• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today I want to talk to you about a question that I got from
• 0:33
  a client and she said to me, you know, I don't know what I want
• 0:38
  to do. I feel like I am completely and
• 0:41
  totally in the state of, you know, Discovery maybe or despair
• 0:46
  because I don't know what to do. I keep thinking, I know what I
• 0:49
  want to do but then when I try it, I'm not excited about it.
• 0:53
  And I keep going down this Rabbit Hole, so to speak of
• 0:56
  being lost and not knowing what I want to do.
• 0:59
  I think a lot of us are like that.
• 1:00
  That I know sometimes for myself, I feel that way.
• 1:03
  I think it's very common. I think a lot of us have
• 1:08
  multiple things. We're interested in.
• 1:10
  Therefore, we feel like we're directionless a lot of times,
• 1:13
  and we don't know what way to go, and I think it is so common
• 1:20
  in the, in human nature, to always be looking for what's
• 1:24
  next or what's better? Or what could be better, or
• 1:27
  where should I go from here? That we think That means we're
• 1:31
  lost and I'm here to tell you. It doesn't mean you're lost at
• 1:34
  all. It's actually is an opportunity.
• 1:37
  It's exciting. It's something that you can look
• 1:40
  at and say this is not a bad thing.
• 1:43
  I mean, trust me not a bad thing.
• 1:47
  If you stay there forever, then it's a bad thing.
• 1:50
  But when you're just there and it's a temporary thing or it's
• 1:54
  for a short period of time. It's okay because you have to
• 1:59
  change the language around it. You have to Change your beliefs
• 2:01
  around it and you have to look at it.
• 2:02
  Like I am in a state of possibility.
• 2:05
  I am in a state of open to all the opportunities that are
• 2:10
  showing up with me and and be in an energy of excitement of what
• 2:14
  that can bring to you. So again this is all about your
• 2:20
  perspective and I know we've talked about that before but I
• 2:24
  can't drive this home enough and when this question came up about
• 2:28
  like you know, what do you do when you just feel like you
• 2:30
  don't know. To do and you feel like you're
• 2:32
  just you know, it all over the place.
• 2:36
  Look at it from a different point of view instead of saying
• 2:39
  it's a bad thing. Say this is a great thing.
• 2:41
  I'm in a wild state of possibility.
• 2:42
  Right now I can go in any direction I want.
• 2:45
  I can create whatever I want, I can move in any direction I
• 2:48
  want, I could build out the current business.
• 2:51
  I'm in, I could create a new business, I could get a new job.
• 2:54
  I could create anything that I want in my life, even if it's
• 2:56
  just down to something simple like, you know, creating a piece
• 2:59
  of art or making a quilt or learning how to cook or doing
• 3:03
  anything that excites you it adds. 30, when you have
• 3:08
  possibility framework in your brain, you are going to be much
• 3:13
  easier on yourself and you're going to be in that state of
• 3:16
  what do I always say curiosity? Because curiosity is the power
• 3:21
  State curiosity, is such a gift. And when we are in a state of
• 3:24
  curiosity, we have absolute power because we can look at
• 3:29
  things and we don't put it all on ourselves to say, I've got to
• 3:32
  make a decision because we're just in state of curiosity and
• 3:36
  You're curious, you ask better questions, you show up, better
• 3:39
  you for yourself, you show up better for others, you don't
• 3:43
  make judgments and you're just collecting information, you're
• 3:45
  curating things. So I want to, I want to
• 3:50
  emphasize that when you're in this, one of the tools that is
• 3:53
  very important and primarily something that I use
• 3:58
  consistently, it's grab a notebook, grab a journal, start
• 4:02
  writing things down, what are all my possibilities?
• 4:04
  What are my Curious thoughts? What?
• 4:06
  Are the things that I need to be thinking about doing paying
• 4:10
  attention to because or or even the thoughts, just even if it's
• 4:14
  just a conscious stream of thought running and you write it
• 4:17
  on the paper. You know, that exercise in
• 4:20
  itself when your brain is on overload and you sit down, you
• 4:23
  grab a pen paper and you just start putting it in.
• 4:25
  You just start writing. What are all my random thoughts?
• 4:28
  Once you see them on paper, you can say, well, this is bullshit
• 4:31
  or this is good. You can say, I want to keep this
• 4:33
  or I want to get rid of it. You can say, well, this is
• 4:35
  absolute. I don't even want to keep that
• 4:37
  here. This is dumb.
• 4:38
  I don't want to think this again, it makes it so much
• 4:41
  easier to sort out all the things that are running in your
• 4:44
  head and oftentimes where the problem with being in the state
• 4:49
  comes in is when you're staying in your head by yourself, Boy,
• 4:54
  that is very much a place of, you know, danger, danger danger,
• 5:01
  because it allows you to believe what you're thinking and what we
• 5:05
  think is not always true, you know.
• 5:08
  This is how people get into trouble.
• 5:09
  This is how people get into despair.
• 5:11
  This is how depression develops. It's one of those points where
• 5:14
  when you don't share with other people, when you don't have a
• 5:17
  safe place to share with other people, even if it's on paper,
• 5:22
  as simple as on. Gets it out of your head, it's a
• 5:25
  beginning and I can't tell you how much I encourage my clients
• 5:29
  to do this, encourage all of you to do this, because it will help
• 5:33
  you sort it out. So, rather than go into a state
• 5:37
  of, oh, no, go into a state of curiosity, go into a state of
• 5:42
  possibility, reframe this, for yourself, put it on paper, start
• 5:47
  to like, you know, process it. And actually find somebody that
• 5:52
  even you that you can even sit down with and brainstorm about
• 5:55
  this with. But pick somebody that, you
• 5:57
  know, has a more positive frame of mind, don't go to the person
• 6:01
  that's going to be like, oh, you know, the Debbie Downer of it
• 6:04
  all and not wanting to see possibilities with you.
• 6:07
  Pick somebody that, you know, is great to share with.
• 6:10
  And if you can't, if you don't let say, you don't know
• 6:13
  somebody. I'm telling you, if you go and
• 6:15
  you start looking, even if you go to meetup.com and you start
• 6:18
  looking for, you know, groups on there that are all about
• 6:22
  manifesting. Goal setting and all that you
• 6:24
  will find something, there it is.
• 6:26
  Absolutely one of the best resources out there.
• 6:29
  If you've never tried it meeting.
• 6:30
  Meetup.com is amazing, put in your zip code, and you'll find
• 6:35
  something, but don't keep it in your own head.
• 6:38
  Okay? So gets busy get working on it
• 6:41
  and I will see you guys tomorrow.
• 6:44
  Have a very blessed day. My friends.
• 6:46
  Bye.
