• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken. Coupe, I want to read you a
• 0:32
  fabulous quote that I read this morning for all my good
• 0:36
  intentions. There are days when things go
• 0:39
  wrong and I fall into Old Habits when things are not going well,
• 0:43
  when I am grumpy or mad, I realize that I have not been
• 0:47
  paying attention to my soul and that I have not been following
• 0:51
  my best routine. And this is a quote by Robert
• 0:56
  fulcrum and I wanted to express the wisdom in this quote, is
• 1:02
  vast, it is immense, and it is so spot-on accurate, which is
• 1:09
  why we're talking about it today.
• 1:11
  Think about the words that this man describes in this quote, he
• 1:15
  says he acknowledges that he's not going to always have good
• 1:20
  days based on his best intentions, it's not Things not
• 1:24
  always going to be quote, unquote, perfect.
• 1:27
  And then he stops and he recognizes when he really pays
• 1:32
  attention to it, when he really stops and pauses and looks at
• 1:36
  it, the problem is me. The problem is that I have not
• 1:43
  been in my best routines and therefore I have not been paying
• 1:48
  attention to my soul because theoretically, your best
• 1:52
  routines should be based. Based on the work of your soul,
• 1:56
  you know, coming out here every morning and doing this for you
• 1:59
  guys came about, because my best routines, my best intentions
• 2:07
  involve being out here with my animals every morning.
• 2:10
  There's just something very sacred to me about tending,
• 2:16
  plants, and tending animals, and giving love to things.
• 2:20
  And it makes a massive difference to me as a Some
• 2:24
  meaning, therefore, I can go off and I can be the best version of
• 2:27
  myself. When I talk to my clients, when
• 2:30
  I go to write a book when I do the podcast, all of this, it
• 2:33
  gives me a different sense of myself.
• 2:40
  Honestly, it really does. And, I know that sounds crazy,
• 2:44
  but a big part of my character is that nurturing nature.
• 2:49
  And when I'm not in the nurturing nature, I don't feel
• 2:53
  good. Good.
• 2:54
  I don't feel right. There's something off in my life
• 2:57
  and I don't have to be doing it all day every day, but I have to
• 3:00
  have it as part of my best routines.
• 3:03
  And I think we all fall into the Trap into the lack of awareness
• 3:09
  where we're not following following the path of our best
• 3:13
  routines. And some of us don't even know
• 3:15
  what our best routines are. Some of us know things that I
• 3:18
  when I do this, I feel good when I do this, I feel better.
• 3:21
  When I pay attention to this, I know I'm on Track.
• 3:24
  I can say without a doubt that there is no question in my mind
• 3:30
  that when you stop and pause and figure out what are you our best
• 3:33
  routines, what are your best habits?
• 3:35
  What are the things that fill you up and you incorporate those
• 3:38
  into your life? On a regular basis?
• 3:42
  Your world changes magic happens.
• 3:44
  And I am pointing this out today because we are coming through
• 3:48
  the second half of the year and into the second half of the
• 3:52
  year, you know? We're into June.
• 3:55
  And before you know it, the first six months of 2023 are
• 4:00
  going to be gone and you have to pause and say to yourself.
• 4:04
  Wait, what did you know, what did I accomplish?
• 4:06
  Am I on track for what? I put those vision boards and
• 4:09
  goals and everything else to see.
• 4:11
  And really if you even if you skipped that step, even if you
• 4:15
  skipped it and just said, you know, am I following my best
• 4:18
  version of myself? Am I?
• 4:20
  Am I on track with my best habits?
• 4:23
  The best. Practices.
• 4:24
  Am I doing things that fill my soul?
• 4:28
  You will automatically start to shift over to being back on
• 4:32
  track if you're off track. But the point is nothing is more
• 4:37
  important than the awareness of this exercise nothing.
• 4:41
  So right straight and to the point you've got to have
• 4:45
  awareness about this and you've got to be willing to look at it
• 4:48
  in order to pull yourself back to the magnetic north of going.
• 4:53
  Okay, I'm going to be on my path again.
• 4:56
  I need to get back to my path. It's not always easy and it's
• 5:01
  not always pleasant. When you look at how far off
• 5:04
  you've gone. You know, one of the simplest
• 5:06
  places that this takes so much of our space is just with our
• 5:10
  eating habits and our exercise habits people.
• 5:14
  Consistently tell me when we work in sessions about how well
• 5:20
  I've been slipping with my eating.
• 5:22
  Oh, I've been slipping with drinking I really don't want to
• 5:25
  but I end up with a beer or a glass of wine and you know the
• 5:28
  next day I don't feel well and I know I should only be doing it
• 5:32
  on the weekends and not during the week and it's a consistent
• 5:35
  thing. And I have to say, you you as
• 5:39
  adults, we are responsible for ourselves and we have to make
• 5:42
  our choices. We have to decide and when you
• 5:45
  know something and you're aware of it, theoretically, you can do
• 5:49
  better. But sometimes you just choose
• 5:50
  not to. So in those moments of decision
• 5:53
  that That's when you have to stop and pause and say to
• 5:55
  yourself, okay? Is this moving me towards my
• 5:58
  goals or away from my goals? That's a great question to ask
• 6:02
  yourself a better question to even ask yourself is, is this
• 6:05
  aligned with My Soul? Or is this not aligned with My
• 6:08
  Soul? That one always pulls me back
• 6:10
  from the edge of doing things like that because I know what
• 6:13
  works best for me. I know what my soul is telling
• 6:16
  me to do, and I know what I my brain is telling me to do and
• 6:19
  sometimes they are in Conflict. So really take a look at all of
• 6:23
  this. This really work for those
• 6:26
  moments when you know you are paying attention to your soul
• 6:31
  and you are following the best routine as Robert fulcrum said.
• 6:35
  Okay my friends, I hope you have an amazing day.
• 6:38
  A blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:40
  Bye.
