Hello and welcome to Clean your Fucking House Bitch with Nancy, kevin and Lou. In our program we get real about the challenges of life and living. Your mind is the most powerful tool you have to ensure you are on your desired path for success and satisfaction. Yet from the day you are born, you gradually and subconsciously fill it with tons of useless shit that gets in your way. Why is that? How can you clean that mess up?
Speaker 2:We'll show you how. Get ready to clean your fucking house, do it. But here I am talking to you, um, so we were chatting again. I don't like the fact that we always say the same thing every time, but it's like true, right. So we were chatting and, um, nancy was asking me about, um, kind of some carryover habits and stuff from last year when I did 75 hard and some of the elements that I incorporated into that I'm doing now, which is like healthy eating, not drinking more exercise, and she was just asking open-ended questions and then reflecting back to me, basically open-ended questions and then reflecting back to me basically, kind of like, what is the concept or philosophy behind the success that I feel like I've had?
Speaker 2:And my response was that I feel like it just takes awareness and being conscious, especially in moments when you have decisions to make, and I think a lot of times we will make decisions that are habitual and we're not always conscious. I think for me it's a lot of that has to do with with food and my diet. Like I know what I like, which is basically everything, and when I'm in an environment where I can taste things that I enjoy tasting, I want to do it. So it does take a conscious effort to hold back from consuming the food that doesn't align with what my goals are. So in that way, I feel like it takes a level of consciousness and awareness to make decisions that create more delayed gratification instead of immediate gratification, if any gratification.
Speaker 2:You know, if you're eating something that isn't igniting those receptors of pleasure when you're consuming it, are you getting any gratification from eating like maybe your appetite's going down, you're feeling full? That's maybe a comfortable feeling, but it's not the same right. But I know that what I'm doing aligns with what I'm working towards. So then I guess, yeah, you feel a sense of accomplishment when you make the right decision. You know little celebrations. What are you guys thoughts?
Speaker 1:if only those foods that were bad for us, like salty and sugary foods, didn't taste so good, then we'd have no problem.
Speaker 2:If we didn't have like taste buds, we'd be all good, right, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it would literally just be an exercise After a while.
Speaker 2:they don't taste so good.
Speaker 3:Like I've been in this space where I've gone back to foods where I was like, why did I even enjoy it? I don't now right. So it feels good once you make transition and and we all slip backwards sometimes, right, and slip back and go. I don't crave that anymore. Thank goodness I had it, cause I don't want it.
Speaker 2:A lot of our cravings come from our gut biome, right, yeah? So when we change our eating habits and start consuming different foods, I guess we build up the environment in our digestive system to then send more cravings for the foods that we're consuming more. So if we're eating like shit a lot of times, that's why we crave those same exact foods swears.
Speaker 1:Some foods definitely changed in terms of quality and even tastiness, which is why I don't need them anymore versus the fact that what you shared, nancy, is we just like, get disgusted by them, which I agree. It's almost like when you eat chocolate cake and you eat too much, you go oh, this is disgusting, I just don't like it anymore. I lost its appeal and with me that happens quickly with chocolate cake maybe not with everyone, but a really heavily chocolate cake I'll probably have half of slice and all of a sudden I'm like I just can't take anymore. But I swear to god, mcdonald's, I think, has just really gone down with their quality and even their taste, because I'm sure when I was a kid it tasted much better than it does now it couldn't.
Speaker 2:It couldn't just be getting older. You know it's gotta be there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do. I refuse to believe it's because I'm getting older and I just don't like it anymore. I'm like I swear to God, it just tasted much better when I was a kid.
Speaker 3:I have two things to share with that. My first thing is, lou, I'm gonna tell you, because you're in the Chicago area, the best McDonald's I've ever ever had. I used to fly through Chicago regularly as a stopover. The best McDonald's is in that airport because it's fresh, it's hot, like if McDonald's is going to be good at all, that's what's going to be good, and you told us you have to travel, so if you're going to be in the airport, just get to McDonald's Best ever.
Speaker 2:I feel like you're quite the enabler right now, nancy, I am. I feel like you're quite the enabler right now, nancy.
