your notifications you can tune in almost every day depending on how responsible I'm being now I had a really embarrassing thing happen to me yesterday so it's just an amazing topic today terribly embarrassing thing is I had a I had an appointment with a with what I thought was an osteopath which is an alternative healer who works on like bone alignments I've I've been basically a health freak site I like I'm dead generally in the natural world of health and and so I show up at I think on my particular I think every group every different national insurance company has this but certainly ours does it's called Maccabi TV I'm part of Maccabi and it's called hobby TV means mmm Maccabi natural healing and you can literally on your Kupa on your how do you say coupon your your package your healthcare package does israel's health care socialized you don't have to pay for health they're here and you can actually go get reflexive reflects odd reflexology you can get a massage you know sweet as much sauce shiatsu you know and it's all you just slide your card they make you pay like a little bit extra than you would for the free free medical you know you got to pay something for there's this beautiful place with like new age music and tea being served and beanbags and stuff and it's all part of the national insurance just quite amazing anyway i thought i was showing up to the net the osteopath accept gifts why you're like okay you can go in i go in it's not that it's not the osteopath instead it is the natural path so i going by the way this is a vive those who don't know she's in charge of laughing at jokes okay now there won't always be a time where there was a joke before the laughter but she's your cue you know and like television shows that used to you know laugh sign you know in the 50s so I've even will let you know when it's time to live now the anyway it turned out to be the natural path and I was just like swallowing my tongue I was like oh no why because I totally neglected what he had asked me to do six weeks earlier and he was so excited to meet me because he couldn't wait to see whether me drinking celery juice meaning boiling celery for 20 minutes and then drinking two full cups of it a day for six weeks what that would do for my uric acid levels but apparently my uric acid levels were higher than normal and that he felt that they should be brought down drinking celery juice and the other thing was vitamin b12 under the tongue three times days but not at night amongst various other things like not eating mean not even Jacqueline there's none and the other thing and not during a red wine anyway I mean I was caught with my pants down totally I think I drank some celery juice for like two weeks at the beginning vitamin b12 I like they wound up selling me a liquid version for some reason that was putting me to sleep so I put that aside so here I was standing in front of this sitting in front of this natural path and I could not help think of Jordan Peterson's I think first chapter of the book of whatever it's called the twelve some rules for living or control rules for life and the first chapters goes into detail into detail after how people don't take care of themselves and that people are more likely to give their dog medication and neglect themselves from taking the new medication that was prescribed to them like we will literally treat ourselves worse than most people and I think that chapter was called treat yourself as as someone who you cared for there are people you care for you treat them the same way don't treat yourself worse than that which is wild cuz all of us do that all of us will treat ourselves worst thing we'll treat someone that we care for so treat yourself as if you're someone that you care for here I was I mean I when I read that chapter I was like yeah a lot of people do that but not me I would never do that and here I was I I was that guy and I'm like promising this natural path I said I promise you I'm not that guy just not that guy it's just like he's in these six weeks I've been out of the country five times you know I'm being hosted by these random people in New York I'm like do you mind making me celery juice please you know that's not going and the b12 I was just so busy I didn't even think about the b12 you know under that huh I just totally forgot and I was here I am convincing him I'm not the guy who neglects himself but here I was the guy in the glass and it was it was quite exposed and uncomfortable and and it really is not me and even today I today my day was like me my morning was was total self-care news yes first to cup of coffee that's self-care especially if you wake up like me it takes anywhere between 7 and 9 depending how late I went to sleep but I never ever sleep less than seven hours never listen 7 O's so I go to mid midnight I'm up at 7 oh by the way I don't sleep more either if I wake up more I wake up foggy if I sleep less I wake up cranky and but if I sleep 7 I'm a mess for about an hour cuz Glaser's just don't wake up well at all and we just don't wake up well thank God I healed my digestive system through my work that possibly was seminars the seminar I run I literally could have my colon removed by the doctor because I couldn't nothin just food anymore so they're gonna have to take out the colon just so I could put food in my body what good's food in the body without a colon I'm not sure because that's where the nutrients get digested but they it was bad and I healed my colon through possibly a seminar and which I've been running out for 18 years oh and I have one in Muncie this week