It's embarrassing and it's not natural 20 00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:34,060 So we decided to heal our feet and another thing is that shoes make your your feet weak 21 00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:41,340 Like you should be happy you should have tough feet like the bottom of your feet should be full of callus 22 00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:43,980 And it should be very tough 23 00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:47,900 to the point where just the other day I stepped on a 24 00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,340 a 25 00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:50,700 sharp 26 00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:54,380 Like my dad dropped a plate on the ground and I stepped on 27 00:01:55,260 --> 00:02:00,220 one of the plate shards that he missed when he was cleaning that up and 28 00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,500 It broke blood 29 00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:10,220 But it didn't even hurt because it barely broke blood just barely because 30 00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:15,820 There was probably like an I don't know how big a centimeter is but there was a big 31 00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:17,820 big distance 32 00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:21,580 in between where the blood was coming out and the 33 00:02:22,140 --> 00:02:25,820 Like surface of my foot and that was all just callous 34 00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:28,780 it was a cool sight to see because 35 00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:30,300 I 36 00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:35,260 I have very tough feet now because I spent all summer walking around shoeless 37 00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:41,180 And another another benefit to that is the grounding aspect. I was at a peak 38 00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:43,180 health 39 00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:49,740 My health was at a peak during that summer because we were getting we were grounding all day long 40 00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:51,500 because 41 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:57,340 Dude grounding is like the healing system. I don't know the science or anything about it 42 00:02:57,820 --> 00:03:00,540 But all I know is that I was getting wet dreams 43 00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:03,260 literally like every week 44 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,220 I think I think there was a time where I got 45 00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:11,180 Back to back days where I had two wet dreams in a night 46 00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:17,740 So I had two wet dreams in one night and then the next day I had two more wet dreams 47 00:03:18,220 --> 00:03:20,220 which was insane 48 00:03:20,380 --> 00:03:24,540 And they're like very consistently. I was getting wet dreams once a week 49 00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:29,980 Which is basically when you come at night time when you're asleep 50 00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:35,100 So it's not like you can't choose to do it. It's just involuntary 51 00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:41,740 Which shows that you're I'm pretty sure it shows high testosterone and like high libido high good health 52 00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:46,540 basically all that stuff and the thing is that I I've never masturbated in my life, so 53 00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:50,540 It was probably like and I never watched porn 54 00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:54,460 So that definitely helped so I didn't have stuff to heal from 55 00:03:55,420 --> 00:04:00,860 But I was getting all that good health benefits from from grounding 56 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,500 and it's I'm dude. I'm 57 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:05,900 I need to stop saying dude. That's not good 58 00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:08,540 but I am a 59 00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:14,940 Super fan of grounding now to the point where I actually bought or I asked for for Christmas and got 60 00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:19,260 earth runners, which are basically barefoot shoes that are like 61 00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:21,420 just 62 00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:27,260 I got the primal or like the extremely minimalistic one where it's basically like this tiny little 63 00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:29,660 strip of 64 00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:30,860 rubber 65 00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:32,540 just a tiny little 66 00:04:32,540 --> 00:04:34,700 Soul of rubber which is flat 67 00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:38,620 And it's tiny so it's very thin and then there's like 68 00:04:39,340 --> 00:04:41,900 Like this rope around it. So it's 69 00:04:42,780 --> 00:04:45,180 I don't know you just got to look it up and then there's also 70 00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:47,420 a copper 71 00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:48,540 thing 72 00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:50,140 connected to the shoe 73 00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:51,660 so you like 74 00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:53,500 you're able to 75 00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:57,100 I don't know the science. I don't even know what I'm talking about. You're able to 76 00:04:58,060 --> 00:05:00,060 Ground while wearing those shoes 77 00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:05,020 So grounding actually was extremely beneficial for me and then 78 00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,260 Another thing is the sun touching my skin 79 00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:16,700 So good that sun is so valuable now that I'm in the dead of winter 80 00:05:17,420 --> 00:05:19,420 January in Chicago 81 00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:23,260 I haven't had sun in months because 82 00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:28,460 There is no sun ever during the wintertime in Chicago 83 00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:33,420 So I know how valuable the sun is it makes you look good and it makes you feel good 84 00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:36,700 And it makes you healthy 85 00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:43,900 I didn't wear sunscreen at all that summer and I didn't get burnt at all either because I didn't eat seed oils seed oils 86 00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:46,220 destroy your skin 87 00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:48,700 so don't eat seed oils and then 88 00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:53,740 But I was I did get burnt when I went to the Dominican Republic 89 00:05:53,740 --> 00:06:01,660 Because that was a very strong sun, but that's a different topic and and the thing is I got burnt barely 90 00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:06,540 It didn't hurt. It just looked a little burnt and I 91 00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:11,980 It healed pretty quickly. It healed overnight like the next morning. I was right back at it 92 00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:15,260 and 93 00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:18,300 So that's the shirt and then the shirtless aspect there's 94 00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:22,380 a few benefits first of all the sun you don't get a 95 00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:26,220 Grow you don't get a bad looking farmer's tan 96 00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:29,740 You get a nice full tan except for your shorts 97 00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:33,500 And then the second thing is confidence 98 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:37,180 You build your confidence because you're expanding your comfort zone 99 00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:41,340 and walking around your town barefoot and shirtless 100 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:48,300 Is outside of a lot of people's comfort zones and it was outside of mine as well in the beginning of summer 101 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:51,260 until I did it literally all summer and 102 00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:55,740 Then now I'm comfortable. I'm comfortably able to do it 103 00:06:57,260 --> 00:06:59,260 So when the time comes 104 00:07:00,380 --> 00:07:06,060 Make sure that you're going barefoot and shirtless all the time. Just walk around. I barely wore a shirt 105 00:07:06,860 --> 00:07:09,580 like that entire summer even inside 106 00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:16,860 Unless I was going to like a public grow like indoor public space like a grocery store or something like that 107 00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,060 I wasn't I wasn't wearing anything 108 00:07:20,060 --> 00:07:27,260 Just under or actually I stopped wearing underwear.
