  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:32
  So if you hear some weird noises in the background other than
• 0:35
  Raven screaming, my neighbor has some goats that are really giant
• 0:39
  and they make this very strange sound that are like that.
• 0:44
  If you could hear that, it's woo woo.
• 0:48
  It sounds like somebody trying to call somebody but it's just a
• 0:51
  bunch of male goats that he rescued and they make me laugh
• 0:54
  every time they go off doing it. So anyway, OK.
• 0:59
  What energy do you want? Simple question.
• 1:02
  What energy do you want? And I'm not just talking about
• 1:05
  to be filled with energy to do things.
• 1:07
  What energy do you want in your body?
• 1:10
  What is the energy that you want to operate with?
• 1:14
  What fuel are you putting in the bus?
• 1:16
  That is the tricky question. So when you go to get gas and
• 1:20
  you go to gas up your vehicle, there are all different things
• 1:24
  that you can gas it up with. And if you drive an electric
• 1:26
  vehicle, you're plugging in. But if you go and you, you know,
• 1:28
  you've got your different choices, You've got ethanol, not
• 1:31
  ethanol. You know, you're 878993 or
• 1:35
  whatever it is. Yeah, I don't get that one,
• 1:38
  obviously, but we're always looking at that and we're
• 1:42
  saying, oh, this is fantastic, right?
• 1:44
  I can go and choose the one I want and then you pay the price
• 1:47
  for the one that you choose. And here's an interesting thing
• 1:49
  to think about it if you've never heard this before.
• 1:52
  I know because I've had this happen.
• 1:54
  Sometimes you have to put dry gas in your car.
• 1:57
  And my dad used to talk to me about this all the time because
• 2:00
  I lived in New England growing up.
• 2:01
  And he would say we have to put dry gas in at least once every
• 2:04
  winter because the crystals in the gasoline cause problems if
• 2:08
  they're water crystals in there. And it can cause, you know,
• 2:11
  really bad issues in the winter. So you have to put a can of dry
• 2:16
  gas in to make sure. I'm like dry gas makes no sense
• 2:19
  to me whatever, and I just used to chalk it up as a kid.
• 2:22
  But I love using this as a metaphor because of the bus and
• 2:25
  everything else. But when you think about it.
• 2:27
  You have to fuel your bus every day.
• 2:29
  You have to decide what am I putting in?
• 2:31
  Am I putting in high octane? Am I putting in low octane?
• 2:35
  Am I putting in the dry gas to make sure the crystals don't
• 2:38
  trip me up? Am I putting in things that are
• 2:41
  going to serve me? Am I?
• 2:43
  If I'm electric, am I plugging in and?
• 2:46
  The truth is, this is such a great reminder about how you're
• 2:51
  fueling yourself. And it's not just with the, you
• 2:55
  know, the actual food you eat to fuel yourself, although that
• 2:59
  matters hugely, and I'm a huge, huge food freak.
• 3:02
  However, this is not about food today and, you know, honestly.
• 3:07
  One of my other clients handled that.
• 3:09
  If none of you know any, if any of you are looking for a really
• 3:12
  great program and she is not paying for me to say this, but
• 3:15
  Phil knows food.com. Go check her out.
• 3:18
  She's amazing and she can handle some stuff for you that would be
• 3:22
  like unbelievable. So huge shout out to Phil this
• 3:25
  morning. Phil knows food.
• 3:26
  Hit her up on philknowsfood.com. But anyway, that's a one section
• 3:30
  of fuel. But we're not talking about that
• 3:32
  today. What we're talking about is the
• 3:33
  thoughts and the emotions that fuel us because they are the
• 3:37
  ones that you want to put into that energy.
• 3:40
  So when you start to think about those as energy, your thoughts
• 3:44
  and emotions are the energy. They create a certain feeling
• 3:47
  and that's the energy. So if you get sluggish, you're
• 3:50
  probably putting in really not so healthy thoughts, just like
• 3:55
  you're probably living on sugar and candy and all the other
• 3:58
  things. And it's just a short burst.
• 4:00
  And then you're burnt out and you have to cultivate this
• 4:03
  stuff. You can't just expect it to show
• 4:06
  up. Do you think that every time I
• 4:09
  go into a day of coaching that I am just randomly hoping it's
• 4:13
  going to show up? No, I cultivate it.
• 4:15
  It's all what I do in the morning.
• 4:17
  So it all comes back to what energy do you want?
• 4:20
  And I want to fill filled with energy and excitement and
• 4:22
  curiosity and learning and all these things.
• 4:24
  So I do habitual tasks. Habitual.
• 4:29
  You know, points of of notice to do those things.
• 4:33
  I'm always looking for those little points that lift me up,
• 4:36
  build me up and that that's how the whole chicken thing started
• 4:39
  and that's how, you know, the gardening starts and the the the
• 4:44
  love of growing all the flowers and everything else.
• 4:46
  Because I'm always cultivating an energy of curiosity, always
• 4:50
  cultivating an energy that I can move into and feel great about.
• 4:55
  So very very important to ask yourself.
• 4:58
  What energy do I want right now? And it's not about ignoring it.
• 5:04
  So when you feel a certain way, that's your clue.
• 5:06
  You have jumped out of the energy that you want.
• 5:09
  So if you start in the morning delineating exactly what you
• 5:13
  want for energy, or you go to bed the night before saying this
• 5:15
  is how I want to feel tomorrow, and you want to sleep on that
• 5:18
  and cultivate it and fill it up, then you will get there.
• 5:21
  But you have to choose to do that.
• 5:23
  So I hope that you are gonna choose some excellent energy
• 5:26
  today after hearing this. And I hope that you are going to
• 5:30
  move your way into asking that right question.
• 5:33
  Because if you keep asking yourself what energy do I want,
• 5:36
  you will get yourself clear and then obviously how just shows
• 5:41
  up. OK, my friends, I hope you have
• 5:44
  a blessed day and I will talk to you tomorrow.
• 5:46
  Bye.
