  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so So today we are talking
• 0:32
  about habits of the successful and happy and I think that there
• 0:37
  is a distinction, sometimes people just, you know, focus on
• 0:41
  success and sometimes they focus on happiness.
• 0:43
  But I like to really say well if you're successful and you're not
• 0:47
  happy then hmm what's it really in it for you and if you're
• 0:51
  happy and you don't care about being successful, that's okay,
• 0:54
  but if you really do want to be successful and I when I think
• 0:57
  successful, I really do mean by your own standards, whatever.
• 1:00
  Is for you and how you define it.
• 1:03
  You know, if you're not getting that, then there's something
• 1:07
  that has to be looked at. So often you know I know you've
• 1:11
  heard me say before success leaves Clues and I strongly
• 1:16
  strongly know that. That's the case and when you
• 1:18
  start to go and pull apart and analyze, what successful
• 1:22
  successful people do as well as happy people do and you look at
• 1:26
  a combination of both of them, you can start to see.
• 1:29
  There are three pillars of Of and principles involved in this,
• 1:33
  one of them is intentions, one of them is your body and your
• 1:36
  health and the other one is your brain.
• 1:38
  So let's take a little bit of a deep dive into this, as deep as
• 1:42
  we can get in a morning podcast like this the way we're doing
• 1:46
  it. But I'm going to give you some
• 1:47
  thoughts on this. So first of all intentions, what
• 1:50
  do I mean? When I say that?
• 1:52
  Well, waking up with an intention to have a good day,
• 1:57
  seeing it, as if it is already. Done is critical.
• 2:00
  I cannot State this enough. I sound like a broken record
• 2:04
  when I talk about this to my clients and people who, when I
• 2:08
  go out and speak, this is such a big deal because if you are
• 2:12
  expecting a failure, you will get a failure.
• 2:15
  You get what you expect. And it's important to recognize.
• 2:18
  What are the intentions that I'm putting out there.
• 2:21
  Even before I go to bed at night for the next day, am I intending
• 2:24
  my day to be chaotic and my intending my day to be great.
• 2:28
  So, you know, I will tell you, I I work on that constantly for
• 2:32
  myself, looking and seeing it as if it's already done in a great
• 2:35
  way and having a positive version of it.
• 2:38
  Yeah, there there's options for all kinds of versions of things.
• 2:43
  But why would you choose to to stay in one?
• 2:46
  That is not optimistic and pushing you into a place of your
• 2:51
  greatness. You can look at all the
• 2:53
  different options. And I'm not saying you
• 2:54
  shouldn't, because part of my role in the world with with
• 2:58
  people that I work with is to help them.
• 2:59
  See all the different Positive and negative.
• 3:01
  So they know what to work with. But I'm talking about where your
• 3:05
  focus goes, where your pinpoint focus goes and if you're not
• 3:08
  intending on having a great day, before you even go to bed at
• 3:14
  night, you're going to wake up and you're going to find
• 3:16
  yourself pulled by an email that came in overnight and pissed.
• 3:19
  You off, you're going to find yourself being irritated by
• 3:23
  because your kids can't get up and get out of school.
• 3:25
  Ready for school on time, you're going to find the fact that the
• 3:28
  fact that you're aggravated by the fact that the Printer won't
• 3:31
  work mean. God knows we all go through that
• 3:33
  when we go to print something and we really need it and that
• 3:35
  moment and then the printer says oh I'm not working right now and
• 3:38
  we all just want to put our fists through it and the
• 3:41
  frustration is there and you won't get past it quickly.
• 3:44
  I'm not saying those things won't happen.
• 3:46
  I'm saying they're going to happen, but your intention to
• 3:48
  have a good day if you're really on and you're paying attention
• 3:51
  to it. And that moment you're just
• 3:52
  gonna be like a, you know what? I don't even care that that just
• 3:55
  happened. You know what?
• 3:56
  I'm letting it go. I'm moving on because that's
• 3:57
  what you need to do. So intentions for What you want
• 4:01
  to make happen, and see it as how you want it to be big deal.
• 4:06
  Okay. Body and health boy.
