Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to the Moments Podcast. I'm your host, Lexi, and today we're going to be talking about a few phrases that you might hear online every once in a while that might not be so good for your mental health. Essentially, I saw a TikTok video

was talking about de-influencing you from toxic phrases that you hear online. And the video was posted on Sienna May's account, and I highly recommend going and watching that. I want to go a little bit more in-depth on some of the phrases that she spoke about

but also incorporate some new phrases. I thought the video was extremely inspiring and extremely important. I've had it on my list of video ideas or episode ideas for a really long time to make an episode like this and seeing her video just like restruck the inspiration in me. And I think that we could deep dive on some of these things. I think it's really easy to be subconsciously affected by the things that we're constantly seeing on social media,

But subconsciously, if we see them enough, we start to believe them. So I just kind of want to go through each of those and talk a little bit more in detail of them, about them. I have an outline for today. Look at me go. Being official. The first one is something that you hear all the time. We've all heard it a million trillion gazillion times. I've probably even said it a million trillion gazillion times because there's parts of it that are true.

But the phrase is, if he wanted to, he would. This usually directly applies to relationships, but I'm changing this to, if they wanted to, they would. One, it makes it applicable to all relationships. I don't know who's out there listening right now. Two, I want this to go beyond romantic relationships. I want you to think about...

personal friendships. I want you to think about family relationships, like relationships with your siblings, with your parents, with your grandparents, even with your bosses, with your coworkers, with your classmates. This is a phrase that we're going to dissect in every single relationship standpoint. What this phrase does is it suggests that somebody's actions are always going to clearly reflect their feelings.

I think when we think about this, it's really important to recognize one, ask yourself, do my feelings, do my actions always properly reflect my feelings? The answer is probably not. How many factors affect how you show up and how you show your emotions and your feelings? Many, right? Think about that.

Past relationships that you've been in, past traumas that you've had, past childhood things that you went through. Okay, take for example, with a phrase like this, where we're really trying to think about, you know, the other person, like, oh, they're not doing this for me. They're not doing that for me. They're not bringing me flowers. They're not texting me first all the time. I like to put myself in the other person's shoes because I think it helps us realize how sometimes absurd these statements are.

Okay, say you grew up in a family that was very emotionally distant. Okay, you didn't spend a lot of time talking about your feelings with your siblings, with your parents. You just kind of would experience things, have arguments, go through negative situations, and then never speak of them ever again.

This probably makes you have a more avoidant relationship style. And it makes you think that when you get into a relationship, since you constantly watch your parents not communicate about things that they struggled with or arguments that they had or arguments that you had with them, you immediately assume that that is exactly how relationships should go. You know, you fight and then you like get over it in your own head and you don't talk about it and you don't communicate it and you move on.

that is not your fault that that is the experience that you had. Take, for example, your partner. On the opposing side of the argument, grew up in a family that was extremely well-connected, very, very communicative,

I don't know if that's a word, but would talk about things in detail. Hey, you said this and it made me feel this way. And I hope that moving forward, you don't make me feel this way anymore. So-and-so and so-and-so. Okay. Maybe their mom was a very gentle parent, you know, maybe your partner and their sibling would get into fights and their parents would make them talk it out and communicate it. So that's,

They go into a relationship and they want to communicate the situation that just happened. They want to talk about the argument in depth, okay, and figure out why it happened and get to the root of it. But you want to avoid the situation completely. Neither of those things are your fault.

both of you think the other person isn't showing up for you in the way that you need. You, as an avoidant, might be like, oh my gosh, why is this person trying to talk to me about this? Don't they know that we just move on and we never have to fight about it again because we just silence our own feelings and move on from it?

And to them, they're wondering like, wow, why doesn't my partner want to talk to me about this? Don't they want to get to the solution so that we don't have this argument again? Neither of you are wrong. Neither of you are at fault. But if you live in this mindset space of if he wanted to, he would, or if this person knew me, they would know how to argue with me, whatever it may be. No, you have to communicate things.

Okay, you come from different childhoods, different pasts, no past at all. Think about people who have never been in a relationship before. It's really hard to get into a relationship. A relationship is not easy. It involves a lot of difficult conversations and things that you have to work through and go through and learn from. You can't learn if you have no experience, okay?

Everybody's at a different state of mental health. Okay, some people have a hard time communicating because of their own barriers that they have set for them or have a hard time showing up in the way that you want them to because of their own stuff. Okay, they have traumas. There's a lot of pressure. There's so many factors. And what this phrase does is it skips over the importance of communication in friendships and in relationships. Not only that, but it can lead you into blaming yourself.

