  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop as I sit out
• 0:32
  here with all my pretty ladies all around me and everybody's
• 0:35
  got a lot to say this morning. So today we have a wonderful
• 0:41
  quote from the most optimistic and one of the best I I think
• 0:47
  motivational people that ever walked the planet Zig Ziglar.
• 0:51
  And the quote is positive thinking will let you do
• 0:54
  everything better than negative thinking will.
• 0:57
  Now, I know that this is a sensitive topic with some people
• 1:01
  because they don't want to just be in the state of positivity.
• 1:04
  They just want to talk about the fact of what's wrong and they
• 1:06
  focus on what's wrong. And it's their Their ideal is
• 1:11
  I'm being a realist and I sit there and I say, well, that is
• 1:15
  one way to think of it. However, he's right in the sense
• 1:18
  that if you approach everything with a positive mindset.
• 1:23
  Meaning I look at every single situation and I work through how
• 1:27
  can I see the good in this. How can I find the the gold?
• 1:31
  What can I mine for? What can I learn?
• 1:33
  How can I think of this creatively?
• 1:35
  You run through your list of questions that will help you
• 1:39
  stay in a lighter mindset, the positive mindset.
• 1:43
  So I, I, I also like to think of it as the dark side and the
• 1:46
  light side of it. So if you're on the light side,
• 1:48
  you're having the positive thoughts, and if you're on the
• 1:49
  dark side, you're having the heavier thoughts, but.
• 1:53
  People will say to me, well, I don't know, I get stuck and
• 1:55
  sometimes I can't get out of it. And I think, you know, there is
• 1:58
  a very old school technique with this where a couple of them
• 2:02
  actually, that can help you. One of them is simply wearing a
• 2:07
  rubber band or a white string of some sort tied to your.
• 2:11
  Wrist doesn't matter what wrist, just as long as you can see it.
• 2:14
  And when you look down at it, you are reminded to think
• 2:17
  positively, Think on the light side.
• 2:19
  Remember that you have an intention.
• 2:22
  You tie their string on with the intention that that is what
• 2:25
  you're going to focus on and magically it helps you stay in
• 2:29
  that vein. Another great tool is to have a
• 2:32
  little card, like a business size card in your wallet, in
• 2:36
  your pocket, laminated. For years I actually did this.
• 2:39
  I had a little laminated card that I had made for myself that
• 2:42
  had all kinds of positive questions on it that I could
• 2:45
  pull out when I was in a negative state of mind because I
• 2:47
  wasn't capable of thinking of them on my own.
• 2:50
  So take the little card out and then I would read through them
• 2:54
  and it would give me great little tools and helped me out.
• 2:59
  The advent of the beautiful electronic devices that we carry
• 3:03
  around with us, that allow me to record this for you and
• 3:05
  everything else has. Change that a little bit.
• 3:08
  For me, I prefer to have things recorded in my own voice, in a
• 3:12
  positive tone, talking to myself and then listening back to them
• 3:15
  when I need it. It's probably my favorite tool.
• 3:18
  I have to admit that other than reading and visual stuff to
• 3:22
  like, look at, you know, mind maps and treasure maps and you
• 3:26
  know all that good stuff. Is using the voice memos to
• 3:30
  record little things to yourself so that you can listen back to
• 3:33
  them. Because who's better to be in
• 3:35
  charge of you than you? And when you listen back, it
• 3:38
  actually helps you shift into a better state quicker because
• 3:41
  your brain believes your voice to be true.
• 3:43
  So highly encourage you to create some of those for
• 3:47
  yourself and have some of these tools because everything that
• 3:50
  you approach can be shifted into a better state of mind.
• 3:56
  You know, breaking down bigger tasks into smaller tasks and
• 3:59
  then celebrating the winds instead of just looking at oh I
• 4:02
  got I'm not going to be done with this.
• 4:03
  It's such a big task. There's so many things it and it
• 4:07
  works. I I do it every day for my own
• 4:10
  things. And I promise you, when you
• 4:12
  approach it this way and you take it on in a strategy that
• 4:16
  allows you to have the little winds along the way, you will be
• 4:19
  profoundly. Surprised by how quickly you can
• 4:23
  shift and feel better. And remember, it doesn't take
• 4:26
  much to get out of those negative states.
• 4:28
  It just takes an effort and a strategy, consistency and doing
• 4:33
  it little by little, bit by bit. And then magic happens.
• 4:36
  And that's what we're looking for.
• 4:37
  We're looking to create the magic.
• 4:39
  So remember what he said. Remember the quote.
• 4:43
  Remember the fact that it is. Absolutely.
• 4:47
  Without question, positive thinking will let you do
• 4:50
  everything better than negative thinking will, because you're
• 4:53
  going to find and attract and be in a more abundant state.
• 4:59
  In a more positive state, you will always make things more.
• 5:04
  Just productive for yourself. Just a greater outcome.
• 5:09
  So I hope you guys have a very blessed day.
• 5:11
  And I hope that you let go of your negative thinking.
• 5:14
  And I hope that you find that way to the positive, lighter
• 5:17
  side. All right, my friends, I'll talk
• 5:19
  to you tomorrow. Bye.
