  Good morning from the the very noisy Chicken Coop.
• 0:33
  They are all making noise today, it's chilly, maybe that's what's
• 0:38
  got them going? I'm not sure.
• 0:39
  Anyway, so today we are talking about hitting the reset button
• 0:44
  today. Is Sunday, when I'm recording
• 0:47
  this and I want, I want to point out how important hitting a
• 0:52
  reset button is so for me, when I was a kid, Sunday was
• 0:57
  definitely a day when everybody in my family.
• 1:00
  Kind of wild down. Everybody was in that, like
• 1:04
  relaxed mode. I can remember my mother sitting
• 1:07
  and doing her needlepoint. I can remember her crocheting,
• 1:11
  she cruciate a lot in the evenings anyway, but Sunday was
• 1:14
  a day, when she would definitely, we would go to get
• 1:18
  up, go to church, come home, and I would go to dinner with my
• 1:22
  grandmother and my grandfather at their house.
• 1:25
  My parents never went, I'm not sure why they're Dynamic.
• 1:29
  Was that way? My mother and father rarely went
• 1:33
  to my grandmother's to eat. I went all the time probably
• 1:35
  because my grandfather and my grandmother didn't get along
• 1:38
  with my dad, so that was a long-standing dynamic.
• 1:43
  Anyway, I would go and then I would come home.
• 1:47
  And even when I was there, my grandparents always took time to
• 1:50
  work on whatever they were working on for their Hobbies.
• 1:53
  I was always drawing and painting and doing things.
• 1:57
  I lose to love to paint my grandmother's nails and she
• 2:00
  would love For me to paint her nails, there was always time for
• 2:05
  that reading. I can remember sitting with my
• 2:07
  grandpa grandpa on his lap and reading and he would read
• 2:12
  stories to me that were far beyond my scope of reading on my
• 2:17
  own when I was very little, but he would read to me anyway, and
• 2:20
  tell me things and it was, it was so much fun and the whole
• 2:24
  hitting the reset button is the purpose of this.
• 2:27
  So, Sunday's were supposed to be a day where you actually Lee
• 2:31
  rested, right? It's in the Bible, it's in the
• 2:34
  Bible, people, but we have become so rigid with our
• 2:39
  schedules during the week. In our work schedules, that
• 2:42
  often Sunday's have become a day of chores to get caught up.
• 2:46
  Oh, I've got to run out, I've got to do all my chores today,
• 2:49
  I've got to, you know, maybe go to Costco, although it is one of
• 2:52
  my favorite places on the planet to go.
• 2:54
  I have to admit that it's, it may be a run there, it may be
• 2:58
  going to the grocery store and maybe dropping.
• 3:00
  Off, you know, things a cleaner, it may be doing sitting down and
• 3:06
  paying bills, you know, doing these things on a Sunday steals
• 3:12
  away the joy of taking the time to rest.
• 3:15
  It genuinely steals away the joy of taking the time to rest.
• 3:19
  And I think that as a society, we have become conditioned to no
• 3:24
  longer rest, we have become conditioned to just constantly
• 3:29
  be grinding it out. And that is not the way to have
• 3:32
  a healthy mind. It is certainly not the way to
• 3:35
  have a healthy body because it is programmed into us.
• 3:38
  I'll prove this to you right now.
• 3:40
  You sleep everyday. Well, hopefully, you sleep every
• 3:42
  day and that's the other part. Some of us are so stressed out.
• 3:44
  We don't even sleep every day because we can't set the reset
• 3:47
  button. So hitting that button and
• 3:51
  saying, nope, today is a day of nothingness.
• 3:53
  Today is a day of absolute. I get to do whatever I want day
• 3:58
  now for me, my chickens. Huge reset.
• 4:02
  Now you might say, well, you have to care for them.
• 4:04
  You have to go out there. You have to do this, yes, but I
• 4:06
  get joy from this. I absolutely have the utmost of
• 4:10
  the pleasure and coming out. I don't have to care for them.
• 4:13
  I want to care for them. I have complete joy in watching
• 4:18
  them and taking care of them and doing things for them.
• 4:21
  They make me happy. So, I don't get to Garden.
• 4:26
  I mean, I don't have to Garden, I get to Garden, you know, it's
• 4:29
  one of those things that I love so much.
• 4:30
  Much. I get to do this and it's so
• 4:34
  much fun. I love watching flowers.
• 4:38
  Come up from nothing. The thought of seeds brings me
• 4:41
  so much joy. I could sit forever and plan out
• 4:44
  my garden is that work? No, is working in my garden
• 4:47
  work. No.
• 4:48
  Not the traditional kind of work even with my clients.
• 4:52
  I've really cultivated it. So I love my clients so much
• 4:56
  that I don't mind talking to them, they are not work to me.
• 5:00
  They are part of my world, it's part of my gifts.
• 5:05
  I don't have a stressor around it so at the end of the week
• 5:10
  it's it's a little bit easier. When you look back and you say,
• 5:14
  when you cultivated things like this, you can look back and say
• 5:17
  well my week wasn't really work, my week was all about you know,
• 5:21
  adding that value to life in general that I have.
• 5:24
  And that's what's so fun. If you're not at that point yet
• 5:28
  I encourage you to work towards that.
• 5:30
  Look for the things that you can do during the week and turn them
• 5:33
  into the, I get to, instead of I have to.
• 5:37
  And then for the weekends hitting these reset buttons.
• 5:40
  Oh, so important. If you don't make the time to do
• 5:44
  it, nobody will give you the time to do it.
• 5:47
  So, I will tell you this, the most important aspect of this,
• 5:51
  that you could do is try to find these little things every day.
• 5:54
  It's just like me out here every morning with you.
• 5:57
  This is a reset button for me. Imagine what this does for me.
• 6:00
  They doing this with them for you everyday.
• 6:05
  It plugs me in every day, I started off.
• 6:07
  Not to mention. I have my own little rituals
• 6:09
  that I do that. Help me do that.
• 6:11
  So it's critically important that you work on this.
• 6:14
  Hitting the reset button as many times as you can, but on Sundays
• 6:19
  really do it power down force yourself to take a break.
• 6:23
  I promise you'll feel better. And if you look at your schedule
• 6:26
  and you say okay, where can I do this?
• 6:28
  Instead, you'll always find those little places that you You
• 6:30
  can like, often. I will say, okay, on a Thursday
• 6:33
  night after I finish with clients, I will run and I will
• 6:36
  do those chores of grocery shopping and Costco so that I
• 6:39
  have clear days and I might not always like doing it in the
• 6:42
  moment because I'm like, oh, I'm tired, but I will always feel
• 6:46
  better about it the next day. So I hope you guys have a
• 6:49
  blessed day and a relaxed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:52
  Bye. You can like, often.
• 6:31
  I will say, okay, on a Thursday night after I finish with
• 6:35
  clients, I will run and I will do those chores of grocery
• 6:38
  shopping and Costco so that I have clear days and I might not
• 6:41
  always like doing it in the moment because I'm like, oh, I'm
• 6:44
  tired, but I will always feel better about it the next day.
• 6:48
  So I hope you guys have a blessed day and a relaxed day
• 6:51
