• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Whoop. So today we are talking about,
• 0:33
  pumping yourself up, you know, I think there's nothing more
• 0:37
  important than being your own cheerleader because if you wait
• 0:39
  for other people to cheer you up, or cheer you on or, you
• 0:43
  know, pump you up. So to speak, you might be
• 0:46
  waiting a while because everybody's so entrenched in
• 0:49
  themselves and what's going on with themselves.
• 0:52
  It's very hard for them to recognize what's going on
• 0:56
  outside of themselves. And when we have these
• 0:57
  conversations often, wait, We all want someone to cheer us on.
• 1:02
  We all want someone to give us the attaboy.
• 1:05
  I know myself. I'm a huge gold star.
• 1:07
  Girl, meaning I want the star, I want the sticker, I want to be
• 1:11
  able to, you know, know that I am being valued if you if that
• 1:17
  makes sense. But years ago I had to recognize
• 1:21
  that the more I wanted that from other people.
• 1:24
  The more disappointment I regularly took and it was kind
• 1:28
  of disturbing when I first started recognizing it because I
• 1:30
  I was like, I don't understand. I give other people those things
• 1:33
  I say, then why can't other people say them to me and very
• 1:38
  young resourceful question, by the way, I don't recommend using
• 1:41
  it but that's what was going on in my head.
• 1:44
  So, I had to learn that those questions that I was asking
• 1:48
  myself, while they definitely were not good.
• 1:50
  They definitely were not resourceful.
• 1:52
  They weren't giving me what I needed.
• 1:54
  And I was getting more and more frustrated.
• 1:56
  Over time, I was getting to the point where I was like, this is
• 1:59
  ridiculous. I am Waiting for something that
• 2:02
  never comes. I'm waiting for this.
• 2:04
  This great thing that doesn't show up and I had to figure out
• 2:10
  that I had to be my own cheerleader.
• 2:12
  I had to be the person that was going to cheer myself on.
• 2:15
  I had to be the person that was going to take the time to pause
• 2:19
  and recognize that. So I will tell you regularly in
• 2:24
  my in myself, I do that practice, I cheer myself, on I
• 2:29
  tell myself, Well, that was really good and you might laugh
• 2:33
  about that. But it makes a huge difference.
• 2:35
  I also have, I'm not even exaggerating about this.
• 2:40
  I keep add a timer that is just to track my wins so that I can
• 2:44
  count them all and I can celebrate them.
• 2:46
  Give myself stickers. Those of you who know, me know
• 2:49
  that I do that regularly. I love sticker books and
• 2:53
  awarding myself with stickers because I think it's super
• 2:55
  important to recognize your wins, track your wins and do
• 2:59
  that. And the book is a great tool.
• 3:02
  However, one of my extremely useful tools is to sit there and
• 3:07
  have conversation in my head with myself and say, you know
• 3:11
  what? This was a good move, great job.
• 3:14
  Like I give myself that high five and I speak it to myself
• 3:18
  because it makes you feel good. Whether you're doing it for
• 3:21
  yourself or not is irrelevant when you give yourself that
• 3:25
  little bit of extra energy and be your own cheerleader, It
• 3:29
  works. So putting aside the fact that
• 3:32
  you're looking for externally can be hard work because you
• 3:36
  want someone to tell you want someone to notice.
• 3:38
  But here's what's interesting about this, the more you do it
• 3:41
  for yourself, the more you beat, you know, be your own
• 3:44
  cheerleader. What ends up happening is people
• 3:46
  start to notice because your attitude has changed, you're not
• 3:50
  necessarily looking externally, and I am a big believer that
• 3:54
  everything we need is within us. We are sent here as complete and
• 3:59
  total entities that have everything we need.
• 4:03
  We just have to learn to use it and we rely on the Unseen forces
• 4:08
  of the universe. God, whatever you would like to
• 4:11
  choose to call it mother nature. We rely on those and we use them
• 4:17
  in a way that helps us be for ourselves up.
• 4:20
  So when I focus on positive energy, I get more positive
• 4:23
  energy when I focus on the good stuff that I have going on, I
• 4:27
  get more of the good stuff. It's like, Tracks.
• 4:29
  Like and this is all part of that greater good process.
• 4:33
  So, putting yourself into the position where you recognize
• 4:37
  that you rely on the Unseen forces, you recognize that the
• 4:42
  Universe. God has your back and is putting
• 4:45
  things in your path to help you grow and transform yourself.
• 4:50
  It's an amazing feeling. When you start to say I can do
• 4:54
  this with myself, I don't need anybody else to do this.
• 4:57
  I can just sell Break by myself. It is an absolutely cool feeling
• 5:02
  and if you've never done it, please try it.
• 5:05
  I promise you. You will be blown away by how
• 5:07
  awesome it is. So hopefully today, you will
• 5:10
  find many things to give yourself that high five.
• 5:13
  Attaboy that. Oh, I got this down.
• 5:18
  It Just Energy about you and I hope that you find a way to
• 5:21
  celebrate yourself because I promise it's so worth it.
• 5:24
  All right guys I'll see you tomorrow and I hope you have a
• 5:27
  very blessed day. Bye.
