• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today we are talking about whether or not you can be too
• 0:35
  positive. Someone actually asked me that
• 0:38
  today and I thought, well, it's an interesting question.
• 0:40
  Can you be too positive? So the opposite of that is,
• 0:44
  Will, can you be too? - I think it's really easy when
• 0:46
  you look at the contrast of it and you say to yourself, well,
• 0:50
  is it possible to be too negative?
• 0:51
  And yeah, I nobody wants to be around a negative person.
• 0:54
  So can you be to positive in my opinion?
• 0:58
  And I obviously, when we do these things I'm always When you
• 1:01
  from my flip side of the coin, my professional opinion on this.
• 1:05
  I don't know that you can be to positive, but I think that you
• 1:08
  can do is not be aware of the factors that each side of this
• 1:13
  brings you. So when something, when you're
• 1:15
  looking at the negative side of something or you're paying
• 1:20
  attention to negativity, there is a lesson in it, there's
• 1:23
  something to be taught, there's something to be looked at and
• 1:26
  observed because as you are being negative, you are Taking
• 1:31
  in that information and it gives you something to say.
• 1:34
  Okay, this is something I need to be cautious about pay
• 1:36
  attention to whatever, however, you want to look at it.
• 1:39
  And then if you're on the flip side of it, you know.
• 1:42
  Okay. What are the positives of it and
• 1:44
  looking at the positive side of it gives you information.
• 1:46
  Again, this is all just information at this point.
• 1:51
  I think what, when it becomes a problem is when you start to
• 1:54
  stay in it too long. Like, when you are just looping
• 1:57
  and looping and looping, you are actually programming yourself.
• 2:00
  I love to see the world a certain way and in that
• 2:03
  programme, that becomes your reality, you start creating more
• 2:07
  of the negativity, you start creating those patterns and
• 2:11
  those are not healthy because anything that you stay in it,
• 2:15
  that's not actually adding a huge value of moving towards the
• 2:20
  light side of things love joy. The positive emotions are what
• 2:25
  we know is the healthy part of things, the negative ones, we
• 2:28
  don't want to get rid of them, because they actually do us a A
• 2:30
  huge service. They give us a bunch of
• 2:32
  information to evaluate from and we all need information to
• 2:36
  evaluate from. We don't want to live in it.
• 2:38
  It's like the dirty diaper. I've used this with clients and
• 2:41
  they always laugh when I talk about it but I'm like, you know,
• 2:44
  the dirty diaper. Don't sit in it, change it, it's
• 2:48
  okay if you sit and crap your pants but don't stay in it just
• 2:51
  get rid of it. Understand.
• 2:53
  Okay this was information, I don't need it anymore.
• 2:56
  It's gone. Otherwise you end up with a
• 2:58
  diaper rash and it's all becoming unpleasant.
• 3:00
  And so think of it, like the the light side of the emotions
• 3:06
  really do feed your soul. They help you grow.
• 3:09
  They help you create more of that.
• 3:11
  Same energy, and again energy is everything in emotions are
• 3:14
  energy. So the more you are in a certain
• 3:16
  energy, the more you attract that energy you don't want to
• 3:19
  stay in the ones you don't want. So it's a simple equation not
• 3:24
  necessarily easy to do just because something is simple
• 3:27
  doesn't make it easy. It's a conundrum for us to say,
• 3:33
  okay, I'm going to let go of this or I'm going to change my
• 3:36
  Approach with this or I'm going to try this is certain way
• 3:39
  because we are so attached to the patterns that we have.
• 3:44
  So I know for me, I grew up in a house where my mother always had
• 3:47
  that - protectionism of things first, that's how she always
• 3:52
  looked at the world you had to protect yourself.
• 3:55
  So, did I learn stuff from it? Yeah.
• 3:57
  But I don't want to stay in that and I think when you start to
• 4:01
  decide am I just overly positive you know a client the client
• 4:06
  where we were talking about their said well I'm just
• 4:08
  positive all the time people you know get annoyed with me because
• 4:11
  I'm too positive. I don't think that that's the
• 4:14
  case. I think that if someone's around
• 4:17
  you and your that positive, they appreciate it but I think if
• 4:19
  you're talking about it all the time and you're telling people
• 4:22
  how positive you are all the time, that's the problem.
• 4:25
  People don't want to hear what you are.
• 4:27
  They want to see who you are. They want to You show up a
• 4:30
  certain way but you don't need to talk about it because when we
• 4:32
  become braggadocious, that's the real problem.
• 4:36
  So it's not about just quote, unquote being positive, it's
• 4:40
  about, you don't need to talk about it.
• 4:42
  There's nothing more important than having the strong presence
• 4:44
  of just showing up a certain way.
• 4:46
  And when you just show up a certain way and you have that
• 4:50
  anchor to it, boy, it feels amazing.
• 4:52
  And it feels just like you own it.
• 4:55
  And that's what we're looking for.
• 4:57
  So, hopefully, this helps you today and I can help you
• 5:00
  recognize you can just, you know, be yourself, take it in
• 5:04
  from both sides but spend more time on the lighter side of
• 5:07
  things, spend more time, owning it and know that.
• 5:09
  Those are bringing them things that you want here.
• 5:11
  Like all right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and
• 5:14
  I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
• 4:59
  I can help you recognize you can just, you know, be yourself,
• 5:04
  take it in from both sides but spend more time on the lighter
• 5:06
  side of things, spend more time, owning it and know that.
• 5:09
  Those are bringing them things that you want here.
• 5:11
  Like all right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and
• 5:14
  I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
