Nobody sees uncertain times as because you don't know what's gonna happen then. Actually, you should just aren't there more stuff that you do because you never predicted. And after that's quite quite cool, because this is a complete flip on uncertain times. Sounds like a really bad thing because it's uncertain times. And because you didn't know this was gonna happen you because you didn't know what was most outcome then you might as well just starts trying stuff that you've never tried before.

Thiss is talking to my friend. Welcome to talking to my forced to wear open

spk_1:   0:41
conversation about things that my name's Simon A S J Video create off formal on DH business. My name is Craig Riviera, Eh, Mr Positive I'm a cheesy motivational, unique perspective of a person and solution at the same time way are also thankful to be joined by our guests today who is create a course. So obviously, in this podcast, we bring a unique perspective on our inner force by literally pre recording the things that are on our minds before talking about them amongst the group. Now we do this because we believe before you could be open with others, you first have to be open with yourself. Essay topics can range from love, money, family work, our emotions, absolutely anything that drives us to become the people that we are today. So you already know that the possibilities are going to endless. Make sure you guys stay up to date and follow us on our socials and connect of us and all of our major broadcasting platforms at talking to my faults. So today's topic is about isolation on DH living a life of uncertainty. Now isolation is essentially defined as the act or process or instance of being isolated and to separate yourself from office. Now, in a few words as possible, we'll start with Craig. What comes to your mind when we talk about isolation, loneliness, nice, cool, then your force,

spk_0:   2:29
A feeling of being trapped, maybe

spk_1:   2:32
trapped loneliness. I think for me when I think about isolation, I also think about like separation, though I think that's my main word is being separate from the world essentially, and I think that's what isolation means to me s O before, since we dig a little bit deeper into obviously where those words, how we kind of associate ourselves with those words and obviously isolation. We're gonna kick off our 1st 4 which is gonna be from Craig Craig. If you get your phone out, we're gonna have a listen to what you think about isolation on DH living a life or uncertainty. Six

spk_2:   3:14
weeks month, six weeks. I'm 10 years I've been in isolation, at least for me. Going on a little bit longer than others. But, man, six weeks? Yeah. I mean, like, I know I'm insured. I really didn't think I would have to be into a violent death every day I'm waking up on. Actually, I live alone. So because you live alone, it means that well, there's nobody around you, nobody to give trouble. You in your space. Nobody, too, I guess. See, too. When you felt that you just gotta take care of yourself or ship, but on get on with life. But even being introvert, I really do miss my friends. I do miss my family. I do miss. I guess the freedom as well. I do find myself getting down a bite sometimes thinking where could he go for another six weeks? 12 weeks, maybe longer. When would I be able to see them? When would I be able to go out to ST Lucia? Diesel? Things that run from my mind honestly, like that couldn't be given legal crazy crazy. And it could probably paralyse me is all, in a sense that it would just make me feel so down. I wouldn't want to do anything funny enough. These last six weeks have actually being really powerful for me. You know, when you say you always need time for you to figure things out and give us all time to learn this and do this, Yeah, you really utilise that time. It was kind of like a fight or flight kind of thing where I got point isolation from injury and then actual isolation actually locked down happened. And then it was like, Okay, are you gonna do now? Are you just gonna mope around or you're gonna actually do something about it? My mission, for myself, to myself, is literally just to ensure that I can come out of this better than I was before because this is our opportunity to utilise. This time was given. All we have now is time and opportunity. So my main mission has kept me going and wakes me up on keeps. My days moving forward is to basically ensure that I finished this season. Whenever it's over, thrive in better, stronger whatever it is I do miss my friends when I think to find a future, I do miss the things that we could be doing. I do miss just some better interaction going out in the freedom. However, I won't let that track me. I won't let those forts be my cage. I'll basically allow myself Teo grind while we are way are in this place. So yeah, I'm definitely missing people. Yeah, Yeah, you could say I'm going crazy. Even speaks to myself, as you can see now, but I know that I could come up with that after this. And then it's gonna be a lot to celebrate because it would have been a lot I achieved Boom, boom, boom.

