- 0:20Favorite happy places her chicken coop, along with all her
- 0:23chickens. Hey everybody.
- 0:29Good morning from the and Coop, we're going to talk today about
- 0:33how we consistently put ourselves aside and what this
- 0:40does to us because this has been a theme this week in coaching
- 0:44where people are upset that they're not getting things done
- 0:47and they are not, you know, feeling like they're making
- 0:51progress at the rate of which they want to make progress there
- 0:54feeling very discouraged by how much is being put on their plate
- 0:58at different jobs that they have or even What they're taking on
- 1:01at their own companies, and I have been hammering all week
- 1:06long on. You cannot go and help other
- 1:09people until you go and help yourself first.
- 1:12If you don't help yourself first, then we have issues
- 1:16because it is absolutely the perfect metaphor to talk about
- 1:21the mask. When the pilot says, if the
- 1:24Pratt the cabin depressurizes, a mask will fall from the ceiling
- 1:28and you should put it on yourself first.
- 1:30First. And there is no doubt in my mind
- 1:32that you cannot go out in this world on any given day and be
- 1:38okay. Unless you make a decision to
- 1:40make yourself, okay? First.
- 1:42And if you're consistently lying to yourself about what you're
- 1:45going to get done. And put saying, I'm going to do
- 1:47it tomorrow and then you don't do it.
- 1:49Or you're saying, I really need to work on this but you don't
- 1:52like to do it. So you keep putting it off or
- 1:55you just keep shoving stuff on your plate to make yourself.
- 2:00Sedated from the things that you're trying to hide from,
- 2:03which is taking care of yourself or something else.
- 2:06You're doing so much psychological damage to
- 2:10yourself, because you keep stockpiling and stockpiling and
- 2:13stockpiling, a bunch of things to do or stuff that you want to
- 2:20accomplish. Let's say, and you're just lying
- 2:25to yourself and the Damage that that does is so, Evie and so
- 2:31detrimental to what you're able to attract, simply even from the
- 2:35Law of Attraction, thinking about this, if you keep doing
- 2:38this to yourself, you can't get past the fact that these are
- 2:43laws of nature of my friend. These are laws of nature.
- 2:46You cannot attract that which you are not.
- 2:50It's impossible. So you if you want to attract
- 2:54abundance, you have to think abundance, you have to be in
- 2:57abundance in order to attract it, it.
- 3:00That's where everybody gets so stuck.
- 3:02So when you're in overwhelm and you're just in constant
- 3:05overwhelm, what do you think you're going to attract more
- 3:07overwhelm? So you have to cut the ties with
- 3:12it. You have to make decisions for
- 3:14yourself just this week. I said to my self and to my
- 3:18assistant first to myself, then to my assistant, I said, listen,
- 3:21we are not going to be doing the work on the website.
- 3:25We are going to be hiring a company that we work with to do
- 3:28it. Because one, what will Take her
- 3:31my assistant, three weeks to do and take me a week, just to get
- 3:34her, the all the ideas than 3 weeks for her to do this, this
- 3:38company can have done in two days and there, you won't have
- 3:41to worry about it, and I won't have to worry about it.
- 3:44And the level of just making the decision, simply the act of
- 3:50making the decision to take this off.
- 3:52My plate, will it cost me money? Yes, but is that money?
- 3:56Worth the the sense of peace. Knowing that it's going to be
- 4:01done well, and it's going to be finally finalized in a way.
- 4:07That is so good. I can't even begin to tell you
- 4:11the feeling of relief that that gives me.
- 4:14So, first of all, Yes, it and I know somebody out there might be
- 4:18listening and saying, well, I don't have the money to do that.
- 4:21I'm talking about one isolated situation, so don't sit there
- 4:24and compartmentalize this down to money.
- 4:26It's not about that. If I didn't have the money to do
- 4:30that, that I would simply sit there and say, okay, we are
- 4:33going to bootstrap, this, we are going to lock ourselves away,
- 4:38and we are going to get this done because the the feeling of
- 4:41not having it done is taking us out and it's not letting us
- 4:44progress. So, we must do this.
- 4:47And then believe me, I have locked myself in rooms for days
- 4:52at a time when I wrote, who's driving your bus, that was one
- 4:55week locked away. And let me tell you something, I
- 4:58didn't see many people because I In my pajamas, most of the time
- 5:04and I got it done and I said I'm not coming out until I got it
- 5:07done and I meant it. So this is a question of
- 5:13stopping this just at never-ending stream of beating
- 5:19yourself up by adding more and more and more to your list that,
- 5:22you know, you don't want to do that, you know, you you have no
- 5:26time to do for whatever reason. The reasons are irrelevant at
- 5:29this moment. It does not matter why you're
- 5:31doing it. What matters is that?
- 5:33You're psychologically, torturing yourself, and you have
- 5:35to learn to say no or you have to learn to say, hey you know
- 5:38what, I can do it and this is when I can do it and this is how
- 5:43I will do it, but you have to make the plans for it.
- 5:46You actually have to nail yourself down and don't give
- 5:50yourself any slack. So hopefully this is helpful.
- 5:55You're going to go kick your own ass.
- 5:56You're going to stop taking things on that.
- 5:58You just simply can't do. And you're going to the things
- 6:02that you do have to do, you are going to schedule them sit down
- 6:07and actually do them so you can feel accomplished and stop
- 6:11beating the crap out of yourself.
- 6:13Okay. I hope you guys have a blessed
- 6:15day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
