- 0:27Hey, everybody. Good.
- 0:29Morning from the. Porch because it's so foggy out
- 0:32here. We cannot even see.
- 0:34Like in front of us. So I'm on the porch.
- 0:37Today. OK, so.
- 0:39Today we. Are talking about the most
- 0:41common question that I get asked.
- 0:43Am I crazy? Like I.
- 0:45Can't tell you how funny it is that.
- 0:47I get. That question.
- 0:48But it's. Always in reference to having
- 0:51these disempowering thoughts that happen over and over again,
- 0:54it's like, well, I keep having this and I I thought.
- 0:56I dealt with that. I thought we talked about it,
- 0:58but it's back. It's back like the plague.
- 1:00And am I crazy? Am I crazy?
- 1:03And the reality is no. You are.
- 1:05Quite common, so I wanted to talk to you.
- 1:08About this today, because I think everybody has these.
- 1:12Disempowering Thoughts. There's no question in my mind
- 1:15that we all have disempowering. Thoughts.
- 1:18I. Have them.
- 1:19I have negative thoughts. Even still.
- 1:23About doing the podcast. We would think.
- 1:25OK, we're three years into it. We're listened to in 20
- 1:28countries we have. All these people that are
- 1:30regular followers. And guess what?
- 1:33I'll still. Go oh, I wonder if people will
- 1:34keep listening. And and it's a completely
- 1:37disempowering thought now. Is it possible to?
- 1:41Stop disempowering thoughts. You know, I've again a question
- 1:45that I have considered for myself.
- 1:47Is it? Possible.
- 1:48To stop them 100%. And the answer is no, no it is
- 1:52not possible, no matter how wonderful things are going.
- 1:55No matter. How perfect?
- 1:57You get everything going. How many times?
- 1:59Consider this like, how many times have you gotten everything
- 2:02just in the flow? You feel fantastic.
- 2:05You're like, everything's clicking.
- 2:06I'm doing such a great job, and then all of a sudden your
- 2:09thought goes, well, how long is that going to stay?
- 2:13What happens next? When will the other?
- 2:15Shoe drop. We all have those, in fact.
- 2:18Quite honestly, I have them and they show up in my mother's.
- 2:21Voice because she was so worried about.
- 2:24Everything. And I heard it so much that I.
- 2:26Hear those. Things Oh no.
- 2:28When's it going to happen? When do you think they're going
- 2:30to say no, you can't go anymore? When do you think they're not
- 2:33going to show up? And I'm like, Oh my gosh, how is
- 2:37it that I'm hearing it in her voice, but it's not her, It's
- 2:40me. And it's me putting these
- 2:44thoughts into my head and me doing it and not even being
- 2:48conscious of it until it's out there and I see it, hear it.
- 2:51Feel it. That's how it happens.
- 2:54So. The truth is.
- 2:56You can you stop them? No, you can't stop them.
- 2:59We are not going to go into. Be a.
- 3:01Buddhist monk living in a temple high.
- 3:03On a. Hill meditating 20 hours a day.
- 3:06That's not happening. So we have to accept the fact.
- 3:09That we are going to have. These thoughts like that's flat.
- 3:12Out it we're going to have these thoughts and.
- 3:15They're they're part of who we are.
- 3:17They are part of the. Bus How many times have you all?
- 3:19Heard me say it. They're part of the bus.
- 3:22They are. Part of our emotions that are
- 3:24thinking they're helping us, so they're never going to give up,
- 3:28they're just not going to give up.
- 3:29We have to accept. Them and work with them.
- 3:31So when mine show up now my my 100% as soon as I pick up on it,
- 3:37my reaction is consistent. This is not.
- 3:40Resourceful or. I say thank you for sharing.
- 3:44We're not doing that right now. That's probably my most favorite
- 3:47one, but there are times when I just get have to yell at myself
- 3:50and say this is not. Resourceful.
- 3:53Enough, stop and I will use. Like.
- 3:56A tone in my head and. Sometimes I actually have to say
- 3:59it out loud if it's. Intense enough and I have to say
- 4:03it out loud. I will because I I have to.
- 4:06Shift what's going on in my head, and it's sometimes it's
- 4:10stuff that has shown up before. So I know what it looks like, I
- 4:13know what it feels like, I know what it sounds like and I can
- 4:16put a brake on it and quickly, and sometimes it takes a little
- 4:20bit longer. But remember, it's not about not
- 4:23having the. Thoughts.
- 4:25Ever it's about. Course correcting them as.
- 4:28Quickly as you possibly. Can when they show.
- 4:31Up. That's the real key to it.
- 4:34How do I course correct this as quickly?
- 4:36As I can so I don't have these things show up.
- 4:39The way. They do not about getting rid of
- 4:41them. Completely because they believe
- 4:43they're helping. So they want to give you
- 4:45information about. The.
- 4:46The. Negative things that.
- 4:48Could possibly. Happen, and they're doing that.
- 4:51But it's about them. Figuring out.
- 4:55How to communicate with you? So you have to figure.
- 4:57Out how to communicate. Back you.
- 4:59Hear them, you acknowledge them, and you move forward.
- 5:02Otherwise, they'll. Just keep showing up and maybe.
- 5:05You have. To do this 25 times a day, maybe
- 5:07you have to do it 125 times a day.
- 5:10Maybe you do it twice. It's not the question of how
- 5:14many times you have to. Do it.
- 5:16As much as you want to see how. Quickly.
- 5:19You can catch it. And course correct it because
- 5:21when you get really good and you are able to catch it quickly and
- 5:25course correct it. Quickly, then you're not letting
- 5:28it run its pattern, which means you're drawing more of them to
- 5:32you, which cuts down the number of times, which cuts down on
- 5:35the. Flow.
- 5:36Of where you really want to go. So.
- 5:38You're not crazy. It happens.
- 5:40To everyone, myself included. I hope you guys have a very
- 5:44blessed. Day and I will see you tomorrow.
- 5:46Bye.
