JC explores self-care and the thin space between past and future, with a light physiology primer on the medulla oblongata and how automatic bodily functions operate during moments of being on autopilot.
On Sundays, we talk about self care. Dream big says, today I'll be sharing about it. Make sure you check out what dream big is going to be talking about later on today. Every live stream becomes pre recorded content.
We all have a little part of our brain called our medulla oblongata. It's the part that does things for us so we don't have to. Sometimes when we're in automated mode, we miss out on being in the moment.
Well, happy Sunday, everybody. How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? I hope you are great. I really do. But even if you aren't, that's okay. You're still in the right place. How many places can you think of? I'm trying. I'm thinking right alongside you right now. How many places can you think of that you can be not great and still be welcome? And just as equitably as you would be as if you were great? I don't know if I can think of anybody or any other place. Speak wonder Jules. Ha ha.
Hey, my friends. How are you? Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Nice to see you. My friend. Doctor Therese, nice to see you. This really is a place where you can be dream big, everybody. In just a few hours, you're going to be able to see dream big right here on the Cadre sphere. So come on back throughout today. Or if you can't come back throughout the day, the nice thing is every live stream becomes pre recorded content, right? So you can be like, I really want to go ahead and check out what dream big has to say today.
So if I would be like, hey, dream big, Jane, what are you going to be talking about later today? If you have a moment, type it into chat, and then you go. It's like, wow, that sounds interesting. Check it out whenever you have time. But hey, my name is JC. If we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time and space with with you right now. It is a gift. Speak, wonder. I'm right with you. I do a lot of replay. There's something nice about being able to be live with people.
But the good thing is just like frozen fruit, it's just as nutritious to catch things. Oh my gosh. Happy birthday, doctor Therese. Doctor Therese, can I sing happy birthday to you? Would that be okay? Let me know if that would be not weird. And if that would be not weird, I would love to sing happy birthday to you. But just like frozen fruit, it is just as nutritious as fresh fruit. The world tries to tell us that it's not, but actually it is. So here's the deal. On Sundays, we talk about self care.
We talk about you taking care of yourself, which is something that is really normal. Dream big says, today I'll be sharing about it disappeared. I couldn't see in time, but I think everybody else did. So make sure you check out what dream big is going to be talking about later on today. Studies. We talk about self care and I talk about thin space, that space in between everything that has happened and everything that will happen. And today, I want to kind of get a little physiological on you. We all have a little part of our brain called our medulla oblongata.
It's a really cool part of our brain, the part of our brain that does things for us so we don't have to. Like, it beats our heart, blinks our eyes. It breathes for us. It does all of those automated things that if we had to, and there's some awful autoimmunes out there that actually mess up the medulla oblongata to where it doesn't do these automated things for people. But it's a beautiful thing. Imagine if you had to say beat heart. If you had to say breathe lungs, if you were to say blink eyes, if you had to say, ouch, fire, pull my hand away.
We have a wonderful medulla oblongata that does these automated things for us. Here's the deal. Sometimes when we're in automated mode, we miss out on being in the moment that we are in. Here's something goofy that just happened. So as if we've shared time and space together before. You know, I am often in my Mazda three because I'm on the move. And on Sundays, I am always in my car because I stop on my commute to my piano bench. I'm a musician on Sunday mornings, so I always stop at a gas station and perch for my live stream.
And I always stop and get some gss. That is the acronym, of course, for gas station snacks. Today, I got some chocolate covered pretzels, and I got a pipeline punch. But I tell you, I always go to this gas station right over here because it has one of my favorite beverages that most other gas stations doesn't have. It has the beverage, like, 80% of the time. Today, it didn't have it. Shucks. Well, I got up to checkout, and all of a sudden, I started putting in my loyalty number in the keypad, and it said, I tried typing it again.
Guess what? Error, error, error. I'm like, excuse me, my loyalty number is not working, literally, ever.
