Welcome to Eat Well, Think Well, Live Well; the podcast for women who want to lose weight, but are tired of counting and calculating all the food.
00:00:11.323 --> 00:00:12.882
I'm your host, Lisa Salsbury.
00:00:13.272 --> 00:00:18.932
I'm a certified health and weight loss coach and life coach, and most importantly a recovered chronic dieter.
00:00:19.542 --> 00:00:25.483
I'll teach you to figure out why you are eating when you aren't hungry, instead of worrying so much about what you are eating.
00:00:28.315 --> 00:00:29.006
Hi, everyone.
00:00:29.036 --> 00:00:36.235
I have a super fun show for you today, but before we get into it, I just want to remind you that, you know, Thanksgiving is next week.
00:00:36.445 --> 00:00:42.716
So if you haven't listened to handling the holidays, which is episode 15, I know you'll get a lot out of that.
00:00:42.716 --> 00:00:44.795
So don't forget to go listen to that.
00:00:44.854 --> 00:00:56.554
Also, don't forget when you share the podcast, just like a screenshot to your stories while you're listening here, tag me in that, and I'll send you a gift card to Starbucks, no limit on that.
00:00:56.554 --> 00:00:59.445
So anytime you do it, I'll buy your drink for this morning.
00:01:00.234 --> 00:01:00.655
Okay.
00:01:00.865 --> 00:01:06.894
I have Andrea Hanson on the podcast today as my guest, and we had such a fun time with this one.
00:01:06.894 --> 00:01:13.034
I actually laughed several times out loud as I was editing this one because we laughed a lot.
00:01:13.305 --> 00:01:19.064
I tell you some of my terrible inner thoughts, and it's also just really informative and inspiring.
00:01:19.844 --> 00:01:25.305
Andrea is a master certified coach and works a lot with the inner critic that we all have.
00:01:25.605 --> 00:01:26.174
She does.
00:01:26.174 --> 00:01:43.724
So primarily with those that have autoimmune illnesses, but I don't want that talk at the beginning here as she's introducing herself to put you off from listening to this show because her work is totally applicable to all women, especially to those of us trying to make changes to her health.
00:01:44.084 --> 00:01:46.784
And that is why I invited her here on the show.
00:01:46.784 --> 00:01:47.144
So.
00:01:47.474 --> 00:01:50.174
Without further ado here is our conversation.
00:01:52.634 --> 00:01:53.414
All right.
00:01:53.504 --> 00:01:57.043
Uh, I just wanna welcome Andrea Hansen to our podcast today.
00:01:57.043 --> 00:01:59.983
So we are gonna start with an introduction from,
00:02:01.233 --> 00:02:01.864
Hi Lisa.
00:02:01.864 --> 00:02:03.453
Thank you so much for having me.
00:02:03.459 --> 00:02:05.733
I'm really excited to be here and talking to everybody.
00:02:06.153 --> 00:02:11.253
I am a master certified life and mindset coach.
00:02:11.354 --> 00:02:18.704
I am also an author of two books talking about positive mindsets and living with a chronic illness.
00:02:18.764 --> 00:02:24.674
Um, my books are Live Your Life, Not your Diagnosis and Stop carrying the weight of your ms.
00:02:25.033 --> 00:02:29.204
And I just, a few months ago recently started a, my podcast.
00:02:29.463 --> 00:02:30.933
Live your life, not your diagnosis.
00:02:30.933 --> 00:02:42.424
Where I talk to people who are living with a chronic illness, but doing amazing things with their lives to show that having a chronic illness does not mean that your life has to stop at all.
00:02:42.903 --> 00:02:43.503
That is awesome.
00:02:43.503 --> 00:02:43.954
Thank you.
00:02:43.954 --> 00:02:47.283
Oh, like what kinds of chronic illnesses do you highlight on that show?
00:02:47.873 --> 00:02:49.854
A lot of them are autoimmune.
00:02:49.913 --> 00:02:56.403
So I have multiple sclerosis, which is an autoimmune disorder, and a lot of people that I speak with ha, I mean, there's.
00:02:56.493 --> 00:02:58.294
So many different autoimmune disorders.
00:02:58.294 --> 00:03:13.954
That's not necessarily narrowing it down, but the idea is not that it's necessarily a specific chronic illness, it's just the idea of a chronic illness is specific in itself to where it's a diagnosis that often has no cure.