Speaker 3:Well, reality is. But then, like, if you're listening to us today and you're like what is the topic they're talking about? What are they talking about? I just want to cycle back. I think we're talking about Kevin said it the concept behind success, and it's different for everybody. And it's different for everybody. But was stuck out to me that that Kevin said was I'm more conscious. He said conscious at all times. That's a high bar to to set yourself towards right, like conscious at all times. This sounds monk-like.
Speaker 2:Have you looked at me?
Speaker 3:That's, we won't go there. I did. I've made my own comments earlier, but in talking about, you know, the hooded man, being conscious at all times, not overthinking, sticking to his intentions being something I scribbled that I can't read but being true to yourself, or being honest and real about what is important to you, these, these are the things, they're concepts that contribute to one's success. So just drop in the topic there and let the conversation continue.
Speaker 1:You know we also talk about moderation and that comes into play with food, particularly that you know it's not so bad. Well, and Nancy, you also brought this up as if you do eat something you feel you shouldn't have, don't uh, uh, uh, what's the word, what's the phrase? Beat yourself up over it. You know, move on, it's not worth it, it go on to the next.
Speaker 1:But it is certainly possible to say well, and not that you're going to plan to do it, but if I'm going going to eat something, a snack or in between meals, that I shouldn't, really I'm going off my diet, whatever, literally portion it out. You know, um, if you take the pringles can and let that sit there while you're taking one chip at a time, you know darn well that can is going to be empty at some point. But if you take a stack of I don't know eight or nine chips, take them out of that can, put them in a plate, put that can away, don't bring it back. Lock up that drawer if you need to. You know, I think there's certainly it helps to portion things out in that way and in. I've also read, and I'm sure you both know how water is such a great way to fill that empty space of hunger if it's coming from a point of hunger until mealtime.
Speaker 2:So you know what?
Speaker 3:Down yeah yeah for that for possibly true, but it also feels like and this isn't at you lou at all, but it's like nobody wants to hear that. Right, that sounds so hard. Yeah, that sounds hard which part? The water part of the pringles part yeah both just pretend you don't have a craving and you're just gonna. The Pringles is easy. I could eat a can, but the water, the water is hard.
Speaker 1:It is, and I think, like I keep a plastic bottle of water near my desk, I think when something is right there it's easier and quicker and we're more apt to use it or do it.
Speaker 1:Or you know, since it is right there. And I think, as I shared with the Pringles cans, the same thing if the can is sitting there, you're more apt to want to keep grabbing a chip. But if you take a few out, put them in a plate and put the can away, you're probably less apt not always, but less apt to want to go back and reopen that can With the water. When I went from having it in the fridge like I would finish my coffee in the morning and not have the water out, and I would find that I'm either not drinking any or substituting sometimes bad foods when I would feel hungry. Not all that long ago I started putting the water bottle out and I found myself drinking that the water and not grabbing for that Pringles can or other snacks as much. Now, it doesn't mean I don't grab for them every now and then I have, but I am grabbing less, so at least it's a move in the right direction.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like it depends on the person, right, and we always say like you have to try different things to see what figures out like what works better for you. Because the moderation thing for me, I think, is way more difficult than like elimination. If I tell myself I am not doing this, and most of the time I set a date where I can, I don't know if that's the right thing. It's like you're kind of working towards when you're going to allow yourself to do it. I haven't gotten that far ahead, I'm kind of living day by day. But yeah, for me it's like if, like even fasting and not eating is easier for me than trying to moderate eating things that I want to eat. But you know what I mean. I feel like once I taste something or I have it in front of me, like it's way more difficult to stop and say no. Who eats a few chips out of a Pringles can, by the way, like not me, Not me.
Speaker 3:I try to do what Lou has said and I don't always do this, but I try to recognize what the portion is, the label on the container of whatever I'm eating, and if that is 14 chips or you know where, I put them in a wooden bowl and put that thing away. Do I go back Sometimes? Yeah for sure, but does it help me eat less, more and put that thing away? And do I go back sometimes? Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2:But does it help me eat less, more often of that thing? Yeah, you know, what I think can be helpful with moderation though that has worked for me is if I'm very if. If I plan out the next day ahead of time or the week like plan my meals out completely, then it's like this is what I'm doing. It's just so much, especially with like food. I feel like it's so much, so much emotion goes into food. You know what I mean so much about lives and cultures is surrounding food. So if you plan that out that way, I think it's just really difficult. When you're like having a craving and then you're trying to be like, oh, I'm only going to eat this amount of chips, but they're right in front of you and they're not like weighed out or separated and you got the whole thing right there, it's just really easy to be like one more, one more, yeah for sure.