spk_1:   6:31
Wow. Um, picked up a couple of things when actually, he was quite interesting. I know you've been I mean, for all of us is it's AA experience and a challenge that none of us have really faced before. So everything that we were almost going for at the moment is is new, and it's like there's not really a blueprint on how to get for it. I guess we're all kind of living it to give him a ll tryingto and make it work as best as we can, um, on on me. I mean, obviously, what you're what you're feeling is going to resonate with a lot of people, including obviously myself. I'm sure dental as well It's different because obviously you said that you're alone. So it's like the feeling that you have and maybe the Yngve, eh? You go through on a day to day basis and how you try and move it yourself. It's gonna be a lot different because it's only you two kind off. You gotta rest on your own shoulders, obviously, for my side of things off. What? I've got people with me, I've got a family with me is war. So it is still going through certain emotions. What's easier because you have other people to lean on. Um, one thing that I picked up from this when he was talking about feeling that use paralyses what? I was interested. I don't Obviously you meant that as both physically and emotionally because ofthis area before the whole lot belle situation happened us going for injury anyway, So you may have felt paralysed in that sense. Well, how did you What kind of the thing that has kept you going in and motivated you offer, then just obviously thinking about the future and what you're gonna do once we get get out of this rock. What's what's kind of your main driver for kind of getting through this? I'm interestingly enough, um, something else I've been talking to quite a few people, but is that actually I can genuinely say off all the people that are pretty close to me for my parents, my family and even my close friends actually doing okay at this time, I congenitally whole lemon love people who you would be worried about. Usually, you know, some people are damned if they're gonna call because normal life was already hard enough or, um, they may not adapt Very well. They let you bean like yeah, been you lies in this time pretty well. I've been using it pretty fishing. I'm feeling pretty good on Don't know. We're going to get out of this and that has been refreshing was usually would think there are a lot of people are gonna be down and you just go over. You go cheque in on them and you are obviously every person you cheque into It is a bit of energy you used, but these people have actually been not nice being good. How you doing? No, no home. And they just flipped the script. They get to cheque on me now, and that's being really refreshing. So again, there's a lot of things have been taken away from us. But to prevent the paralysing effect of thinking that life is all over things can't go on is the fact of the woken up. I'm healthy. Other people I care about healthy on DH. Thankfully, Steven son years also Sometimes, while you're you're grateful force going on the sunshine is so honest that I just ugh God, you've done that now And that's and that's that's the small thing that I think that has actually kept me going. And we always want these bigger things. They want to be on holiday where you wanna go Somewhere on a pyre, you wanna buy some people to go out. Then you just gotta bring it all the way back to the smallest thing and be like, you know why I'm alive. You know what? I have money or have food or something that has I think it was given a really good perspective as well. For me and probably for other people is what to realise. You don't need much for you to actually just make your life keep going on, not just keep going. Actually be in a good place to be happy. Actually. Smile about something. I laugh about something. It's the smallest things. A nice Yeah, that's what's really kept me going.

spk_0:   10:13
Well, I have a second relate because I'm also a loners. Or so I'm going for the everyday process of Yeah, we cannot know if there was a plane, but the first, maybe two weeks were for, like, miles living the same day over and over again. And you just like, if I can move, you were just thinking Brock on God's side again. Thank you is crazy. And then so I can relate to the fact of being alone and on literally apart from seeing my mom. I've really seen anyone this heart this entire time so I can get to that. And also I really tio, he said about being an inch of it on DH. Still finding it. I still find it tough in struggle at times because naturally, people think no one comes to the situation at this or interest will be fine. They used to Dennis. And while there's a level of used to that, maybe adoption, the adaptation is no, that's just it is someone who is a social butterfly with a time. It's still that's your introvert by choice, you know, introverted because you're trapped or you're locked in. Or, you know, if you wanted to go outside, you could go off. But we're in a situation now where that's not advisable to anyone so even, and he basically takes away the bad because people think are introverted means you just can't stay with people. Not really introverted means you enjoy your own company, enjoy their own space, and you get on well in your in your in your habitat. But however you stone in the level of balance outside, on with people mingling, that's tough to maintain a little battle right now. Offering everybody is really on balance. Um, but why take away from It was always just the fact that we're all grafted together. You know, it's not black. It's just freed that isolated and everyone else is out there having fun where or grafted together. So I commit toe very much. A lot. Most of the things he said off C times that leisure, sir. I can imagine how tough days the only time I get to see my mom is this. Basically, I go shoppin, drop the food and the game comes out sprays everywhere. In this exact thing going, I think very time I see Mom. Really? But yeah, minuses. That's a crazy time. Never. We may never go for it again. And one of those once in a lifetime things that we're just gonna have to hopefully get free and say, Yeah, I remember them. Townsend back in 2020.

