Hi everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Tinas Arena, where I am in the arena of life and figuring out my shit and as I figure out my shed, hopefully you get inspired to figure out your shit.
00:00:13:23 - 00:00:27:11

I have been a little bit slow to post episodes on my podcast lately because number one, I am sick and I am on my like 20 something es day of being sick.
00:00:27:11 - 00:00:35:07
Unknown
I think that's what it feels like. It's been at least 15 days. I know that and it's gross. I still have
00:00:35:07 - 00:00:47:12
Unknown
all of the same C stuff going on in here. I don't know if you can hear it, but yes. So number one, I've been sick and number two, I have been uninspired by nutrition lately,
00:00:47:12 - 00:00:49:21
Unknown
specifically nutrition, because
00:00:49:21 - 00:01:02:15
Unknown
I feel like I don't want to change the way that I am in order to create pretty content, because my food and my eating is pretty boring.
00:01:02:15 - 00:01:12:23
Unknown
I tend to just piece things together. I'm eating scraps or it's just like a bowl of mush, or it's just chicken. It's boring.
00:01:12:23 - 00:01:17:08
Unknown
And people don't like boring. Unfortunately.
00:01:17:09 - 00:01:42:07
Unknown
I think the sooner you realize that staying healthy is boring, then the easier it will become. If you're always looking for novelty and variety and new recipes and new tastes and new experiences, then I think you're going to have a more difficult time staying healthy, because a lot of the food that's engineered to be exciting,
00:01:42:07 - 00:01:50:02
Unknown
it's fried, it's covered in cheese, it's so heavy, it's got a bunch of cream or something.
00:01:50:04 - 00:01:51:04
Unknown
It's not
00:01:51:04 - 00:02:00:18
Unknown
healthy if it's exciting or if it's appealing to people on the grand scheme of things, it's probably not that great for you.
00:02:00:18 - 00:02:11:23
Unknown
What works is being consistent and being boring and just doing the habits day in and day out. And the more that you get comfortable with being bored.
00:02:11:23 - 00:02:13:06
Unknown
The easier it will come.
00:02:13:06 - 00:02:16:22
Unknown
The longer you hold on to the idea of novelty,
00:02:16:22 - 00:02:19:11
Unknown
I think the harder it will be.
00:02:19:13 - 00:02:30:21
Unknown
That's not to say that I don't go out and have enjoyable experiences at restaurants. I've been eating quite poorly as I've been sick actually, but it is what it is. I'm sick. It's a phase.
00:02:30:21 - 00:02:33:01
Unknown
I will go back to my eating ways
00:02:33:01 - 00:02:35:02
Unknown
when I am healthy again.
00:02:35:02 - 00:02:42:21
Unknown
So that's me. I've been bored with nutrition. It's really simple. Nutrition is simple. Eat fiber, eat vegetables, eat lean meat.
00:02:42:21 - 00:02:43:20
Unknown
And I don't
00:02:43:20 - 00:02:45:17
Unknown
want to repeat that anymore.
00:02:45:17 - 00:02:50:07
Unknown
Of course, eating psychology has interested me forever.
00:02:50:07 - 00:02:53:23
Unknown
But I just. I haven't really wanted to talk about food too much lately.
00:02:53:23 - 00:02:58:13
Unknown
And so what am I going to be talking about from now on?
00:02:58:13 - 00:03:08:22
Unknown
I want to talk about stories. I want to talk about people. I want to talk about experiences. I love listening to people stories. I love listening to the
00:03:08:22 - 00:03:14:17
Unknown
things that they've gone through, their struggle. And I love hearing about
00:03:14:17 - 00:03:18:09
Unknown
experiences that show people like, why are you the way you are today?
00:03:18:09 - 00:03:22:06
Unknown
What drove you to become who you are today?
00:03:22:08 - 00:03:23:12
Unknown
Where did that come from?
00:03:23:12 - 00:03:41:12
Unknown
I like that kind of stuff. So I think I will start having more guests on my podcast, and I think I will start to dig more into personal stories and also share more of my own personal stories on the podcast. I know I've been sharing a lot around food,
00:03:41:12 - 00:03:48:12
Unknown
but I'm going to rack my brain and I'm going to see what else I have available to share.
00:03:48:14 - 00:04:06:19
Unknown
Because I would really love to dig more into stories. And what better place than, you know, being in the arena, experiencing all this hardship and then just sharing it with each other on the other side of that? I think that would be cool. So this is my podcast
00:04:06:19 - 00:04:09:22
Unknown
and this is the direction that we're going to go in for the rest of
00:04:09:22 - 00:04:11:03
Unknown
the time being.
00:04:11:03 - 00:04:14:16
Unknown
I will still definitely include nutrition and
00:04:14:16 - 00:04:25:02
Unknown
food and exercise and all of my stories because it's a part of who I am. But I don't think I will share, you know, nutritional
00:04:25:02 - 00:04:27:22
Unknown
advice for the sake of nutritional advice.
00:04:27:22 - 00:04:31:17
Unknown
So I hope that sounds exciting to you. And