By saying things like, oh, they don't love me enough. That's why they're not doing that. Which just leads you down a spiral and a snowball and it goes and goes and goes into a really dark place. So I think that you need to completely think about the statement in a different way. And when you hear the statement, I want it to do something different than just like make it about you and make you feel like somebody's supposed to just be able to read your mind and know exactly how to treat you. Friendships and relationships. I want it to

open your mind and make you think about communicating. And I hope that when anybody hears this, they can do that. I think a good little rephrase. When I was trying to write these rephrases, it's early morning. My brain was not putting the words together in the right way. So just bear with me. But what I wrote is that if we both communicate our needs, we will better serve one another. The reason I say this isn't just about relationships, even though the main example that I gave you was relationships,

I want you to think about your friendships as well. For example, I am somebody who has been really, really, really blessed by God to have a best friend who has been my best friend since I was five years old. Okay. I'm not talking childhood friend that I just like see every once in a while and hang out with once in a while. Like, no, this is my soulmate, my sister. We've been through everything together. We fully grown up together. So when it comes to us arguing, we're

We know how to argue. We know how to meet each other's needs. I have other really incredible friends in my life that I met way later on in life. Okay? Not every friendship is blessed enough to have gone through every phase of life together. So therefore, when issues come up in newer friendships, for me it can be really easy to just kind of like put a pin in it and put some distance between me and that friend.

Because I'm just scared of confrontation. I'm scared of having conversations. But then I remind myself that just because there's one miscommunication, there's one small issue in a friendship, it doesn't mean that it's worth throwing away. Me assuming that I want this person to know how to treat me and I want this person to never have any kind of issue with me is just not realistic. It's not realistic at all.

Say you're having a hard time with your partner right now, or maybe with even like a family member, a coworker, and you're just like really frustrated at them because there's something that they're not doing that you want them to be doing for you or towards you, but you've literally never told them before. Okay. There's a phrase that I absolutely love that says you can't expect what you don't clearly communicate.

And it's true. It's true. You have to know that people aren't inside your brain. You have to tell them what you want in a nice, kind, gentle delivery kind of way. And if after you communicate with people what you want and why in a gentle, kind-hearted way, and they still don't make a change, that's when you can kind of apply this phrase a little bit more and you can start to evaluate, okay, how many times have I told this to my partner?

20 million trillion gazillion. They're still not hearing me. They're still not making an effort to be there for me. That's a completely different issue. And that's when you can kind of open the conversation of like, is this person treating me right? But if you've literally never communicated it ever before, how are they supposed to know? We're going to move into the next one, which is if you're not first, you're last. Oh my gosh. The amount of times I hear this nonsense.

This phrasing, this attitude, this idea is not something that I want you to live by or something that I want you to stick to. I think a lot of this tough love ideology works for some people.

But only because we've like forced it to work for people. You know, we've made people feel like the key to success in life is being at the top and making the most money and having the most success and being 24-7 working and being waking up at 5 a.m. No. Okay, that's not what life's about. We're going to get into that in further phrases as we go through this episode. But what this phrase does is

is it makes it seem like your success or failure is completely reliant on you. Completely takes out of the picture the fact that there are so many other factors that involve your success or that not involve, that affect your success or where you go in life or what you do in life. Like it's really naive to believe that you are literally the only thing that matters and you are the only factor

life is going to happen. Things are going to hit you. It's not always going to be easy. There's going to be obstacles. There's going to be people who have it a little bit easier to get to the top than you. And truthfully, there will always be somebody more at the top than you. And I'm not telling you that in a degrading way. I'm hoping that it actually does the opposite and it can motivate you differently than like motivate you to keep pushing to the top. But

More so that it can just give you a little sense of peace, okay, that you can just remember that if you're constantly chasing the top, you will never be happy with where you're at. You will never be okay with your placement if first is the only thing that matters to you. If being above everybody and having more than everybody is your only goal in life, you're never going to be happy.

And that's the truth. But the world has made us feel like we constantly have to be chasing, running, passing people. You don't. You don't. You just have to do your best and you have to do what you love. That is what defines success to me. Success looks different to every single person ever. But I think that if you're happy, if you're doing what you love, if you feel peace in your heart, if you're content with where you're at, that is success. Okay? And...

Being content with where you're at doesn't mean not putting your best foot forward. It doesn't mean not working on being better every day. But it just means not feeling this need in the depths and desires of your heart and soul to be number one.

