• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So today is #7 in our energy and
• 0:35
  how to keep it up kind of weak. Kind of been going through this
• 0:39
  whole thought process about energy and what we need to do in
• 0:43
  order to take care of ourselves and maintain higher energy.
• 0:46
  And today, it's about mindset. So if you believe that, you have
• 0:53
  the ability to be a positive person.
• 0:56
  And that you like to approach things in a positive way and
• 0:59
  that you're full of energy, then you will have the ability to
• 1:04
  create that. And if you believe that you're
• 1:07
  just down and out, tired, negative, and you don't have
• 1:13
  enough time to do everything that you want to do, all of a
• 1:16
  sudden you're going to have a mindset that's going to put you
• 1:19
  there. Because the mindset is just a
• 1:24
  structure, if you will. That all of these emotions and
• 1:27
  patterns run on. So if you call on it and you
• 1:29
  bring it up, it will, it will give you exactly what you're
• 1:33
  asking for. So having a positive mindset
• 1:37
  about your energy and what you can do and what you can
• 1:40
  accomplish takes work. Trust me, it takes a lot of
• 1:45
  work. I have been in my life.
• 1:49
  Really ridiculed for the amount of energy that I bring to things
• 1:53
  people have said, oh, you just don't sit still.
• 1:55
  Oh, it's too much. Da da da da da da.
• 1:57
  I've heard it my whole life and you're pouring too much into it.
• 2:02
  And I always love when people try to tell you those things
• 2:05
  because it just shows me that they won.
• 2:08
  They're not looking at whether I'm happy or not, they're just
• 2:11
  looking at me compared to them. So really think about that for a
• 2:14
  second. What I just said when someone's
• 2:16
  ridiculing you and they're telling you something.
• 2:19
  You have to ask yourself, am I happy?
• 2:21
  Am I happy being that way? I'm happy being this way.
• 2:24
  I love to have lots of projects. I love to have my hands in the
• 2:29
  dirt. I love to be painting.
• 2:30
  I love to be doing recordings, writing.
• 2:33
  I love all of it. I love to go hiking and taking
• 2:37
  pictures. And you, you name it, it's and
• 2:40
  So why does it? If it's making me happy, why
• 2:42
  does it bother everybody else? And that is a comparison to
• 2:46
  where they are with their own mindset.
• 2:49
  Once you recognize they're not judging you for you, they're
• 2:53
  judging you against them, it changes how you can see them in
• 2:57
  the world, and then you don't get quite so hooked by them and
• 3:00
  it doesn't. It might sting, but it's not
• 3:03
  going to break you. And I think that having that
• 3:07
  ability to be able to discern what's really happening in those
• 3:11
  moments builds A healthier mindset overall.
• 3:15
  And then you you can really choose to be a positive growth
• 3:20
  minded mindset person. Now overall, I think most of us
• 3:26
  want to believe we are positive growth minded people and when
• 3:30
  asked most people will say I'm positive, but you have to ask
• 3:34
  yourself in an honest way, am I positive and am I living in a
• 3:38
  positive way? Is it just a thought I have or
• 3:41
  am I actually acting into my my sense of am I positive?
• 3:45
  Do I see the world a certain way, half empty, half full, or,
• 3:50
  you know, at least I have a glass?
• 3:52
  That was the kind of thing that I learned from my dad.
• 3:55
  He had such a great mindset around things and he he was not
• 3:58
  he. He had a heart attack early on
• 4:00
  in his life when he was 42 and he passed away when he was 57.
• 4:06
  Very young, Very sad that I lost him so early.
• 4:09
  And I can still hear him saying to me, when he was going through
• 4:13
  all kinds of treatments for all kinds of things that were wrong
• 4:16
  with him, I would say how you doing?
• 4:19
  And he would say, well, I'm not pissing in a bag.
• 4:22
  And that was exactly how he would say it.
• 4:24
  And I was like, OK, and he meant that as a good thing.
• 4:28
  It's a great day when I don't piss in a bag and I'm like, I
• 4:32
  understand. And he just had this.
• 4:35
  Really. Big zest for life.
• 4:38
  He was never sitting still either.
• 4:40
  So I know where I got it from. And I know for a fact that that
• 4:46
  watching him have that ability to say those things and look at
• 4:49
  the, you know, brighter side, if you will, really embodied into
• 4:55
  me. And I appreciate that.
• 4:56
  And it was a part of an aspect of him that I'm very grateful
• 4:59
  that I got. And I will say this, it doesn't
• 5:02
  stay with us unless we work on it.
• 5:06
  So if you're not working daily on this positive side of
• 5:10
  yourself, if you're not doing things like it's great that
• 5:13
  you're here and it's great that you're listening to this, but
• 5:16
  I'm going to challenge you to do things throughout the day in
• 5:18
  addition to this. This might be setting your day
• 5:20
  up, but I really want you to do it like throughout the day.
• 5:23
  Like I do. Pick up a book throughout the
• 5:25
  day. Read a couple pages here and
• 5:27
  there. Tell yourself that you are
• 5:30
  happy. You know, even if you're not,
• 5:32
  just think the word happy and all of a sudden happy starts to
• 5:35
  have a bigger place in your life.
• 5:37
  You don't have to say I am happy if you're not happy.
• 5:40
  You can just start by simply saying happy, happy and just
• 5:43
  walk around and say the word to give your brain a chance to
• 5:46
  associate to it. You can do that with pretty much
• 5:48
  any word as well. Like if you want to embody being
• 5:52
  wealthier you can just start thinking about wealth.
• 5:55
  You don't have to say I'm wealthy.
• 5:56
  If you feel uncomfortable with it, you can just start off by
• 5:59
  saying wealth. Again, all things to build a
• 6:02
  positive mindset and keep it going.
• 6:05
  But obviously if you're here, I believe you want to have a more
• 6:09
  positive mindset and keep on track.
• 6:11
  So you know, figure out what those little pieces are that
• 6:15
  you're doing throughout the day that are taking you out of that
• 6:19
  positive place and then slide something else in to put you in
• 6:23
  the positive place. It could be listening to
• 6:25
  audibles. It could be, you know, I take
• 6:28
  Play DoH breaks all the time where I'm just playing with Play
• 6:30
  DoH because it makes me feel good and immediately puts me
• 6:34
  into a great state. So figure out if you need the
• 6:39
  auditory, the visual, the kinesthetic pieces of it,
• 6:41
  meaning your reading, your hearing, your touching, you're
• 6:45
  seeing whatever it might be. Set yourself up to win and start
• 6:48
  that practice regularly and you'll start to see it shift
• 6:52
  immediately. It's a it.
• 6:53
  It is not the hardest thing in the world to see little tiny
• 6:57
  things showing up. You just have to acknowledge
• 6:59
  that they're there and be grateful for them.
• 7:02
  OK my friends, I will see you tomorrow and I hope you have a
• 7:05
  blessed day. Bye.
