• 0:19

• 0:22
  along with all her chickens. Hey
• 0:28
  everybody, good morning from the Chicken Coop. Today
• 0:31
  I would like to talk to you about the power of
• 0:34
  belief. So big subject, obviously, to
• 0:38
  take on in our short time just this morning. So
• 0:41
  it will be a repeated one that we go to. However,
• 0:44
  today I want to talk to you about understanding what
• 0:49
  that power of belief does for you because it takes
• 0:53
  place, whether you understand it or not, it's
• 0:55
  always happening. So that's the beautiful part
• 0:58
  of growth in your awareness is that whether or not you
• 1:04
  believe something to be true doesn't eliminate the
• 1:09
  fact that it's having an effect on you. And
• 1:12
  our power of belief is such a powerful one. And
• 1:17
  if I had to kind of condense down everything I
• 1:20
  know about coaching and moving people forward and
• 1:24
  practical psychology and all that good stuff, I would
• 1:31
  tell you that what you believe is the most
• 1:35
  important thing. So if you believe something to
• 1:37
  be true, it's going to have the most effect on
• 1:39
  you because the way we speak to ourselves, the
• 1:43
  things that we tell ourselves are the things
• 1:46
  that have more effect on us than anything else ever
• 1:49
  could because we believe ourselves to be true. And
• 1:52
  that in itself is a major factor in getting healthy
• 1:59
  and moving yourself forward is to understand what do I
• 2:02
  believe. And the power of belief is so
• 2:05
  great and so dominant that we have to consider what
• 2:10
  exactly we are believing. And
• 2:11
  most of us don't check in with this. We
• 2:12
  don't ask, well, what do I believe about this? So
• 2:15
  you know, today I want to start this off with you by
• 2:19
  kind of diving into what do you believe about
• 2:22
  yourself? Do you believe that you're
• 2:24
  resourceful? Do you believe that by nature
• 2:27
  you're a happy person? Do you believe that bad things
• 2:31
  come your way? Do you believe that you have
• 2:33
  a curse on you and that you have a cloud over your
• 2:36
  head and things just happen to you? What
• 2:38
  do you believe, core about yourself? I
• 2:44
  have a very core belief that I am very resourceful
• 2:47
  and that I can always come up with alternatives. And
• 2:51
  that's just part of how I was hardwired from my
• 2:55
  father as a child that like, listen, you can
• 2:58
  always make things happen. There's
• 2:59
  always a solution. You can always change your
• 3:02
  mind. You can always go in a
• 3:04
  different direction. And it was a grand gift that
• 3:07
  I got from him to believe that way. Now,
• 3:09
  I had the other experience of my mother who believed
• 3:13
  that, you know, oh, that's just the way it is.
• 3:15
  Everything sucks. You
• 3:17
  know, it's never a good. People
• 3:19
  are awful. And having that dichotomy, that
• 3:23
  just that total opposites in my life really helped
• 3:29
  me to understand for my business and for coaching
• 3:32
  just how it can be so detrimental when you don't
• 3:38
  understand what your beliefs are because they take over.
• 3:41
  And if you start always seeing
• 3:43
  things as negative, if you start always seeing things
• 3:47
  one way, that is not a way to help you move
• 3:50
  yourself forward. So again, coaching is all
• 3:54
  about moving forward. Coaching
• 3:56
  is about seeing where you are and going from where
• 3:58
  you are to where you want to be and the fewest
• 4:01
  number of steps possible and helping yourself out
• 4:04
  the best you can. So I'm going to challenge you
• 4:07
  to go off and figure out some of your beliefs
• 4:11
  because I think that that's going to help you the
• 4:14
  most, the quickest and get you from point A to point
• 4:18
  B, the quickest. So again, this is a very big
• 4:22
  subject. So I'm going to just say
• 4:24
  today, start thinking about what do you believe in
• 4:29
  general, not about the world. Don't
• 4:31
  go external. Just go internal. What
• 4:34
  do you believe about you? What
• 4:37
  are the core things that you know are true about
• 4:41
  you? And again, be honest with
• 4:44
  yourself. I know I've said that on
• 4:45
  other podcasts. I want to make sure that
• 4:49
  everyone gets it. You have got to be honest with
• 4:52
  yourself. Honesty is the best policy always
• 4:55
  with yourself because if you're not honest with
• 4:57
  yourself, you're never going to get the answers that
• 5:00
  will help you move yourself forward. You'll
• 5:02
  just keep staying in an unresourceable state. So
• 5:04
  ask yourself these questions, start to figure
• 5:07
  them out. And then from that point, you
• 5:11
  can say, well, is this something now that I know
• 5:14
  this, is this something I want to keep or is it
• 5:15
  something I want to get rid of? If
• 5:17
  you, you know, there were things, there were times
• 5:19
  where I was so afraid I would never have gotten on
• 5:22
  and created a podcast. Never.
• 5:24
  And I just would have stayed by myself because I
• 5:27
  have a tendency to go to that introverted side. And
• 5:31
  when I recognized that that was what I believed about
• 5:33
  myself, I was like, no, I want to be able to help
• 5:36
  more people. So this is what I'm going to
• 5:37
  do. And once you recognize
• 5:39
  something, you can shift it. So
• 5:41
  let's start with that, start looking at it and
• 5:44
  then make the decisions for each one of those. Is
• 5:46
  this something you like? Is it something you want to
• 5:48
  keep? Or is it something you want
• 5:49
  to change and transform? Okay,
• 5:52
  I will talk to you soon. Bye.
