  Hey, everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So let's talk about giving ourselves pep talks, you know,
• 0:34
  since we are the ones that are with ourselves all the time.
• 0:38
  It's an asset to yourself to be able to give yourself a pep
• 0:41
  talk, to really be able to kick your own butt when you need to.
• 0:45
  And say I've had enough of this or hey, you know what?
• 0:47
  There are great things out there.
• 0:49
  Or just that little bit. Like it doesn't matter what
• 0:52
  other people think they do. I know this is what's on my
• 0:56
  heart. This is what the universe and
• 0:58
  God want me to do. This is why I'm going to do it.
• 1:01
  And sometimes you have to give yourself your own pep talk in
• 1:04
  order to make it work. Because.
• 1:06
  Not everybody is going to be on board with giving you a pep
• 1:09
  talk. In fact, most people are not
• 1:10
  going to be on board with giving you a pep talk.
• 1:14
  Obviously, if you're coming here, you know this is a place
• 1:17
  to come and get your pep talks. But here's the thing.
• 1:20
  Most people don't have someone in their life that will lift
• 1:24
  them up and give them a pep talk when they need it.
• 1:27
  They'll give them all the reasons why it couldn't work.
• 1:30
  They'll give them the reasons why they should be cautious.
• 1:32
  They'll give them the reasons why they have to think about it.
• 1:35
  I always love that one. You need to.
• 1:36
  Think about it. And there is value in some of
• 1:39
  that pausing in the stage of laying things out.
• 1:43
  But when you're at the stage where you need someone to lift
• 1:46
  you up and give you that little oomph, the last thing you need
• 1:49
  is to hear that kind of stuff. And so that's why it's so
• 1:53
  important to remember you are your own best asset in this.
• 1:57
  You are with yourself all the time.
• 1:58
  You listen to yourself all the time.
• 2:01
  And you know, that's why that the mind chatter and the
• 2:03
  internal dialogue is so important to recognize who's
• 2:07
  driving your bus. What is that driver saying to
• 2:09
  the cast of characters that are on the bus with you.
• 2:13
  And if you are not paying attention to that and it's not.
• 2:16
  Filling you up and it's emptying you out each and every single
• 2:20
  day. And it can be detrimental to
• 2:22
  your wellbeing if you do not make sure you understand what
• 2:27
  that conversation is. So point is, you have the
• 2:31
  ability to give yourself a pep talk.
• 2:33
  So what do you say to yourself when you need a pep talk?
• 2:36
  What are the phrases that you're going to go to?
• 2:38
  Have you ever sat and wrote them down?
• 2:40
  Have you ever written out a sheet of paper that you can read
• 2:43
  or end up having, you know, recording?
• 2:46
  Recorded so you can listen to it.
• 2:48
  See, that's my favorite trick is I will do these things, I record
• 2:51
  them, and then I listen back to myself.
• 2:54
  If I'm in a fantastic state, I'll record a message to myself.
• 2:58
  It's in my phone. And then I can listen to it when
• 3:00
  I'm in a crappy state and I can hear it in my voice where I
• 3:04
  meant it the day I was having a great day.
• 3:06
  Because we all have good days and we all have off days and we
• 3:09
  all have really bad days. And what do we do?
• 3:13
  Well, we have to pull ourselves out of it.
• 3:16
  And the only way to do that? You can have somebody else give
• 3:19
  you a hug. Ultimately, we decide what we
• 3:23
  believe, and that's why it's so important to be able to give
• 3:26
  yourself the pep talk. Understanding that you hold the
• 3:30
  cards, you hold the language, you hold the magic.
• 3:33
  When it comes to that stuff, Nobody else can do it if they
• 3:36
  can give you the best pep talk in the whole world.
• 3:38
  But if you decide you're going to feel like crap, then you're
• 3:40
  going to feel like crap no matter what they tell you.
• 3:43
  That's just the essence of it and no matter.
• 3:46
  What you do and how much you do it, how many times you do it,
• 3:49
  there is nothing more important than choosing to be your
• 3:54
  advocate and what you're going to say.
• 3:55
  So homework for this is going to be short and sweet and right to
• 3:59
  the point. You're going to sit down and
• 4:01
  you're going to write out OK, what are the things I want to
• 4:04
  hear or remember or tell myself when I need a pep talk for
• 4:10
  myself? Now you can have a list of music
• 4:12
  that you want to play can create your own.
• 4:15
  You know soundtrack that you listen to all the time.
• 4:17
  You can change it up. Just like when you go to a
• 4:19
  workout class. They have their soundtracks.
• 4:21
  You can have your favorite quotes that you read and record
• 4:25
  in your voice. Your voice is incredibly
• 4:27
  important, so don't forget that part.
• 4:29
  Please make sure you actually remember to record yourself.
• 4:34
  With that you can write them out in your own handwriting.
• 4:37
  And then? Read them back every day you can
• 4:40
  write them on your bathroom mirror, whatever it is.
• 4:43
  Get yourself the pep talk. Get yourself that stuff that
• 4:47
  elevates you, brings you up to a different vibration, a different
• 4:51
  energy. And know you are directly
• 4:53
  connected when you do those things because that's where the
• 4:56
  magic is. All right, my friends, I hope
• 4:59
  you have a blessed day and get on this and I will see you
• 5:01
  tomorrow. Bye.
