start something right. And a lot of people maybe they're worried like, oh, I'm getting too old and I need to rush this. No, absolutely not. Okay, a lot of the great people only started their things way later in their life and they still were able to get the success and still able to achieve their dreams. So do not put a time frame or like a timeamp on your dreams, because that will, right off the bat, stop you from achieving anything. I can guarantee you that.
Speaker 1:Right, don't compare yourself to other people. Don't set a time, a specific time to when you need to do this, because then you're like, okay, well, you know, and here's the other thing. Obviously it's very good to have you know checkpoints and goals and seeing like, okay, what needs to change, what needs, what do I need to improve on, what needs to change, and having these little checkpoints. But if you're saying I need this done by this date and then you're at that date and you're not exactly where you want to be, well, if you start beating yourself up and then you're quitting as an example, then obviously you've lost. I don't think there's anything such as failure. Obviously, you learn from your failures, but as long as you don't actually quit, you're not failing. As long as the momentum is there and the consistency is there and you're doing all the right things, you're not failing. You're learning as you go and you're learning as you grow. This applies to anything in life. When you're starting meditation.
Speaker 1:This is something I've heard from many people, myself included. Sometimes I'll ask people have you ever tried meditation? I understand completely. Meditation is not for everyone. Meditation doesn't work for everyone, but a common response that I get is yeah, I try it once or twice, but I can't really sit with myself. My thoughts get all jumbled and I'm in my head a lot and it doesn't work for me. Well, a good meditation practice will take you a long time to actually get into, but if you're actually thinking that you're going to establish a proper meditation practice in two sessions, you can forget about it. That's not how it works.
Speaker 1:Meditation is something that takes a long time. No-transcript two years, three years, okay, it takes time. Anything takes time, right? So tip number two again is really this I find it so important it is to embrace the long game. Tip number three is do you need to pivot. Okay, do you need to change something? Now? This is very important because I'm a firm believer that, obviously, consistency is key and you know we're doing all the right things, okay.
Speaker 1:But if you've been doing something for a long time and you're really not seeing any results, okay. So, as an example, maybe you've been in the gym for a long time and you're not seeing any results, and then you're starting to get frustrated and discouraged. Okay, maybe it's time to take a step back, right and reassess what you're doing and reassess the situation. This is why I was saying, in anything in life, I think it's good to have checkpoints every few months or every few weeks, or it doesn't matter how you want to do it, but checkpoints to see, you know, how's your progress growing, what's working, what's not working, is there something that needs to change? Is there something that I can improve? You know, maybe it's trying to workout plan, maybe it's, you know. You know, finally, making the decision to hire a personal trainer, because maybe my gym goals aren't going where I want to be, as an example, okay. But again, it doesn't mean you quit, though. Okay, just because you've been doing something for so long and you're not seeing the results, does it mean that you quit? Absolutely not. Maybe it's time that you pivot, though, right, that's that I'm a firm believer in.
Speaker 1:Obviously, we don't want to be doing something 10 years with zero results, right? Obviously, we want some sort of progress, and a lot of times is we still progress? We still make progress, but we don't see it because we're so caught up in the progress of others, right? Sometimes and again this is what I used to do the comparison like we were talking about earlier is like okay, well, that guy just got a million downloads in a week. I got, like you know, 50 in a month, as an example. I'm obviously not making progress, okay, well, no, first and foremost, stop comparing yourself to the guy who's been doing this for 10 years. Right, you're on your chapter one, he's on chapter 10. Okay, start where you are. Right, you're on chapter one right now. If you made 50 downloads this month and last month you made 25 downloads, that is significant progress, okay, just because it's not a million does not mean it's not progress. So I think this is also why we need to tune other people out, because they cloud our judgment, they cloud the way we see our progress, right, and we start thinking we're not making any progress when we're making actually significant progress? Okay, and even though it's small steps, right, that's what compounds over time and leads you to greater progress over time.
Speaker 1:Okay, but again, if something's not working, maybe it's time that you need to step back and see what's not working and make a change. So, again, let's talk about coaching, for example, or therapy. Okay, like this you know, this is something I've heard before Okay, I've had friends where they needed to try multiple therapists before they got to the right one that can really help them. Okay, because you have to understand, especially with something in coaching and therapy as well, it's a connection that you build with the individual. Okay, and maybe sometimes it takes a few people to connect with to find the right one and be like Hmm, I really, you know this, this person has a really good understanding of me, we have a really good connection and I think this person can really help me. Right, and that's completely okay. But that's what I mean Are you going to quit your journey? Absolutely not. You're going to pivot. You're going to make the change that needs to happen, okay.
Speaker 1:Now the other part of this that I want to talk about is taking accountability, taking ownership and having a radically honest conversation with ourselves. If, as an example, we've been in the gym for five years and we say we've been consistent and we're not seeing the results that we want, take another step back here and have a radically honest conversation with yourself. Are you sabotaging yourself? Are you sabotaging your progress? Is there something that you need to not add but take out? If you're drinking every weekend and you're eating fast food three times a week and you're expecting yourself to have the body that you want and the health that you want, you're not having a radically honest conversation with yourself. This is what I'm saying Sometimes. It's not only about hiring a personal trainer or whatever, but it's pivoting as well and having that radically honest conversation with ourselves that maybe we're not seeing the results that we want because we're sabotaging ourselves, because we know that we shouldn't be drinking every weekend and we know that we should be eating the fast food every three days if we want to lose the body weight and we want to have the physique that we always wanted, the body that we dream of having, okay, well, I can guarantee you that partying every weekend and, you know, eating a bunch of fast food every three weeks or every three days isn't going to get you to that goal, right? So that's the other side that I wanted to talk about is, again, have that radical, honest conversation with yourself. So tip number three again is do you need to pivot? Okay, what needs to change?
