  You could ever imagine join Kim every morning from one of her.
• 0:20
  Favorite happy places her chicken coop, along with all her
• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the Torch of, and not the very rainy.
• 0:33
  Pouring hard Chicken Coop. Yes, it's pouring again.
• 0:37
  So we're stuck in kind of a weather pattern and that made me
• 0:41
  start to think about how people get stuck in their patterns and
• 0:45
  figured. All right, let's talk about that
• 0:47
  because it's such an important part of recognizing, when you
• 0:51
  are stuck in a pattern, you know, it's easy, when it's the
• 0:55
  weather to see it every day and it's like, oh, there's rain up,
• 0:58
  there is rain. Oh, there is No up there snow
• 1:02
  again but it's not so easy to see it when you are in an
• 1:07
  emotional pattern. It's very difficult unless
• 1:10
  someone's helping you see it? You really can't often notice it
• 1:15
  but you'll feel it. You might not notice your
• 1:17
  reactions to things or out of line, but you'll feel it, you'll
• 1:21
  feel off. You'll feel like you are
• 1:24
  experiencing Groundhog Day. Same day over and over.
• 1:27
  For those of you who haven't seen the movie Groundhog Day,
• 1:30
  It's the same day over and over every day, he wakes up in the
• 1:34
  same choices are available to him.
• 1:36
  And it's actually really quite a fascinating movie, Bill Murray,
• 1:39
  if you haven't seen it, check it out.
• 1:42
  But needless to say, when you're in this emotional pattern, when
• 1:45
  you're stuck in this emotional pattern, sometimes it's so deep
• 1:51
  that you don't even see it. You don't even see your
• 1:54
  triggers. You don't see the way out.
• 1:57
  You don't see much about it. All you see and recognize is.
• 2:01
  It sucks or it's overwhelming and the big emotions start to
• 2:06
  show up with it. But remember, emotions are here
• 2:09
  to help us. They're here to help us figure
• 2:11
  our way out of things that are here to help us make things
• 2:14
  better. That contrary to popular belief,
• 2:16
  they are not here to destroy us are here to help us.
• 2:19
  So when you start to use them as a guiding force, instead of the,
• 2:24
  you know, proverbial, they are a pain in the ass and I can't
• 2:27
  stand this, you can figure things out.
• 2:30
  Out. But you have to be timely with
• 2:32
  it, and you have to be consistent with it and you have
• 2:35
  to notice it. So when you are in a pattern,
• 2:39
  the very first thing is the Discovery process of this.
• 2:42
  You know, what's going on? What am I feeling?
• 2:45
  And you know, what is it trying to tell me?
• 2:49
  What is this emotion trying to tell me debrief yourself?
• 2:52
  See if you can figure it out and I can assure you.
• 2:55
  The answer is not that you are stupid.
• 2:57
  So when you say, oh, it's teaching me that I'm dumb.
• 3:00
  Nah That's not the case you're choosing to have that
• 3:03
  interpretation because just like everything else in the world.
• 3:07
  There are many interpretations of it, many, many, many
• 3:10
  interpretations can come down. So it's figuring out.
• 3:14
  What interpretation serves you not?
• 3:17
  What will hurt you and if you're in a place of it, just hurting
• 3:21
  you, you're probably choosing the wrong interpretation because
• 3:25
  beating yourself up is usually not the right one.
• 3:28
  So thinking about, Out, you know, that that point of saying,
• 3:33
  okay, discover what it's trying to teach you, do the best you
• 3:36
  can with that piece. But usually, when you keep
• 3:38
  asking the question, what information are you trying to
• 3:41
  give me? What are you trying to teach me?
• 3:44
  What are you trying to provide to me?
• 3:45
  If you ask those kind of questions, you will get some
• 3:47
  really great answers. Then you take that information
• 3:51
  and you say, okay, now that I have this information in my
• 3:55
  hand, I want to change the way I view this situation.
• 4:01
  Is there another way I can look at this?
• 4:03
  Is there another way I can feel about this?
• 4:06
  Is there. Another way I can interpret this
• 4:08
  in the answer is yes, but you have to change your point of
• 4:10
  view. Just like if you if you stand
• 4:13
  was a little exercise that you can do which I love doing these
• 4:16
  exercises because they help you understand those perspective, if
• 4:20
  you stand still and you face, let's say North, even if you
• 4:23
  don't know what direction, North is pick a spot and face there.
• 4:27
  Now you can see forward and if you have Full peripheral vision.
• 4:31
  You can see way to your left and way to your right, but it's
• 4:35
  limited. We're not owls.
• 4:37
  We can't see in the back of our head so we have to turn.
• 4:39
  So if you turn 15 degrees to your left and then you look,
• 4:44
  you've now changed your perspective.
• 4:46
  There's a whole new piece. Coming off to the side on the
• 4:49
  left and then you do the same thing again. 15 degrees.
• 4:53
  Boom! It's all changed again, 15
• 4:55
  degrees, boom! It's all changed again.
• 4:57
  And before you know it, you have created a We different view but
• 5:02
  that's by incrementally, changing your Vantage Point.
• 5:05
  So, when you do that with your possibilities of what this could
• 5:08
  mean, all of a sudden you now have a menu to choose from,
• 5:13
  about what something could mean to you.
• 5:16
  And that's the beginning of getting out of a pattern by
• 5:19
  changing what something could mean to you by changing the
• 5:23
  possibilities. So I'm going to challenge you to
• 5:28
  pull that up. Work on that, put that out there
• 5:32
  and get your head in the right place about it because there are
• 5:37
  infinite possibilities of what things could mean and feel like
• 5:40
  in a world filled with infinite possibilities, my friends.
• 5:44
  Okay, I hope that you guys have a very blessed day and I will
• 5:48
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
