  Hey, everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we're talking about having an abundance mindset.
• 0:36
  And First things first, I want to say if you have never worked
• 0:41
  on having an abundance mindset before, well welcome to the
• 0:44
  world of Good Morning from the Chicken Coop because we're going
• 0:46
  to be doing a lot of that this year.
• 0:49
  And the first thing that I want to kind of introduce everybody
• 0:53
  to this with is having an abundance mindset does not mean
• 0:57
  that you don't run into challenges with yourself and
• 0:59
  that you have to essentially argue with yourself in your
• 1:03
  state of fear. I mean, I can't stress enough,
• 1:06
  and I know I've said this multiple times for anyone who's
• 1:08
  listened before, that our intention as human beings is to
• 1:15
  always grow and be better. I really do believe that.
• 1:18
  And sometimes we run into fear. Sometimes we have issues where,
• 1:24
  you know, anxiety shows up. That is normal, That is human,
• 1:27
  and you are not broken. And you should not be chastised
• 1:30
  for it. You should not be picked on for
• 1:32
  it. You should be acknowledged for
• 1:34
  the fact that you recognize that those emotions are trying to
• 1:37
  help you. Maybe they're trying to
• 1:38
  communicate that you should get out of what you're doing,
• 1:42
  whether it's a relationship or a job or whatever it might be.
• 1:46
  It it's emotions come because they're trying to give us growth
• 1:49
  and an abundance mindset. Building an abundance mindset is
• 1:54
  really a part of that is recognizing when those other
• 1:58
  emotions show up, that you have fear, that you have those things
• 2:01
  and you have to work on them to move past them.
• 2:04
  So I want to let you know, first of all, as you go into this new
• 2:09
  year, it's OK to be scared. It's OK to be uncomfortable.
• 2:13
  It's OK to be nervous. It's just not OK to stay there.
• 2:17
  It's it's the reason why you want to shift so that you can
• 2:21
  get to a higher ground of abundance, mindset and thinking
• 2:27
  the that you have to do that without fear is ridiculous.
• 2:30
  Anyone who tells you you have to live fearless is full of shit
• 2:34
  and lying to you. I'm sorry to be bold about it
• 2:36
  and say it, but it is. You cannot ditch that part of
• 2:40
  the world. So the second piece is, when you
• 2:43
  go into it, are you going to have to challenge yourself to
• 2:46
  think abundantly over and over again?
• 2:48
  Yes, absolutely. It doesn't.
• 2:50
  It's not something that we as human beings do regularly very
• 2:53
  well. And we have to teach ourselves
• 2:55
  to keep doing it. We have to work on it.
• 2:57
  We have to put ourselves into a position where we work on it and
• 3:00
  we have to know that it's it's a growth mindset.
• 3:05
  It's something you have to cultivate and it doesn't just
• 3:09
  happen overnight. So our whole lives we we spend
• 3:13
  time our whole lives having these these thoughts about about
• 3:19
  whether we should do something or not do something.
• 3:21
  We get all these opinions of other people and we have all
• 3:23
  this stuff that triggers us. And guess I mean quite honestly
• 3:27
  it a lot of it comes down to the fact that you know what we've
• 3:31
  been haven't been surrounded by people who have abundance
• 3:33
  mindset. So then we don't have abundance
• 3:35
  mindset and we follow that which other people have given us.
• 3:39
  You know the one of the very first podcasts that I talked
• 3:42
  about when I first started this was the thoughts we borrowed
• 3:45
  from other people. And abundance is a big thing
• 3:48
  that gets borrowed from other people.
• 3:50
  If you lived with someone who lived in scarcity, you start off
• 3:54
  you know, recognizing scarcity immediately and you will live in
• 3:58
  scarcity. It's really important to make
• 4:00
  sure that you understand those thoughts that you have borrowed
• 4:05
  from other people are not the ones that you want to keep, and
• 4:08
  you have to really look at yourself repeatedly.
• 4:12
  This has to become a process of cultivation.
• 4:15
  It has to become a process of and a willingness to look at it
• 4:20
  over and over and over and say, well, is this a choice of, you
• 4:23
  know, abundance, or is this a choice of scarcity?
• 4:25
  Is this something I want to focus on, or is this something
• 4:28
  that I want to cultivate? Is this something I want to let
• 4:30
  go of? Is this serving me or is it not
• 4:32
  serving me? And by asking questions about
• 4:35
  these feelings and emotions and thoughts, you start to recognize
• 4:40
  that isn't even me. I don't even believe that.
• 4:42
  That's not something that I want to take with me.
• 4:45
  That's not something I want to have.
• 4:47
  I I don't even know where where that came from.
• 4:49
  And I've had to do a lot of that work myself because I had a
• 4:53
  mother who did not live in abundance and I had a father who
• 4:56
  did live in abundance to a point and he but he always had a cap
• 5:02
  on it where it's like, Oh no, we're good but we never got to
• 5:06
  great. And my mother always lived in
• 5:09
  this place of like, oh, you know Debbie Downer where it she was
• 5:14
  afraid of losing things. So I think abundance is
• 5:19
  something that I personally cultivate every single day.
• 5:23
  I think when you put that into your world and you start working
• 5:26
  on it, it changes everything. Like right down to, I know this
• 5:30
  is a silly example, but you know in the winter chickens stop
• 5:34
  laying eggs. Everyone talks about how
• 5:35
  chickens lay fewer eggs in the winter and how they they're not,
• 5:39
  as you know, on point and blah blah blah.
• 5:42
  Well, not mine. I have an abundance mindset with
• 5:45
  them, and right now I'm getting over two dozen eggs a day and
• 5:50
  everyone says you can't cultivate adding new chickens
• 5:52
  into a group that's already fixed.
• 5:54
  Well, I just did that and folded in girls that I got from a
• 5:57
  friend and I didn't have a problem at all.
• 6:00
  So I don't believe in limitations like that.
• 6:03
  I believe in keeping my focus on the abundance.
• 6:05
  Do I have the limiting thoughts? Yes.
• 6:07
  Do I keep them? No.
• 6:09
  And that's what it's all about. So I want you to really think
• 6:12
  about this. Think abundantly, Have the
• 6:14
  thoughts of abundance. Start to feel like do you even
• 6:18
  recognize what abundant thoughts are?
• 6:20
  And we will dive more into this as we go into the year.
• 6:24
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 6:26
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
