• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So let's talk about our mindset.
• 0:34
  And the question is, are you always working on your mindset?
• 0:39
  And I guess it's probably not from the perspective of its
• 0:43
  mindset. We all know we have to have
• 0:45
  positive mindsets. We all know we are looking for,
• 0:49
  you know, that growth mindset. We're always trying to cultivate
• 0:52
  the better ones and we believe that.
• 0:54
  But when's the last time you actually sat down and said?
• 0:58
  OK, I need to check in with this.
• 0:59
  I need to say am I doing mindset work every day to better myself?
• 1:04
  To make myself become a more. Cultivated individual, if you
• 1:11
  will, and all the different mindsets I might have because we
• 1:15
  have different versions of it, you know we've got our creative
• 1:18
  mindsets. We've got our at least in my
• 1:20
  model of the world, that's the way I like to look at it.
• 1:22
  Now there are lots of different theories on mindset out there,
• 1:24
  but I'm like, OK, if you're if you you think about it, you've
• 1:27
  got your creative mindset and if you put that hat on and that
• 1:30
  comes with certain personas, you're going to show up a
• 1:32
  certain way or you've got your abundance mindset and you've
• 1:36
  got. Your entrepreneur mindset,
• 1:39
  they're all different ones that you can cultivate and work on.
• 1:42
  But the question is, how often do you work on even yourself?
• 1:47
  If you say, OK, I want to work on my, you know, being peaceful,
• 1:51
  I want to work on my spiritual mindset, I want to work on this
• 1:54
  piece of myself. How often do you pull that?
• 1:58
  Notebook out from your head and say, OK, let me do this, Let me
• 2:02
  focus on this. Is that something that is like
• 2:05
  going to the gym? If you work out every day, if
• 2:07
  you walk every day, if you do those things, are you working on
• 2:11
  it every day? And my guess is the answer is
• 2:14
  no, because I don't think we think of it that way.
• 2:17
  I don't think that we think of our mindset as something like
• 2:20
  that. That has to be worked on.
• 2:22
  We think it's like a general thing.
• 2:23
  We don't realize that it's very pliable.
• 2:25
  It's very shapable and we can. Work on them constantly.
• 2:31
  But we and we're not taught this.
• 2:32
  We just think, oh, you know, we've all heard from the the the
• 2:36
  idea of a growth mindset or a fixed mindset and then we kind
• 2:39
  of stick with that oh, I'm, I'm gross or I'm fixed.
• 2:43
  Most people don't like to believe they're fixed, but the
• 2:45
  truth is there are a fair amount of people who are fixed and
• 2:51
  understanding. That fixed mindsets just believe
• 2:55
  you can't change and growth mindsets in a nutshell is what
• 2:58
  it comes down to is that growth mindsets believe that you can
• 3:01
  change and that things happen all the time And we want to
• 3:04
  believe we can change. We want to believe that we are
• 3:07
  that pliable. We want to believe that the
• 3:09
  neuroplasticity of our brain does work for us and it does.
• 3:13
  That's the thing. We want to believe it, but we
• 3:15
  actually have to execute on it to make it happen so.
• 3:20
  And the part that's tricky about this is recognizing what part of
• 3:23
  your mindset do you want to work on it?
• 3:27
  And it all needs work. Let me be very clear about that.
• 3:29
  But what part do you want to work on?
• 3:32
  Is it the part to be brave? Is it the part to be, you know,
• 3:36
  saying to yourself, OK, I know my mindset is weak in this area.
• 3:39
  Every time it shows up, I feel like I contract.
• 3:43
  I kind of think of it in terms of expansion and contraction.
• 3:47
  And when you find you, you're hitting a point of contraction,
• 3:51
  that's usually a great point to remember.
• 3:54
  OK, this is something that I need to work on because if I'm
• 3:57
  contracting, if I'm pulling back, then that means there's
• 4:02
  something there that I need to pay attention to.
• 4:04
  It needs it means I need to look at that now.
• 4:07
  Not all contraction is bad. Sometimes you do need to pull
• 4:10
  back and you need to look and say OK, wait before I go any
• 4:12
  further, I need to see where I am.
• 4:14
  I see need to see what else I need.
• 4:17
  But remember, in the world of mindset, it's all about
• 4:22
  constantly cultivating the information and using it to
• 4:27
  better yourself and move yourself closer to the outcome
• 4:31
  you want for yourself. So if you kind of.
• 4:35
  Think of the fact that every day you wake up and you are just in
• 4:40
  a state. OK, let's say you wake up in the
• 4:42
  morning and you're just in a state, lying in your bed,
• 4:45
  getting ready to get up and all of a sudden, oh, listen to how
• 4:48
  loud those geese are. The girls all froze.
• 4:51
  You're you're all of a sudden you wake up and you're in a
• 4:53
  state you're not thinking immediately about.
• 4:57
  What mindset do I want to put on?
• 5:00
  Most likely you're going through, oh, what do I need to
• 5:03
  do? Am I on time?
• 5:03
  Am I late? Am I early?
• 5:05
  You know, what was that noise? Whatever it might be, it's right
• 5:09
  from that point, right from the time you enter into your
• 5:12
  consciousness again from sleep. That's the time you start to
• 5:16
  choose the mindset that you want to have.
• 5:18
  You start to look at it and that's the power in this, really
• 5:23
  working on it daily, but right from the very beginning.
• 5:27
  Just start there. Just start at your wake up
• 5:30
  point, Start on it and say, OK, what's the mindset I choose
• 5:34
  right now? To start my day, what's the
• 5:37
  mindset I want to get into right now?
• 5:40
  And that will be a powerful place to start your shifts.
• 5:43
  OK my friends, I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:45
  Bye.
