  Favorite happy places for a chicken coop, along with all her
• 0:23
  chickens Hey everybody. Good morning from the very
• 0:29
  peaceful Chicken Coop. So today we're going to be
• 0:32
  talking about stress again and today we are talking about how
• 0:35
  to start eliminating things, how to start working around things,
• 0:39
  how to start seeing things differently.
• 0:42
  So one of the very first pieces of this puzzle is to recognize
• 0:48
  that your body as a whole hangs onto emotion and stress.
• 0:54
  We talked about that. Yesterday how eighty percent of
• 0:56
  doctors visits are related to stress because our bodies, hang
• 1:01
  on to it, our bodies functionally.
• 1:03
  We'll just hunker down in it and then all of a sudden we have
• 1:07
  high blood pressure. We have rapid heart rates.
• 1:10
  We have, I mean, even cancer is related back to it.
• 1:14
  There are statistics that talked about the fact that diabetes,
• 1:18
  cancer, heart disease, depression, all of this comes
• 1:22
  back to stress. And if we can work on these
• 1:26
  toxic levels of stress hormones that keep going off in our body
• 1:29
  and literally saturate, our bodies with this.
• 1:34
  Just insane amount of energy that doesn't need to be there.
• 1:39
  We can do something about it so we can be our best Advocates.
• 1:42
  But the very first thing we have to look at is our body itself
• 1:45
  because if our body itself is not taking, you know, you're not
• 1:50
  taking care of it, it's not a place where you can control any
• 1:54
  of this. So let's think for a second here
• 1:56
  about our we've heard over and over and over how our body is
• 1:59
  our Temple. I mean that I can't even begin
• 2:02
  to tell you how many times I heard my mother say that.
• 2:05
  But it is a something you have to cultivate.
• 2:07
  You're not just going to all of a sudden say oh okay, well I
• 2:13
  think my body's my temple. Therefore I'm going to be this
• 2:15
  way. You have to actually work on it
• 2:18
  and if you really want to free yourself from chronic illness
• 2:21
  and you want to free yourself from the the ex of stress, you
• 2:26
  really have to think about the physical aspects of it, so that
• 2:31
  you can live healthier. You can live in a healthier
• 2:36
  state of mind. You can just dwell in a better
• 2:39
  situation. Overall, where does that begin?
• 2:42
  Where does it essentially? Take place?
• 2:45
  Well, starts in your body. So think about the terms of how
• 2:50
  you feel about your body. Today.
• 2:51
  We're identifying, how do you feel about your body are Fan of
• 2:55
  your body. You know it sounds like a very
• 2:57
  simple question to say are you a fan of your body?
• 2:59
  But you'd be surprised how many people are not fans of their
• 3:02
  body. They'll say oh you know I mean
• 3:06
  II think I weigh too much. I think I have this.
• 3:09
  I think I have that and they don't, they don't appreciate all
• 3:12
  that their body does for them all day long and they don't
• 3:17
  acknowledge how grateful they are for their body.
• 3:20
  Therefore they don't have the mindset to care for it, they
• 3:24
  come Plain about it all my joints hurt.
• 3:26
  My back hurts. I have a stiff neck.
• 3:29
  Oh, I'm fat, I don't feel good. And, and they do this
• 3:32
  internally, they're not necessarily doing it externally.
• 3:35
  Although some people do complain about pain externally a lot.
• 3:39
  Most people don't, most people just kind of keep it to
• 3:43
  themselves. There are like you said, there
• 3:44
  are The Chronic complainers though.
• 3:46
  So, first things first, body-wise, let's take a look at
• 3:51
  how you feel about your body. Do you love it?
• 3:54
  Are you Grateful for it. Do you nourish it?
• 3:57
  Well, do you ask the client the other day?
• 4:00
  I said, he said he has chronic headaches and I said, well,
• 4:03
  let's take a look. First at how much water are you
• 4:05
  drinking? And he started laughing.
• 4:08
  And he's like, well, if it's part of coffee, then, yes.
• 4:11
  I'm drinking it. And I said, no, not part of
• 4:14
  coffee. I'm talking about in general.
• 4:17
  How much water do you drink? And he's like none.
• 4:20
  So here we are organic. Living being that thrives in
• 4:27
  water and he's not drinking any water.
