00:00:00.341 --> 00:00:27.092
One thing about a podcast is I get to talk to you every week and maybe even bonus episodes, like we've had this past week and yet you don't necessarily get to talk to me, and I am a coach, really, and a teacher, so I want to know what you want to know, and that is why this is the first episode of Ask Mind your Midlife.
00:00:27.092 --> 00:00:39.069
I have some questions that you have given me as a listener and I'm excited to answer them and I'm excited to hear what you're going to ask next.
00:00:39.069 --> 00:00:49.223
So here we go Welcome to Mind your Midlife, your go-to resource for confidence and success, one thought at a time.
00:00:49.223 --> 00:01:02.043
Unlike most advice out there, we believe that simply telling you to believe in yourself or change your habits isn't enough to wake up excited about life or feel truly confident in your body.
00:01:02.043 --> 00:01:11.334
Each week, you'll gain actionable strategies and oh my goodness powerful insights to stop feeling stuck and start loving your midlife.
00:01:11.334 --> 00:01:14.281
This is the Mind your Midlife podcast.
00:01:14.281 --> 00:01:25.793
So, because this is the very first Ask Find your Midlife episode, I'm going to do this about once a month, once every six weeks.
00:01:25.793 --> 00:01:38.090
I'm not going to I don't know, we'll see how it flows but because this is the very first one, I put the word out on social media and if we're not connected yet on social media, find me.
00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:39.444
I'm on most of them.
00:01:39.644 --> 00:01:41.891
As Cheryl P Fisher, come find me.
00:01:41.891 --> 00:01:43.165
I would love to connect with you.
00:01:43.165 --> 00:01:44.563
Send me a DM.
00:01:44.563 --> 00:01:58.569
Whatever it is that's on your mind, either when you're listening to a podcast like this one about midlife, or when you're just going through your day and you're getting frustrated about something.
00:01:58.569 --> 00:02:12.777
That's what I want you to ask about, because maybe I can give you just a little tweak to how you're thinking about that, just a little slight different angle that you can look at your situation from.
00:02:12.777 --> 00:02:16.564
Or maybe something you can actually do to make a change.
00:02:16.564 --> 00:02:21.233
We all need help with that sometimes.
00:02:21.233 --> 00:02:28.525
Or maybe you have a question that's going to jog me to grab an expert in that particular area and bring them on for an episode.
00:02:28.525 --> 00:02:30.629
I'm totally open to that as well.
00:02:30.629 --> 00:02:34.325
So find me on social, cheryl P Fisher.
00:02:34.325 --> 00:02:36.052
There'll be links in the show notes.
00:02:36.052 --> 00:02:53.908
Send me a DM, tell me what your questions are, and there will be a link in the show notes and there has been for the past few episodes saying ask mind your midlife a question, click that link and you're basically going to be able to text me a question, so don't be surprised when it becomes a text.
00:02:53.908 --> 00:02:56.783
It's real, it's not anything weird or scammy.
00:02:56.783 --> 00:02:58.328
Text me a question.
00:02:58.328 --> 00:02:59.991
I would love to get them that way too.
00:02:59.991 --> 00:03:02.102
All right, so here we go.
00:03:02.102 --> 00:03:09.606
Today, I have two of your questions and I have a third one that's just kind of funny, so you can ask me funny stuff too.
00:03:09.606 --> 00:03:18.599
I suppose these came in on threads and Instagram recently, and I have a few more that came in as well, so we'll keep it rolling.
00:03:18.781 --> 00:03:21.068
As I said, this won't be a one-off episode.
00:03:21.068 --> 00:03:29.953
First question says I saw you talk about meditation a while ago.
00:03:29.953 --> 00:03:33.584
Should I try it and is there an easy way?
00:03:33.584 --> 00:03:40.474
Great question, and yes, I did talk about meditation a while ago.
00:03:40.474 --> 00:03:46.292
That was when the podcast was still under the old name name.
00:03:46.292 --> 00:03:47.174
Omg, teach Me.
