• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken poop.
• 0:31
  Today we are talking about satiating your mind and healthy
• 0:34
  thoughts. And I'm going to link this back
• 0:36
  to yesterday because yesterday we talked about, you know,
• 0:39
  labels and how we use our labels.
• 0:41
  So now we're going to go back and say, well, are my labels
• 0:44
  something that I can say are healthy?
• 0:46
  Are they healthy labels or are they disempowering?
• 0:49
  Are they giving me a path to satiate my mind in thoughts of
• 0:54
  dread or thoughts of despair or thoughts of anxiety?
• 0:58
  Because you know that all takes place with whatever thoughts we
• 1:01
  have. We truly don't have a clue about
• 1:04
  what's going on back there and what type of thoughts we have
• 1:08
  until we really start looking at them.
• 1:10
  And are we satiating our mind and the good powerful thoughts
• 1:13
  or are we satiating our mind in disempowering thoughts?
• 1:17
  So today I wanted you to really focus on satiating your mind.
• 1:23
  What does that actually mean? Well, it's when you think about
• 1:26
  it, it's taking floods massive amounts.
• 1:30
  So when something is satiated, it is saturated.
• 1:32
  It is beyond taking anything else in.
• 1:35
  And that's the intent of these positive thoughts.
• 1:38
  Like how do I put so many positive thoughts together that
• 1:42
  my brain is just flooded with goodness?
• 1:45
  Now, there are many tricks to this and you know, obviously we
• 1:50
  don't think about this kind of stuff regularly until we kind of
• 1:54
  dig in. But have you ever watched a
• 1:57
  scary movie and you spent 2 1/2 hours watching a scary movie and
• 2:01
  then you can't sleep that night? I don't know about you, but me
• 2:04
  that's I'm all about that. I cannot watch scary movies at
• 2:07
  night. In fact, I mostly can't watch
• 2:09
  scary movies because my brain will just keep looping on them.
• 2:12
  Or we watch a disturbing movie, or we watch something that gets
• 2:16
  into our head and we wonder, why did this have such an impact on
• 2:20
  me? Why was this effect so large?
• 2:22
  Well, and you know, when we really dig in, we sat for 2 1/2
• 2:27
  hours and we watched something that was intense and it was so
• 2:32
  intense, we satiated our mind in it.
• 2:35
  We were completely consumed by it and it took us over.
• 2:39
  And then voila, we have the reality of dealing with this
• 2:43
  issue that it's now in our head. We can't get it out.
• 2:46
  It's like having a song. Does anybody remember out there
• 2:49
  the Vengabus, that awful song from years ago?
• 2:53
  And it would get in your head and you couldn't not hear it.
• 2:56
  And as soon as somebody, you know, even says it, you're like,
• 2:58
  Oh no, not the song. Or you know, Baby Shark, that
• 3:02
  song. Oh my God, everybody could not
• 3:04
  get that song out of their head. And you just kept hearing it
• 3:07
  over and over. Well, you're satiating it in
• 3:09
  something you don't want or something silly, but that's what
• 3:12
  it feels like to be satiated, created.
• 3:14
  You can't get it out. It's like it's, you're just
• 3:16
  drowning in the thoughts. But here's the tricky part.
• 3:20
  This works for positive and negative things.
• 3:22
  This works for lots of different things.
• 3:24
  And one of the scariest parts of all of this is that we have the
• 3:28
  ability to do this with our emotions and our negative
• 3:32
  thoughts and we don't even realize it.
• 3:34
  So it's just happening behind the scenes, happening,
• 3:36
  happening, happening, happening. And we are satiating ourselves
• 3:39
  in thoughts of anxiety or thoughts of dread or thoughts of
• 3:42
  future pace, people worrying about, you know, what's next,
• 3:47
  what's going to happen. We're all off out there and
• 3:50
  we're just drowning in it. But we don't recognize it
• 3:54
  because it's not something that we consciously choose.
• 3:58
  It's just patterns. You've heard me mention this
• 4:00
  before. So how do you stop it?
• 4:02
  How do you essentially stop it? Well, the very first trick that
• 4:08
  is so important is to one recognize that it's happening.
• 4:11
  And then you can say, okay, I'd like to choose better thoughts,
• 4:14
  but you have to do extremes when you want to do this kind of
• 4:18
  stuff. You have to take it to the
• 4:19
  satiation level. So you have to put on like
• 4:24
  something that maybe it's a like a soundtrack.
• 4:27
  You create a soundtrack if you want to do it with music.
• 4:29
  And every single song is like upbeat and powerful and you just
• 4:33
  keep listening. You know, you got 50 songs in
• 4:36
  your soundtrack. And every day you just have your
• 4:38
  soundtrack of happiness, your soundtrack of being productive.
• 4:42
  And you put that on in the morning and you satiate it or
• 4:45
  you say, OK, I'm going to read intently for this amount of
• 4:50
  time. And it can't just be like the
• 4:52
  five minute blips, like what I do is to interrupt your
• 4:54
  patterns, give you thoughts. But this, I'm talking about
• 4:57
  something different here. I'm talking about really
• 4:59
  satiating yourself. So usually you need to do this
• 5:02
  for like 2530 minutes is a good amount of time to say, I did
• 5:08
  that emotional wipeout of satiation, flooding, pouring it
• 5:12
  in. And then you'll start to see
• 5:14
  something great come out of it. Now you can do this with
• 5:18
  meditation, you can do this with mindfulness, you can walk with
• 5:21
  intention, you can do all these things, but you've got to
• 5:24
  control the the flow of what's going in and the quality of
• 5:27
  what's going in. But you can start with that and
• 5:29
  see if you can Kick It Out. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:32
  you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:34
  Bye.