spk_1:   12:35
Your mom's you much spray up the air when he's giving me. Not in today's

spk_0:   12:42
matter, she's probably on it, but I don't mind that at least I know that whether because I'm not there and she's being careful in E. I mean taking precautions and stuff. So

spk_1:   12:52
last fearful man. It's a good thing. Obviously, as you said, we're going for it to give him. We got support. Each other is what the end of the day and I mean, I get It's interesting because I guess it links back to Craig what you were talking about when we was talking about word association on the word that you picked out was loneliness, right? And it's just so relatable, obviously went to one of my isolation, how you connect it to loneliness, and you're thinking, obviously we're at the moment you're home alone. Your families know you've been in the country or your parents are not in the country. So how you're coping with it, But again, you're looking at China. Look at the bright side or life and thinking, You know what? I woke up today. I'm alive. I'm healthy. My family's OK. That's funny. Shine in black. Fair enough. We'll go go through this, but what do I really have to complain about in it? We don't have to complain about right now. Everything's everything's not go into hell, scoffing, at least not from from your world, where you're at home and you're safe. So I think That's the That's the blessing. And that's the important thing that just be grateful for what you do have. Um, yeah, well, carefree together, man. So obviously, if you're if those things are feelings that anyone else is feeling, it's just about being Khun B. An opening and communicating with the people closest to you is what if you do feel that way, maybe it's just a case of reaching out to someone. Reach faith. Time is on my phone, and someone on just tryingto again have a sense of normality. It's important for mental health is Well, you don't want to be cooped up in your house, just wondering, when am I gonna get out? Because I'm an introvert, too. So I I in some respects, I I don't mind staying in as much. But then there is limitations, too, as a potential said, the just a case of, you know, we just ain't gonna last forever. We got pushed touch on the one piece which I said about the paralysing Yes, I had did have injury which was physically paralysed, and however, what everybody could probably relate to is the fact that you feeling you can't do anything while you're indoors because it feels like you're isolated, trapped and in a cage when in reality, actually, there's so many other things you stalk can do. But your mind's Khun trick you into believing that you can't do anything. So you're technically your mind is the one that's paralysing your literally just laying there, just waiting for the world to just open up when really it's actually like now you could actually still watch TV. You can still cheque on people you can still what you can still do. Of course, you there's so many things you can still do. But because there's, ah, illusion off like a lack of freedom, you feel that everything's everything's been taken away, not just a little bit. All of it has been taken away. So yeah, that's the That's the level paralysis. And for me, it was just when I went for the physical side of not being able to do what to do. I knew, like a storied American Storey. Listen to books. I know I could watch the movies. I knew I could play some games, but because I was physically just not feeling it, it just leapt into my mental state and then asset. And I think that was a great analogy for me to go for that. Because then it comes into the hole locked down. Yes, it feels like what was unable to do anything. But actually there's so, so much we can do. So the minders, again, this is very, very important thing to take care of and assess what is going on. So, yeah, that was destined. Nestor has to keep trying. Wicked cool. All right. Well, Lissa, let's move on to my verse voice now and then we'll follow up with the discussion man, Let's go. Isolation live

