• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So today we are talking about
• 0:33
  taking on a whole new identity of whatever you want to be.
• 0:39
  So what do I mean by this? Well, it comes down to sometimes
• 0:43
  you want to try on new things. And when you try on new things
• 0:47
  in a group, like let's say you try on things in the store where
• 0:49
  you're going shopping, you're not always going to keep the
• 0:51
  things that you're trying on. You put them on.
• 0:53
  Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
• 0:55
  You put them back. And you probably have heard me
• 0:58
  use that analogy before, but let's say you're taking on a
• 1:01
  completely new identity. And this new identity is
• 1:05
  uncomfortable. Like, you want to create
• 1:07
  something for yourself. Like when I did this podcasting
• 1:10
  thing, this was a whole new identity for me.
• 1:13
  It wasn't something I'd ever done before.
• 1:15
  I was used to doing one-on-one coaching sessions, you know,
• 1:19
  writing books, talking from the stage.
• 1:21
  But each one of those was new when I took that on.
• 1:24
  But this was something that was like.
• 1:26
  It's easy to jump up and, you know, think, oh, I can do
• 1:30
  something once or twice. I can pour into something like
• 1:34
  writing a book for a period of time.
• 1:35
  But doing this podcast was a bigger shift for me because it
• 1:39
  was an everyday thing and I really had to focus on, you
• 1:43
  know, the the parts of me that would be consistent to make that
• 1:46
  happen. So when you take on something
• 1:49
  new, like right now, I'm taking on this new identity of doing
• 1:53
  video trainings. And I'm working on putting the
• 1:56
  classes together and now that my studio is officially finished
• 2:01
  and I can move in, we've got some things we're waiting for to
• 2:04
  have shipped in. But you know, now that I can
• 2:07
  move into that, I'm stepping into that role where I'm going
• 2:10
  to start doing those things and. Some of the things that will be
• 2:14
  a part of that require a new identity shift, require me
• 2:18
  seeing myself differently than I may have seen myself in the
• 2:21
  past, especially when it comes to putting together classes.
• 2:27
  So I have to stop and pause and I have to say to myself, okay,
• 2:31
  I'm going to take on this whole new identity.
• 2:34
  I've got to decide who I want to be in those moments.
• 2:36
  I've got to decide how I'm going to show up.
• 2:39
  Who am I going to act like to get those things done?
• 2:42
  Because that is a massive endeavor.
• 2:44
  And most of the time when you're taking on new identities, they
• 2:47
  are massive endeavors. And you have to like step into
• 2:51
  the role mentally and emotionally before you actually
• 2:55
  step into the physical role and doing it ahead of time.
• 2:59
  Like laying the stones on the path to say, OK, this is it.
• 3:03
  Like, let's say you're applying for a new job.
• 3:06
  You have to see yourself in that role.
• 3:09
  Sure, you can sit there and you can go through.
• 3:11
  I don't know if I'm going to be good at all the things that they
• 3:13
  want me to be good at. Yes, that's very natural.
• 3:16
  But you have to see yourself in that role, being successful in
• 3:20
  order to have that take place. If you can do that, you're going
• 3:25
  to be 1 exponentially better at being able to get yourself to
• 3:29
  the role manifesting it, focusing on it 1000%.
• 3:34
  Yes, I said that if you focus on seeing yourself in the role
• 3:38
  happy, and you have excited emotions about that more than
• 3:42
  you have fearful emotions about that, you start that manifesting
• 3:47
  process immediately amped up. It's you're always manifesting,
• 3:52
  but you start it more amped up when you go into it that way.
• 3:55
  So it's incredibly important to. Pay attention to all these
• 3:58
  little facets. But today what I'm really
• 4:01
  focused on is just being able to adopt the identity.
• 4:04
  So I've been piece by piece taking my time thinking about
• 4:08
  okay, how is this going to look for me internally?
• 4:13
  What do I want to be? How do I want to show up?
• 4:15
  What does this teacher want to say?
• 4:17
  And it pushes me because there are lots of things.
• 4:20
  That I try to stay very middle of the road on often and such as
• 4:25
  spirituality. And I have very, very deep
• 4:29
  beliefs on it. But I understand the people that
• 4:31
  I'm meeting may have different beliefs on that and that's
• 4:34
  totally OK. But in a class, I can put those
• 4:38
  there and then you know if someone's interested because
• 4:42
  they're moving towards the class, and then you can unleash
• 4:47
  all of your thoughts because that's what they came there for.
• 4:50
  So it really is a shift in being like okay.
• 4:53
  I can say this, I can put that together, I can teach this, I
• 4:57
  can talk about people that are on the metaphysical side, or I
• 5:01
  can talk about some different aspects of this.
• 5:04
  So what's so important to remember in all of this?
• 5:07
  What's so incredibly important to remember in each and every
• 5:10
  step of this when developing an identity?
• 5:12
  It's that you're excited? You got to be excited.
• 5:15
  And it's okay to be a little fearful.
• 5:17
  In fact, it's normal to be fearful, have trepidation, have
• 5:21
  some, you know, bouts of anxiety about doing it because that's
• 5:25
  normal. That's what normal human beings
• 5:27
  do. But what's not normal is the
• 5:31
  fact that you should stop and, like, let it paralyze you.
• 5:35
  That's not great. That's not great at all.
• 5:38
  And sadly, as I even said, it was normal or not normal.
• 5:44
  That that's happening more and more and that's becoming the
• 5:46
  norm. And so that's why I wanted to
• 5:48
  talk about this today. We are here for great things, my
• 5:51
  friends. We are here to do great things
• 5:53
  and show up in a great way. So own that identity, get into
• 5:58
  that mindset, shift your identity to what it is that you
• 6:02
  want to create, seeing it as if it's already done.
• 6:04
  And own that persona and that personality.
• 6:07
  Alright my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see
• 6:09
  you tomorrow. Bye.
