- 0:23chickens. Hey everybody.
- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30So today, I want to tell you a little story about something
- 0:32that recently happened to me. We had a situation at our house
- 0:37where we couldn't do laundry and I had to go to the laundromat.
- 0:42Now that in itself is not the story, it's no big deal, things
- 0:46happen. And we had just endless days of
- 0:49rained and alarms on our septic system, we're going off.
- 0:52And so just to be on the safe side rather than taxing the
- 0:55system. I said, okay, I'm going to go to
- 0:57the laundromat and I choose to go to a Lon Her mouth, that's
- 1:01probably 30 minutes from my house just because they've got
- 1:04the best big dryers and I was like, okay I'll do it all at
- 1:07once. I'll get everything done.
- 1:09So we gave me a chance to sit inside the laundromat and
- 1:11actually, you know, work at one of the tables, it's really a
- 1:15nice little place, it's got tables television, you can kind
- 1:18of hang out in there. So as I'm there, listening to
- 1:21this girl on the phone, she probably was in her 20s and she
- 1:24was talking to maybe her a friend, maybe, a parent who
- 1:28couldn't really tell who she was talking to.
- 1:31But the point of the story was the way in which she was talking
- 1:35about herself. I was just fixing ated on the
- 1:39fact that the language of how she was speaking.
- 1:43About herself, was just I hadn't heard anything this - come out
- 1:47of somebody in a long time and one would think I would hear a
- 1:50lot of negative stuff because I work with a lot of people and
- 1:54maybe the Good Fortune, is that because I've been working with
- 1:56people for a long time. They're not talking about
- 1:58themselves that way anymore, but Holy cow, this girl went on and
- 2:03on talking about so dumb, I'm so stupid.
- 2:07I don't understand why I can't get it.
- 2:09I'm an idiot. She went on and on and on
- 2:14talking about and I observed from the situation that this was
- 2:18something to do with work and how what was going on in her job
- 2:22and the the entire time I was there while she was waiting for
- 2:27her wash, the whole time, she was putting in the dryer, she
- 2:30was. Talking loudly.
- 2:31Anyone could hear her and she was talking about how she's made
- 2:36poor decisions. How the she's so disappointed
- 2:39with herself. All I could think of the entire
- 2:43time was this this girl has no clue what these language
- 2:49patterns are doing to her. She doesn't understand that how
- 2:51you speak to yourself, affects everything.
- 2:56What you are saying to yourself, affects the entire well-being.
- 3:00Of your, your soul. So to speak.
- 3:03You're in there. And you are telling yourself all
- 3:06this negative stuff over and over again.
- 3:08There is no chance that you're going to get out of it because
- 3:10you're just entrenched in the belief systems that are that
- 3:14negativity. You are causing a huge piece of
- 3:17that to keep showing up. When you tell yourself, you're
- 3:20stupid, your brain believes it. We are wired to believe what we
- 3:25hear about ourselves from our self, so that's why it's so hard
- 3:29to unwind. Wire negativity because we
- 3:32believe our voice is to be true. And you if you are regular
- 3:35listener and you've heard me say before a really quick way to
- 3:39help yourself is to record positive messages to yourself in
- 3:42your own voice and then listen back to them.
- 3:44Well, that's because we are wired to believe what we hear
- 3:48from our own voice and the opposite of that is incredibly
- 3:53true. That if we keep hearing how
- 3:55stupid we are from ourselves, we are going to believe that, and
- 3:58we are going to live into that, and then we are going.
- 4:00To be stuck. And we are going to go down that
- 4:02road of just being an utter Despair and not being able to
- 4:05get out of it. So today I want to talk to you
- 4:10and remind you just to please pause and listen to what you are
- 4:15saying to yourself. I don't care how small you catch
- 4:19yourself doing this. It's the rain barrel, the poison
- 4:23in the rain barrel analogy. Meaning, if I have a giant rain
- 4:27barrel filled with fresh, wonderful water, And I put One
- 4:31Drop of Poison in it and I say to you, hey, you know what, I'd
- 4:35love to share some water with you.
- 4:36Come on, let's go to my rain barrel.
- 4:37It's the most amazing water. It's been, you know, right out
- 4:40of a Crystal Spring and it's been here and it's ice cold and
- 4:43it's ready to go over. By the way, I just put one drop
- 4:46of cyanide in it but don't worry about it because it's so
- 4:49diluted. It won't.
- 4:50It won't do anything to you. You'd look at me, like I was
- 4:53insane. You'd say, I'm not going to
- 4:55drink that water. I have no intention of drinking
- 4:57that water because it had one Drop of Poison and Logical brain
- 5:01would say, I'm done with that, not touching it.
- 5:05But that's what you do when you speak like that to yourself.
- 5:09That those drops of poison are within you all the time and if
- 5:13you don't stop and pause and clear that out, you are
- 5:17effectively drinking that water from the rain barrel that has a
- 5:21drop of poison in it. So I want you to stop today.
- 5:24I want you to think about what you're telling yourself and for
- 5:27the love of God and all that's holy listen.
- 5:30Into yourself and say, no, this is unacceptable.
- 5:33I'm not going to treat myself that way.
- 5:35I'm going to stop. I'm going to say better things.
- 5:39If you're angry with yourself about something, you can say it
- 5:42in a better way. You can say I was very
- 5:43frustrated with myself right now.
- 5:45And how I acted with this? You can say I made a poor
- 5:49choice. Those might be very true facts,
- 5:51but you don't have to say, I am stupid.
- 5:54I am an idiot. I am so dumb.
- 5:58You don't have to talk about yourself like that.
- 6:00Any other negative way you might have found in this little
- 6:03Discovery process. So go discover go figure it out
- 6:07and change it and please find some positive words to say about
- 6:12yourself. Even if you're just celebrating
- 6:14small little silly things do it. It matters.
- 6:17All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow.
- 6:19Have a great day. Bye.