spk_2:   16:16
in life in uncertainty. I mean, for anyone is gonna be difficult off course, but for me at least, I'll take it as an opportunity, especially when you don't know what's around the corner. How can you really plan in the same way that you you have done for the most for most of your life? So you just take it day by day on DH for me is like no what? Now that I have more of my time on my hands, what do I really want to do it? So that's what I was trying to reach the goals that you've never really reached before or you've always had the excuse of. I don't have enough time to do it. I don't have enough time to do that. You have time on your hands now, what you gonna do? So, as I said, it's more for me an opportunity to to grow to better myself, to do the things I want to do. Robert, in the things I have to do enough about spending time with the people that are closest to you. And I understand obviously where you are in, lock down and you're in isolation. You can always go and see those people. What Least you didn't have the time to speak to them and community and talk and listen. Have fun, be it over, you know, social media or over the phone or whatever. What you now have the time that you can invest into those people that you love a GIF and then took a bit yes often and take an opportunity to read and toe up skill. When I don't know, start a business you is when it's a start, build that website you always wanted to build and design. Those closure is when it's designed and get into fitness and health, and I see as definitely see it as an opportunity at first office he was because we don't really know what's going on. There's 1/5 act involved. How I cannot cope. How am I gonna do with this? Understand? Everyone's in different positions on people living home alone on some people are thick and the suffering. And there's other people, whether their key workers that work in more than they normally would and stressful time. So it's, I think it's important that we support each other as much as possible, but definitely a different see as an opportunity living, living life with uncertainty and then make sure the bravery in your decisions, because it's like what? I don't really know what's gonna happen, So if them what are my risk in? Because you don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. Where's before you could be that I have this to do that to do. I can't make that decision because this is gonna happen. And you can kind of preemptive pre judge the things that you know for certain goingto happen Now you're living in uncertain times It's like those risks almost don't exist anymore. So now you can do the things that you wanted to do without any risk, in a sense, so I definitely different feeding that the balance is off the different ways you can kind of approach in different ways. You can take it depending on your circumstance. What for me if if, no, I wouldn't say it's a blessing. I wouldn't want to say that because as I said, people are there people out there that are in this situation where they actually suffering and they're taking it in a very different way for me, like I'm thankful for what I have my health and the people around me. And as I now have time on my hands and it for me, it is an opportunity tto be Bill, and that's how I take it.

spk_1:   20:39
There was there was a line that you said that wass because we are in uncertain times, you no longer have to fear what you're going to do because you're unsure what's gonna happen anyway. I find that's quite sick. I'm not sick as in bad as in good, because I have a say in that city that used to tell myself which say, Coddle homicide have said in the last two weeks what I've said as saying that says Craig, you don't great. What if you don't know everything about the world and including that? What if you didn't know everything about yourself, which the lion was important to me? Because it meant that actually, I could start to make decisions and take opportunities which I never fought were for me, instead of having my mind convinced me that I know anything about myself. It's not true. Actually, I cannot just take opportunities because I don't know what's gonna happen. So it's very interesting. You said that because nobody sees uncertain times as because you don't know what's gonna happen then actually, you should just start doing more stuff that you do because you never predicted. And I think that's quite quite cool, because this is a complete flip on the uncertain times. Sounds like a really bad thing, but what? That line you said it is just a perfect capture off. Just flip it on its head. Is that well? Because it's uncertain times and because you didn't know this was gonna happen, you because you didn't know what was. What's the outcome then? You might as well just starts trying stuff that you've never tried before. And so I like that I like that to follow up from there, Actually. What is something new that you've done during this time? So what I've always kind of wanted to get into is looking at black stocks and shares and all that stuff. And it's always something that I've been quite keen to learn about. Kind of dip my toe in, but I've never really been again. I've never really been shorn and willing to take that risk. And it's only as of recently, I was just like, Well, with everything that's going on. What? What? My kind of with everything that's uncertain and you don't know what's going on? Why can't I take those risks anymore? And that's for you know what? Maybe that's something I'm gonna try when you have certainty that Okay, this is what you're doing. You're 95. This is the money earning. This is how your day is this what you're gonna do? You're gonna work from nine to this, you're gonna become you. You're gonna come home. You're gonna you're gonna sleep. You gonna do this now? It's like a war. Anything can happen now. So why no. Take those risks. Even though I was considering day in my head just for the sake of it that you know, I'm at home. I've always wanted to do something stupid with my headpiece. Let me dye my hair like, you know, I'm saying, just be stupid right now. Everything's on certain. Just do the things that you wanted to do and never really. I took a risk to do it. So for me, I'm just I'm just finding some wild stuff to do right now. E way you reaching about 45 by now? Something Maybe this is a mid life crisis. I don't know. I completely agree with you, but you know, even yeah, exactly. It's just for me. It's that war. I'm at home. I'm locking doors like you don't know what you said. Everything's on. So you don't know what kind of work? Your job. But you don't know what's gonna be happening in the future. No one really knows. You can't. Not Nothing's guaranteed right now. Why not? Just do so. Just do what you wanted to do. I know completely. What? Yeah, completely resolved. That life is basically showing us how you know how much you don't know on how much you didn't know how much you didn't predict. Even if their system told you this is how it's gonna work. Move. And they knew that this was gonna happen in the incense. So yeah, it's just the time to say, you know what? All the things I thought I was supposed to do and it is set up in a certain way let go of all of it and just do the stuff I want to do. So I like that. And so what do you do? You have any thoughts of it?

