- 0:20Favorite happy places for chicken coop, along with all her
- 0:23chickens. Hey everybody.
- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30Poop. So today we are talking about
- 0:34allowing others to steal your joy and make you question your
- 0:40very existence. I can't get over how easy we
- 0:45give up our power to other people when we think they don't
- 0:49like us. And they just make us feel badly
- 0:52about who we are, how we show up because they all of a sudden are
- 0:58not okay with us, we say okay there must be Nothing wrong with
- 1:01me and I really want to stress this when you do this to
- 1:07yourself, when you choose to allow someone else to get in
- 1:11your head and make you question, your value of who you are as a
- 1:15person or what you bring to the table, you are questioning God's
- 1:21work. And I have to put it that way.
- 1:23You are questioning the work of the universe because the
- 1:26universe doesn't make garbage, God doesn't make garbage and you
- 1:29are not garbage. So when someone else says things
- 1:32to you or makes you feel a certain way or ignores you puts
- 1:36you in a place where you feel like you are just being shut out
- 1:39of their lives and you weren't prepared for that.
- 1:42That is not about you that is about them, that is about how
- 1:47they show up and you know the famous term right now is
- 1:51gaslighting them, telling people things and making people feel
- 1:54less than and it all just comes down to mass manipulation and
- 1:57someone who's probably very very Sick in their own mind and their
- 2:02own psyche. And using a technique of saying
- 2:05well I'm just going to make you feel less than than it, then it
- 2:08puts me you into a submissive position then you try to make me
- 2:11feel better and then I win but you give up everything about
- 2:15your power, you give up who you are as a human being and all the
- 2:19greatness and creative stuff that God put into you that the
- 2:22Universe poured into you. It is absolutely not.
- 2:27Okay. To make a choice and say I'm
- 2:29going to do that to myself and put myself down.
- 2:33And when you do it, it's really hard to climb back out of that
- 2:36hole. And that hole is not meant for
- 2:39you. That whole is a place where you
- 2:42have to bury what they've said to you in the hole and move on.
- 2:46Say, you know what? I'm going to take all this
- 2:48garbage that they give it to me. I'm going to put it in this
- 2:50hole. I'm going to put the dirt on top
- 2:51of it, and I'm going to move the hell on.
- 2:54People like that in my world. I don't look at it.
- 2:59Like, okay, this is just something that happened by
- 3:02happenstance. I don't have to listen to it.
- 3:05I look at it and I say, this is teaching me who I never want to
- 3:08be. I never want to do that to
- 3:10another person. I also look at it, like, okay,
- 3:13if there's something in this that I can learn, then it's
- 3:16going to be that. I am obviously not appreciating
- 3:18myself and what I bring to the table Enough by having this
- 3:22person in my life, because I don't need to play that way.
- 3:26I would rather be alone with myself, my connection to the
- 3:31universe, my animals, whatever. Then to put myself in a position
- 3:34where I let somebody bring me down to a level, that makes me
- 3:39question my existence or how I am and how I show up and it
- 3:43teaches us. These are moments that are
- 3:45incredibly important to teach us that we have to value our selves
- 3:52and it's not about turning into a braggadocio A pain in the ass.
- 3:55It's not about going out there and saying I'm great, I'm great,
- 3:58I'm great. Every two seconds, it's about
- 4:01having this presence, it's about stepping into your power and
- 4:05having presence in the process of it.
- 4:07You know, you guys often hear me talk about the fact that I have
- 4:12this relationship with my chickens.
- 4:13Obviously, I'm in the chicken coop shooting the podcast but
- 4:16this is something that's really interesting.
- 4:18Because there's always like one or two hens that are in charge.
- 4:21No matter how many times you have you always have like one or
- 4:23two that are very Charge, and for me, that's Dottie and Amelia
- 4:27and the two of them have presence.
- 4:29And when they show up, they walk in.
- 4:32And it's not like they have to be mean.
- 4:34It's not like they go after anybody.
- 4:36It's nothing. They just walk in and all the
- 4:38other hands are like, oh, okay. Here they are.
- 4:42And I've watched this so many times and I always try to put my
- 4:45finger on it, like what is it about them?
- 4:48And it's nothing more than their energy.
- 4:50It's how they are different with, what they do.
- 4:53It's how they show up. And it's the same thing with
- 4:55humans. It's like you don't have to go
- 4:58in and be a bully. You don't have to go in and be
- 5:00nuts. You don't have to go in and be
- 5:02flamboyant, you just have to have that presence and that
- 5:06stops other people from running you over.
- 5:08And if someone does try to run you over, that's when you back
- 5:11up and say, you know what the lesson in this is, you are not
- 5:15good for my life. I bless you.
- 5:17I wish you well and I'm moving on.
- 5:20So, treat yourself kindly please.
- 5:23Look at this. Don't devalue yourself.
- 5:27Expect the best for yourself and choose good things.
- 5:31I hope this was helpful and I hope you guys have an amazingly
- 5:34blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
- 5:36Bye.
