  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So this morning we are talking about challenging our own
• 0:34
  beliefs. It's that time of the year.
• 0:36
  It is fall cleaning as my mother would say.
• 0:39
  Some of the gifts my mother gave me spring cleaning, fall
• 0:42
  cleaning, going through things and getting rid of stuff that
• 0:46
  didn't feel good in the house and before we go into the
• 0:50
  holidays, before we go into our. You know, this time of the year
• 0:55
  where it becomes so intense for some of us in good ways and some
• 1:01
  intense for bad ways. For me, it's always like, you
• 1:03
  know, the back to school mind frame of you're back in school.
• 1:08
  So I have a really high intensity frame of learning
• 1:11
  right now and I love, love, love to.
• 1:16
  Keep up with that. And that's a belief that I've
• 1:17
  challenged before because it's like, well, I keep saying to
• 1:21
  myself, I feel like I need to be learning something because I
• 1:24
  should be back in school right now because I loved school when
• 1:27
  I was a kid. When I was very little, I
• 1:29
  didn't. I loved school.
• 1:30
  I didn't like being in school, be very specific about that.
• 1:33
  But I loved learning. And so I've learned.
• 1:35
  I've challenged those beliefs. I've separated them and now I'm,
• 1:39
  I can say, wow, I really love this.
• 1:41
  So one of my favorite things, and this is not a paid plug to
• 1:44
  them, It's just that I absolutely love this Platform is
• 1:47
  master class. If nobody has ever taken master
• 1:50
  class before. masterclass.com group of very highly
• 1:55
  accomplished people, some of them famous, some of them not so
• 1:58
  famous. And they.
• 1:59
  Classes on there and they are amazing for inspiration.
• 2:04
  They are amazing for learning and when you dive into some of
• 2:07
  them and you can learn pretty much anything from anybody, it
• 2:09
  is the the the cooking ones are outstanding and I can't stress
• 2:15
  enough how much fun it is now That came about because I was
• 2:20
  challenging my beliefs up from the past about well.
• 2:25
  Do I always have to be learning something this time of year?
• 2:27
  It puts so much pressure on me to to be working, to be mom, to
• 2:31
  be doing all this. And yet I need to learn
• 2:33
  something. And it was driving me crazy.
• 2:35
  So I challenged it and I was like, no, this is a really good
• 2:38
  thing. I like this.
• 2:40
  I I think this is a good thing for me and I enjoy it.
• 2:43
  So now I don't argue with it and I go with it and it really makes
• 2:47
  a tremendous difference. It's rubbed off.
• 2:49
  On my husband now and it's rubbing off on my son and my
• 2:53
  daughter has it full, full blown.
• 2:55
  She's always doing the same thing I'm doing now.
• 2:58
  That's a positive outcome, but you still have to challenge the
• 3:01
  negative ones too. There are negative beliefs that
• 3:03
  we have to challenge. Like I can't tell you how many
• 3:05
  times I've heard people say things about well keeping
• 3:08
  chickens is hard or doing this is hard and you know farming is
• 3:13
  hard. How many people because be very
• 3:16
  clear that. When you get older and people
• 3:20
  know you're older, they start to say things to you about, Oh
• 3:23
  well, you need to slow down. You need to, like, not take on
• 3:27
  so much. And when we put this farm out
• 3:29
  here and was like, you know, now that you're getting older, don't
• 3:33
  you want to, like, take a break? Don't you want to just rest?
• 3:37
  Why would you want to be working on a farm?
• 3:39
  Why would you want to be doing all this work?
• 3:41
  Don't you just want to take a break?
• 3:43
  And the answer is, hell, no, I don't want to take a break.
• 3:46
  I absolutely love this. But.
• 3:48
  I had to challenge the belief of, oh, when you get older, you
• 3:51
  have to be set up to retire. Oh, you have to take time and
• 3:54
  just, you know, do this and that to me.
• 3:58
  While it sounds wonderful for some people, for me that sounds
• 4:01
  like a living hell. So challenging that belief,
• 4:05
  very, very important for me. I've joked around and I've said
• 4:08
  this before, but it really is kind of serious in my head.
• 4:11
  I grew up when the band Def Leppard was very, very popular
• 4:15
  and they had a song and a line in one of the songs was it's
• 4:19
  better to burn out than fade away.
• 4:20
  And I actually believe that. I do not plan on leaving this
• 4:24
  planet with anything left in me. I'm going to spend every bit of
• 4:28
  the creativity, the imagination, the connection, the teaching.
• 4:32
  I am leaving it. On the table.
• 4:34
  So I do not see myself, quote UN quote, winding down.
• 4:37
  I see myself getting more and more propelled forward, and that
• 4:42
  is exciting to me. That wakes me up.
• 4:45
  That gives me something. Creating a legacy, doing
• 4:47
  something that gives you a purpose and a reason to live.
• 4:51
  And you have to challenge your beliefs about what you want.
• 4:54
  And don't worry about what anybody else thinks.
• 4:56
  It's. Know what anybody else thinks?
• 4:58
  And I would be using the potty word if I didn't know who was
• 5:00
  listening in your car right now. So I'm telling you, it is
• 5:05
  absolutely imperative to your mental wellbeing to challenge
• 5:09
  your beliefs on a regular basis because it is like fall
• 5:12
  cleaning. My friends get in there and do
• 5:14
  it. Take out the ones that don't
• 5:15
  serve you. Tell the others, thank you.
• 5:18
  We're not believing that anymore.
• 5:19
  Thank you. That's something that we don't,
• 5:21
  you know, subscribe to anymore. You know, we always have
• 5:24
  subscriptions. We sign up for them.
• 5:26
  We try them out. And when they suck, we get rid
• 5:28
  of them. And then we have those like
• 5:30
  Master class where we say, wow, that was a really great
• 5:33
  subscription for the year. And you know what?
• 5:34
  I'm gonna do it again. And I have had it now I think
• 5:38
  three or four years, and I've never regretted having it, not
• 5:40
  once. So buy into something and enjoy
• 5:44
  the heck out of it. But buy into them, challenge
• 5:47
  your beliefs and go for it. Because I'll promise you it will
• 5:51
  make you a happier person. Have a blessed day, my friends,
• 5:55
  and I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
