0:18
Join Kim every morning from one of her favorite happy places,
0:21
her chicken coop, along with all her chickens.
0:27
Hey everybody, good morning from the porch.
0:30
So it is very early off in the distance, still chicken coop
0:35
there, no rain, no worries today.
0:39
This whole week is actually going to be very different
0:41
because I am traveling this week.
0:43
I am very blessed to have been invited to go out and teach a
0:47
group of leaders leadership mindset.
0:50
So I am going to be flying out today and headed to Minnesota to
0:56
work with Caldwell Banker leaders and I could not be more
0:59
excited about that. So this week is going to be
1:02
different. We're going to be on the road
1:04
and it's starting today. So I thought that I would take
1:07
you through a little bit of my mindset when I'm having to do
1:10
something different, not be out here.
1:13
So this morning, what's always interesting for me is travel day
1:16
typically is always chaotic, but I really worked hard this time
1:22
making sure I had everything done way ahead of time so that I
1:26
could cut down on the chaos because travel days for most
1:29
people are very chaotic. They have to jump up, they have
1:33
to get things done. And I purposefully planned this
1:36
so that I could have it be peaceful.
1:38
I went to bed at my normal time. I slept till my normal time.
1:42
I don't have to leave here, leave my home until probably a
1:49
couple hours from now, depending upon the traffic, watching the
1:52
traffic. But the point is, I got things
1:55
done way ahead of time. Point is, I had everything set
1:58
up so that I could just simply flow and not feel stressed about
2:02
it. And even right down to picking
2:04
out my clothes that I was going to wear today ahead of time
2:08
because I knew if I did that, I would feel so much better about
2:11
the whole thing. Just feeling organized, feeling
2:14
like I was put together. And I think often we just
2:18
mistake the fact that we need to have so much done.
2:22
Like, you know, this is one of those times where you don't
2:24
realize how much you need to have done until you're doing it
2:27
because you are on autopilot most days, getting yourself
2:30
ready, getting out of the house, doing all these things.
2:32
So we have this very strange anomaly that takes place within
2:36
us that says, oh, I have more than enough time to do that,
2:40
even though we have overpopulated what we need to
2:43
get done. So for me, I just try really,
2:46
really hard to be honest with myself about the time frames.
2:49
You know, we've talked about that before.
2:50
How long does it actually take you to get stuff done?
2:52
But on travel days, I know there's going to be more things
2:55
to make sure. And especially since I'm not
2:57
traveling with my family, they're staying here.
3:00
I want to make sure I have things done for them so that
3:03
when I leave, they're all set. Of course, my certainty girl is
3:07
off the rails with this, but it's such, it's, it's allowing
3:10
me to leave in a place of peace instead of a piece of chaos.
3:14
You know, I don't want to leave with a piece of chaos in my
3:17
head. I want to leave in a state of
3:19
peace. So it's super important to give
3:22
yourself the grace and the time to say if I know this is coming.
3:26
The procrastination driver is not welcome at this point
3:29
because it will only cause more chaos.
3:31
It will only cause things to be, you know, you feel worse about
3:36
going because you're just leaving in such a harried state
3:39
of mind. So that's the first thing.
3:42
The second thing is recognizing that you want to be in a good
3:46
mood about whatever it is that you're doing.
3:48
So you're choosing the driver to be happy.
3:51
And I'll tell you, it's with all the weather, with all the things
3:55
that are happening out there, You look and you say, all right,
3:58
well, maybe I could, I should be worried.
4:00
Maybe I should be this. And yes, was I worried a little
4:03
bit over the weekend? I would be lying if I said I
4:05
wasn't. Of course I was because I didn't
4:06
know if I was going to be flying in with a hurricane.
4:09
But the good news is I I'm not. And I'm grateful and blessed for
4:14
that. I'm beyond grateful for that so
4:16
that I don't have to deal with flights changing and all of
4:19
those things. And now it's staying in that
4:22
happy frame of mind and saying, OK, I'm set to go.
4:25
I'm feeling good. It's all going to work out
4:27
perfectly. And then once you get through
4:30
that phrase of saying all that, then you're seeing it as if it's
4:33
already done effortlessly. Again, that's always the key
4:36
with things seeing that effortless.
4:38
So all morning long I've been visualizing going through the
4:41
airport, having it be effortless, getting on landing,
4:45
getting to hug my friends when I get there and, and just be
4:49
totally centered and present and what I'm doing and seeing it as
4:52
if it's already done. Visualizing it all happening.
4:55
That is the key to this. So obviously this whole week I'm
4:59
going to be shooting while I am out and away.
5:03
So you're going to hear a very different morning set this week.
5:06
Got some surprises happening on Wednesday.
5:09
So Wednesday is going to be a very, very big day and I can't
5:14
wait to announce it all. So I hope that you guys are
5:17
tuning in and I hope that this was helpful to you on your
5:22
travel days, and I will see you all tomorrow from Minnesota.
5:26
All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day.
5:28
Bye.
