SPEAKER_00: 0:06

Hello magical human and welcome back to Madison Mindset the podcast. We are on a walk. I have not done a walking and talking podcast for a long time. So I thought, why not? I've got a walk ahead of me and I'm always talking to myself. I'm always thinking thinking thoughts, talking thoughts, all kinds of things, wondering about life and all that kind of stuff. So I thought, why not invite you on that journey? After all, that's why I started a podcast. So today I want to talk to you about 10 things that I just don't understand about society, about ourselves, about the world that we've created as a collective, and we're not blaming anyone, we're not saying it's our responsibility, but I'm just curious. I really want to know like how did we end up here? Because it just doesn't seem right. So the first one is more of an experience I had, but I was going to teach yoga, and in my in the building I teach yoga, there's a few other businesses going as well, so it's not just me. And there were two girls leaning on the on the outer wall of the yoga studio. They were just leaning and they were scrolling on their phones. And I was kind of late for class, so I just assumed that they were yoga students potentially. And so I walked past them and I said, very friendly, hey, how are you? Like, really, like just happy, you know, just hello, how's it going? And I kid you not, they both looked at me like I was from another planet. They like looked me up and down and like gave me this side eye, and then went straight back to their phone, didn't even say anything. It was so weird. And the crazy thing about that for me is like, you know, you're scrolling on Instagram. Like, I could see that they were scrolling on Instagram. Like, and so many people on Instagram, like, what do they do? Hey everyone, hi, what's up, everyone? Like, literally, every time you scroll, you know, there's people saying hello, whatever, and you're totally fine with complete strangers that live on the internet, you're totally fine with those people saying, Hey, how are you? You've got no problem with that. But if a real life human being, that granted, maybe you don't know, fine, you don't know me, that's fine. You know, a real life human being says hello, how are you? And you look at them like they're insane. That's not the case, you know. Like, that's just and I just the thought that entered my head was like, how have we ended up here? Like, if someone says hello to me, you know, I say hello back, you know, whether I know them or not, whether it's annoying or not, whatever. Like you say hello. So it just blew my mind that I got such attitude from that, and it just made me laugh. I was like, wow, this is the world we're living in. That's pretty sad. We can't even say hello to each other. Number two is we've lost all survival skills. All survival skills, seriously, like we don't know how to find water, we don't know how to find food, we don't know how to build a shelter, we don't know how to, you know, we don't know how to do anything. We barely know how to build community, how to build connection anymore. It's so sad. And this is something I think about regularly, especially like we've had a lot of storms here recently and the power goes off, right? Everyone becomes useless. Absolutely useless. Everyone's like, oh, how am I supposed to shower? Oh, how am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to do that? Including me. I'm not saying I've got this nailed. I'm like, you just turn completely useless, don't you? When the internet's off, when you know, when the phone doesn't work, when the battery's flat, when the lights don't come on, when the water doesn't magically appear through the tap when you turn it, you know, like you become completely useless. Can you imagine? Like in the worst case scenario of our world, because let's face it, our world is pretty messed up at the moment. Who knows what's gonna happen? Like, you can't predict what's gonna happen. Like, I've heard a variety of different things, all of it makes me scared. Yeah, so there's a lot of things happening in this world. Who knows where we're gonna end up? Let's say we end up in a situation where there's no internet, no power, it's just literally us with what we've got. No phones, you can't Google anything, you don't have any maps on your phone. What do you do? Because seriously, I speak about this with my partner all the time, and even close friends. We would be useless, absolutely useless. All life skills, even like sewing and stitching and you know, mending clothes, making clothes, even that has become something we've just let robots do. You know, we don't do it. Very few people, there's some people in the world still doing it, but how many of us actually know how to do it? It's all it's all a dying art, and that's so sad. Like, how can we let