Speaker 1:Tip number four is having an accountability partner, and I think this is so, so, so important and one of the most underrated tools that we can use with any goals that we're trying to achieve. Okay, when it comes to having an accountability partner, you want to have someone, obviously, that you can trust, that you can rely on and that will, you know, be there for you when you need it, okay, and that will keep you accountable is what I'm trying to say, and my coaching personally is revolved around accountability. Right, obviously, we've got our one-on-one sessions, but also, what's important in anything that you're doing, especially healing, right? Especially in your healing journey, it's also not only what you do in the sessions and showing up, obviously, that's important, but it's what you do outside of those sessions as well, right? That's extremely important.
Speaker 1:So let's say, you know, I had a conversation with a client. She had a very heavy week. We dove into some very heavy topics, okay, and this week or in the past week, she really didn't go outside. She didn't really. She, you know, she neglected just exercise and such right, I'm going to make sure that that week right, one of the kind of assignments if you will will be that, hey, are you going out in nature this week? Right? Are you? You know, did you hit the gym this week? Right? Most of my clients go to the gym. They do some form of physical activity, because I'm a firm believer that the mind and body go hand in hand. And when it comes to healing trauma, when it comes to healing yourself, obviously physical exercise is so important. Connecting with nature, going outside, getting fresh air, is so important, right. So sometimes but sometimes again, we can get into our heads lots of different things. So we, we kind of neglect those things, right? So obviously I'll keep her accountable. Like, hey, I'll check in with her every week, like I do with all my clients. Hey, did you do that thing this week? Right, and oftentimes what they'll do is they'll send me screenshots. Like, hey, I'm outside, hey, I'm in the gym, all these different things. Hey, I'm reading the book this week, whatever it is that they're doing, and just having that accountability, right.
Speaker 1:Having someone that's holding you accountable to something I think is literally the most important thing and the fastest way you can get to achieving your goals, okay. So this could be applied to anything. If you're someone that's starting your fitness journey, okay, and you really want to stay committed, but you're having trouble staying committed, then get yourself an accountability partner, someone that you can trust. Maybe it's your friend, maybe it's a sibling, right, and you're saying like, hey, I'm going to text you every day a picture of me in the gym, okay, and if you're not texting as an example, well, they will text you saying like, hey, I didn't receive any pictures of you in the gym today. Did you go to the gym? Okay, and they can also check in with you.
Speaker 1:You obviously set the accountability on your own terms and how you want to do that, but having someone there for you that you can trust and rely on to hold you accountable is a shortcut, in my personal opinion. So tip number four again, is to have that accountability partner. Tip number five is to celebrate the small wins. Okay, and this really comes back to what I was saying earlier. Sometimes we get so caught up in other people's progress and their wins and all these different things that we forget our own. Okay, that is so important not to figure it our own, no matter how small it may be. Okay, just because you didn't get a million downloads doesn't mean that you're not making progress, right? Like I was saying earlier, if you know, the last month you had 25 downloads and now you've got 50 this month. That is a huge, huge step, right, and that's worth celebrating.
Speaker 1:Maybe you do something for yourself. Maybe you pump yourself up. You're like, yes, you know, I'm so happy, I'm so proud of that. Maybe, you know, you treat yourself to a nice coffee, I don't know. Whatever, it is right. Little little steps into your path. Those are so important.
Speaker 1:Maybe you've just been stuck in bed all week. Okay, you've been stuck in bed all week. Maybe you've had something happen. You're sad, you're not feeling well, something's going on in your life, okay, and you just can't get out of bed. Moments, right. And then all of a sudden, you know, after two or three days, you get up, you take a shower, you eat a little something, you go outside and have a little walk around the block.
Speaker 1:What a big win, like seriously I'm being genuinely honest here what a significant win that is especially if you've been caught in your bed for three days straight. Okay, that is worth celebrating. Maybe you come back inside and you're like oh, I feel good, I'm so happy. Maybe you go and you take a nice warm shower. Or maybe you go and you make some hot cocoa or tea or whatever it is that you want to celebrate with. But that's completely okay. You do not always need to have a million downloads to celebrate something. So really think about that for a second. How many small wins have you had recently that maybe you're not thinking about and maybe you're forgetting when you start stacking those up over time?
Speaker 1:That's a lot of in my own journey, right In my own journey. It's something that I talk about with clients as well, but they generally helped me stay committed when I'm not seeing the results that I'm hoping for, because, again, I'm looking at this from a long-term perspective and not a short-term perspective. So don't let this you know instant gratification culture fool you into thinking that you need to have everything figured out by tomorrow, because you don't. So, that being said, that's all I've got for you guys on today's episode. If you did like the episode, please feel free to leave a comment or review, share it. It really helps bring awareness to what I'm trying to do, which is really kind of, you know, spread this podcast on a broader scale to really help people just navigate everyday life challenges. So, again, with that being said, I hope you have a good week and I will catch you guys next week. Thank you,
