  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So what is weighing you down going into the end of the year?
• 0:37
  What are the things that you know are still weighing you
• 0:40
  down, making you feel like you cannot fly and be joyous into
• 0:44
  the end of the year because now is the time to clean them up.
• 0:50
  And I'm not just talking about, you know, the stuff the To Do
• 0:54
  List. I'm talking about is it time to
• 0:56
  get rid of stuff in the house? Is it time to say, hey, I'm
• 0:59
  going to be cooking for all these people And you know what?
• 1:02
  I can't stand this pan that I always have.
• 1:04
  And I'm just going to even go buy a simple $2.00 pan to cook
• 1:09
  this Turkey or whatever in. And I'm not going to use this
• 1:12
  other pan because it's so heavy and it annoys the hell out of
• 1:15
  me. Whatever it is, if it's weighing
• 1:18
  you down, you have to ask yourself, so you know, you have
• 1:23
  to clean it up. So, you know, I was doing a big
• 1:26
  clean out of the coop. I think I talked about it the
• 1:29
  other day on here and one of the things that I recognized was I
• 1:33
  did not have a tool in here that I needed that I really should
• 1:37
  have had. And I kept jury rigging another
• 1:40
  tool to make something work. And I'm like, this is just, I
• 1:43
  just need a scoop. I, I just had a scoop instead of
• 1:45
  just using a cup, I was using like a, an old container of
• 1:49
  yogurt and, you know, wash it out.
• 1:51
  You have another container there, but I was using that to
• 1:53
  scoop out grain. And the problem is they crack
• 1:56
  all the time. And then once they crack, they,
• 1:58
  they wobble and they're not sturdy and then you spill the
• 2:01
  grain. Like, why am I just not getting
• 2:03
  a scoop? Like what is the problem?
• 2:04
  I, I can go get a scoop. Why am I not getting a scoop?
• 2:08
  These are the little tiny things that cause the irritations that
• 2:12
  make us frustrated. And then they find more
• 2:16
  frustration because energetically you're aligned
• 2:18
  with the frustrations. When we acknowledge them and
• 2:20
  don't fix them. But when we fix them, we are now
• 2:23
  aligning to the things we want as opposed to the things we
• 2:26
  don't want. So when you know what's weighing
• 2:28
  you down, you got to make a shift with it.
• 2:31
  I recognize I have a bunch of clothes that I do not.
• 2:36
  I don't get rid of them. This is really important.
• 2:38
  Like I don't get rid of them and I don't wear them and I don't
• 2:41
  know why I keep them. What is the purpose of having a
• 2:44
  closet filled with clothes that you don't wear just in case you
• 2:47
  need them? But guess what?
• 2:49
  I'm not going to wear them. I don't like the way they look
• 2:51
  on me. I don't like the way they feel.
• 2:53
  But yet I have them because I have these jeans.
• 2:56
  I have a bunch of jeans that I have that I don't wear and I
• 3:01
  keep them anyway and it's befuddling to me as to why I
• 3:06
  have them and keep them. Now I could sit there and say,
• 3:09
  well, maybe they'll come back into style because some of them
• 3:11
  are like really wide leg and maybe they'll come back into
• 3:14
  style so I can justify a couple pairs of them.
• 3:17
  But I'm talking like I've probably got like 15 pairs of
• 3:20
  jeans and of the 15 pairs of jeans I probably only really,
• 3:25
  really like or love maybe 6 pairs.
• 3:28
  So what am I doing with the rest of them?
• 3:30
  Why do I have these other jeans? Why do I have nine other pairs
• 3:33
  of pants roughly that I don't want to wear?
• 3:36
  I don't know. And that's the point of this.
• 3:38
  This is what shows up. Why do we have all these things
• 3:42
  in our pantry that we bought that we don't like?
• 3:45
  Because we all know we go buy something.
• 3:47
  We say, oh, I don't like that at all.
• 3:49
  And rather than just getting rid of it in the moment, we put it
• 3:52
  on a shelf and we don't use it. Or the refrigerator has sauces,
• 3:57
  samples, items in it that we get, but we don't get rid of
• 4:03
  them when we don't use them or don't like them.
• 4:06
  And then our refrigerator is packed with only the stuff that
• 4:09
  we use in the front and the back is just like the wild, Wild
• 4:13
  West. And Oh my gosh, what are we
• 4:16
  doing? And it's weighing us down
• 4:19
  because every time we open the refrigerator and we see it, we
• 4:22
  know we don't like what's in there.
• 4:24
  So you've got to stop and pause and say the benefit to me right
• 4:29
  now is to look and say what's weighing me down so I can purge
• 4:32
  and make room for the good stuff.
• 4:34
  And that's what today is all about.
• 4:36
  So make your list, figure it out.
• 4:37
  Figure out when, not just what you want to do, what are the
• 4:40
  things that are weighing you down, but figure out when you're
• 4:43
  going to make the time to do it and get rid of it and clean it
• 4:47
  up. Because God knows it feels so
• 4:50
  much better when you do it. And you can make sure that
• 4:53
  you're giving yourself that space to have something
• 4:55
  wonderful take place. All right, my friends, I hope
• 4:59
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:01
  Bye.
