  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So this morning I want to talk to you a little bit.
• 0:33
  That weird noise is actually my coaching chicken, and she is
• 0:38
  just making this strange noise out of another chicken.
• 0:40
  No idea what that was. In any event, so we're talking
• 0:44
  today about my mom. So it was her birthday the other
• 0:48
  day. Obviously my mom has passed.
• 0:49
  Away I've. Talked about her many times on
• 0:51
  here and it was her birthday. The other day and.
• 0:55
  I really sat there and obviously I've not been feeling well
• 0:58
  because of this funk that I have and I didn't normally.
• 1:03
  I normally do something to like have these celebrations for my
• 1:07
  parents birthdays when they come up even though they're both
• 1:09
  gone. But I.
• 1:11
  Didn't. And I was very remiss at the
• 1:15
  fact that I just didn't feel well enough to put something
• 1:18
  together and think about it even.
• 1:20
  I just was like, I just can't do it.
• 1:22
  I just I can't do it. It was, it was just too much in
• 1:26
  my head to do it. And I recognize how I was
• 1:29
  beating myself up for something. I kept saying, oh, I should have
• 1:33
  done this. I should have done this.
• 1:34
  I should have done this. And I, you know, I'm shooting
• 1:36
  all over myself and I'm not actually feeling very good
• 1:40
  anyway. And then I'm making it worse by
• 1:42
  compounding it and doing something like that.
• 1:45
  And I went to sleep. And I woke up.
• 1:48
  And I had this strange feeling that of, of just feeling like it
• 1:53
  was all released, like I, it was all gone.
• 1:55
  I let it all go and I felt OK. I was like, all right, So
• 1:59
  clearly I got some peace about this.
• 2:01
  And I couldn't figure out what happened and why I had this
• 2:03
  peace about it. But then I saw this.
• 2:06
  Little. Note that came up in my like
• 2:09
  when I flip through pictures, I often take pictures of things
• 2:11
  and this little note comes up and it's this reminder about how
• 2:15
  where everything is energy. And I realize I'm like, wow, so
• 2:19
  you know what happened? I was beating myself up in my
• 2:21
  logical mind and my emotional state of being.
• 2:24
  I was beating myself up for something and then I'm never
• 2:27
  disconnected. From energy.
• 2:29
  I'm never disconnected. I truly mean that I'm not.
• 2:32
  I'm not. Even though my parents are not
• 2:33
  here, I'm not necessarily disconnected from them.
• 2:36
  I believe that that energy is there because I can call on it
• 2:39
  at any time. So I stayed really focused on,
• 2:44
  you know, what I was doing wrong with it.
• 2:46
  And then I realized. When I went to.
• 2:47
  Sleep. I released it and I felt like it
• 2:50
  was. I was relieved.
• 2:52
  Because clearly. This was not a something that
• 2:55
  needed to be done in that moment, having a birthday when
• 2:58
  you're gone. Is a.
• 3:00
  Reminder of something, but it to that person that energy has.
• 3:04
  Shifted. And changed.
• 3:05
  So I was making it a big deal and I recognized wow, I could
• 3:08
  celebrate her any day I I want. I could celebrate them both.
• 3:11
  I could celebrate anything at any point in time if I choose to
• 3:16
  have that celebration. So that's what I decided to
• 3:19
  finally do. I decided that I was going to
• 3:21
  call on the celebrations. I was going to do what I needed
• 3:23
  to. Do in order to make.
• 3:24
  Myself recognize that I was being.
• 3:27
  Ridiculous and the moment I. Started doing that guys, I felt
• 3:31
  instantaneously relieved, I felt.
• 3:35
  Well, I can create this however I want.
• 3:37
  I can create the happiness I can create.
• 3:40
  The. Connection I can make up stuff
• 3:42
  that makes me feel incredible based on the fact that my
• 3:46
  parents made me feel incredible and.
• 3:50
  I I could easily. You know, tap into it.
• 3:54
  I just needed to make a choice. So the challenge always is.
• 3:58
  Remembering these little things in the moment.
• 4:01
  Snapping. Out of it, pulling yourself into
• 4:03
  a different headspace and saying, Nope, I don't have to
• 4:05
  think this negative way. I don't have to think this
• 4:08
  crappy way that I'm thinking. I could think in a better
• 4:11
  manner. I could think in a better way.
• 4:13
  I could think about this completely differently if I
• 4:16
  choose. And that's.
• 4:18
  The whole thing, it's the choosing part.
• 4:20
  It's the part where we have to get tied up and say, hey, you
• 4:23
  know what? This is not necessary right now.
• 4:26
  Is this going to get me? To a feeling.
• 4:28
  That is empowering and the answer was no.
• 4:31
  So as soon as I stopped it, I recognized I can celebrate
• 4:35
  whatever I want whenever I want. And it.
• 4:37
  Also changed my mind about other stuff that I've got going on
• 4:40
  'cause I need to restructure. Some things.
• 4:43
  In my business and I recognized that wow, OK, I'm really like
• 4:48
  capable of totally reshaping this when I want to.
• 4:52
  So. It's a reminder for all of us
• 4:55
  that we can reshape anything when we choose to, when we
• 4:58
  focus, when we put ourselves in the.
• 5:00
  Right headspace. We can shape it however we want.
• 5:03
  So hopefully this helps. You guys as much as it helped me
• 5:07
  and I will see you guys tomorrow and I hope this funky thing is
• 5:12
  gone in my throat. All right, my friends, have a
• 5:14
  blessed day. Bye.
