  Good morning from the Very noisy, Chicken Coop, they are
• 0:33
  all got a lot to say today. So today I'm going to tell you a
• 0:38
  story yesterday. I harvested a boatload of
• 0:42
  vegetables from the garden, probably more in one day than I
• 0:46
  have ever harvested from a garden.
• 0:48
  But because we've had so much rain and rain and rain.
• 0:53
  Everything just went exponentially bigger quicker,
• 0:55
  faster. Just it kind of blew my mind for
• 0:59
  those of you and I maybe day. Myself with this.
• 1:01
  Whoever watched Gilligan's Island, it was like radioactive
• 1:04
  vegetables and it was just too huge.
• 1:09
  So Mark says to me let's get the cart.
• 1:13
  We're going to load everything into the big gorilla cart.
• 1:16
  We have here on the farm, will take it up to the house and then
• 1:18
  we'll put it all over the dining table and then you can decide
• 1:21
  what you want to do with all of it and which I was super
• 1:26
  excited. And then when I saw it all in
• 1:27
  the dining room table and it was just so much Much so much so
• 1:31
  much. I got like, oh no.
• 1:34
  What am I gonna do with all of this?
• 1:36
  Like, not that we couldn't consume it but like, I want to
• 1:39
  use it when it's at its peak, like, it has something has to be
• 1:43
  done with it soon like very soon.
• 1:46
  So I'm like, oh boy. Okay, I'm going to have to do a
• 1:50
  lot of canning. So immediately My head goes to.
• 1:54
  I wish Aunt Annie was right here with me so that we could do
• 1:57
  this, but my aunt is in Massachusetts and I'm here.
• 1:59
  So I'm like great Okay, so I feel myself my certainty girl
• 2:05
  starts to get all wonky and she's getting amped up and she's
• 2:09
  thinking to herself. Oh, this is going to be all day
• 2:12
  tomorrow. This is going to consume my
• 2:13
  entire day or at least that and then I'm going to have to hold
• 2:16
  off until I finish working this week and then I'm going to be
• 2:19
  doing it every night and I'm going to have to get up at three
• 2:21
  in the morning to get it done before I start working and my
• 2:24
  brain is just put on on a not a good note.
• 2:29
  Let's just say that it was Not a good note.
• 2:31
  And then I remembered a little trick that I was taught a long
• 2:35
  time ago about making chores become meditation.
• 2:42
  Now this sounds crazy I know but when you do something and you're
• 2:47
  super Mindful and you're in the moment and you're focused on it
• 2:52
  and that only and you're not distracted by anything else and
• 2:56
  you really start pouring into it as its this is your The tation,
• 3:01
  the the cutting the chopping, the sounds everything becomes
• 3:06
  part of meditation. Truly anything can be a
• 3:09
  meditation. Just like gardening can be a
• 3:11
  meditation or anything else. It all becomes a an opportunity.
• 3:16
  Let's say a huge opportunity to be able to be in the moment.
• 3:20
  Be present be in the moment. So that's what I took it on.
• 3:24
  As I started thinking to myself, okay, this is what I'm going to
• 3:26
  do. I'm just going to do this and be
• 3:28
  very mindful of it. Be really present with.
• 3:30
  It. And it's going to be awesome.
• 3:33
  And that's the plan for today, but I have to tell you, it took,
• 3:38
  I have to keep course-correcting it because I have so many things
• 3:42
  there, I haven't worked with before, it's still rocking my
• 3:45
  certainty. So the reason I'm sharing all of
• 3:48
  this with you is because I want you all to know this stuff
• 3:51
  sneaks up on you in a heartbeat. This stuff is the kind of stuff
• 3:55
  that is maddening because it comes up so quickly because it
• 3:59
  comes up out of nowhere. Because it has the ability to
• 4:03
  shake you quickly because it has the ability to get in your head
• 4:09
  and say, oh well, you don't know what you're going to be doing.
• 4:11
  This is going to ruin this data to and the combination of having
• 4:16
  my certainty girl and anxiety sitting together along with
• 4:21
  judgment. It just doesn't work when those
• 4:25
  trios get together on your bus when they start having
• 4:28
  conversations with you. You.
• 4:30
  And for you, you have to manage them.
• 4:34
  This is where the you, that's truly you.
• 4:37
  The you that your soul has to say, that's all good.
• 4:40
  You know what? I have to go to the Zen space.
• 4:44
  So the words, the mantras the emotions that I'm choosing to
• 4:49
  use now, our creativity is getting than there because she's
• 4:52
  going to create things that we don't know about yet.
• 4:55
  And my patients my hippie chicks Zen girl.
• 5:00
  Showing up my incredibly incredibly, I'm so grateful for
• 5:08
  all of my imagination showing up because this helps me to just
• 5:13
  end. My what I like to refer to as my
• 5:15
  time Bender because she says there's more than enough time.
• 5:18
  Don't worry about it. There's more than enough time.
• 5:20
  Never worry about it. So hopefully this gives you an
• 5:24
  idea helps you understand? You can course correct these
• 5:27
  things, no matter how silly they may seem Need to be
• 5:31
  course-corrected because if you don't do it.
• 5:33
  Now on the big things when they show up they will get you.
• 5:37
  So I hope you guys have a very blessed day and I will see you
• 5:40
  tomorrow after lots and lots and lots of canning pickling
• 5:46
  jarring. Oh my gosh, hopefully I'm still
• 5:50
  standing tomorrow morning. Have a blessed day again.
• 5:53
  Bye. Need to be course-corrected
• 5:32
  because if you don't do it. Now on the big things when they
• 5:34
  show up they will get you. So I hope you guys have a very
• 5:39
  blessed day and I will see you tomorrow after lots and lots and
• 5:43
  lots of canning pickling jarring.
• 5:47
  Oh my gosh, hopefully I'm still standing tomorrow morning.
• 5:51
  Have a blessed day again. Bye.
