- 0:20Favorite happy places her chicken coop, along with all her
- 0:23chickens. Hey everybody, good morning.
- 0:30From the chicken coop, the rain is coming down the roosters are
- 0:34out here. Going wild talking to each other
- 0:37in the neighborhood this morning.
- 0:38Sure, you're going to hear that going off.
- 0:41And we are talking about, are you go?
- 0:45We are talking today about future pacing and figuring out.
- 0:51Is it the right thing to do? I've had so many people ask me
- 0:56that recently and I'm like, you know, it's interesting because I
- 1:00Mad future Pacer. And might be saying, what the
- 1:03hell is that Kim? Well, basically, it's where
- 1:05you're constantly thinking about.
- 1:07What's next? What you want to do your, you
- 1:10know, in the future. So to speak, you know, like the
- 1:13Jetsons, your way out there and and you're having this moment
- 1:18where you're not present where you are.
- 1:21So you're obviously you're physically present where you
- 1:24are, but your brain is somewhere else and you say to yourself,
- 1:27okay? You know, what would this look
- 1:29like? What would I do?
- 1:30How do you feel? You get really excited about
- 1:32being out in the future. And, you know, obviously it's
- 1:36one of those things where it's a we say it's kind of like salt,
- 1:40if you use too much of it, it becomes a problem.
- 1:44You know, all of a sudden, you have hypertension, all of a
- 1:46sudden, you have issues where you're swelling up all of a
- 1:49sudden, your heart's, not healthy.
- 1:51And I like to think for myself that that's a little bit what
- 1:55future pacing is like because I'm super creative and
- 1:57imaginative, so I can go to my future.
- 2:00Really, really quickly and really enjoy being out there and
- 2:05thinking about it and goal-setting and doing all that
- 2:07stuff. I mean that's how everything
- 2:09comes into play in the world, right?
- 2:11You start to see it somewhere and then you start to imagine it
- 2:16in a bigger way and then all of a sudden you're really excited
- 2:19about it. So now we've got the emotion
- 2:20kicking in and then before you know it you have a giant chicken
- 2:24coop like we do now well because this is how it works.
- 2:28So the question that people often get entangled with and I
- 2:33do want to use that word entangled because it's hard to
- 2:37know what is the right thing to do.
- 2:40And we're always asking, is that the right thing to do is that
- 2:43the correct thing to do and again like salt, sometimes when
- 2:48you're cooking and you don't use any salt, and I love this
- 2:52metaphor, especially for myself because I am a, is there salt in
- 2:56that? I don't like salt or So much,
- 2:59but I know it makes things taste better, but too much of it
- 3:03really doesn't make me feel well.
- 3:05So, I have this paranoia, if you will around Salt.
- 3:10So I'm always asking about, in fact, I drive my husband crazy
- 3:12about salt. So, and he always look at me
- 3:15before you put the food down, when he cooks, he's like,
- 3:18there's no salt in yours, or there's very little salt in
- 3:21yours, or I kept it to a minimum, whatever he's going to
- 3:24say. So it's a great metaphor because
- 3:28I'm constantly cautious of it and this is what I'm talking
- 3:32about with the future pacing. Now I want you to realize
- 3:36there's absolutely no reason to not future Pace.
- 3:40There's absolutely not one thing it says never future pays but
- 3:46when you're staying out there all the time and you're not in
- 3:49the present moment, the challenge is, your present
- 3:51moment is not helping you. It's not get, you're not in the
- 3:55right energy in that moment. You're off somewhere else and
- 3:58your head. So the trick that I have found
- 4:01is to go back and forth to, you can absolutely have that time,
- 4:06but then you come back and when you come back from the future
- 4:10sound like, you know, that Michael J fox movie Back to the
- 4:14Future. When you come back from the
- 4:15future, you're going to take that joyous anticipation with
- 4:21you and bring it back. So you're excited because that's
- 4:23part of the manifesting process. So it's it's dipping out.
- 4:28Coming back, getting out coming back, there is absolutely
- 4:32nothing wrong with that. And I find for myself personally
- 4:36that I like that more, because then it puts me back into my
- 4:40doing head, and my doing head is really powerful.
- 4:43So I want to use that. I want to stay in that place
- 4:46because I really, like my list. I like checking things off.
- 4:50I like tracking my wins. So, this is a really useful tool
- 4:54for me because I get to use my creative pieces, and I get to
- 4:57use the Other parts of me as well.
- 5:00And it feels fantastic. When you do that, you know,
- 5:04often we forget certain things and we forget that our
- 5:09imagination is part of that future pacing.
- 5:11And Imagination is our gift from God.
- 5:13So what we do with it is our gift back.
- 5:15So we want to do that and you know, Abraham Hicks, who you if
- 5:20you spend any time with me, you know I absolutely love Esther
- 5:23Hicks and Abraham and just the whole Essence of what she
- 5:30teaches. Regardless of opinions, about
- 5:32how she gets it or whatnot, the essence of what she teaches is
- 5:35fabulous. And there's a quote, I want to
- 5:38read you guys this from one of her excerpts that she did on a
- 5:41live event. And she says, people say, if I'm
- 5:44always getting goals and reaching for the future, then I
- 5:48am. I not squandering my now and we
- 5:50say that in your now, you are using a future event to make you
- 5:55feel good, you are still feeling good in your now and that's the
- 5:58The best use that you could ever find.
- 6:02So see it's for for her teachings.
- 6:05It's always about how you feel in the moment, always about what
- 6:09your present moment is. And that's that point of
- 6:12Attraction. So I love that and I wanted to
- 6:16share that with you because I think it's so powerful.
- 6:18I hope you guys do some future pacing today.
- 6:21I hope you guys bring it back to the now.
- 6:23I hope you stay in that joyous anticipation of knowing that you
- 6:27just planted Seeds out there and they're going to be growing.
- 6:32So I have a very, very blessed day and I will see you all
- 6:35tomorrow. Bye.
