• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so They were talking about
• 0:31
  congruence. What do I mean?
• 0:34
  When I say, congruence and reference to mindset and self
• 0:39
  development and personal growth and all that good stuff?
• 0:43
  Well, being congruent is hard means, whatever you believe
• 0:47
  about yourself or whatever you are saying about yourself, you
• 0:50
  have to actually act into being congruent, meaning everything
• 0:55
  aligns and as human beings. It is a very, very hard thing to
• 0:59
  do. We often say things about
• 1:02
  ourselves but they are just not reality of what happens.
• 1:06
  We will put things out there and we will pretend that we are
• 1:09
  something that we are not will say they we work out all the
• 1:12
  time but we don't do it. We talked about how we eat only
• 1:17
  healthy foods but then we stuck a bunch of things in our mouths
• 1:20
  that are not healthy. We talked about the fact that we
• 1:23
  like to study and do things and that are part of our self growth
• 1:30
  but then we Outdo them, these are incongruencies, the words
• 1:33
  that come out of our mouths, don't match the actions that we
• 1:36
  take and often. The way this becomes such a huge
• 1:41
  problem for us. Overall is the fact that it adds
• 1:45
  up over time we start to get very aware of the fact that we
• 1:49
  are not where we want to be. And before you know it it
• 1:53
  escapes you and you are way down a path and it's kind of like
• 1:57
  when you're on vacation and this is a great example.
• 2:00
  Apple for me because I just came back from a little vacation was
• 2:03
  staycation really but just a time where we were here enjoying
• 2:06
  ourselves and our life and You know, he's just not worrying
• 2:11
  about what you're eating. And I'm normally very focused on
• 2:14
  eating healthy foods and doing things the right way.
• 2:16
  And we're here, we are in this little staycation and I'm not
• 2:19
  paying attention to it at all and I'm eating and then before,
• 2:23
  you know it, you know, I'm thinking oh I'm healthy I'm
• 2:25
  doing all these things. I'm just taking a little break
• 2:28
  for my vacation and then you know, but I'm still thinking of
• 2:31
  myself that I'm healthy and I'm doing all the healthy things.
• 2:34
  Really not paying attention though.
• 2:35
  And before, you know it, I gained four pounds and I'm like
• 2:38
  how That I gained four pounds on vacation.
• 2:40
  This isn't even funny but it's just a great example to show you
• 2:44
  how quickly it adds up those little pounds, those little Oz,
• 2:47
  boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, they add right up and before,
• 2:50
  you know, it, you're not where you want to be.
• 2:52
  Well, that's the thing about being congruent, it works both
• 2:55
  ways. So, if you're super congruent in
• 2:57
  a positive way, things start to stack up.
• 3:00
  And if you're super incongruent in a negative way, things start
• 3:03
  to stack up. So how do you fix that?
• 3:06
  Well, the first thing you have to do is to the Inventory of, am
• 3:09
  I being congruent are my words matching?
• 3:12
  What I am acting into every single day are my actions being
• 3:17
  congruent with the things that I believe about myself.
• 3:20
  And this comes back to our, you know, age-old conversation about
• 3:25
  being blatantly honest, with ourselves, and trying to
• 3:29
  recognize that we often lie to ourselves, and we skirt the
• 3:34
  truth, and we stretch the truth, and we bend the truth, but the
• 3:37
  reality is were lying to ourselves.
• 3:39
  So you have to pause and say, okay, well, where am I
• 3:42
  congruent? And where am I in congruent?
• 3:45
  Once you have that little inventory and an honest
• 3:48
  inventory, not just a limited inventory, it's got to be an
• 3:53
  honest inventory. You have to, then from there, go
• 3:57
  to the next level of saying. Okay, how do I improve my
• 4:01
  consistency and my congruence? What are the things that I can
• 4:04
  do to improve that? What are the things that I can
• 4:07
  do to make myself? Feel more congruent and to act
• 4:11
  more congruent and to become more congruent because it's all,
• 4:14
  it's all a big mesh of it. How you feel when you feel
• 4:17
  congruent you want to stay congruence?
• 4:19
  Like once you're on a path, you want to continue on that path.
• 4:22
  So once you start looking at it and observing it, you can pull
• 4:28
  habits that will make you more congruent.
• 4:31
  So picking certain times of the day to do things like me doing
• 4:34
  this every morning. That's a, it's a great example.
• 4:39
  Or sometimes, you know, it can be something as simple as like,
• 4:43
  you know, okay, I can tie something one thing to another
• 4:45
  to increase my congruence. So if I want to do mantras every
• 4:49
  morning, if I want to focus on my goals every morning, I can
• 4:51
  tie that to something. I'm very congruent with, which
• 4:53
  is brushing my teeth, or maybe you go for a walk every day.
• 4:57
  Maybe you have a dog and you walk your dog every day.
• 4:59
  And during that walk, you can listen to yourself development
• 5:03
  every day, whatever it might be, you can try to link things
• 5:06
  together and that really helps in the process.
• 5:08
  Of create creating the congruence.
• 5:11
  But the most important thing is to recognize where you are in
• 5:14
  congruent first, so that you can fix it.
• 5:17
  So, that's your assignment today, look for your
• 5:19
  incongruencies, look, for the places that you need to improve
• 5:23
  so that you can tie them, tether them to other things where you
• 5:26
  are congruent and fix it. And be honest with yourself
• 5:30
  about where are the incongruencies need to be
• 5:33
  attacked and and shifted and I hope you guys have a very
• 5:38
  blessed day. Day looking for all of it and I
• 5:40
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
