- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:31Do you think that you contribute to the things that you don't
- 0:34like in your life? It's hard question to ask
- 0:38yourself, but do you think you contribute to it?
- 0:41I can stand here resounding and tell you that.
- 0:44I know when I argue with my husband because we all do I
- 0:48don't care how good you are at what you do.
- 0:50My husband and I have just as many challenges as anybody else
- 0:53because we are two very stubborn people and we have just as many
- 0:57challenges but I know I can stand here and I can tell you
- 1:01because I'm not in an emotional state, because we've talked
- 1:03before about when emotions go up, intelligence goes down now.
- 1:05And my emotions are high. I think everything is his fault
- 1:08and that is just the truth. I will sit here and tell you
- 1:11everything is his fault when I'm more reasonable.
- 1:13When I'm level-headed when I have pulled, my bus drivers back
- 1:17in I can say yeah I do contribute to the things that I
- 1:21don't like in that and often we do that, not just in our
- 1:25relationship, but across the board, we contribute to the
- 1:27things that we don't like because we get emotional, we Get
- 1:31into a heightened State, we slip into the patterns.
- 1:35We don't want to make it about what we have to change.
- 1:37We want to make it about what others have to change and then
- 1:40we struggle because we're unhappy.
- 1:43But the truth is, we all contribute to the things we
- 1:47don't like because we put focus on them, we keep putting focus
- 1:51on them, we keep calling attention to it.
- 1:53We keep pointing things out that are not what we ultimately want
- 1:57to have and really desire to have.
- 2:00But we Kiss on it way more than we should.
- 2:03Once we get the information. Now you've heard, if you're a
- 2:05regular listener, you've heard me say before when things show
- 2:07up that aren't great, they're there to give you information
- 2:10and then you make decisions about what to do next at some
- 2:13point in time. It may turn out that, you know,
- 2:15your urine have a situation, whether it's relationship or
- 2:18work or whatever that you just say, you know what, this is just
- 2:21not for me anymore and you walk away, but you do it from a place
- 2:25of Peace, not of angry, you do it in a place of acknowledgement
- 2:29that you have reached the end of your Your rope but not in Anger,
- 2:33just in like resolved, that this isn't going to change the people
- 2:36who are in charge, are not going to change the other person
- 2:39that's in. Your relationship is not working
- 2:41on it as well, and then you make a decision but not from anger
- 2:45and that's the trick to all of this.
- 2:47It's that if you're contributing to something that you don't like
- 2:52by being angry along with it, instead of just looking at it
- 2:55from a neutral, emotional standpoint, you can't resolve
- 3:00it. Can't get clarity and you will
- 3:02drive yourself insane trying to fix something that is
- 3:07essentially you're blinded by it because you're so emotionally
- 3:12tied to it and that emotion while it's such a great
- 3:16delineator in helping us know what we have to focus on.
- 3:19Is not good for helping us figure out the solutions because
- 3:23our emotions will be too high and we will be ask you.
- 3:26We will not be able to see clearly.
- 3:28That's why we have to clear our heads.
- 3:30That's why you have to Step away from it.
- 3:32That's why you need to go for a walk.
- 3:34You need to take a break, you know, think it cool off and then
- 3:38come back to it. So I'm going to challenge you
- 3:42guys to actually ask yourself, you know, what am I contributing
- 3:45to in my life, that I don't like, why?
- 3:48Why, why do you continuously allow yourself to go to that
- 3:52place and pull yourself into it? If you know you don't like it?
- 3:58Well obviously, you're getting something from it, even if it's
- 4:00just The association of the emotion of being irritated,
- 4:05sometimes, we get addicted to being irritated.
- 4:07Sometimes we get addicted to being dysfunctional and it's
- 4:12just the only thing. We remember because of recency
- 4:15bias, but it's not who you really are, and you can pull
- 4:18yourself out of it, but you have to get to that frame of what do
- 4:22I Do myself that contributes to this because if you can answer
- 4:27questions, honestly, about yourself, you have a better
- 4:30chance of Shifting your life. If you cut back and you don't
- 4:34answer questions, you're just going to keep doing the same
- 4:37Loop and you're going to be in the same place and one day turns
- 4:40into two turns into 10, turns into 365, and before, you know,
- 4:44it a whole year has gone by and you're no happier than you were
- 4:47before. So, this radical state of
- 4:51acceptance of yourself and figuring out where you are, Our
- 4:54has to be looked at so you can say, I can shift this.
- 4:58All right, my friends. I hope you have a blessed day.
- 5:00I hope you look at yourself and I hope you see the things that
- 5:03you want to change. Because that's the first step.
- 5:06I hope you have a really, really blessed day and I will see you
- 5:08tomorrow. Bye.