00:03:47.174 --> 00:04:11.330
No worries, you can go find the episode either by clicking in the show notes I'm going to put the link in there or by going to Mind your Midlife on your podcast app, which you probably are in right now, now that I think about it, and scrolling down and finding episode 58 from back in May of 2024.
00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:13.834
And again, it'll be linked in the show notes.
00:04:13.834 --> 00:04:14.840
Let's make it easy.
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.184
But yes, we did talk about meditation.
00:04:18.404 --> 00:04:31.360
Angela Smith joined me on that episode and she kind of blew my mind because I knew that I was supposed to meditate and I didn't do it.
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.166
If I'm being honest, I didn't do it.
00:04:34.166 --> 00:04:52.935
I didn't feel like I had time, I didn't want to sit still, I feel you if that's what's going through your mind when you think about meditation, and what she explains in that episode is that it's not just a woo-woo thing that we need to um our way through the day.
00:04:52.935 --> 00:05:00.428
It's healthy for our brains and I am a brain science nerd.
00:05:00.428 --> 00:05:03.954
I was absolutely fascinated when she was talking about that.
00:05:03.954 --> 00:05:20.744
So starting to practice meditation, even if it's five minutes, starts to teach your brain how to refocus, teaches your nervous system how to calm down.
00:05:20.744 --> 00:05:26.391
So healthy for, just I mean every part of your body.
00:05:26.391 --> 00:05:54.670
I'm not going to revamp that whole episode, that wasn't really the question but it's so healthy and the goal is not to start with 20 minutes or 30 minutes or an hour of meditation, because your brain is not going to work with you, because you haven't taught it this really important skill of bringing focus back and calming down.
00:05:54.670 --> 00:06:00.425
So we start small and I have an answer for you, because the question was should I try?
00:06:00.425 --> 00:06:03.110
Yes, yes, you should.
00:06:03.110 --> 00:06:04.973
Is there an easy way?
00:06:04.973 --> 00:06:13.615
I'm going to tell you how I have started meditating and see if this will work for you, because I needed an easy way.
00:06:13.615 --> 00:06:20.572
I had all the brain going everywhere and busy day and all of that, so I needed an easy way as well.
00:06:20.572 --> 00:06:22.341
Actually, I have two suggestions for you.
00:06:22.341 --> 00:06:24.848
So start with five minutes.
00:06:24.968 --> 00:06:31.588
Number one and I am kind of best friends with my timer on my Apple Watch.
00:06:31.588 --> 00:06:34.113
I use the timer all the time.
00:06:34.113 --> 00:06:38.740
I use it when I'm cooking or when I'm supposed to be doing something in a few minutes, or I just use it all the time.
00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:40.221
I put timers on all the time.
00:06:40.221 --> 00:06:44.865
Sometimes then, when it goes off, I can't remember what the timer was for, but eventually I do.
00:06:44.865 --> 00:06:56.656
So put a timer on for five minutes and I do what I call the legs up against the wall meditation.
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:08.543
There is a yoga pose called legs up against the wall, and it is exactly what it sounds like legs up against the wall, and it is exactly what it sounds like.
00:07:08.543 --> 00:07:22.045
You scoot your butt forward, sitting on the ground, until you get as close to the wall as you can, and then you are lying with your back on the floor and your legs are up against the wall, so your body's in an L Super, super, super healthy for blood flow.
00:07:22.045 --> 00:07:26.721
If you have issues like I do, where your feet swell, super healthy for blood flow.
00:07:26.721 --> 00:07:32.461
If you have issues like I do, where your feet swell, getting those feet above your heart for a little bit of time each day, really healthy, you can look that up as well.
00:07:32.461 --> 00:07:39.663
It's a super healthy thing to do and so I do that because I know I need to and I meditate while doing it.
00:07:40.185 --> 00:08:12.350
So I'm lying on the floor with my legs up against a wall or often up against a chair or whatever is around me, and I set my watch for five minutes and I close my eyes and I either am counting to myself one, two, one with the taking a breath in and two with taking a breath out, or in out, and the reason you hear of people doing um or something like that is it's good to give your brain kind of an anchor word to focus on.
