  Good morning from the chicken coop so Morning, I had a
• 0:31
  completely different plan of what I was going to talk to you
• 0:33
  about and then I walked outside, it opened my door and it was
• 0:37
  unbelievably different. What the weather had brought to
• 0:39
  us overnight? We went from being in the 80s,
• 0:44
  high 80s, close to 90 yesterday during the day.
• 0:47
  And then our nights are always humid and very heavy this time
• 0:52
  of year. But oh my, gosh, this morning, I
• 0:54
  opened the door and it is sweatshirt and pants weather and
• 0:58
  we are in like six 88 degrees. And for us, that seems like
• 1:03
  winter over some of your going to be like laughing that's warm,
• 1:06
  but no, it was absolutely a shift, no humidity and it feels
• 1:12
  glorious. And so I thought to myself, when
• 1:14
  I walked out the door and instantaneously my state
• 1:17
  shifted, not that I was in a bad state but like I was like, oh oh
• 1:22
  my gosh, it feels so great. It feels like pumpkin spice,
• 1:25
  whether it feels like this and I had this Rush of adrenaline to
• 1:29
  the fall. Coming in and I thought to
• 1:32
  myself. Wow.
• 1:33
  Isn't this amazing? How we have such a great ability
• 1:39
  to take in different things out in the world and have different
• 1:43
  senses of things. And all of a sudden like you,
• 1:45
  I'm not just thinking about something, but my body has a
• 1:48
  reaction to it. My sense of smell has a reaction
• 1:51
  to things. I mean, the air smells
• 1:53
  different. Everything is different and I
• 1:56
  thought this would be a great time to just remind everybody
• 1:59
  because I had such Such a visceral experience with it and
• 2:02
  I was like, this is it? We're going to talk about this
• 2:04
  today. So using all of your senses to
• 2:07
  shift yourself is incredibly important.
• 2:10
  Being able to not just think your way through it.
• 2:13
  Yes, that is mostly what we work on what we interpret and how we
• 2:17
  turn our beliefs into something. But also allow your other senses
• 2:22
  to become part of what you're noticing and taking in, you
• 2:25
  know, often we're wired to just notice, what's wrong?
• 2:29
  As I've talked to you about before.
• 2:30
  Normal it happens. We can't get around it.
• 2:32
  It's here to help us and protect us.
• 2:34
  So if you smell something and that sense of smell says that's
• 2:38
  fire, you start to become cautious because as humans we
• 2:41
  know we can sit by a fire and absolutely enjoy the smell of
• 2:45
  it. But if we don't know where it's
• 2:47
  coming from, we have a sense of panic.
• 2:49
  So it's really tuning into all these other parts of ourselves
• 2:53
  that allow us to go and make a distinction about something and
• 2:58
  have a glorious. Into it, not just a negative
• 3:02
  reaction, have something that comes in like that smell of fall
• 3:05
  air and that cool air. So, it was not just the coolness
• 3:09
  on my skin, that was the first shift but the smell of the air
• 3:12
  was the second shift and it made me feel amazing.
• 3:16
  Like I said typically you smell something you're like what is
• 3:19
  that? Awful smell rarely.
• 3:20
  Do we sit there and say oh that smells so good.
• 3:23
  There are plenty of them around us but we just no pun intended
• 3:27
  blow right by where we're not paying attention.
• 3:30
  Because that's what we do and it's so incredibly important to
• 3:36
  be able to use all of our senses to take in the world around us
• 3:40
  so we can stop and have those grand moments of appreciation.
• 3:44
  You know going into that those those minuscule moments of
• 3:50
  finding gratitude and glory in a moment and absolute pure joy
• 3:56
  helps us throughout our day. Stay grounded, stay in a state.
• 4:00
  State where we are in a much better mindset.
• 4:03
  Stay in a state where we're open to better things happening.
• 4:07
  Stay in a state where we can appreciate instead of criticize
• 4:11
  or stay in a state where we're not looking for constantly, the
• 4:16
  situation of what's wrong? What's wrong?
• 4:17
  What's wrong? What's wrong?
• 4:18
  Because we all know. Well God we know we're wired for
• 4:22
  find what's wrong? And we do it really well, most
• 4:25
  of the time. So today I would challenge you
• 4:29
  to go and say Okay, even if it's raining where you are, even if
• 4:32
  you're not having one of those experiences go and try to find
• 4:36
  something that allows you to say, I'm using my other senses
• 4:40
  and don't forget that you can listen to the how I just screwed
• 4:43
  that one up instead of saying please remember I rarely do
• 4:46
  that. Wow, that was an interesting
• 4:48
  thing. So anyway let me rephrase that
• 4:51
  because I want you all to know. Yes I do screw that up.
• 4:53
  Sometimes to please remember to go and use tactile skills as
• 4:58
  well go in and say, Okay, I want to use my hands for something I
• 5:02
  want to, you know, paint. I want to project.
• 5:05
  I want to, you know, color do clay Garden knit, whatever your
• 5:10
  thing might be. Don't forget the tactile parts
• 5:14
  of you that bring out happy moments and joy and greatness
• 5:17
  and and allowing all of your skills all of your senses to
• 5:22
  come out. You know, I have a client who
• 5:25
  loves to bake bread. I wish I lived closer to her
• 5:27
  because boy, she is just Absolutely thrilled right now.
• 5:32
  When we go into fall her bread bacon, goes off the hook.
• 5:36
  Sourdough, Rosemary, bread's, all kinds of rules.
• 5:39
  She is obsessed with making bread.
• 5:42
  I asked her, what is the biggest thing that bread brings to you
• 5:45
  when you make it? And she goes, well one, I have
• 5:48
  to have patience with it which I thought.
• 5:50
  Well, that's like, isn't that true too?
• 5:53
  I have to really think about what I'm going to use it for
• 5:56
  otherwise, it just sits there and doesn't get eaten.
• 5:59
  Okay, great. That's it.
• 6:00
  Really she's you know, forward pacing and thinking she goes but
• 6:03
  three the best part is I have to use my hands.
• 6:06
  It's like I directly stick my hands.
• 6:08
  I'm kneading the dough. I won't use the machines.
• 6:11
  I do it old school because I want to be that person that does
• 6:15
  it all old school and I love that because for her that's her
• 6:19
  way of getting back into the roots of who we are as human
• 6:23
  beings. So maybe that's your thing maybe
• 6:25
  you want to make some bread. Anyway I hope you guys find your
• 6:29
  thing today and The weather wherever you are.
• 6:31
  Hopefully it's good weather because I'm going to enjoy this
• 6:33
  weather today. I will see you guys tomorrow.
• 6:36
  Bye.
