Hello, lovely listeners, and good morning, Kim. Good morning, Jill. Good morning, everyone. And it's Kim and Jill with one harmonicool. Yeah, we are back Monday morning for us. Dailies. It was. It was. As Jill and I were conversing prior to here, we both had very similar experiences. So if we see a pattern that resonates then with more than just us. Resonates with you.

Oh, and this one was a little bit harder one. Yeah. We were like, are we sure? We sure it's Monday morning. We're sure. Are we going to go this deep? So for us, yeah, for us, we went deep. But for you, it was going to be like, oh, how do we converse all of this into one little mini. So we kind of like shortened it up a little bit.

Exactly, exactly. There are kind of some interesting themes which came up. Which one was like, the pain people are experiencing, physical, mental pain seems to be ticking up quite a bit. And if you're not having the pain, but you're more seeing or experiencing that with people or, you know, environments around you, you might have, like, this intense desire to, like, lash out.

And I'm like, going lash out? Like, what is it like then? That's more of, like the mental lashing out of just like losing. Losing your shit. Yep. Yeah.

Anyway, pain and lashing out. And what I was getting is, it's okay. It's okay if you feel like you need to, like, lash out, but just don't do it at somebody. Don't blame somebody else for your anger or frustration. But it's okay if you need to walk away and drop an F bomb. It's okay if you need to sit there and, like, stand in the shower and just cuss your life away, you know? Yeah.

Go for a run. Just swear the whole time. Yeah. Because that stuff is getting bottled up and you're in your feeling, for one. You have your own pain.

We're all going some. Through some sort of. When I say pain, it's not like physical ouch, pain. It's more like frustration or annoyance or just like, man, this headache now keeps coming back again.

It's just like, frustrating or somebody around you where you think you're doing good. And also just like that, they're like, trying to say you're causing this or that, and you're like, wait a sec, what just happened? I thought we were good.

It's like there's an uptake of what we call is just pain that's occurring and you have it too.

We all are having it going on. It's just going to come out different ways.

So what I suggest is we need to get it out.

Yep.

We need to let it out.

And ideally—ideally—we can find functional—what I'd like to call functional ways rather than dysfunctional ways.

The dysfunctional would be to lash out and view it onto someone else or onto others or, you know, like stuff it down; go to the store and then lose your shit on some clerk—a store clerk who's unsuspecting had nothing to do with it—very dysfunctional.

Functional: We can't reopen—we shared a few of those—you know dropping some F bombs throwing a bit of a fit taking a—you know taking a shower or taking a run—you know don't they have—what do they call them now—smash rooms or something where you go and smash a whole bunch of things? Yeah.

Yes.

Yeah.

Another functional way too—that would be fun—release some of this.

It does—it seems like a lot—a lot of things are very much coming to a head right now in terms of pain—in terms of things that people used to manage and be okay with—and they're just—it's not working anymore.

I think ultimately underlying all of it Kim is some very very loving guidance that's guiding us to—you know—a better place if you will—but right now it's kind of like that when you do spring cleaning and it gets a whole lot worse before it gets better—and you're in that spring cleaning mode—you know—and you're like I'm going to do this—and then you get into it—and you have that moment—and you're like what am I doing because it's a disaster—and then it all comes together—and it's awesome when it's done—I think right now we're a bit in that disaster moment.

Yep.

Yep.

Very well put.

Yes.

I even—I tried some for myself—I had a little bit—I had to go in my brain very hard last night to bring my—that anger—not even anger just annoyance—just annoyed in my head—I had to work very very very hard to turn that down—and for me to work as hard as I did in my brain and literally talk to myself—like oh—I can guarantee this would be very difficult for most people because for you actually you're usually super fast and efficient at that process—and you had to work it really hard last night.

And I find it interesting that was filtering through to you—like it was anger—but you know you're like—it wasn't anger—it wasn't that intense—like it was landing more intensely than it actually was—you're like—it was annoyance—it wasn't anger but it was—it was trying to play out to you like it was anger—it's like these things are inflated to us or something—

Yeah—

It's a little tricky—it feels a little manipulative—

Yes—the way the experiences are coming—

And that's it—

Yep—the manipulation—

Yes—we want to—we want to say well this person's trying to manipulate me—or this experience is manipulating—

It's like no no no no—

No it's not—and it's not—

Oh okay my throat just went—my throat's going—I want to cry—

Okay—

There's a lot of times we think—we say things are happening for you—not to you—

Oh—

And they're like—at this moment—you can call it happening for you—but in reality it's neither—they're like it's just happening—it is what it is—it's just happening—it's not happening for you—for your healing—for your growth—for your expansion—like no we're not looking at it that way today—we're just saying wow it's just happening—

Yep—

What is my choice?

And I'm gonna—yeah—I can just—the relief of you saying that it's just happening—get out of your heads—there's no reason to analyze it—there's no reason to give it the—for you—to you—none of that—none of that's needed—it's happening—and instantly when you just say it's happening—I felt the relief start to come in Kim—I felt the anger started coming through more as what it is—which is mild annoyance—it just ticked it down—it ticked it down so much—and what I mean by that is—it started to calm it—you can feel the relief—there's no manipulation going on—there's no meaning behind it—it's just—is right now—

Wow—

Yeah—but do what you need—to be functional with it—you know definitely get your release—do it however you need in a way that works for you—don't take it out on someone else—there's endless ways—

There's endless ways—it might be a new habit—it might be a new choice—you know—that’s when Kim and I said—we talked—and there's themes here—

First—I had that last night where I had a reaction old school Jill reaction skyrocketed really fast—and in the past I would have taken that out on someone else—and I just did my little rant did my stuff—and I told Kim and I said—that I took a shower—and I still was shaking my head—that’s not right nope just keep—and then eventually—it just ticked down—it just ticked down—and I could feel the release—the release of pressure—that’s what we’re looking for—you released it Kim—from conveying his anger—to mild annoyance—you release that differential there—that's—that’s what we want people to get to today—

If you do that today—

Oh my goodness—

That’s a massive massive win—

Yeah—

This is—

This one turned out a little bit better than where I thought it was going to go so thank you Jill

Yeah thank you Kim