00:08:12.350 --> 00:08:24.249
So, depending on my mood, I might be doing in, out with my breath, or one, two just silently in my head, and I just lie there and I do that and I try to just be calm and empty my head.
00:08:24.249 --> 00:08:33.734
Now, when you try this, you will not be able to empty your head for five minutes, unless you already are a great meditator.
00:08:33.734 --> 00:08:36.225
You're going to think about other things.
00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:38.211
Little worries are going to creep in.
00:08:38.211 --> 00:08:40.767
You're going to think about what you're making for dinner.
00:08:40.767 --> 00:08:43.845
You're going to think about that top that you saw online.
00:08:43.845 --> 00:08:48.927
It's okay and you'll hear Angela say this if you go back and listen to that episode.
00:08:48.927 --> 00:08:50.292
It's okay.
00:08:50.673 --> 00:09:06.009
The power of meditation is knowing how to bring your mind back, that doing that, bringing your mind back is possibly the biggest benefit of meditation.
00:09:06.009 --> 00:09:07.272
So it's okay.
00:09:07.272 --> 00:09:09.943
If your mind wanders, don't get upset at yourself.
00:09:09.943 --> 00:09:13.293
Don't tell yourself that you know I could never do this.
00:09:13.293 --> 00:09:14.341
I knew I couldn't do this.
00:09:14.341 --> 00:09:19.692
It's normal, and the act of coming back from that is the best part.
00:09:19.692 --> 00:09:23.807
So you realize oh wait, why am I thinking about what I'm making for dinner?
00:09:23.807 --> 00:09:29.523
And you go back and you say one, two with your in and out breath, deep breaths.
00:09:29.523 --> 00:09:38.023
You could add some breath work in while you're at it, sort of an average to slow pace, and then, when your timer goes off, pat yourself on the back.
00:09:38.023 --> 00:09:47.701
That's your very first five minutes of meditation, and you can keep going with five minutes, or you could gradually increase it if it's feeling good for you and you're liking it.
00:09:47.701 --> 00:09:56.677
That is the way I started meditating and it really it's kind of two birds with one stone for me, and so I hope you'll try it.
00:09:56.677 --> 00:09:59.676
I want you to tell me again, find me on social, tell me what did you think?
00:10:00.357 --> 00:10:06.926
The second suggestion I have for you is what Angela called the five senses meditation, and I love this one too.
00:10:06.926 --> 00:10:11.336
So right now, where I am in DC, it's hot.
00:10:11.336 --> 00:10:21.381
It's like heat warning hot, and so you may be in that same boat with me, and so I'm be in that same boat with me, and so I'm not walking around outside, if I can help it, unless it's early or late.
00:10:21.381 --> 00:10:43.096
But if you are going for a walk maybe you're going for a hike you can meditate in an active way as well, and there are so many brain benefits to this as well, and so while you're out on your walk, you can do a little exercise of recognizing, with all five senses, what's around you.
00:10:43.096 --> 00:10:45.240
So what do you see?
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.624
Notice what's around you?
00:10:47.624 --> 00:10:49.572
What do you smell?
00:10:49.572 --> 00:10:51.193
Are there any smells?
00:10:51.193 --> 00:10:52.836
What do you hear?
00:10:52.836 --> 00:10:56.562
Notice what the sounds are that are going on around you?
00:10:56.562 --> 00:10:58.566
What are you touching?
00:10:58.566 --> 00:11:00.615
Does the air have a feel?
00:11:00.615 --> 00:11:04.625
Feel your feet hitting the path or the sidewalk?
00:11:04.625 --> 00:11:07.211
And do you taste anything?
00:11:07.211 --> 00:11:09.416
Maybe you're walking by a restaurant?
00:11:09.416 --> 00:11:11.679
Is there anything in the air?
00:11:12.461 --> 00:11:28.961
Go through all your five senses and just be observant and just wonder, and even the practice of that, although it doesn't feel like traditional meditation, is still good for your brain in the same way, and you can set a timer for this if you want to.
00:11:28.961 --> 00:11:38.008
You know I love my timer and you can go through and just notice for five minutes and then continue on your walk doing whatever else you were doing.
00:11:38.008 --> 00:11:41.340
That is also a great way to try.
