• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the garage.
• 0:32
  I know it's funny to say it again, however, is very early
• 0:35
  and I'm working on getting organized before I go out to the
• 0:41
  girls. And I just wanted to jump on
• 0:44
  obviously day after Christmas and you know, start to talk
• 0:49
  about today for me is just a time when I'm like still in that
• 0:53
  massive holiday spirit. I love to sit and start thinking
• 0:57
  about what are all the possibilities of things that
• 1:00
  I'm. I'm very much in possibility
• 1:02
  mode right now because this is the week between Christmas and
• 1:05
  New Year's where I really dig in.
• 1:08
  As I've said a couple times in the past week or so, I dig in
• 1:12
  and I start thinking all about the possibilities of what can
• 1:17
  happen, what I can do, how I want to do it, lay it all out
• 1:20
  and it's a deep dive into some fun stuff for me.
• 1:24
  So after eating far too much sugar yesterday and because we
• 1:31
  had lasagna, Italian food that I made, yes, and I cooked, which
• 1:37
  was a really big thing for me not to do the traditional types
• 1:41
  of food because at least I know I can get those correct, I
• 1:44
  decided I wanted to do something different and I made lasagna.
• 1:49
  And boy was that living in the possibility or what?
• 1:52
  So it was, it was insane because I also baked two different kinds
• 1:56
  of brownies. I baked gluten free brownies for
• 1:59
  my daughter and then I baked Blondie brownies because my
• 2:02
  husband loves those and I did them from scratch.
• 2:06
  The gluten free I did not do from scratch.
• 2:08
  Full disclosure. No, no no, can't do that with my
• 2:11
  daughter. Can't run the risk of having it
• 2:13
  not work out well because it's gluten free anyway.
• 2:16
  So I did two different kinds of the brownies.
• 2:21
  Then I went and did two different kinds of lasagna.
• 2:24
  Same lasagna but a gluten free version and then a big regular
• 2:29
  version with regular noodles for everybody.
• 2:32
  And that was quite the challenge because I had not made lasagna
• 2:37
  and I was following a recipe from Joanna Gaines book.
• 2:41
  So I was like, OK, no, she's already done all the heavy
• 2:44
  lifting here. She's got it all figured out.
• 2:45
  I'm just going to follow it along and doubled up the recipe.
• 2:49
  Ended up making it. It was really great.
• 2:52
  I did two different kinds of breads for garlic bread, one
• 2:55
  gluten free, one not. But I did not bake the bread
• 2:58
  from scratch. I just prepared it and then I
• 3:00
  did one type of green bean, which was like a lemon garlic
• 3:04
  green bean roast in the oven. And I have to say it going into
• 3:09
  the the days of possibility, I started it yesterday just by
• 3:14
  saying, well, what's possible if I change up the menu and I do
• 3:16
  something different? So I started by asking the
• 3:19
  questions right away. That's why I just told you my
• 3:21
  whole menu and I didn't just push it a little bit with one
• 3:23
  thing. I did it all the way.
• 3:25
  So as I go into today, it's all about sitting there and saying,
• 3:29
  OK, I am going to capture today is going to be the list of all
• 3:34
  the possibilities. I've been making random lists,
• 3:37
  but now I'm going to take them and I'm going to put them all on
• 3:40
  one gigantic piece of paper and say, OK, this is it.
• 3:45
  This is like my, I'll have probably many 11 by 17 sheets of
• 3:48
  paper. And I will be writing them all
• 3:51
  over the place. And I will be putting things
• 3:53
  down so that I can actually sit there and say, OK, yes, this is
• 3:57
  it. This is the stuff that I'm going
• 3:59
  to use as my pull chart. I'm going to keep going back to
• 4:02
  those lists and I'm going to keep saying what are the
• 4:04
  possibilities that I want to dive into, but I'm doing it
• 4:07
  really in a very, very specific headspace.
• 4:10
  I'm not feeling daunted by all kinds of other things because
• 4:16
  I've cleaned up to this point as much as I can.
• 4:19
  Yes, I still have a few things I have to do, but they're not
• 4:22
  major. So I'm going in very much making
• 4:26
  this something that is very specific, and it's all about
• 4:31
  feeling. Notice the word there.
• 4:33
  It's all about feeling the potential, feeling a certain
• 4:37
  way, feeling excited, feeling willing to do this, feeling that
• 4:41
  I have no commitments of anything until January 6th,
• 4:46
  which seems so far away to me right now.
• 4:49
  And all I have to do is dwell in all of this possibility and
• 4:53
  planning. And I don't think I can remember
• 4:56
  a time in my schedule where I've given myself this much
• 5:00
  possibility. So I'm going to be able to dwell
• 5:03
  in it for, you know, over well, over 10 days at this point.
• 5:08
  And well, about 10 days, I think I got to count that how many
• 5:12
  days it might be. But it's about, it's about that.
• 5:14
  And I've never done that before where I've been able to say, OK,
• 5:17
  this is something I'm super excited and just can sit with it
• 5:22
  and I don't have to hurry it up to get to the next day where
• 5:25
  it's done. And then I can just, you know,
• 5:27
  be done and move on. Point is, feel excited.
• 5:32
  Go in and feel excited. Give yourself some time, if you
• 5:35
  can, to feel excited for an extended period of time in your
• 5:39
  planning. And I promise you it will change
• 5:41
  everything. All right, my friends, I will
• 5:43
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
