• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  You get to decide how you want to show up.
• 0:35
  Yes, that's what we're talking about today.
• 0:37
  So, this is probably the most important one, which was why I
• 0:42
  decided to end with this one for this week because to me, when
• 0:47
  you get to the power of the awareness of understanding that
• 0:51
  you get to decide how you show up in every situation in every
• 0:56
  single way. It's always on you to decide
• 1:00
  who. It are going to choose to be,
• 1:02
  always you get to decide who you're going to choose to be.
• 1:05
  Not without question. It's the choice is up to you and
• 1:10
  as you start to make those choices and as you start to
• 1:14
  Define who you want to be and how you want to show up, life
• 1:17
  transforms, things change. And I will tell you that it's
• 1:23
  not easy to make a decision about who you want to be in a
• 1:26
  moment when you're frustrated irritated ready to cry.
• 1:30
  It's not an it's not an easy task to say, hey, I am going to
• 1:36
  choose the higher Road not easy at all actually very frustrating
• 1:41
  because most of the time, when you do such a thing, you have,
• 1:46
  you know, all these emotions, whirling in your head.
• 1:48
  At the same time, you feel overwhelmed and you're not sure
• 1:53
  what to do. So you're going to go to the
• 1:55
  default emotions that you're having, whatever those may be.
• 1:57
  And as those, you know, feed through you.
• 2:01
  And start to work their way through you that's when you have
• 2:04
  to come back down. So often you will hear me say
• 2:08
  when emotions go up intelligence goes down.
• 2:11
  That's why it's so important to wait.
• 2:14
  You don't have to respond instantaneously.
• 2:17
  In fact you should not respond instantaneously, you should hold
• 2:20
  back. You should give yourself the
• 2:22
  opportunity to really work through where you are get the
• 2:26
  information. It's trying to give you and then
• 2:28
  make a choice of how you want to move forward and I don't care if
• 2:31
  this is just something complex is a big situation or something
• 2:35
  like really simple. You know?
• 2:37
  I'm in the process of doing some rebranding, on some things, and
• 2:40
  I have been looking at logos working on logos.
• 2:44
  And I will tell you, one of the hardest things that I go
• 2:47
  through. Personally is visual stuff,
• 2:49
  because I'm very attracted to getting stuck down a rabbit
• 2:54
  hole, which is why I won't go on Pinterest, in certain things.
• 2:57
  And when I do, it's ours, because I'm hyper So working
• 3:02
  through that, trying to make a snap decision for me, is, you
• 3:07
  know, it's very emotional but when emotions are up
• 3:10
  intelligence or down and I know that, so I will stop myself and
• 3:14
  I will say, okay I'm going to print this out.
• 3:16
  I'm going to stare at, I'm going to give myself a time frame, and
• 3:18
  then I will make a decision because I get to decide how I
• 3:21
  show up in every situation, every situation, something as
• 3:26
  simple as rebranding logos and something as complex as having
• 3:29
  an argument with my My husband or dealing with, you know,
• 3:33
  someone who's sick or whatever it might be, I get to decide.
• 3:37
  So part of this process when I say, you get to decide a lot of
• 3:42
  people get hung up and they think well, that's not really
• 3:46
  true. It's not really true.
• 3:48
  I am a victim of the circumstances and the
• 3:51
  circumstances, maybe your circumstances and there's no
• 3:54
  denying that but you being a victim of them is a choice.
• 3:58
  You deciding what you're going to think that's a choice.
• 4:00
  Ways you know, one can go in your head and make you think
• 4:04
  something that you don't if you don't care about what they think
• 4:09
  and you're going to make a decision for yourself, no one
• 4:11
  can make you care. We've all been down that road
• 4:14
  where we've said, I just don't think this person cares.
• 4:16
  And we've seen it and we and we've seen the results of
• 4:19
  someone not caring. So whether they like it or not,
• 4:23
  there is power in not worrying about what other people are
• 4:26
  thinking saying or doing and this is where You have the
• 4:31
  opportunity and I say it like that, it's not going to tell
• 4:35
  you, you have to do something, but you have the opportunity to
• 4:38
  really do, great things in your head, but no one can force you
• 4:43
  to do it, you have to make the decision to do it.
• 4:45
  You have to make the choice of what your response is going to
• 4:50
  be what, what do you want it to be about?
• 4:53
  How do you want it to look? How do you want to feel?
• 4:55
  What do you want to do? All of those things are up to
• 4:58
  you and that's in the Power of decision, you get to decide how
• 5:04
  you're going to show up. You know, when I started doing
• 5:07
  this podcast, I made the commitment that I was going to
• 5:09
  do it daily because I think having the little boost work for
• 5:12
  people and even if it's five minutes you know it makes a
• 5:16
  difference because it sets the tone, I get to decide how I'm
• 5:21
  going to do it every day. Are there days when I don't feel
• 5:24
  like coming out here sometimes? Yeah, I mean, I'm going to come
• 5:27
  out to take care of the chickens but sometimes I don't feel like
• 5:30
  work. According but I decided how I
• 5:32
  wanted to show up. I decided that I wanted to be
• 5:34
  that for sigh. I made those choices and I don't
• 5:38
  think you guys know on the day is when I don't really feel like
• 5:41
  doing it, maybe you do, maybe you can pick up on it.
• 5:44
  But here's the thing, I decide that I'm going to show up no
• 5:47
  matter what, I get to make the choices, I get to decide in
• 5:51
  difficult situations, in Easy situations in all situations how
• 5:57
  I am going to react how I'm going to be how I'm going.
• 6:00
  And to think it's all up to me and that truly is empowerment.
• 6:04
  My friends when you recognize you are completely empowered
• 6:07
  because no one controls your thoughts, your feelings, your
• 6:10
  emotions. So I hope you realize that, I
• 6:13
  hope this was a helpful week in all of the you get to decide and
• 6:17
  I will see you tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
• 6:20
  Bye.