00:03:14.688 --> 00:03:24.679
But is something that we can work on both, you know, medically and holistically and naturally, and calm our bodies, calm the symptoms.
00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:29.808
And it's also something that we have to always keep at least one eye on because as life.
00:03:30.463 --> 00:03:33.003
It goes, Some things are gonna be stressful.
00:03:33.003 --> 00:03:34.354
We're gonna have things happen.
00:03:34.359 --> 00:03:40.623
As you know, life is, and we always have to keep an eye on, okay, how is this affecting my health?
00:03:40.954 --> 00:03:42.484
How is this going to affect my health?
00:03:42.484 --> 00:03:49.294
How do I need to moderate what I'm doing or what's going on on our lives to make sure my health stays okay?
00:03:49.294 --> 00:03:53.313
So it's the idea that with a chronic illness, you're always.
00:03:53.709 --> 00:03:59.528
Taking an inventory of what's going on with your life and looking at how you can minimize that stress.
00:04:00.054 --> 00:04:00.503
Awesome.
00:04:01.010 --> 00:04:27.769
Well, one thing that drew me to Andrea was her work on the inner critic, and I know with my clients, This comes up a lot because I work with those that want to lose weight, and so we often talk to ourselves horribly because we feel like this weight, it's all quote unquote, our fault, and so we're very, very critical of that.
00:04:27.769 --> 00:04:30.108
So let's jump in with that.
00:04:30.139 --> 00:04:34.139
Tell us how you define the inner critic and where does that come?
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.581
So I define the inner critic as really that.
00:04:39.750 --> 00:04:44.130
It's within that ecosystem that we all have in our minds, right?
00:04:44.130 --> 00:04:55.831
That that dialogue that we have going and what we're saying to ourselves, and sometimes it's something that's totally normal, like, Oh, I need to figure out what.
00:04:55.946 --> 00:04:57.565
I'm gonna have for dinner tonight.
00:04:58.045 --> 00:05:05.935
And sometimes that dialogue says something like, Oh, I better make sure I don't eat pasta because that's gonna make me fat Right?
00:05:05.935 --> 00:05:06.266
It's
00:05:06.286 --> 00:05:06.766
mm-hmm.
00:05:06.836 --> 00:05:20.146
sometimes it's just normal dialogue and sometimes it comes in and says things that are horrible and not even necessarily true and mean, and make us feel just deflated.
00:05:20.295 --> 00:05:24.596
Deflated, I want, I'm meant to say, deflated and defeated.
00:05:25.047 --> 00:05:36.401
And so sometimes our dialogue is just gonna be something that's normal and sometimes it's gonna be something that's really horrible and really mean and it's just going to make us feel defeated.
00:05:36.961 --> 00:05:39.872
And so that is when the inner critic comes in, right?
00:05:39.872 --> 00:05:44.041
The inner critic is that voice, I like to call it the inner mean girl.
00:05:44.721 --> 00:05:45.331
mm-hmm.
00:05:45.377 --> 00:05:48.406
that voice that is, it can be anything, right?
00:05:48.406 --> 00:05:54.137
It can be repeating something that we heard when we were five from our, you know, teacher.
00:05:54.166 --> 00:05:59.687
It can be repeating something that we just read somewhere on the internet, and we think that's true.
00:05:59.687 --> 00:06:08.057
It can, it can be saying all sorts of stuff and it plays on all of our, uh, insecurities and things that we're worried about.
00:06:08.872 --> 00:06:25.492
it's a voice in our head and it's a way that we talk to ourselves that often we have talked to ourselves like that for quite a while, and so we don't even necessarily realize that it is something that's happening because to us it just sounds normal and it just sounds natural.
00:06:25.851 --> 00:06:34.031
And it's not until we really look at it that we can tease out and realize like, Wow, I'm saying some really mean things and they're making me feel.
00:06:34.677 --> 00:06:35.456
Really bad
00:06:35.877 --> 00:06:36.487
mm-hmm.
00:06:36.716 --> 00:06:38.276
or really upset
00:06:39.177 --> 00:06:43.437
So sometimes you're saying it just is like the regular inner voice.
