• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so I want to ask you a question.
• 0:32
  What do you think happens in your brain when you plant a
• 0:36
  seed? So I was in the garden
• 0:38
  yesterday, I'm planting things up.
• 0:40
  I have all kinds of stuff in there.
• 0:42
  That is going to be an amazing Garden.
• 0:46
  See like I'm giving you the intention of it all even though
• 0:50
  I'm planting some seeds. So what do you do when you plan
• 0:54
  to see what happens when you plan to seed?
• 0:57
  Well, for the most part, when you plant a seed, you're not
• 1:00
  planting Because you're in love with the seed, you're in love
• 1:02
  with the outcome of the seed. And I think that's what's so
• 1:05
  important to remember is that when we have these moments like
• 1:09
  spring and it's such an intense feeling to get outside to grow
• 1:15
  things to clean, things up to just Revitalize and renew the
• 1:21
  intention behind all of that. Is that exact feeling of just
• 1:26
  being like, it's like a rebirth. It's like a fresh start.
• 1:29
  It's like let the fresh air in all of a sudden and when we have
• 1:33
  seeds, I was thinking. So, here I am, I'm planting
• 1:36
  seeds and I'm planting some seeds that I know, meaning, I
• 1:40
  planted this crop before. I understand what it does is to,
• 1:44
  I'm speaking specifically about lettuce in this particular
• 1:47
  moment, if you ever planted lettuce, can you just imagine
• 1:50
  the size of a lettuce seed, okay.
• 1:52
  It's like nothing. It's like you can barely see it.
• 1:55
  It's like teeny teeny teeny teeny tiny and you plant them
• 2:00
  with the Henshin of ending up with heads of lettuce.
• 2:04
  You don't plant them for those little dots.
• 2:05
  In fact, I get a little freaked out when I go and I plant them
• 2:08
  my certainty, girl, speaking right there because you can't
• 2:11
  even see them, you can't see them.
• 2:13
  When you put them down, they virtually disappear.
• 2:16
  So I went through great great pains this year to find organic
• 2:21
  seeds that had this coating on them.
• 2:24
  That lets you see them so that you can, make sure you drop them
• 2:27
  in the right places. And then, you know, you've got
• 2:29
  them in the ground because sometimes When you're doing it,
• 2:31
  they might say, you have five hundred seeds.
• 2:33
  But oh my god. Do you even see them?
• 2:35
  Same thing with carrots. It's maddening.
• 2:37
  So there are places High mowing in case any of you are looking
• 2:42
  High, mowing seed company is a company that has all organic
• 2:46
  seeds and they have lettuce seeds that I have had massively
• 2:49
  good luck with and they are coded so that you can actually
• 2:54
  see them. But anyway, let's get back to
• 2:56
  it. I'm not planting the seed for
• 2:59
  the fact that I Like these little coded seeds on planting
• 3:02
  it because there's an intention to end up with heads of lettuce.
• 3:05
  And those intentions are just the most exciting thing to me
• 3:10
  because I can clearly see, I can clearly clearly see that spring
• 3:16
  is just a reinvigorate. ER and you go out there and you
• 3:20
  put the seeds in the ground and you wait and you wait and you
• 3:25
  wait and you hope for seeing something, pop up in a line
• 3:28
  because you're planting them in a line because you In a sign
• 3:31
  that what you're doing is working, you just want to see
• 3:35
  them, come up, you just want to see the emergence of something.
• 3:38
  And then that's the piece where you get, like, so thrilled
• 3:41
  because it's worked, it's working.
• 3:43
  And then you feel like, okay, I can set this on its path.
• 3:46
  If I give it the right food, if I give it the right water, if I
• 3:49
  give it the right conditions, it is going to grow.
• 3:52
  Well, think about this, in terms of yourself.
• 3:54
  What seeds are you planting this season for yourself?
• 3:58
  What seeds in Spring mean. We're just starting.
• 4:00
  You quarter, we're at that very beginning, we are definitely on
• 4:05
  task with are getting our heads clear out of that winter fog.
• 4:10
  And we're like, okay, what what am I doing for myself.
• 4:14
  So besides planting gardens and besides cleaning your house and
• 4:19
  doing that kind of stuff for yourself, what are the things
• 4:21
  that you're doing? What are you putting those
• 4:24
  little intentions in the ground? Not about those little small
• 4:27
  steps in the beginning, but the intention of the big outcome,
• 4:30
  Come and staying focused on the big outcome and realizing that
• 4:35
  every single one of those little intentions, like watering the
• 4:38
  seed feeding, it making sure it doesn't have weeds around it.
• 4:42
  Those are bad, thoughts, by the way, in this metaphor, if you're
• 4:45
  interested in knowing that keeping those weeds away, bad
• 4:49
  thoughts, is this even going to work?
• 4:52
  I have to tell you when I plant seeds, I don't sit there and say
• 4:55
  to myself every day. I wonder if this is working.
• 4:58
  I wonder if this is working. I walk out there and I'm like
• 5:01
  I'm excited. I can't wait to see them.
• 5:04
  Every bit I plant is with the intention that it's already
• 5:08
  happened and that's what we have to do with ourselves hard work
• 5:12
  though because there's so much negativity around anything that
• 5:15
  you're doing. So remember use the same skill
• 5:18
  set that you can adopt over from planting a garden planting
• 5:23
  seeds, you know, even if you're not a gardener, because I know I
• 5:26
  have some people that I love dearly that listen to this, that
• 5:29
  are not gardeners. Think about this when you go out
• 5:33
  and you buy flowers for your yard and you plant your flowers
• 5:37
  and you get your flower baskets and you do all that, you have an
• 5:41
  intention of keeping them alive. You have an intention of caring
• 5:44
  for them and you have an intention of them, growing
• 5:47
  bigger and looking more robust and more beautiful.
• 5:50
  That's what you have to do with yourself.
• 5:52
  Focus on the intention of seeing it, as if it's already done,
• 5:56
  work on that piece of your mindset with this.
• 5:59
  And I Miss you, you won't want to go out there every day and
• 6:02
  dig the seat up. You won't want to go out there
• 6:05
  because you'll just trust in the fact that it's happening and
• 6:07
  you'll trust and how you show up with what you're doing and it
• 6:10
  will all come together wonderfully.
• 6:13
  So, I hope you guys have a fun day gardening, because I know
• 6:15
  I'm going to and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:18
  Bye.
