• 0:20
  Favorite happy places her chicken coop, along with all her
• 0:23
  chickens, Hey everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. So today I'm sharing one of my
• 0:31
  favorite tricks with you about keeping yourself on track and
• 0:35
  that is talking to yourself. Now, I know there's going to be
• 0:39
  people out there that are already laughing and saying hey
• 0:41
  wait a minute, talking to yourself, doesn't that mean?
• 0:42
  You're insane. I'm not talking about the
• 0:45
  typical walking around your house talking to yourself.
• 0:47
  What I'm talking about is making little recordings to yourself
• 0:51
  when you're in a great state that you can play.
• 0:54
  Back to yourself when you are not in a great state.
• 0:58
  So let's say that we take morning, for example, morning is
• 1:02
  a really incredibly important time in setting the tone for
• 1:06
  your day. Because if your morning is
• 1:08
  messed up, then everything else tends to be going downhill from
• 1:13
  there because we stay in that state that we put ourselves in.
• 1:16
  So if we have an intense morning and that morning is just, you
• 1:22
  know, you wake up, there's a problem right away, you get
• 1:24
  Email, that's a problem you have issues right away.
• 1:28
  That will be one of those times where you instantaneously take
• 1:31
  that energy with you self into the next ACT.
• 1:35
  Whether it's getting the kids up, whether it's doing something
• 1:37
  else instantaneously. You have that going with you and
• 1:42
  oftentimes it's really, really hard to shift it because you're,
• 1:47
  you're stuck, essentially you're stuck in that moment.
• 1:50
  You're like Frozen if you will emotionally because you're not
• 1:56
  paying attention, that's the very first thing.
• 1:58
  When you wake up, typically, we're just in go mode and we're
• 2:01
  saying, what have I got to get done today and we've some of us
• 2:04
  make our to-do list in the morning.
• 2:06
  Some of us make our to-do list in the after, you know,
• 2:10
  afternoon late in the day before.
• 2:13
  So we have it when we wake up, but most of us tend to wake up
• 2:17
  and were only thinking about what we have to do.
• 2:19
  We're not thinking about any of the other stuff.
• 2:22
  To take care of ourselves. We just focused on this little
• 2:24
  tiny piece of, you know, get to get going.
• 2:27
  Got to get going. I got a lot to do today.
• 2:29
  Can't tell you how many times I myself.
• 2:31
  Will say, okay I got a lot to do today but the problem is, if I'm
• 2:36
  only focused on what I have to do, I'm not focused on who I'm
• 2:40
  being. So having these little
• 2:42
  recordings to myself really helped me.
• 2:46
  So if I have if you if you have any sort of phone Not from, you
• 2:53
  know, 1802, you can open it up and in your utilities, you have
• 2:58
  a voice text app and this is exactly how I record the
• 3:04
  podcast. Believe it or not, I use my
• 3:06
  voice text so much. I found that it was super easy,
• 3:09
  just to use it for the podcast to.
• 3:12
  So I come I have a whole series of little ones that stay in my
• 3:18
  phone that are just messages to myself.
• 3:21
  That I Use. So if I'm off, if I'm off track,
• 3:25
  if I'm off base, if I'm not tracking in a way that I want to
• 3:30
  of my energy is going downhill. If I'm feeling frustrated if I'm
• 3:34
  in between sessions, if people coach with me they know I am I
• 3:38
  keep my sessions really tight because I like to stay in flow
• 3:42
  and in mode I don't I don't like to take breaks actually because
• 3:45
  it throws me off and then I can't, you know I'm so in the
• 3:48
  moment I can't get back into flow quickly so Like to keep it
• 3:53
  pretty tight. But if I've got a couple seconds
• 3:55
  in between our, if I've had a session where it's been very
• 3:57
  emotional with a client, I have a message in my voice memos,
• 4:02
  where I can listen to myself, talk to myself and give myself a
• 4:07
  pep talk. If you will a feedback,
• 4:10
  something to focus on instead of what I have been focusing on,
• 4:13
  and I can't begin to tell you the magic it creates, because it
• 4:16
  shifts you right away. Another piece of the puzzle is
• 4:20
  that your brain is wired to I believe your voice to be true.
• 4:24
  So when you're talking to yourself, whether it's good or
• 4:27
  bad, whether it's positive or negative, your brain believes
• 4:30
  you. So when you say, oh God, I'm so
• 4:32
  frustrated. I'm so stupid.
• 4:34
  Even if you just say this in your head, your brain believes
• 4:36
  that to be true. That's why it's so hard to shift
• 4:39
  out of things. And the Beautiful Thing is also
• 4:44
  believes it in reverse. So if you're able to record
• 4:47
  messages to yourself, when you are feeling good and You know,
• 4:53
  you're in a great state and you talk to yourself, then all of a
• 4:56
  sudden you listen to that message, and it changes
• 4:59
  everything. So I'll give you an example.
• 5:01
  If you're a parent and you're you get frustrated with your
• 5:04
  kids and you know that you have certain hot buttons issues like
• 5:09
  homework. That's always a know something
• 5:13
  in our house that triggers things.
• 5:15
  You can have a little message that you record to yourself and
• 5:18
  you can talk about that and say like let's say your name is
• 5:20
  Sally. You can say Hey Sally listen
• 5:24
  homework is going to start in about 30 minutes.
• 5:26
  You know that this is going to be awesome if you stay calm and
• 5:31
  focused. So I want you to go in there, I
• 5:32
  want you to be super centered, I want you to be calm.
• 5:36
  I want you to have the snacks, ready.
• 5:37
  Pencil sharpened, sit down put on good music for the kids to
• 5:40
  listen to and get everything in the way that they, you know,
• 5:44
  they can Thrive and you can Thrive.
• 5:46
  And remember, take the high road.
• 5:48
  Stay calm. No yelling give yourself.
• 5:52
  Little this little thing and then play it beforehand.
• 5:55
  When you're talking to yourself, you actually, listen.
• 5:57
  I have them for all different things in my phone, I have them
• 6:00
  for, like I said in between sessions, I have them for
• 6:02
  things. If I'm irritated with my
• 6:03
  husband, I can go and listen to one that I have talking to me
• 6:07
  about all the things. I love about him and
• 6:09
  instantaneously it, right? It reminds me and puts me in a
• 6:13
  state of letting go of whatever stupid thing happened, that we
• 6:17
  might be arguing about, and then I can easily go right back to
• 6:21
  feeling great. And so today I would like you to
• 6:24
  make some recordings for yourself that you can listen to.
• 6:28
  And that morning recording is probably the most important of
• 6:32
  all of them. So when you get up you can talk
• 6:34
  to yourself. And say, I'm out here starting
• 6:37
  my day, strong, and I'm focused because I listened to my morning
• 6:42
  recording. That told me when I wake up,
• 6:44
  hey, Kim, you just got out of bed.
• 6:46
  It's time to get into that. Right State of Mind.
• 6:48
  Remember you're focused on effortless, abundance, you're
• 6:50
  focused on Being the best person.
• 6:53
  You can be in, kindness, happiness, love and joy.
• 6:56
  That's one of mine, by the way, in case you're interested, so I
• 7:00
  can listen to that and I can listen to it over and over and
• 7:02
  over again. If I need to you can make them
• 7:04
  as short as you want. As long as you want, just make
• 7:07
  them, make them, go do it today. Make yourself one, just try one
• 7:10
  and see how it works. Alright guys, I hope you have a
• 7:12
  great day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 7:14
  Bye.
