• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. So today we're talking about
• 0:31
  seeing ourselves healthy. Boy, that's something
• 0:34
  interesting, isn't it? Where you can envision yourself
• 0:36
  as healthy even though you might not be where you want to be, and
• 0:40
  I'm talking minor, major, it doesn't really matter.
• 0:43
  It's really a state of mind to be able to shift and see
• 0:47
  yourself where you want to be instead of where you currently
• 0:50
  are. And for all of us, it doesn't
• 0:52
  matter what you're doing, where your conditions are, how your
• 0:57
  body is feeling, being able to see your body as you wish it to
• 1:03
  be is a skill that is probably the most uncultivated skill that
• 1:09
  I think we under cultivated, skill that we probably possess
• 1:13
  because we look at the problem and we start working on it, but
• 1:17
  we keep looping back to the problem.
• 1:18
  We'll keep looking back. Well, I'm not getting enough
• 1:20
  steps and I'm not eating healthy.
• 1:22
  I'm not doing this. I'm not doing that.
• 1:24
  And rarely are we putting ourselves in the position where
• 1:26
  we're stopping, pausing, closing our eyes and using our
• 1:30
  imagination to see ourselves as we want to be, not as we are,
• 1:34
  but as we want to be. And again, imagination is, you
• 1:37
  know, key to this and This is why we have it.
• 1:39
  So it helps us pull ourselves up from, you know, the bottom of
• 1:44
  the pit, so to speak, and say, all right, well, if my
• 1:47
  imagination can do this, then it helps me to put the force behind
• 1:51
  the collective that I am and move myself forward with all of
• 1:56
  it. But you have to utilize your
• 1:57
  imagination. That's where so many people get
• 2:00
  stuck with this. So looking at yourself healthy,
• 2:04
  getting yourself to that point is tricky because you have to
• 2:09
  actually really like stop and pause and say, OK, I need to
• 2:13
  focus in on what is my outcome here, What do I really want?
• 2:17
  Am I going to see it in stages? Am I seeing the end game?
• 2:19
  People always ask me, well, should I just go for the end
• 2:21
  game or should I just go a different route?
• 2:24
  And I will say this, I think the most important aspect of what
• 2:28
  you can focus on is wherever you are, whatever you decide you
• 2:33
  want to focus on, that's the part that you choose to focus on
• 2:37
  you, you try to not focus on where you are.
• 2:39
  But I'm saying the next step up. So for some people it's like in
• 2:42
  steps, some people like it in segments.
• 2:44
  I myself want to go right to the end and just see it right there.
• 2:47
  And I just keep visualizing that knowing that I'm going to pass
• 2:50
  all those little steps along the way to get to that point.
• 2:54
  So when I was working on getting healthy again and losing the
• 2:57
  weight that I wanted to lose, getting to that ideal weight,
• 3:01
  doing the steps, getting out of pain because I had such horrific
• 3:05
  pain in my feet from plantar fasciitis, I had to just see it
• 3:10
  in at the end game. I didn't see it in those little
• 3:14
  pieces in between. I just had to see it as pain
• 3:17
  free. And for me it was a really big
• 3:19
  deal to do it that way. Just OK, I tried everything that
• 3:23
  they said, nothing worked. And because of that boom, I knew
• 3:26
  I had to do something different. And that different thing was
• 3:30
  using my visualization and making a plan for what worked
• 3:34
  for me. Which was essentially just
• 3:37
  saying, hey, no matter what is going on here in in my body, I'm
• 3:41
  going to see it in my head. Now I will say today I am
• 3:44
  completely pain free. My feet no longer have it.
• 3:47
  I walk with absolute ease and I do not have any repercussions
• 3:51
  from it at all. But that came from me
• 3:55
  visualizing and doing the work at the same time.
• 3:58
  The work was to lose the weight, to get rid of inflammation in my
• 4:02
  body, to walk anyway, because no matter how much I sat, it didn't
• 4:05
  help and I kept visualizing what it was like to move freely.
• 4:09
  Now I'm not saying that this is the only solution.
• 4:13
  I want everyone to hear this. But what I'm saying is you have
• 4:16
  to utilize your imagination in the process of healing as much
• 4:21
  as you utilize your conscious mind to see what's wrong.
• 4:25
  Because you're constantly all of us, over focus on what is wrong
• 4:31
  because it's our nature, it's our hard wiring to do so, but
• 4:34
  that doesn't help us essentially.
• 4:36
  So what we really need to focus on is using our imagination just
• 4:39
  as much as we use our conscious mind to get the outcome, if that
• 4:43
  makes sense. We are so unaware is probably
• 4:48
  the best thing to say about it. We are just wholly unaware of
• 4:52
  how powerful our imagination is. And when we start utilizing it
• 4:57
  in a way that can be tremendous and move us forward in such
• 5:01
  effortless ways, it it just shifts everything.
• 5:06
  So I think if you just really focus on the fact that you can
• 5:13
  do this, a portion of this with your imagination wholeheartedly,
• 5:18
  you will be so surprised at the outcome.
• 5:21
  Because I know I was when I started doing this and now I
• 5:25
  utilize it for as much as I possibly can.
• 5:27
  I'm constantly asking how can I do this with my imagination?
• 5:31
  What can I put together with my imagination?
• 5:33
  How can I put my creativity to work with this?
• 5:36
  How can I visualize? And that, my friends, is where
• 5:40
  the kicker is. So good luck.
• 5:43
  Work on your health. Work on putting that in a big
• 5:46
  focus. Because I promise you, when you
• 5:48
  see yourself healthy and always, you are going to flourish.
• 5:52
  All right. I hope you have a wonderful,
• 5:54
  blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:56
  Bye.
