• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning.
• 0:29
  From the chicken coop Today we are talking about thoughts and
• 0:32
  how thoughts attract more thoughts.
• 0:35
  So this is kind of complex line of thinking.
• 0:40
  So I just want to make sure you follow along with it.
• 0:43
  So I'm going to try to keep it as simple as I possibly can, but
• 0:47
  as you know, things are magnetized, thoughts are
• 0:50
  magnetized. We've talked about this before
• 0:52
  and when you start having a thought.
• 0:55
  Thoughts build on more thoughts and they start to stack and they
• 1:00
  start to breed with each other. They start to just like
• 1:04
  intertwine. They start to fuse together.
• 1:06
  You know when you start to have a series of thoughts, they tend
• 1:09
  to start to wire together. Now you know, it's like the the
• 1:13
  neurons that fire together wire together.
• 1:16
  So you start to. Build up what we would refer to
• 1:20
  as evidence, procedures. With things, you start to think
• 1:23
  about stuff in a certain pattern and all of a sudden that pattern
• 1:26
  is built. So this is a really great thing.
• 1:29
  As long as it's resourceful and it's serving you.
• 1:31
  It is a horrible thing when it's not serving you.
• 1:35
  So let me give you an example. My husband and my son went away
• 1:39
  for the weekend and for some reason whenever they go away.
• 1:44
  I always have trouble sleeping. I don't know what it is and and
• 1:47
  and I it's just me. I just always don't sleep as
• 1:50
  soundly as I typically do when they're here.
• 1:52
  I think a lot of women have that issue and it just, you know,
• 1:57
  takes place. But anyway I when I return my
• 2:01
  television on it automatically goes to a Samsung channel.
• 2:05
  Not sure why, but it automatically goes to a Samsung
• 2:08
  channel. On that Channel is.
• 2:11
  Always playing Dateline. Don't know what deal they got,
• 2:14
  but it's always playing Dateline now.
• 2:18
  I am one of those people that loves mysteries.
• 2:21
  When I grew up, I, my mother, read every Nancy Drew book to
• 2:25
  me. We were always watching stuff
• 2:27
  like that it. It intrigues me to figure out
• 2:30
  what was someone thinking. Obviously that whole thing is my
• 2:33
  world, right? Like I'm always trying to figure
• 2:35
  out what was the purpose. Where were they going with this?
• 2:38
  You know, how how did they get to this place?
• 2:41
  So it's just part of my curiosity to know those things,
• 2:45
  but it also scares the living daylights out of me so as I am.
• 2:50
  Here by myself, I recognize that the whenever I click the
• 2:54
  television on just for background noise because it's
• 2:57
  stupid. That's how I grew up.
• 2:58
  If there was not noise in the house and meaning music or
• 3:02
  television, my mother would always have it on.
• 3:04
  So I just click the TV on them before you know what you're
• 3:06
  watching. Dateline and it's murder after
• 3:10
  murder after murder. Well, what does that do?
• 3:13
  Does it make you smarter? It can, because you start to
• 3:16
  think things through and you start to see how stuff blends
• 3:19
  and you start to see how people work.
• 3:21
  So that's intriguing to me. But it also makes you paranoid.
• 3:25
  So I'm thinking to myself, oh gosh, now This is why I'm not
• 3:29
  sleeping. This is why I'm not sleeping,
• 3:30
  because I'm thinking of all these things and the sounds.
• 3:33
  And then of course, randomly, you know, the cat will start
• 3:36
  staring at something out the door and you're like, and she's
• 3:39
  standing up on her hind legs looking and then the dog barks.
• 3:42
  Before you know it, you're freaked out.
• 3:44
  So. This is perfect example for how
• 3:47
  thoughts attract thoughts and they build and they don't build
• 3:51
  what you want, They're building what you don't want.
• 3:53
  They're building the opposite of it in this case.
• 3:56
  So if you look at it and you start to think about this topic
• 4:00
  because again, it's a complex topic because we often don't
• 4:04
  realize the little tiny things that we are building every
• 4:08
  single day. What we realize is the big
• 4:11
  emotions will feel the big emotions, but we don't pay
• 4:14
  attention to the small ones that we think are somewhat
• 4:18
  insignificant. But they're not, because those
• 4:20
  small ones are the ones that are more likely to be the most
• 4:24
  consistent ones, and they are the ones that take you out.
• 4:27
  So immediately, as soon as I recognized what was happening, I
• 4:32
  was like, OK, I have to be done with this.
• 4:34
  I can't watch this anymore and I didn't watch it.
• 4:37
  I just stopped cold Turkey and I that was it.
• 4:40
  I was done. And magically I slept.
• 4:43
  Which is not a surprise, honestly.
• 4:45
  Because guess what? When I recognize it, I have a
• 4:50
  choice. Then I can build my momentum in
• 4:52
  the right direction, or I can keep doing the wrong thing, but
• 4:56
  I realize I've got to do the right thing.
• 4:58
  And then doing the right thing. I cut it off.
• 5:00
  I stop it. Boom, I'm good.
• 5:03
  So This is why it's complex. Because if you don't catch it
• 5:06
  when it's small, then you're killing a dragon.
• 5:09
  You're not taking out this small little tiny monster.
• 5:13
  You're having to kill something that's ginormous, and in the
• 5:16
  process of having to kill something ginormous, it's much
• 5:19
  more difficult to handle. So do yourself a favor.
• 5:23
  Work on the small things. Work on the tiny things.
• 5:26
  Work on the things that you know you can take on easy.
• 5:31
  And remember, thoughts attract thoughts and build, so they can
• 5:34
  also work in the positive. Now I gave you the -1 today, or
• 5:38
  the darker one, because I wanted you to realize how simple it is
• 5:42
  and how something like a TV show can do it to you.
• 5:45
  But good ones build on good ones.
• 5:47
  So you can build that way too, by doing your mantras every day,
• 5:51
  by reading every morning, by doing the good stuff.
• 5:54
  You can do that by listening to healthy things.
• 5:57
  It matters. All right, my friends, I hope
• 6:00
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:03
  Bye.
