Shop Etsy Hi, Morgan Freeman here. I want to talk to you about a serious, rare heart condition called attr Cardiac Amyloidosis, or attrcm. Now, I don't have the condition myself, but if you're living with attrcm, it's important to know about treatment options like atrubi, also known as acharamides, because you have the power of choice when it comes to treatment. Atruvy is an old medicine used to treat adults with ATTRCM to reduce death and hospitalization due to heart issues. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, and about the medications you take. The most common side effects were mild and included diarrhea and abdominal pain. If you have attrcm, talk to your cardiologist about attruby or visit attruby.com that's attruby.com to learn more. It's time to get busy living.

Self esteem is another one I don't allow anybody to use on the Program because it's silly. Do you admire yourself? Do you admire that you can learn things, do things, that you have compassion, that sometimes when you least want to do something and you know you're obligated, you do it anyway? These are things to admire about yourself. So self admire. But you have to earn it. You have to earn this self care. You don't have to earn, you just have to do self acceptance. You don't have to earn, you just do. You just decide, I'm at peace with the mess that is me and I'll go with the good and try to do better with the not so good. But the part I like the best is the concept of admiring yourself because you have to earn that. So we'll call that self esteem. Okay? How do you get self esteem? You earn it. You earn your own respect by watching how you handle things, say things, do things, react to things. You admire your progress, you admire your compassion and self sacrifice in certain times. Not total, because that's a neurotic person. Total self sacrifice is seriously neurotic. Okay, but you earn self esteem, nobody gives it to you. So I like, oh, I was married and he was very mean to me, so I lost my self esteem. He took my self esteem. No, nobody has that power. There are people who have been in concentration camps, have reported that they kept embracing their religion and their compassion for other people equally tortured and dying. That's earned self esteem and the camp couldn't take that away. Can't take your humanity away. You can give it away, but it can't be taken. Alrighty. Compassion for yourself is really important. And frankly, research has indicated that being showing yourself some compassion helps very high performing athletes become more resilient and successful. It reduces suicide risk in veterans, improves caregivers well being. You show yourself compassion for what you're going through and what you're feeling. Instead of judging it harshly, you show yourself compassionate about it. Like when people call and they're worried that they're somehow a bad person because they're feeling a certain way and I tell them this is normal, this is how human beings are supposed to feel in a situation like this and it's crappy or scary or whatever, that's showing yourself compassion by understanding this is normal, this is human. Instead of oh, I'm weak, I'm bad, I'm stupid, all that nonsense. So I'm here to help teach you how to treat yourself more kindly in times of distress. Realize that what you're going through is sort of common to humanity and it's very reasonable to have all kinds of thoughts and feelings, but if you let them get out of control and you impulsively act out of them, that's bad. That leads to problems. Just want you to know that. Again, my number one, 800-375-2872. If you like this podcast, be sure to rate it on Apple Podcasts or your favorite place to listen to my podcast.