I think that this mindset can also kind of lead us to envy of other people who are ahead of us. And we've talked about this on this podcast 18 trillion gazillion times before. Say it with me. If you can't clap for others, it'll never be your turn.

I think that living in this, if you're not first, your last mindset makes you envious, jealous, mad at people who you deem above you, which first of all, nobody's above you. Every single person in this world is in a different book, reading a different chapter with their own God-given purpose. You are exactly where you're supposed to be. That is where God puts you. But

It is what social media does, it makes us believe that we're all on this exact same path and some people are going to be ahead. And if you're mad at people for being quote-unquote ahead of you, you won't ever be ahead enough for yourself. You'll always be too far behind. But choosing to be happy for other people, fully, deeply, proudly happy for other people is going to make your happiness and your success so much more grand than you realize.

that power is yours. And I'm telling you this one from like deep, dark, personal experience. I mean, not to like be vulnerable, even though I say this on many episodes ever, I fall so victim to doing this, especially in the world of just creators and social media. It's like a, sometimes can feel like a rat race to the never ending finish line, like every other career in life. But you know, the one that you're in is where you kind of feel it the most. And

I constantly watch these creators who are doing more and more and more and more than me, and I used to get angry. I used to be like, well, why do they get to have that and I don't get to have that? And then I think for a second, and I reflect on my own life, and I recognize all the things that I do have.

And I learned to be happy for other people. And it makes me happy with where I'm at, no matter how big or small that is. You know, there's always going to be somebody doing it better, doing it more. I think it's really important to recognize that you live a life that someone else is praying for. It doesn't matter how much you think that you don't have in your life. If you are listening to this on your phone, on your laptop, in your car, in your house, on your way home from school,

You have something that somebody else is praying for and it's so easy to forget that and it's not your fault. It's nobody's fault. It's the way that we've been conditioned to believe. But at the core of it, there's so much more to be grateful for that's right in front of you that you have right now. The phone you're listening to this on, the school you're walking home from, the toilet you're listening to this on. You got a place to go to the bathroom. You got water to drink. You have an education to get.

Girl, you are first. Here's what I rephrased it to. Remember, I wrote these before 8 a.m. If you're doing the best you can, then you're winning. I think it can be as simple as that. And I think it's a good little reminder, okay? You don't have to be first ever. There's honestly not even a race. There's no race. Everybody's in their own individual lane, just bopping around the lazy river. Life is a lazy river, not a freaking marathon.

Quick little intermission, you guys. Telling you about something you know that I know and love and I'm constantly telling you about.

Moving on. This one kind of aligns to the same thing. Everybody says money buys happiness. I will not deny that in the economy that we're in today, the state of the world that we're in today, money can buy comfort. Money can do a lot, okay? But money cannot bring you joy if the way that you live is by viewing that money is going to be the sole thing that brings you happiness.

What's going to bring you happiness is connection, is faith, is gratitude. My rephrase to this one is simple. Gratitude buys happiness. If you live in the mindset that money buys happiness, all you will be chasing for the rest of your life is money.

You'll be chasing it so fast and so hard that along your run, you'll forget to stop and talk to your grandparents. You'll forget to go hang out with your family. You'll forget to go on a walk with your partner. You'll forget to go outside and feel the breeze on your skin. You'll be running so fast that you will pass all of that. And by the time that you have your money, you'll realize that money wasn't the happiness. It was all those interactions you had on the way.

Gratitude buys happiness. Don't idolize the wrong things in life, okay? The more gratitude that you have, the more faith that you have, the more purpose that you chase, the more money that will come to you. I'm not saying don't work. You don't need any money. We have responsibilities. We have bills to pay. I fully understand that. And I know that our economy right now is not necessarily the best place to be. I'm not denying that we need to make money and we need to have money to be successful.

okay in this world. I'm not saying scratch all of that, but I'm saying do the best you can to do a little bit of digging deeper to recognize that money isn't everything. It's not. It never will be. There's a lot more things to be grateful for along the way. A lot of these kind of go back a

to that same messaging, but I really, really, really, my favorite rephrase so far is that gratitude buys happiness. You know, I think a lot of people like to think the same way and a lot of people have experienced this. We set this idea in our mind that once we have this one thing, we'll be happy. Okay, once we have the perfect body, we'll be happy. Once we're in the perfect relationship, we'll be happy. Once we go on that vacation, we'll be happy. Once I get this promotion, I'll be happy. Once I get this degree, I'll be happy.

