Hello.
It's quite interesting.
As frequently as I find myself in front of this microphone.
It has been a while since I've done this.
What is this?
It's been a while since I.
.
.
Press record.
And speed.
Um.
.
.
I mean,
Since the last time I.
.
.
Did this it's probably I don't know,
Six,
Seven,
Maybe even eight months.
At once.
There's often A lot of times when.
.
.
Bye.
I am just talking.
Whether it's on.
With a podcast or.
Meditation.
Alive.
I see and feel it quite differently too.
A talk which is this.
So yeah.
And it's been quite interesting.
To almost use.
That space in between.
This talk and the last talk.
To just look back and reflect.
On what's happened.
And In that time frame,
I've done.
.
.
You know,
I had the.
.
.
Book club.
We looked at.
Parts work internal family systems.
And from that.
.
.
Came.
Regular engagement.
That I've titled The Self Remains.
The End.
What has come.
From all of that has been.
Connection.
With self.
Deepening of that relationship with myself as my best friend.
It's been very enjoyable.
And it's been enjoyable in that sense that.
A lot of what I thought I knew.
Felt or believed.
Still is there?
Full stop.
It's just Depot.
I don't mean deeper in a.
.
.
The woo-woo way.
There's just a different level of connection that I have.
With all of the above.
And I was talking to.
.
.
My therapist the other day.
Therapist.
My Parts Got Parts Work Guide.
She'd be annoyed if I called her that.
My guide.
And.
.
.
We're talking about.
.
.
And it's something again which has shown up quite a lot in these last few months about identity.
And the one thing which.
.
.
I have kind of spoken about.
In the context of identity is probably a couple of episodes before this or maybe more depending on if and when this gets released.
Published.
Been around.
Who I am.
And I remember.
.
.
You know,
My brother's saying this.
And you hear it.
Social media or wherever.
People say.
And asking that question,
Oh,
Who are you?
And that first layer is,
Oh,
I am a policeman,
I am a judge,
I am a.
.
.
Whatever your job is.
And the next layer is,
I'm a father,
I'm a husband,
I'm a brother.
I'm a son.
I'm a nephew.
And the next layer.
Peace.
Possibly.
I'm afraid.
I'm a listener.
And then the next layer is.
.
.
And I don't mean that in some kind of deep philosophical way of.
.
.
I mean that truly,
That's what I feel right now,
I am.
I don't have.
.
.
Aye.
Further explanation to that.
Other than that's war.
I feel.
I ask myself this question right now.
Who are you?
The answer is I am.
And over these last few months.
It's really.
.
.
Revealed shown.
Come out of its cocoon.
And I've embraced it.
Bye.
The routine that I have had,
Literally for the last.
.
.
What are you in now,
2026?
So for the last five years.
.
.
And I've been religious about that routine.
You know,
Bar a few.
Handful of times when I've gone off of it for a handful of weeks.
And even when I have gone off it,
I felt.
Being away from it.
And I've actually said,
That's probably me saying.
This on.
This channel,
This platform.
About my routine.
And how it anchors me.
And I don't.
Begrudge,
Judge.
Look badly on that in the slightest because It is true.
It was true.
But what I've found now.
The deeper that I've gotten.
And I'm more comfortable with who I am.
Truly,
Deeply who I am.
Like,
That's who I am.
At three in the morning.
Is.
I am comfortable with that person.
I'm comfortable with me.
End.
I don't.
.
.
Believe that it is.
One thing in particular.
It's a combination,
It's the sum of all the parts.
It's.
.
.
The confluence of all the twists and turns.
End.
Do I believe?
There's a full stop.
Now?
No.
Not at all.
I so deeply.
.
.
I'm so grateful for the fact that I know that there isn't a full stop.
That it continues,
The journey continues.
Being comfortable in.
I wouldn't even say being comfortable in my own skin.
I'd say being comfortable,
Full stop.
Is so liberating and so freeing.
End.
I'm saying this to my brother.
Talking about my course.
That I just recently released.
Which is titled What To Do When You Get Triggered.
I read some of the comments feedback.
About the course.
And I'm truly amazed.
And humbled.
Bye.
The words that people use.
And the sentences they create.
In response to that course,
In response to those words,
In response to what it is that's been said.
And it's.
.
.
There was a time when it was.
A surprise.
And now it's truly just.
.
.
I am really humbled by it.
How it seems that that course and what it is that I do touches people.
Supports people.
Bye.
Eats.
Anything that I expected,
Anticipated,
Aimed for when I.
.
.
Recorded that first meditation.
I think it was 2024 now,
2023.
Got onto that first inside time alive.
Two years ago.
Two years ago.
Probably in a couple of weeks,
Actually.
I guess the point of what it is that I'm saying is.
.
.
Gratitude.
I'm grateful for everything that's happened.
The good,
The bad,
The ugly.
And I say this quite often.
But I'm happy to be able to say it out loud in public like this,
And I'm grateful for.
.
.
All of it.
Because all of it.
Got me too.
Right here this moment.
2244 on the 21st of May 2026 and.
.
.
I enjoy what I do.
I thoroughly enjoy what I do.
All aspects.
I enjoy who I am.
I love my friends.
I love my family.
I love life.
I guess.
The thing that I.
.
.
Would want to leave.
If you've made it this far.
You with is.
.
.
Let's just take it all on board.
And it's easy for me to say,
Right,
To say this right now.
Trust me,
There's times when.
.
.
I wasn't.
Able to do what I'm about to say,
But it is to be grateful.
For everything.
And the thing that I can honestly say.
.
.
That I try and always have tried.
To look at things from the perspective of.
There's always something to learn from this.
And even if it's just the words that I say.
I do.
Tried to consistently say that.
End.
If you are.
At the beginning of something,
In the middle of something.
The other thing that I want to say is.
.
.
Keep leaning on yourself and putting one foot in front of the other.
Because at the end of the day,
It's the self that remains.
Thank you.
