  chickens. Hey, good morning everybody.
• 0:28
  Welcome to the chicken coop. Is General observation day.
• 0:33
  And that big one for today, is that most of us rarely are
• 0:40
  aligned with what we say, we believe.
• 0:44
  So what do I mean by that? We are rarely aligned with what
• 0:47
  we say we believe. So there are always filters
• 0:51
  running in the background different emotions.
• 0:54
  As we've talked about them before, who's driving your bus?
• 0:56
  There are always different emotions.
• 0:58
  And as I've told you, you can have multiple oceans at the same
• 1:01
  time and sometimes will refer to these as filters and things
• 1:05
  going on in the back of your head.
• 1:08
  So to speak. But there is a predominant
• 1:12
  situation that takes place with human beings where the words
• 1:15
  that come out of our mouths are not necessarily aligned to what
• 1:18
  we believe. And part of that challenge that
• 1:22
  we have is that we're constantly filtering for what other people
• 1:25
  think, how we have to show up the thing, the game we have to
• 1:29
  play to make sure. We don't offend people say the
• 1:32
  wrong thing, show up the wrong way.
• 1:35
  And so a lot of us fact, most of us, have a predominant situation
• 1:41
  where we are misaligned, where we will have words come out of
• 1:45
  our mouths. But those words not technically
• 1:48
  in line with what our true beliefs are, if you've ever seen
• 1:51
  the movie Liar Liar, with Jim Carrey.
• 1:53
  This is a funny version of a take on this, where it's
• 1:57
  everything that's inside of him that he wants to say.
• 2:00
  He doesn't say in the beginning he's just this incredible liar,
• 2:04
  that just lies about everything but then his son puts a curse on
• 2:07
  him and wishes him to be able to only tell the truth.
• 2:11
  And he just can't speak anything.
• 2:13
  But the truth, it's actually a very cute movie with a very cute
• 2:16
  premise. And it's kind of like what
• 2:18
  happens to us internally where we want to say something but we
• 2:22
  have to filter it. We want to say these words but
• 2:26
  we don't know how to say them constructively or in a way that
• 2:30
  wouldn't hurt Person's feelings because I believe most of us are
• 2:33
  good and we don't want to hurt other people's feelings.
• 2:35
  So we try to find a way to say things and the best format we
• 2:38
  possibly can, although it's not always resourceful.
• 2:41
  But then a big chunk for where we are is that we just shut up?
• 2:46
  Totally misaligned and we don't say the truth and then we wonder
• 2:50
  why we have struggles with people.
• 2:52
  We wonder why we have these awkward interactions with
• 2:56
  people. It's because somehow we are
• 2:58
  misaligned with what we really believe in.
• 3:00
  What? We want to say to them.
• 3:02
  So it causes an energetic Rift, if you will, between where we
• 3:07
  are emotionally with them, and what we truly believe and where
• 3:11
  we are on this plane with them where we're trying to, you know,
• 3:16
  interact with them, speak with them, have it work with them but
• 3:19
  we just can't. And we say, what is the problem?
• 3:21
  And we try to force it on another person.
• 3:23
  But the truth is we're not always saying how we really feel
• 3:27
  we're just not speaking the truth and therefore that's where
• 3:30
  the struggle. Zen.
• 3:31
  And I'm not saying to go out and insult everybody and say
• 3:34
  everything that you think what I'm saying is we have to become
• 3:36
  Artful about it and figure out why we think what we think.
• 3:40
  So that we can then figure out how to become aligned.
• 3:43
  Look at this really closely in your most personal relationships
• 3:48
  because this is where it really is a challenge, because we will
• 3:51
  be frustrated with Partners. We will be frustrated with
• 3:54
  children. We will be frustrated with
• 3:56
  family members and we just can't figure out.
• 4:00
  ER, out how to communicate with them.
• 4:03
  Because we're in our own place, they're in their own place, and
• 4:07
  the struggle is real, we can't get them to see through our
• 4:10
  filters, but if you pause and you remember the rule, when
• 4:14
  emotions, go up intelligence goes down and you pull yourself
• 4:17
  back from trying to influence somebody else into understanding
• 4:21
  where you are when you are emotionally elevated then, you
• 4:27
  know, that's a bad time to do it at that point in time when you
• 4:30
  Emotionally elevated and you are trying so hard to get them to
• 4:35
  understand you. Most likely your intelligence is
• 4:38
  low at that point and you're not capable of articulating
• 4:41
  everything that you want. So you can't do it at that point
• 4:43
  in time. You have to do it.
• 4:44
  When it's the neutral zone, you have to call a family meeting.
• 4:47
  You have to get together with your crew and sit down and do it
• 4:52
  when nobody is emotionally elevated.
• 4:54
  And there's not a pending, you know, situation that everyone
• 4:58
  needs to discuss at a heightened level.
• 5:00
  And then you will be able to tell the truth, you will be able
• 5:03
  to articulate yourself. You will be able to make
• 5:06
  decisions about how you want to communicate, but it's always
• 5:09
  best to do these before. You have a, you know, an actual
• 5:13
  situation arise and sit down and debrief yourself.
• 5:16
  Where is the showing up? Where am I misaligned with my
• 5:19
  beliefs, and what I'm saying? And how I'm acting out with
• 5:21
  people? And I promise you, if you do
• 5:23
  this, your relationships are going to get infinitely better.
• 5:26
  So I hope you guys have a fantastic day.
• 5:30
  About this and get some clarity for yourself about where your
• 5:34
  misaligned and you don't have to take immediate action with it
• 5:37
  because you should sit with it. You should decide on it before
• 5:40
  you actually do it because remember, don't do it, when your
• 5:42
  emotions are high because when emotions go up intelligence goes
• 5:45
  down. So, I will speak to you guys
• 5:47
  tomorrow and I hope you have a blessed day.
• 5:49
  Bye.