Speaker 3:You just reminded me of another thing. I do not to be about nancy's habits today, but um and again not always, but some mornings I will lay out on the counter what my mid-morning snack can be and an intention of what my lunch is. Sometimes pull it out, sometimes don't. And if I come in since I'm working from home, like the kitchen's there if I come in, since I'm working from home, like the kitchen's there if I come in and I want to go to the cupboard, I want to go to the fridge, then I can tell myself if you want that, eat this thing you put on the counter first, you know, and at least reduce the amount of the cookies or whatever that I'm going to dip into, because I ate the bag of nuts or the hard-boiled egg first.
Speaker 2:What happens if you're the type of person that can like eat unlimited Because I feel like that's me, like I could just eat. I'll eat that snack. I'll eat that healthy snack, then I'll eat. That's obviously not doing it longer than my thoughts. That's my anxiety right there.
Speaker 3:I'm just like eat until I'm too tired to even worry about shit here's the try to do intention, and that is to your point, because I might eat that bag of nuts and eat that hard building and be like I still I'm hungry or I'm mentally in whatever state I am and I want something. I try to then recognize okay, your body is wanting something. What would be the best thing to give it? Instead of pulling out the worst thing, try to then just give it the best possible thing in that moment. And if it's better, if I'm hungry at night, that I eat a protein bar so that my body is full and the cravings subside, even if I've had dinner, that's better for me than the crap I could eat in ice cream and cookies. So I try to make the best alternative out of it if I still feel like there's a mental reason or a physical craving to eat.
Speaker 1:I think if you can't do the moderation thing, or if that's very challenging or you actually find yourself just gobbling down an entire bag of cookies or chips or whatnot, then I would argue for not buying that stuff at all. I mean, that's a situation where don't even have it in stock and grab, you know, have apple slices or something else on hand, because then you're like, well, if all I got are these damn healthy apples, I might as well eat them.
Speaker 3:I don't have my favorite cookies here, but maybe, maybe lives alone and so there's no one else in the house who has. That's a good point.
Speaker 2:That's a good point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that's an excellent thing, but I will say, growing up, one thing I do not drink, it's just. I don't stock the apartment with booze. The fridge does not have beer. I just do not drink, and even when I go out I rarely drink.
Speaker 1:It's just not a part of me and that is really in large part due to my upbringing, where my mom divorced my dad who was an alcoholic, and actually domestic abuse was part of this whole equation. She chose, after she kicked his ass out, to not have any liquor in the house at all, and we kids were still very young at that point. So we naturally just developed a tradition. I don't know what you would call the word, but just our upbringing was such that it was normal to not have liquor in the house, whereas as I got older, other folks would find that strange and they would be like no, it's normal to have, you know, a bottle of wine on hand or whatnot for company, and I'm like well, you know. The other thing is, I don't have a lot of company on hand or whatnot for company, and I'm like well, you know.
Speaker 3:The other thing is I don't have a lot of company, so no wine needed, but you know, even when I do water juice, I have plenty of other beverages yeah, I like the strength that your mom had and the habit, or just the comfort that it gave the rest of you to just know that it's okay to not have yeah, to this day I kind of still stick to that tune, only because it it's again been so ingrained is this the first time that we've talked positively about lou's family?
Speaker 1:you know, mom has instilled a lot of great habits. She even was not a smoker, so none of us us smoked, which, well, I shouldn't say that I did have one sister and one brother who smoked, but I just don't know where you know how they would have started. It must have been peer pressure at school or something.
Speaker 2:I'm liking the positivity.
Speaker 1:We'll have to bring them on for a guest sometime. I'm sure everyone everyone listening's been waiting yeah, I know when when what's the date yeah, yeah, yeah, boy, that'll be an episode for the ages kevin, can we?
Speaker 3:well, can we go back to both of you, because I'm again? I'm going back to what you said in the beginning to be more conscious at all times and not overthink how? How did you not overthink? How did you just come to the realization that you need to make a choice and move forward and not get stuck in that moment? And I'm sure that happens multiple times a day? Right, let's be real.
