  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, today we are talking about electronics and the effect that
• 0:35
  it has on you. And I'm not going to be here and
• 0:38
  preach about this and sit here and tell you, you know, you
• 0:42
  shouldn't do it at, your shouldn't should do it.
• 0:44
  Because basically I'm talking to you by way of a podcast that
• 0:49
  you're probably listening to on your phone and I would be a
• 0:51
  hypocrite if I said these things and ended up using them to, you
• 0:56
  know, help you by doing a podcast, what I'm talking about.
• 1:00
  About is looking at how they show up in your life and how
• 1:04
  they affect you, and being aware and monitoring no matter what s
• 1:09
  going on in your world, you probably have a title
• 1:11
  Electronics, whether it's a computer or phone and iPad
• 1:14
  something. These electronics are a part of
• 1:17
  our world and they have become a significant part of our world.
• 1:21
  I mean, for me, I'm very fortunate that I get to create
• 1:23
  this whole thing with for all of you with an iPhone and I can do
• 1:28
  it right out in the chicken coop and upload.
• 1:30
  It and you can listen to it wherever you want to go.
• 1:33
  The challenge that we have is when these electronic start to
• 1:36
  take over and they start to do things to us that we don't like
• 1:40
  which is distract us from our family.
• 1:42
  Distract us from connecting with each other and where this
• 1:45
  becomes such a significant problem is when you know, we
• 1:49
  used to be able to have conversations.
• 1:51
  At the end of the day, we used to be able to sit and play
• 1:53
  games. We used to be able to read
• 1:55
  books. And instead we find ourselves
• 1:57
  having a situation where these electrons Onyx are becoming our
• 2:03
  way of sedation where we're sitting on the couch.
• 2:05
  We may have a television even on we're watching a movie with
• 2:08
  somebody, but inevitably we're on our phone, we're checking
• 2:11
  something. We're watching videos, we're
• 2:14
  doing something else and we're disconnected from the other
• 2:17
  person. We're not paying attention to
• 2:19
  the other person. We're not giving them attention.
• 2:21
  And it, it has a significant effect on people and we have to
• 2:27
  realize that our Behavior whether we We like to admit it
• 2:31
  or not, our Behavior affects other people.
• 2:33
  And when you have other people in your home, in your world,
• 2:37
  like, even if you're by yourself, honestly.
• 2:40
  Do you really want to be Tethered to something like this
• 2:43
  so much that it creates that intensity in your world.
• 2:48
  So that pulls you away from people.
• 2:50
  So, truth be told I really, really monitor my own electronic
• 2:56
  use because I have a phone with me all day long, while I talk to
• 3:00
  clients. And then I have to create
• 3:03
  podcasts, I have to edit, there are a lot of beautiful things
• 3:07
  that are a result of electronics, but I have to watch
• 3:10
  out for it because I could spend all my time lost in that world
• 3:16
  easily. I could sit and edit create
• 3:18
  things. I have a love of painting on my
• 3:22
  iPad. I have a love of who going on
• 3:25
  and looking at different designs of different pictures editing
• 3:29
  photos. There are So many aspects of it
• 3:32
  that are so super cool and they are addictive.
• 3:36
  So the point I'm trying to make is just monitor yourself and do
• 3:41
  it gingerly and say, is this really stealing time away from
• 3:46
  me for other things that I might really want to be doing with my
• 3:49
  family, with my friends for myself, you know other than
• 3:53
  being Tethered to the electronic and pushing yourself to look at
• 3:58
  it from a perspective of Okay, I have to put this down.
• 4:03
  So my rule of thumb is I work really hard to put my phone down
• 4:08
  over the weekends. I do not like to pick up my
• 4:11
  phone. The only time I typically pick
• 4:13
  it up over the weekends is 2-1 record the podcast but to, I
• 4:17
  will pick it up if I want to take pictures of things because
• 4:20
  the camera is so extraordinary. But for the most part, what I
• 4:24
  really try to do is make sure that I'm using my regular
• 4:29
  camera, you know, my Cannon and I'm staying away from it because
• 4:33
  it really does make my brain feel better when I can
• 4:37
  disconnect from it. I challenge you to do the same.
• 4:40
  Even if you guys have a pocket like, you know, you create a
• 4:44
  pocket, it during your day, where you say, okay everyone for
• 4:47
  dinner, we're putting our phones away and for the next two hours,
• 4:49
  we are a phone-free Zone. Do it for the greater.
• 4:53
  Good of your family, do it for the greater.
• 4:54
  Good of your own psychology, do it for the greater.
• 4:57
  Good of the things that you know this will help and It up levels,
• 5:02
  you and allows you to come back to basics.
• 5:04
  So, I hope you found some value in this.
• 5:07
  I hope you take the challenge on, and I hope you see that this
• 5:10
  little, just this little bit here, and there will help.
• 5:14
  I promise it will create a huge difference in your life.
• 5:17
  I hope you guys have a very blessed day and I will see you
• 5:20
  tomorrow. Bye.
