when you go on the internet what you
will often find are people sharing their
amazingly exciting well-structured
well-balanced daily lives and well how
do I put this
oh my God good morning I don't know I
really struggled to make this because
that is just not what my life looks like
I'm gonna try and really make this a
realistic representation of what a day
looks like the problem is every single
day is an unpredictable adventure oh man
I needed this coffee so badly oh my God
this is heaven in a cup right now I was
in denial about this for a long time but
my life revolves around my creative
projects holy smoke they often require
me to do something different every
single day
oh hi there welcome back to Paris
today we're going to look for the best
and so this is what a life that revolves
around my little Artistic Endeavors
looks like
man I cannot talk in the morning
hello no
nobody wants to be filmed in the morning
we all struggle with this none of us are
morning people that's my mom my parents
are staying here for a couple of days
I'm showing the day
[Laughter]
I'm gonna have to explain why am I
waking up at 10 A.M in the morning it's
because we go to bed late
I've struggled with this for a long time
it's basically I'd like to think that I
can have you know a more normal schedule
but the truth is I'm at my best when I'm
going to bed at like one or two a.m and
waking up at like 9 or 10 a.m it's it is
what it is I think either the pandemic
just permanently ruined my sleep
schedule or I discovered what works well
for me doesn't this look like a podcast
setup I mean come on people this is how
I roll now Picasso's daily routine was
like a perfect fit hello
it is 12 23 a.m as in night time
oh yeah oh man look I take
responsibility for the death of that
plant I'm learning to take care of
plants and I'm not particularly good at
it I have a couple that are thriving
over there okay this one is called
Madeline named after the Paris Metro
station I was closest to when I bought
it my mama helped me bring it back to my
place
until I have my coffee it's like the day
doesn't really begin I can't even think
clearly in terms of consistency in the
morning coffee and meditation so what's
going on now what are you working on
you're feeling I'm actually setting up a
time lapse to Time Lapse myself
meditating
that's my life this is ridiculous saying
it out loud so I need things that help
ground me and that's one of the habits
that I picked up over the years that has
really stuck last time I did this was
three years ago in Mexico and I made it
this really polished thing and whatnot I
sleep with a mic apparently that's
realistic this is a really honest start
to this day in the life video when I'm
slowly coming to terms with is the fact
that I like playing with what I'm
allowed to say or do I'm an eternal
Explorer and there's nothing about the
way that I spend my time that I should
be embarrassed about why the [ __ ] should
other people's ideas of how I should
spend my time dictate how I live my life
if at this stage it means late mornings
and lots of time to think and being a
little all over the place then so be it
I'm collecting stories to tell I'm gonna
take her down to pee
she's doing her business in the most
tucked away corner
I'm a student of life my projects are
just an excuse to make art out of
whatever it is that I'm currently
working through whether that's dating
the pursuit of happiness or my spiritual
journey
my parents have just moved to France I
helped them with the moving process
because I had gone through it myself a
few months ago I did a video about them
moving to Portugal but after spending
more time in Europe they realize they
connected more with France and so
they're here now looking for a home I've
spent years living thousands of miles
away from my family in different
countries and for all of us to be in the
same country again what an hour hour and
a half away from each other yeah it
makes it so bizarrely easy to see each
other we're trying to find a new rhythm
again we're reconnecting it feels like
we've we've been catching up after years
of being separated it's been fun why why
are you here right now
we're here to cook with you oh
my God
will be here please please stop we're
gonna go get some fresh produce
and uh make some lunch so we walked down
the sixth flight of stairs just to
realize you forgot a scarf he needs a
beanie and we need to grab bags to go
shopping so I'm gonna run back up now
okay we've come to which is one of my
favorite streets there's all these
wonderful shops different produce
berries meat
cheeses you know so you can get pretty
much anything also it's freezing right
now wow look at this
I like the cafe you do yeah it's so cute
and after going at a very high intensity
with so many plates spinning at once for
so long I've realized that I need
periods where the rhythm of my life
slows down but this has been very
challenging for me because going more
slowly is uncomfortable in a world that
gives so many short-term rewards for
going fast
I wanted to capture some of the the
chaos that is uh the day-to-day life
here we're gonna make
and uh
yeah the truth is do we cook together
often no we don't cook together often
but food was a thing that was a major
part of childhood for me growing up
beautiful buttery scent just wafting up
just take a closer look really fluffy
let's Dive In
it's extremely valuable for all of us to
eat really well and that's one of the
major reasons that you're actually now
living in France right you feel the
quality of food here is incredible yes
it's like wow this is a new life yeah I
get to reinvent our future well we're
kind of I'm gonna wing it because I
don't like uh following recipes I get
bored okay but we bought some cool
ingredients whatever was in season I'm
your sous chef yes
in this sometimes rushed way of
approaching life I feel like I get
caught up in this idea of making
progress and this is how my mom
responded to me when I asked her about
it everybody wants to make progress in
life but what is what does progress mean
sometimes not doing for a while is
actually better than doing and that's
something that nobody ever brings up
there's an importance about letting
things
uh recharge and renew is admirable when
people really let the dirt on the ground
prepare and not constantly being put
seeds to grow more vegetables but
letting it sit basically with rotating
areas and we do need the same thing we
cannot be always outputting outputting
outputting at all times and we're
praised so much in society for that and
we don't praise for recharging which is
I think almost as or more valuable yeah
provincial go for it go for it oh I'm
doing it okay yeah and oh and yeah yeah
and a bit to that yeah oh I didn't do
that side it's okay it's okay it's okay
we need to
uh do we have pepper
yeah of course I have pepper oh perfect
in what conditions do you think I live
um this stuff inside inside yeah all
right can we redo it can I redo it sure
oh why what what I did something no I
