• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so I have Question for you.
• 0:31
  How willing are you to take on new information and change your
• 0:36
  opinion or your mind about something?
• 0:39
  The I think this is such an important question because I
• 0:42
  feel as though often in the world of coaching and training,
• 0:48
  we run into people who come and they want to change, right?
• 0:51
  Obviously if you show up and you hire a coach and you, you know,
• 0:55
  are looking for shifts in your life, it's because you want to
• 0:57
  change and you think Often when you get there and I'm speaking
• 1:02
  from experience, from when I went into my first Endeavor of
• 1:05
  Shifting myself many, many years ago, I thought there was a Magic
• 1:11
  Bullet to it. I thought that if I just did
• 1:14
  ABCD, I could do certain actions.
• 1:18
  And then all of a sudden, I would be, you know, all set the
• 1:22
  truth is it comes down to being able to constantly cultivate
• 1:28
  your mindset about things as Well, as the information you're
• 1:32
  given and recognizing that you're probably not accurate
• 1:36
  about stuff that you believe, you know, to be true about
• 1:40
  yourself about other people about life, in general, about
• 1:44
  the world, cultures, whatever it may be often, we have become
• 1:50
  rigid and I thinking because of, you know, the things that have
• 1:54
  been passed down to us, what we've been taught about things.
• 1:57
  And I've talked about this in a different way before about the,
• 2:00
  you know, the The concepts that we borrow from other people, but
• 2:03
  I really want to talk about how willing you are to shift today
• 2:08
  because it comes up more and more where there is evidence
• 2:14
  that says, people are very very stuck because they don't want to
• 2:18
  take on that new information and change themselves.
• 2:21
  They just want to take on the information but they justify
• 2:24
  what they're hearing and then they don't shift themselves,
• 2:27
  they say, oh well it's this this or this and it's Do with me or
• 2:31
  how I think or how I'm showing up.
• 2:33
  And I know for myself that I had to do a lot of this, and it's
• 2:39
  specifically with this, you know, the situation of being
• 2:42
  married. I think that being in a
• 2:44
  relationship, whether you're married or not.
• 2:46
  If you're in a relationship with another person being in a,
• 2:49
  having a significant other in your life, pushes your buttons
• 2:54
  and it helps you learn where you are, rigid, where you are
• 2:58
  unreasonable, where you have A tendency to not make space for
• 3:03
  the other person and it is often one of the hardest things to do
• 3:10
  and one of the most rewarding things to do at the same time,
• 3:13
  when you recognize, how you think.
• 3:15
  And when you recognize what that your thought process does to the
• 3:18
  other person, or how that that makes the other person react
• 3:23
  when you react a certain way, or when you don't remove your
• 3:27
  preconceived ideas and Notions and you're not willing, Need to
• 3:30
  change and I think it becomes a big gnarly hairball if you will
• 3:37
  where it shows up everywhere else in your life and the truth
• 3:40
  is the older. I get the more I recognize in
• 3:45
  all the great lessons from all the great, you know,
• 3:48
  philosophers and teachers. That we have out there in order
• 3:52
  to create a different scenario in your life, different
• 3:55
  situations in your lives. You have to be willing to change
• 3:59
  yourself. It's always An inside job you
• 4:01
  that concept of changes in inside job is not just a
• 4:04
  concept. It's true and that requires you
• 4:07
  to be flexible and actually make the decision to change your
• 4:12
  mind. Literally change your mind about
• 4:15
  things, sit there and say, you know, I was not accurate with
• 4:19
  this, I need to shift my beliefs about this, I was God, forbid
• 4:24
  saying the words I was wrong, but actually saying that whether
• 4:28
  you profess it to other people or not is irrelevant, it's You
• 4:30
  do it to yourself, whether you recognize I was harsh.
• 4:34
  We in your response to somebody. When you say it to yourself.
• 4:40
  Even when you just pause and you say I was impatient, I can I do
• 4:44
  this sometimes when especially when I'm in the middle of trying
• 4:47
  to do a ton of different things and I'm trying to be mindful and
• 4:51
  I'm working very hard on being mindful but my son wants my
• 4:54
  attention in that moment and I get irritated and I might snap.
• 5:00
  Nap. I might snap back.
• 5:01
  I might say something in a harsh way or I might say, give me one
• 5:04
  second and then that one second turns into a half an hour
• 5:08
  because I forgot or whatever it might be, and I have to stop and
• 5:12
  say, to myself, that was wrong, that was the wrong way to do
• 5:14
  that. That was not the way to handle
• 5:16
  that. I have to pause and come back
• 5:18
  and say, wait, I can do better with that.
• 5:20
  Now whether I apologize to him, make the decision to apologize
• 5:23
  to him or not, is my choice moment to moment, and it's your
• 5:26
  choice, but telling yourself that, so, you can shift and
• 5:29
  cultivate an hour. A new pattern for this is what
• 5:34
  I'm talking about. It's that all that force of
• 5:37
  moving outward, the things that are coming out of you, the
• 5:39
  projection of things, the energy of things, it requires you to
• 5:45
  stop and pause and really push forward with this.
• 5:48
  So, what I'm I'm asking you guys to do, is to look at this and
• 5:53
  really check in with yourself and say, okay.
• 5:57
  Am I willing to take on new information and Change My Mind?
• 6:01
  One simple question to start asking yourself, am I willing to
• 6:04
  change my perspective and my willing to change my mind on
• 6:07
  this and my willing to think differently because again often
• 6:13
  most of the time 99% of the time if we can ask a better question
• 6:18
  we can change everything that's going on around us so I'm asking
• 6:21
  you to ask that question today and I hope that you guys find
• 6:24
  some amazing answers and I hope that you find that you are
• 6:26
  willing to Your mind and that you are willing to see things
• 6:29
  differently because that's where things start to get really
• 6:32
  interesting and you get to grow. So have a blessed day my friends
• 6:36
  and I will see you tomorrow.