• 4:29
  So what does that mean? For his cellular level?
• 4:32
  His lack of water, his lack of cellular level just is like
• 4:37
  insane, how his cells are suffering every moment.
• 4:41
  So on as from a cellular level up, doctors will tell us over
• 4:45
  and over and over again. This is a basic thing.
• 4:48
  You have to you know will say drink water, eat healthy, drink
• 4:52
  water, eat healthy. Get exercise.
• 4:54
  Simple things that are so complex for us as human beings.
• 4:59
  It is shameful how much we have allowed ourselves to not pay
• 5:04
  attention to those things. So today in this little, you
• 5:09
  know, which is turning out to be a little bit more of a breakdown
• 5:12
  of this whole process than I initially had thought.
• 5:14
  But we're going to go with it because that's what happens out
• 5:16
  in the chicken coop. You can't see my stress and
• 5:20
  helping yourself in a matter of just five minutes.
• 5:23
  So we are going to break. Down.
• 5:24
  So today, we're talking strictly about helping your body, you are
• 5:29
  going to go out and you're going to look at how much water am I
• 5:31
  drinking? Sincerely, be honest with
• 5:33
  yourself. If you lie to yourself about
• 5:35
  this stuff, you can't get better.
• 5:36
  So you look at how much water you're drinking, and you say,
• 5:39
  okay, I definitely need to increase my water intake, and I
• 5:42
  need to decrease whatever you need to decrease whether that
• 5:45
  be, you know, alcohol intake, whether it be coffee intake,
• 5:49
  whether it be tea, and take, whatever it might be soda.
• 5:53
  Oh, good. Lord.
• 5:53
  Look at how much Sugar, you're taking into your body because
• 5:57
  sugar is one of the most addictive substances we have on
• 6:00
  this planet. And if you're taking in a ton of
• 6:02
  sugar, that's not good for your cells and that's not good for
• 6:05
  your state of stress. And it causes more disagrees,
• 6:09
  you know, the word disease dis ease.
• 6:11
  Think about that. So today, stop pause and think
• 6:16
  about your body. Are you am I working out?
• 6:19
  Am I at least walking am I getting in any steps?
• 6:22
  You know I have a my daughter is Is 27 years old, she works from
• 6:27
  her computer, all day long. I said to her just a couple
• 6:30
  weeks ago, how many steps are you getting in and day?
• 6:33
  She said, I don't know, I got her Fitbit, she puts it on, she
• 6:36
  comes back, she's like, oh my God, not even three thousand
• 6:38
  steps. I said, see, I told you you
• 6:41
  can't feel good if you're just sitting.
• 6:43
  So anybody who works with me knows I am the Mad mover.
• 6:47
  I don't sit still. I'm constantly moving I get
• 6:50
  between Seventeen twenty four thousand steps a day because I
• 6:55
  just can't stop moving and I know that seems like a lot, but
• 6:59
  I believe in movement in order to stay healthy, I believe that.
• 7:03
  That's part of it, that's part of caring for your body so you
• 7:06
  have to push it. In fact, I just saw a story
• 7:08
  yesterday about a woman in Maine who is 102 years old and she's
• 7:12
  still going out with her 79 year old son, who's a lobster
• 7:16
  fisherman to help him with this because she's done this since
• 7:19
  she was eight years old she started with her dad, she
• 7:22
  married a person who was a German.
• 7:25
  She her son is a lobsterman and she's still doing it at 102
• 7:29
  years old. And when they interviewed her
• 7:31
  she said, well, I'm just going to do this until I die and she
• 7:36
  said, if you sit still, you'll just die and she's not wrong.
• 7:40
  She's not wrong. So this whole theory of, oh, I
• 7:42
  gotta sit down. Oh, I got to do this.
• 7:44
  Sure, you got to rest, but you also gotta move and you gotta
• 7:48
  keep moving. So, look at you himself.
• 7:50
  How much it Movin. Are you getting in?
• 7:52
  And look at the what you're taking?
• 7:54
  Into your body as far as all those other toxins that are not
• 7:58
  healthy for you and then get it on paper because this is going
• 8:02
  to help us take you through this process of annihilating and
• 8:06
  getting it out of town. So track it, track it, track it
• 8:10
  and I will see you guys tomorrow.
• 8:12
  Bye.
