• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning.
• 0:29
  OK, We're standing in the garage because I just had an epiphany
• 0:34
  about the fact that I have been feeling since I came home from
• 0:37
  my trip, I've been feeling very just amped up.
• 0:42
  I guess that's the best way to say it.
• 0:44
  I've been very amped up and I could not figure out why.
• 0:47
  And I kept thinking to myself, you know, I pay attention.
• 0:51
  I'm watching myself and the amped upness I realized was
• 0:56
  coming in from this very unusual situation.
• 1:00
  So obviously, this time of year is very tricky, right?
• 1:03
  We just had the snow. We've had this horrible weather.
• 1:06
  We've had, you know, it's just been really, really dank and
• 1:09
  cold and awful. And then when I got back, things
• 1:12
  started to thaw out. And we've had a warm up the last
• 1:16
  two days and it's been a little warmer than we would normally
• 1:20
  see in January. So it went from like freezing
• 1:23
  cold, colder than we've ever seen all the way.
• 1:25
  And so start contrast. But I started feeling this a
• 1:29
  couple days ago and I couldn't figure out like what was going
• 1:33
  on. And I just felt like, all right,
• 1:35
  I was waking up earlier than I normally do, which is very
• 1:37
  early. Normally I'm up and at it at
• 1:40
  like 4:30 in the morning and now I'm waking up at like 3:45.
• 1:45
  I'm like, why, why is all this happening?
• 1:47
  Couldn't go like even my brain wasn't shutting off at night,
• 1:49
  which is not unlike me. It does happen.
• 1:53
  However, I manage it really well and I could not figure out what
• 1:56
  was going on. So this morning I walked out to
• 1:59
  go to my studio because I have these favorite pens and I I ran
• 2:04
  out of ink. So I walked out it's pitch dark.
• 2:06
  I've got the flashlight. I come around the corner and
• 2:08
  there's this fresh smell in the air, like just really clean air.
• 2:13
  And it's smelled like spring to me.
• 2:15
  And I went, oh, Oh my gosh, I know what's going on.
• 2:18
  I've been triggered by all of this weather the last couple
• 2:23
  days that I am being signaled, like physically signaled to get
• 2:29
  out and do things like the it's it's spring, you're supposed to
• 2:33
  be growing things. And that trigger is always so
• 2:37
  exciting to me. But with the warm weather coming
• 2:40
  as quickly as it did, it made me feel behind.
• 2:43
  Now this warm weather is just an anomaly.
• 2:45
  It's not going to stay. I couldn't put anything in the
• 2:48
  ground right now. If I try, it would be the wrong
• 2:50
  time to do it unless I was planting something that you
• 2:54
  know, was a winter vegetable. I could probably even get away
• 2:58
  with doing some things, lettuce, whatnot.
• 3:00
  But I don't, I don't usually do that.
• 3:02
  I usually hold up and I plant everything in the spring.
• 3:06
  But I had this whole wave that come out that just came
• 3:10
  physically right over me about spring and it was this rush of
• 3:14
  excitement and all of a sudden I recognized it.
• 3:18
  I felt behind because I don't have my trays set up for my
• 3:22
  seeds. I haven't the seat.
• 3:24
  The last delivery of seeds is not even here to arrive yet.
• 3:27
  I haven't sorted out where it's all going.
• 3:29
  I only have one garden cleaned out, but not cleaned out at the
• 3:33
  level I want it to. And I have not cleaned out the
• 3:36
  flower garden. And I have not cut out all the
• 3:38
  other beds because I wait as long as I can to make sure
• 3:41
  anything that has, you know, laid eggs in there and is
• 3:44
  nesting in there, butterflies and whatnot, has an opportunity
• 3:47
  me to come out. So I was triggered by the
• 3:51
  springtime bug, but it also triggered me being behind, which
• 3:56
  my certainty girl absolutely can't stand.
• 4:00
  You're, you know, you're, if you are not ahead, then you are
• 4:03
  behind. That's how my brain works.
• 4:05
  So why am I telling you all of this?
• 4:07
  Because look at this one simple little tiny trigger.
• 4:11
  The The smell of fresh air sent my brain into this whirlwind,
• 4:17
  but it was already happening from the warm weather.
• 4:20
  I just didn't pick up on it. And these clues are so subtle.
• 4:25
  My friends, they show up though, and they're subtle and you have
• 4:28
  to look for them. When I start decoding it, I can
• 4:31
  go back and I can say, OK, this is something to do with
• 4:34
  springtime. But look, it's also to do with
• 4:37
  being behind. So which one is more important
• 4:40
  in my head, you have to start weighing these sometimes, which
• 4:43
  is affecting me more. Is it the trigger of springtime
• 4:45
  or is it the trigger of being behind?
• 4:47
  And for me, I can guarantee you it's the trigger of being
• 4:50
  behind. As soon as I set it, I started
• 4:53
  to feel a wave of peace come over me because now I knew and I
• 4:57
  can say, ah, let me bend time here.
• 4:59
  I have more than enough time. I couldn't put, I wouldn't put
• 5:02
  anything in the ground until, you know, as late as I possibly
• 5:07
  can in March because I don't want anything to get burnt or
• 5:12
  ruined or anything else, especially if I'm growing them
• 5:15
  inside, which I mean it, you know, here we are end of
• 5:18
  January. There is no way that I won't
• 5:21
  have things ready to go in the on the ground by the time I go.
• 5:24
  There's no way that they'll all these tray lights.
• 5:27
  Everything will be set up by the end of probably the end of next
• 5:31
  week. That was the timing I had
• 5:33
  planned, but the anxiety of the weather was pushing it for me.
• 5:37
  It was like and I didn't even realize it.
• 5:40
  So look for the subtle clues, pay attention, ask the right
• 5:44
  questions because sometimes they're so subtle.
• 5:46
  It's like a breath of fresh air. Did it.
• 5:49
  So I hope this was helpful to all of you and I will see you
• 5:52
  tomorrow with a much clearer head about planning and not
• 5:56
  feeling so far behind. All right my friends, have a
• 5:59
  blessed day. Bye.