Speaker 2:Let's be real. I think what's worked really well for me is getting up really early and doing things that help me to subside any anxiety or worries that I have. So for me that's like physical activity, like first thing I do. I wake up and I go work out or whatever. I have noticed, the more that I do that, the more of a difference I feel when I get that activity in versus when I don't and like I have, you know, a pretty high demand, um, sometimes stressful job that I do, and so, like no matter what, I'm gonna have work to do and it's gonna be non-stop.
Speaker 2:And when I wake up and I go through with that, even if I don't feel like it, I just feel so much better. And when I don't, I'm like feeling so bogged down and anxious about a lot. So I think step one is finding that right. And then you know about the meditation and the cold showers and the breathing exercise and all that stuff, like all of those things. I think getting that in it allows me to kind of stay centered right, because I'm a I've always been a chronic overthinker and I think most people would probably describe themselves as the same right mind's always going, always thinking. So I think all those things.
Speaker 3:In general, support you, but bring it to the moment when you're at that place where you catch yourself overthinking and you want to stop so I don't.
Speaker 2:It's not so.
Speaker 2:Oh, just overthinking in general, or like when I'm faced with a decision and need to and want to make the right decision both, either one um, well, I think if it's something that you know, it depends if it's in my control or not, because if it's in my control I can take action to try to minimize whatever thing is going on. If it's out of my control, then it's, you know, just kind of trying to create some space. I feel like I always go back to the breathing, like so, in the morning it's the workout, throughout the day it's the breathing, because that's something that I can do anywhere. No, I have to do to live Right, but the way in which I breathe, um, you can always create that space for yourself. Give yourself 10, 15 minutes, you know, activate the parasympathetic nervous system and come back feeling not 100%, but hopefully better.
Speaker 2:For me that works. As far as decisions that I am making, it's more of having an understanding of what is to come. Again, things within your control or not within your control, but knowing what's ahead and having that intention and an understanding of what I'm planning on doing and then trying to stay committed to whatever that plan is that's a lot of big cool concepts there and just being able to take a step back and take a conscious breath, like you said, a conscious focus.
Speaker 2:I think dialing it back, going inward helps, you know, because it's a lot of it is always going to be stimuli externally. So when you can kind of just pull it back and even like thinking like big picture sometimes really helps, which is so difficult to do when you're like so involved in doing things that we do in this culture, especially for like work or relationships, whatever. So taking a step back and realizing like what are we doing here, like who are you, type of thing, like big, big concepts, and just remembering how tiny the majority of our problems and stresses are, really not like a big deal Feels like it for sure. Absolutely Emotionally it's like holy shit, so big, but in the big picture it's not. And so sometimes I think feeling small can be helpful, not putting all that pressure on yourself. Letting go can't control everything. If you're doing the best, you can just do the best you can Be a good person, be nice to others, uplift others. If you're doing the best you can just do the best you can.
Speaker 3:Be a good person, be nice to others. Uplift others, if you can that's a cool thing to feel sorry, luke, to feel small, which no one's ever said before, that I think I've heard and just be okay with who you are, where you are like. I think of myself sometimes as speck in the universe of all the things that are going on. But be okay with being a spec, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's actually. I mean that really talks on so many fronts, because with jobs in particular, we think about our next raise, our bonus, a promotion with a bigger title. I mean there's a lot of things that a lot of folks think about and which you know, I remember at some point going oh that's why it's called the rat race. I mean it literally is a rat race and it's like you know, just take a step back and, like you said, just do what you're doing, let kind of things happen on their own. But also know that, well, if I don't get a promotion or I don don't get that race, what's going to happen? Like the anxiety usually creeps in when we think that the worst possible thing might happen.
Speaker 2:It's so funny that this conversation went in this direction, because when we were chatting I was like I had a topic in mind but I didn't know how to really express it. But one of the more impactful things that's happened to me like this week is working with somebody and this person's undergoing like a lot of change good change, but it's a lot. I think they realize that they're just like really trailblazing mentally about future and there's so many unknowns that can happen in a day, let alone a week or a month. So if you get too far ahead of yourself, sometimes it can.
