0:06nasally and all that currently under the weather getting better definitely had
0:16to update you speak my mind and do the work while I take a little break and
0:22recover it's as funny as you know we feel ill on the path of healing they feel
0:35sick or whatever the case may be just not a hundred percent it's it's like we
0:46journey and all of a sudden we get hyper focus once we get a hundred percent we
0:54just we just do the work and that's kind of kind of what I'm on the path of
1:01doing right now it's funny to say just just doing the work and being
1:09hyper focused like I got so much done today after just recovering I'm almost
1:16a hundred percent as you can hear I'm still nasally like I was going through
1:22it I don't even speak about the past few days it's been aching and sore it's been
1:31crazy but the recovery is good I'm feeling much better and I just been
1:39getting work done I've just been knocking out a lot of things I had time to sit
1:45there lay there think about everything I had to do once I found the strength had
1:53the energy to do all these things I've just been doing it I've been really
2:01really knocking out everything I had on my list that I'm supposed to do
2:06should be doing could be doing pass through I just begin to done so I'm
2:14encouraging anyone to get sick or ill or any of those things but try to get hyper
2:21focus don't don't let you know these misfortunes and setbacks be the only
2:32way to catapult you forward that's more so a word and lesson for me but

3:34but you know it helped me be more grateful when I'm at full health and a
3:40hundred percent or even over a hundred percent I know I haven't been
3:45getting a lot of rest or much rest like I should be average like four and
3:51a half hours five hours maybe max my day you know sometimes even two and a
4:00three hours which is like insane you know compared to the amount of work
4:09that should be accomplished it needs to be done you know compared to that the
4:15average is like seven to eight and a half hours of rest each day and I
4:21would love to get that definitely one day someday someday soon you know I'm
4:28thinking about what my full capability would be if I got eight hours of rest
4:35each and every day if I'm at full energy each and every day if I'm at
4:42full mental capacity each and every day but I'm always grateful I'm always