survival skills become a dying art? We are useless, and it is absolutely hilarious. And if you don't believe me, go on a hike. Go on a hike, try not to touch your phone, go on a long hike and notice that you've got no idea. If you were to spend the night out there without a fancy human-made tent and all your expensive camping gear, what would you do? Do you know how to make a fire? Do you know how to find water, clean water? You know, do you know how to scavenge for food? Like, do you know what plants you can eat in your area? Like, seriously, I've only just started eating plants from the bush, and it is so invigorating. It's like, wow, I just ate something that costs nothing and is 100% organic. And you've got so many plants out there that you could do that with, and yet none of us know how to identify the plants or what to do with them. And even if we did, most of us don't know how to make a fire so that we can actually cook them. And if you don't have any pots, what are you gonna do? You know, just think about that. We how every animal on earth has amazing survival skills, maybe except the um the toy poodle mixes we've made. I don't know about their survival skills, but I still think they'd be better than us. You know, we've just I don't know how we've ended up there, but it's really depressing to me. Number three, we prioritize how our life looks versus how it feels. You know, it's more important to so many of us that our Instagram profile is perfect, you know, that our life looks amazing, and we tell our friends, like, oh, my life's amazing, you know, like everything's great, you know. What putting on this facade, you know, we buy furniture we don't even like just because it's popular, we put clothes on we don't even like just because they're fashionable. You know, we tell people, oh, they're amazing, you know. You always put on this fake smile and you tell everyone you're good when when they ask how you are. You put on this facade. Even some of us choose friends and partners based on how that makes you look. Like when I was in high school, I was desperate to be friends with the cool kids. Even though I had good friends, I had kind people around me. That wasn't good enough for me because they weren't cool, right? I wanted the friends that are cool because it made me look a certain way, you know, and being seen with someone who's not cool makes you look bad, right? Now that's just one example. But how many times do we choose a car? Not because it's practical or because we like it, but because it's cool. You know how many times do we choose partners or even hobbies because they're cool or because they make us seem a certain way, they make you look rich, they make you look happy, they make you look successful, whatever it is. How many times do we do that? Because ultimately, no one is living your life but you. You're the one that has to deal with it. Whether anyone thinks you're cool or not because of the car you drive or the partner you have, it literally changes nothing. It literally changes nothing. You know, you're the one that has to live with it. So stop worrying about so much. Who the hell cares what your life looks like? Who cares? Who cares what your body looks like, you know, with how many filters everyone's using, you know, who cares? Ultimately, it doesn't matter. No one cares that much. No one's thinking about you as much as you might like to think they are, right? No one is. And yet we get very stuck in our heads about all of that, and we get distracted and overwhelmed and all the things. It's it's silly, and I can't believe that that's the priority. You know, when you look around, you really ask yourself the question, what are we doing? It just doesn't make any sense. Number four, we somehow seem to overlook the fact that there is so much chemicals, so much toxin, so much poison in our food and water, and around us in the world. People walk past rubbish, they don't even pick it up. You drink all the water, you don't even think about what's in it. You know, you buy things, products, like you go to fast food places and you pick up food that's literally got zero natural stuff in it, and you eat it. You don't even think about it. How many people don't think about it? What's in your toothpaste? What's in your moisturizer? What's in your water? What's in all that stuff? