• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:29
  Some fun news over. Here had a friend who was giving
• 0:32
  away five of his hands so we were able to take them in and
• 0:36
  now we're trying to get them assimilated into the group which
• 0:40
  I thought was kind of an interesting thing because we can
• 0:42
  talk about how hard it is to assimilate new things in because
• 0:46
  it's our time of the year when we're trying to do that for
• 0:48
  ourselves they are definitely struggling to figure out what
• 0:54
  the rules are in the hierarchy of the group here.
• 0:57
  All is good though, nobody's hurt.
• 0:59
  So that's all good thing. The chicken world is very
• 1:01
  interesting. They like their habits, and I
• 1:03
  just always loved to use this as a metaphor with you guys.
• 1:06
  Because boy, do we like our own habits and it's hard to start
• 1:09
  them off. So, here we are.
• 1:10
  New year, starting off new habits, trying to get them into
• 1:14
  new habits. But right now, they're not
• 1:16
  habits, quite yet. We're still stuck in the old
• 1:18
  patterns of. So, you know, we talked about
• 1:21
  setting it up, being patient with yourself yesterday.
• 1:23
  And here's a big piece of this that I want to add in today.
• 1:27
  This is all about your level of Of commitment before you go in
• 1:32
  because it's really easy to keep on track when you want to do
• 1:37
  something and you're excited about it.
• 1:38
  But how you handle it? When you don't want to do it is
• 1:42
  the biggest issue. You have to get yourself into a
• 1:45
  place where you are committed before you actually get to the
• 1:49
  place of not wanting to do it. So, in other words, you have to
• 1:52
  stop and pause and ask yourself. Okay, what am I going to do?
• 1:56
  How am I going to handle this? When I don't want to get out of
• 1:59
  bed when I don't. Wake up that time of the morning
• 2:02
  when I don't want to work out when I don't want to do the
• 2:04
  paperwork that I said I was going to do, how are you going
• 2:07
  to handle it in those moments? And that's the defining Factor,
• 2:11
  you need to know that going into it.
• 2:12
  I don't care what anybody else tells you I'm telling you from
• 2:17
  years of experience of doing this.
• 2:19
  If you don't have a plan going into something for how you will
• 2:23
  handle it in those moments, and you get that situation
• 2:27
  straightened out in your head actually before Or you're in the
• 2:31
  emotion of that, you will fail at it.
• 2:34
  So think of it like this, it's really hard for me to figure
• 2:38
  something out when I'm, in an emotional state, because as you
• 2:40
  guys have heard me say, many times when emotions go up
• 2:43
  intelligence goes down. So when you're emotional, when
• 2:46
  you're frustrated, when you're tired, when you don't want to
• 2:48
  wake up, when you're lying in bed and you know, you're
• 2:50
  supposed to get up and you're trying to figure out a solution
• 2:53
  at that point and you're already in the emotion of not wanting to
• 2:56
  do it, you will not come up with a solution.
• 2:58
  You will just stick to the old pattern because The easiest
• 3:01
  thing to default to what you need to do, is have the plan
• 3:04
  before that happens. So you have to tell yourself
• 3:09
  what that looks like. So when I first started walking
• 3:11
  because you, anybody knows me knows, I'm obsessed with
• 3:14
  walking, I love walking, I love getting, there's nothing more
• 3:18
  exciting to me than getting my Fitbit at the end of the year.
• 3:21
  Totals and I can see it. And I had over 5,500,000,
• 3:25
  something steps this year and I was like, wow, that's awesome.
• 3:28
  I have a new logo for 6 million for next year.
• 3:30
  I know that sounds crazy but for me walking is just it's it's
• 3:35
  just something that clears. My head makes me super creative
• 3:37
  keeps me on target with my clients.
• 3:39
  It just it just works really well when I'm talking to people.
• 3:41
  So I walk a lot when I first started, I did not walk a lot.
• 3:46
  It was something I needed to do to be healthy.
• 3:49
  I needed to get myself out going and at the time, worst case
• 3:53
  scenario, I because I needed to lose weight at that time.
• 3:56
  I had plantar, fasciitis and my foot her all the freaking time.
• 4:01
  Could not get it to stop. So my strategy was I'm going to
• 4:04
  walk myself through it and I told myself this during the day,
• 4:08
  I'm just going to go. I had the plan, it was all great
• 4:11
  and the morning when I would wake up and my foot was frozen
• 4:13
  and I didn't want to get up and walk.
• 4:15
  I was like, I just don't want to do this and my head talk to my
• 4:19
  coach about it, and it was just like, you know, you got to power
• 4:21
  through it. But what I discovered for myself
• 4:24
  at that point was making the decisions in those moments by
• 4:28
  myself with the emotion that I Was currently in that was
• 4:31
  dysfunctional was not getting me anywhere.
• 4:33
  So I had to have a plan. So what I started to do was
• 4:36
  write myself a note and make on the piece of paper, the
• 4:41
  commitment big in Sharpie and then I would put that note
• 4:45
  inside my sneakers and put my sneakers on the side table.
• 4:48
  So when I went to look at the clock to see what time it was or
• 4:51
  you know, rolled over because I don't really set a clock.
• 4:54
  I just kind of wake up when I say I'm going to wake up as
• 4:56
  weird as that may sound but I would wake up that time and
• 4:59
  there's my sneakers. Hit me with the note in it that
• 5:01
  says you made a commitment to yourself to get out of bed.
• 5:05
  Well, I mean, come on what am I going to do in that moment, not
• 5:09
  get my ass out of bed. Very, very poignant to see the
• 5:13
  my handwriting telling me you made a commitment to yourself
• 5:16
  and it worked every single time and my sneakers were just
• 5:19
  looking at me, you know, and I drew little little smiley faces
• 5:23
  right on the tips in the front, you know, where the little
• 5:25
  rubber comes up over your toes. I drew a little smiley faces.
• 5:28
  So my sneakers were just looking at me and I'm like, I'm getting
• 5:31
  up. So have a plan figure out what
• 5:34
  it is, put it together now so you can succeed.
• 5:36
  All right, my friends, I will see you tomorrow and I hope you
• 5:39
  have a very blessed day. Bye.
