• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop we're talking
• 0:32
  about. We control our approach and what
• 0:36
  that means. So I spend my life talking about
• 0:39
  mindset and what mindset means to all of us.
• 0:42
  And really it boils down to one very important thing.
• 0:46
  How do you approach things? What is your core belief system
• 0:50
  that shows up when you are struggling, when you are happy?
• 0:55
  All of. Those good.
• 0:55
  Things. You know, there's an old saying
• 0:57
  that says when you squeeze something, you get out of it
• 1:01
  what it really is made out of. So if you squeeze a lemon, you
• 1:04
  get lemon juice out of it. And sometimes you've heard the
• 1:08
  phrase, I'm sure that when times get tough or things get
• 1:12
  irritating and you, that's the squeeze on the person.
• 1:16
  That's what you get out of it. But I don't necessarily believe
• 1:18
  it's quite like that. What I believe is it's a
• 1:22
  representation of if that person is having great things happen
• 1:28
  and they had that High Peak opportunity to show you who they
• 1:31
  are, that's what comes out. If there are low things
• 1:34
  happening and you squeeze them, so to speak, that's what comes
• 1:37
  out. It's always that high peaks,
• 1:41
  whether they're positive or negative, that puts people under
• 1:44
  pressure or puts them in emotionally high spots and they
• 1:50
  you squeeze it and that's what comes out.
• 1:52
  But ultimately what it all comes down to is one very simple and
• 1:55
  important. In fact, it is all about how you
• 1:58
  approach things. And none of us, including
• 2:01
  myself, are great in certain situations.
• 2:03
  Like, I know for a fact, and we were joking about it yesterday,
• 2:07
  there's no way. As much as I want to believe I
• 2:09
  could go on the show naked and afraid and be super successful
• 2:12
  with it, I could never do it in a million years.
• 2:16
  I we've had endless rain and yesterday our water company came
• 2:21
  out and decided to flush the systems out to be safe, but it
• 2:26
  turned all the water a yellowish color.
• 2:29
  And I about lose my mind when this happens.
• 2:31
  Like I'm, I was just like, Oh my gosh, no, we don't drink that
• 2:35
  water because I'm insane about water that I drink.
• 2:38
  And I just, I was losing it because my animals are drinking
• 2:42
  this like I use it for the farm. And I was just like, you've got
• 2:45
  to be kidding me. And the joke was, well, we know
• 2:49
  mom can never go on naked and afraid.
• 2:51
  And my husband was laughing. He's like, Nope, not, not your
• 2:54
  chance in hell that's ever happening because I have very
• 2:58
  when that shows up, my approach, the squeeze of that lemon is.
• 3:01
  To panic. No joke, I was like freaking out
• 3:04
  wanting to call. Them and.
• 3:05
  Find out what is going on. Of course they're going to say
• 3:08
  it's safe because that's what their job is, but I was so
• 3:13
  pushed and it got me to really thinking about.
• 3:16
  How? OK, here we are.
• 3:18
  What you're going to be approached to this?
• 3:20
  Where are? You going to stop what?
• 3:21
  What is going to be your approach right?
• 3:22
  Now are. You going to keep panicking
• 3:24
  about it or are you just going to run the water?
• 3:26
  Are you going to try to flush the systems yourself?
• 3:28
  What are you going to do? How are you going to do it?
• 3:30
  But that all comes back to that mindset in the moment and.
• 3:33
  I find it very funny and humorous, but no matter how much
• 3:37
  I know about this stuff, it still gets me.
• 3:39
  Now, does it get me for a very long time?
• 3:41
  No. I can pull myself back.
• 3:45
  You know, even just before coming out to do this, you're
• 3:47
  doing, I'm doing. Laundry.
• 3:49
  And of course this would happen when the sheets.
• 3:53
  Are there right? I've got to wash sheets, heavy
• 3:55
  sheets, and of course those sheets would be white and I just
• 3:58
  started laughing about it. When I pulled them out and saw
• 4:01
  that they had a tint to them. I was like.
• 4:03
  My certainty girl is. Freaking out.
• 4:06
  So re wash the sheets, dry them. If you have to, you'll wash.
• 4:10
  Them again because. The water.
• 4:12
  Will clear up and I have to drill into my own head this.
• 4:17
  Too shall. Pass.
• 4:18
  But that's part of the mindset, that's part of the approach,
• 4:21
  that's part of the perspective. It's.
• 4:23
  How you? Approach everything.
• 4:25
  What mindset am I going to go into this with?
• 4:28
  You know, after the storm and everything that's happened.
• 4:31
  So much water. Every every plant is.
• 4:34
  Beaten up. The garden is just.
• 4:36
  Toast and. The idea?
• 4:38
  The weeds are out. Of control.
• 4:40
  And the heat is so high you can't do anything about it.
• 4:43
  So is it a surrender? No.
• 4:45
  It's just a perspective of saying now is not the time.
• 4:48
  It will be the time soon, but now is not the time.
• 4:52
  So it's all about. Pulling yourself in and
• 4:55
  recognizing what am I doing with this information?
• 4:59
  Am I causing my own strife or am I actually stopping and saying,
• 5:03
  Nope, I'm going to change my approach, I'm going to look at
• 5:07
  this from a different way. What perspective am I going to
• 5:10
  hold right now? So it's just always a good
• 5:13
  reminder. And I was laughing when I was
• 5:14
  like, OK, ready to go out, ready to take care of this.
• 5:17
  And then I saw the sheets and I was like, I have to tell them
• 5:20
  this because it's even me. And is it driving me crazy
• 5:24
  somewhere on the back of the bus in my head?
• 5:26
  Sure is. But I don't let her drive.
• 5:28
  I just tell her thank you for sharing, put her in the back of
• 5:31
  the bus and carry on as a, you know, a Margaret Thatcher old
• 5:35
  quote, stiff upper lip, carry on.
• 5:37
  And that's. What?
• 5:38
  We're doing. So.
• 5:39
  I hope you have a blessed day my friends.
• 5:42
  I hope your water is clear and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:44
  Bye.
