  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So the today's question, all the worrying that you've ever done,
• 0:34
  all of it, when you think back of it, has it ever been worth
• 0:37
  it? Has the worrying ever really
• 0:39
  served you? Has it ever given you anything
• 0:41
  that you could walk away with and say, wow, you know, that was
• 0:44
  worth all that time I spent worrying.
• 0:47
  I'm going to go with odds are no, because for my own reality
• 0:51
  and my own experience, most of the time when I spend time
• 0:55
  worrying about things, I walk back and say, well, I worried
• 0:59
  about that for nothing. You know, all that energy, all
• 1:01
  that time gone, didn't even need to worry about it.
• 1:05
  And I think that we have become so habitually conditioned to
• 1:10
  worry about things that we forget regularly.
• 1:14
  We forget regularly that that worry is supposed to be a short
• 1:19
  term burst. It's the difference between the
• 1:21
  sprinter and the marathoner, as I've talked about that before,
• 1:25
  The sprinter, you know, you can worry about it.
• 1:28
  You can just be like, OK, yeah, do I need to worry about this?
• 1:30
  Because the information is supposed to just help you get
• 1:32
  past anything you need to be concerned with.
• 1:35
  It's meant to give you information.
• 1:37
  But when you go into it long term and you really start
• 1:40
  digging in and you look at, OK, I'm just worrying about this day
• 1:44
  after day after day after day, all you're doing at that point
• 1:48
  in time is causing your chemistry and your body to
• 1:51
  shift. You're attracting your you're,
• 1:55
  you're forcing your energy to attract something you don't
• 1:57
  want. So you're end up attracting what
• 1:59
  you're worrying about. And then you say, oh, see, I
• 2:01
  knew that would happen. See, I knew it would happen.
• 2:04
  And we look and say, well, did it happen because it was going
• 2:09
  to happen? Or did it happen because I was
• 2:11
  so focused on it? And boy, oh boy, I'll tell you,
• 2:15
  I I have become more and more convinced over the years that I
• 2:19
  have been doing this work that it's the latter.
• 2:22
  It's the fact that we torture ourselves.
• 2:24
  We attract our own problems. We put our focus on all the
• 2:28
  things we don't want and we worry about them.
• 2:31
  And then all of a sudden they show up and then we say up, see,
• 2:35
  I knew it. Well, I'm going to go with the
• 2:37
  thought that no, that is not the case.
• 2:41
  We attract things and we have to take responsibility for it.
• 2:45
  We have to take responsibility for our emotions, what we talk
• 2:48
  about, what we put our energy to.
• 2:50
  And we need to shift away from the things we don't want because
• 2:53
  we are ultimately causing our own problems.
• 2:56
  And whether we like it or not, we have to be aware that we are
• 3:01
  self-contained, self responsible, and we need to own
• 3:04
  our thoughts, actions, feelings. Everything comes down to us.
• 3:09
  Every bit of it comes down to us.
• 3:12
  And regardless of what has been going on in your world, you can
• 3:17
  shift it by just changing your trajectory, by changing your
• 3:20
  thoughts and your emotions and being consistent.
• 3:23
  Moving away from the worry. The more you move away from the
• 3:26
  worry, the more you will progress in the right direction.
• 3:31
  Now, will this be instantaneous? Well, it could be.
• 3:33
  It depends on how strong the emotion to move away from it is.
• 3:36
  But for most people, it takes practice.
• 3:38
  And this is something that's the art, the art form of, you know,
• 3:43
  developing your character towards the things that you
• 3:46
  want, that positivity, that love, that gratitude, and
• 3:50
  staying in that state more consistently because the more
• 3:53
  you stay in it, the safer you are to have it be with you all
• 3:56
  the time. The more you jump out of it, the
• 3:59
  more you run the risk of it taking off on you.
• 4:03
  And there you go. You're right back to where you
• 4:05
  started. So just some food for thought
• 4:09
  with this, you might want to start your practice every day of
• 4:13
  saying to yourself, am I at least a minimum of three times a
• 4:16
  day? I would even go so far as to
• 4:18
  tell you to do more. I myself do this hourly, check
• 4:22
  in with my energy as to where am I right now?
• 4:25
  Am I on the right path? Did I have a moment where I went
• 4:27
  offline? Sure, I'm human, I still do
• 4:31
  that, everybody does. But you know, this is a great
• 4:34
  thing to remember, just like I always love to use the chickens
• 4:37
  as an example. They will have a fight among the
• 4:40
  ladies here because you can't put 39 chickens into one's, you
• 4:45
  know, farm. I mean, they have plenty of
• 4:47
  space, but they still have attitude as they free range even
• 4:50
  that they'll find something, one of them will run over, they'll
• 4:53
  get in a fight, someone will take something away from
• 4:56
  somebody and two seconds later they've forgotten it and they're
• 4:58
  totally fine. And if there's one thing about
• 5:01
  having a chicken brain that's a a value, it's that they don't
• 5:04
  remember the crap that happened. They don't they don't hang on to
• 5:08
  it. They don't, you know, they just
• 5:10
  don't sit there and have the fear of it.
• 5:12
  You can probably hear a hawk off in the distance as I'm talking
• 5:16
  today. And I have lost probably in the
• 5:20
  time I've had my chickens out here, about four chickens to
• 5:24
  Hawks. And it was before we realized
• 5:27
  some of the stuff that was preventing the the chickens from
• 5:32
  having enough hiding spaces because they free range.
• 5:35
  It was there were some things that we could do better.
• 5:37
  I mean, it's going to happen. It's Mother Nature and I
• 5:39
  recognize that. And they have the best chicken
• 5:41
  life they can while they have it.
• 5:43
  But one of the things I so admire about them is the fact
• 5:47
  that even though they've seen it happen, doesn't stop them from
• 5:50
  free ranging. As I'm talking to you right now,
• 5:52
  they are already out and they are digging in the Pines and
• 5:56
  they are going through all the pine needles and getting bugs.
• 5:59
  And they have a rooster who's watching over them.
• 6:02
  And they'll hear it and they'll check, but they don't let it
• 6:05
  stop them. And they have to have that kind
• 6:08
  of tenacity. You have to kind of have that
• 6:10
  make up. So when the worry takes you
• 6:12
  over, put it in check. Don't let it stop you.
• 6:15
  Make it give you the information you need, and then move on.
• 6:20
  I hope you guys have a very blessed day and I will see you
• 6:23
  tomorrow. And hopefully you have a chicken
• 6:25
  brain day where you just let it all go.
• 6:28
  All right, my friends, have a great one.
• 6:29
  Bye.
