The Most Important Thing to Understand is This
Welcome to the one day at a time podcast with your host and the future leader of The Republic Of Wales, Sveldfjer. Now this might be the only podcast in the world where you actually have to reduce the speed instead of increasing it. However, what I wanna get over to you is that the past is gone. The future doesn't exist. So if you wanna make the most of your life, you've gotta make the most of these moments every single day.
Speaker 1:And this podcast is gonna help you live a healthier, more fulfilled life, hopefully, giving you some wisdom to take away every single day. So I'm gonna shut up now so you can get on with listening to the next episode. Good morning everyone. Guess what's happening this week? Well it's day one of the dance challenge which is awesome news obviously but look at the look at the weather up on your phone.
Speaker 1:Yes, the sun is coming out. I think things are looking up. So in the next five weeks, I hope we have loads of sun, loads of dance moves, loads of calories burned, a lot of improvement in our balance, our rhythm, routine and it will be fine you have someone else. So things are looking up guys, things are looking up and welcome to anybody that's new to this podcast and new to the Turtle crew. The purpose of this podcast really is simple, help you live one day at a time.
Speaker 1:Because if we can do something for one day, we can do it for two days, we can do it for three days. And the main problem we have is when we project ourselves to the future or to the past. That's what all problems lie. If we can live present moment with just what's in front of us, things melt away, you focus, you're not paralyzed, not procrastinating, you don't feel as much fear, anxiety, it melts away. And if you can take control of the what twenty four hours you've got, that's how you can improve your life.
Speaker 1:Simple as, it's really simple. And there's no freedom in being reaction in reacting to everything. If you're always reacting, you got no freedom. Right? So if you're always reacting to on your for example, you might have on social media, someone you really don't wanna see, your ex or someone you hate in your family, And you wake up in the morning and you go on your phone straight away and you see their face and you react and you're angry, you feel yourself, oh, I hate that person.
Speaker 1:On a comment, send it to your mate. Oh, look at this. I hate him. Hate her. You're reacting.
Speaker 1:Do you think you've got freedom? You've given you're you're a slave to your emotions. You're a slave to the reactions. So what we need to do in the mornings, we need to take control of these mornings, and we need to really understand that we don't wanna be reactive. We wanna we wanna respond.
Speaker 1:We want to be able to respond and take control. And that starts with understanding that if we can take control of the hours in front of us every day as they come, we'll have control of our life. Is that does that make sense? I hope so. But I'm gonna read a few passages first before I get into what I want to talk about today, about a book that's a hundred years old about how to live 24 a day.
Speaker 1:So I'm gonna read a few passages out, see if they land, and then we'll get on with it. Okay. So here it goes. I wish I could do with a posh English accent because I think he was, but I can't. Sorry, guys.
Speaker 1:You've got the thick Welsh accent for this. Okay. Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. It is the inexplicable raw material of everything.
Speaker 1:With it all is possible, without it nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle and a fair genuinely astonishing when one examines it. You wake up in the morning and lo and behold your purse is magically filled with twenty four hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your life. It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions, a highly singular commodity showered upon you in the manner as singular as the commodity itself.
Speaker 1:No one can take it away from you. It is unstealable and no one receives either more or less than you. Talk about the ideal democracy. Bang on bang on. Very very true.
Speaker 1:Okay. So genius is never awarded by even an extra hour a hour a day, and there is no punishment. Waste your infinitely precious commodity as much as you will, and the supply will never be withheld from you. No mysterious power will say, this man is a fool. He does not deserve time, he shall be cut off at the meter.
Speaker 1:It is more certain than Consuls the payment of income is not affected by Sundays. Moreover you cannot draw on the future impossible to get into time debt. You can only waste the passing moment. You cannot waste tomorrow, it is kept for you. You cannot waste the next hour, it is kept for you.
Speaker 1:I said the affair was a miracle, is it not? You have to live on this twenty four hours of daily time out of it you have this, have to spend health, pleasure, money, content, respect and the evolution of your immortal soul. Its right use, its most effective use is a matter of the highest urgency and of the most thrilling actuality. All depends on that. Your happiness, the elusive prize that you are all clutching for, my friends, depends on that.
Speaker 1:Strange that the newspapers so enterprising and up to date as they are are not full of how to live on given income of time instead of how to live on given income of money. Money is far common at the time. When one reflects one perceives that money is just about the commonest thing that is. If one can't contrive to live on a certain income of money, one earns a little more or steals it or advertise for it. One doesn't necessarily muddle one's life because one can't quite manage on a thousand pounds a year.
Speaker 1:That's, you know, how old it is, thousand pounds a year. Right? But if one cannot arrange on an income of twenty four hours a day shall exactly cover all proper items of expenditure, one does muddle one's life definitely. The supply of time through gloriously regular is cruelly restricted. Which of us lives on twenty four hours a day and when I say it lives I do not mean exists nor muddles through.
Speaker 1:Which of us is free from the uneasy feeling that the great spending departments of his daily life are not managed as they ought to be, which of us is quite sure that his fine suit is not surmounted by a shameful hat or that is attendant to a crockery he has forgotten the quality of the food? Which of us is not saying to himself? Which of us has not been saying to himself or herself all their life, I shall alter that when I have a little more time. Guess what? We never shall have any more time.
