Hi, How Are You?

blue falls into a hole again and talks about where she stands on depression and how to get out of it. 

You're not gonna like this, but turns out caffeine is really bad for you. Listen to blue sell you on the merits of l-theanine, one of the most popular and effective nootropics on the market, and the best dosage to take in conjunction with coffee.

blue is candid about her drinking problem and gives you some low brow advice on how to stop making an ass of yourself in front of your friends.

we're on spotify now. subscribe. welcome back welcome back welcome back. back to life, back to reality. a reintroduction to my audience (i wrote this summary while drunk).

a super short one before i disappear for a little while. just a reminder that even though every day can't be perfect, time means that all of this is only temporary. if this was meant to be easy, we'd all be doing it wrong.

fast forward to the 3 minute mark if you don't wanna hear me talk about hurricane harvey, or shaming racists.   the benefits of audiobooks, how to get them on the cheap (or free!).   blue also talks about where to get a college education online for free ninety nine.

to shia labeouf, who inspired this episode. and how nike inspired a cliché but the most real slogan ever. are you lazy like me? be truthful with yourself. if so, i got news for you - you're just gonna have to not. you're gonna have to learn that nothing will get you moving if you're not telling yourself to just do it.

what do some old roman philosophers (seneca, epictetus, i'm looking at you guys) have to do with pushing your way through and out of depression? oh, i don't know, probably EVERYTHING. show notes @ hihowareyou.US

the silent breakdown in the room upstairs. a few weeks back during an out-of-town trip, i had an epiphany - that no matter how much i wanted it, i can never be someone i'm not. more suicide, more social isolation, more realizations.

stuck in a 9-5 you're not crazy about? listen to this on your way to work. "hate" is such a strong word, isn't it? blue bullshits through ten minutes of lecturing you on why you shouldn't give up on that dead end job just yet.  (all of this is applicable to career professionals as well, if you can relate).

blue encourages you (in a hostile way) to try mindful meditation and download the app "headspace" what is mindful meditation? oh, i don't know, probably the best thing ever? what doesn't sound fun about sitting comfortably without any distractions for 10, 20 minutes a day? download headspace here.

blue explains the importance of not having punk friends who don't know how to support you when you need it most.

in this episode, blue struggles to not be a hypocrite as she tells you why you shouldn’t be afraid to use your voice to make new friends, and that not every human being out there is judging you. she also bursts into a little rage against the machine.

blue makes herself uncomfortable with the sound of her own voice while she navigates through her feelings on suicide, the permanent answer to a temporary problem. national suicide prevention hotline: 1-800-273-8255 show notes @ hihowareyou.us  

this episode, blue talks about why playas need 8 hours of sleep a day, why blue light affects sleep, and why micronapping isn’t for everyone. oh hey, did you know playas is “beach” in espanol?

in this episode, blue talks about the importance of overcoming procrastination, creating good habits, and remind you that jay z is a better rapper than she is.

oh you know, just an intro to what it is to be a neurotic, self-deprecating introvert who’s finally had enough. skip this episode if you hate learning things about people.