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Some of us have. You know, some of us get way too into it and get overwhelmed. I'm not into getting overwhelmed about it. Sometimes it has to be what it is. You know? You can only do the best you can do, but very like there should be more people talking about it. We should be, you know, going, hello, can we do something about the fact that everything's poison? Can we think about that? What we're breathing is poison, what we're eating is poison, what we're even what you're seeing is poison. It's just being poisoned on all levels. And no one thinks about it. Very rarely does anyone actually think. Hey, maybe we should do something about this. Hey, maybe I don't want my grandchildren living in this same world that I've had to deal with. You know, maybe I want something different. Do you think about that? I really encourage you to think. I really encourage you to think about what you're doing. You know, do you think about what you put in your body? Do you think about what you're breathing in? Even things that are so-called natural, and they're write natural on the packet or organic, even those things, you gotta watch for them. It's it's crazy. The fact that we have to do that is crazy, but I think what's crazier is that we're not thinking about it. And so many of us just stick our head in the sand, don't think about it. That's not gonna help. I'm not telling you to get worried about it and be upset about it. I'm just telling you to think about it. Because conversations and talking to people is how we inspire change. Nothing changes if you're just gonna stick your head in the sand and do nothing. You have to actually be willing to do something, be willing to say something, be willing to speak about it, be willing to look into it, and then something might change. You'll inspire that change. Number five, nature is a place to visit instead of being our home. This is crazy to me, you know, and it's taken me a long time to get here because often when I'm out in nature, which I'm sure many of us can feel that, you know, it's so beautiful and you have so much fun. But when you get back to your car and you get to go back home and you just feel that comfort settling, you're like, oh, big day, just need to rest and watch Netflix. You know, it's so funny that we need a break from our actual home, you know, and something that reminds me of this is my like our eyes, right? We're always staring at screens. And I had this experience probably a couple years ago. I really started to notice it, and now I'm like working on it big time, trying not to look at the screen as much, although it's pretty hard when you work online not to work, not to look at the screen, you know, but literally like I started to get super sensitive eyes, and to the point where looking, you know, around in the sun, or look like when I was driving, especially, and particularly in the morning, like early morning, looking far into the distance hurt, like it actually hurt. And I was like, Oh, maybe I need glasses, like what's going on? Maybe I'm long-sighted or short-sighted or whatever it's called when you struggle to see long distance. Um, yeah, I was like, oh, maybe I've got a problem with my eyes, got all the eye tests, nothing wrong. And what I found while experimenting with myself and trying to figure out what was going on was that when I was looking at my phone, my eyes were perfect. My eyes were literally perfect. I felt great. In fact, looking at a phone felt more natural to me than looking out into the distance, looking into actual life. And how backwards is that? Like, we're literally morphing into robots. I was like, well, that can't, like, I can't do that. So looking long distance is something I practice actively now because all the close looking and screen contact is just causing so much eye problems as well. Nature is not a place to visit, it's your home, your body is nature, we are nature. It's not somewhere you visit when you have the time, it's where we're actually meant to be. Let that soak in because it's us, it's like visiting your mom. You've got to visit, you know, visiting your family. Go and visit nature, go and be with nature. I wish we could turn it around. I wish we could visit towns and cities, but live amongst the nature. What a weird world. Give me a moment of your time. I have come from a huge struggle with anxiety. It has taken me many years to befriend anxiety. Will I say to you that I'm finished with anxiety and it's gone? No. But I can say that I have a much better relationship with it and I'm able to bring myself out of anxious spirals and into a state of peace and allowing. It is for this reason that I started this podcast, that I started self-growth, and that I'm so passionate in helping people learn the art of yoga, the art of self-awareness and meditation, and so many other philosophies and practices. Currently, I am giving away free 30-minute coaching sessions. These sessions are for the person who is dealing with anxiety, who is feeling perhaps a lot of self-doubt or overwhelm or stress, and you're finding it difficult to go about your everyday life, to create the life that you want to create.

If that's where you're at, I want you to go below and claim your free 30-minute coaching session. And we're going to go through some things that might help you.

