Samuel Brett
A 22 y/o trying actor who really wants to help you be your own best PAL! @SamuelDBrett … everywhere … Toxic positivity is weird! Campaigning misery is unfair! be a real and optimistic fellow.
What's happening pals?! I'm back from Mexico and in a hotel room so I can be as ready as ever for my fitness testing.
WE ARE BACK ON SCHEDULE... love u long time.
@SamuelDBrett - everywhere
HEY! Just thought I'd check in - ur not missing anything too important...
But thanks for hanging out :)
LOVE U
@SamuelDBrett
What do you do when you're in a haze, our ur brain feels stuck in a rut? Or when you get a cold or catch the flu? You know how everything you'd regularly do just starts to seem so challenging. Or how it seem like you've forgotten everything you need to do today to keep from getting behind. It is one of those days. It just is!
So hangout with me while I pop my vitamins and chat about one of the new books I just finished. 10/10. Verity - Colleen Hoover
Thanks as always-- I love u for hanging out with me
@SamuelDBrett ... everywhere.
What a novel - YES this is a full spoiler and NO I didn't plan anything before I started this episode. I opened the book back up, looked at some articles highlighting each chapter and relived what it was like for me to read this book in under a day... LIVE ON THE MIC BABY.
No, im not a book snob, and YES there are probably some incredible critics out there if that's what you're looking for... But no, I am not that. I am an average Joe who likes a good story.
THANK YOU for being your own best friend and thank you for helping me be MY OWN best friend...
AND A HUUUUGE SHOUTOUT TO ALYSSA (my boss) for lending me this book that I simply could NOT put down - along with he mass amounts of texts about how engaged I was start-to-finish.
Enjoy pals... I think im gonna do this again.. I already have the next book open. and I'm only gonna be doing this with books I truly TRULY don't want to put down.. I ain't forcing myself to read something that doesn't have me hooked by the end of the first act.
Lots of Love -- Samuel.
@SamuelDBrett on everything.
What is HIP - HOP - HAPPENIN' ?! There is still so many gosh darn question marks around the things in my life at the moment; So I decided to take myself on a cute date to the mountains and get SAILING with my self care SHIP.
& Shoutout to James Clear for his book 'Atomic Habits' ... GAME (&life) CHANGING. truly.
Thanks for hanging' & AS ALWAYS... luv u <3
@samueldbrett... everywhere my friends.
Hey! Thank you for hanging out with me while I CLEARLY have no clue what's going on around me.
First TIP of the episode... get a better sleep than me. Second TIP... go do something if you can't go back to bed.
What do you do when you have tons of obligations but absolutely no way to make progress on them right now. How can you make progress anyways in OTHER ways.
Why is it so gosh darn important to trust yourself?
What are YOUR non-negotiable's for the day?
What is ONE thing you can just fall back on?
Maybe today IS the day to clean your car.
Maybe today ISN'T the day to push yourself to the gym?
What is your PRIORITY? And can you practice trusting yourself to do the things you know you should?
Make THAT your habit.
love u babe.
@SamuelDBrett
Hey! Thank you for listening to me go on for half an hour abut myself!
I've noticed how some people are pretty iffy about the idea of 'journaling.' - And that's totally fine. But the benefits of it are more than clear if you're journalling the right way. This one is out loud! You wanna tap;k about yourself a bit? Nervous you might talk about yourself too much with your friends or co-workers? Practice it! Talk or journal to YOURSELF... about YOURSELF. It will be very clear in a quick way which kind of view you have about the world you live in and you'll be even clearer on what ways you talk ABOUT yourself versus TO yourself.
how do you talk ABOUT your bff vs. TO your bff. How do they talk about themselves?
Are you your own bff yet?
I love ya. thanks again pals.
@SamuelDBrett ---> everywhere!!! :)
Truly a rollercoaster of emotions on Monday RIP Murtle.
Today we're gonna talk about how I'm got my non-negotiable's COMPLETED when I barely had the energy to brush my teeth.
We're gonna talk about how I was DAYS away from achieving a DREAM, but had it casually SUBTRACTED from my life against my will.
Some more rollercoasters are in this episode... Thanks for hangin' !!!

Thank you ALL for the coolest messages, subscribing, following, rating, etc. Y'all are absolutely gorgeous. Thank. YOU.
I'm pretty lucky to know how to get along with myself. I am PRETTY LUCKY to notice that the one person who can make things happen are ME. AND I am MOST LUCKY to have been forced to be alone for longer than the average kid. At the time it sucked, but DAMNNNNNN I'm cool as hell, and I am so glad that I get to be best friends with myself.
I would like to dive into a few specific friendships that I believe shaped me into much of who I show up as in my relationships and friendships today.
If you're someone in my life, and you think this is about you, assuming makes an ASS of U and ME.
Get OKAY with being BORED.
ily yall.

