  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  And yes, I am late putting the podcast up today because I was
• 0:34
  completely consumed by an idea I had.
• 0:38
  I started very early this morning and I sat down and I
• 0:42
  said to myself, OK, I'm just going to start to play this out
• 0:45
  on paper. I'm going to play the what if
• 0:47
  game. What if I looked at it this way?
• 0:49
  Or what if I looked at it this way?
• 0:50
  And before you know it, it was about 10 minutes ago.
• 0:55
  And I was like, Oh my gosh, I didn't open the chickens.
• 0:57
  And part of the funny part was I was completely consumed by said
• 1:00
  idea. And I knew I had to open the
• 1:03
  chickens, but I knew it was raining.
• 1:05
  So I was like, oh, they're going to be late going out anyway
• 1:08
  because they have the little auto door to open them up.
• 1:10
  So they'll just be in their run if they want to go out.
• 1:13
  But when it rains, some of them, they just don't like to walk
• 1:15
  out. They'll stay up for, you know,
• 1:17
  there's still probably like four of them in here still hanging
• 1:20
  out and the rest of them have finally gone away.
• 1:22
  But the point is being consumed by an idea, and I love when that
• 1:28
  happens. So I try not to break that if I
• 1:31
  can. So meaning if I get into that
• 1:34
  headspace where an idea is in really a deep state of
• 1:38
  excitement and flowing out of me, I try really hard not to
• 1:41
  break that because I want to see what it's going to bring to me.
• 1:44
  And I knew today that, you know, it's Christmas Eve.
• 1:47
  I wasn't coaching. It was.
• 1:50
  It's just that, you know, the holidays are right upon us.
• 1:52
  I don't have anything on my schedule and last night, which
• 1:56
  is the point of this whole thing, before I went to bed, I
• 1:59
  got into this very centered headspace and said I'm entering
• 2:04
  into the time. The week between Christmas and
• 2:08
  New Year's is always the time when I start to get my planning
• 2:12
  head on, where I start to do my goal, setting my vision,
• 2:14
  boarding, all of that. To me, it's kind of a very
• 2:16
  sacred time. Everything up until this point,
• 2:19
  I'm working on finishing things, putting things out there.
• 2:22
  Like last night, I'm going to be out speaking in January and my
• 2:27
  assistant and I were on the phone and we were figuring out
• 2:30
  flights. And it was like, you know, we
• 2:33
  should have, we both not plan to do it at that point in time, but
• 2:36
  we were like, all right, let's just get this done right now and
• 2:38
  cross it off our list. And we sat and we did the
• 2:40
  flights. We figured out where my
• 2:42
  itinerary, where I was going to go, what I needed to do.
• 2:45
  And we went through all of that stuff.
• 2:47
  And then, you know, lo and behold, here I am this morning
• 2:51
  and I'm like, OK, I, I'm in this creative flow partly because
• 2:56
  yesterday it was able to release all those fine little details
• 3:00
  that I knew I had to finish out to feel good.
• 3:03
  Then get into that headspace last night of saying, OK, I'm
• 3:06
  going into my like, you know, possibility framework.
• 3:09
  I'm in the possibility framework now.
• 3:12
  And I took that into my head before I went to bed.
• 3:15
  And then when I woke up, it was like I had planted all those
• 3:18
  seeds and all of a sudden I had sprouts.
• 3:21
  And then once I saw the sprouts, I was, oh, what is that?
• 3:24
  And I jumped on it. Now, the point of telling you
• 3:27
  all of this is being able to do that before you go to bed,
• 3:31
  inviting it in, being excited about it, and then doing that
• 3:35
  consistently. Now, it doesn't always happen as
• 3:38
  quickly as this did. Believe me.
• 3:40
  Sometimes it takes me weeks to get it going.
• 3:44
  But I knew if I had the ability to clean up all the other stuff
• 3:49
  that I that was going on, I would be able to really get in
• 3:52
  the headspace quicker. And apparently she agrees with
• 3:56
  me because she is like talking up a storm.
• 3:58
  I wonder if it's the rain or if it's that I'm in her space.
• 4:01
  So in any event, sometimes it takes longer.
• 4:06
  This one was just very quick. And sometimes when they're quick
• 4:09
  and they come out, I feel like they have a life of their own.
• 4:13
  They now, and I know I've said before, I I believe ideas are
• 4:18
  alive and they show up and they land with you because they
• 4:22
  believe you can actualize them. And this one came in like a
• 4:25
  force. So I was like, OK, this must be
• 4:28
  like, you know, a cross boom. It feels me, I feel it.
• 4:32
  We're going to work on this together and we're going to get
• 4:34
  it going. So the point I want to make to
• 4:37
  you today is take this time and invite in the ideas.
• 4:42
  Invite in possibility. Just sit and dwell in
• 4:45
  possibility. What are all the possibilities
• 4:48
  for me this year? What are all the things I could
• 4:51
  potentially be interested in, want to do, want to see, want to
• 4:56
  create? Whatever it might be, invite the
• 4:58
  possibilities in because living in a state of possibility is
• 5:02
  grand for me. I think it's just like, wow, OK.
• 5:06
  It's total pure creation, pure potential, pure possibility.
• 5:11
  And when you're in it, it gives you such a lasting sense of
• 5:16
  excitement. At least it does for me.
• 5:18
  So I invite you to join me on this journey this week because
• 5:20
  I'm sure these podcasts are going to be very spontaneous
• 5:23
  this week because I'm in big time creative head.
• 5:27
  So I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.
• 5:32
  For me, this is Christmas Eve. For others who celebrate
• 5:34
  Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Happy Christmas Eve and I will
• 5:39
  see you all tomorrow. Have a blessed day my friends,
• 5:42
  Bye.
