Time Change, Fresh Start

Are you ready to create a life you crave?

Let's spin that doom loop of negativity

into an upward success cycle and start living lucky.

Good morning.

I'm Jana. I'm Jason.

And we are living lucky.

You are too.

We had a news crew at our house at 6 a.m. this morning.

Waiting on the sunset.

Spectrum news.

Spectrum news wanted to do a story about Jason and I

and having ski camp here at the house.

And they wanted us to ski as the sun was rising.

They brought their drones so they get here.

I mean, it was dark out.

Now, mind you, the time changed last night.

Yes, and that threw me for a little loop.

So we actually lost an hour.

So we're actually getting up at, they're arriving at 5 a.m.

if we can put that in perspective.

Yes.

And believe it or not, we were not, I mean, I was scrambling.

Well, I forgot to set the clock by the bed.

I also forgot to set my cell phone or I set my cell phone alarm incorrectly,

which just, but I also, and I stayed up all night long.

And because we have guests, right?

Yes.

And here's the thing is the night.

So as we went to bed the night before, I told Jason,

I said, we have to get up a little early,

because we have to clean the house a little bit.

When you invite news crews into your house,

you have to pick up the, the odds and ends, right?

You want to look, you want to look better than just your everyday.

And here's the thing is our house is, is very,

I think it's immaculate, but I'm a little biased.

Well, we keep it well, but also we have guests.

We have guests here.

And so, and it's not the guestful.

Don't get me wrong.

Yes it is.

But when we have groups of people here, you know, cups.

Well, there's high traffic.

People have drinks.

High traffic areas create high traffic looks.

Yeah, and they may leave their hoodie on the table or the,

or, you know, they're getting cups.

Yeah, our socks on the floor.

That's Jason.

Jason was to leave his socks.

I love to leave my socks.

Well, here it is 6 a.m. in the morning.

It is pitch black because we lost an hour.

And the news crew was texting me saying, we're at the gate.

And I, I hop into the butler called most news to is at the gate.

I was putting on makeup, which I don't normally wear makeup when I ski,

but I wanted to at least look a little presentable.

I always wear makeup when I ski.

I could have put my waterproof mascara, which we know that ends up in them.

Right.

Miss Raccoon.

Raccoon eyes.

It was so chaotic.

It was fine.

It was very fun.

And we are so grateful to spectrum news.

And that story comes out in the next few days.

So we'll let you know.

However, what was so.

I just, what I want to really talk about today is the time change.

Yeah.

And how that really threw us for a loop.

Yeah.

I still struggle with, is it good or is it bad?

Like it's one of those things for me, because as a, as a mindset coach,

it's one of those things where change is good.

Yeah.

It kind of forces change for a majority of the public that habituates towards the norm or sameness.

And it also here in Florida, it's kind of a change of seasons.

Like getting up at 6 a.m. now is dark outside.

Well, the other part of that is, is the environment.

So the sun is constantly changing.

It's the, when the sun sets and when the sun rises and it's gradual.

So we don't, our bodies don't recognize that that's changing because it's so gradual.

You know.

And so we need that reset for ourselves.

Yes.

But when we have that hour shift, we get, we go into this little tizzy in this panic.

It's awesome.

It's awesome.

And then when we gain an hour, we're like, yay.

It's just an hour.

Yeah.

Right.

It's just an hour.

It would be like for us here in Florida, flying to Kansas.

Right.

That is just an hour change.

However.

When we fly to Australia, it's just 16 or no, 16 hours.

However, sometimes that hour does, it is surprising how it can affect.

It can affect us mentally, physically.

I feel, I feel lethargic physically.

And I think mentally, I feel foggy.

We went to, you know, toast masters.

And of course, you know, everyone was late for the meeting.

And I'm thinking, what is happening?

I look up at the clock.

The clock still hasn't been reset.

And sometimes I wonder, is it the story that we tell ourselves about that hour?

Yes.

Right.

How are you spending that hour?

Yeah.

Which I always, well, actually though, it's, we lost an hour.

Yeah.

Yes.

Well, I'm like, okay.

Well, I'm like, okay.

Well, I'm like, okay.

I was losing an hour.

And also, if we, if we are convinced that it's bad, if we're convinced that it's going to,

it's devastating and all that, is that the effect?

And that's the reality we're going to have.

And that's the reality we're going to have.

Or if we convince ourselves that, oh, this is going to be good because it's going to be

later.

It's going to be later later.

I get more sunshine all day long.

I get more opportunity to go out and actually just enjoy the world.

Like all this goodness.

