• 0:22
  Along with all her chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop today.
• 0:30
  We are talking about the one action that you can take
• 0:34
  immediately that's going to help you the most.
• 0:37
  And that is probably one of the most common questions that I get
• 0:41
  asked, when people start coaching right away.
• 0:43
  You know, what's the one thing that I can do?
• 0:45
  And they always sounded like they're desperate, when they ask
• 0:47
  the question because they are and they want they want to make
• 0:51
  changes and they want things to go right away.
• 0:53
  And it's it's tough because everyone's in different places,
• 0:57
  right? And everyone has their own
• 0:59
  version of They are story. We all have a story and that
• 1:04
  story is what holds us back. Ultimately, but this particular
• 1:09
  question, what's the one thing that I can do?
• 1:11
  That's what we're focusing on today and truthfully the one
• 1:15
  thing that you can do for yourself Manage your mindset
• 1:19
  control, your thoughts? However, you want to look at it,
• 1:23
  nobody can control your thoughts, period.
• 1:26
  You are the one that is in charge of your thoughts, and
• 1:30
  this is such a hard concept to understand.
• 1:34
  Because we are surrounded by things that are constantly
• 1:38
  attempting to control our thoughts, you know, advertising
• 1:42
  influencers, social media children, our spouses our bosses
• 1:48
  Everybody's trying to control your thoughts and ultimately no
• 1:52
  one has control over them but you and you are the one that has
• 1:57
  the ultimate choice of what you want to focus on everything
• 2:00
  happens. Internally everything is an
• 2:02
  internal gain. You know that distance between
• 2:05
  your two temples that is what we're talking about.
• 2:09
  That's how far you are from your goal, the distance if you
• 2:11
  measured your head, whatever that distance is between your
• 2:14
  two temples, that's how far you are from your outcomes because
• 2:18
  It all depends on what you think.
• 2:20
  It all depends on what you feel. Those two things are combined
• 2:23
  thinking and feeling are combined because they one
• 2:27
  dictates the other I've said before, in other podcast, it's
• 2:30
  like 10 is predicating the other.
• 2:33
  And if you are looking for reasons to be offended, if you
• 2:38
  are looking for reasons to give other people control because oh
• 2:41
  well they're my boss or he's my husband or she's my wife or my
• 2:44
  partner or whatever it might be. B.
• 2:49
  That little tiny bit of information, and this is what's
• 2:52
  so difficult for people to understand is that these are
• 2:57
  like little drops of poison and I'll often use the metaphor of
• 3:01
  saying, if I had a giant rain barrel and I filled that rain
• 3:04
  barrel with water and I told you it was the best water in the
• 3:07
  whole world totally pure. And you couldn't wait to try
• 3:10
  that water. And then I walked over and I'm
• 3:13
  talking like a big giant rain barrel.
• 3:15
  So let's just say maybe it's 100 gallon rain barrel.
• 3:18
  Okay. So, it's a good size.
• 3:20
  And I put One Drop of Poison into that rain barrel.
• 3:24
  Just one just one little Drop of Poison and then I say to you hey
• 3:28
  would you like to have a cup of this water?
• 3:30
  You would look at me. Like I was absolutely insane.
• 3:33
  Why would I want to drink that water?
• 3:35
  Kim you'd say this is crazy. I don't want to drink that
• 3:37
  water. You just put a Drop of Poison
• 3:38
  into it. Well the truth is that's what
• 3:41
  happens in our brain every single day.
• 3:43
  When we allow those little tiny drops of information and
• 3:48
  thoughts and attempted control from other People to start to
• 3:51
  penetrate into our psyche, into what we believe those little
• 3:56
  drops add up over and over and over and over and that's what
• 4:00
  starts the problem. So think about that if you
• 4:03
  wouldn't drink, the water that I would offer you with One Drop of
• 4:07
  Poison and by the way, that is probably completely, okay, to
• 4:11
  drink it. According to government
• 4:13
  regulations, you should be allowed to drink that and be
• 4:15
  safe. So when you even think about
• 4:17
  that even more, how crazy is that?
• 4:20
  Told it safe, you can have it. You can drink it and you'll be
• 4:23
  okay. And I always love it when
• 4:25
  someone says, hey, it's okay, you'll be okay.
• 4:28
  Why do you want to just be okay? You don't want to just be okay
• 4:31
  if you did, if you just want to be okay, you wouldn't be
• 4:32
  listening to this because you're trying to find out what are the
• 4:35
  clues to be better? How do I get to my place?
• 4:37
  Where I thrive, how do I get to that place?
• 4:40
  Where I can consistently feel a certain way and I can't
• 4:44
  emphasize enough these little tiny drops.
• 4:47
  These are the ones that are the problem taking a drink from That
• 4:50
  Barrel would be a problem and here we are looking at ourselves
• 4:55
  every day and we're saying well what's the one thing I can do?
• 4:59
  Everyone wants to look externally for what can I do to
• 5:02
  change? What's the one action I can
• 5:04
  take? Well the one action that you can
• 5:07
  take is to control what you allow into your brain every
• 5:12
  single day. Your own thoughts, what you're
• 5:14
  surrounding yourself with how you view things asking yourself
• 5:18
  over and over and over. Is this how I really want to
• 5:22
  view this? Is this true, is this just what?
• 5:24
  I've always thought you have got to find your better questions so
• 5:30
  that you can pull yourself out of this cycle of just allowing
• 5:35
  everything to happen to you because that is not the way you
• 5:39
  want to live. So, the one thing that I want
• 5:41
  you to focus on for this whole week looking up and Beyond, I
• 5:46
  mean, this is just an immuno stepping stone in this process
• 5:50
  but it's a A continuous stepping stone.
• 5:52
  I can't stress that enough. This one is a continuous
• 5:55
  stepping stone, the action that you are going to consistently
• 5:58
  take his. How long am I going to hang on
• 6:00
  to this, when something happens? How long am I going to?
• 6:02
  Look at it as it's an offense. What can I do right now?
• 6:05
  To move myself forward. So you are always managing those
• 6:10
  thoughts. Always managing the emotions,
• 6:12
  always managing the mindsets. That's the action that you
• 6:15
  should be focused on. Okay guys, I will see you
• 6:18
  tomorrow. Have A great day.
• 6:20
  A great day.
