• 0:22
  Along with all her chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so I'm sharing one of my
• 0:31
  favorite tricks with you about keeping yourself on track and
• 0:35
  that is talking to yourself. Now, I know there's going to be
• 0:39
  people out there that are already laughing and saying hey
• 0:41
  wait a minute, talking to yourself, doesn't that mean?
• 0:42
  You're insane. I'm not talking about the
• 0:45
  typical walking around your house talking to yourself.
• 0:47
  What I'm talking about is making little recordings to yourself
• 0:51
  when you are in a great state that you can play back to
• 0:55
  yourself when you are not in a great state.
• 0:58
  So let's say that we take morning, for example, morning is
• 1:02
  a really incredibly important time in setting the tone for
• 1:06
  your day. Because if your morning is
• 1:08
  messed up, then everything else tends to be going downhill from
• 1:13
  there because we stay in that state that we put ourselves in.
• 1:16
  So if we have an intense morning and that morning is just, you
• 1:22
  know, you wake up, there's a problem right away, you get an
• 1:24
  email, that's a problem, you have issues right away.
• 1:28
  That will be one of those times where you Instantaneously take
• 1:31
  that energy with you self into the next ACT.
• 1:35
  Whether it's getting the kids up, whether it's doing something
• 1:37
  else instantaneously. You have that going with you and
• 1:42
  oftentimes it's really, really hard to shift it because you're
• 1:47
  you're stuck, is essentially you're stuck in that moment.
• 1:50
  You're like frozen, if you will emotionally because you're not
• 1:56
  paying attention, that's the very first thing.
• 1:58
  When you wake up, typically we're just in Go mode and we're
• 2:01
  saying, what have I got to get done today and we've some of us
• 2:04
  make our to-do lists in the morning.
• 2:06
  Some of us make our to-do list in the after, you know,
• 2:10
  afternoon late in the day before.
• 2:13
  So we have it when we wake up, but most of us tend to wake up
• 2:17
  and were only thinking about what we have to do.
• 2:19
  We're not thinking about any of the other stuff to take care of
• 2:22
  ourselves. We just focused on this little
• 2:24
  tiny piece of, you know, get to get going.
• 2:27
  Got to get going. I got a lot to do today.
• 2:29
  Can't tell you how many Times I myself will say okay I got a lot
• 2:33
  to do today but the problem is if I'm only focused on what I
• 2:37
  have to do, I'm not focused on who I'm being.
• 2:41
  So having these little recordings to myself really
• 2:45
  helped me. So if I have if you if you have
• 2:49
  any sort of phone, that's not from, you know, 1802 you can
• 2:55
  open it up and in your utilities, you have a voice
• 2:59
  text. App.
• 3:01
  And this is exactly how I record the podcast.
• 3:05
  Believe it or not, I use my voice text so much.
• 3:08
  I found that it was super easy, just to use it for the podcast
• 3:11
  to. So I come I have a whole series
• 3:15
  of little ones that stay in my phone that are just messages to
• 3:20
  myself that I use. So if I'm off, if I'm off track,
• 3:25
  if I'm off base, if I'm not tracking in a way that I want to
• 3:30
  of my Is going downhill. If I'm feeling frustrated if I'm
• 3:34
  in between sessions, if people coach with me they know I am I
• 3:38
  keep my sessions really tight because I like to stay in flow
• 3:42
  and in mode, I don't I don't like to take breaks actually
• 3:45
  because it throws me off. And then I can't, you know, I'm
• 3:47
  so in the moment I can't get back into flow quickly.
• 3:51
  So I like to keep it pretty tight.
• 3:54
  But if I've got a couple seconds in between her, if I've had a
• 3:56
  session where it's been very emotional with a client, I have
• 3:59
  a message. Judge in my voice memos where I
• 4:03
  can listen to myself, talk to myself and give myself a pep
• 4:07
  talk. If you will a feedback,
• 4:10
  something to focus on instead of what I have been focusing on,
• 4:13
  and I can't begin to tell you the magic it creates, because it
• 4:16
  shifts you right away. Another piece of the puzzle is
• 4:20
  that your brain is wired to believe your voice to be true.
• 4:24
  So, when you're talking to yourself, whether it's good or
• 4:27
  bad, whether it's positive, or negative, your brain, Leaves
• 4:30
  you. So when you say, oh God, I'm so
• 4:32
  frustrated. I'm so stupid.
• 4:34
  Even if you just say this in your head, your brain believes
• 4:37
  that to be true. That's why it's so hard to shift
• 4:39
  out of things. And the Beautiful Thing is also
• 4:44
  believes it in reverse. So if you're able to record
• 4:47
  messages to yourself, when you are feeling good and you know
• 4:53
  you're in a great state and you talk to yourself, then all of a
• 4:56
  sudden you listen to that message and it changes
• 4:59
  everything. So I'll Give you an example.
• 5:01
  If you're a parent and you're you get frustrated with your
• 5:04
  kids and you know that you have certain hot-button issues like
• 5:09
  homework. That's always a gnome.
• 5:12
  Something in our house that triggers things.
• 5:15
  You can have a little message that you record to yourself and
• 5:18
  you can talk about that and say, like, let's say your name is
• 5:20
  Sally. You can say, hey, Sally, listen,
• 5:24
  homework is going to start in about 30 minutes, you know that
• 5:27
  this is going to be awesome if you stay And focused.
• 5:31
  So I want you to go in there, I want you to be super centered, I
• 5:34
  want you to be calm. I want you to have the snacks,
• 5:37
  ready. Pencil sharpened, sit down put
• 5:39
  on good music for the kids to listen to, and get everything in
• 5:42
  the way that they, you know, they can Thrive and you can
• 5:45
  Thrive. And remember, take the high
• 5:48
  road. Stay calm.
• 5:49
  No yelling give yourself this little, this little thing, and
• 5:53
  then play it beforehand. When you're talking to yourself,
• 5:56
  you actually, listen. I have them for all different
• 5:58
  things in my phone. I have them for like, He said in
• 6:00
  between sessions, I have them for things.
• 6:02
  If I'm irritated with my husband, I can go and listen to
• 6:05
  one that I have talking to me about all the things.
• 6:08
  I love about him and instantaneously it reminds me
• 6:13
  and puts me in a state of letting go of whatever stupid
• 6:16
  thing happened, that we might be arguing about, and then I can
• 6:19
  easily go right back to feeling great.
• 6:22
  So today, I would like you to make some recordings for
• 6:26
  yourself that you can listen to. And that morning recording is I
• 6:30
  believe the most important of all of them.
• 6:32
  So when you get up, you can talk to yourself.
• 6:34
  And say, I'm out here starting my day, strong, and I'm focused
• 6:40
  because I listened to my morning recording.
• 6:42
  That told me when I wake up, hey, Kim, you just got out of
• 6:45
  bed. It's time to get into that.
• 6:47
  Right State of Mind. Remember you're focused on
• 6:49
  effortless abundance, you're focused on being the best
• 6:52
  person. You can be and kindness,
• 6:54
  happiness, love and joy. That's one of mine by the way,
• 6:57
  in case you're interested, so I can listen.
• 7:00
  Into that and I can listen to it over and over and over again.
• 7:03
  If I need to you can make them as short as you want.
• 7:05
  As long as you want, just make them, make them, go do it today.
• 7:09
  Make yourself one, just try one and see how it works.
• 7:12
  All right guys, I hope you have a great day and I will see you
• 7:14
  tomorrow. Bye.
