  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So, today, we are talking about mantras and how they can turn
• 0:36
  your life around, how they can truly reprogram you.
• 0:39
  And, and that's the big thing that's so exciting about it.
• 0:42
  Is that words program us as human beings words matter, and
• 0:47
  the meaning we give to the matters and mantras are the the
• 0:51
  essence of it. So, let me give you a quick
• 0:54
  explanation to me. A mantra is something that's
• 0:57
  sacred. It's something that we hold to
• 0:59
  be very In our hearts and our soul and we repeat it and we
• 1:05
  have emotion behind it and we fuel it that way as opposed to
• 1:10
  it like an affirmation to me. It's something affirmations
• 1:13
  don't hold as much power in my head because I'm just going to
• 1:16
  say the same thing over and over and over again, but I might not
• 1:20
  have that sacred part of it. So while some people say they're
• 1:23
  the same thing and if that's okay if you believe that for me,
• 1:26
  they're just not I think a mantra is more sacred in my
• 1:29
  brain. And that's why I want to teach
• 1:32
  you that language because I think it matters.
• 1:34
  So if in fact you need a different word, that's okay,
• 1:37
  figure out what your word is but for me it's Mantra and that's
• 1:40
  what I like to teach. So today we're going to talk
• 1:42
  about creating some powerful mantras for yourself.
• 1:45
  And everyone always asks like well where do I begin?
• 1:48
  And I think I think an important distinction to remember with
• 1:52
  this is that you can create these however you want.
• 1:56
  This is your perfect world, we're talking about, you can
• 1:59
  focus your mom. Is on your character, you can
• 2:02
  focus them on things that you want to create in your life.
• 2:05
  You can focus on pretty much anything out there that you can
• 2:10
  put into words. You can put it into a mantra.
• 2:15
  The key here is to keep it simple.
• 2:17
  Keep them incredibly simple, keep them focused and allow
• 2:22
  yourself to create ones that you can actually believe and
• 2:27
  quote-unquote by into. Because the biggest problem that
• 2:30
  people People have when they create mantras is that they will
• 2:33
  write them and they won't they don't believe them and they make
• 2:37
  them so big that they're so hard for their brain to assimilate
• 2:41
  because they're so far from that outcome.
• 2:43
  So let's use a money one for example.
• 2:45
  So if somebody comes and they say I want to, you know, be a
• 2:49
  millionaire, big goal. If they're not even close to it
• 2:52
  and they're focused on it and their brain immediately starts
• 2:55
  to argue with them. Behind the scenes you might walk
• 2:57
  around and say, I'm a millionaire, I'm a millionaire,
• 2:59
  I'm millionaire But your brain is like, yeah I just don't buy
• 3:03
  it and you can feel it in your bones.
• 3:05
  You can feel the fact that your brain is resisting.
• 3:08
  Like I don't know how to get there.
• 3:09
  I don't know how to get there because our brains, always shift
• 3:11
  to that, how peace and as soon as our brain shifts to the how
• 3:13
  piece basically you're screwed. You're not going to be able to
• 3:17
  figure out the the peaceful path of focusing on the Mantra
• 3:21
  because of course your brain keeps looping around the house.
• 3:25
  So the key to this is creating mantras that You, you intently,
• 3:32
  emotionally feel connected to and that you really want to move
• 3:37
  into as well as the willingness to create them with language,
• 3:42
  that makes them feel possible the language has to make them
• 3:46
  feel possible. So the way I would describe this
• 3:50
  is something like if you want to be a millionaire.
• 3:52
  Instead of saying to yourself, I'm a millionaire, I'm a
• 3:56
  millionaire, I'm a millionaire. You might say, the Joseph Murphy
• 4:00
  has Perfect. One effortless, abundance flows
• 4:02
  to me and health wealth and success.
• 4:05
  Now that phrase, which comes from the book, how to attract
• 4:09
  money by dr. Joseph Murphy that was written.
• 4:11
  Close to 100 years ago, that phrase the brain can assimilate
• 4:18
  to because it's not a number. But we're talking about
• 4:20
  effortless abundance and I love that.
• 4:23
  That's one of my most favorite ones.
• 4:25
  In fact, I highly recommend if you have not listened to that
• 4:28
  book or read that book at any point in time.
• 4:30
  I'm grab it, do it because he talks about the power of the
• 4:35
  exactly what we're talking about.
• 4:37
  And it to me mantras are something that I do personally,
• 4:42
  every day they are written in my journal.
• 4:46
  I read them, I have them actually recorded in my phone in
• 4:52
  voice memos and I can listen to myself.
• 4:54
  Now, the trick to that one is, please make sure that you record
• 4:57
  yourself when you're upbeat, I don't want you to sound
• 4:59
  depressed. And listening to your mantras
• 5:02
  and being depressed in that voice.
• 5:04
  If you're doing it all serious, is not going to help you with
• 5:06
  just going to perpetuate the problem that you have.
• 5:09
  So you you need to do it in an upbeat strong voice, and you
• 5:14
  need to listen to them as many times as you can today.
• 5:17
  You need to write them as many times as you can and day, you
• 5:19
  need to read them as many times as you can add a because that
• 5:22
  will keep you on point and there you can't overdose on them as
• 5:27
  the point the more you do them, the better they get.
• 5:29
  So Practice this and practice them in levels, you know it's
• 5:34
  okay to work them and change them over time.
• 5:38
  Sometimes people will say, oh my gosh, you know I did this and I
• 5:44
  I don't feel as though I can go back and change it.
• 5:46
  I set it in stone. No, this is all flexible.
• 5:50
  You can change them if they don't feel right shift it make
• 5:54
  it so that it's comfortable and remember, it's your little
• 5:57
  world. You can change this as much as
• 5:59
  you need to. So, So, cultivate it the best
• 6:02
  way you can for yourself and practice, practice, practice.
• 6:06
  And like I said, you know, do ones that mean something to you
• 6:11
  have them have a meaning, if they don't have a meaning,
• 6:15
  you're not going to work towards it.
• 6:16
  So it's got to be important to you.
• 6:18
  Okay, my friends, I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:20
  I hopefully this was helpful and get at it right away, work on it
• 6:25
  today. Bye-bye.
