• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning.
• 0:29
  So I'm going to share one of my moments with you so you
• 0:32
  understand how my brain works and how it probably relates to
• 0:36
  your brain. This morning I got up very, very
• 0:39
  early and it is still very early as you can hear, no girls in the
• 0:43
  background because it's so early.
• 0:45
  And I have this plan. I'm working on many different
• 0:49
  gardens all at the same time around here.
• 0:51
  I've got books being delivered. I think in the last five days
• 0:56
  I've had six books delivered. I'm researching herbs on this
• 1:01
  huge level, really studying up on them.
• 1:04
  I have more seeds coming. Why?
• 1:06
  I don't know. I've got so many plants that I'm
• 1:11
  caring for, lots and lots going on in my head.
• 1:14
  Well, today happens to be one of those days.
• 1:17
  It's like right smack in the middle of the week for me.
• 1:22
  Obviously it's Wednesday and I am in this position where I'm
• 1:27
  like, OK, it's the first. I'm getting closer to the days I
• 1:30
  can plant. So my brain is spinning now.
• 1:33
  You got a picture? I'm walking in circles.
• 1:36
  It's the first. I have paperwork I have to do.
• 1:39
  I'm obviously on quote UN quote vacation, but I'm very excited
• 1:43
  to be doing my projects because my projects make me happy.
• 1:46
  So my head is spinning, lots of voices going off in my head,
• 1:49
  lots of conversation about things.
• 1:52
  But I decide, obviously it's the morning I want my hot beverage
• 1:56
  of choice. And my hot beverage of choice is
• 1:59
  always just hot water with an LMNT packet into it's a
• 2:03
  chocolate packet that I put into it and it's the proper things of
• 2:07
  magnesium, potassium, salt. I really like it.
• 2:11
  This is not an endorsement for them, but I really like it.
• 2:14
  It makes me I feel fantastic when I drink them when I don't
• 2:17
  I, my joints hurt lots of other issues, but I make this in a pot
• 2:21
  of tea. So my son had bought me this
• 2:24
  beautiful teapot a couple years ago.
• 2:27
  I, I must use this teapot like five times in a normal day,
• 2:31
  always having something hot liquid.
• 2:33
  I'm usually cold, so I have a gas stove and I turn on the fan.
• 2:39
  I have to use the fan every time you have a gas stove so you
• 2:42
  don't kill yourself. I turn on the fan and I put the
• 2:46
  kettle on it with hot water, with cold water in it, and I
• 2:49
  walk away and it, my head is spinning.
• 2:53
  I'm going through all these things in my head.
• 2:55
  I'm making notes. I'm writing things down on my
• 2:57
  scrap piece of paper so that I don't like lose track of what I
• 3:01
  have to do. And I'm saying to myself, why
• 3:05
  isn't that tea kettle whistling? That's interesting.
• 3:08
  And I'm, I just keep going about my business and I'm doing other
• 3:12
  things and the cat is yelling at me because she wants me to sit
• 3:16
  down. And what we always do is I have
• 3:18
  my my hot drink and she sits with me and we snuggle for a
• 3:22
  minute while I'm at my computer looking at things.
• 3:25
  So as you can imagine, the picture I'm painting lots of
• 3:28
  things happening externally and internally my head.
• 3:33
  So here I am a few minutes go by again and I'm sitting there
• 3:39
  still doing the same thing. Like I paid a couple of bills
• 3:43
  that had to be paid. I've got a whole list of
• 3:45
  spreadsheet and I usually go through them very diligently.
• 3:48
  But I'm slower this morning because I'm I don't have to
• 3:51
  rush. I've got time.
• 3:52
  So I'm like, OK, I'm flitting around my brain all of a sudden
• 3:56
  says, OK, let me jump over here in the middle of doing that.
• 3:59
  Jump over here and see when that Amazon shipment is coming and
• 4:02
  then see where are my flower seeds that are supposed to be
• 4:06
  here too. I need those too.
• 4:08
  So I'm like looking all these different things are going.
• 4:11
  Everything is talking. Meantime, I'm still in the like
• 4:16
  low currency in the back of my head.
• 4:19
  Like I wish I had something hot to drink.
• 4:21
  Like I can feel myself. I I feel it in my body and I
• 4:26
  hear it in my head. Where is my drink?
• 4:28
  Like as if I'm waiting at a counter at Starbucks or
• 4:31
  something, Like where is my drink?
• 4:33
  Where is my drink? I'm in charge of my drink.
• 4:35
  I'm in charge of my drink. But I'm still tea kettle's not
• 4:39
  going right. Finally, finally, I wake up.
• 4:43
  I like to the fact that it's not happening, but only because I
• 4:47
  needed a tissue to blow my nose, which was now running because of
• 4:51
  the pollen. So I get up irritated because of
• 4:54
  the pollen issue with my nose, not because of the tea kettle.
• 4:57
  And I walk over and I go, huh, where is this tea kettle?
• 5:02
  Well, here's the thing. I didn't turn the stove on.
• 5:05
  I turned the fan on, but I didn't turn the stove on.
• 5:08
  I didn't follow through all the acts of what I was needed to do
• 5:12
  in order to get the hot drink because my head was all over the
• 5:15
  place. And as you can hear by what I'm
• 5:18
  telling you, it was all over the place.
• 5:20
  So I laughed and I said, you know, this is a perfect lesson
• 5:25
  for how we do this in our normal day.
• 5:28
  If we don't have a plan and if we don't put things in sequence
• 5:32
  and we don't work and slow down and stay in the moment, this is
• 5:35
  what shows up. So it was a great reminder for
• 5:38
  me. It's an even better funny
• 5:40
  reminder for you that it happens to all of us, the best of us,
• 5:43
  the people who teach this stuff. And I am just allowing myself to
• 5:48
  be in this wild creative space and this is what happens.
• 5:51
  So I have to bring a little bit more normalcy into my head and I
• 5:55
  have to bring a little bit more slowing down.
• 5:57
  And I need to not try to read 6 books at the same time probably.
• 6:02
  But that's OK. That's OK.
• 6:04
  I'm learning a ton and having fun.
• 6:06
  And I just had to share that with you because today I'm going
• 6:10
  to work on being much more mindful.
• 6:12
  I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you all
• 6:15
  tomorrow. Bye.