00:06:43.466 --> 00:06:50.156
We don't even realize how awful it is because we don't realize other people don't talk to themselves in that way.
00:06:50.156 --> 00:06:54.266
Or maybe that other people are having a different experience in their brains.
00:06:54.596 --> 00:07:04.377
Yeah, I mean it's, it's the regular dialogue that we have in our head and sometimes it can get really, really mean and chances are other people are doing it too, right?
00:07:04.617 --> 00:07:07.947
I think everybody can relate to.
00:07:08.137 --> 00:07:13.656
Talking to ourselves in a way that we would never talk to somebody else.
00:07:13.867 --> 00:07:15.576
Like I say things in my head, right?
00:07:15.576 --> 00:07:19.742
Like I say things in my head that I will never say to my friends, and I think we can all relate to that.
00:07:19.831 --> 00:07:22.172
And that is your inner critic.
00:07:22.232 --> 00:07:24.362
That's, that's where that's coming from.
00:07:24.362 --> 00:07:28.771
And as far as the origin of the inner critic, that's something.
00:07:30.326 --> 00:07:32.096
A lot of people have a lot of different theories.
00:07:32.096 --> 00:07:36.471
It depends on what, type of psychology you're seeing it through, right?
00:07:36.476 --> 00:07:38.961
What lens of psychology you're looking at it through, right?
00:07:38.961 --> 00:07:41.302
Some people say it's your ego.
00:07:41.307 --> 00:07:42.411
Some people say it's your it.
00:07:42.411 --> 00:07:45.048
Some people say that it's Different parts of your brain.
00:07:45.048 --> 00:07:51.257
I mean, there's so many different, you know, it's your lizard brain, It's, there's so many different ways to say where it came from.
00:07:51.737 --> 00:07:56.507
I think that it doesn't necessarily matter so much where it comes from.
00:07:56.507 --> 00:08:03.348
It just matters that it's there and what you're saying to yourself and that you can change it.
00:08:03.858 --> 00:08:04.278
Yeah.
00:08:04.908 --> 00:08:17.778
I sometimes think it comes from, and this, I mean, like you said, there's tons of different theories, but I often think it comes from that need to belong that we all have as part of our dna because we.
00:08:18.408 --> 00:08:23.747
really come from tribal ancestry, which is how the human race existed for so long.
00:08:24.017 --> 00:08:26.867
And we have this strong need to belong to the tribe.
00:08:27.228 --> 00:08:33.378
And so if someone doesn't like us, then that's certain death if you get kicked out of the tribe.
00:08:33.918 --> 00:08:39.375
And so I feel like some of that inner critic comes from making sure that we're liked.
00:08:39.738 --> 00:08:41.447
And so it's like, Don't do that.
00:08:41.447 --> 00:08:42.197
Don't do this wrong.
00:08:42.197 --> 00:08:43.038
Don't do that wrong.
00:08:43.248 --> 00:08:44.118
Don't look like that.
00:08:44.118 --> 00:08:45.048
Don't be like that.
00:08:45.467 --> 00:08:46.038
And.
00:08:46.717 --> 00:08:50.408
I wonder if it comes somewhat from that need to belong.
00:08:51.143 --> 00:08:51.832
Absolutely.
00:08:51.832 --> 00:08:53.842
And that's that lizard brain, right?
00:08:53.873 --> 00:08:57.023
That's our social self taking over.
00:08:57.173 --> 00:09:09.923
That is the ego that wants to make sure that we are accepted and we are doing things that are socially accepted so we don't kick, get kicked out of, like you said, like of the group.
00:09:09.923 --> 00:09:14.062
Because way back when that meant literally that we were.
00:09:14.456 --> 00:09:16.017
Gonna be eaten, Right.
00:09:16.022 --> 00:09:16.581
Right.
00:09:17.096 --> 00:09:18.297
whatever is chasing us.
00:09:18.746 --> 00:09:20.246
Uh, so yeah, I think it does.
00:09:20.246 --> 00:09:28.057
I think it's this idea that we need to conform either to societal norms, or to health norms.
00:09:28.517 --> 00:09:33.797
it can come from something that we very much want for ourselves.
00:09:33.797 --> 00:09:36.047
It can come from a very good place.
00:09:36.047 --> 00:09:41.206
It doesn't have to be, Oh, well, I have to keep up with the Jones's and so I'm gonna be mean to myself.
