• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so Today, I want to talk to
• 0:31
  you a little bit about why we care so much about what other
• 0:35
  people think about us. This is been coming up a lot and
• 0:41
  not in my personal life, but with my clients and I thought it
• 0:44
  would be worth it to address it with all of you since it seems
• 0:47
  to be something that's out there floating in the world right now,
• 0:51
  worrying about what other people are going to think.
• 0:53
  And I know this is something that's we are hard-wired since
• 0:58
  you. If you went to middle school,
• 1:00
  you actually. We understand this sort of such
• 1:03
  a deep level because anybody who's gone to Middle School,
• 1:06
  which is all of us. Hopefully get to the fact that
• 1:10
  you worry about what other people think.
• 1:12
  You don't want to be that kid. That has that any way to stand
• 1:16
  out? That isn't in a great way and
• 1:18
  even the ones who are you know, the ones, the popular kids, they
• 1:22
  still worried about it, they just didn't do it in the same
• 1:24
  way. It's Middle School is probably
• 1:27
  the breeding ground of all true. Rama as far as I'm concerned for
• 1:32
  so many people because they'll all come back and they'll say,
• 1:35
  well, when I was in Middle School and I always like note to
• 1:38
  myself. Gosh, middle school, and my
• 1:40
  middle school experience was no better.
• 1:42
  Believe me. I did not enjoy Middle School at
• 1:45
  all. There's a chunk of time that I
• 1:47
  could technically say, let's do redo that.
• 1:49
  It would be middle school for sure.
• 1:51
  But in any event, we digress, I don't want to go down.
• 1:55
  Let's go back to the fact of you have to let yourself understand.
• 2:01
  That there's a part of you, that you, it's hardwired into us to
• 2:06
  have social behaviors and social cues from other people, because
• 2:10
  they're important, right? You do want other people to as a
• 2:14
  society as a thriving species, we look to others to shape us.
• 2:20
  And part of that can be healthy part of it is healthy but not at
• 2:24
  the detriment of yourself. Again, this comes back to always
• 2:27
  being self-aware and really looking at How your processing
• 2:31
  stuff. There's a really awesome quote
• 2:34
  from loud Sue who says care what other people think and you will
• 2:38
  always be their prisoner and boy.
• 2:40
  Isn't that the truth? I mean, go back even to middle
• 2:43
  school. I mean I can tell you how many
• 2:45
  times I heard my father say why do you care what they think?
• 2:47
  But you know, it's really easy for someone who's in their 40s
• 2:50
  to be telling somebody who's 10 11 and 12, not to care what
• 2:55
  other people think and not knowing where that person is in
• 2:59
  their little mine and Little development.
• 3:01
  So we all have these issues with this showing up at some point in
• 3:08
  our life, we become prisoners of other people by giving them the
• 3:12
  power and allowing what they think to become our reality.
• 3:15
  So, I'll give you a great example when I was going to
• 3:18
  shoot when I was going to begin the process of, you know,
• 3:21
  recording out in the chicken coop, and possibly shooting
• 3:24
  videos and things out here. I had this whole thing in my
• 3:28
  head about, well, I wonder what people are going to.
• 3:30
  I think as a professional who's recording from her chicken coop,
• 3:35
  and I had to go through this process now.
• 3:37
  Did it take me a long time? No, it didn't take me a long
• 3:40
  time because I recognize the information.
• 3:42
  It was trying to give me, and then I use that information and
• 3:45
  I came to the conclusion, which is why you're listening to me
• 3:48
  out in my chicken coop, because this is one of my most happy
• 3:51
  places I love hanging out with my chickens and granted right
• 3:55
  now, some of them are here, but a lot of them are far away out
• 3:58
  free-ranging, having fun, doing, whatever.
• 4:00
  Doing looking for bugs, but it's nonetheless.
• 4:04
  I'm still happy to be here with the ones that I have.
• 4:07
  And this is one of my I have to look at myself.
• 4:12
  How do I want to say this? I want to look at myself and
• 4:14
  say, just because this is not the same as what other people
• 4:18
  like. It doesn't mean that I can't
• 4:20
  bring it forward and share it with people and let people know
• 4:25
  that I like it. It's that originality of saying,
• 4:28
  you know what people are Entitled to their opinions and
• 4:32
  they can keep their opinions, they can share their opinions
• 4:35
  but I don't have to keep their opinion.
• 4:37
  I can decide just like I don't have to keep the garbage in the
• 4:41
  house every night. If I want to take it out, I can
• 4:43
  take it out. I don't have to hang on to
• 4:45
  things, I don't have to make everything a collection and
• 4:48
  curate, it and least off somebody else's opinions about
• 4:51
  things and I think where we have become so sensitive to what
• 4:57
  other people think right now in society we don't To accept
• 5:01
  ourselves for who we are and where we are.
• 5:04
  Because we're worried about what other people are going to think.
• 5:07
  So a lot of us have retreated and just said, well, I'm going
• 5:11
  to, I'm going to just go down this other Road and isolate
• 5:15
  myself or I'm going to not truly share who I am and that's fine
• 5:20
  if you're doing it for the right reason.
• 5:22
  But if you're doing it to hide, it's never the right reason and
• 5:26
  it's important to say. No, I'm going to stand in the
• 5:28
  truth of who I am. I'm going to accept myself for
• 5:31
  who I am. I'm going to love myself for who
• 5:34
  I am and I'm going to give myself the grace and the space
• 5:39
  to cultivate that person into the greatest version of myself
• 5:44
  that I can be, and not according to what other people think.
• 5:48
  According to you, you've got to liberate yourself from the
• 5:51
  thoughts that it matters what anyone else thinks, and maybe
• 5:56
  you have, you know, that close person in your life like, Have a
• 6:00
  few close people in my life and I will go to them for their
• 6:04
  opinions on things. Doesn't mean I'll take them, but
• 6:08
  I trust them and I'll go to them.
• 6:11
  And I'll say, okay, what are your thoughts on this?
• 6:13
  And, you know, my husband being one of them and sometimes he'll
• 6:16
  say to me, you know, I don't know how that would go.
• 6:18
  Or I'm not sure about that or he'll give me his opinion,
• 6:21
  doesn't mean I have to take. It just means that I've checked
• 6:25
  in. I've gotten some information
• 6:28
  again, but I don't have to hold on to it.
• 6:30
  I don't have I've to keep it. So the lesson today, all about
• 6:34
  accepting yourself for who you are, where you are and giving
• 6:38
  yourself the freedom that the, the just the peace of mind that
• 6:43
  I don't care what other people think.
• 6:46
  And I am no longer going to be a prisoner of anyone is just
• 6:50
  absolutely freeing. So hopefully today, this is
• 6:53
  going to be helpful to you and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:56
  Have a great day guys. Bye.
