  Hey everybody, good early morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So the doors are not open. The girls are not out, and I am
• 0:35
  on the porch because it's too special to not let you hear the
• 0:39
  craziness that takes place here this early in the morning.
• 0:44
  And it rained hard and so oh, you can hear Raven off in the
• 0:48
  distance, but you can hear all the toads in the frogs going
• 0:52
  insane out here right now because.
• 0:55
  We've had. So much rain yesterday.
• 0:58
  So it it it's the world of a frog's land right now.
• 1:02
  Anyway, today we're talking about energy and using your
• 1:08
  energy in the wrong direction. So when I say that, I mean
• 1:13
  everything takes energy. No matter what you're doing,
• 1:15
  everything takes energy. It's believe it or not, you
• 1:18
  actually burn calories. Just thinking.
• 1:20
  I know most people don't know that, but you actually burn
• 1:23
  calories just thinking. And it's quite a joke in our
• 1:26
  house. However, the energy we're
• 1:30
  talking about today is directed energy.
• 1:33
  Where are you putting it? Are you putting your energy into
• 1:36
  your outcomes, or are you putting your energy into your
• 1:39
  worry about your outcomes? Ooh, such a different question,
• 1:42
  right? It's it's so contemplative to
• 1:47
  say, where am I doing the most good and where am I doing the
• 1:52
  most damage for myself? Because we we Everything takes
• 1:56
  energy, and where you put it matters.
• 1:59
  Where you put it matters. I can't stress that enough.
• 2:02
  Where you put it matters. So if you're pouring into making
• 2:08
  something happen and you're doing all the tasks, you're
• 2:11
  doing, doing, doing, doing, doing, doing, doing, but behind
• 2:14
  the scenes you're not your best asset.
• 2:17
  If behind the scenes you are tearing yourself apart,
• 2:22
  worrying. You have a fractured intention
• 2:26
  and fractured energy and that is not OK.
• 2:30
  It is going to cause you to go 2 steps forward, one step back, 2
• 2:33
  steps forward, one step back a step sideways.
• 2:35
  Oops, I slipped down the hill. It is insanity how much that
• 2:39
  affects you. So it requires you to be very,
• 2:45
  very on point and requires you to say OK, I've really got to
• 2:50
  pay attention to where my energy is going.
• 2:53
  Physically as well as mentally, it's A tag team.
• 2:57
  It's something that we have to do and check on ourselves and
• 3:01
  not just one minute of a day. It is like, you know, people
• 3:06
  will say I got up in the morning and I.
• 3:07
  Did my. Journal Okay.
• 3:08
  Great. And then what happened after
• 3:10
  that? Did you go all day long and
• 3:12
  spend your day worrying? There's a very good chance and
• 3:16
  likelihood that that happened because until you got back home
• 3:19
  and you sat down and it was time to journal again.
• 3:22
  Where I kind of say that that's when you get put in the corner
• 3:25
  and you have to pay attention. So then you start to pay
• 3:27
  attention. Otherwise you're not paying
• 3:29
  attention. It's it's a strange little world
• 3:33
  inside of our heads and we must. Constantly be the guard of that
• 3:38
  in the world to see who we're letting in, who are letting take
• 3:41
  over, and who's driving that bus in those moments.
• 3:44
  Because the physical energy is somewhat wasted when the mental
• 3:50
  energy is not on point. And I say somewhat because you
• 3:55
  will get F, you will get results from the effort that you put in.
• 3:59
  They just won't be consistent. They just won't stay for a long
• 4:03
  time. In order to have that happen,
• 4:05
  you have to tag team it. You have to have it work in your
• 4:09
  favor and have the tag team working for you, which is the
• 4:14
  mental energy. At the same time you're doing it
• 4:17
  with the physical energy. It it's it's like putting the
• 4:21
  fuel in the vehicle. The vehicle vehicle doesn't work
• 4:23
  well if the fuel isn't great, so you have to make sure that you
• 4:28
  are paying attention to that piece.
• 4:31
  So how do you pay attention to that piece?
• 4:33
  The most important thing I can tell you is when you feel good
• 4:37
  and you're excited and you're on the light side of the emotions.
• 4:42
  You know you're moving in the right direction.
• 4:44
  You know you have captured yourself down to that point
• 4:49
  where you can say OKI am feeling good and that's my indicator.
• 4:53
  I'm feeling like on purpose. I might have little tiny moments
• 4:57
  of doubt. But the doubt is not taking
• 4:59
  over. When you feel the emotions on
• 5:02
  the darker side, that's when you know you're off point and you're
• 5:06
  spending a lot of time expending mental energy that is not
• 5:11
  serving you. Because remember, those emotions
• 5:15
  that are dark, the dark drivers of the bus, we are supposed.
• 5:18
  To just get. Information from all our
• 5:20
  emotions, especially those and then move on and course correct.
• 5:25
  It's like if you were lost and you asked for directions
• 5:28
  somewhere and you got the directions and then they said
• 5:31
  hey, you want to make a left up here and you said OK, so I'm
• 5:33
  going to leave this parking. Lot and I'm going to go out.
• 5:35
  And I'm going to make a left. Yes.
• 5:37
  And then you go out, you leave the parking lot and you turn
• 5:39
  right. That's when you you know you've
• 5:42
  gone wrong again. Because it's like, OK, I know
• 5:45
  what I need to do. I've got the information from
• 5:46
  the emotion that this. Is what needs to happen.
• 5:49
  This is what I need to change. This is what I need to focus on
• 5:51
  and then all of a sudden I don't listen to it at all.
• 5:53
  So that's how you start. You start by getting, collecting
• 5:57
  the information, taking that information and actually making
• 6:01
  it valuable and. Using it.
• 6:04
  Stop beating yourself up. Stop expending the energy.
• 6:06
  In the. Wrong direction.
• 6:08
  And I really want to remind you, this works.
• 6:10
  It works when you do it. You just got to do it
• 6:12
  consistently. So I hope you guys enjoyed the
• 6:16
  sounds of the frogs this morning.
• 6:18
  We will be back with the girls tomorrow.
• 6:21
  And I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you
• 6:24
  tomorrow. Bye.
