  Hey everybody, good morning from the porch today because it is
• 0:32
  pitch dark very early and I had a nightmare last night and could
• 0:39
  not sleep and that's why we are doing it from here and it's very
• 0:43
  early. Anyway, let me tell you, I had a
• 0:46
  plan to talk to you about something today which is this.
• 0:49
  You can hear the Roosters off in the distance, which is all about
• 0:54
  the theory of what makes the ship sink.
• 0:56
  So when we think about this, we often talk about the fact that,
• 1:00
  OK, what happens when a ship sinks?
• 1:03
  Why does it sink? Well, it sinks because water
• 1:06
  gets in. And when water gets in, the ship
• 1:09
  loses its buoyancy, The air is forced out, the water goes in,
• 1:12
  the ship sinks. We all understand this.
• 1:15
  But when you start using this metaphor to bring it forward for
• 1:18
  yourself and start thinking about what happens when we let
• 1:22
  things into us, what does that do?
• 1:25
  It helps us sink. It pulls us to sync.
• 1:28
  It makes us sink. So I had planned to talk to you
• 1:32
  about this anyway. Now here's what's funny.
• 1:34
  I absolutely, 100% cannot watch scary movies.
• 1:38
  Cannot watch them because they pollute my head.
• 1:42
  I let it in and then I freak out about little things, about
• 1:45
  hearing everything around me, thinking it's very scary.
• 1:49
  This all dates back to when I was a child and my mother's
• 1:53
  youngest brother used to come to our house after school and watch
• 1:56
  Dark Shadows. For those of you who may know
• 1:58
  that show from the, I think it was the 70s early 70s that that
• 2:03
  show was on. But it scared the crap out of me
• 2:05
  as a child and from then on I've been useless with scary things
• 2:10
  so I avoid them like the plague. My family knows this.
• 2:15
  I last night was out. I was shooting my, I do a call
• 2:19
  once a month for my clients as a group and we were shooting the
• 2:23
  call last night and everybody was on a Zoom.
• 2:26
  And so I was out for, you know, at least an hour and a half and
• 2:30
  they knew I was going to be out. So they put on a scary movie.
• 2:34
  Well, it's apparently it went longer than they thought I was
• 2:38
  going to be out there and I came back in the house and it was on.
• 2:41
  Now, I did not sit and watch this.
• 2:43
  This is what's really important. I did not sit and watch the
• 2:46
  movie at all. I came in, I grabbed my stuff.
• 2:49
  I said I was going in to take a shower.
• 2:51
  I turned around, I walked away and I left.
• 2:54
  So I felt I was clear, but I could hear off in the distance
• 2:58
  the energy of the movie. I could hear the screaming, the,
• 3:01
  you know, the whole thing because it's all in that
• 3:03
  Halloween movie phase. And I didn't think anything
• 3:07
  about it. This is what's so funny.
• 3:09
  I didn't think anything about it.
• 3:10
  And today I knew I was going to talk to everybody about the
• 3:12
  theory of the boat and what we're letting in in our heads
• 3:15
  right now and how it's affecting people and how we need to shift
• 3:18
  that and change that. And then I went to sleep last
• 3:22
  night. Well, I, I slept for like maybe
• 3:24
  4 hours and all of a sudden I started having these horrible
• 3:30
  nightmares. Just like I have dreams every
• 3:34
  single night. I have very vivid dreams because
• 3:37
  of my imagination, but I don't have nightmares.
• 3:40
  And this was a nightmare. And I, it was one of those
• 3:43
  nightmares where you can't move and you're screaming and
• 3:47
  nobody's coming to help you. It was one of those and I woke
• 3:51
  my husband up because I was like so uncomfortable about the whole
• 3:54
  thing and I didn't connect the dots.
• 3:56
  I didn't connect the dots. And then I came out and I was
• 3:59
  got up early because I couldn't sleep anyway, so I might as well
• 4:03
  get up and get things done. And I get up, I come out and I
• 4:07
  start thinking to myself about I haven't had one of those in so
• 4:11
  long. What did I do different?
• 4:13
  What did I eat? What did I did I do something
• 4:15
  different out of my pattern? And all of a sudden I realized I
• 4:19
  grabbed my note to get ready to come out and shoot something for
• 4:22
  you guys. And all of a sudden it hit me.
• 4:25
  I let in. I was the one that let the water
• 4:28
  in the boat by having that energy even around me a little
• 4:32
  bit. I heard it and I should have.
• 4:35
  If I had consciously stopped and ditched it, it wouldn't have
• 4:39
  affected me because I've had to do that before.
• 4:41
  But I didn't and I let it in. And what's important about this
• 4:45
  is to realize that we let little things in all the time and we
• 4:50
  don't dismiss them, consciously dismiss them, consciously think
• 4:55
  about what we're letting in so we can get rid of it.
• 4:59
  Now, if I had stopped and said OK, that is not a reality.
• 5:03
  I, I, I do not focus on that and just talk to myself, bring
• 5:08
  myself back from it. I'm not paying attention to
• 5:11
  that. I'm paying attention to
• 5:12
  something else. Sit there, read good thoughts
• 5:15
  before I went to bed. I could have washed it away, but
• 5:18
  instead I let it slip and it snuck in and my boat sunk and I
• 5:22
  had a nightmare. Now you can better believe
• 5:24
  before I came out here and I talked to you, I already
• 5:27
  dismissed it. I sat, I read, I got myself back
• 5:30
  in the right headspace so I can go and coach everybody today.
• 5:34
  But the point is, what are you letting in?
• 5:36
  What's sinking your boat? And more importantly, the point
• 5:38
  is, what are you not noticing that's sinking your boat?
• 5:42
  Because that's what it's all about.
• 5:44
  I highly recommend taking an inventory of what could sink the
• 5:48
  boat. So get rid of it.
• 5:51
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and no
• 5:54
  nightmares for you. All right, I'll see you
• 5:56
  tomorrow. Bye.
