- 0:23chickens. Hey everybody.
- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30So let's talk about what we do. When we are trying to get a
- 0:36positive outcome to happen in our life and we are in a
- 0:39negative frame of mind, does that sound reasonable to say?
- 0:43I'm going to try to get a positive outcome while I'm in a
- 0:45negative frame of not mine. So some of you might be cracking
- 0:48up laughing, right this minute because it sounds utterly
- 0:50ridiculous. And I know that, but I can't
- 0:54tell you how many times we, as human beings, do that to
- 0:58ourselves, we expect to have Go easy and it doesn't go easy.
- 1:05It immediately shifts us. We start to go down a rabbit
- 1:08hole and we still stay focused on the fact that all the crap
- 1:12that's not working, is not working and we say, oh well I
- 1:16was so positive about it. I thought you know I was wanting
- 1:19to this so positive and better than it up but we're still in a
- 1:22negative frame of mine behind the scenes and we're not getting
- 1:25what we want and nothing is more important than Making sure your
- 1:31frame of mind is in the right place because if you can't hold
- 1:35your frame of mind, if you can't stay in a positive flow of
- 1:40energy, what do you think you're going to attract?
- 1:43Are you going to attract what you want?
- 1:45Are you going to track what you don't want?
- 1:47And so often we end up attracting what we don't want
- 1:51just because we're focused on the wrong things.
- 1:55We're focused on all the stuff that's not going to work.
- 1:58We're focused on all the challenges that could come up.
- 2:01And we're not focused on the outcome that we essentially
- 2:05want. It's become such a habit for
- 2:08people and the use the reasoning of saying, well, I have to be
- 2:13realistic. God, I can't begin to tell you
- 2:16how much. I can't stand that comment.
- 2:18Well, I have to be realistic. Actually that's probably what's
- 2:23causing you to fail because when you sit in a realistic state of
- 2:27mind and I'm are quoting that all the time you are.
- 2:30Open yourself up to a world of hurt in a world of problems
- 2:34based around the fact that the realistic mindset that you're
- 2:39talking about, is most likely pessimistic.
- 2:43You're using it under the cloak of saying that it's realistic.
- 2:46But it's really most likely pessimistic is what I find with
- 2:50my clients and when I challenge them on it I'm like just that
- 2:53sound optimistic or does it sound pessimistic?
- 2:56And they'll say no, I'm being a realist and I'm like, with a
- 2:59realist would look at Situation. And if you did want to think
- 3:02about what could go wrong, which is totally fine, you can sit
- 3:05there and write it on a piece of paper.
- 3:07What could possibly go wrong? So you know how to set up
- 3:09situations to avoid it, then that's great.
- 3:13But that's not what happens. You don't use it just for the
- 3:15information sake and to write it all out and have it done.
- 3:18One way you stay in that state and then that becomes
- 3:21pessimistic. So is next to impossible to get
- 3:27what you want for an outcome. When you are in In that
- 3:31pessimistic State, you will keep continuing.
- 3:34Keep continuing, keep continuing to attract the stuff.
- 3:38That is the exact opposite of what you want.
- 3:41So the important piece of this puzzle today is to recognize the
- 3:46frame. Mine that's behind the scenes
- 3:49and be honest with yourself about it and you know, no lying
- 3:52to yourself. No saying, oh no, I'm being
- 3:54positive. Or you're really not because
- 3:57when you get challenged by it, when you actually focus and
- 4:00Yourself and say, well, where is my, where's my brain with this?
- 4:04Am I being, you know, pessimistic optimistic.
- 4:06Where is my brain? You will see that.
- 4:09You most likely are far more on the pessimistic side than you
- 4:13are on the optimistic side, you know?
- 4:16And and I have to say this because I think it's worth
- 4:19mentioning that throughout our day, we have so many patterns.
- 4:23So many, tiny little patterns, that show up that are habitual
- 4:28and they Cause us to get into a consistent frame, like a
- 4:33negative frame, or you have to do something that you don't like
- 4:37doing and it sets the tone there for you then remain in a
- 4:41pessimistic state or a negative State, whichever way you want to
- 4:46look at it. But it's definitely based in a
- 4:50large part by the habitual States.
- 4:52We allow ourselves to get in like, if there are certain
- 4:55things we don't like to do and, you know, like, for instance, I
- 4:58have people that I've spoken to in Pass it have complained about
- 5:02having to do housework and every time they have anything to do
- 5:05with housework that puts them in a place of being - every single
- 5:09time. But guess what?
- 5:10You're a human being. You live in a house.
- 5:12You're going to have to clean it.
- 5:13You're going to have to do laundry.
- 5:15So is it worth it to get yourself?
- 5:18Worked up every single time, you have to do it to put yourself
- 5:21into a negative state of mind. I think not because the energy
- 5:25that it takes to be in that - State and what it pulls from you
- 5:29is astronomical. I can't begin to tell you how
- 5:32dangerous that is because it will tear you down every single
- 5:36time. So I certainly hope that this
- 5:40was helpful today and I certainly hope that you're
- 5:42observing your behind-the-scenes thought, process getting your
- 5:46head screwed on straight for it. And recognizing you do not want
- 5:49to be - and you do not want to be pessimistic.
- 5:53It's better to just clear it all out of your head and go from
- 5:55there. So I hope you guys have a very,
- 5:58very blessed day and I will see you you all tomorrow.
- 6:01Bye. you all tomorrow. Bye.
