  Hey everybody good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today we are talking about adaptability because this has
• 0:35
  been a non-stop adaptability morning for me.
• 0:39
  One thing after another it has just been OK.
• 0:42
  The best laid plans all of a sudden seem to go out the window
• 0:46
  and you have to adapt. And I thought well in my.
• 0:50
  Never ending quest right now to find the adaptability.
• 0:53
  I should talk to them about this because I think it's kind of a
• 0:55
  an interesting thing. So I am in the biz.
• 0:58
  I've talked, you know the last couple months I've been talking
• 1:01
  about how we are in the process of doing some really cool things
• 1:05
  and getting some content to be able to give away and get out
• 1:10
  there and then creating a new website and all this stuff.
• 1:12
  And I have had to just constantly adapt in the process
• 1:15
  of doing this because things shift and change.
• 1:18
  You change your ideas, You change thoughts.
• 1:20
  And even software you think you're using something, you
• 1:22
  think it's going to be great, then all of a sudden you have to
• 1:24
  adapt. And I have been recording and
• 1:29
  then I find out that some of the recording stuff wasn't working
• 1:31
  properly. I had an echo in the studio.
• 1:34
  I could give you a list a mile long, but in the process of all
• 1:38
  of this, it has put a delay on some stuff.
• 1:41
  I've had to step back and think about what I'm doing.
• 1:43
  I had to think about how I wanted to proceed with it all
• 1:47
  and. You know, these are the times
• 1:49
  where you say to yourself, well, what if I just don't do it?
• 1:52
  What if I just decide because I'm no one's holding a gun to my
• 1:56
  head to do this. I'm the one who's putting this
• 1:58
  out there. I'm the one that said I wanted
• 2:00
  to create this. So it's essentially my perfect
• 2:04
  world and I can do it however I want.
• 2:07
  And here I am causing myself all this grief in the process of it.
• 2:10
  And I thought, well, wait a minute, it didn't start out
• 2:13
  where you were causing yourself grief.
• 2:14
  You started off enjoying this? So having this ability to be
• 2:19
  able to be adaptable and change your plans and not be upset is a
• 2:24
  huge thing for me because it's necessary to do that.
• 2:28
  Not to mention even this morning as I'm getting ready to come
• 2:31
  out, you know, it's the time change makes it later and later
• 2:35
  before I can record. And then I have to I'm, I'm
• 2:38
  looking. And I'm saying, OK, well, it's
• 2:39
  not even light yet, and I'm supposed to be talking to people
• 2:42
  and now I've got to shoot a podcast and something that's
• 2:45
  supposed to be fun is causing stress.
• 2:47
  So I'm still in this position where I'm like, holy cow, I need
• 2:51
  to do something about this. I need to get my head screwed
• 2:54
  around this, and I need to get back to being okay with it.
• 2:58
  I have to get back to being OK with it because if I don't, I'm
• 3:02
  going to cause myself a tremendous amount of stress.
• 3:05
  So first and foremost, I want to talk to you about getting back
• 3:08
  to being OK. But you can't get there until
• 3:11
  you're aware of where you're faltering.
• 3:13
  So the very first thing I had to be aware of is where is my head
• 3:16
  going sideways? What is causing me to go
• 3:19
  sideways, so to speak? And the first thing was my
• 3:23
  certainty Girl was driving and I wasn't.
• 3:25
  I wasn't even close to being OK with the fact that I was off
• 3:31
  track. Now, mind you, I created the
• 3:34
  track. So I can change my mind, I can
• 3:38
  allow things to shift, and that's what I had to start
• 3:41
  getting back in touch with. I created this problem so I can
• 3:45
  solve this problem. I don't have to be a nut job
• 3:48
  about it. I can just say stop.
• 3:50
  I can recalibrate this, I can shift it.
• 3:53
  And I can be incredibly adaptable.
• 3:55
  I can, I can just, OK, adapt to the change, adapt to the change.
• 3:59
  Because that's what survival is all about, being able to adapt
• 4:02
  to change. That's why so many animals have
• 4:05
  been able to survive, because they've been able to adapt to
• 4:07
  change. And if I'm not adapting to
• 4:08
  change, there's a chance I struggle and I can't survive.
• 4:13
  So first and foremost, remember that that is a piece of the
• 4:16
  puzzle that you can absolutely, without question, do and save
• 4:20
  yourself a heck of a lot of aggravation.
• 4:23
  Next, remember that you can't do anything unless you make the
• 4:28
  decision to be. Cognitively aware of what's
• 4:31
  going on around you. So being super aware of, like,
• 4:34
  OK, this is off track and I'm experiencing stress because
• 4:38
  you're going to know you're off track, but you have to be aware
• 4:42
  of what it's doing to you in the process.
• 4:44
  So it's not just about saying, oh, I'm off track.
• 4:48
  It's about saying what is it doing to me?
• 4:50
  What is it causing me? How much stress is it bringing
• 4:52
  to me? And then you can pull yourself
• 4:55
  back from it and be like OK, now that I have these two bits of
• 4:58
  information. And I can say, OK, how do I want
• 5:02
  to shift in this moment? How do I want to be different?
• 5:05
  What can I do to be different? How can I structure what my
• 5:08
  thoughts are around being different so that I don't allow
• 5:11
  myself to be this stressed because it's not helping me.
• 5:14
  And when you start to think the process through, all of a sudden
• 5:18
  everything starts to feel easier, better, and you can
• 5:21
  start to. You know, navigate it.
• 5:24
  Now, you might not be able to get completely around it, but
• 5:26
  you can certainly navigate it. And that's what we're looking
• 5:29
  for. That's what we're talking about.
• 5:31
  The navigation of it all, not just sitting there and feeling
• 5:34
  sorry for yourself and doing nothing about it because that's
• 5:37
  not going to help at all. Quite honestly, that doesn't
• 5:39
  help at all. So keep that in mind.
• 5:42
  Focus on that point of saying, you know what?
• 5:45
  Sometimes you just got to be adaptable, Sometimes you got to
• 5:47
  be very adaptable, extremely adaptable.
• 5:51
  And you'll get past it just like I did.
• 5:53
  All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:55
  I hope you have a blessed day. Bye.