00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:43.998
So I hope that answers your question.
00:11:43.998 --> 00:11:48.833
I love that question because I think it's going to help so many people because, yes, there is an easy way to start.
00:11:48.833 --> 00:11:52.235
Try one of those, try both of those, one one day, one the next day.
00:11:52.235 --> 00:11:53.515
See what you like best.
00:11:53.515 --> 00:11:56.438
Just do it with like a light and easy energy.
00:11:56.438 --> 00:11:59.634
There's no wrong, there's no bad.
00:11:59.634 --> 00:12:05.410
Everything you do related to helping your brain and body relax and calm down and focus is good.
00:12:05.410 --> 00:12:08.375
It does help, all right.
00:12:08.654 --> 00:12:16.586
Question two how do I rediscover purpose and passion after age 50?
00:12:16.586 --> 00:12:21.913
Rediscover purpose and passion after age 50?
00:12:21.913 --> 00:12:23.918
This came in on threads recently and I actually love that.
00:12:23.918 --> 00:12:29.230
You asked this question because Lisa Andrea joined me on the podcast a week ago on episode 38.
00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:35.652
So go go head down there and find it while you're listening to the podcast if you haven't heard that one.
00:12:35.652 --> 00:12:51.363
And she is a transformation coach, and so what we were talking about was getting through limiting beliefs, and what she then talked with me about for my Patreon members was how to rediscover your purpose and passion.
00:12:51.363 --> 00:12:54.130
Oh, my goodness, there we go this.
00:12:54.130 --> 00:12:56.239
I did not plant this question, I promise.
00:12:56.239 --> 00:13:00.250
There we go this.
00:13:00.250 --> 00:13:01.131
I did not plant this question, I promise.
00:13:01.131 --> 00:13:06.442

00:13:20.513 --> 00:13:41.433
That being said, I've had a few episodes recently with people who focus on helping us to figure out our second act that was Shannon Russell, you can find that one too and at looking at our lives like a story that was Anna Parker and figuring out what's next in the story and how does it all connect?
00:13:41.433 --> 00:13:50.576
And I have to say, when I think about rediscovering a passion, I think about something that you love to do.
00:13:50.576 --> 00:14:05.892
So maybe when you're in your 50s I'm in my 50s, so I think we're all in the same boat here when you're in your 50s, maybe you've been doing whatever your career is for a long time and you know you're not going to be doing it forever.
00:14:05.892 --> 00:14:25.235
Or maybe you hope that and you're starting to watch your friends retire and you're starting to watch your friends go and do the travel or do the volunteering, or get involved in fun things or play pickleball in the middle of the morning or whatever it is, and you're thinking, well, how can I do that?
00:14:25.235 --> 00:14:27.302
What fun things would I want to do?
00:14:27.302 --> 00:14:40.306
So this might be purpose and passion in terms of fun aspects of your post-career life, or it might be purpose and passion in terms of I am ready to make a change.
00:14:40.306 --> 00:14:43.778
I've got 10 years in my career left, or something like that.
00:14:43.778 --> 00:14:45.116
What do I want to do?
00:14:45.116 --> 00:14:47.989
So there's kind of two pieces to that.
00:14:48.048 --> 00:15:07.697
But I want you if I cull together all the advice that we've heard recently I want you to think about what you enjoy, what you are enthusiastic about, when you have a day where you're like, wow, that was a good day, great things happened.
00:15:07.697 --> 00:15:09.688
What were those things?
00:15:09.688 --> 00:15:15.187
What types of interactions were you having with that work and with people?
00:15:15.187 --> 00:15:18.193
Was it a one-on-one situation?
00:15:18.193 --> 00:15:21.868
Was it that you weren't having to be around people a lot?
00:15:21.868 --> 00:15:24.075
Was it a large group of people?
00:15:24.075 --> 00:15:28.807
How did the interaction go that energized you and that you felt good about?
00:15:28.807 --> 00:15:33.658
What was the action you were taking?
00:15:33.658 --> 00:15:35.486
Was it data analysis?
00:15:35.486 --> 00:15:36.729
Was it speaking?
