  Favorite happy places her chicken coop, along with all her
• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody, happy July.
• 0:30
  By first, well, we're done with the first half of the year and
• 0:36
  that's always a great time to kind of stop and pause and say.
• 0:39
  Okay, how's it going? Now most of us.
• 0:42
  Stop and pause. And we say what have I gotten
• 0:44
  done? It's always about
• 0:45
  accomplishment, accomplishment, accomplishment and while that
• 0:49
  can be fine to focus on compliments because he'll I'm a,
• 0:53
  you know, an executive coach. And I have to focus on
• 0:57
  accomplishments with lots of people.
• 1:00
  But when I really expand the role that I have, one of the
• 1:04
  things that I look for in myself and in everyone that I work with
• 1:08
  is, you know, who are they being, and are they being the
• 1:12
  person, they choose to be, and are they growing spiritually?
• 1:16
  Are they growing for themselves to be?
• 1:19
  You know, on that emotional plane.
• 1:21
  Are they, are they continuing to step into that level of
• 1:24
  themselves that truly is supposed to be this new version
• 1:27
  of themselves or the true version of themselves as a Of
• 1:30
  people like to say and this is a great time to contemplate.
• 1:35
  This can't express this enough because when we get to these
• 1:38
  markers we all have it. Like we know when you get to
• 1:41
  July, it's kind of Summer and your for most of my listeners,
• 1:45
  some of you. It's the exact opposite because
• 1:47
  you're on the other side of the planet.
• 1:48
  But that's okay. We're talking about, you know,
• 1:50
  for the majority right now, you can use this for where we are on
• 1:55
  the calendar, and doesn't make a difference if it's summer or
• 1:59
  winter, Where You Are. But it's as July here for us, is
• 2:05
  a total kind of like chill out space.
• 2:08
  We get here, we get into summer, we're like thinking of barbecues
• 2:12
  and beaches and family trips and seeing people and let you know
• 2:17
  in down in where I live. It gets so hot.
• 2:20
  We spend a lot of time in the summer, not just going out on
• 2:23
  the water, or to the beaches, but we do spend a lot of time at
• 2:27
  the movies and making puzzles because it gets so hot.
• 2:30
  The afternoons you really can't do much outside, but one of the
• 2:35
  things that it always makes me do this time of year is to sit
• 2:38
  and pause and say, well, if I been the person that I wanted to
• 2:41
  be going this far through the year and am I using my belief
• 2:47
  system that believes in bigger things than just what we see to
• 2:53
  help me cultivate a better side of myself.
• 2:56
  And the reality is that a lot of the times, the answer is no and
• 3:00
  at me, He's shocking for most people to hear that we do this
• 3:04
  but it's true as human beings. We do this constantly where we
• 3:08
  are, not tapping into what we know, and we're not tapping into
• 3:12
  who we want to be. And we're just stuck as my
• 3:15
  mother would say in the grind, and she, but she would say it in
• 3:18
  her accent like, well, back to the grind.
• 3:21
  And I can't tell you how that just makes me sad when I sit
• 3:26
  there and think about the fact that we're not tapping into it
• 3:30
  every single All day, which is probably why I drive my clients
• 3:33
  crazy, with checking in with themselves and how they show up
• 3:36
  and everything else because it's so important to be in that place
• 3:40
  and I drive myself crazy with it.
• 3:42
  So now I'm going to tap you with this this year so far.
• 3:48
  Are you being the person you want to be?
• 3:50
  And I'm not talking just about the doing, you can do the doing,
• 3:53
  let me be very clear about this. Talk about the doing check in
• 3:56
  with yourself and say have I accomplished what I wanted to
• 4:00
  and If the answer is no then say to yourself.
• 4:04
  Okay, well there's a reason for that.
• 4:06
  It's either that you don't want to do it.
• 4:08
  Like you genuinely don't want to do what you saying you're going
• 4:11
  to do, or there's something about how you're showing up that
• 4:15
  within yourself, that's blocking you from it, maybe maybe it's
• 4:19
  just that you feel. You're not the person you need
• 4:22
  to be in order to get the job done.
• 4:24
  But here's the trick to this, you got to stop and ask the
• 4:27
  question. So you really know and sometimes
• 4:31
  We just don't really want to do these things.
• 4:33
  And we're finally honest with ourselves, we can take them off
• 4:35
  the list and move on. And then it's not a to do
• 4:37
  anymore. This case, though, also asked
• 4:40
  the question, have I shown up the way I wanted to show up?
• 4:43
  Have I been doing the things that I said I was going to do
• 4:46
  for myself or for others? Have I been you know if you get
• 4:50
  a lot of you know just that overwhelming sense of
• 4:53
  contribution is in your heart. Did you do the contribution that
• 4:57
  you said you were going to do? Did you volunteer somewhere?
• 5:00
  Did you? Drop off stuff.
• 5:01
  Did you did you make somebody smile everyday, you know,
• 5:04
  simple, little things. One of my very simple little
• 5:07
  things that I love to do is to say, I like to make people smile
• 5:11
  every day. Whether it's with a text
• 5:12
  message, a phone, call a surprise, giving eggs away,
• 5:16
  whatever it might be. I loved, I just love doing that.
• 5:20
  So it's a simple thing for me to say, am I being that person?
• 5:25
  And the answer is yes. Most days.
• 5:27
  I can say yes to some of it Mom. I'm not going to tell you.
• 5:30
  All of it because it's not, but some of it and that feels good
• 5:35
  and that's progression. So that's what you need to look
• 5:38
  at. Okay, really?
• 5:40
  Pour into it for yourself, dig in and see how that first half
• 5:43
  is. And who you were do your
• 5:46
  measuring? Do your gifts of getting the
• 5:49
  look. And remember you still have six
• 5:51
  months in this year, you still have all the time that you need.
• 5:55
  You have more than enough time and you can shift whatever you
• 5:58
  want today. And I hope you have a very A
• 6:00
  blessed July first. See you tomorrow.
• 6:03
  My friends. Bye.
• 6:00
  A blessed July first. See you tomorrow.
• 6:03
  My friends. Bye.
