• 0:20
  Favorite happy places her chicken coop, along with all her
• 0:23
  chickens, Hey everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. So I want to ask you a question
• 0:31
  about going to the grocery store because I know if I go to the
• 0:34
  grocery store and I don't have a list.
• 0:37
  I all of a sudden start buying everything, I will buy things
• 0:41
  that I never thought I needed. And then I come home, and I
• 0:44
  expect my husband to turn them into something, because I'll be
• 0:47
  like, oh, this looked cool. And he's like, did you have an
• 0:50
  idea with this? No, we just thought that it
• 0:51
  looked cool and Also, there's the other piece of going to the
• 0:56
  grocery store while you're starving when you walk in and
• 0:59
  you know you're hungry and you should never have walked into
• 1:03
  the store hungry. Because what happens when you go
• 1:05
  to the grocery store and you're hungry least are buying
• 1:08
  ridiculous things that you know you're just going to stuff in
• 1:12
  your mouth. The moment you walk out the door
• 1:14
  and sit in the car and you know, you didn't necessarily even want
• 1:17
  to have that kind of snack. Oh, let's say for instance, when
• 1:20
  you walk by the baked goods and there's the croissants, the
• 1:24
  Chocolate filled croissants or maybe it's in the perfect
• 1:27
  prepared, food area and you pull off a container of like those
• 1:32
  chicken nugget things that are like you know with a sauces and
• 1:36
  what not and you're just you know hungry so you're grasping
• 1:41
  at anything at that point in time.
• 1:43
  So this is a metaphor I want to use for you guys today because
• 1:47
  this is what happens to us in life if we are not clear about
• 1:51
  our outcomes and we are not clear about our desires and we
• 1:54
  are Not clear. I'm going into our everyday
• 1:57
  patterns about things, this is what we'll end up doing.
• 2:01
  We will grasp at straws, we will go into the store and we will
• 2:04
  buy the things that we don't want.
• 2:07
  I mean, talk about going into a convenience store.
• 2:10
  Oh boy. You go in for like, you know, to
• 2:12
  get a lottery ticket. Let's say with an intention of
• 2:15
  getting a lottery ticket before. You know, you walk out with a
• 2:17
  Slim Jim and, you know, a monster drink and it's like, oh
• 2:22
  no, I don't even want to eat these things.
• 2:24
  I don't want to put these things in my body, but randomly they're
• 2:27
  here. So, why does this happen?
• 2:30
  Well, the Crux of it comes down to this when you are not
• 2:33
  prepared. When you do not call on
• 2:35
  yourself, to set a standard for something before you go in or an
• 2:40
  intention or a mix of both because there are different
• 2:43
  things, standards and intentions are two different types of
• 2:45
  things, but if you don't call on those parts of yourself, before
• 2:49
  you go into doing something, you will inevitably do something.
• 2:53
  You are not happy with. With and it's very human nature.
• 2:57
  Now, some people would argue the point of wow.
• 2:59
  Is it really a bad thing to have those moments?
• 3:02
  No, not all the time. But the problem is when you do
• 3:05
  this all the time it becomes another.
• 3:07
  One of those dreaded habits that we don't love and before you
• 3:11
  know it it's happening more and more and more.
• 3:13
  So the reason I'm bringing this up is because often at this
• 3:18
  point in a year, people start to were you know we're coming to
• 3:22
  the end of summer soon when I'm recording.
• 3:24
  In this. And this time of the year tends
• 3:27
  to be when people are even more relaxed than they have been,
• 3:31
  before they want to get the last few bits of it in.
• 3:34
  So it's like, okay, I'm going to just enjoy myself and you should
• 3:38
  enjoy yourself, but you should do it with a plan so that you
• 3:41
  don't have all this stuff to clean up after Labor Day.
• 3:45
  Because you know, for us it's like September beginning at
• 3:48
  first weekend in September is like when we all try to get back
• 3:51
  to work and make that big push before the holiday season.
• 3:54
  And that's wonderful, but it doesn't have to be such big
• 3:58
  waves of In and Out In and Out in and out.
• 4:01
  So, the reason I want you to pay attention to this is so that you
• 4:04
  can say, yes, I can have fun, but I'm not going to have all
• 4:07
  the fun in one day so that I feel terrible on Monday and then
• 4:10
  I have to deal with everything then and I want you to think
• 4:15
  about how else this shows up in your world where you just
• 4:18
  without a plan without an intention, when you go into
• 4:21
  something, it's not always. Your best bet.
• 4:26
  Now there are times when it's excellent, if you're going into
• 4:28
  creative Zone and you're just like, I'm going to let things
• 4:31
  happen, but notice, we do that with an intention.
• 4:34
  We do that with an idea in our head that this is what's going
• 4:36
  to happen now. So, if you can just simply think
• 4:40
  this through and follow it the way I'm talking about it, in the
• 4:43
  sense of just, take that moment to pause collect your thoughts,
• 4:47
  say to yourself. Okay, what's my big outcome
• 4:49
  right now? What's the thing that I'm going
• 4:50
  to pay attention to, what am I getting in there?
• 4:52
  Or what am I not getting, you know, perfect example.
• 4:56
  This past weekend, I went to the farmers market and I was like,
• 4:59
  okay I'm going to go in and I'm going to go to the sky.
• 5:01
  That makes these little cutting board Butcher, Block type things
• 5:05
  and I was looking for one specific if he had it.
• 5:09
  But then guess what? I didn't sit there and make a
• 5:12
  plan for. Okay.
• 5:13
  I'm only going in for that and I'm not getting anything else.
• 5:16
  I started walking around and before you know it I was at my
• 5:19
  favorite Baker's counter and of course she had the goodies that
• 5:24
  I No, my family likes and I had a whole bag of them by the end
• 5:28
  of it and I started laughing and I said, boy look at me, not even
• 5:31
  fall in my own rules had no intention that I was conscious
• 5:34
  of saying, this is the only thing I was doing.
• 5:37
  I went in, I did this, I got all this other stuff and now here I
• 5:40
  am with all these goodies coming home.
• 5:42
  So I had clear up my intention of not eating them all putting
• 5:46
  them there. Letting everybody else have
• 5:48
  what's there? But me not touching the ones
• 5:50
  that I knew I was going to have an issue with.
• 5:53
  I took of course. Course, I had some of it because
• 5:55
  that's what you do to have a good time.
• 5:57
  That's what you do. You have a little bit of it here
• 5:59
  and there but you just don't make it a long-term thing and
• 6:03
  you can't stop yourself so that it doesn't become something that
• 6:06
  takes you over. So hopefully this is helpful for
• 6:08
  you today and make that grocery list make those intentions get
• 6:13
  that clear in your mind each and every day even throughout the
• 6:17
  day and you will be infinitely. Better at your outcomes have a
• 6:22
  blessed day everybody. Bye.