spk_0:   24:10
Um, no. I like hospice. If you about Sanders opportunity. And but made sure that you reiterated that you know, specifically for you in your situation that there's opportunity because I feel like obviously when this whole thing happened me and laughing alot of you probably for the first couple weeks again just because it was our everything is not stopped not going working out. Dennis off this's Les that we could do anything now Then we can we just have our We just have our life back. This is and then obviously quite surely after that you need, as it wasn't just to eating was going along. But eso if by that you really stuck. But you stop on it being situation when no, everybody has to take risks. Not everybody has to be productive now, everybody after you know some people going through some things. But in your circumstance, in your situation, you've decided to, you know, a lot. There's other things that I've been sitting on all these things that I have, as you just said in talking about investment stuff, things I haven't actually had the courage before to do. Let me dip my toe in it now and whatever happens, happens. And that's how people should be taking. It definitely shouldn't be a blanket statement, cause I think when you first happened, everyone was that man. You could be productive when you can get this done when you could do that. But really and truly, some people may just wanna break, get some People just mean people have been going for till for the last five years. And now that we have a chance to have a break. It's nice. And some people, maybe you want to spend time with their kids like this. Why would say is when you say opportunity, I feel like you can expand on the bison. There's an opportunity you fought too literally. Do you or be anything, Even if it means do nothing that there's an opportunity to do nothing. There's opportunity to slow down its opportunity. Teo Be still. Be mindful as opportunity. Can I look inwardly and heal yourself? You're going through traumas. If you're going for anything on, where's when life is coming at you so fast on the day to day basis, we don't have, as you said, the key word we don't have sometimes, or we thought you'd have sometimes that time, even to look inwardly, even to take 10 minutes to just be some yoga, do some breathing on gas. The crazy thing, he said. He said, Sam will be chosen to do our presidency. The Spanish have been learning Spanish

spk_1:   26:34

None of you can come eye. Okay, Commissioners

spk_1:   26:42

spk_0:   26:43
one, you know. Yeah, I'm still Oh, if I could just say my name and me and Denzel. So I mean Mia.

spk_1:   26:51

by the next podcast. I feature your whole sentence in Spanish, but I am an been good has been Assad said it is the time to kind of explore. But I like doing you specifically and reiterate that you know no pressure. Just if you have any circumstance, take this opportunity. Well, no.

spk_1:   27:41
Yeah, man, I think again that kind of falls back into the understanding of where my word came from. When I associate like isolation with separation as well and then unnecessary way. It wasn't just about being separate from people. What? You're separated from your life separate from your day to day life. You're regular daily routine off getting up in the morning going to work. You're now separate from that. That's not the same anymore. So now what do you do that you're not in that same bubble in offence off getting up in the morning. Brush in it. Ive got commune in tow, working and sitting at a desk, coming home, tired cooking food, whatever that that doesn't necessarily exist anymore. You're separated from that. So now what do you do with your time? How do you structure your life on DH again? I think that's how that's how I kind of associate it also not just separate from people. What? You're sexually separated from what you originally understood your life to be. We'll move on to the part of port cost where we actually pull in some questions from our listeners. So we had quite a few. So unfortunately, I can't answer all of them today, but we'll do our best. Obviously picked these up on our socials as well. So make sure you guys keeping an eye out for that. I'm probably gonna pick free questions. I'll just throw them out there and then we can go through them and just see how we do. Yes, I'm good. That was good. Okay, Course, though, would you be happy to keep this locked down on advance from you as a society with automation off services, or revert back to how things were before. We'll get deep already that Oh, that's a serious question. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. So my take on this I've actually had a lot off interest in really, really random, but of robotics, A lot of big interest on DH. Most movies that we watch has always bean Ah, like all robots that take over the world from Terminator. Aye, aye. All those things. It's just going to ruin the world. And then humans are gonna be dead often. And butt roll. What's it gonna take over and make their own babies or whatever it is, it will always be in something. Soldier American Armageddon. There was one Ted talk I listen to where a person gave a completely different perspective about robotics in the sense that we've been brought into a system which makes us believe that the mundane task that actually probably weaken do be a lot better at doing um, have become something that we must do to create money. Yeah, this could be I don't know, we could talk about things that you just know that you don't want to do, but you have to do it because you have to pay the bills. The easiest way for you to know if you're doing something that you don't want to do. The question for yourself is if the person wasn't paying you for what you're doing now for work, would you still do it then? From there, you already know the answer that you wouldn't. You're doing a mundane task or something that you don't believe you should be doing. However, let's carry on. They basically said robotics could replace that they would replace the things that we don't want to do or we don't feel that we should be doing as human being, since we are more. If access to multi faceted people weaken, there's so much we can do. But because we have to pay bills because of place in a system were forced, tto have to do things we don't really want to do, and not a lot of people get to work in their passion. So, he said, robotics would be able to replace those tasks. Let the world run as it would usually and human beings get Teo do things that they were built to do, which was actually live out their passions, live out the stuff that They're really good at live at the things that they really unique. You're not just another banker, you're not just another teller. You're not just another person. You're actually someone that is unique in your own field because you have a unique perspective of everything your own storey own way. So I kind of liked that idea of robotics replacing. And I still believe that to say one of the lines I say is that well, we really put on this earth just so we could work 40 hours per week for the rest of Porto What, 50 years of our life. And then we get to have a bit of freedom for, like, 10 until we die. That's really don't sound like that's what our purpose was. So that is my take on that. I haven't necessarily given a take, but that's that's a GN idea that I did actually move towards If there was more automation and we've got to do more off this not having to trade money a time for money when we got to live more by lives because automation was put into place, I wouldn't see that as a bad a bad way for us to move forward as human beings,