00:09:41.206 --> 00:09:46.157
It can come from a place of, I know it's really healthy for my body, for it to be.
00:09:46.892 --> 00:09:55.652
You know this way, or I know it's really healthy for me to not eat cheesy poofs or soda or things like that, right?
00:09:55.652 --> 00:10:09.032
It can come from a good place, but then it can get twisted into, if I have another can of soda, I'm gonna have a, you know, a heart attack and this is gonna happen, and why can't you stop drinking soda?
00:10:09.032 --> 00:10:11.011
And what's wrong with you that you can't stop drinking?
00:10:11.011 --> 00:10:11.731
So, Right.
00:10:11.731 --> 00:10:12.991
It can spiral
00:10:13.682 --> 00:10:16.711
It's the what's the, what's wrong with you statements.
00:10:16.741 --> 00:10:18.991
I think that are some of the worst.
00:10:19.381 --> 00:10:19.871
Yeah.
00:10:20.312 --> 00:10:32.371
But Yeah, when you're talking about food and thinking about what you're going to eat, and especially, I notice this a lot too with getting people that are quote unquote, getting into the gym, getting back to exercise.
00:10:32.965 --> 00:10:38.544
They think like if, if I'm not hard on myself, Then I won't do it.
00:10:39.115 --> 00:10:41.934
Or they think I, I have to be hard on myself.
00:10:41.934 --> 00:10:49.164
I have to think that I'm wrong in some way, that my body looks wrong, that I, you know, behave wrong.
00:10:49.615 --> 00:10:51.355
And that is what's motivating.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.054
If I love my body, if I love myself, I'm not gonna be motivated to do anything.
00:10:57.054 --> 00:11:03.085
And so they think that keeping up this mean dialogue is what's motivating.
00:11:03.414 --> 00:11:03.774
Right.
00:11:04.090 --> 00:11:11.919
We know as coaches that is completely untrue and possibly the exact opposite of the truth, but why?
00:11:12.190 --> 00:11:21.740
Why do we continue as women especially to think that being so hard on ourselves is what's motivating us to get healthy,
00:11:22.129 --> 00:11:29.029
Yeah, and I think It's a very layered answer because on one level, this idea of tough love.
00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:44.659
Has very much been a part of our culture for a while, and the idea that I've gotta be tough on myself because I want this good thing to happen, and it's something where we can see short term.
00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:50.840
Gains, like sometimes this tough love approach to ourselves, right?
00:11:51.289 --> 00:11:57.379
Go ourselves or, or you know, making ourselves not be lazy and get to the gym.
00:11:57.409 --> 00:12:04.399
Um, with this example, sometimes that works, but the thing is, it is not gonna work long term
00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:06.590
Yeah, that's a short term solution for
00:12:06.664 --> 00:12:07.129
Yeah.
00:12:07.129 --> 00:12:16.580
And so really what we all need, you know, more than how long you work out at one time or even necessarily what you're doing.
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.259
We need that consistency.
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.899
It's the fact that we're doing it.
00:12:20.615 --> 00:12:27.634
Every day, every other day, whatever it is that you're, you know, you wanna do, it's the consistency that matters.
00:12:27.965 --> 00:12:45.544
And so, even though tough love can maybe motivate you, if it's something that you react to in a good way that can get to you, to the gym for the first month, two months, or whatever, it's not going to work for the consistent changes that you need for lifestyle.
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.230
It's just not gonna work that way.
00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:50.960
And so we see that it works short term.
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:57.590
And then because really on that deeper level, it doesn't make us feel good.
00:12:57.830 --> 00:13:04.039
It doesn't make us feel motivated in a loving, energetic way.
00:13:04.803 --> 00:13:05.823
That's not gonna work.
00:13:05.828 --> 00:13:07.956
And we start to see ourselves drop off.
00:13:08.985 --> 00:13:14.660
And then we go into another cycle of being mean to ourselves of, Oh, why can't I keep up with this?
00:13:15.051 --> 00:13:16.461
Why can't I keep doing this?
00:13:16.461 --> 00:13:17.571
Why can't, Right.
00:13:17.571 --> 00:13:18.260
And that just,
00:13:18.951 --> 00:13:21.171
again, with the, like, What's wrong with me?