Speaker 2:you're creating that, so to speak, maybe not intentionally, but you're creating that environment mentally for yourself and it's like are you saying creating our future based on no, like creating the, the anxiety of oh gotcha too far ahead, right, letting those thoughts play out in these imaginary scenarios, based on whatever data we do have, and we think this way, but we don't know for sure. So again like pull it back live in the moment.
Speaker 1:Like you said, life can turn on a dime. I actually have a few of my coworkers One recently just announced her retirement coming up in August. I'm like what the heck? I don't even think she's 59. And maybe she'll be 59 and a half in August, I guess, because that's, I think, the earliest you can do something without being penalized in some way.
Speaker 1:But I'm like what's going on? And we had a chat and she was just like my husband had a heart attack, he underwent surgery but a whole new perspective on life. I have a child, who's going to have a child, so I'm going to be a grandmother. I mean, she just went through all this stuff and my knowing her, which I've known her for I want to say probably 20 years, if not more. I learned the most about her in that 10 minute discussion than I have in the entire 20 years, because that entire 20 years was always work, work, work, work, work. And she is the type of person as I am. I will share that. I don't share a lot about myself at work To me. I'm working, I'm there to work, I just want to work because maybe in some ways I'm also that anxiety thing. I got to get stuff done.
Speaker 2:If.
Speaker 1:I chit chat, it's going to make me more anxious and I'm going to freak out because stuff ain't getting done. So I just tend to not talk about personal stuff. But we had that conversation and I thought, wow, that's probably why she is sharing more, because she's like I'm going to retire and I had this experience happen to me, so I'm not worried about that project with that deadline going on, because life is too short. I'm like, wow, it's just a side of her that I had not seen before. That was refreshing to hear.
Speaker 2:That is like a really good point, and I know we focus a lot on the things within our control and that situation with her husband. It's like out of our control to an extent. Maybe like certain behaviors led to having an issue, maybe not, but was it a conscious decision to have this perspective shift of like what's really important? Because sometimes people that go through traumatic experiences might go the other way of like then worrying and living in fear of something happening and not wanting to do too much and you know so awesome, that's great. But I think that goes to show that the awareness that we talked about, the subject of the topic or success I don't know you coined it, nancy but the awareness or the consciousness can be useful in a situation like that where something happens outside of our control. And how do we utilize this experience and this trauma that we're feeling, or grief or whatever it is? How do we overcome that and become a better person, a more experienced person from that, instead of allowing it to negatively impact us?
Speaker 3:There's a lot in that question, because that includes stepping back as well. She's stepping back in life, as some people might see it, to actually expand her life, to come and opening up the guardrails of what she can spend her time doing, versus being in these narrow guardrails of what she's been able to spend her time doing.
Speaker 2:I don't know, from my vision but it's, I'm sure, like it seems like priorities shifted too. Yeah, that daily grind is not worth the time that you have with loved ones or going out and experiencing the world, or you know. So again, I think, yeah, taking a step back, because when we're buried neck deep and stuff and we're just doing things that we think we it's the best thing to do and we're making money, and you know you get bad news and you don't have much time left, I think a lot of that kind of changes. You know you get a year left to live and then, yeah, what are you going to do with that time?
Speaker 1:yeah, I remember when I was in early in my career and of course you both as I think our listeners or our regular listeners know that I'm a numbers person and I worked with numbers people and early in my career, a lot of the side conversations with work not of a personal life nature because, again, that just wasn't stuff I shared, but oh, I have my 401k. Just wasn't stuff I shared, but oh, I have my 401k. How can I best select my funds to optimize my, you know my retirement money? And ooh, I have you know this going on and that going on.
Speaker 1:And what age am I going to retire? Like we'd put together Excel spreadsheets and shit like that just to map out the next 40 years of our lives. And, and you know part of me, I think at that age just thought, oh, that's the way it goes, whether in the numbers world or any world. I just thought that's how it goes in life and never factoring in. But what if I have factoring in? But what if? What if I have an accident and I'm impaired? Or what if, you know, a loved one has a heart attack or whatever?
Speaker 2:I mean just don't think about that. Even beyond the what, what about the why? Why is this what we do, right? I think that might even be more important. Lou, you're all about the why. You know, why are we doing the things that we're doing? Why do we prioritize those things over other things? And I think that?
