95% of people just walk around in the world just doing their thing, in their own heads, and that's okay if you've got a healthy way of doing things or a healthy pattern. But if you're unaware of what you're doing and why you're doing it and why you feel the way that you do, and that's coming from a negative space, Then to live the best life you can possibly live, it's about reflecting on who you are and what's actually going on for you and being aware of, coming out of your subconscious and consciously thinking about, okay, why is this happening in my life? What am I doing? What's going on? And then being able to make a decision there to change that. So then turning your subconscious into a healthier space. So I've been in personal development for like 15 years now, but it was only sort of 5 years ago that I realized that I was still kind of stuck in my old space. I was helping people to kind of feel better and helping them to move on with their lives, and then I was kind of leaving that space and then going back to the kind of crappy old life that I was leading because of how I felt about myself. And it got to one point and I just sat on the sofa and the cat came in and got on my lap and I said to the cat, I said, I'm not doing this anymore. I said, I've had enough. Something is gonna change. I need to change. And that's, I think, when I took the responsibility for myself. What advice would you give to someone who is in a relationship and they're struggling?
