Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai Candice Kumai

Analog Adoration & Wellness
Back before 2000: You were notable and/or well-known because you were talented, skillset, knowledgeable, educated & you had degrees and or you were excellent in your field due to hard work.
Titles were earned - not self proclaimed.

Martha Stewart was Baking & Publishing her Mag
Alice Waters was cooking 
Thich Nhat Han Was writing books
 Dr Wayne Dyer was giving talks
The Bulls were winning basketball games 
Men's Health was the hottest mag 
Models Modeled
Actors Acted
 Snoop was Rapping
 Dr Dre was really the coolest
 Leonardo Dicaprio was the hottest thing and he still is 

We used analog clocks, land lines, called for cabs on the phone or by hand

We connected more as humans We figured out how to get from A To B using our brains or maps no a phone Eventually --We listened to music on an Apple Nano & then the Nokia rage came out 
- one day my roommate in college said :wow you can get gmail on the phone now: ... and then my life was over. 

Here's what we can do that's REAL wellness and not fake - sleep better without any digital needs - lay off the drugs and alcohol- don't buy shit you don't need - its ALL marketing read more books - read bestsellers - - get outside and run - go to events with no cell phones allowed- try to use a regular alarm clock - write and mail thank you cards, post cards, mail letters - try to disconnect at least on weekends- unfollow strange ppl on social who are only giving opinions (try living a life without opinions from others or reading reviews)- learn from those who made it in the analog years - they deserve an applause if they are still here and esp to those who have passed. - pick up a book by Roald Dahl book, a Dennis Rodman book 1996!, watch the last dance - remember what it was like not to be a slave to being available to everyone and using a land line and mail 

give props to those who came up in analog - without this hot mess of social distortion and fake famous shit - mark my words - it will fade with time & the cream will still rise to the top 

-follow real deal. Remember what truly matters.
Thank you for listening xx ck

If you feel rejected or dumped - its best to remember that everyone is in a position where they can feel on top of the world on e day & the very next - you only have one other place to go. In today's episode you'll be able to feel comfort, shared feelings of loss, rejection and shame. As well as learning of the difference between solid advice and just someone's opinion. Along with my own recent rejections, low lows and how I figured out how to get my self out of this situation and pivot. I can relate to all of you real-deal hustlers!! So keep going because - you may just need to get back to where you started- redirect your sails and get you closer to where you were born to be. Trust me -- its on its way. Thank you for listening xx Candice

Mental Health matters - each month- beyond this month. I'm here to share some simple ways you can overcome your own mental health battles - in a world where so many are dishonest about who they are and where they came from. Choose to face your own demons and mental health battles with ease, kindness, boundaries and your own light. Take your time as well, there is no rush to be better and no need to be a part of the social media (wasted time) rat race. Choose to be of good use to others.

Don't let anyone ever tell you your struggles are "surface" and that your own mental health issues do not matter. We belittle one another on social media & it is time for us to begin to value, love and soften around each other more. With love and good care- Candice xx