that's an announcement this coming Sunday I will be starting a men's seminar around noon and then a Women's Center starts on Monday in is in months in New York if you know in a Muncie if you're from there or people flying all the time you can fly in from anywhere enjoying the seminar you will not be disappointed it'll be the best five date four days of your life anyway but before I heal my digestion I couldn't drink coffee obviously because it's so I say to the body and so waking up was really roughly speaking Hasidic I I you know Glaser's as I said don't wake up well so I was visiting our Hasidic cousins in Queens New York and here I was this like newly observant guy the hero of their side of the family that I became observant because it was so exciting to them then I became observant and and they so what happened I wake up in the morning they said sha this is gonna be an 8 a.m. I wake up at 9:30 and look at my watch it was like violins playing from a horror movie I'm like no because you know I'm humiliated that I miss China's so I go running down the kitchen and I say to him - mrs. Glaser my my cousin Yeti I say to her just tell me what's shoulder there and I'll run over there and she looks at me and she says sure everybody's in bed work Blazers and then I realized how deep it goes that these like like seriously removed cousins have terrible time waking up in the morning anyway but this morning I started with a cup of coffee and then immediately I'm in the mikveh and in the mikveh the first day she was in the guy for a while in the hot in the hot pool and then and I did my dunks and I went to the cold pool just to tighten up my skin to get into the boiling pool which is 113 degrees like that it's hot and get in there and there I relaxed for a while just get the muscles relaxed from me because when you're asleep at night your muscles like in one position for hours and you need to loosen those muscles up then I go back to the cold pool in there I stretch for stretch for like 10 minutes 10 minutes of intensive stretch and was suspended by water which is amazing way to isolate muscles it is de stretching in a pool so and after that I did 45 minutes of yoga back in my house and you know really intense of yoga not to mention I don't even know maybe over a hundred sit-ups and then and then lots and lots of push-ups and then a full yoga session then I did a 45-minute meditation and and just stared at the name of God amongst various other names and very sukham that are inside my little my little micro temple experience over there meditation on names of gods very specific women and I did that for another 45 minutes and after that I went to pray then I started my prayers I'm an I'm into self-care I'm into it but what is going on with us that will neglect ourselves what's going on with us step on the collectors and I know that tonight I just know this morning while I was doing this sit-ups I remember I was coming in on my next set and every fiber of my being wanted to just keep laying on my back you know that feeling you just don't want to do the sit up it's good once you get going then you're like are earrin reps but before you start those reps as a partyer that just doesn't want to do it and and that part of us is a deep part of us that wants to fade away wants to fade away because think about it you're you know stomach muscles don't expect good posture because that's your core muscles that's what holds you up and so how you gonna have good posture if you don't have core core muscles and now you're getting torn muscles if you don't either you're a laborer like people used to work in the fields kind of like bending down and raising up like using those core muscles all the time I also did back lifts I did I don't know how many back lifts as well laying on my stomach and then arching up my chest like a surfer paddles this board and I and I hold that and breathe and go down and then hold it and breathe working on the back muscles just a part of us wants to fade away did someone just ask if that's the answer huh did you just bring up the Asaro in my classroom we didn't we never discuss it so how often you all hear me say the word gates I know we almost never discussing you want you never even heard me say it from all these years yeah yeah you know why you know I never said a word Yates aha because whenever you use the word Yates at her that's a perfect way to keep letting it kill you see the Yates of her loves broad categories you never deal with what's really going on see it's just a big platitude the inside media we use it it becomes a platitude and then it can do whatever it wants because you've never quite distinguished what it's up to and so I know there is the exam I mean that believe me I'm very well aware there's a heads off but I never discussed the inside how I only discuss what the HR is up to even in this class right now we're discussing with the aides are up to but we know that yet so how you get it out of your vocabulary just knock it out I'll run the whole program sir hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours on end which is all really coming the issues we're dealing with that really it's a Hara issues and I'll never let those those two words to make my mouth and not from a superstitious region it's just that that's a perfect way to never grow is to leave it as this kind of a Morpheus theme and that's a great way to never get ahead in life and never get yourself put together our job is always to identified to GPS when what yeas are hard and which exactly where is that exactly inside of you where what is that place
