Mara's here and she got me a pregnancy gift and it's so cute.

I love the baby clothes and everything so far.

Like, I just went crazy with baby clothes already.

She's—she hasn't shown—been shown on my channel yet, but I don't know if you're okay with it.

I'm like, "Hi." I'm like, "Oh, wow, hi." We're both pregnant.

She's still living her—she's still living her—no, she's still living her life, enjoying her travels, and

I'm doing a really bad ti—like, job at vlogging and I can't speak right now because I'm just, like, pregnancy brain.

But, like, I looked at myself in the mirror and I was like, "What the actual heck?" I think this lens is so dirty.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I was like, "What the actual heck?" I look like I'm 30 weeks pregnant.

I'm like, "Oh, I love this cute, cute thing over here," and it's like, "But there's a kid getting your boobs out." Oh my God.

These are actual houses that were, like, airlifted into this museum.

But yeah, it's just—it's like a half a park and half, like, just, like, a museum.

Like, the trees—like, this is the fall that we wanted.

Canned coffee has a very distinct taste in Japan.

Rather than making myself crazy and tired by trying to figure out the answer, or see the picture, or work out how it will work out, I choose instead to focus my energy on staying present, enjoying every moment as it presents itself.

I open my eyes to life as it is right now.

I know the gift of clarity will come when the time is right.

I'm, like, loving it and we haven't even seen anything yet.

I wanted to share this because this is also another moment where I'm learning to let go of something that I was or had, and

Me telling you to let go in situations you are trying to control doesn't mean that you'll master it 100% of the time.

Instead, practice awareness of your emotions and find resilience in moments where you feel things are hard.

Taking a train on an old train from the Edo period.

Here are some tips on learning to let go and just be.

Remember that it's okay to outgrow people, places, and

things, and it's okay for them to outgrow you as well.

Allow yourself to grieve the loss of what you're letting go of.

Ask yourself, "Why am I still holding on?

Does it truly feel good, or is it just familiar?" Remember, letting go is letting in.

Making room for something new is always hard, but it's worth it.

Over several years of living in Japan, whenever I found myself stuck in a vicious cycle, a repetitive routine that made me feel like I was living on autopilot and feeling stuck, I realized that most of the time that was a sign for me to let go of something I'm holding on to that isn't serving me.

And the secret to manifesting better things in my life is to practice the art of letting go.

And this is something that you'll never master.

We're at a bathhouse right now and back in the day.

So the view of Mount Fuji was put in the men's section because they really sex us back then.

In order for me to enjoy this pregnancy, I needed to let go of a lot of things, even if it was just temporary.

And because of that, I was able to find my creativity again, even though I had to think a little outside the box and adopt that lovely Japanese concept of beginner's mind.

I feel more at peace these days, even though some moments can be rough, life is always full of ebbs and flows.

And I need to remind myself that a lot of the time.

So there's these, like, little murals on the wall in the bathroom.

This is a bit disturbing to look at when you're trying to take a bath in the women's section right over here.

Some angry buckethead and some angry crabhead strangling a monkey.

And then we have talking birds to an old man, and they're waving goodbye.

So now we're on, like, the more Western side.

Kind of looks like Meiji period or something.

When I first moved to America, they still used this kind of stuff.

Some of the old buildings and, like, universities and stuff.

Like, even at my university, they had that.

This is what they used back in the day to order.

We're shopping for baby—baby stuff right now because I'm going to start nesting.

We need to start nesting now and thinking about the baby, so.

Every time I come here, I get so overwhelmed.

Well, everybody has these things, these little mats in their living room.
