- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30Boop, I want you all to know something, and this is a
- 0:33hardcore fact that in order to maintain your happiness moment,
- 0:39to moment, you actually have to work on it in order to maintain
- 0:43being a happy person, it requires maintenance, it
- 0:48requires a lot more than most people think about and in order
- 0:53to go out and thrive in this world and to really have some
- 0:57sort of you know, happiness that Stays with you, it takes
- 1:02cultivation, and it takes work. It takes putting a massive
- 1:06effort into it all it and it's it's definitely worth it.
- 1:11But when there's constant and never-ending energy in the world
- 1:16that comes at you, whether it's from family or friends or work,
- 1:19or whatever it might be, that is not necessarily the best energy
- 1:25because people are in there - states of mind, they're acting
- 1:28certain ways and doing certain things.
- 1:30It takes an effort, sometimes a gargantuan effort, it feels
- 1:34like, but if you believe at your core, you are a happy person.
- 1:41Then that's the resource. You have to go to people.
- 1:45Will question, okay, well, how do I maintain this?
- 1:49How do I keep it going? You know, at my core I feel
- 1:52happy but the day's drag me down.
- 1:54Things drag me down. That is normal.
- 1:57I mean, I can't stress that enough.
- 1:59That is an order. Normal state to have it just in
- 2:04this world, the way things come at you and the way we digest
- 2:07information, that's normal. It's hot.
- 2:10It's like, you feel like, oh, you feel like you have to take a
- 2:13shower from some of the stuff that has happened in that you
- 2:15want to wash it off yourself. But the reality is, you know
- 2:19what, you're not wrong in that and you do have to work at it.
- 2:24So part of this whole chicken coop, situation is me.
- 2:30Having a happy place is me having something that I know
- 2:35when I come out here brings me joy, gardening, same thing.
- 2:40You constantly cultivating Joy you come out, you see flowers,
- 2:43you see things growing, you see vegetables that you, you know,
- 2:47put in the ground, you've sewn the vegetables.
- 2:49Now, all of a sudden, you're a reaping, the benefits of it.
- 2:52Those things all bring high levels of happiness and joy, to
- 2:56me. So, it is a Activation.
- 3:01It is a constant effort to put in and say I'm getting this out
- 3:05of it. And you need to prepare yourself
- 3:09to have this, your something that's like that.
- 3:12So ask yourself am I do I have my something that helps me with
- 3:17these things and doesn't have to be a big project like my
- 3:20projects turn out to be. It can be something simple, it
- 3:24can just be crocheting, it can be knitting, it could be
- 3:28painting, it could be playing cards, it could be just sitting,
- 3:31my husband gets so much joy out of sitting and watching fish in
- 3:35the fish tanks are in the I pawned that we have here on the
- 3:39property and feeds the catfish. And he gets so much joy out of
- 3:44like creating something with them.
- 3:46And I will tell you that those little moments of joy and
- 3:51happiness, tap into your core happiness and joy and fill it
- 3:56back up. Now, the trick to this the
- 3:59flipside trick to, this is to stop taking in all the toxicity.
- 4:04So there is so much toxicity. In this world right now and not
- 4:10taking it in is key. So how do you do that?
- 4:13How do you not take it in? Well, first of all, you
- 4:16recognize that you've got a shot off the news past finding out
- 4:20the weather or pass finding out something that you might need
- 4:24specifically locally. Shut it off.
- 4:27It's not going to make a difference.
- 4:28If something major happens you'll hear about it but it is
- 4:31going to make a difference to your heart to not have that
- 4:35there that is. Absolutely key.
- 4:39You can't keep taking it in and saying to yourself.
- 4:42Oh yeah, this is, this is something that I really want to
- 4:45be a part of and feeling joy and happiness.
- 4:48It just doesn't work, so you have to make your choices.
- 4:51You have to decide what's the right thing to do.
- 4:53And for me, I don't take it in. I just refuse to take it in
- 4:57because it's unhealthy, so shut it off to.
- 5:01You have to say, to yourself, the people around you that are
- 5:04being - you have to realize they Are where they are and you
- 5:08choose not to tap into that negativity.
- 5:10So you just shut it down. You just say to yourself.
- 5:13I'm not taking this in from these negative people.
- 5:16I wish them. Well, I hope they find what
- 5:18they're looking for. I'm not taking that in and
- 5:21three. You set yourself in up into
- 5:23situations, where, you know, you are going to cultivate yourself
- 5:28and fill back up like all the Hobbies.
- 5:30So, when you work at these things, when you really push
- 5:34into this and you say, I'm cultivating my happiness.
- 5:39That's at my core. You will feel it more regularly
- 5:43so I hope you tap into your happiness today.
- 5:45I already have doing this for you and being with the chickens
- 5:48and I will see you tomorrow. Have a blessed one guys.
- 5:52Bye.
