• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so today is Our final in
• 0:31
  the series on stress. Well, at least it's our final
• 0:34
  four right now. And today, we are talking about
• 0:37
  faith and this is a tricky subject for people.
• 0:41
  Because, you know, not all my clients have faith, not all my
• 0:44
  clients, have a religion, they follow or faith, or
• 0:47
  spirituality, and it's a personal thing.
• 0:51
  Like, I want to start off right away by saying it's a personal
• 0:53
  thing. And the way I'm using faith
• 0:57
  today is not just based in religion, if you are Our
• 1:00
  religious and you want to have it this conversation directed
• 1:04
  that way focus on that for yourself.
• 1:06
  If you are spiritual but you are not religious, you focus on it
• 1:10
  that way because I'm going to keep this as general as I
• 1:12
  possibly can. So it has a benefit for as many
• 1:15
  people as it possibly can. The trick here is understanding
• 1:20
  that when you are under stress, Oftentimes, you're focused on
• 1:26
  being alone, often, oftentimes, you are focused on being
• 1:30
  disconnected and feeling like an isolated island somewhere and
• 1:35
  not being able to you know, have anybody that will pitch in and
• 1:41
  sometimes that really is the condition, sometimes you are on
• 1:44
  an island physically. When you look around, you are
• 1:47
  the only person there and maybe in your life that's the case
• 1:50
  where you don't have somebody else.
• 1:54
  How many family they've passed away?
• 1:55
  They've gone away, whatever the conditions are, but this side of
• 1:59
  it comes down to that. Core and I want to use the word
• 2:05
  scientific because I really do believe it is this way.
• 2:10
  We are all connected because you're part of an energy field
• 2:14
  and you can't break that. You are connected.
• 2:18
  Whether you believe it or not, you are connected.
• 2:20
  Whether you believe that, it's there.
• 2:22
  You are tethered. Just like, I don't have to
• 2:24
  believe that gravity is real. It still works.
• 2:28
  I don't float away. Thank God.
• 2:30
  But I don't have to think about it in order to Have it work.
• 2:33
  I also don't think about the electricity in my house and I
• 2:37
  plug in and it works. It's part of a system that runs
• 2:42
  behind the scenes and so much of our world is like that and we
• 2:49
  take it for granted. We don't think about it and we
• 2:51
  certainly don't make the connection that it is all
• 2:55
  connected. We don't we hear it will hear in
• 2:58
  passing will say, well, everything is connected and we
• 3:01
  say yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 3:02
  Yeah but we don't necessarily tap into it or believe it and
• 3:05
  that's a huge mistake on our part because we should we
• 3:08
  actually should be believing it because it's true and it's real
• 3:12
  and it is something to give us comfort that we are all
• 3:17
  connected you know when you break down the parts in and
• 3:23
  start to really look at it, you know scientists have told us
• 3:26
  there's the Stardust in our veins.
• 3:30
  There's in our bodies are Mystery are chemical Composites
• 3:34
  of our body have Stardust in it. How is that possible?
• 3:38
  Let me when you just stop and pause and you think about it.
• 3:40
  You go. Wow.
• 3:41
  Okay wait we actually are connected in every way that you
• 3:46
  can be connected. We are connected.
• 3:49
  We just have to choose to see it.
• 3:51
  Feel it and act into it. Now I take that into a way of
• 3:56
  spirituality. I take that to the fact that the
• 3:59
  Universe has you know So many components that we don't
• 4:03
  understand, and the Beautiful part is, we don't know what we
• 4:06
  don't know. And when you can sit there and
• 4:09
  know that without having to pass judgment on it or feel bad about
• 4:14
  it or put meaning into it in a negative way, I love that, I
• 4:20
  don't know what, I don't know, because that means there's so
• 4:22
  much to learn and every day of opportunities to learn everyday
• 4:25
  of opportunities, to grow everyday have opportunities to
• 4:29
  find more reason to recognize that we are.
• 4:32
  Nected. Go out there and be curious
• 4:35
  about it. Find your version of
• 4:38
  connectedness. So having gone through many
• 4:41
  iterations in my life. I was raised very religious and
• 4:47
  and then I also developed a spirituality, peace to my life.