00:15:36.729 --> 00:15:38.091
Was it something else?
00:15:38.091 --> 00:15:47.350
Find the patterns and then think back to when you were younger and think about what did you do for fun?
00:15:47.350 --> 00:15:50.395
When you were a kid, I actually played school.
00:15:50.395 --> 00:15:57.059
I played school and I played this crazy game called plant doctor that my friend and I made up.
00:15:57.059 --> 00:16:01.671
It's not worth explaining, but anyway I was always diagnosing and teaching, I guess.
00:16:01.671 --> 00:16:06.125
And think about the things that you thought were fun.
00:16:06.206 --> 00:16:09.152
Now you probably can't go bike around your neighborhood for a living.
00:16:09.152 --> 00:16:13.057
Now you probably can't go bike around your neighborhood for a living, but maybe you need to be more active in what you're doing.
00:16:13.057 --> 00:16:18.826
Or maybe you have really a passion for fitness.
00:16:18.826 --> 00:16:24.998
Maybe there's a thread there that you can pull, and so how do you rediscover your purpose and your passion?
00:16:24.998 --> 00:16:31.394
See what those threads are that link everything in your story.
00:16:31.394 --> 00:16:37.774
See if there's anything that you're doing right now, that there's a piece of that that you're excited about.
00:16:37.774 --> 00:16:39.698
Can you add more of that?
00:16:39.698 --> 00:16:42.210
Can you make a slight adjustment?
00:16:42.210 --> 00:16:47.207
This takes time and it takes trial and error, and the trial and error is what you learn from.
00:16:47.207 --> 00:16:51.677
So that will get you started and I'm super excited about that.
00:16:51.677 --> 00:17:00.750
Make sure you're in Patreon so you can hear my talk with Lisa Andrea about this exact thing and I hope that answers your question.
00:17:00.750 --> 00:17:03.605
I know everybody has that question, so thank you for asking.
00:17:04.267 --> 00:17:07.050
All right Now the last one for today's Q&A.
00:17:07.050 --> 00:17:13.740
Today's Ask Mind your Midlife is why do you wear green all the time?
00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:20.439
And this question made me laugh because I do wear a lot of green.
00:17:20.439 --> 00:17:27.296
Now, actually you're not seeing me probably as you are listening to this, but I actually don't have green on today.
00:17:27.296 --> 00:17:28.226
I have a pink shirt on.
00:17:28.226 --> 00:17:39.011
So it's amusing that I'm answering this question, but I do wear green a lot and I know it was kind of meant to be a fun, silly question and I was encouraging that and at the same time.
00:17:39.352 --> 00:17:42.067
I think maybe there's a little something we can learn from this too.
00:17:42.067 --> 00:17:44.234
So why do I wear green all the time?
00:17:44.234 --> 00:17:48.528
Because green has been almost my entire life my favorite color.
00:17:48.528 --> 00:17:49.609
It makes me happy.
00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:53.038
It just makes me happy.
00:17:53.038 --> 00:17:57.156
As I was thinking about this, I was wondering why is that?
00:17:57.156 --> 00:18:01.568
And I really think it's because so much in nature is green.
00:18:01.568 --> 00:18:18.246
I think somehow I have a connection between leaves on trees and that sort of thing with the color green, because I like that bright, leaf green, kelly green sort of thing with the color green, cause I like that bright, like leaf green, kelly green especially.
00:18:18.246 --> 00:18:21.396
And and that's a good thing because being outside, being in nature, forest bathing is a real thing.
00:18:21.396 --> 00:18:25.828
It doesn't mean taking a bath in the forest, it just means being there in the trees, in the nature is healthy.
00:18:25.828 --> 00:18:27.070
That's a real thing.
00:18:27.070 --> 00:18:30.616
And, interestingly, I love to combine green with brown.
00:18:30.616 --> 00:18:34.112
So there we go, I'm dressing myself like a tree.
00:18:36.965 --> 00:18:52.815
Let me also say we're in midlife and let's dress how we want to dress and let's pick the clothes and the colors that make us happy and let's pick the fun glasses or fun sunglasses.
