  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Curious question for you, what's the home screen on your phone?
• 0:34
  You know, we all have our phones and they are with us all the
• 0:37
  time, all the time. We all know we carry our phones
• 0:41
  all the time and we have that beautiful home screen that is
• 0:45
  right in front of us and we can pick and choose anything we want
• 0:49
  on our home screen and we can change it as much as we want to.
• 0:52
  And it represents something to us.
• 0:55
  Every time we open it, we see it.
• 0:56
  So what is the home screen on your phone?
• 1:01
  Have you looked at it lately and really consciously looked at it
• 1:03
  and said, why do I have this on my, my, my phone?
• 1:07
  Now, the reason I'm bringing this up is because it's an
• 1:09
  excellent opportunity to give yourself programming every time.
• 1:15
  Now, you think about how many times in a day you pick up your
• 1:17
  phone. You think about how many times
• 1:19
  in a day you're working with your phone, utilizing it,
• 1:23
  talking on it, whatever it might be.
• 1:25
  And that home screen is completely and totally
• 1:28
  accessible to your eyes all the time.
• 1:31
  So whatever you have put on it is is programming you.
• 1:36
  So I change mine often. It's like I like to rotate mine.
• 1:41
  I put things on it, pictures that I've shot during the day,
• 1:45
  like if it's one of the beautiful flowers, the chickens,
• 1:49
  family members, whatever it might be, I change it around a
• 1:51
  lot. But I often have messages to
• 1:54
  myself on there, especially if I'm working on something that I
• 1:57
  want to remember and I want to keep it to, you know, front of
• 2:00
  mind, top of mind. I, I will make sure that I am
• 2:05
  utilizing that available screen as something that I can use for
• 2:09
  my programming. So often a great question that I
• 2:15
  have used in the past, I haven't had to use it really recently,
• 2:18
  but for quite some time I would change the font.
• 2:21
  I would go in, I would make a graphic and then on my computer
• 2:25
  and then I would take a screenshot of it and I would use
• 2:27
  that as my thing. And the question would be, who
• 2:31
  do you choose to be? So I was speaking directly to
• 2:34
  myself. I'd read the question, who do
• 2:36
  you choose to be? And in this moment, I would read
• 2:40
  that and I'd say, God, all right, I need to be better at
• 2:43
  this. I need to be kinder.
• 2:45
  I need to be softer. I need to be slower.
• 2:47
  I need to be more thoughtful. And it would shift me right away
• 2:50
  because the message was right there.
• 2:52
  And that phone with me all the time was really helpful in the
• 2:56
  process of doing it. So if you think about the
• 3:00
  questions you want to ask yourself on your phone and
• 3:02
  utilizing that screen because it's so powerful, you really can
• 3:06
  gain a lot of programming time, but you have to think about what
• 3:11
  you want it to be. So the the real simple
• 3:14
  challenge, the real simple aspect of this today is figuring
• 3:19
  out what do you want to program in?
• 3:21
  Do you want to stop yourself from eating snacks?
• 3:25
  OK, that's a great question to ask yourself on your home screen
• 3:28
  of your phone. How much sugar are you going to
• 3:31
  consume today? The it's like the phone is
• 3:35
  asking you the questions. How much time will you take for
• 3:39
  yourself today? How much reading will you get
• 3:41
  done today? How many pictures will you take
• 3:44
  today? What kind of things are you
• 3:47
  going to accomplish today? All of those things are like
• 3:51
  great ways to start to put the attention back on what you want.
• 3:56
  How many steps are you getting today?
• 3:58
  Did you jump rope today? That's one that I just had
• 4:01
  recently. Did you jump rope today so that
• 4:04
  I can start to remind myself of these things.
• 4:07
  You can use it to utilize it to put your goals up there.
• 4:11
  If you really want to stay honed in and focused on your goals,
• 4:14
  then make it so that that that that that time, that space that
• 4:18
  is a constant reminder of your goals.
• 4:21
  I wouldn't recommend using it for all of them at once.
• 4:23
  What I would do is pick and choose two or three and put them
• 4:26
  on there. One, if it's really focused and
• 4:29
  you really want to make sure you're focused on it, I would do
• 4:31
  it that way. But I definitely, definitely
• 4:34
  would tell you utilize this space because that space is
• 4:37
  valuable. It is great space to use because
• 4:42
  you're going to see or your eyes are going to be on it probably
• 4:46
  no fewer than 50 times throughout the day from the time
• 4:49
  you wake up. And it's probably a hell of a
• 4:52
  lot more than that for most people, but it's right there and
• 4:56
  it's able to be utilized. So ask yourself what questions
• 5:00
  do I want to ask myself and put on there?
• 5:03
  What photos do I want to incorporate into it?
• 5:06
  Do I want to put a better version of myself out there?
• 5:08
  If you're trying to get healthier and you see yourself
• 5:10
  looking a certain way in older pictures and you want to get
• 5:13
  back to that weight or that look, put it on your home screen
• 5:16
  so you know you're like, that version of me does not eat cake
• 5:19
  or cookies or something else. Whatever it might be, make the
• 5:23
  choice because I promise you it will help you immensely when you
• 5:27
  do. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:29
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:31
  Bye.
