• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so So today's a little food
• 0:32
  for thought, okay, have a client.
• 0:35
  That's absolutely a worrier self-proclaimed.
• 0:39
  This isn't something. She would not tell you as well.
• 0:42
  Not talking out of turn. Here, she is a self-proclaimed
• 0:46
  Warrior worries about everything and lets me know, it regularly
• 0:49
  and we've been working on it and is it as bad as it was, when we
• 0:52
  started, not even close. But does she still do it?
• 0:55
  Yes. So in my attempt to influence
• 0:58
  her and let her understand exactly what's going on, I did
• 1:00
  some research and I wanted to share that with you guys today.
• 1:03
  So you may have heard the numbers before I have probably
• 1:07
  mentioned them before that, you know, the average human being
• 1:10
  has between 60 to 80 thousand thoughts a day.
• 1:13
  Now, those numbers I want to be really clear.
• 1:15
  Those numbers have been around for a number of years, and I
• 1:17
  think that they're probably a little skewed at this point.
• 1:21
  Meaning I think they're low compared to what it probably is.
• 1:25
  Now with the rate of speed at which information comes to us in
• 1:28
  which we have to deal with it. Also, I think those numbers are
• 1:30
  a little A little bit just for conversations sake, we are going
• 1:33
  to go and with those numbers. So, think about it 60, to 80
• 1:38
  thousand thoughts a day in the scary thing, is that two-thirds
• 1:41
  of them are repeated from the day before?
• 1:43
  That's what the estimates are. And you know, if we really think
• 1:46
  about how we pattern our days and how we pattern our thoughts,
• 1:49
  those things are probably really true think about how many times
• 1:53
  you think about the same things over and over, think about how
• 1:56
  many times you get irritated about the same things over and
• 1:59
  over. Now, here's the Linked back to
• 2:01
  my worry, your client. So in my research and figuring
• 2:05
  this out, I'm thinking, gosh, you know, she's constantly
• 2:08
  focused on this. So let's just do some math.
• 2:11
  If you spend, I'm being very generous with these numbers, by
• 2:14
  the way, if you spend two hours a day worrying, all right, we
• 2:18
  just say for low numbers, out of 24 hours.
• 2:21
  I spend two of them worrying over the course of a month, you
• 2:28
  lose. So, I mean, think about the
• 2:31
  number of hours that you lose when you start to do this.
• 2:35
  Now, when you tally this all up and you say, I'm going to take
• 2:38
  this out over the, the spectrum of a year.
• 2:42
  You end up losing 30.4, one day's 30.4, one days in a year,
• 2:49
  so you've basically lost a month to whirring.
• 2:51
  Now, those numbers were generous in the sense that it was only
• 2:55
  two hours a day. What if you are four-hour-a-day
• 2:57
  Warrior? What if you just sit and
• 2:59
  despair? R and it's an eight-hour day.
• 3:02
  Think about what you're losing from the projections of
• 3:06
  positivity, or being able to move forward, and then take that
• 3:10
  information and say, if I'm doing that for that, number of
• 3:14
  hours, I'm actually attracting all that crap to me.
• 3:17
  So again, we can extrapolate. We wonder why things happen.
• 3:21
  We wonder why we have the Doom and Gloom umbrella.
• 3:23
  Over us, we under why we, you know, world is like Eeyore, you
• 3:27
  know, think of e or he loses a year.
• 3:30
  Of his life worrying regularly. I know he's a fictional
• 3:34
  character by the way, but I'm just using it as an example, but
• 3:37
  you get the point. This is crazy when you start to
• 3:40
  do the numbers. So I'm going to challenge all of
• 3:43
  you guys to start really thinking about how much time you
• 3:46
  spend worrying. So here we are at the end of the
• 3:48
  year, you know it's I'm shooting this and I Tobar Sixth and we
• 3:54
  are getting ready to go. We're in that last quarter of
• 3:58
  the year and I'm going to throw it out there.
• 4:00
  That you guys need to do a 90 Day Challenge of, I'm getting
• 4:03
  rid of my negative thoughts and I'm going to keep track of them
• 4:06
  and I'm not going to allow them. So if I break the pattern over
• 4:09
  the first, you know, 30 days of the challenge.
• 4:14
  It's still not going to be clear, but the second 30 days,
• 4:17
  you can push it and it gets a little bit easier.
• 4:19
  And by the third 30 days and we finish up the year, you should
• 4:22
  be able to say, okay I am spending more time on the
• 4:25
  positive realm than the - realm the first challenge part of this
• 4:29
  challenge. Is it sucks?
• 4:31
  Let me be really clear about it. When you start recognizing how
• 4:33
  much your negative thoughts take over, and I'm talking it, keep
• 4:36
  these can be stupid things like, you know, okay?
• 4:40
  They're dirty dishes in the sink and I want to kill everyone in
• 4:42
  my house. It can be woe is me the economy,
• 4:46
  your business? It can be anything, it can be
• 4:48
  like oh my God, laundry again is just awful.
• 4:51
  I don't want to do laundry and I don't want to fold clothes whaaa
• 4:54
  and you and you're just spending all the time in worry and
• 4:57
  negativity, worry and negativity.
• 5:00
  I like, what's going to happen. How do I know if this is going
• 5:02
  to happen? Nobody knows what's going to
• 5:04
  happen. Let me tell you something,
• 5:06
  nobody knows what's going to happen.
• 5:07
  Even the best predictors out there.
• 5:09
  Can't predict what's going to happen.
• 5:11
  I spent the last couple weeks watching this whole thing unfold
• 5:15
  with the hurricane here where we live in South Carolina and they
• 5:19
  we were told it was going to hit in one spot and guess what?
• 5:22
  We were also told we live in a cone of uncertainty, I love when
• 5:26
  they use that term right for me, a certainty driven person when
• 5:29
  they use the term a One of uncertainty drives me up a wall.
• 5:33
  However, guess what? Didn't hit.
• 5:35
  Exactly on us. It moves North.
• 5:38
  We never know what's going to happen.
• 5:39
  None of us. So I think what's so important?
• 5:42
  What's so important is to push the positivity, push yourself to
• 5:46
  believe something greater than what is.
• 5:49
  It is your, the limitation, you know, I often been said to a
• 5:53
  client's stop arguing for your limitations argue for your
• 5:56
  greatness. Why do you want to argue for
• 5:58
  your limitations? It sucks.
• 6:00
  It sucks. And guess what?
• 6:02
  Every day you get a little bit older and do you really want to
• 6:06
  be this way? So we're going to do away with
• 6:09
  the whirring, take the challenge on say for the next 90 days.
• 6:12
  I am going to work on, removing worry from my focus, I'm going
• 6:16
  to remove worry and I'm going to put in positivity and every time
• 6:19
  a negative thought comes up, I'm going to challenge it with,
• 6:22
  what's a positive way to look at this?
• 6:23
  What's another way? I can change this or just walk
• 6:26
  away and don't allow yourself to have your joy.
• 6:30
  I stolen. So I hope you guys have a very
• 6:32
  blessed day today and don't worry we'll be here tomorrow.
• 6:36
  See you then? Bye.
• 6:30
  I stolen. So I hope you guys have a very
• 6:32
  blessed day today and don't worry we'll be here tomorrow.
• 6:36
  See you then? Bye.