spk_0:   32:09
however, would you? But you answer questions. So why would you, professor, would you prefer it being being now, like, literally, because he said, he

spk_1:   32:19
said, Lock down. Yes, that that was a lot. He lets you said, Lock down. I don't agree that fun. I'll give that part. I like. I don't mind going to partner

spk_0:   32:27
with a while back.

spk_1:   32:28
Yeah, I like to be my kind of was and parties and not go backto work. That would be a nice combination on DH. Then that's for me. That's that's how I imagine it. Like people when people ask, What would you do then? If you if you wasn't gonna do your job, I would technically do the stuff I already do. I do some video. Sometimes I move my friends, I part you just live your life. You enjoy your life and make experiences. But we spend what, 80% off our lives, actually, just workin and no live in our lives. We have to make money that we could not use because we have to pay bills and we just have to go back to work the next day, so that's that's my take on it on the lot down. No, I don't. We don't need to stay in LA We don't. We just don't know. Yeah, I think I agree with that. I don't think I think in problem. That part of question, I think in terms ofthe living continued life in lock down would be an extreme that I don't think any of us would want to live anyway. But I definitely think that just the fact off what we've been living from for the last couple of months, at least it shows us where society can go on DH to me. I don't know if I would say it's a step in the right direction, but I definitely think it is if a way that I could see society living and continuing to live without problem anyway, because automation brings lack, comfortability brings ease of use, it brings efficiency. So I wouldn't want to go back to the way things were. If I think that there's another option which is gonna be more fisher for us in society, things are gonna be faster. Things are gonna be easily accessible on DH. I don't really see why that would be an issue. Obviously understand, jobs will change as crazy in his wall. Things will change where humans will have to find different roles. And to be fair, a lot of it may move into being more technological roles. Where is support in robotics and supporting a I and doing other stuff? Well, in terms of, as you were saying, that the more mundane stuff. If that can be done in in automation which then helped push society forward and make sure more fishing for us, then I know. Yeah. All right, let's jump into the next question. Lissy will go. Ah, Okay. This one might be a bit sticky. So assuming if street street crime is at an all time low on domestic violence is at an all time high. Do you think that this culture change will be positive or negative in two years time? If the lock down continued

spk_0:   34:53
where 10 years. That store the store high negative isn't he said if domestic wants this.

