  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So I have a question for you. Are, you overcommitted right
• 0:34
  now? Are you feeling so distraught?
• 0:37
  Because you have just over committed yourself through this
• 0:41
  holiday season and you're just over it.
• 0:44
  You're just running around like a chicken with your head cut
• 0:46
  off. And I don't mean to say that in
• 0:48
  the middle of the girls, it is so apparent to me that every
• 0:56
  client that I speak to this past week has said, I just feel like
• 1:01
  there's so much to do. There's so much to do if I hear
• 1:04
  that phrase one more time. I'm like, oh my gosh there's so
• 1:08
  much to do. Well, I want to be really clear.
• 1:10
  We all always have to do with. I think that's just human.
• 1:16
  You know, we always create these to-do lists because we in have
• 1:20
  an inherent hardwired need to grow.
• 1:23
  We just constantly need to grow and be doing things to feel like
• 1:28
  we are growing now, whether they're moving.
• 1:30
  Us forward or not is another question, whether activities to
• 1:33
  move us forward or not? That's another question.
• 1:35
  However, the whole growth process is part that it's
• 1:40
  hardwired into us. We can't do anything about that,
• 1:42
  it's just there. So, one of the interesting
• 1:46
  things that I can tell you, when I hear someone say over and over
• 1:51
  how they are overwhelmed, they've got so much to do there,
• 1:55
  overbook their overcommitted and they keep looping back to, I
• 1:58
  don't even know how I'm going to get this done.
• 2:00
  I don't even know. I'm going to do this.
• 2:02
  I want to remind you guys. This is a choice regardless of
• 2:06
  what you think. This is a choice.
• 2:08
  You can say the words. No, you can actually put those
• 2:11
  two letters together and oh, and say them, you can say, I just I
• 2:16
  can't do it. I have too much going on.
• 2:19
  I feel like I just want to relax this season, you know, there may
• 2:23
  be a huge part of us that have forgotten that we're coming off
• 2:28
  of two years. Actually it's been three years
• 2:32
  of this whole pandemic craziness.
• 2:35
  All of 20, all of 21 all 2222, was like the rampant running
• 2:42
  game where everybody's playing catch up so to speak and we
• 2:47
  still haven't gotten back to the rhythms of just being.
• 2:51
  And when we were in isolation when we were in all that time,
• 2:56
  it did a lot of rewiring because it was such an extended period
• 3:00
  of time. I'm and we can't forget that.
• 3:02
  We can't forget that that happened.
• 3:04
  And then when we got Unleashed, it was like, we felt like we had
• 3:08
  to play catch-up, but we didn't necessarily have those skills as
• 3:12
  strong as they might have been before.
• 3:14
  And to top it all off. We feel like, we don't what
• 3:18
  happens if we get shut down again, I've heard that so many
• 3:20
  times. What happens if we could shut
• 3:21
  down again? Well, we can project all we
• 3:24
  want. We can let that super Visionary
• 3:27
  girl on our bus that future pacing girl, or boy, A or person
• 3:32
  on our bus run ramp it. Yes, we can do that.
• 3:36
  However, it's not healthy to let him do it when, especially when
• 3:40
  they're sitting next to anxiety. So we want to stop and we want
• 3:43
  to say no. We want to say how do I want my
• 3:46
  holiday to go? What do I want my holiday to
• 3:49
  look at? How do I want to feel over my
• 3:52
  holiday break? And when we do that, when we
• 3:54
  stop and we pause and we reverse-engineer it, we are so
• 3:59
  much better off because It gives us the chance to live into that
• 4:03
  as opposed to just trying to Scurry around and I can't stress
• 4:08
  enough. How much I do this for myself?
• 4:10
  And I think I used to feel like everything had to be perfect.
• 4:16
  I used to be in that mindset of perfection was necessary.
• 4:20
  I had to have it be just a perfect holiday and then I
• 4:23
  realized that the Perfection is in the progress.
• 4:27
  So to speak. Not to mention that for me.
• 4:31
  Me the most important aspect of all of this is the fact that we
• 4:34
  have the gift of the time to be with our families.
• 4:39
  If we choose 2 or the gift of time to be by ourselves, we have
• 4:42
  to look to what serves us. We have to look at what is going
• 4:45
  to make us feel good over this holiday season.
• 4:49
  The girls got a new chicken coop, delivered yesterday and I
• 4:52
  am revamping it and not that they really needed it.
• 4:55
  Okay, okay, I know some of you have seen pictures up on
• 4:58
  Facebook of it and don't they? Need it.
• 5:01
  They have a very nice Coupe. However, we are going to start
• 5:05
  filming from it so you guys can see the girls and I just wanted
• 5:09
  a different shape of the coop. I wanted more space for them and
• 5:12
  of course, I want to hatch out more babies, so it's a little
• 5:16
  bit of a setup session. When you start with chickens,
• 5:19
  they kind of get into your chicken math happens.
• 5:21
  So they're getting a new Coupe. So I'm going to be working with
• 5:24
  it with Mark, my husband inside, we're going to be designing it
• 5:28
  building out what they need getting them all sit.
• 5:31
  Situated. And that's really what I want to
• 5:33
  do on my vacation. I'm not even joking.
• 5:35
  We are so excited about doing this and getting all our animals
• 5:39
  organized, and my husband's, God is rabbits, and we're going to
• 5:42
  be adding, hopefully we're going to be adding some goats.
• 5:46
  So we've got lots of plans and the weather is cool.
• 5:49
  And we are enjoying the cool weather out here.
• 5:52
  So we are actually going to do a lot of outside work right now,
• 5:56
  because we can't really do that in the heat of August and
• 5:59
  September because it's too damn hot.
• 6:01
  So, point being find the things that you enjoy.
• 6:05
  Don't let anybody take that away from you.
• 6:08
  If you enjoy doing outdoor work at this time of the year and
• 6:11
  that's relaxing to you. Like it is to us, do it.
• 6:14
  Don't say yes to everything. Say no and don't feel bad about
• 6:17
  it because it is about what makes you feel good.
• 6:20
  It is about what's going to help you feel good through the
• 6:24
  holiday season. It's your holiday to remember
• 6:27
  that. It's your holiday to it's not
• 6:29