But again, if you're chasing that without admiring all the little stops on the way, not smelling the roses on the way, not making connections and friendships and having wonderful conversations along the way, not eating good food along the way, you'll get to the finish line and realize that that was never the thing that was going to make you happy. That doesn't mean those can't be goals for you, but it should not be everything, okay? A goal can be worked towards slowly and gracefully.

And it might bring you a little bit of joy when you get to it. When you get to the end of the road, good, it should. But not if it's the only thing you appreciated and looked towards in life.

Next one, only focus on yourself. You're the only person that you need. Yeah, I've probably said that before a million times. But the reality is this kind of messaging, this conversation defeats community completely. And I think one of the big problems that we face in the world right now is that we have completely decided that community doesn't matter.

We've convinced people that you only matter, okay? You shouldn't care about others. You shouldn't give to others. Just be on your clock, doing your thing, making your moves, making your success. Do you know what that does? It makes us so depressed. Community is key, okay? Friendships, relationships, relationships.

conversations with your coworkers, with your classmates, going to, if you're religious and you go to church, go find a Bible study group, find like-minded people, drive the people to the airport that you love. Don't make them get an Uber. We have completely killed the idea and we have completely given up on community. Again, it's not something that is our fault. It is something that, you know, society has slowly been pushing onto us and pushing onto us and pushing onto us.

subtly until we start to just feel that way and we make our own selves the center of the universe. It shouldn't be that way. I was in Bible study and we had like a guest speaker and he said this one thing that really resonated with me. If you're not religious, it might not resonate with you, but it was really beautiful. And if you're Christian, you'll love this too. But I think even if you're not, just

He was talking about the word joy and he said, look at the world, the word joy as an acronym. Okay. J being for Jesus, meaning Jesus comes first above everything else. O being others, which mean others come second. U being you, which means you come last. That is how you feel joy in your life by putting Jesus first, others second, and you third.

And I think that if you were to say that to some people, they'd be like, heck no. Heck no. I'm first, then others, then Jesus. Or I'm first, then Jesus, then others. Okay? Taking Jesus out of the picture. I'm first and then others. I think it's much easier to be happy

when you put others first. I've experienced this myself. You know, we constantly hear the phrase, oh, you have to fill your own cup before you can fill anybody else's. Sometimes this is true. Sometimes we're so depleted that we have nothing to give other people. But sometimes we're selfish with what's in our cup. We keep everything in our cup for ourselves and we don't want to share it with the world and we don't want to give it back to the community. But sometimes when your cup is getting low, you're not going to be able to give it back to the community.

Sometimes what is going to fill it is going and being involved in your community. For me, when I'm freaking at the worst state of my mental health ever, the first place I go is to volunteer at the animal shelter because dogs and volunteer work gives me joy. It fills my cup so much that I have enough to overflow into other worlds.

Recognize that sometimes being there for other people, being a shoulder to cry on, going and volunteering somewhere or driving somebody two hours to the airport or picking them up from the airport, whatever it is, that is gonna fill your cup even more than you could ever recognize. And I want you to try it because I think, you know, we're so convinced that that's not real. Everybody always says, "My cup has to be full first." Think about other ways to fill your cup, okay?

You can't do it all on your own. You need community. You do. It's going to help you so much more. It is going to make you feel happier. So don't only focus on yourself, okay? Pouring into others will actually help you pour into yourself. That's the rephrase.

Next, I got two more really quickly.

Fake it till you make it. I don't hate this one. I have used this one. I have said this one. I have applied this one to my life. I think what it does sometimes when we hear it is it encourages us to completely ruin our mental health because what it does is it makes us completely avoid a situation, completely deny an experience happened. I think that when we look at fake it till you make it and you use it as an excuse to not work through traumas that you have or emotions that you face or struggles that you've had, that's when it's a problem.

Okay, but I think that once you do the work, once you heal from what you're going through, once you journal it out, you talk about it, talk to a therapist, whatever it may be, once you've like recognized what it is that's making you feel the way that you're feeling, you can't keep holding on to it. And that's when you kind of fake it till you make it. Okay, you just have to start moving forward once you've worked through something. As humans, we've talked about this before, we choose to just

Grab on to sadness and sulk in it. Hold grudges. Live in just darkness. Why? I don't freaking know why we do it. But it is a thing. There's studies on it. It is proven. There's research on this. Most of these things, there's probably research on. Just saying.

We choose to sit in sadness sometimes because it's more comfortable. We're more afraid of change than we are afraid of being sad because so many of us have just gotten used to being sad that it's our comfort zone. But sometimes change is worth it. Moving on is worth it. Letting go of a grudge is worth it. You will lift so much weight off of your shoulders if you just let it go, if you just leave it in the past and take the step forward. That doesn't mean don't do the work.

