  Hey everybody, good morning from the very noisy chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So question of the day, how do you know when enough is enough?
• 0:36
  And that can that question can be represented in many
• 0:39
  situations, but overall, how do you know when you hit your wall?
• 0:44
  Do you even have a clue? Here's something that's really
• 0:48
  important to recognize going through this part of the year.
• 0:52
  You must start paying attention to when you've had enough, when
• 0:55
  you need to rest, when you need to pull back, when you need to
• 0:59
  put yourself in a new situation, when it whether it's at work,
• 1:03
  whether it's personally, whatever you have to know, when
• 1:06
  is enough, enough? And here's something that I've
• 1:10
  learned over the years of coaching many people who are
• 1:15
  dealing with others making decisions.
• 1:18
  If you wait to get your clients to the point where they are in
• 1:23
  the middle of the emotional situation to figure out what
• 1:27
  their pain points are and have them say at that point in time,
• 1:30
  yes or no, you've waited too long.
• 1:33
  Because when emotions go up, intelligence goes down and
• 1:37
  people need to make decisions prior to going in the the, they
• 1:42
  need to put the bumpers up. They need to understand these
• 1:44
  are the parameters in which these decisions will be made.
• 1:46
  And when those parameters are hit, then we can make a
• 1:49
  decision. And it's the same thing for
• 1:51
  this. When is enough enough?
• 1:52
  So let's say you have a situation right now that you're
• 1:56
  dealing with and it is tolerable, but you don't like
• 2:01
  it. And every day it niggles at you
• 2:04
  a little bit. It just annoys you.
• 2:06
  It just pokes at you. It's like having a little tiny
• 2:09
  Pebble in your shoe, but you know it doesn't feel good.
• 2:13
  And you continue to walk and you have the Pebble in your shoe and
• 2:15
  you don't stop and take it off because it's a pain in the butt
• 2:17
  to retie your shoe. And then by the end of the day,
• 2:20
  you get home and your whole side of your foot is sore because you
• 2:22
  started walking heavy so you wouldn't have that little thing
• 2:27
  niggling you. And all of a sudden now your hip
• 2:30
  hurts. And before you know it, your
• 2:32
  shoulder hurts. And you're like, geez, I don't
• 2:34
  understand what's going on here. And you go to the chiropractor
• 2:37
  and he's like, well, it seems like you're walking off.
• 2:39
  And you think to yourself, that's funny.
• 2:42
  He says, do you have good shoes? Are you walking with this?
• 2:44
  He's asking you questions while he's fixing you.
• 2:46
  And it turns out you remember in that moment that you had that
• 2:50
  rock in your shoe, and you didn't take that rock out.
• 2:53
  Now, this is a metaphor, obviously, but how many times
• 2:56
  have we done that? I mean, I know I'm out here
• 2:59
  walking all day long and I might have something in my shoe and I
• 3:02
  don't stop and take it off right away.
• 3:04
  And then I have to remember this is not going to feel good.
• 3:07
  Stop and take it off. And then when I do, I feel so
• 3:10
  much better. It's the same thing.
• 3:12
  It's the same exact thing when it comes to having these
• 3:16
  situations show up. So you have to sit and take
• 3:19
  inventory of your life. It's one of the things that is a
• 3:22
  must. Every client that I work with,
• 3:25
  we take inventory. What's working, what's not
• 3:27
  working, what could be better. Some of them aren't always good
• 3:31
  at taking the inventory, and I have to bring up the
• 3:34
  observations for them, which is fine, but I'll be like, well, it
• 3:37
  seems like this. And then they can say yes or no.
• 3:40
  When you start asking these pertinent questions, you can
• 3:44
  start to make grand shifts very easily because you recognize
• 3:49
  it's the rock in the shoe. That's what we're looking for.
• 3:52
  It's the rock in the shoe. And then sometimes making shifts
• 3:55
  is not easy. I mean, let me be very clear
• 3:57
  about it. Sometimes changing what you're
• 3:59
  living in and with and tolerating is not easy, but the
• 4:03
  first step in that is recognizing that's the piece
• 4:07
  that that's sitting there. That's the part that's there.
• 4:09
  And you have to know, well, when is enough enough?
• 4:11
  When am I going to be so sick of this that I'm going to get rid
• 4:15
  of it now? I suffered from that myself
• 4:17
  about years ago when I was riddled with anxiety and I kept
• 4:22
  dealing with it and trying to figure it out, trying to figure
• 4:25
  it out. And then my one of my very first
• 4:28
  events where I saw Tony Robbins live, he was on stage and he
• 4:31
  said, are you just sick and tired of being sick and tired?
• 4:34
  And I burst into tears because I was, I was sick and tired of
• 4:38
  being sick and tired. And that was my when is enough
• 4:42
  enough. And as soon as I had that, I was
• 4:45
  like, now, now it is time. And that was a, that was a
• 4:48
  turning point for me psychologically because I could
• 4:51
  say I've had enough of myself and I'm not putting up with
• 4:54
  myself anymore. And as soon as that distinction
• 4:56
  was made, everything started to change.
• 4:59
  So I encourage you to figure that out for yourself because
• 5:02
  it's a turning point. It it's a benchmark.
• 5:05
  It's something that gives you such an ability and clarity to
• 5:08
  be able to change your world when you focus on that.
• 5:13
  So go figure out when is enough enough in any situation and say,
• 5:17
  what am I going to do now? What is my next step?
• 5:20
  What do I want to have as an outcome?
• 5:22
  What is my next small step to getting rid of it?
• 5:26
  And then all of a sudden, life starts to change.
• 5:29
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:31
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
