• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we are talking about the next decision and whenever
• 0:35
  we start this process and we talk about decisions, we always
• 0:39
  have to think in terms of, you know, where am I in the decision
• 0:42
  making process? Because sometimes it's future.
• 0:45
  Like we're trying to plan for the future as opposed to the
• 0:48
  very next decision I make like should I go pee or do I want to
• 0:52
  have a cup of coffee? So I want to focus on the next
• 0:55
  decision. The next decision that you make
• 0:58
  because this is where patterns come in.
• 1:00
  Is where we get stuck when we put ourselves into these
• 1:04
  repetitive situations. And we make the same decision
• 1:08
  over and over and over again. You know, one of my favorite
• 1:10
  examples of this is a Seinfeld episode because I'm a huge
• 1:13
  Seinfeld fan and there was an episode where George was
• 1:18
  completely disgusted with himself.
• 1:20
  And he said, I'm going to do the opposite of everything that I
• 1:24
  usually do and see what happens, because everything I do is
• 1:27
  normally wrong. So he's sitting in the diner
• 1:29
  with Jerry and Elaine. And he makes the decision
• 1:32
  instead of ordering his normal lunch of whatever.
• 1:35
  I think it was either tuna, I think it's tuna and coffee.
• 1:38
  So he gets egg salad and tea or it may have been the reverse of
• 1:41
  that was something like that and then everything changes.
• 1:46
  Now, it's a gross generalization to say that just by ordering a
• 1:49
  different lunch, you can end up with a completely different
• 1:52
  outcome in your life. However, it is a cumulative of
• 1:56
  those little tiny decisions that make the difference.
• 1:59
  So I want you to start thinking. Getting about the next decision,
• 2:02
  you're going to make and then the next one and the next one.
• 2:04
  And the next one, what clothes are you going to wear?
• 2:07
  How are you going to make small decisions that are different?
• 2:12
  The net, and it's always the very next decision, not the
• 2:14
  future decision, the very next decision, you know, it's the
• 2:19
  finite tiny details that we Overlook every single day.
• 2:24
  Simple things add up. So when you start being able to
• 2:26
  see things differently, you have different things to see.
• 2:30
  And this is part of the rewiring process to be able to do this.
• 2:36
  So yeah, I think she likes that idea to she has a lot to say
• 2:39
  about that. So it's the beginning of
• 2:45
  creating a great mindset and changing one of the most
• 2:49
  important aspects of the human brain.
• 2:51
  Neuroplasticity, so you're changing the patterns, you're
• 2:54
  getting in there and you're legitimately changing what you
• 2:58
  see inside of yourself by doing. Different.
• 3:01
  I've talked before on this podcast about how, you know, we
• 3:04
  do everything the same. We don't realize it, but we do.
• 3:07
  We sit down to eat the same. We usually have our drink in the
• 3:11
  same spot. We want to use the same plates
• 3:14
  and forks, and spoons, and brushing our teeth in the same
• 3:17
  pattern, washing yourself in the shower, always the same.
• 3:21
  So, it's when we try to do different things, we make
• 3:24
  different decisions. All of a sudden, it interrupts
• 3:27
  the pattern and it allows for other things to flow.
• 3:30
  Flow in, because there's a shift, a slight shift albeit,
• 3:34
  but it doesn't make a difference because those little tiny slight
• 3:36
  shifts. Always, always, always add up
• 3:39
  and matter. So I want to throw out there
• 3:42
  that the very next decision you make, how when you're listening
• 3:45
  to this, you could be in the car.
• 3:46
  You could already be at work. It could be.
• 3:49
  Listen, I go to the same coffee every day, I'm going to try
• 3:51
  something different, it could be that I eat the same breakfast.
• 3:53
  Every morning. I'm going to try something
• 3:55
  different. So when I was getting ready to
• 3:57
  come out here this morning, I have a protein shake I think
• 4:01
  I've had a protein shake for breakfast and my people who are
• 4:05
  know, me and regularly, talk to me, know, I'm huge on this and
• 4:10
  this protein shake is something that I don't go without daily
• 4:14
  unless I'm traveling, I don't go without and then I'm desperate
• 4:17
  to seek out where I can find a protein shake that I will like
• 4:20
  but I make it the same way all the time.
• 4:22
  So when I was getting ready for this I was like this is
• 4:24
  interesting. I'm going to make it differently
• 4:26
  today so I decided what can I do?
• 4:28
  That's different. I put 2 tablespoons of peanut.
• 4:30
  Butter. And I was like, wow, this is
• 4:32
  actually good because I don't put peanut butter in it.
• 4:34
  I don't I do the same thing all the time because I like it and
• 4:39
  it gives me certainty. So, my certainty girl thrives in
• 4:42
  that. So she knows, if we're having a
• 4:44
  protein shake, we're going to feel great.
• 4:45
  It's going to be X, Y, and Z to us.
• 4:47
  We're going to feel energized and we're going to be good, but
• 4:50
  I had the protein with the peanut butter and all of a
• 4:54
  sudden it was a completely different meal.
• 4:55
  And I started to think about, oh well, what else can I put in
• 4:58
  here? Maybe I should try cashew
• 4:59
  butter. Maybe To try some chocolate
• 5:02
  meaning like cacao not chocolate bars.
• 5:05
  Although I would do that because, you know, I'm a
• 5:07
  chocolate freak in itself but point being back to the point of
• 5:12
  this podcast is to look at those next decisions, the very next
• 5:17
  ones and try to change them and see how it shifts your day.
• 5:20
  And even if you're in a crappy mood, make a better decision.
• 5:24
  Try little small things that will shift you out think about
• 5:28
  it in terms of the next decision.
• 5:30
  Okay, my friends. I hope you have a blessed day
• 5:32
  and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