Does that energize you and, and, and provide this new energy of life?

So, I mean, it's for, really, it was, I think, for farmers.

I haven't studied this whole day like this.

We don't know what we're talking about.

We just know how it has affected us.

Right.

Well, I mean, the whole, the whole world is talking about it.

I mean, they're talking about taking it away.

You know, they're talking about passing a bill to change it all.

I will say, but sometimes we have, we have, Jason has clients all over the world.

I have friends all over the world.

And sometimes you go to send a text and you think, oh, wait, they're in Oregon.

Right.

They're in Australia.

Right now, it's early in the morning for me.

It's in the middle of the night for them.

It is kind of confusing to always look at time zones.

Look at who's.

If I know where.

Yes.

Yeah.

And especially when we start having these international zooms, you know, like I have a coach

in South Africa.

Right.

And it is so confusing to me.

I'm like, okay, wait.

So are you holding it?

You're time.

Right time.

And sometimes on Zoom, they'll automatically change it for you.

Yeah.

And so I'm like, has it already been changed for me?

Or do I need to be responsible of this change?

Right.

Anyway.

So it is confusing.

Right.

However, if we didn't have it, I feel like our circadian rhythms might get a little wonky.

Because already with just a one hour change, mine feels a little off.

Well, it's, I think it's just getting into your routine.

Right.

So when I say a little off, the past month, month and a half, I have really noticed myself

just getting into this, it's time to make the double-done, like really kind of slow.

I've just kind of been, I needed a little, it's almost like I needed a B12 shot.

A booster shot.

A time zone change.

And so that's where I think, that's where I'm like, this is a good thing because we went

through the holidays.

Yes.

We reset and that our personal reset was slow.

Yes.

And I think one of the reasons it was slow was because we knew we had a lot of plans

coming up.

Yes.

We had two ski camps coming up.

We've got some speeches.

We've got all these.

Yes.

Coming for dinner.

Yeah.

All these other things coming.

And so we're like, let's wait to start that, that momentum, let's wait to get the

car rolling.

Yes.

On that first week.

When we knew, like our souls were saying, hey, let's just get this car rolling now because

we're go getters, you know?

We're showing our messy side as well.

We're doing right now.

I think, and I think people relate to this because it's like, a lot of times we start

thinking about, who do I want to be in June, you know, and we're like, okay, next year

I'm going to, or next quarter, I'm going to be in June, you know, and we're like, okay,

next quarter, I'm going to, it's hard to have gas on the pedal all year round.

Yes.

And that's where, and we know, and then we just need to coast, yeah, or schedule ourselves

to rest, recharge, and even just zone out a little bit, like just letting our brains

get spacey.

Yeah.

I think it's like rest, recharge, plan.

There's a, like allow yourself a planning space or a nothingness space, like I've got

a blog series that right now about just give yourself nothing to do.

Go for a nothing walk, like don't listen to a podcast, don't do anything.

Just give yourself, because in, that's how I feel when I color, yeah, in, when I color

or even do something art, puzzling, puzzling is, puzzling is a major nothingness space

for you, because it, like I see you come up with some of your best ideas when you do your

puzzles.

What are jigsaw puzzles?

Yeah.

And I'm like, I get fascinated, like watching you do that.

I do.

I really do.

The, for me, it's like going for a long walk.

Like when I did the commina de Santiago, I was like, I cried a lot.

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, that was a very emotional cathartic time for you.

Yeah.

Because I got all these downloads, all these, a lot of clarity in that.

And it's a, your brain needs space for nothing.

Yeah.

So then I think to tie that into what we're talking about today, when, when the time leaps

forward and all of a sudden, we have one less hour in the day for one day, for just one

day, but it still feels almost like we've been stripped of something.

I don't know why, but I guess what you're saying is it's all in our perspective and the

way we look at it.

And just talking this out has helped me realize, I do need this.

I do need this.

It's just a little, it's just a small amount of change and what it does, it says, it gives

us an opportunity to just recognize that there's a pattern in a rut.

It also reminds us to change the filters.

Right.

Change and change the batteries in the, the fire alarms, the smoke alarms, the light bulbs,

the batteries and the filters.

Yeah.

That's what you do when the time changes.

So smart.

That way, you don't have to wake up in the middle of the night for, be, be recap for us.

Because when you need to change, give yourself some space to just recharge and plan and rest,

do nothing and stop taking everything so serious.

When there is a forced change, like the time zone, learn to adapt, roll with it.

That needs to be our new saying, just roll with it.

Thanks for joining us.

Keep living luck.