Let's get back to the episode. Number six is a big one. We prioritize leveling up in games and in social media and in all things work-related. We prioritize leveling up in those ways, those superficial materialistic ways that really don't mean anything, over leveling up in our relationships and in our friendships and in our health. You know, why don't you prioritize going deeper with your partner? Why don't you prioritize you know getting to know each other on a deeper emotional level or meeting yourself in a deeper way or meeting your friends in a deeper way? Why don't you deepen and level up? Quote, level up in the things around you that really matter, in the family, the friends, you know, all of those kind of things in your own body, in your health. Why don't you learn how to do something? Level up in a skill sense. You know, learn how to do something, learn how to cook something, learn how to make something. Level up in that way. Those are the truly fulfilling ways to level up in this life. But what are we all focused on? Yeah, we're all focused on these silly things, you know, leveling up in games. Who cares? It literally does nothing for you. It's crazy, you know. We prioritize leveling up in social media, getting how how many likes, how many followers. We prioritize leveling up in work. All of that stuff ends. All that ends in the end, it doesn't really mean anything. It doesn't give your life true meaning. Yeah, it gives you that dopamine hit that, you know, it gives you a boost of energy for a moment, but it doesn't give you any long-term goodness, you know, but but that's where our priorities seem to lie. And when you look around, that's where the priorities are. People are more focused on watching TV or playing games or just silly things, and yet we give our partner very little attention, we give our kids very little attention, we give our family very little, we give our body very little. It's it's crazy, right? Re-establish your priorities. What's really important? What's what really matters at the end of the day, at the end of your life? What truly matters? Follow your heart in that way. Number seven, this is a controversial one for sure. Allowing our human skills to be outsourced to AI. The things that make you human, your creativity, your ideas, your researching, your thinking, your analyzing, your problem solving, all of those things that make you you, all of those things that make human beings so special, all of them that make us different to you know other animals and other creatures, all of those things we are outsourcing to some robot we can't even see yet. Like, you know what we're doing. You know, we're we're surrendering everything it means to be us. What's the need? What is our point? What's our purpose on the planet? If we have created something that can do everything that we do but better, and it can do it without pay, without emotional ties, without a break, without Rest, it's gonna be better than all of us. It's just gonna be better. But you know what? It's it doesn't have it doesn't have real meaning, it doesn't have real purpose, it doesn't have emotion around it, it doesn't have love covering it, it doesn't have passion, which is what humans bring to the table. But what's gonna be more valuable in the end? Human skill and human heart, or just getting it done and getting it done well. It's crazy that we're allowing that to happen. I am doing all I can to not use these things. The only AI I have used is ChatGBT, very basic level. I don't pay for it. And I only do that when I feel like I can't get my head around how to sound nice in an email or things like that, or you know, weekly email blasts and things like that. I'll get AI to help me out with because I've got so many other creative things that I want to be doing. But that is it. I've put the limit on myself. I'm like, I'm not because it's gonna be easier to get AI to make a picture for me or a podcast episode for me or whatever it is, yeah, that's gonna be easier. But you know what? There's no point in doing anything if we do it like that. I want to be human. I want, you know, my interactions and everything about me to be from my heart and from my voice, even if it could have been better with AI. I don't care. I don't care. Because everything we choose to do, we're we're casting a vote. You know, is it helpful to have these things to help us? Yes. But I would rather do it myself than have it take over everything. Think about that. What are you allowing? What are you saying yes to? What are your kids or your grandkids gonna have to put up with because of what we're choosing to do? Think about it. Really think about it and ask yourself is that what you want to be doing? Number eight. The next big thing that I just can't believe we're not doing something about like, what are we doing? Is smartphone addiction. People are aware, you know, we always love to say, like, oh, I couldn't do anything without my phone. You know, people are so, you know, so willing to admit that. You know, if you ask anyone, you know, I can't spend five minutes without my phone, you know, if I'm waiting in a line, I just go straight onto my phone, I can't stop scrolling. You know, many people are willing to admit that. Many people say that like it's quite a normal thing. But the smartphone itself has caused a whole new area of addiction. There was a 2003 summary of 82 studies that said worldwide, so these are worldwide studies, it has shown that 25 to 35 percent of people are addicted to their phone worldwide, which is insane. Now that might seem like a really small number, like oh, it's only 25, you know, 35%. Who cares? That's a massive chunk of the global population. Like, that is insane, you know, that that many people worldwide, 30, let's just say 30% of the world of the 7, 8 billion people that are on the earth right now are addicted to their phones. And