- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30No. Is quiet out here right now,
- 0:32right? It won't be for long.
- 0:33There we go. Now, they're starting back.
- 0:37So today, I want to talk to you about the attitude that you
- 0:42present towards yourself. So behind closed doors when
- 0:47nobody's around, it's just you. As is the phrase, goes me,
- 0:51myself and I in my head and I'm talking to myself, I am
- 0:56thinking, I am doing whatever I'm doing my chores, I'm going
- 1:00about My life being me working. What attitude do you have
- 1:04towards yourself? And really, I want you to stop
- 1:07and pause and think about this, because most people can't answer
- 1:09the question. Most people can't say, I am
- 1:12Grace with myself. I forgive myself, I'm excited.
- 1:15I think I'm, I think I'm creative now.
- 1:18Outwardly, you might be cocky. You might be the person that
- 1:22everybody thinks it. You know, you got it going on
- 1:24and you might seem like, it's really, you know, together on
- 1:28the, on that side of the world. But behind the scenes, Behind
- 1:31the curtain. I'm talking about that attitude,
- 1:33you have towards yourself. What is it?
- 1:35How do you treat yourself? How do you talk to yourself
- 1:38because nothing? Nothing.
- 1:40Nothing is more important than the attitude you have towards
- 1:43yourself. So I know for me I have moments
- 1:49where I get so irritated if I can't come up with something if
- 1:54especially if I'm doing something that I feel like you
- 1:57need to do in a hurry, I get frustrated and I'll Like oh,
- 2:01can't you just get this? And I speak with a harsh tone to
- 2:04myself and I would never do that to another person.
- 2:09And yeah, I do it to myself. I would never think that that
- 2:14voice was appropriate and to use out there with anybody yet, I'll
- 2:20do it to myself. And I think that a lot of us
- 2:23have that challenge, a lot of us do that.
- 2:26A lot of us have a very harsh attitude when it Comes to our
- 2:33impatience with ourselves. How we think?
- 2:36We're losers, how we say? Oh, I'm so far behind.
- 2:39I'm such a loser. I can't tell you how many times
- 2:42in a week that I hear clients say, I just am.
- 2:44So aggravated with myself for where I am right now.
- 2:47I should be further along, I should I should I should and
- 2:50they should all over themselves and that doesn't help you move
- 2:54forward. That doesn't help you get to
- 2:56another level of grand, great greatness.
- 3:00All it does is serve to cause more issues because here you are
- 3:04in this, you know, Vortex of thinking to yourself that, you
- 3:09know, I'm not good. I'm not this.
- 3:11I'm not that, and how is that supposed to help you move
- 3:14forward? It's kind of like, if you're
- 3:16lost, if you're driving somewhere and you're lost and
- 3:19you know where you're going, let's say you know you want to
- 3:22be somewhere and you're headed there and you're lost and you
- 3:26sit down and to try to figure it out.
- 3:29You don't sit there and go. I'm not in Boston.
- 3:31I'm not in Boston. I'm not in Boston.
- 3:33I'm not in Boston, that's asinine.
- 3:36Why would you keep telling yourself where you're not in
- 3:38order to figure out where you're going?
- 3:41You have to stop yourself and say, okay, where am I going?
- 3:44I'm going to Boston. Okay, where am I now?
- 3:48I'm in Cleveland. Okay, how do I go from Cleveland
- 3:52to Boston? What tactics tactics?
- 3:54Do I need to get there? Do I need to take a bus?
- 3:58Do I need to take a car? Do I?
- 4:00I need to take a train, do I need to take a plane.
- 4:03You have, you have to look at all your options.
- 4:05You have to think, through all the things that are possible.
- 4:08You don't just sit there and say, well, I'm not in Boston,
- 4:11I'm not in Boston. I'm not in Boston, someone would
- 4:14put you away because they'd say, well, clearly, something's not
- 4:16right with this person yet, this is what we do.
- 4:19And when we're trying to get ourselves motivated and go
- 4:23through and push ourselves to do something, we sit there and say,
- 4:26well I'm not I'm not successful, I'm not successful, I'm not
- 4:29successful. And I know when you're listening
- 4:32to this, you're cracking up. Laughing to yourself because you
- 4:34do it. And, and guess what everybody
- 4:36does behind-the-scenes, myself included.
- 4:39We are all not kind to ourselves and it's so absurd because it's
- 4:43so easy to be kind to yourself. It's so easy to just to pause
- 4:47and give Grace, and say, you know what, how would I if this
- 4:51was my child or if this was my friend's child or if this was my
- 4:55grandchild, how would I treat this?
- 4:59I would sit them down and I would say this, This is just
- 5:01where you are in this moment that doesn't mean this is where
- 5:03you're going to be forever. You know let's stop and pause.
- 5:06Let's get some ideas going. What can we do if we think about
- 5:09it and we start to process it. What can we bring to the table
- 5:12to help ourselves instead of the force?
- 5:16So today I want you to capture. What are the things you're
- 5:20telling yourself? What's that attitude, that's
- 5:23present and accounted for what are the things that are causing
- 5:25you to stop moving forward? Because right away.
- 5:30Yay. Its you stopping you they're
- 5:32going off in your head they're like little trip wires and
- 5:35they're causing you to be stuck and I and I can't stress this
- 5:39enough if you don't clean this piece up because nobody can do
- 5:42this for you. See this is what's so tricky.
- 5:44Nobody can do this for you. I can sit here and I can point
- 5:47it all out to you, but I can't do the work for you because you
- 5:52know what, I'm not in your head and I've joked around where it
- 5:55would be so great. If we had these little chips
- 5:57that we can just put in and say, hey when I'm ever - I just want
- 6:00to stop That. But we don't because that's part
- 6:02of our journey and this is part of what makes us become even
- 6:06more successful, and even more Dynamic when we can take care of
- 6:11what our thoughts are and control them and use them to our
- 6:14greater good and benefit. So today, this is your
- 6:17challenge. You've got to figure out what is
- 6:20my attitude towards myself. And how am I going to treat
- 6:24myself? What words of kindness?
- 6:25Can I use? What words of acceptance.
- 6:28Can I use what words of Honesty can I use, and then move
- 6:33forward. So, I hope you guys have a
- 6:35blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