00:18:52.815 --> 00:18:54.137
It's time.
00:18:54.137 --> 00:19:01.087
Maybe you've been doing that all along and I applaud you if that's the case, but a lot of us haven't been.
00:19:01.087 --> 00:19:04.094
We've been, maybe, trying to blend in.
00:19:04.094 --> 00:19:10.602
We spend our teenage years really trying to blend in and be accepted, and that's completely normal.
00:19:10.602 --> 00:19:11.846
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:19:11.846 --> 00:19:33.655
It's kind of a part of human development that we spend a period of our lives as the center of our own worlds, and that is the case as kids and then as teens we're still sort of the center of our own worlds, having trouble seeing other people's perspectives, and we're starting to see that we want to be in their worlds.
00:19:33.655 --> 00:19:35.700
So we're trying to fit in.
00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:37.888
And that really hit me for sure.
00:19:37.888 --> 00:19:43.664
It took me a long time to speak up when I want to stand up for something.
00:19:43.664 --> 00:19:45.950
It took me a long time to learn how to do that.
00:19:45.950 --> 00:19:59.759
So I encourage you at this point in midlife dress how you want to dress, look how you want to look, pick out the colors in your house and in your wardrobe that make you happy, period.
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.892
And I guess that's what I do with green.
00:20:01.892 --> 00:20:09.433
It makes me happy, and when people say, look, you're wearing green again, I say yep, I don't know if you meant that to be a negative, but I love it.
00:20:09.433 --> 00:20:17.326
So that's the attitude that I wish for you on anything like that, and thank you for asking me that question.
00:20:17.326 --> 00:20:18.147
I really do love it.
00:20:18.147 --> 00:20:18.789
It makes me happy.
00:20:19.791 --> 00:20:22.778
I hope that you found this Q&A interesting.
00:20:22.778 --> 00:20:25.153
I am planning another one.
00:20:25.153 --> 00:20:26.798
This is August.
00:20:26.798 --> 00:20:29.369
We're going to do another one late August, early September.
00:20:29.369 --> 00:20:32.767
I can't wait to see what questions you have for me.
00:20:32.767 --> 00:20:36.916
Scroll down in the show notes, click the link that says ask a question.
00:20:36.916 --> 00:20:40.352
You can text me a question or, as I said, find me on social media.
00:20:40.352 --> 00:20:41.273
Cheryl P Fisher.
00:20:41.273 --> 00:20:45.409
Dm me a question and I will answer it on the podcast.
00:20:45.409 --> 00:20:50.378
I'm super excited to at least be able to connect with you in this way.
00:20:50.378 --> 00:20:55.288
Super excited to at least be able to connect with you in this way.
00:20:55.307 --> 00:21:00.615
So our OMG moment today is my favorite piece of advice for us midlife women.
00:21:00.615 --> 00:21:06.366
Please be just a little bit more kind to yourself.
00:21:06.366 --> 00:21:09.553
Treat yourself just a little bit better.
00:21:09.553 --> 00:21:15.269
Better, and maybe that's allowing yourself to have a little bit more fun, like we were just talking about.
00:21:15.269 --> 00:21:23.755
Maybe it's eating a little bit better, having a little bit healthier habits, maybe it's all the thoughts.
00:21:23.755 --> 00:21:26.526
Be a little bit more kind to yourself.
00:21:26.526 --> 00:21:29.855
That's all it takes to have an amazing midlife.
00:21:29.855 --> 00:21:35.854
We just need to treat ourselves a little bit better than we used to and watch what happens.
00:21:35.854 --> 00:21:56.593
Now make sure that you have hit the follow button, because next week, speaking of treating ourselves a little bit better, I have an expert coming to join us to talk about sleep, one of the most popular topics, because, goodness, when I sit down with friends at brunch or wherever, are you talking about sleep?
00:21:56.593 --> 00:21:58.958
Because we are, so I will see you.
00:21:58.958 --> 00:22:10.048
Then she's going to help us out and, in the meantime, slow down, notice what's going on around you, notice what's going on in your head, and let's create something amazing.