spk_1:   35:01
Yeah, exactly. So

spk_0:   35:03
Okay, CVA. You know, one, But you're in. I don't know if you can look at that as ah

spk_1:   35:12
Wei, imagining that obviously with what's happening in the culture change and in society say, for example, with obviously, what important question is street crime is essentially an all time low because most people ever it was pretty much, I hope, at the same time, it brings in a lot more Mr

spk_0:   35:29
Violence

spk_1:   35:29
domestic violence. It brings in a lot more of a societal issues. Now, if we were to continue with this locked down and in terms of that culture change, how would you? Would you ever see that as being something which will work for us in the future? Or it just means that there's another problem to tackle? I'm assuming I believe that's an assumption. There's no statistics to say domestic violence has increased. And the reason why I thought,

spk_0:   35:52
Here's a human. I think the reason

spk_1:   35:54
why I am a question that is because a lot of domestic violence is not usually because maybe the partner or the child or anything is actually doing something wrong per se. But more because of the person committing the crime is has so many other inner conflicts. I beg to differ that they still have the same level of inner conflicts they usually have on a normal day day to day life, as in, for example, let's say they come from a stressful, stressful job. Let's say they drink, which we also cannot do. Let's say they meet with people, are quite toxic. There's a lot of outside forces that I believe contributes. People are domestic abusers. So I question if the numbers have even raised in the first place that question in itself for me, even if it was that it did raise, that's a very controversial question. I couldn't even say Answer that because there's so many. There's so many things that we could we could say we could say OK, well, all of a sudden everybody goes on digital tags, which means that nobody could get sex traffic. So I assumed you become a baby. You have a digital tag you could never get sex, traffic, you could never get lost. That sounds like a great society. But what they say, the road to hell is paved by good intentions. Nothing. Nothing is as clear cut as we think, especially as human beings were so complex. So yeah, that's that's yeah. Yeah, just just this course is the crazies. Okay, Okay. I got another good one. I know that one was a bit controversial, but this is the final one. We're gonna go. There was one about kids, but I know you guys won't be able to answer that. So I'll leave. I mean, you have you judging I lost questions. So what is the best way to console someone who is suffering from anxiety? Drawing the lock down? I got your meat answer. I got I got I got on my going on. Said how I do it. Go Freeman A lot of the time is just talking to them. Sometimes we want to drag people into a state of no having anxiety and not suffering. So But the best way to help person help a person is not to drag them where you are, but to meet them where they are. So sometimes the smallest things you can do is actually just cheque on them, you know, asking them for the anxiety, you know, asking them about How's it going? You just checking on them genuinely. And when they answer, you're not gonna tell them eyes this again. You're just gonna be like you know what? I'm listening. I'm hearing what you're saying so sometimes you meet them where they are, you listen to them. And sometimes that level of companionship on company to them is a way to use there, there, there, anxiety on. In addition, sometimes you get to conversations randomly, which talks about some of the things you get to reminisce some of the things you want to think about the future, and it and that the whole point is anxiety that I think it kind of plays on your mind a lot. If you could take them out from that little space that they're in and they can start to focus on that, that helps a lot. I'm Is this specific to the isolation by the way? Or is this in general? Yeah. Yes. Oh, yes. Oh, this is a question from someone that they have, Ah, partner who's isolated then? No, by themselves, fortunately enough, but they are suffering from a lot of anxiety during this time, and they just finding they just want to find a way to be with you consoled him attention, so that would be a good case, or even them encouraging them to go outside and just take a Walker's well again, focusing on nature and stuff for that is the whole point is to try to get out of your head. Your mind is very powerful. But in both ways, Deacon. But we can both paralyse you with anxiety and depression. But also how you up to realise that simple things like birds flying and nature just be in nature is actually something that's really comforting. And, um, this gives you a bit of hope that things could be normal because the rest of the world has been nor in nature in itself. So, yeah, that's my then I know you. I know in the past, we've had conversations about obviously you've had moments off. Today is Well, how are you? How are you dealing with at the moment? Are you okay? Like, how have you got anyone else in your family that's potentially suffering from anxiety? Join up this time. And how are you dealing with that?