00:13:21.456 --> 00:13:22.296
What's wrong with me?
00:13:22.296 --> 00:13:22.625
Right.
00:13:22.625 --> 00:13:29.405
So we think it works and it might work for some people short term, but it's not gonna work, I promise.
00:13:29.405 --> 00:13:31.566
It's not gonna work for a long term thing.
00:13:31.956 --> 00:13:38.826
And as far as why do we go there with the tough love, I think again, I think it's something that is baked into our culture.
00:13:39.066 --> 00:13:43.416
It's something you see, like how often do you see like, Especially going to the gym.
00:13:43.655 --> 00:13:48.846
How often do you see personal trainers doing things like boot camp and like, Let's go.
00:13:48.846 --> 00:13:52.505
We've gotta do this and, and it's a big problem, so we've gotta attack it.
00:13:52.505 --> 00:13:58.265
And I think it just kind of, it, it folds in with the, Let's go, let's go.
00:13:58.265 --> 00:14:01.385
And, and like, I had a trainer, what did he tell me?
00:14:01.806 --> 00:14:04.206
He told me Sweat is weakness leaving my body.
00:14:04.355 --> 00:14:04.926
That's what he told
00:14:04.926 --> 00:14:05.826
Oh, Oh dear
00:14:08.225 --> 00:14:18.125
But that can be a, a big part of that culture and we think that that's what we need because everybody that has these bodies and has this fitness level that we want.
00:14:18.966 --> 00:14:20.676
Seemingly are like that.
00:14:20.735 --> 00:14:23.765
So why can't we do that with ourselves and make it work?
00:14:23.765 --> 00:14:32.735
And so it's just, I think it's something that happens with this inner critic is not all of our thoughts are ours, right?
00:14:32.735 --> 00:14:37.686
Very few of our thoughts are unique to us and created by us.
00:14:37.806 --> 00:14:38.916
A lot of times.
00:14:39.186 --> 00:14:40.686
Our mind will just.
00:14:41.556 --> 00:14:48.816
Pull in thoughts that we hear from other people and other things, and we think it works and kind of adapt it to us.
00:14:48.875 --> 00:15:04.596
And so I think a lot of times if you looked at the mean thoughts that you had in your head, a lot of times, like when I'm talking with people and working with them on this, and they'll have, they'll be looking, I'll have them write them down, write down their thoughts, and they'll look at it and they'll be like, Oh my God, that's not even mine.
00:15:05.056 --> 00:15:07.635
You know who told me that my gym teacher in third grade told me that
00:15:08.350 --> 00:15:08.701
Oh, no,
00:15:08.985 --> 00:15:11.535
you know, like I can't believe I've had this in my head the whole time.
00:15:11.535 --> 00:15:23.745
But a lot of times our brain just kind of takes on other people's thoughts and other thoughts in our society that we hear, and that can be another, another reason for it, I think.
00:15:24.750 --> 00:15:33.691
On top of that, I think it's just, if you wanna go even deeper, I think it's just the idea that women are harder on themselves than men are.
00:15:33.990 --> 00:15:40.350
And women see in society that society is harder on women than it is on men.
00:15:40.831 --> 00:15:51.240
And so we internalize that and we, again put it into our thinking and our mindset, and it turns into being quite mean to ourselves.
00:15:51.301 --> 00:15:53.490
Much meaner, I think, than most men.
00:15:54.421 --> 00:15:54.870
Yeah.
00:15:55.530 --> 00:15:55.831
Yeah.
00:15:55.831 --> 00:16:00.600
And thinking that we're just gonna motivate ourselves by being mean.
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:07.650
It really is kind of a form of willpower, which I always say is so similar to a muscle in that it fatigues.
00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:09.990
It fatigues over the day.
00:16:09.990 --> 00:16:20.071
It's why we rarely eat an entire chocolate cake for breakfast, but sometimes find ourselves doing that after dinner because that if we're just depending on willpower.
00:16:20.671 --> 00:16:25.350
which is to me a form of this inner critic, which is, you better do this.
00:16:25.681 --> 00:16:26.760
Hold on tight.
00:16:27.331 --> 00:16:31.530
It's, it's not a really kind way of looking at yourself.
