• 0:31
  So what do you do when you have an overwhelming number of ideas
• 0:36
  floating through your head? And you truly don't know, you
• 0:40
  know what to do with them. All the subject came up over our
• 0:43
  vacation and my son was sharing with me, how he has so many
• 0:48
  ideas, of course, he's 14. So he's filled with all kinds of
• 0:54
  different thoughts, on all kinds of different things and things
• 0:57
  you wants to try and things that he doesn't know if he'll Like he
• 1:01
  said to me Mom what do you tell your clients when they have so
• 1:04
  many ideas? They don't know what to do and I
• 1:07
  started laughing and I said it's not just my guys, it's me.
• 1:10
  I have that problem. I am terrible when it comes to
• 1:13
  having an overwhelming number of ideas floating through my head.
• 1:17
  So I thought you know, I can't be the only person out there
• 1:21
  that has this challenge. So I figured well, I'm going to
• 1:23
  let everybody know about this. So first of all, it's an
• 1:26
  excellent thing to have an overwhelming number of ideas and
• 1:29
  often what happens. Ins is we get that feeling of
• 1:33
  just complete confusion because we fit think we have to address
• 1:38
  them all immediately. So, first and foremost, let's
• 1:41
  start off by saying you don't have to make each one happen
• 1:45
  ideas or their I personally believe ideas are pure energy as
• 1:49
  I've said before. In this podcast, no one knows
• 1:51
  not one scientist out there. Can even say where they come
• 1:54
  from. They can tell you what parts of
• 1:55
  the brain fire off, but they can't tell you how it arrives.
• 1:59
  So I have been Old through many different people that I have
• 2:04
  worked with in different spiritual aspects than ideas are
• 2:08
  alive. And they come to the person who
• 2:11
  they believe will actualize them, which I thought was like
• 2:14
  So Divine and interesting. So I always treat them with
• 2:18
  special care and if I don't want, you know, end up doing it.
• 2:22
  I just say, you know, I'm going to pass on this because for one
• 2:25
  reason or another, just because it picked me, I don't have to
• 2:28
  pick it now. I really want you to hear me say
• 2:30
  that. That just because the idea
• 2:32
  picked me doesn't mean I have to pick it.
• 2:35
  It's kind of, you know, a co-creation if you will.
• 2:38
  So first and foremost you can't make decisions like this until
• 2:43
  you go in to your head and get it all out and put it on paper.
• 2:47
  I am a huge fan of Mind, mapping everything.
• 2:51
  So, my mapping is nothing more than putting everything on
• 2:56
  paper, but not in this kind of like in visual bubbles, if you
• 2:59
  will, now you can look this. Up online and some people will
• 3:02
  say, oh it's best to do it in a computer and I hate that I'm
• 3:05
  just did some I'm a purist. I'm just a person who loves to
• 3:09
  have Sharpies and big huge pieces of paper and giant
• 3:12
  Post-it notes and just stuck to my wall.
• 3:15
  Like the meeting notes and just drawing on it.
• 3:17
  But the first thing is to put all these different bubbles that
• 3:21
  are in your head on the paper. Just get them all out and then
• 3:25
  don't judge them. Seriously don't judge them, just
• 3:28
  put them all on paper and then Walk by and again it's like
• 3:33
  think of it like thought bubble so you can draw a big circle in
• 3:36
  the middle and you can put your name and then around it.
• 3:39
  You can put like my when I did this with my son, it was like
• 3:41
  Lucas's ideas because we just finished doing one and then off
• 3:45
  of that big circle, we've got all these different little lines
• 3:48
  coming off of it with other thought, Bubbles.
• 3:50
  And in each one of those thought, bubbles is one of his
• 3:52
  ideas and so we got all the mountain.
• 3:55
  I said to him. Okay.
• 3:56
  Do you have any morning goes? Well, not right now, but can I
• 3:59
  keep the paper and I'm like, Yeah, keep adding to the paper
• 4:02
  and then off of each, one of those bubbles you can start to
• 4:05
  think about, okay, well, what else would go with this one?
• 4:08
  And what goes with this one? So, you just start draining all
• 4:12
  of that confusion in your head, to the paper.
• 4:14
  And you can look at it and say, well, maybe this is something I
• 4:18
  want to do, maybe it's not maybe there's things on here.
• 4:22
  The interest rate, maybe there's not or at least, you can start
• 4:25
  to get a hierarchy of it so that you're not stuck constantly
• 4:29
  trying to make things happen. Happen that are just, you know,
• 4:34
  not really what you want. They might it just because
• 4:37
  something gives you a little interest.
• 4:39
  So let me give you an example of this.
• 4:40
  So I am very interested in learning to do certain types of
• 4:45
  cooking. But I am not interested in
• 4:48
  learning to do other types of cooking.
• 4:50
  So I can look at it and I could put down cooking as one of my
• 4:53
  bubbles. But when I start thinking about
• 4:55
  it, what do I really want to do? What are the things I'm really
• 4:58
  interested in? Well, a big thing is, like,
• 5:00
  Fermenting and stuff that has to do with garden and everything
• 5:03
  that I'm growing. So I'm really expanding a
• 5:06
  fermenting and looking at doing Kim cheese and pickles, and all
• 5:10
  kinds of Kombucha, things like that.
• 5:13
  But other stuff, I just know it interests me, but I'm really
• 5:16
  more interested in eating quite honestly than I am in actually
• 5:20
  doing it. That's my husband stuff.
• 5:22
  I mean, he's such a great cook, so, I'm not going to cross that
• 5:25
  realm, I just it interests me, but not enough to drive at home,
• 5:30
  if that Makes sense. So, first things first, let's
• 5:34
  start with the brain dump. Go and clean your head out.
• 5:38
  Get all your ideas on a piece of paper, put them down and start
• 5:41
  thinking about them. And then tomorrow, we're going
• 5:43
  to resume this so we can really get you focused on what your
• 5:49
  Healthy Springtime growth process will look like, all
• 5:52
  right, my friends. I hope you have a blessed day
• 5:54
  and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