You have to heal. You have to talk about it. You can't just keep pushing it down. You have to put it out. Pushing it down means it's going to continue to build up and you're only going to feel worse in trying to move on. But putting it out, taking it out, leaving it, and then taking a few steps forward, that's where you're going to see everything change.

You're going to lift a gazillion pounds off your shoulders and you're going to be happier and life is going to be easier. Don't be the reason that your life is difficult. I'm not saying that if you're struggling in any way with your mental health or whatever it may be, that you can change everything. I'm not saying that at all. But what I'm saying is that you have a little bit more power than you give yourself. You can change something that can make you feel a little bit better and step by step,

You will feel better and better and better and better just by doing small things. Little things go a long way. Don't deny the power of them, okay? So I know we got a little off track there. It's what we do around here.

So the rephrase for fake it till you make it is do the work and start moving on. Again, if you guys can think of better ways to rephrase these, drop them in the comments, send me a DM. I think that we could do better with the rephrases. But like I said, 7 a.m., remember? Okay, the last one we're going to talk about really quickly here. Cut off people who don't add value to your life.

I've probably said this one too, okay? I'm not sitting here repeating all these to you saying I've never said them before, saying they don't have truth. Sometimes I'm just saying them and we're getting a little deeper into them. This goes back to only focus on yourself. Defeats how powerful community is. Defeats how powerful connection is. We need those things to prosper in life. The true meaning of life.

Okay? Sometimes you are put into people's life to be the one that adds value to their life, to be the one that changes their life, to bring light to them, to bring joy to them, to inspire them. Life is not, and relationships are not, a constant transaction. You give me this, I give you this. You give me this, I give you this. I don't know why we've convinced ourselves to believe that everything in life is transactional. Sometimes you have to be willing to give

Not get anything back. What you might get back is the joy that you provide for somebody, the inspiration that you give somebody. You might pull yourself, pull somebody I mean, out of a dark hole by just being yourself. And you could miss out on that opportunity by being selfish enough to believe that since this person isn't giving you anything, why would you give them something? Don't live your life like that. Value connection. Recognize how much you can help people by just being you.

Go be a light in the world. Say hi to strangers, compliment strangers, give love without needing it back because when you give love, I promise it comes back around one way or another. So I think that this one is a little bit different from don't be, don't spend time around people who don't inspire you. I think they're also kind of similar. So I don't really know what I meant to say there, if I think they're similar or if they're different. They both have some things that are important.

But most importantly is that you're not always going to be inspired by the people around you. You're not always going to receive something from the people around you. That doesn't mean you just cut people out.

It actually means you pour a little bit more into them. When we go back to the key messaging of this episode is that community is important. Connection is important. The things that we are taught mean success aren't success. Gratitude is important and appreciating every single thing that you have is key. So I hope that you took a little bit of that away from this episode.

And I could do more of these. I had more written down. I just didn't like write any more details about them because I figured this would be already 30 minutes. But if you want another episode like this, leave it in the comments. Send me a DM. I really love you guys. I hope you know that you are worthy, that you are loved. I hope you take everything that I say with a grain of salt. I'm no professional. I'm just 24 learning as I go and sharing with you what I learn. Okay.

We're going through this all together. We're learning, growing, evolving with one another. I love you with my whole heart. I couldn't do any of this without you. And I really appreciate you listening to the moments podcast. And I hope you stick around. You guys can find me on Instagram, Tik TOK, Pinterest, all the things. My username is at Lex Hidalgo. And if you guys really like journaling, I also have a journal called the moments journal. Hate to throw this little ad in there, but it's actually her one year birthday. Yeah.

yesterday and this journal means the world to me. It's a bunch of guided prompts that can help you really get to know yourself and understand your feelings a little bit better alongside an affirmation that you can tell yourself after you journal. I love you guys so freaking much. You inspire me every day more than you realize and thank you for always pushing me to be the best me that I can be. I hope that I can do a little bit of the same for you. I'll talk to you guys in two Wednesdays from now. Bye.

When we started writing our thoughts down on paper, it opened up endless possibilities. Ideas could grow beyond the borders of the mind. And it changed the world. Somewhere along the way, we lost touch with paper. Distracted by devices made for every purpose except for thinking and focus. On edge. Waiting for the next notification. But what if new technology didn't pull us away from paper, but brought us closer to it? Listen.
