• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  I have to confess, I am not the most patient person in the
• 0:34
  world. I farm, I do all this stuff.
• 0:36
  I grow vegetables, I grow flowers.
• 0:39
  I do all of this because it's part of the mental health
• 0:41
  process that I go through for myself and it teaches me so much
• 0:45
  about what I need to teach all of you and how I just can see
• 0:51
  that it pushes my patients buttons and everything else
• 0:55
  around it and I am not patient. My mother used to joke around
• 0:58
  that when they gave out patients.
• 0:59
  I was not someone who got in line for that and I truly
• 1:02
  believe that that is that is accurate.
• 1:04
  I did not get in line for patients.
• 1:06
  However, little thing I would like to share with you about
• 1:10
  this, it's not how long you can wait, it's how well you do while
• 1:14
  you are waiting. And when I recognize that it's
• 1:17
  not about the fact that I am actually able to wait the length
• 1:21
  of time. It's about what's happening
• 1:23
  inside of me while I'm waiting, Oh my gosh, what a concept to to
• 1:28
  dig into that and start to look at it.
• 1:30
  Because can I stubbornly sit there and make something happen
• 1:34
  and say, Oh well, fine, you want to see this?
• 1:36
  Yeah, I'll show you and I can suck it up and wait it out.
• 1:40
  Yes, absolutely. I will be the first person to
• 1:42
  admit that I can do that and I can do it really well because I
• 1:46
  am as stubborn as the day is long.
• 1:48
  And that doesn't mean that I'm doing it successfully
• 1:52
  internally, I promise you. Inside, I might be bashing my
• 1:57
  head against the proverbial steering wheel of the bus that I
• 1:59
  drive because I can't stand waiting.
• 2:02
  I can't stand to be put in that position, or I'm watching things
• 2:06
  go on around me and I get so frustrated with it, nobody else
• 2:10
  would know. But that doesn't mean that
• 2:12
  inside I'm not losing my mind. So why am I bringing this up to
• 2:16
  all of you? Because I know we all do the
• 2:18
  same thing. Because I know that we all have
• 2:20
  to wait on things. I know each and every one of us
• 2:23
  has something probably right now that we are waiting for and
• 2:26
  we're just sitting there and just dying a little bit inside
• 2:31
  each moment because we're waiting for it.
• 2:32
  And it's not right to be torturing yourself like that.
• 2:37
  So it's something that I am constantly trying to work on
• 2:39
  myself in saying it's not just about sucking it up, Kim.
• 2:45
  It's about sitting there and doing how well you do.
• 2:47
  It's about sitting there and doing it in a state of peace.
• 2:51
  It's about going through the process and staying centered and
• 2:55
  calm and keep and having to keep coming back to it.
• 2:59
  And for me, the whole thing about course correcting over and
• 3:02
  over and over again is very it's a very hard concept for most
• 3:06
  people to learn because you you feel like I changed it once, I
• 3:10
  should be fine, I should be done.
• 3:12
  I shouldn't have to worry about this.
• 3:13
  But you know what we do? We have to worry about it
• 3:16
  because course correction takes place over time and it took a
• 3:19
  long time to gain these patterns and you just don't get rid of
• 3:23
  them overnight. And in the process of
• 3:25
  recognizing that, you're able to say, OK, this has been with me,
• 3:29
  you know, 4050, sixty years, 30 years, whatever it might be.
• 3:34
  I'm going to have to do work on this more than 10 minutes.
• 3:37
  I'm going to have to work on this over time.
• 3:39
  I'm going to have to put together all the different
• 3:42
  tricks and tools that I can pull out to make it work.
• 3:45
  Because it it takes effort and it takes consistent effort and
• 3:50
  it takes the knowledge that while you are course correcting,
• 3:55
  you are going to feel off and you have to pull yourself back.
• 3:58
  And you have to know this is what happens while you're
• 4:02
  waiting, this is what happens. It's it's what the work has to
• 4:05
  be done. So be patient with yourself and
• 4:07
  recognize it's not just the sucking it up portion, it's how
• 4:11
  how you do it. It's it's what happens in your
• 4:14
  head. It's the pushing you can push
• 4:16
  through, but how well you push through, how much you torture
• 4:19
  yourself is what matters the most.
• 4:21
  So give yourself a break, cut yourself some slack.
• 4:24
  Develop your strategies that you can use to allow yourself to
• 4:28
  have those shifts peacefully and feel better about it.
• 4:31
  Because we're all going through it.
• 4:32
  Even me. All right, my friends, I hope
• 4:35
  you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 4:37
  Bye.