Speaker 1:We have and we have always had all the time there is. It is the realisation of this profound and neglected truth, which by the way I have not discovered, that has led me to the minute practical examination of the daily time expenditure. Expenditure. What an introduction and that's the important part. It's all about what we do with our twenty four hours a day, convinced.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you're gonna start on this five week journey, I wanna make it a success. I wanna lose weight. I wanna get stronger. It all starts with the day. Today, that's it.
Speaker 1:That's the only thing you need to focus on. Today is right now. I don't care about tomorrow. There's no point in thinking about it. What are gonna do today?
Speaker 1:You're the dance lesson today, 07:30? No? Are you gonna do a replay later? Have you got the macros app on your phone ready? Are you tracking?
Speaker 1:Are you gonna eat your food? Are you gonna go for your steps? Are you gonna get you gonna get you walking? Are you drinking your water? What are you doing with your day?
Speaker 1:Are planning it out today? Are you wasting it? Are you thinking, well, I'll start tomorrow. Why would you start tomorrow? Start now.
Speaker 1:Immediately, right now. What have you got to do right now? Go and do it. There's there's what are you wasting your time doing? We need to shake ourselves.
Speaker 1:This is lit this is it. This is the game time. We're in. We're in. What are we doing?
Speaker 1:I think too many of us, we waste the days away. Look, myself included, we we we fall into we fall into this little, you know, little phases where days go by, as the days go by, the weeks are going by and we're like, what are we done with those days and weeks? I don't know. Let's not let's not fall into our trap. Let's enjoy the days.
Speaker 1:Let's make the most of them and let's understand that if we can just get one day right, and then we put the next step forward, we get that right, we're gonna make huge progress and change our lives. Because it all that's all it takes step by step. You know, what's that phrase? How do you move a mountain? You know, one rock at a time.
Speaker 1:Okay. Moncton's huge. You think you're gonna move on one day or you think you can move it at all? No. You think, oh, there's no way I can move all that.
Speaker 1:And what if you moved one rock at a time, man? Yeah. I would do it, but it'd take time. Exactly. But you'd be doing what you need to do.
Speaker 1:One rock at a time. So what what we gotta do? One dance move at a time. One routine at a time. One day of tracking at a time.
Speaker 1:One day of walking at a time, one day of speaking to ourselves in a nice manner at a time. You've got to watch your words right. You've got to watch your words because words are very powerful. What do words mean to you? We need to be free from the words okay.
Speaker 1:We need to basically be free of what we think is true about ourselves as well. So you need to put aside all of these explanations and conclusions you've got of yourself, all the knowledge about yourself right. You got to discard that before this challenge starts okay. Oh I can't dance, ah I find it hard to lose weight, oh I don't think I'm a person that can lose weight, I've always been someone who put a lot with weight on easy, I've never been a strong person. Same with nutrition, discard everything you think you know, start fresh, empty the mind, be free okay and watch out for the words you use because they will seep through and what you say right if you keep continuing the stuff it will come true.
Speaker 1:If you say I'll never be able to dance, I'll never do it, guess what you won't dance. Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. A quote by Henry Ford. I didn't quite understand that when I first heard it. Was like what do you mean?
Speaker 1:By Gary. If you think you can, do something or if you think you can't do something, you're correct, you're right because that is gonna ultimately be the decider of your belief. So I need you to believe now when this challenge starts that you can learn more in the next five weeks of bone nutrition you thought possible. I want you to understand you can dance like we're all gonna do it. You're gonna finally be able to do pops and moves.
Speaker 1:That you can lose weight in a sustainable way. That you can get back into your groove. It's all possible. All of it. But let's some let's discard some of the negative blocks we've got because those they're they're simply just words that we're saying, but they're so powerful.
Speaker 1:Imagine you didn't know what some of those words meant till they got deleted from your vocabulary. But if we didn't know, we said, oh, I can't. I can't dance. And you just, you know, couldn't use the word can't. We said, try and dance.
Speaker 1:It's fine. Just try. But don't ever say you can't do it. Okay? But that's it.
Speaker 1:That's it for today. Just wanted to get you ready for this day. Don't wanna waste more of your time. Eleven minutes have gone. Go and go and have a good day.
Speaker 1:Enjoy it. Enjoy the dance. I am pumped. Any questions, obviously, let me know. More voice notes this week will cover, more of the nutrition side, back to the basics, steps, the app, all that stuff.
Speaker 1:But today, it's all about getting into this mindset. I want you to adopt the one day at a time mindset. Okay? One day at a time, we can do this. We can be happy fulfilled lives.
Speaker 1:So that is it guys. I will speak to you later with Hugh. Enjoy the q and a. Hopefully you can make it live, about stress. And, we go from there.
Speaker 1:Enjoy your day and good luck. I'll see you later. And that is it for today's episode. So hopefully you took something away from it. If you didn't, here's what need to take away.
Speaker 1:Stop wasting time on social media. Stop wasting time gossiping. You've only got a day to live. Today's the only day you ever have. So if there's anything to take away from this podcast, even if you can't understand the word I say, even if you didn't resonate with the wisdom I try to deliver, this is a reminder of you daily to live one day at a time.
Speaker 1:Give your moments meaning today and don't be fooled by you've got unlimited amount of days. But if you can make the most of today, I'm telling you, you'll have a fulfilled life. So enjoy your
Speaker 2:day and hopefully I'll see you
