- 0:27Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30So let's talk about the ripple effect when it comes to your
- 0:33emotions. Actually, we could substitute
- 0:36any subject into the ripple effect with this, but I'm going
- 0:39to just base it on emotions right now.
- 0:41But we all understand that when you drop a rock in the water, it
- 0:44creates a ripple effect and. Those things go on and on and on
- 0:47and on and on and on and it looks like.
- 0:49This very cool graphic. Imagery that happens on the
- 0:53pond, Well, there's actually energy involved in these things.
- 0:57And when you have the stone go in, it displaces the water and
- 1:01there's a ripple effect that takes place.
- 1:03Well, it works like that across life as well.
- 1:06So when you have a great attitude and you're dropping a
- 1:10great attitude into your day, into your morning, whatever it
- 1:13might be, it creates a ripple in the world.
- 1:16It creates a ripple in your energy.
- 1:18It creates an action and sets the tone.
- 1:22For the day, the moment moving forward, there's a very distinct
- 1:26pattern that happens. And there's power in that
- 1:29pattern, like a lot of power in that pattern, so.
- 1:32Something to really remember in this process of doing this and
- 1:37thinking about this is that you have the ability, You 100% have
- 1:41the ability to take on that responsibility of dropping that
- 1:45rock and watching it affect everything else in your life.
- 1:48It can affect not just your morning, but it can affect your
- 1:51afternoon. It'll affect your whole day,
- 1:53which will affect your whole week, which will affect your
- 1:55whole month, which will affect your whole year and
- 1:58recalibrating when. You have that ripple go off very
- 2:03important distinction being able to fix it if you soon as you
- 2:07recognize it. But just the distinction of
- 2:10saying what ripples am I going to put out in the world today
- 2:14with my energy is so fun to just say, OK, today I want to just
- 2:18be. I want to focus on just be
- 2:20really giving. I want to be focusing on being
- 2:23really creative like pick your theme for that ripple and drop
- 2:26that rock. Powerful stuff to have happen
- 2:30and the beautiful. Part is, no one can take it away
- 2:32from you. You can do it any way you want.
- 2:35It's your rock. It's your ripple to put in there
- 2:37and say this is where I'm putting my focus today.
- 2:41This is what I'm putting out there for the greater good of
- 2:44myself and everybody around me. So oftentimes there's a.
- 2:50In a fact, like if somebody has a negative rock and they drop
- 2:54it, there's a ripple effect that will go through people's lives,
- 2:57their houses. So sometimes you end up with
- 2:59negative people in your house and you're just like, Oh my
- 3:01gosh, this is awful. This is just one of those things
- 3:04I can't stand. There's so negative.
- 3:06And and believe me, I have lived to that in my life.
- 3:10And I know it is not fun, but guess what?
- 3:13You can overtake it by putting out a bigger dropping a bigger
- 3:17rock of kindness, or a great attitude.
- 3:20Attitude or just sending out love and not having this feeling
- 3:25of it's going to overtake you. So we don't do this.
- 3:28I want to be very clear about this.
- 3:29We don't do this just to shift another person's emotion.
- 3:32What we do is to do this, to not let them shift hours.
- 3:37And then if if they just have a bad attitude in general, then
- 3:40that's a different day for a different podcast.
- 3:42Because then you have to decide why am I surrounding myself with
- 3:44these people? But fundamentally, you're
- 3:48dropping those rocks to keep yourself happy.
- 3:50You're dropping those rocks to override.
- 3:52You're dropping the rocks to set the tone for you, not for
- 3:56everybody else. It starts with you.
- 3:58And then once you participate in your own rescue, then everybody
- 4:01else can start to participate in their own rescue, and so forth
- 4:05and so on. But you worry about you.
- 4:07It's kindergarten rules, my friends.
- 4:09You focus on you, and before you know it, the magic starts to
- 4:12happen. It's once we start focusing on
- 4:14everybody else and we start to have trouble.
- 4:16So it's it's a it's a very much of A choice to say I'm going to
- 4:23put this out there today and I promise you it's really cool
- 4:28when you do it. When you just say, hey, I've got
- 4:30this and I tend to sometimes even theme my month and I'll
- 4:33pick, hey, I'm going to focus on this for the whole month.
- 4:36I'm going to do, you know, make this a creative month or I'm
- 4:39going to make this about a learning month and every day I'm
- 4:43dropping those little pieces out there in the world and.
- 4:46I will promise you they come back in waves that are just
- 4:51amazing. So go choose the rocks you want
- 4:54to drop, make some amazing ripples and I will see you guys
- 4:57tomorrow. I hope you have a blessed day.
- 4:59Bye.
