  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Poop. So today we are talking about
• 0:34
  the power of recognizing how you have to cut yourself a, you
• 0:39
  know, an opportunity in the next moment as opposed to waiting.
• 0:44
  Until the next day, this time of the year is so fundamentally
• 0:50
  critical. If you've set your goals, your
• 0:52
  intentions, you may have, you may have not.
• 0:54
  But if you said him and and then you blow it.
• 0:56
  What happens? Like do you, wait until the next
• 0:58
  day to fix it? No, no, no.
• 1:00
  No, you realize that the next moment you have another
• 1:03
  opportunity. Every moment is a new beginning,
• 1:07
  you know, there is a real power in this as opposed to telling
• 1:10
  yourself. I got to wait till the next day
• 1:13
  I've got to wait until, you know, I sleep, I've got to shake
• 1:16
  this off, I've got to do whatever.
• 1:17
  And then all of a sudden, I'll have my next do-over as opposed
• 1:21
  to just saying, hey, you know what, no, I've got a new moment.
• 1:24
  I can give, you know, give this an opportunity to restart itself
• 1:28
  in the next moment. So let's say you're at the
• 1:31
  office and they have the dreaded birthday party with the, you
• 1:35
  know, the cookies and the cakes and everything else.
• 1:38
  Every time I, you know, talk about this.
• 1:40
  I always think of Elaine from Seinfeld when she boycotted all
• 1:43
  the birthday parties and she got everybody so upset because she
• 1:47
  just didn't want all the birthday parties with all the
• 1:50
  cakes. Well, now the people are
• 1:51
  starting to go back into the office again, everybody's back
• 1:54
  at that. So what if you've made a
• 1:56
  declaration that you're going to be, you know, really healthy and
• 2:00
  you're going to be Not eating anything bad.
• 2:02
  And then all of a sudden you're in the office and there's the
• 2:04
  plate of doughnuts don't don't, don't or the cake comes by or
• 2:10
  somebody's puts out the container of Eminem's.
• 2:13
  That's the one that always used to get me.
• 2:16
  And you just see this giant container of Eminem sitting
• 2:19
  there and it's like they're just calling you, they beckon to be
• 2:22
  taken and it's so frustrating because you're fighting with
• 2:26
  yourself, you're having that internal argument about.
• 2:29
  Do I do it. Do I not do it.
• 2:30
  Do I do. What do I not do it?
• 2:32
  Well let's just say you do it. Okay let's say you give in and
• 2:35
  you do it. Do you have to wait until next
• 2:38
  day to decide that you're you know?
• 2:41
  Alright I can start over again right now.
• 2:43
  No. I mean you can do that start
• 2:45
  over again. Right in the moment, you don't
• 2:47
  have to wait till the next day and it may stop.
• 2:50
  You from continuing to eat the things you shouldn't or, you
• 2:54
  know, go further down the line like if you're at a party or you
• 2:57
  go out to dinner and you're like, you order the salad.
• 3:00
  Great. But then all of a sudden you
• 3:02
  know, everyone wants to go out for dessert and drinks.
• 3:04
  Well, now you've got a decision to make and you might be able to
• 3:07
  say okay well I'll go. I'm just not going to have the
• 3:11
  drinks. So what happens if you have a
• 3:12
  drink? All right.
• 3:14
  Have the drink. If you must, but don't have two
• 3:17
  drinks, have wondering and then start over again and don't beat
• 3:21
  yourself up for it. The beating yourself up is worse
• 3:24
  than anything else because as you've heard me say before the
• 3:28
  beatings will continue until morale improves.
• 3:30
  It rarely works, so just getting mad at yourself, getting
• 3:34
  frustrated with yourself hating yourself, you know that doesn't
• 3:38
  work long-term. All that does is cause more
• 3:40
  issues of anxiety, frustration, depression.
• 3:43
  And you just don't need that. That is definitely a no-go.
• 3:47
  So contemplate, how you want to handle this before?
• 3:52
  It actually comes up. This is one of those
• 3:54
  conversations about not lying to yourself.
• 3:56
  How will you handle it? What will you say?
• 3:58
  When will you do the do-over? How Quickly will you recover?
• 4:01
  These are all really important questions on top of the big
• 4:05
  question. About, who's driving in that
• 4:07
  moment is your Optimist or pessimist driving what emotion
• 4:11
  is clearly in charge and what is that emotion doing to you for
• 4:16
  you with you? You know you really have to keep
• 4:18
  track of this piece of it. Because this is when you know,
• 4:22
  your identity really wants to be clear and how you can make
• 4:27
  things happen when you choose to or make things get Worse when
• 4:31
  you choose to all because of that damn bus driver.
• 4:34
  So you know, that's the best way I can tell you to keep track of
• 4:39
  it is just check-in who's driving ask the right questions
• 4:42
  and then see, you know, am I set up to fail or my setup for
• 4:45
  something good? Like, you know, if you're in a
• 4:46
  bad mood and you're just like, frustrated with everybody and
• 4:49
  all of a sudden, everyone's asking you what to do, you're
• 4:50
  just gonna be like, I don't care whatever we do, it doesn't
• 4:52
  matter to me and you're going to take that with you into the
• 4:55
  choices. So that's why I'm saying, let's
• 4:58
  be really, really cognizant and Aware of this.
• 5:02
  And remember the next moment is a new beginning.
• 5:05
  So don't blow it, okay. I hope you guys have a fabulous
• 5:08
  day with all kinds of new moments to start over and I will
• 5:13
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
