I did a video about

0:04

13 years ago now called Let Yourself Be

0:07

Skinny. [sighs]

0:09

I think this video now has almost or

0:11

close to a million views on YouTube.

0:15

So, here's the thing. This is a really

0:17

potent conversation and when anyone sees

0:19

it just at first glance, of course,

0:21

understandably, it could seem very

0:24

surface level. But the truth of this

0:26

conversation goes much, much deeper.

0:29

When we talk about the frequency of let

0:31

yourself be skinny, we're talking about

0:33

the frequency of letting yourself be

0:37

anything you desire to be and not self-

0:41

sabotaging. Inside of this video, I am

0:44

not talking to people who have an eating

0:46

disorder. I am not talking to people who

0:49

are uh obsessed with the illusion that

0:53

external validation is what brings

0:55

happiness. I'm utilizing let yourself be

0:58

skinny as an example of allowing

1:02

ourselves to experience that which we

1:04

desire. For you, it might not be skinny.

1:06

It might be toned. It might be strong.

1:09

It might be healthy. It might be

1:11

wealthy. It might be rich. It might be

1:13

loved. It might be all of those things.

1:15

It doesn't matter.

1:17

It doesn't matter.

1:19

The conversation inside of this video is

1:22

allowing ourselves to be that which we

1:23

desire to be and calling back our power.

1:27

Calling back the opportunity that it's

1:29

not about anyone outside of us. It's not

1:31

about external circumstances. It's not

1:33

about who's in political office. It's

1:36

nothing outside of us. It's can we allow

1:39

ourselves to be experience and enjoy

1:42

that which we desire to be.

The speaker reflects on a 13-year-old video titled "Let Yourself Be Skinny," which has garnered nearly a million views. While the title might seem superficial, its deeper message is about empowering individuals to allow themselves to be anything they desire, whether it's toned, healthy, wealthy, or loved, and to overcome self-sabotage. The video explicitly clarifies that it is not addressing people with eating disorders or those who believe external validation brings happiness. Ultimately, it's about reclaiming personal power and realizing that one's desires can be achieved independently of external circumstances or political situations.
