  Good morning from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:31
  So what do you do? When you can't stop your
• 0:35
  emotions from looping meaning? You just get stuck and you're
• 0:39
  just, you just seem to be in this Perpetual place of
• 0:43
  obsessing on whatever thought it is, good, bad or indifferent.
• 0:47
  But most of the time, we know that they're the heavy thoughts.
• 0:50
  They're the ones that are more difficult and more challenging
• 0:53
  to deal with, which are our negative thoughts, anxiety
• 0:57
  focused on the stress, focus on the Was that you know cannot
• 1:03
  seem to just go away from everyday life because let's just
• 1:06
  face it. There's no question about the
• 1:08
  fact that if you're a human being and you're alive and
• 1:11
  you're breathing, you're going to run into stress in this world
• 1:14
  because it's there and that's what people have become very
• 1:20
  cut. I don't want to even say
• 1:21
  accustomed to it but it really is accustomed to it, but they've
• 1:25
  become very habitual in the fact that it is incredibly.
• 1:31
  Just part of our Lives now, it's just incredibly driven in
• 1:35
  everything that we do and we have accepted it.
• 1:37
  We have accepted the fact that we allow that anxiety to show up
• 1:43
  and Push us in ways that we don't like, but yet here we are,
• 1:49
  here's what happens. So when it shows up and you are
• 1:53
  stuck in the Perpetual Loop, it just seems to keep going and
• 1:57
  going and going, you can't quiet yourself down, you can't quiet
• 2:00
  your head down. You are just thinking about all
• 2:03
  the things that you need to quote, unquote, think about.
• 2:06
  But I'm going to challenge you. I don't think you need to think
• 2:08
  about them. You already know them, once you
• 2:10
  think about them. And you understand the
• 2:12
  information that the emotion is trying to give you, Then you can
• 2:16
  write it down, grab, you know, the information that it's
• 2:19
  sharing with you and then move on, but that's not how it seems
• 2:22
  to work. In our heads, we will grab onto
• 2:24
  it, and we will Loop, and loop, and loop, and loop and jump
• 2:28
  forward future Pace. It think about all the problems
• 2:31
  it could. Cause if we don't, if you don't
• 2:33
  do this, or if we have this or whatever and the looping just
• 2:37
  wipes us out. So what do you do if you Loop?
• 2:39
  What if you are a Looper, what if you are that person that just
• 2:42
  is, you know, unbelievably Stuck and cannot, you know, get past
• 2:48
  the looping there are solutions. Believe me because I had to work
• 2:54
  them out myself. They are not easy solutions but
• 2:57
  they work. So rather than sweeping it under
• 3:02
  the rug. The first thing that you must
• 3:04
  do, when the looping starts is to recognize, it is absolutely
• 3:08
  of no good. The more you obsess on the
• 3:11
  problem the more you attract the problem.
• 3:14
  So bye. Acknowledging the fact that
• 3:16
  there's no new information here, there's nothing new that you can
• 3:19
  possibly, you know, attained from any of this.
• 3:23
  You've got all the information, you know what you need.
• 3:27
  You have to put yourself into the place of deep awareness that
• 3:31
  this looping is a pattern. You have to say that to yourself
• 3:34
  This looping, this way that I'm doing this is just a pattern and
• 3:38
  I can stop the pattern. Now again, any any emotion this
• 3:43
  will work with any emotion. Yeah, but again, I'm using it in
• 3:46
  the example of stress and anxiety about things.
• 3:49
  So this is just a pattern anxiety is a pattern.
• 3:53
  And once you run it, your body knows it your brain knows it.
• 3:57
  You have muscle memory for it. It triggers all kinds of stress
• 4:02
  hormones because it's trying to protect you.
• 4:04
  So remember that but it's a pattern, it's a pattern.
• 4:07
  So don't allow the pattern to take over in the sense that
• 4:11
  you're not aware of it second step once you acknowledge, That
• 4:15
  you sit down and you write out all the things that it's trying
• 4:19
  to tell you put it on paper, get that list on paper because if
• 4:24
  it's on paper in front of you of the information the what if the
• 4:28
  what if the what us then they look more ridiculous which is
• 4:32
  what they are because your future pacing in your putting
• 4:35
  things out there that are just not helpful at a certain point
• 4:40
  because the future hasn't happened yet and you can dictate
• 4:43
  how it's going to go. By the energy that you reside
• 4:46
  in. So get it all on paper because
• 4:48
  it will help relieve the pressure in your head.
• 4:51
  Third, once it's out, realize that the amount and once, you
• 4:57
  know, once you put it on paper and you realize that this is
• 5:00
  ridiculous. I don't need to obsess on this
• 5:02
  and look at it on paper. I can see this future pacing.
• 5:05
  You acknowledge the habit of the pattern.
• 5:07
  Okay, make sure that's very much in there and then you have to
• 5:11
  take that energy that's in you and do something with it.
• 5:14
  You Not sit there and allow your extra energy to kind of eat away
• 5:20
  at you. You must, you must, you must
• 5:23
  take yourself and put that energy into something, you know,
• 5:27
  I do not sit still. Well, it's very known well,
• 5:31
  known fact, in my personal world that I do not sit still well and
• 5:36
  there's a reason for it because I've trained myself to getting
• 5:39
  through all of my own personal struggles with anxiety and
• 5:43
  having that take over my life. Leon I recognized it was far
• 5:47
  worse when I was just sitting around.
• 5:49
  It was far worse when I wasn't reading or I wasn't gardening or
• 5:54
  I wasn't painting or doing something.
• 5:57
  And I recognize that all that energy, all that extra energy
• 6:01
  that I have that Creative Energy was going into torturing me as
• 6:05
  opposed to doing something. So, pick yourself up, go do
• 6:09
  something productive. Now, I will say once I was able
• 6:13
  to train my brain, I could go Read that the point of reading
• 6:18
  when you are highly in the mood of anxiety when you're when the
• 6:22
  anxiety or stress, is that like that's your function?
• 6:26
  Some people can do reading most cannot at least, they can't in
• 6:31
  the can't even listen. So if you put on Audible, it's
• 6:33
  very difficult. So you can try that one, but I'm
• 6:37
  talking about, you got to get your hands dirty somehow.
• 6:39
  You've got to physically shift it, so try something different.
• 6:44
  Get up. You go for a walk, try something
• 6:47
  like adult. Colouring.
• 6:48
  Try something like painting. Go to do anything other than
• 6:55
  what you're doing. I have a client who loves to
• 6:57
  build Legos and he builds Legos when that's the case.
• 7:00
  So you have to find your thing but you've got to do the thing
• 7:05
  if that makes sense. You can't allow that energy to
• 7:08
  just go because once you let it go it's going to go and torture
• 7:11
  you. So hopefully this is going to
• 7:14
  give you some tools. Tools to move forward with it.
• 7:16
  But stopping the loop is possible, but it all comes down
• 7:20
  to you. I hope you guys have a blessed
• 7:22
  day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
• 7:15
  Tools to move forward with it. But stopping the loop is
• 7:18
  possible, but it all comes down to you.
• 7:21
  I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 7:24
  Bye.