00:00:00.341 --> 00:00:27.092
00:00:27.092 --> 00:00:39.069
00:00:39.069 --> 00:00:49.223
00:00:49.223 --> 00:01:02.043
00:01:02.043 --> 00:01:11.334
00:01:11.334 --> 00:01:14.281
00:01:14.281 --> 00:01:25.793
00:01:25.793 --> 00:01:38.090
00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:39.444
00:01:39.644 --> 00:01:41.891
00:01:41.891 --> 00:01:43.165
00:01:43.165 --> 00:01:44.563
00:01:44.563 --> 00:01:58.569
00:01:58.569 --> 00:02:12.777
00:02:12.777 --> 00:02:16.564
00:02:16.564 --> 00:02:21.233
00:02:21.233 --> 00:02:28.525
00:02:28.525 --> 00:02:30.629
00:02:30.629 --> 00:02:34.325
00:02:34.325 --> 00:02:36.052
00:02:36.052 --> 00:02:53.908
00:02:53.908 --> 00:02:56.783
00:02:56.783 --> 00:02:58.328
00:02:58.328 --> 00:02:59.991
00:02:59.991 --> 00:03:02.102
00:03:02.102 --> 00:03:09.606
00:03:09.606 --> 00:03:18.599
00:03:18.781 --> 00:03:21.068
00:03:21.068 --> 00:03:29.953
00:03:29.953 --> 00:03:33.584
00:03:33.584 --> 00:03:40.474
00:03:40.474 --> 00:03:46.292
00:03:46.292 --> 00:03:47.174
00:03:47.174 --> 00:04:11.330
00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:13.834
00:04:13.834 --> 00:04:14.840
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.184
00:04:18.404 --> 00:04:31.360
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.166
00:04:34.166 --> 00:04:52.935
00:04:52.935 --> 00:05:00.428
00:05:00.428 --> 00:05:03.954
00:05:03.954 --> 00:05:20.744
00:05:20.744 --> 00:05:26.391
00:05:26.391 --> 00:05:54.670
00:05:54.670 --> 00:06:00.425
00:06:00.425 --> 00:06:03.110
00:06:03.110 --> 00:06:04.973
00:06:04.973 --> 00:06:13.615
00:06:13.615 --> 00:06:20.572
00:06:20.572 --> 00:06:22.341
00:06:22.341 --> 00:06:24.848
00:06:24.968 --> 00:06:31.588
00:06:31.588 --> 00:06:34.113
00:06:34.113 --> 00:06:38.740
00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:40.221
00:06:40.221 --> 00:06:44.865
00:06:44.865 --> 00:06:56.656
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:08.543
00:07:08.543 --> 00:07:22.045
00:07:22.045 --> 00:07:26.721
00:07:26.721 --> 00:07:32.461
00:07:32.461 --> 00:07:39.663
00:07:40.185 --> 00:08:12.350
00:08:12.350 --> 00:08:24.249
00:08:24.249 --> 00:08:33.734
00:08:33.734 --> 00:08:36.225
00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:38.211
00:08:38.211 --> 00:08:40.767

00:08:43.845 --> 00:08:48.927
00:08:48.927 --> 00:08:50.292
00:08:50.673 --> 00:09:06.009
00:09:06.009 --> 00:09:07.272
00:09:07.272 --> 00:09:09.943

00:09:56.677 --> 00:09:59.676
00:10:00.357 --> 00:10:06.926
00:10:06.926 --> 00:10:11.336
00:10:11.336 --> 00:10:21.381
00:10:21.381 --> 00:10:43.096
00:10:43.096 --> 00:10:45.240
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.624
00:10:47.624 --> 00:10:49.572
00:10:49.572 --> 00:10:51.193
00:10:51.193 --> 00:10:52.836
00:10:52.836 --> 00:10:56.562
00:10:56.562 --> 00:10:58.566
00:10:58.566 --> 00:11:00.615
00:11:00.615 --> 00:11:04.625
00:11:04.625 --> 00:11:07.211
00:11:07.211 --> 00:11:09.416
00:11:09.416 --> 00:11:11.679
00:11:12.461 --> 00:11:28.961
