00:16.960 --> 00:25.516
Hey my people, I'm back. Now, here it is. You have my permission to want good things again

00:26.158 --> 00:32.960
'cause we did 'Letting Go' and it was all so deep. But now we're picking things back up.

00:33.670 --> 00:41.596
And this is episode one of 'Picking Things Back Up'. Now the first thing we're going to pick is Peace.

00:41.690 --> 00:52.950
So welcome back. Now, here it is. Peace isn't loud. It's not 'ati' confetti and announcements and

00:53.044 --> 01:03.675
"A-li-li-li-li-li!" I don't know what. No! Peace sounds boring. Sometimes, you know, quiet mornings.

01:04.398 --> 01:09.995
No more checking of your social media page, sleeping through the night.

01:11.910 --> 01:21.912
And what you need to remember, this same peace, you lost it sometime back when you were gripping

01:22.005 --> 01:27.040
too tight to stuff, too tight to relationships, too tight to projects that weren't working, too

01:27.134 --> 01:38.394
tight to control. So today, we pick it up gently. Choose one quiet thing, not 'ati' (like) 10 habits.

01:40.081 --> 01:46.642
One. Five minutes of no phone. Have some tea without scrolling.

01:46.950 --> 02:00.232
Silence is peace coming back. Now, you need to stop arguing in your head, having a meeting with

02:00.326 --> 02:07.436
You, Yourself and You, you know, with them, with whoever hurt you,

02:07.529 --> 02:16.474
and with the naysayers and even with God. So you drop that case. Not everything needs a verdict.

02:18.790 --> 02:22.472
But the only thing you need to really do,

02:24.079 --> 02:28.711
guard your gates. You know your gates, your heart, your emotions, your what?

02:29.675 --> 02:37.441
Guard them by what you watch, who you text, what you replay at 2am.

02:39.276 --> 02:46.078
Peace will die there first. Okay, so you've got to guard it. And peace won't chase you.

02:47.042 --> 03:01.994
You have to pick it up, okay? If your chest feels tight right now, exhale.

03:03.122 --> 03:07.162
That's peace saying, "I'm still here."

03:08.157 --> 03:14.076
And you deserve some quiet. So pick it up.
