- 0:29Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30Who voices of Doubt. Boy, these are an interesting
- 0:35little thing and I hadn't experienced myself this week
- 0:37with it. Because, you know, you think you
- 0:38have some of these handled, you're in the middle of some
- 0:41pressure project, we are trying to put together, some new and
- 0:46exciting things that are going to be coming out in about a
- 0:49month and I had to come up. I was tasked with the assignment
- 0:55of coming up with a domain name for something and I was just
- 1:01like, okay I'm diving in. I'm excited, I sat down at the
- 1:06counter, I was ready to do it. I had my papers all spread out
- 1:10and six hours later, I'm still sitting there and I'm ready to
- 1:14rip my hair out by the roots. I'm saying, oh my God, there's a
- 1:19stream of - like things coming out of my mouth including
- 1:24something that sounded like I certainly need to kill it at
- 1:27this point which was so Not like me to get like that but I didn't
- 1:33anticipate. When I sat down to do it, the
- 1:36amount of energy, it was going to take to come up with
- 1:39something because everything that I came up with that I liked
- 1:43was either already taken or it was it parked domain with a
- 1:47ridiculous name and they are charging premiums for it, which
- 1:50I just hop on principle. It's the wrong thing to do, but
- 1:53they do it and there's no way I'm going to partake in it.
- 1:56So needless to say, six hours later I'm sitting there,
- 2:00Frustrated swearing really irritated that I can't come up
- 2:05with something and I couldn't tell you if I was more irritated
- 2:09with the situation myself, I couldn't tell you particularly
- 2:14what was causing that level but I could just tell you overall it
- 2:18was not a great feeling and then I was like, okay pause I get up
- 2:22like okay, what can I learn in this moment?
- 2:24What do I need to do? I need to shake this off.
- 2:27I need to go somewhere. I need to get out of here for a
- 2:29little while. So we went out, we had some
- 2:32Mexican food which is awesome and came back, get on the phone
- 2:37with my friend. And I'm like, okay, I'm thinking
- 2:40she starts brainstorming With Me.
- 2:43Now, mind you anytime I talk to my friends about this stuff, I
- 2:45feel better because they typically I keep a very tight
- 2:49Circle and I don't discuss things with people.
- 2:52As I've said many times on here unless they're trusted resources
- 2:55and the ladies, I talked to our trusted resources, they're not
- 2:58coming at anything negatively. That being said, she starts with
- 3:03me, we keep going back and forth and we can't get it.
- 3:06Everything that we come up with is taken or it's like meth.
- 3:10It's not great. So, in this situation and we've
- 3:14all been there, it doesn't matter if we're talking about a
- 3:16domain name or what not. The thing that I recognized the
- 3:21thing that I kept doing was going.
- 3:24Ah. So this was demonstrating the
- 3:27energy. I was at because once I got into
- 3:30it I had been in this state for so long.
- 3:33I'm not used to being in that state.
- 3:35It's not a place. I go to regularly and as I'm
- 3:38doing it it's not getting any better.
- 3:40My friends. It's just getting worse and
- 3:41worse and worse. So I'm sitting there and I'm
- 3:43repeating the same things that are the problem over and over
- 3:47and over again. Which we know is not going to
- 3:49Into success. So finally, I say to her,
- 3:51listen, we'll take care of the kids.
- 3:54I'm going to just get up, I'm gonna go take a shower, I'm
- 3:57gonna break my state, I'm going to come up with something and
- 4:01then I sat there, I hung up with her.
- 4:02And I sat there for a second. I was like, my state is so far
- 4:06off. It's, it's like, I my got off my
- 4:10bus and I ran down the street because I was so frustrated.
- 4:13So, I picked up. I said, you know what?
- 4:15I'm just going to read a little bit and I picked up and I
- 4:16grabbed a book from Neville Goddard and I Started reading it
- 4:20which I've read bazillion times but it doesn't matter.
- 4:23It always resets me. So I started reading it, just
- 4:25random Pages flipping, random Pages, random Pages, got myself
- 4:30to feel better. This is the key, I started to
- 4:33like okay the chatter in my head started to diminish and then I
- 4:37started to feel somewhat better so then I went and I took the
- 4:41shower, I came back from taking the shower, I felt much better
- 4:45because I was out of my head that whole time.
- 4:48So I was just Nope, I'm not thinking about it.
- 4:50Every time I had would start to spin I go.
- 4:52No, I'm not thinking about it. No, I'm not thinking about it.
- 4:55Nope, I'm not going to think about this.
- 4:57I'm not going to think about this.
- 4:58What I'm going to do is focus on seeing it as if it's done,
- 5:01seeing it as if it's done, seeing the project as if it's
- 5:04done. But at this point it was not as
- 5:08hard as it was earlier and I had a little bit more control over
- 5:13that chatter the - chatter of doubt.
- 5:15And then all of a sudden, boom, something popped into my head.
- 5:18I Checked. It it was available.
- 5:21I texted my friend. She's like oh when you know,
- 5:23when you get the ooh text, you're like, all right, I'm on
- 5:26to something so needless to say, I broke the pattern but nothing
- 5:33was going to happen. While I was in that pattern.
- 5:35Nothing was going to happen. I wasn't going to come up with
- 5:38something because you can't force it that phrase when
- 5:42someone says oh you know you just can't think about don't
- 5:44force it and we agree with that principally but the As we go off
- 5:50and we keep trying to force trying to force and all
- 5:54afternoon for about of those six hours that I sat and worked on
- 5:58it. I will tell you without question
- 6:00about five of them maybe four and a half of them were me
- 6:04trying to force it because I had I was already frustrated because
- 6:08I have a tendency to be able to walk in and go.
- 6:10Boom, I got it. Boom, I got it and this time I
- 6:13didn't have it. So it was really freaking me out
- 6:18that I couldn't get it. At pissing me off more than
- 6:20freaking me out. But well, actually, it was a
- 6:22little bit freaking me out because I was so I was in a
- 6:24hurry. I wanted to get it done.
- 6:26I wasn't in the right state of mind.
- 6:28Everything I was doing was wrong, and that's why I wasn't
- 6:32getting it. So once I relaxed and I was able
- 6:34to do it, we were there. So I just want to point out to
- 6:37you even when you think, you know, this stuff.
- 6:39Even when you think you have it you have to still shake off the
- 6:43negative energy. Listen to the doubt, listen to
- 6:46doubt when doubt shows up like that and it keeps coming.
- 6:49And your voice is like, I'm never gonna get this, I'm never
- 6:51gonna get this. Oh my God.
- 6:52What the hell is going on, right?
- 6:54When you start doing those things, that's the sign for.
- 6:57Go take a break. Don't be a dumbass.
- 7:01So hopefully, this is helpful. Hopefully, you got my point and
- 7:06don't have any doubtful thoughts today like that.
- 7:08Just don't let them wear you down.
- 7:11All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow.
- 7:12Bye.