Speaker 1:why is what shifts when something happens? A lot of what I read and granted this may not be representative of the entire group, but a lot of what I read concerning Gen Z is they are asking why at their age and I'm like, wow, you know, no one would be asking why when I first started out, and I'm sure the boomers didn't, and the ones before them, which I think is the silent generation, but even the millennials probably are closer to gen X as opposed to gen Z in terms of their why do I have to put in 50 hours a week and that's considered normal versus 37 and a half or whatever you know? Why do I have to want a promotion or manage or whatever? You know? There's a lot of and I will give them a lot of credit for instilling changes in the workforce. You know, covid aside, that forced us to work from home. I give Gen Z credit for keeping us at home because a lot of CEOs were like, ok, covid's a done deal, now Back to the office. We go and the Gen Z folks are no, we can get our work done from home. Maintain a work from home environment. That forced a lot of the older generations who were the folks running companies to rethink that whole model.
Speaker 1:But again it almost was like a generational shift in thinking by asking why that created the change we see now it's very interesting.
Speaker 2:A lot of changes and I was thinking about that yesterday like why is it? And I think, like from a spiritual perspective, like people are waking up to things and a lot of shit doesn't make sense but then also access to information. I was thinking about this today too, actually, but like, like the more information that you gather, the more that you're experienced. Like you're able to learn about different cultures or different types of history that you're not taught in school. Like we have all this access to information and it's like you learn about different things and certain things are going to resonate with you more than what you're taught in the education system, or learn from other cultures over the culture that you're in. So I think a lot of that also factors into the why.
Speaker 1:Yeah, certainly Like that's just how it's done, type of like old school mentality doesn't fly anymore yeah, I agree, and you know, I mean not that this topic, it's like nancy says, sometimes we get so off topic but that's, uh, you know, I guess the beauty of our, of our show is the whole.
Speaker 1:You know, as I was just myself thinking more and more and more about the whole, what kids are taught in school and a lot of this discussion around, say, indoctrination um, I I don't know what they're taught now versus what I was taught. I just can only look back to what I was taught. But I also think, my goodness, could they have fit in with the amount of time we spend in school, all this stuff that I would have loved to have learned, like maybe it just couldn't logically fit into the you know six hours a day.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, it could have fit.
Speaker 1:Are you?
Speaker 3:sure we could have traded out for it. Yes, there's things we could have traded out for it. Yes, it could fit. I believe it could have. Should have fit.
Speaker 1:Well, I think there's trade-offs, Like I would rather have learned about this versus maybe learning that. But I just think there's so much information that I just don't think and I would love to learn it all, quite honestly, and that's how I felt when I was younger but I just don't think there was enough time. So somebody designed whatever darn list of things that they're going to teach kids in different venues you know back in the day and certainly still to today. But yeah, you know who's. It's great that we have all this information now and that we can at least learn about other things off to the side. But yeah, it makes us question and maybe that's, maybe that's why the younger folks are doing that, questioning and asking why, because I didn't have access to all of this other stuff.
Speaker 3:There's more awareness. I mean, some of it's happening in their homes because their parents are more aware, so they're having conversations about what's okay, what's not okay, and it makes sense, you know, and and some of it is being taught in schools and I still think it's not enough, but there's space for it. Well, goodness, you know like we jump around all the time and in this we hit what's most important that we're experiencing for ourselves in the moment and we always want to believe. So hold on to this hope that one element of something we've shared is meaningful to those of you who are listening to us. And today it sounds like asking yourself why, making sure you're questioning yourself on. Are you supporting your own really values and reasons why? And making conscious choices, not being subconsciously maneuvered through your life for the day or the week?
Speaker 1:and you know. Looping back to what kevin said earlier, why is even key to what he shared about habits and amount of food we eat and whatever. Literally take that. If you take that pringles can out, look at and say why, why do I want this damn, these damn chips? Honestly, I can answer. I can ask that question myself. I don't put them back there you go.
Speaker 3:Hopefully that'll wrap help uh.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Ask yourself, ask yourself why Great what ended. Thank you for joining us folks. We hope you enjoyed this episode and found it both educational and entertaining, as always. Bye for now.
