• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So today we're talking about
• 0:32
  reassessing things. So I had some really specific
• 0:35
  ideas of some things that I wanted to do on the farm at the
• 0:38
  beginning of the year and here we are into the middle to the
• 0:43
  end of February, middle ish February.
• 0:46
  And I'm already reassessing and I wanted to bring up the pattern
• 0:51
  of reassessing because I think it's so important to remember
• 0:54
  that it's part of a process, it's part of growing, it's part
• 0:58
  of building. Reassessing is a constant and
• 1:00
  never ending deal that we do in order to get things to be
• 1:05
  better, in order to get things to the place that we say we want
• 1:08
  them. Which I laugh while I'm saying
• 1:10
  it because is anything ever really done.
• 1:13
  And this for this term of reassessing is you know used a
• 1:18
  lot in my world because I'm constantly doing it and I know
• 1:22
  it drives my husband crazy. Like he will say things like is
• 1:25
  it ever done. Can't we ever just let it be
• 1:27
  done. And we are very different
• 1:30
  creatures. He is more analytical and I am
• 1:32
  far more creative. So when you you know, have those
• 1:36
  two worlds collide, it's it's always interesting because while
• 1:40
  I do take an analytical stance on some things, nine times out
• 1:45
  of 10, it's always built with the flavor of having that
• 1:48
  creative balance with it. And I think that often times we
• 1:53
  really mess with ourselves because we don't want to
• 1:56
  reassess things. We think we have to just go and
• 1:59
  say, OK, this is exactly what I intended and then we have to
• 2:04
  leave it like that. So my point is reassessing as
• 2:08
  you grow, it's a constant and never ending process that you're
• 2:13
  going to grow as a person. Your mindset's going to change,
• 2:15
  your ideas are going to change. The way you see the world
• 2:18
  changes. The person you are at the
• 2:20
  beginning of this podcast is not the person you will be at the
• 2:22
  end of it. It's just we are constantly
• 2:26
  evolving. It might be in the smallest of
• 2:28
  small ways, sometimes it's by big giant leaps, but it is
• 2:32
  evolution. It in it.
• 2:34
  And it is a constant process that you cannot get away from.
• 2:38
  You cannot get away from it. And what's important to remember
• 2:41
  is in the reassessing, you got to let yourself have that right
• 2:46
  to do it. You can't beat yourself up for
• 2:48
  it. You can't say, oh this is
• 2:50
  terrible. I can't believe I'm I'm doing
• 2:52
  this again. I can't believe I have to do
• 2:54
  this again. It doesn't work like that my
• 2:57
  friends. The way that you should kind of
• 3:00
  allow yourself to go with this is this is where I am right now.
• 3:03
  And maybe in a couple weeks I will think something different
• 3:07
  and I will think something different.
• 3:08
  I would have never, when I planned this pharma originally,
• 3:12
  I would never have thought I would have already gone through
• 3:15
  two chicken coops that would not have happened in my world.
• 3:18
  I would never have thought that. I would have thought, Oh no, I'm
• 3:21
  still with my original 10. No, it's fine.
• 3:24
  I can make that work. I got a big enough one.
• 3:26
  Well, guess what? I didn't.
• 3:28
  And I had to reassess what my plans were with chickens.
• 3:31
  And then I had to say, OK, I'm going to get another chicken
• 3:34
  coop. I mean, this is, this is a a
• 3:39
  real enlightening process into how much you're willing to allow
• 3:44
  your imagination, your creativity, your abundance to
• 3:48
  go. So the reassessing factor of
• 3:51
  that's happening on the farm right now is me looking at what
• 3:55
  I want to grow, where I want to grow it.
• 3:57
  How I see this moving in more in with the flowers, putting
• 4:02
  flowers into a position where because there's such a great
• 4:06
  metaphor and they're so beautiful and they shift energy
• 4:10
  and everything about a flower makes people smile.
• 4:14
  There isn't. I mean, people just see flowers
• 4:17
  and they smile and being surrounded by them is lifting
• 4:21
  up. So as we do more and more things
• 4:24
  on the farm, I'm recognizing that I have to incorporate those
• 4:28
  things in and I have to, I have to put into into the play that
• 4:33
  more and more people will be visiting.
• 4:35
  I have to put into the aspect that I want.
• 4:40
  I want my farm to feel a certain way.
• 4:43
  I want it to look a certain way and I want it to perform a
• 4:47
  certain way. So I've got my, my, my pillars
• 4:51
  don't really change of the outcome of it, but what does
• 4:54
  change is the vehicles of how to get there.
• 4:56
  What does change is the the way I go about making it happen.
• 5:02
  So where you look at this and reassess is being honest with
• 5:06
  yourself and saying do I like this, do I not like this, Does
• 5:09
  this, does this work for me? Does it not work for me?
• 5:12
  Very simple, basic language. I know I've got to reassess the
• 5:15
  entire vegetable garden because we have a real issue with weeds
• 5:20
  and no matter what strategy we try.
• 5:23
  And I won't use chemicals, so that's not even on the book.
• 5:26
  So anyone who's going to message me and say get a chemical, I
• 5:29
  won't do it. So this is all about organic
• 5:31
  farming and saying, OK, how can I do this best with Mother
• 5:34
  Nature and how can I make this work in a way that gives me the
• 5:38
  result that I need and reassess without making something toxic.
• 5:43
  So we're working on that with the garden right now.
• 5:45
  We're figuring it out this year where I believe as of today and
• 5:49
  I say that, you know, gingerly as of today, we are probably
• 5:54
  going to use some fabric on the ground to make sure that it's
• 5:58
  protected from the weeds. So the plants have every
• 6:01
  opportunity to go and be as grand as they can be.
• 6:05
  But again, allowing for reassessing, I'm still taking it
• 6:08
  all in. The next two weeks are really
• 6:11
  deep in the weeds for that. No pun intended for me to get in
• 6:15
  there and say, OK, what will work and what won't work?
• 6:17
  So do some reassessing, See where you are, because I promise
• 6:21
  you it's OK and I promise you it feels fantastic when you start
• 6:25
  to do it and allow your creative brain to go off.
• 6:29
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll
• 6:31
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
