It's just, how do you find your way through it? What is that?
15:38
So, if I were going to answer that question...
15:43
My starting point would be find your space, find your quiet space and start imagining the life that you want for yourself, regardless of how ridiculous that might seem for you, because your reality doesn't have to make sense to the rest of the world, but it has to make sense to you And that's what I would tell you to start.
16:16
Just start imagining a life outside of the mess that you're living in.
16:26
And the moment your energy changes, at the moment your perception changes, slowly your life starts changing.
16:35
And then one day you notice, oh my word, look at that, my life changed, wow.
20:31
Was it cathartic to write down what you were going
20:34
through? Oh, God, 100%.