I'm sure, as you can imagine, like any addiction, you know, like smoking or drinking or whatever it is, you know, there's people who are really addicted and people who have a minor, minor addiction or show some symptoms. So, really, how many people have some level of smartphone addiction? You know, and I can easily say that I have definitely got signs of smartphone addiction 100%. You know, I notice it all the time. I notice when when I'm in a line or I've got nothing to do or I'm bored, I go straight to Instagram, scrolling, right? And it's taken so much mental energy to stop doing that. And you know what was funny, my brain is so clever, I was like, I don't want to scroll on Instagram anymore, I don't want to scroll on Instagram anymore. So I stopped scrolling on Instagram, but I started scrolling on YouTube. So now I'm scrolling on YouTube shorts, you know, and then I was like, oh my gosh, this is a serious problem. You know, I'm quite self-aware. I've done a lot of work on myself, I've done a lot of self-growth work. I look into, you know, wellness and health and healing and you know afflictions of the mind. I'm fascinated by it, I've dealt with it. I now do that as a job. That's literally my job is to help people get out of, you know, mental afflictions, you know, big trouble with the mind, you know, anxiety, stress, etc., all of those things. And what's insane is that even I was like, oh, I'm addicted to my phone. Or I'm definitely showing some kind of signs of that happening. So that's absolutely unbelievable. You know, how many people are not aware? We're not aware, and younger people, you know, who are in their, you know, early teenage, late teenage years, you know, I'm late 20s now, and I struggle, and I didn't grow up with a phone. But those of us who have literally grown up with phones that have been thrown phones from the moment they were old enough to hold something, can you imagine the addiction level there? You wouldn't even see it as a problem, you know, because it's just part of you. So we seem to be ignoring this. You know, there are, you know, there are starting to be regulations and things around phones, you know, like, oh, 16-year-olds and younger, not allowed to be on social media or whatever it is. You know, there's a lot of that stuff going on at the moment, but that's not ultimately helping the problem. You know, that's not helping the problem. It's not making the phones any less addictive, it's just cancelling it for younger people. But ultimately, they'll get back on it one day and there'll still be the same addictive problems. You know, like my like I've seen signs in all of my family members of some level of smartphone addiction. And some of my family members are in their 60s. Older, you know. It really doesn't matter how much time you have away from your smartphone. You know, you can ban as many people as you want. Ultimately, smartphones themselves are designed to be addictive, and there are things we could do to fix that. That we could design apps differently, we could design algorithms differently, we could design them so that they're supportive to our health, but no, why? Because there's money involved here, right? The more addicted we are, the more at the mercy we are of smartphones. And it is becoming a huge global crisis. And I seriously think it's one of those things that not enough not enough people talk about, not enough people are thinking about, and one day we're gonna have a huge problem on our hands. Something we should be doing about it right now is monitoring that and doing things to get away from that addiction, right? Any addiction can be very unhealthy. You know, if you're addicted to eating broccoli, you should be alright. But even then, too much broccoli can damage you as well. You know, there's there's so much going on here, we have to think about what we're doing. Ultimately, we have to think about what we're doing and choose again because this whole smartphone addiction thing is only gonna get worse, and as I said, very few people are talking about it, and even fewer people are actually actively doing something to get off their phone. So, seriously, I encourage you to monitor your phone usage, look at it. Are you addicted to it? Can you put it away for a day and not miss it? Can you sign out of Instagram and not log back in and be honest with yourself? Because if I'm honest with you, I really struggle with that, and I've been trying really hard to not do that. So I know it is a form of addiction, and anyone who's tried to break their phone habit would say a very similar thing that it is addictive, and we've got to do something about it. There's a better way to design it. So the more of us that talk about it, the more chance there is of us actually doing something about it. Number nine, we normalize putting our health, our happiness, our joy, our rest. We normalize putting all of that at the bottom of our priority list. We put all of those things that really matter. The time spent working on your health, the time spent with your family, the time spent with your partner, the time spent enjoying your life, having a good time, you know? The time spent really doing something that's worthwhile, that makes you feel alive, your rest, recovery. We put all of that on the bottom of the priority list. And what goes above that? Oh, I don't know. How our lives look to others, the way our bodies look. Who cares if they're healthy? You know, it's just got you just got to look a certain way, right? You know how we look, we prioritize work and literally getting to the point of burnout and then even pushing through burnout like it's totally normal. How can we have ended up in a world where work is more important than rest? Where gaining more and more on the success and financial and materialistic front, that's more important than having high-quality relationships. It sounds