  Good morning from the chicken coop and I am In the chicken
• 0:31
  coop today, rain, rain rain rain and more rain.
• 0:34
  So we are inside and it's really actually nice in here with the
• 0:39
  sound on the metal roof, it's pretty cool.
• 0:41
  Anyway, today, we are talking about how you define yourself.
• 0:45
  This is always a fascinating question to ask somebody, or
• 0:49
  even yourself for that matter. Because most of the time we
• 0:52
  don't think about defining ourselves.
• 0:54
  We just think about, you know, what we have to do, and the
• 0:57
  chores of the day and what has to get done and We rarely take
• 1:01
  the time to pause and say wait. How do I Define myself?
• 1:05
  Because we have so many different areas of ourselves.
• 1:09
  Most of us have relationships, whether we're children to
• 1:13
  somebody or were parents to somebody or were grandchildren
• 1:16
  to somebody. We're Partners, where wives were
• 1:19
  husband's where an employee business owner, a leader, all
• 1:27
  these different roles actually are.
• 1:30
  Used in the definitions of ourselves, but I'm not just
• 1:34
  talking about the big role portion of this.
• 1:36
  I'm talking about the humanness of you, how do you define the
• 1:40
  humanness of yourself when you get down to it, the phrases, I
• 1:44
  am, whatever, that I am might be, I am creative.
• 1:48
  I am loving. I am, you know, abundant, how do
• 1:53
  you think of yourself? How do you define yourself?
• 1:56
  And typically, this isn't Something that anyone teaches
• 2:02
  you this isn't something that you sit there and school and you
• 2:05
  say, okay, I'm going to figure out how now, how I Define myself
• 2:08
  what happens is it comes out in the moments.
• 2:11
  I am frustrated. I am sad.
• 2:13
  I am overwhelmed. We use that phrase so readily
• 2:18
  when it comes to certain things, but not typically the healthy
• 2:22
  things, it usually shows up with the unhealthy aspects of stuff
• 2:28
  and before, you know it we're in a place.
• 2:30
  Where we are actually really like embedding this into our
• 2:35
  subconscious. That this is who we are.
• 2:37
  I am broke. I am out of money.
• 2:41
  I am whatever language. You want to use on it, lots of
• 2:44
  times. This shows up with money.
• 2:46
  So it's important to pay attention to that piece because
• 2:49
  it's a very sensitive spot. As you've heard me mention
• 2:52
  before. But this, I am phrase tends to
• 2:57
  show up in the negatives and and, you know, I am out of.
• 3:02
  I'm out of ideas. I'm starving.
• 3:05
  I love that one. When people say that I'm
• 3:07
  starving, that's starving, we're hungry.
• 3:10
  It's that simple. But we always over-exaggerated
• 3:13
  and then we put ourselves in this place of lack.
• 3:16
  And once you start that again, the phrase, I am many teachers
• 3:21
  will talk about the facts especially especially if you're
• 3:24
  in you know, religious teachers or spiritual teachers.
• 3:28
  The I am phrase is the Closest phrase that you can use to the
• 3:34
  Holy Ground if you will, because it's talking directly and at to
• 3:39
  whatever you might believe to God to the universe and it
• 3:42
  speaks to how you view yourself in the world.
• 3:45
  So when you start using it and you use it haphazardly, it is a
• 3:50
  dangerous dangerous Pond of thin ice, my friends.
• 3:55
  So the first step in this is asking yourself.
• 3:58
  Well, how do I Define myself? A piece of paper, sit down and
• 4:02
  start to ask yourself. Well, what else, what are the
• 4:05
  other things, you'll start? You'll get a few off that your
• 4:08
  head right away. Like, was when I start mine, one
• 4:09
  of the very first things that comes up for me, is I'm
• 4:12
  creative. It's part of my identity that I
• 4:15
  developed early on, in my life and I am very, very blessed that
• 4:18
  I had a grandmother who really like poured into that part of me
• 4:23
  and talked about it all the time.
• 4:25
  Anytime, I drew something, for her.
• 4:27
  Anytime I painted something, she would always say, oh my gosh.
• 4:30
  So creative, you're so creative. You're so creative.
• 4:33
  So I believed her and I was fortunate for me that she was
• 4:37
  putting in something really wonderful because very easily,
• 4:40
  she could have been putting in something not so wonderful, you
• 4:44
  know? And that happens all the time,
• 4:46
  you know, it happens all the time where somebody doesn't
• 4:49
  realize what they're doing, you know and boom for you know it
• 4:54
  but they are view of. You becomes your belief and your
• 4:57
  Iams, but when you sit down and you start asking, Asking the
• 5:00
  question, who am I? How do you define yourself
• 5:04
  across the board? I am organized.
• 5:07
  I am full of love. I'm kind, I share readily with
• 5:11
  my friends. These definitions are the
• 5:18
  roadmap to defining yourself. Yes, but redefining yourself
• 5:23
  really. So if there are things on there
• 5:26
  that you don't feel are accurate about, Yourself.
• 5:31
  When you look back at the list and you say, well, you know, I
• 5:35
  am like especially around the negative ones.
• 5:37
  If you look back and you say well this is here but I don't
• 5:40
  want this to be here. You can redefine this but you've
• 5:43
  got to be honest with yourself when you start to write the
• 5:45
  list. So the first thing you're going
• 5:48
  to notice is you'll come up with a few right away and they may be
• 5:52
  positive, they may be negative, they may be a mix of mix of both
• 5:55
  but it's not important that you sit there and say okay these are
• 6:00
  - these are positive. What's important is that you
• 6:03
  nail the list down and get that first wave, then they'll be a
• 6:07
  second wave. So I suggest what you do is just
• 6:10
  keep it out and that's really loud right now, because he's
• 6:12
  right above my head, you got your, the second list, will show
• 6:16
  up for the second part of the list and it will flow out of you
• 6:21
  over the course, typically of 24 to 48 hours, where you'll start
• 6:25
  to get more and more clarity, you'll have more and more things
• 6:28
  that pour out of you. You'll have a thought Write it
• 6:31
  down, you have a thought and write it down.
• 6:32
  So some people find that doing this on paper with a pencil is
• 6:35
  great. Some people will keep notes on
• 6:37
  their phones, but whatever, whichever way you decide to do
• 6:40
  it. Allow yourself enough time to
• 6:42
  get a full list of things and a full identity that, you know,
• 6:48
  you feel is pretty accurate of how you see yourself currently.
• 6:51
  Then you can go back and say which one's of these do I want
• 6:55
  to keep and which ones of these do I want to reshape and the
• 6:58
  reshaping process? Is simply taking those
• 7:02
  negatives, moving them, off the list, rewriting them, another
• 7:07
  word. So if you think I'm poor, I'm
• 7:09
  broke. If that's on your list.
• 7:11
  A positive would be, I'm abundant, I have more than
• 7:14
  enough money. I'm a money magnet.
• 7:17
  You can start doing the flip the office.
• 7:19
  It will these feel right in the beginning.
• 7:22
  No, but this is part of the re-identification that you're
• 7:24
  going through the redefining if you will.
• 7:27
  So you just have to be patient with yourself and start the
• 7:29
  process off. So Now that's what you're going
• 7:32
  to focus on. That's what you're going to do
• 7:33
  and I hope you guys have a fabulous day.
• 7:36
  Defining, who am I? I'll see you guys tomorrow.
• 7:39
  Bye.
