  Good morning from the chicken coop so Today, I want to talk to
• 0:32
  you about the theory of purging. I absolutely love this.
• 0:36
  Getting rid of stuff that you no longer use.
• 0:40
  Not just stuff though, but thoughts that you no longer use,
• 0:43
  or that no longer serve you. So this is going to kind of be a
• 0:46
  dual conversation about going through your things, as well as
• 0:51
  your thoughts. We all know we have too many
• 0:54
  things in our lives that clutter it.
• 0:57
  I don't even care. Like I look at it and I say
• 0:59
  Tupperware. Oh my gosh.
• 1:00
  How many pieces of Tupperware? Do we have that?
• 1:02
  Don't have a top or a bottom yet?
• 1:04
  We keep them as if the other piece is going to show back up
• 1:08
  some randomly time randomly and just match it.
• 1:12
  Socks that have problems clothes that we know we are never going
• 1:17
  to wear again, yet. We keep them and they are in our
• 1:20
  closet cluttering our space. Well, we do the same thing with
• 1:24
  thoughts that we do with clothes and we keep things that no
• 1:27
  longer serve us. So, there are plenty of things
• 1:30
  about Solves about what we do in our lives.
• 1:33
  That don't serve us and that we need to clearly Purge clearly
• 1:39
  get rid of Clearly say, okay, this thought no longer serves
• 1:42
  me. So let me give you an example
• 1:44
  for myself. One of those thoughts that
• 1:46
  clearly doesn't serve me, is that?
• 1:48
  I am uncoordinated. So when I was a kid, I was not
• 1:52
  the sports kid, I was not the one that had this skill to do
• 1:57
  Sports ever. I would be the one that waited
• 1:59
  until all the I'm equipment is gone then I'd walk out and go oh
• 2:02
  I'm sorry there's no equipment left well while it sounds funny.
• 2:06
  It was just it just built on the identity that I was not athletic
• 2:10
  and I was not something that could you know someone who could
• 2:16
  be a sports person. Well then identity kind of
• 2:20
  morphed over my life and I always kind of hung onto a piece
• 2:24
  of it and it's not something that serves me.
• 2:27
  So it's something that I've clearly been trying to work on
• 2:30
  it. Trying to get rid of myself and
• 2:34
  just happens that I had planned to talk about this.
• 2:36
  And, you know, I always say energy provides you with what
• 2:40
  you need and what you need to know, and the universe always
• 2:43
  shows up and God shows you the way.
• 2:44
  So just before I started this podcast this morning, I got a
• 2:48
  message from my neighbor who said, hey, do you want to go
• 2:51
  paddleboarding? Well, I've never gone
• 2:53
  paddleboarding before and I've always wanted to try it but I've
• 2:56
  never done it. And the first thought that came
• 2:58
  into my head was you're not coordinated.
• 3:00
  And how is this going to go? What if you fall off?
• 3:02
  What if she sees you get in the water?
• 3:03
  What if you land in the water? And you're not good at it.
• 3:06
  So all of that happened, right? When I read the message
• 3:09
  instantaneously and I thought to myself, well, now I have a
• 3:12
  choice. I can either say, I'd love to go
• 3:15
  with you. I'd love to try this.
• 3:16
  I'd love to have this be something that I could do and
• 3:20
  just so, you know, I'm this person blahblahblah.
• 3:24
  Well, I made the decision to just confess it all to her,
• 3:27
  because this was something that I planned on talking to Anybody
• 3:31
  about and then I got an example of it right, in my face, one of
• 3:34
  the things that doesn't work for me being non-athletic.
• 3:38
  So I told her and she goes oh I just started doing this myself.
• 3:42
  So it's really no big deal. We'll go without the guys will
• 3:45
  just do it the two of us and we'll give it a shot.
• 3:48
  I thought this is fabulous. I can do this and it's another
• 3:52
  Purge of letting go. So I don't have to focus on the
• 3:57
  fact that I am uncoordinated are Voting this.
• 4:00
  By the way because I'm not uncoordinated.
• 4:03
  I've just, I've never had built the skill of being very
• 4:07
  athletic. And I think we all do these
• 4:10
  things to ourselves where we have these beliefs about
• 4:13
  ourselves, or these thoughts about ourselves, and we need to
• 4:16
  purge them, they no longer serve us and we had to get them out of
• 4:21
  the way so that we can move into a space.
• 4:23
  That is much more thoughtful of where we want to be and who we
• 4:26
  are now. So I'm going to put it out there
• 4:29
  that we have to Get this. Just like we purge our clothes
• 4:32
  and you can start with your clothes, your closets, your
• 4:36
  drawers, whatever it might be. Purge Purge Purge.
• 4:39
  And it while you're doing it, don't make it a simultaneous
• 4:42
  exercise to start thinking about what are the thoughts that I
• 4:46
  need to purge? What are the things that don't
• 4:47
  serve me about myself? What are the things that I
• 4:50
  believe about myself that I just don't want to hang onto anymore
• 4:53
  because they're just icky. They're just not serving you.
• 4:57
  You don't want to be that person.
• 4:59
  I don't want to be that. That person I want to be the
• 5:01
  person that says, I can jump in. I can be adventurous, I can do
• 5:05
  this, I can try this. And sure there will be some
• 5:09
  things that I still won't want to do and there will be plenty
• 5:14
  of things that I want to try like the paddleboarding.
• 5:16
  I mean, living where I live everyone paddle boards.
• 5:18
  So why not try it? Why not see if this is something
• 5:21
  that could be another part of an adventurous life that I want to
• 5:25
  lead and having the opportunity to do, it is a gift that's been
• 5:29
  given to me. Allowing a thought that I have
• 5:32
  or a belief about myself to diminish, me and put me in a
• 5:35
  corner and not allow me to do. It does not serve me.
• 5:38
  So it needs to go and needs to give me a try, I need to give it
• 5:41
  a try. Moving into this new identity,
• 5:44
  so I'm going to give you that challenge.
• 5:47
  Go out, Purge your stuff Purge, your thoughts, get rid of
• 5:51
  anything that doesn't serve you physical or mental, move it on
• 5:55
  out, give it away. Get rid of it in any way, shape,
• 5:59
  or form challenge. It questioned it and move into
• 6:02
  this new identity. I hope you guys have a fantastic
• 6:05
  day and I will see you after. I paddle board, have a great
• 6:08
  day. Bye.