00:16:31.561 --> 00:16:34.350
And so that willpower, it wears out.
00:16:34.350 --> 00:16:48.961
Whether it wears from, from morning till evening, or like you said over the month of, say, going to the gym, that willpower of getting yourself there by virtue of just being so mean to yourself, it's just gonna tire and.
00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:52.740
It's not a problem that willpower doesn't work.
00:16:52.951 --> 00:16:56.191
You just have to be fueled by a more positive emotion.
00:16:56.535 --> 00:16:57.046
Right?
00:16:57.076 --> 00:16:57.466
Yeah.
00:16:57.471 --> 00:17:08.715
And, and I think that when you have a better way of talking to yourself, when you have a better dialogue, that will encourage energy.
00:17:09.895 --> 00:17:18.090
And there's nothing wrong with willpower, it's just that it's not meant for things like diet working out.
00:17:18.211 --> 00:17:18.421
Like
00:17:18.615 --> 00:17:21.016
Not for long term success.
00:17:21.121 --> 00:17:25.260
that's just not what, it's what really the best way of using willpower.
00:17:25.651 --> 00:17:30.691
Um, and so when you change the dialogue, one of the things that.
00:17:31.361 --> 00:17:41.020
my clients say when we're doing this work is how much more energy they have, because you really can wear yourself down because these mean thoughts in your head.
00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:43.810
It's not like you're doing it in isolation.
00:17:43.816 --> 00:17:52.570
It's not like if you're sitting down and thinking about, Okay, I need to work out, and in that moment is when you're mean, but then all other moments, you're fine.
00:17:53.111 --> 00:17:54.280
That's not how it works.
00:17:54.286 --> 00:17:56.171
It's these mean thoughts.
00:17:57.385 --> 00:18:00.076
Running through your head constantly.
00:18:00.080 --> 00:18:03.955
They're like in the background, like you're not even really aware that they're happening.
00:18:03.955 --> 00:18:10.435
It's kind of like when you wear clothes, like when you wear your shirt, chances are you don't feel your shirt right now.
00:18:11.185 --> 00:18:15.655
It doesn't mean you're not wearing it, it just means that you're so accustomed to it and so used to it.
00:18:15.655 --> 00:18:18.476
You just don't pay attention to it because you don't need to pay attention to it.
00:18:18.955 --> 00:18:20.425
And that's the way our thoughts are.
00:18:20.605 --> 00:18:28.556
So as we have these thoughts, and a lot of times they're the same ones over and over again, and they're these mean thoughts that are creating emotions when we think them.
00:18:29.800 --> 00:18:36.941
But they're running in our heads and we're so used to them being there, we don't even really pay attention to them, and they just kind of run on this loop.
00:18:37.510 --> 00:18:51.490
And so that is constantly giving us little pings of feeling depressed and feeling upset and feeling deflated and all of these little things, and that robs energy.
00:18:52.605 --> 00:18:59.722
So say your client then, or any of our listeners are feeling that twinge of depression.
00:18:59.722 --> 00:19:11.333
Of course this isn't for clinical depression, but if we're just having a down day and we're like not really aware, could it be that constant dialogue in the back of our heads that we're not really aware of?
00:19:11.782 --> 00:19:17.613
And secondly, How do we become aware of it so that it can be changed?
00:19:17.613 --> 00:19:28.923
Which of course we don't wanna constantly jump to our, what we call in coaching, our intentional model, which is our intentional thought and feeling before we're really processing what's happening.
00:19:29.252 --> 00:19:34.923
But over time we do want to have a a different intentional thought.
00:19:34.923 --> 00:19:37.472
So how do we kind of make that switch?
00:19:38.285 --> 00:19:46.744
I think the first thing to really be aware of is that these thoughts are not unconscious thoughts, right?
00:19:46.744 --> 00:19:50.194
We're not completely unaware, never to be aware.
00:19:50.194 --> 00:19:54.005
It is very, very easy to become aware of what we're thinking.
00:19:55.994 --> 00:19:58.924
just has to be something that we pay attention to,
00:19:59.825 --> 00:20:05.734
I have to say, this is something I've been struggling with myself, I've noticed like a really flat affect lately.
00:20:05.734 --> 00:20:11.075
I've noticed I'm just kind of like depressed that like where I'm like, what is happening?