should have seized
I literally redo it yeah this is this is
why we don't click together no because
if I'm not doing it I can't think
before I go any further into this day of
my life I'd like to briefly talk about
the sponsor of this video who have
supported many of my creative projects
over the years and that is skillshare I
do really love how the internet has made
so much information so much more
accessible and nowhere is that more
apparent than on skillshare I know it's
a silly thought but centuries ago the
things that we have access to now were
completely inaccessible and I try really
hard not to take that for granted I want
to highlight one class in particular
that was recently added and that is
really well made and taught by Jacob
Collier who is a Grammy award-winning
musician and
multi-instrumentalists and he talks
about music like it's a language which I
really like I mean that makes a lot of
sense to me and maybe it's because I
began dabbling a little bit more into
music again this year and I released the
single Frida which was a really cool
experience and it's so cool to share
music with the world but this is a topic
that fascinates me and that I'm curious
about Jacob takes idea videos that I've
had about creativity like leaning into
the things that you like or
experimentation and applies it in the
world of music so if you're interested
the first 1000 people to use the link in
the description will get a one month
free trial of skillshare consider
checking it out thank you skillshare for
sponsoring this video and now let's dive
back in we always have fascinating
conversations at the dinner table and I
wanted to share a little bit of the one
we had here it's funny to me that this
was day in the life of my entire
childhood and then it stopped for most
of my adulthood and now it's it's it's
kind of normal again we get to see each
other every few weeks yeah now that
you've moved here so that's cool yeah
all right well Cheers Cheers finally
arriving at some meal today yeah a lunch
a lunch that took us seven hours but
let's talk about plans for next year
what are you looking forward to because
this year was very
hard mentally for you you know I've come
to a realization I'm done putting these
ridiculous pressure standards on myself
why do you think you do that
I think there's there's this idea that
like I need to distinguish myself time's
running out and I'll never have a chance
to do these things and in rushing to to
try to make things happen get a book
published or whatever
I'm tripping over myself yeah and then
the actual thing that I really care
about the quality of the work the actual
Journey it gets lost and the thing I'm
more militant now about than ever is of
my own time and that this is something I
feel I'm witnessing with you guys one
you're making more conscious decisions
about how your time is spent in years
that's how I see you guys as you age
yeah it's it's more about how are we
spending our time do we care about what
we're doing does this matter yeah and
the second is a better use of your
energy I feel like you guys are getting
better as you get older and maturing are
not wasting so much time and energy
spinning your wheels worrying about
things that aren't necessary right yeah
or investing in projects that aren't
going anywhere yeah and I want to get
better at that I feel I'm still a little
all over the place but you're 25 yeah it
took a few decades I'm 25 but I'm not
20. a lot of that and and you may be
conscious or we may be conscious of
certain things but it doesn't mean we
Implement them all the time it's like
you're just more conscious of it oh
shoot I wasted my time doing such and
such I need to get back on track right
so it's not like you're getting perfect
I mean nobody's perfect yeah you're
you're you're you're in intentional
about what what you want well that's
what he's talking about the fact that
you observe and know that at age 25 I
didn't know that well thanks to you guys
I I have an example to pull from but I'm
just realizing okay it was fun living
this chaotic quickly changing life and I
and I just have something about myself
that is inherently chaotic and creative
we just went the wrong way and we're
late right now Classic this is me every
day basically okay cool we caught up
with them how did we do that but I can
also be mindful about how the time and
energy is spent I don't like the word
chaos negative it just it doesn't ring
when you say it you're labeling yourself
in a negative way yes it is destructive
and that's not you I think that's how
you see yourself or think that others
see you no you're not chaotic what you
are you are creative ambitious and
impatient yeah so it may look like
chaotic but it's it's the impatience
really but you have actually deep
organized thoughts you just are not
letting
the proper time to develop them but
you're learning that I mean and you're
learning it at an early age I mean
chaotic will be what somebody does
things without any thought and that's
never the case with you I would you
agree with that otherwise you would not
be able to produce the work that you
produce it wouldn't be possible the
project would get completed I think
that's the thing that I'm thinking a lot
about it's like
people have their own ideas about how
you should spend your time oh for
selfish reasons yeah and you have to be
you have to fight for your own time you
have to fight you have to fight for it
yeah you have to learn to say no you do
have to learn to say no I haven't been
very good at it you don't know how to
put boundaries because just just like me
you didn't want to please
you
you confused that doing that for others
is love
and so do I and that's not love love is
when you show up genuine and you're
clear about what your needs are and what
you really want and you say it from a
place of Peace so you need to find your
peace remember I told you if you find
your peace it's so much easier to put
boundaries and to know what you want how
I translate that this piece is what sits
well with you inside within you if that
makes you happy you're gonna make others
around you you can create harmony with
other people I think now you need your
own Inner Harmony
to be able to go into your future
projects and the things you want to do
yeah that's what I'm trying to figure
out right now
this is getting out of control butter
next to
cheese what's going on here people the
French like to eat cheese right after
and they're amazing meals yeah so we
want to be friends I know that in some
ways this is really not a typical day in
your life since every day looks
different on the outside but that
interaction might just be the best
possible answer I could give to what my
life looks like right now on the inside
I'm trying to figure out what a better
balance looks like and listen to the
inner voice that always speaks honestly
to me about what I care about doing and
where my real priorities lie it's a
journey but that's what I think we're
here to do life is a beautiful Adventure