• 4:52
  And now I kind of just take on a combination of lots of things
• 4:57
  and make them my own, but I do know one thing.
• 5:01
  I feel completely connected to Nature, I feel completely
• 5:05
  connected to other people. I feel completely connected to
• 5:09
  the universe, and I believe that there is no way around that.
• 5:16
  I believe that whether I decide to be connected and have an
• 5:20
  awareness of it, or I decide to not believe that I'm still
• 5:26
  connected. So, I have developed My version
• 5:31
  of faith. I have developed that.
• 5:33
  Something has my back. I have developed that.
• 5:37
  Something thinks In a bigger way than I could ever think.
• 5:43
  Because my puny human brain can't possibly understand all
• 5:47
  these different levels of everything that's happened.
• 5:50
  Hell, I couldn't, I couldn't possibly explain 99.9 percent of
• 5:56
  the stuff that we see and have and do, I don't know, and I
• 6:02
  don't need to know what I do need to know is if I believe,
• 6:05
  and I have faith in energy and I have faith in something, higher
• 6:10
  whatever, Version of that, maybe scientific spiritual religious.
• 6:16
  I know, I can tap into that when I need it and I think that, that
• 6:21
  is where we have to focus, and some of you may be saying, but
• 6:25
  she's not talking about God. Some of you may be saying, well,
• 6:28
  why are you leaving that piece out?
• 6:31
  Because there are lots of different people listening to
• 6:34
  this. And I want everyone to
• 6:35
  understand. You can have your version that
• 6:38
  works for you. And it's very much like
• 6:42
  everything else in the world, you know, we might make a soup
• 6:46
  and we make this great soup. And we think this is the best
• 6:48
  soup, but we put it on the counter and people take a bowl
• 6:51
  of it. And they say do you have any
• 6:53
  salt because they want to add some more salt and somebody
• 6:55
  else's all, you know, I need some pepper and then they put
• 6:58
  pepper in and if you're in my house and somebody's getting
• 7:01
  some hot sauce to put in it because that always happens and
• 7:05
  putting other stuff into the pot.
• 7:07
  Makes that soup right? For them.
• 7:09
  Well that too. Is what faith is like, you have
• 7:12
  to you have the pot that the Universe gives us but you have
• 7:15
  to figure out what makes it right for you.
• 7:17
  And when you do that and you rely on that that helps you in
• 7:22
  the whole dynamic of stress, it helps you understand.
• 7:26
  You are not alone. It helps.
• 7:28
  You understand that you can tap into something else and not
• 7:32
  forget that you are not by yourself.
• 7:35
  Please do, you know, don't sit there and forget and say by
• 7:39
  myself and by myself. If no, you're not, you're tapped
• 7:42
  into a larger system. But having an idea of what that
• 7:46
  is for yourself before you need, it is always super useful, and
• 7:51
  it's always, very productive to be able to have it to call on
• 7:56
  when you need it. So, that's why this conversation
• 8:00
  went in the direction that it did, because I want you to come
• 8:02
  up with something, whatever it might be, have your version of
• 8:06
  it. And again, there is no right or
• 8:08
  wrong in this. Some people may believe there's
• 8:11
  a right or wrong and that's okay.
• 8:13
  That's for them. But wherever you are whatever
• 8:16
  you come up with for you, that's what's right for you just like
• 8:19
  the pot of soup on the counter and adding all the accoutrements
• 8:23
  that you want to put into it. That's what it looks like.
• 8:26
  Just like everything else out there.
• 8:28
  You always make it your own. You always have something that's
• 8:31
  Uniquely Yours. So have something that's
• 8:34
  Uniquely Yours and make it work. And hopefully you guys got
• 8:37
  something from this series. This And you understand a little
• 8:41
  bit more about the stress that shows up in your world and how
• 8:44
  to fix it. And I want you all to know how
• 8:48
  much I appreciate you and doing all of this for you.
• 8:50
  And I hope that you guys have an amazing blessed day and I will
• 8:55
  see you all tomorrow. Bye.
