[00:00:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Determine what's important to you
[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Know what you want for the right now in your life
[00:00:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Whether that's like, what a gem!
[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to make sure information is tight and to watch
[00:00:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to build a business
[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to get the tendons
[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to taint it all out
[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Hold on to what's really important to you right now
[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the first thing, right?
[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So the first check is
[00:00:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever somebody asks all of you in the inside
[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_00]: They're asking you to do something
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_00]: They want some control
[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_00]: You want the witty to be there for them to do something
[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_00]: First check is
[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it to keep with their priorities?
[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And if it's a no
[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: The answer is
[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for asking
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_00]: That'll see
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have the taint on that today
[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a no
[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to get the line
[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So check your priorities
[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Next thing
[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Is what they're asking of you
[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Going against your values
[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Does it make your values?
[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And if it's against your values
[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's really important to know your values then
[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I know
[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_00]: It's really important to bring your unconscious values
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_00]: To the consciousness
[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Because they're the signposts
[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, if you know your values then
[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: That's you
[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_00]: You've painted them with neon lights
[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_00]: To make sure that then you're always staying on track
[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_00]: With your values
[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Third one, mental health and energy
[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_00]: If what they're asking of me
[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Is going against
[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to help my mental health
[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Or I don't have the energy for it
[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have the time for it
[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's a no
[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So the three things I always run the thought around
[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Is this to keep my priorities
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Is this to keep my values
[00:01:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And is this to keep my mental health and my energy
[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Do what I have to do to do this
[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And if everything's a no
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a no
[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Scotland's women
[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Our lives
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Our stories
