• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So today we're talking about
• 0:33
  changing your mind and really being OK with the fact that you
• 0:38
  can change your mind. I have had multiple people
• 0:41
  recently say, well, I made that decision and I don't feel that
• 0:45
  that decision was the best decision I could have made and I
• 0:47
  I I. But I feel like I have to stick
• 0:49
  with it. And I OK, explain to me what the
• 0:52
  reason is. You feel like you have to stick
• 0:54
  with it. Well, I made the decision.
• 0:56
  I understand that. You made the decision.
• 0:57
  Did you make the decision with all the information you
• 0:59
  currently have? No, not really.
• 1:01
  I'm. I mean, I've got more
• 1:03
  information now. OK, So if you have more
• 1:05
  information now then you did then, and you made a decision
• 1:07
  based on facts that were not completely present, what's the
• 1:10
  reason you're hanging on to the decision?
• 1:13
  Well I feel like I have to be a person that sticks to my
• 1:16
  decisions. Yes.
• 1:17
  But if you made the decision and it was a decision that didn't
• 1:20
  give you all of that now you have to re evaluate and then
• 1:24
  they stand there stumped because well, I just don't know if
• 1:29
  that's OK. So this today, this is this is
• 1:33
  what this is about. It's about are you OK changing
• 1:36
  your mind. Do you allow yourself to change
• 1:38
  your mind without beating the crap out of yourself for it and
• 1:43
  looking truly at did I make the best decision for who I was at
• 1:47
  that moment in time? Probably, maybe not.
• 1:51
  Maybe it was a terrible decision and you're willing to change it
• 1:54
  based on the fact that it was terrible.
• 1:55
  But these are more of the ones that are tend to be subtle
• 1:59
  because you you did them when you thought you were making the
• 2:03
  right decision. You did you made the choice when
• 2:05
  you thought you were clear headed.
• 2:07
  But emotions are tricky and they help us navigate ourselves.
• 2:11
  As we've talked about many times.
• 2:13
  We are all, we are spiritual beings having an emotional
• 2:16
  experience here, a physical experience here, and we use our
• 2:20
  emotions as a navigation system and the emotions are not always
• 2:25
  clear. So if I it's why I always say
• 2:28
  when emotions go up intelligence goes down and we're constantly
• 2:32
  having to come back to a place where our emotions are put aside
• 2:35
  so that we can make an intelligent decision and trying
• 2:40
  to not just be emotionally driven all the time but but but
• 2:46
  but but but there's a big but here you are allowed to change
• 2:49
  your mind. You are allowed to change your
• 2:50
  mind. You can still be decisive, You
• 2:53
  can still make quick decisions, You can still do all the
• 2:57
  wonderful things in the process that everyone tells us highly
• 3:00
  successful people do because you're allowed to change your
• 3:04
  mind. You're allowed to say, I now
• 3:06
  have more information and I want to recalibrate the direction I'm
• 3:09
  going in. I'm going to look at this
• 3:11
  differently and I'm going to move forward on a new course.
• 3:15
  The most important part of this is not beating yourself up for
• 3:19
  it. When you discover that there's
• 3:21
  something that you want to shift, change, outline, you know
• 3:25
  a new direction, you've got to give yourself that permission.
• 3:29
  Consciously saying it's OK, I'm changing my mind.
• 3:33
  There are things on this farm that I change my mind on all the
• 3:36
  time, How I've set things up, what I'm planting, where I want
• 3:40
  to put new things out here on the farm.
• 3:42
  It is a constant evolution based on facts that come up.
• 3:46
  I placed the Flower garden in the spot two years ago and the
• 3:51
  flower Garden was it two years ago?
• 3:53
  Is this my second year with it? Can't remember if it was a year
• 3:55
  or two years, but it's in a spot where it it just fundamentally
• 4:00
  does not allow the flowers to get to the best version of
• 4:03
  themselves. I know that now.
• 4:06
  I made a decision based on what I thought was going to be
• 4:10
  accurate, but it wasn't. And so now I'm going to change
• 4:14
  it. I'm going to shift it.
• 4:15
  I'm going to move it somewhere else.
• 4:17
  Now, does that mean I'm going to do it right this moment?
• 4:20
  I don't know. It depends.
• 4:21
  I've got to go through this, getting trees cut down, making a
• 4:24
  different spot, clearing out stuff so that the oaks can grow.
• 4:28
  There are so many little factors in this whole thing.
• 4:31
  But I allow myself now not to beat myself up about saying,
• 4:34
  well, you trucked in all that great dirt for all that and now
• 4:38
  it's just going to sit there and be in the shape.
• 4:40
  No it's not. I'm actually going to put shade
• 4:44
  parts, sun part, shade flowers in there.
• 4:46
  I can change my mind, I can shift my decisions, I can put
• 4:51
  things in a different perspective when I stop and
• 4:55
  pause about them. However, facts are facts.
• 5:00
  I can't grow 100% sun loving flowers in the shade.
• 5:04
  So I have to do something about it, change my mind.
• 5:07
  I can also do that with clients that I work with.
• 5:11
  If if I'm not a good match with a client, I can say, hey,
• 5:13
  listen, I gave it a shot. I don't think we're a good
• 5:16
  match. I think we should move on.
• 5:17
  I think I can recommend someone better to you, and I do that
• 5:21
  because it's what's right for me and it's right for them.
• 5:24
  Anything in your world, you are allowed to change your mind, as
• 5:29
  long as you do it from a place that is much more thoughtful,
• 5:33
  where you pause and you get yourself back into a place of
• 5:36
  being thoughtful. OK, my friends, I hope you have
• 5:39
  a blessed day changing your mind and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:43
  Bye.
