A Tuesday conversation about building community and noticing emotions, inviting viewers to ask why they're feeling what they feel and trace those roots. Includes an example of travel-linked disconnection and John Batiste's cover playing.
On Tuesdays, we talk about building community. Sometimes when we think about mental health, it's a very personal thing. The things that may cause stress or anxiety or worry or all those feelings. Especially if you are building community today.
My invitation is for you to ask, why? Why are you feeling what you're feeling? Acknowledging that is you acknowledging that you are alive. Find your heart, find your soul and find your specificity. And maybe put on a little John Baptiste because it will make you feel good.
Hey, good morning, Cadre. We'll let the music play on it. It's all right, it's all right. Have a good time. Cause it's all right. Hey, Jules. Hey, Beezabetz. Speak Wonder. Oh, Chris Fortman. Happy Tuesday, y'all. Trendia. Nice to see you. That it's all right. Hey, it's all right. Oh, we'll hit the pause there. Ah, John Padist. On a Tuesday morning feels good. Does anybody know what movie that song got re recorded for? Anybody see. See a movie recently with that song in it? Feels like I can't remember what year the movie came out, but I'll let that be our morning trivia.
Our morning song it's all right cover by John Batiste. What movie was that in the meantime? Happy Tuesday, everybody. I hope it's a happy Tuesday. I hope you're doing okay. And if you're not doing okay, if you're not happy, that is okay, too. Why? Because life is filled with all the things with feeling, all the things with being a human who has systems that invite us to feel and think and worry and wonder and hope and dream and all of that stuff. On Tuesdays, we talk about building community. How great is that, right?
Sometimes when we think about mental health, it's a very personal thing. It's a personal development, a professional development. Our grief, our loss, our caretaking, our self care. And then all of a sudden, on Tuesday, we talk about how do we coexist? You know, if you had a nickel for every time someone today said, oh, it's election day, or, oh, did you vote or up? How are you feeling about the election? I bet you'd have a lot of nickels by the time the day was done. Especially if you are building community today, right?
The things that may cause stress or anxiety or worry or all those feelings that we put in the bucket of like, gosh, I don't want to feel that. I need to. I need to get rid of that feeling. My invitation today is when you're feeling something, whether that be in your own bubble or the collective bubble of the community that you're building. My invitation is for you to ask, why? Why are you feeling what you're feeling? I'll give you an example. I have been in New York City for the last four days, and now I'm back in Minnesota, and this morning I'm feeling a little disconnected, a little like, where am I?
What day is it? What's going on? And if someone would say, jc, why are you feeling that way? It wouldn't Take me too long. But even if it would take me too long, I could arrive at an answer. An answer that would be pretty accurate. Why? Because I would be assessing my own self and going, huh, so why am I carrying this feeling? Why is, why is my body outputting this feeling? I'd be able to answer it. You know, there's a lot of work going on right now of how to deal with election anxiety or how to deal with do, do, do, do.
I think we often skip the first step. And that is, well, why are you feeling what you're feeling? Whatever you're feeling today, I bet it has some roots, I bet it has some starting point. Acknowledging that is you acknowledging that you are alive. It's you acknowledging that you have this body with all of its supporting systems that shows you that you are on your side. Juul says, I'm feeling very tired, so I'm skipping my workout, Jules. And you just, you're always so good at then looking at what the next step provides, right?
So going I'm feeling very tired opens up the door for you to first of all ask why? And then the next question is that, so now what? So Jules is feeling very tired. I bet Jules knows why Jules is feeling tired. And because now that you go, huh, here's my current reality. How do you show yourself that you are on your side? You respond, you do something good for yourself in full circle today, when quite often we feel anxiety or stress, what do we do? We close off from the world. One of the best things to do is to outward facing click is to go ahead and say, hey, world, I'm going to connect with you right now because that benefits the world and it benefits you.
The world is your sunshine. The world is your, is your rain. The world is your oxygen. All of these things that we need. Take down the umbrella today and say, huh, hey world, here's what I'm feeling and why. Then you invite the world to ask and answer the same questions. Then all of a sudden, you're not so alone anymore, y'all. John Baptiste's it's all right was covered in the movie Soul, a movie about finding your essence, your heart, your specificity. Find that today. Find your heart, find your soul, find your specificity.
And maybe put on a little John Baptiste because it always will make you feel good. I promise you that, y'all. Betsy Hodges coming up in a couple of hours. Dr. Leslie Davis, a couple hours after that. Hey, it's all right. It's all right. See you later, everybody.