nuts when I'm saying it, but if you really think about it, do you see how true that is? Because what you prioritize should be seen in your actions. Okay, like when someone tells you they prioritize you, if you're a priority to your partner or whoever, but they never make time for you, they never actually show up for you, are you really the priority, even though they've said you are? You know the answer to that question, don't you? You know the answer to that question. If I say I prioritize you and you're important to me, and yet I never make any time to spend time with you or to talk to you or to call you, do you feel like a priority in my life? No. Okay, so you can say you prioritize health, rest, healing, friends, family, having fun. You can say you prioritize it, but what do your actions say? Do your actions say that you really prioritize your rest, your health, your recovery, or are you full of it? Right? And this is not your fault. I'm not here to blame or criticize anyone. I'm just here to highlight some things that I've noticed that perhaps you might want to take a look at. And obviously, for the majority of listeners, I don't know who you are, I don't know what you're about or how you ended up listening, but you're still here, so you must find something interesting or intriguing. This is what I've seen as a yoga teacher, as a mindset coach, as someone who just lives in and amongst society dealing with people. These are the things I've picked up, and it just doesn't seem right to me. So I'm addressing it by talking to you about it, and maybe we can all individually choose again or rethink what we're doing. Because often you need feedback in life. Like if no one ever points out to you, hey, how about this that you're doing, or saying that doesn't make much sense. If no one gives you feedback, how are you supposed to change anything, right? So this is me giving you feedback. I don't know. We're all at different points. If you're listening to this podcast, you probably do really genuinely care about your health, healing, and well-being. But it is something to think about. Your actions speak louder than words. So if you really prioritize health, rest, well-being, make your actions make your actions actually show that. Not just saying it. And finally, number 10. We all believe that we have no power to change the world. I often say this in yoga, you know, we often you'll hear people say, Oh, you know, what's the point of, you know, trying to do anything? I'm only one person. What can I really do? You know, I'm only one person. And the saddest thing about that is so many of us don't realise that if you're saying that and the person next to you is saying that, and we're all just saying, oh, you know, we're only one person, what effect? Because that could that possibly have? Imagine if every single person in the world was saying, Oh, well, I'm only one person, what good can it do? Then that would be every single person in the world thinking that they're only one person, and what's the point of even trying? But don't you say you are so powerful. You know, we are made to believe that we have no power, that we have no real influence, that you don't have any real say. You do what you say yes to, what you say no to, what you say, what you think, the actions you take, it all says something about you, it all casts votes into the world. What we should change it to is I'm just one person, and one person has proven plenty of times in history that they can change the world. So don't believe for a second that you don't have the power to change your life, to change the lives of others, to make a real difference in the world. You have more power than you realize. And I hope that you really see that. I pray that you see that and learn that well, because that's the reality. You have so much influence and so much power, and the world benefits from thinking that, from making you believe that you do not have the power, but you do. And I want you to know that and I want you to feel that and believe it deeply. And no longer are we using the excuse, oh, I'm only one person, what's the point? You know, that just takes the you know, that takes it out of our hands, you know, and that must that's nice for a little bit, like, oh, you know, I can't be held responsible. It's like, what if you are? What if you are one person and maybe you're the one person that's gonna change it or that's gonna inspire so many other one persons to actually come aboard and start looking at changing things. You could be that one person, you are that one person. So don't ever let your that those words come out of your mouth. Don't even let that affirmation come into your head. I'm only one person, what good will it do? You could do so much. One person can change the world. And I want you to believe that, and I think all of us should believe that. Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode, Magical Human. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope it gave you something to reflect upon, to think about, to ponder all of those things. I really hope it helps. You know, these are again, these are just things that I've observed. I'm in no way judging anybody. I'm here as well, I'm in the same boat. And one of my favorite things is to point things out to myself or have my partner or family point things out to me and go, oh, right, maybe I should think about that. So I hope this gave you something to reflect upon, something to think about. And even if it doesn't inspire you to change, I hope it inspires you to come up with a real reason for why you're doing something and to just make you think a little bit more about the choices that you make so you have more control over the choices that you want to make and say yes to. I appreciate your presence here, beautiful soul. Enjoy the rest of your day, and I'll see you in the next episode. Love that.