spk_0:   39:51
Um I've personally been personally been alright. Um because my owns that I was never really triggered by sore being alone in my house or being alone, understand? On with my day to day mind was always I had 2001 where a while back ahead he was more social. That was more like in life. Very, very crowded spaces. I'm like juice station underground Stuff like that, um on the other one was more really always when I would be driving by myself and just again. But I guess because then you have so much time to be in your head on and think and think, Um, but I've been fine. I've been up in Alright, I'm I've been I've been up in continuing with black meditation and stuff That definitely helps breathing exercises for like, ah, recommending Tovah, what would you do with my meditation? Absent stuff that was really helpful for people girlfriend. Especially if they're by themselves because they listen to people, talk them free and also miss it. That anxiety is all about controlling your breathing really intruding. But you can't be breathing really slow and be anxious at the same time. It's not It's not actually possible. S o. That might be something to hope were that I use is called calm. I don't know if that hopes the person, Maybe they want to look into that on day. Another one after more popular everyone knows his head space go have both. But for me, it's stuff like that. Stuff like if you feel you Afghans just go f yourself down a bit right up. And I have gone through moments, you know, certain interactions have made me a bit anxiety. Ah, I spiked. But it's just about bringing its just my sentence off Reeve in on DH, maybe even just burn off some steam, maybe even do some exercise like I've never, ever thought anxiety after exercise. Actually, for my piece or useful that I can breathe, my lungs are opening up and stuff like that. So yeah, I'm a person, okay? But I hope that helps somebody else used for family

were kidding, man. Nice war. Thank you. Those guys that sent in the questions as well, really appreciate. And obviously we'll get to the other questions that worsen in a soon as we can on our social zzzz. Well, keep sending them in because we're gonna keep on doing as much as we can and helping as much as we can what we like to do. Obviously, at the end of the port, cost is generally just have a bit of a wrap up in a food for four. So hopefully there's something that you can take away from the conversation and then you will help you going down the land. So I think that is if it's a blessing and a curse in certain respects, depending on the situation you're in, I think that the common theme is toe. Basically try and have a sense of normality to your life. Don't let these things kind off get to you too much be around people that you love as much as possible. Virtually obviously. So he keep the conversations, go in, keep in touch with people, get out as much as you can on. I think the main thing is understand this isn't gonna lost forever. So it's just a case off, just thinking positive. So obviously from the conversation I brew up is this thinking about silver Land in taking this as an opportunity on DH? Hopefully, once we get through this, everything will be a lot smoother and a lot of everyone

I would say I'm remember one thing so we can't control when they lock down is lifted. We can't control when we're fully able to go back outside party in But what we can control is in here. We can control how what we think, What we can control what we consume on a day to day basis. We still have freedom of choice. You know that while in our house and me we cheat or to consume, which is what watch, which is what Do not watch if you feel like certain things are getting you down because you're really some people like doing this whole When you know any relive memories and stuff it. And for some people, that's great because you look back to the good times you hold towels. But it is for other people. It just makes him a bit press. So, you know, I understand that triggers, Understand? You know what makes you fall and energised on what makes you feel a bit drained, and I'm always choose always. You have the choice, your freedom of trace. What did you want to consume? And just make sure you're choosing was good for you know what's good for someone else. Almost good for your partner. But choose what's good for you on DH. Hopefully that we'll make everything a little bit more, more more bearable while the Indus

from me really to extend From what you're saying, one of the key things that Simon was making there was that we have a lot of time and opportunity and is very different for everybody else. But one of the key things that we do have from this I'm current moment is, um, the opportunity to be mindful actually on that comes in multiple ways. If you have a lot of time, this is now a great time for you to give it back to yourself. Give it back to your love ones. Give it back to things that you've left behind that you haven't really being given attention. But you know you want to. This is a great time for you and for those who don't have a lot of time. And they've actually bean had alone. Time has been taken away a lot more for key workers. This is the time to just realise you need to be very mindful ofthe how you spend your energy. Sometimes we can use the over the energy again consuming media. That doesn't help us. Entertaining toxic conversations, doing stuff that just really waste our time and doesn't help us. This is a great time to realise, with the time that I have, I need to be very intentional about the time I happen and choose where we want to use it. Because I need things. Only fuel me, Make me fry on DH. Keep me positive and optimistic because I need as much energy as I can. But it's cause not only for people are extremely busy, but people are actually in the houses as well. Are you going to leave from this? Um, locked on isolation, Feeling worse? Or you're going to realise. Actually, I did have control over what I can do and what I can consume. And I don't have to escape. Use things as escapes anymore, Aiken intentionally say, You know what? I don't want to listen to this. I don't want to watch this. I'm gonna use my time and do this instead. So he worked for me is just be very mindful. No matter what your situation is, be mindful and take everything that deep. So when you pick up your phone, Andi, look, instagram is that deep? You're wasting your time. If you don't feel like it's making you feel any better. What shows are gonna help you pull to the right people? And yeah, that's that's my men take.