• 4:08
  Oh, boy, this is such a big, big thing, especially when you know,
• 4:13
  you're not where you want to be. So, you know, you need to lose
• 4:16
  weight, you know, you want to be healthier, you know, you want to
• 4:19
  drink less alcohol, you know, you want to get out there and
• 4:21
  get more steps and whatever it might be, but you let it slide,
• 4:24
  let it, slide. Let it, slide.
• 4:25
  Let it slide well. You're a body will constantly
• 4:29
  take you down. That's why you Of afternoon,
• 4:31
  slumps. That's why you have fog.
• 4:33
  You can't think clearly it's all because of the health reasons.
• 4:36
  If you're not hydrated, if you are not taking care of yourself,
• 4:40
  if you're living on sugar, if you're living on things that are
• 4:44
  not good for you and you're just riding by and picking up fast
• 4:49
  food and your salt intake is high and you're not taking in
• 4:53
  enough freshwater. I'm telling you right now.
• 4:56
  There is no question in my mind that that has a absolute.
• 5:00
  Sound impact on performance across the board, whether it be
• 5:04
  physical performance or mental performance, so clean up your
• 5:09
  act because without that piece, you will go everywhere.
• 5:14
  Slowly promise you, you want to get where you want to be in less
• 5:18
  time and have more fun doing it. Get yourself healthy, suck it
• 5:23
  up, do the work that's necessary in order to do it.
• 5:26
  And this is one of those things. All these pillars that I'm
• 5:29
  talking about you, You can't have somebody else.
• 5:32
  Think for you you can't have somebody else.
• 5:34
  Do the physical work. You're the only one, but when
• 5:37
  you set a boundary and you say I'm going to do this physical
• 5:39
  work and I'm setting myself up for Success.
• 5:42
  There's no stopping you at that point because you're fighting
• 5:45
  for yourself right there and then everybody around you can
• 5:48
  see what you're doing and they rise to the occasion.
• 5:50
  So make sure that that's on your list.
• 5:56
  Third brain, okay. Brain piece of this is
• 6:00
  monitoring. What are your habitual thoughts?
• 6:03
  What habitual emotions are you using?
• 6:06
  And who's driving that bus? Because if you're a habitual
• 6:09
  emotions that are driving are just absolutely, you know,
• 6:14
  irritation frustration, aggravation, you know, sadness,
• 6:20
  whatever the the Dark Side of those emotions might be again.
• 6:24
  No emotions are bad. They're here to give us
• 6:26
  information but if you stay in it and you don't do something
• 6:30
  about it and it becomes your one of your primary drivers, you
• 6:35
  can't help but have problems with what you're trying to do.
• 6:38
  So you've got to fix it. You've got to pay attention to
• 6:41
  what's going on in your head. And you've got to pay attention
• 6:44
  to how you speak to yourself in that process.
• 6:47
  I cannot stress this enough, I have to catch myself, everybody
• 6:51
  has to catch themselves and nobody can do it.
• 6:55
  But you, you have to be the one that goes in there.
• 6:58
  I can tell you how to do it. I can tell you what to look for.
• 7:01
  I can tell you how to shift it, but you know what?
• 7:03
  In the final analysis, if you don't love yourself enough to do
• 7:07
  the work, nobody else is going to do it for you.
• 7:09
  You will sit there and you will, I love to use this metaphor
• 7:13
  because it makes one of my clients laugh.
• 7:14
  Really hard every time I say it but I'm like, it's like having a
• 7:17
  dirty diaper. You have crapped your diaper and
• 7:20
  you sit in it and you just get a diaper rash and you stink and
• 7:24
  you do nothing about it. You have got to get up, clean
• 7:28
  yourself up, change your diaper and say, listen, I'm just not
• 7:31
  going to do that to myself anymore, because when I do that,
• 7:34
  it doesn't work and long-term. It's detrimental to your
• 7:38
  progress to your well-being, to your to your overall happiness.
• 7:45
  You can't get there if you don't monitor these things.
• 7:48
  So you guys have a really interesting assignment today to
• 7:53