Hey good morning!
As-per the usual, today's episode is coming at you HOT and impulsively while I get ready for training and the gym. Because of that, I missed morning training, which means my BRIGHT-LINE is that I'll be going after work before my fun night, no matter the hours.
Thats what a bright line is. It's a non-negotiable decision. That (imo) is why taking a cold shower in the morning is so EFFING good for you; there is many health benefits too of course (Lymphatic drainage, blood movement, etc) but the main ONE is that when you say you're going to do something, you don't negotiate with yourself.
That is WHAT these bright lines are. That is why if im having an OFF-DAY, and I don't feel like going to the gym but I want some take-out... the ONLY thing I will negotiate with myself is a bright line. IF I make it to the gym, I can get myself a booster juice. IF I make enough money today, I can buy myself that shirt, IF I get the podcast posted this morning, I can train in the afternoon and ONCE I get my afternoon training done - I can go be foolish for the evening ;)
I also chat about how ALL I did in film school was understand my emotions on a deeper level than I thought could be LEGAL. (I feel like this requires a planned episode, hence the side-tracking)
Take care y'all! deuces.

I know I know...
There's more I could be doing today but I'm a busy busy dude. Ain't no shame in needing to catch up on that to-do-list shoved in your notes app, or getting down and dirty in the deep cleaning of your house. Just make sure it's not in replacement to procrastinating some of your REAL objectives.
Take a second. If a friend who you LOVE DEEPLY walked up to you right now (but pretend your friend is YOU) and told you all the things they want and dream about and all the obligations they need to get done. What would be the advice you give them? Where would you suggest they start? When your imagining this friend, are the complaining to you?; OR are they simply telling you the benchmarks they need to hit? What are their reasons for being stressed about this? Are they being a little dramatic or have they actually screwed themselves in the same way they describe?
If that friend came up to you, with tears in their eyes about their level of anxiety today and not knowing where to start, you'd hug them and tell them its gonna be okay right? You'd help them see it clearly - would you not?
So what's the goddamn issue with doing it for yourself? There IS NO issue!
Give urself a hug, don't call it a "give up day." Its a write off day - meaning that you'll thank yourself later once that (tax) return comes ;)

Yesterday was Friday the 13th... I guess we can blame that. OR I can acknowledge the fact I rushed my plan for the day...
M3 - M cubed. Musts, Mixed, & Maybe. & do NOT set yourself up for a bunch of tasks you know are going to be hard to complete. The dopamine rush I get once I actually check off everything I had on my to-do list for the day is crazy. No matter how simple.
I remember a day when I had covid and could BARELY lift my head off the pillow. I made a list of things I still wanted to do, knowing if I pushed myself even a little bit, I'd be dizzy and out of breath. So I made a list of 8 videos (& TV episodes) I wanted to watch that day; 6 of them were purely for entertainment. 2 of them were based around practicing my Spanish. I mixed in the Spanish videos and checked all 8 videos off my list.
Now.. explaining that sounds dull. You're thinking "nice sam, you were sick so you didn't do anything all day besides watch some YouTube and Netflix." and TRUE. But that was my plan. Sure I WANTED to go and hangout with my friends and take a walk in the sun but I knew I would dread it, and probably be forcing myself far past what my brain was ready for. That's the key. Only force yourself a little bit past. that's the science of everything. Evolution, habit forming, natural selection, training, experimenting, progress. Sometimes you jump in head first and tell yourself you "just went for it." If you succeed, its probably because your brain was ready for you to jump in - you thought about it a lot, you took previous steps towards this goal and now your brain is ready to take action.
If you miss or smash your face on the bottom of the pool, you probably missed a couple 'boring' swim classes or hadn't checked the depth of the water yet.
Not my best analogy - but you get the gist.....

Its another one and gosh-DARN I am quite proud of myself for making it two solid days in a row with this podcast. As I upload this in my Versace Birthday Suit, I am going on almost two weeks straight of solid training.
I would love the money to invest in a coach but for now, proving the lil shoulder devil wrong is enough motivation ;)
LOVE U

“I normally might(react), but the person I want to be wouldn’t” “I used to react (to this) but the person I’ve become doesn’t.”
Now that I am in the clear, this is much easier to talk about. Funny enough, I had almost nothing to write in terms of planning this out. I realized that the only way I was going to get what I wanted to say out EFFECTIVELY was by trying to relive some of the moments in my mind and speaking along the way. I also walk you through the easiest way I go about setting goals that works for me (a half decent 22 y/o).I moved to Vancouver January 1st 2019. Started my Acting for Film & T.V. diploma program on the second and had a bed bug infestation 5 months later. Came out of the closet, didn't slerep for a week, plantar faciitis, met a boy, a pandemic, roomates, deportation, expired visas, moving back with Mum & Dad, anxiety, depression, PTSD, LGBTQ and more randomnmess that came out in this SPILL of mine.a nice spill tho. The kind of spill that happened on your cement sidewalk in the summer on an above average day. The kind of spill that had chunks of ice in the water but the sidewalk contains enough energy (&heat) to transform the water into steam before the ice even has a chance to liquify...oh man its happening again...
