• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so today is the last question for closing out the
• 0:35
  year and tomorrow, we start on planning, which is New Year's.
• 0:40
  Even my favorite time to do all this New Year's Eve, New Year's
• 0:43
  Day are all about planning planning planning for me.
• 0:45
  But today, we're talking about closing up.
• 0:47
  So the question of the day is, if you were able to make
• 0:51
  yourself one promise, if you choose to make yourself a
• 0:54
  promise for what you're going to take into this year with you,
• 0:59
  what would it be? What would your On this to
• 1:01
  yourself be. So sometimes I find that, you
• 1:06
  know, I've talked about this before, how we basically
• 1:09
  bullshit ourselves regularly and we do it.
• 1:12
  Well, we are so good at doing it and apparently Raven concurs
• 1:15
  with me on this one that it's so important to stop that process
• 1:20
  and say, hey if I promise something, do I keep my promises
• 1:23
  do I keep my promises and you're probably going to say of course
• 1:27
  I keep my promises but I'm going to say well if you do you keep
• 1:30
  your Isis to yourself is more important than anything like if
• 1:33
  you keep your promises to yourself, that's a that's a
• 1:36
  really big deal because then you can keep your promises to other
• 1:39
  people. But if you don't keep your
• 1:40
  promises to yourself then we really have an issue.
• 1:43
  So from my perspective, I look at this and I say I don't make
• 1:47
  promises to myself unless I'm certain, I'm going to keep them
• 1:50
  as a commitment as I would to anybody else like making an
• 1:53
  appointment with any of my clients to show up on time.
• 1:56
  Or to say, I'm going to speak at an event or anything else.
• 1:58
  If I say I'm going to do it, I do it.
• 2:00
  And it's the same thing here. The promise to me, though is a
• 2:04
  little bit different because it feels a little more sacred.
• 2:06
  It feels a little bit more like, hey, I am, I making something on
• 2:10
  On A Soulful level, rather than just a scheduling level.
• 2:15
  So, if I say, I'm going to promise myself, something, it's
• 2:19
  really a big thing for me. So I'm asking you this question
• 2:24
  because I really want you to think about the fact that you
• 2:27
  could essentially promise yourself anything.
• 2:30
  And you could have Essentially say, hey, I'm committed to doing
• 2:32
  this. But you have to be willing to
• 2:35
  keep the commitment. You have to be willing to keep
• 2:37
  the commitment. So my promise to myself this
• 2:40
  year is all about working out. Now, I am excellent because I
• 2:44
  promised myself years ago that I was going to get in lots and
• 2:49
  lots and lots of steps. At the time, the promise was
• 2:51
  made to lose weight because I didn't realize when I moved to
• 2:54
  the South that the food was so much different than it is up
• 2:58
  north and I gained weight didn't Is it had to lose the weight?
• 3:02
  And I started just simply doing it by walking just by walking
• 3:05
  while I was talking to my clients and it to fold had an
• 3:09
  effect for me one, I lost all the weight, too.
• 3:13
  I also was able to think a lot clearer, it, I laughed because I
• 3:16
  learned that, you know, Einstein did this and he walked
• 3:20
  everywhere all the time because he said he could think better
• 3:23
  when he was walking. But in the meantime, I went from
• 3:27
  doing 10,000 steps a day to an average about 20 Steps a day,
• 3:31
  which I still do every single day and I actually feel
• 3:35
  immensely better when I do that, I feel amazingly better when I
• 3:39
  do that every single day and sometimes I take the weekends
• 3:42
  off, but I believe this year, I haven't done my numbers yet.
• 3:46
  I'll Cal look on my Fitbit because I track them like crazy,
• 3:50
  I'll probably have over five and a half million steps for the
• 3:53
  year. I know that sounds insane but it
• 3:55
  was a promise and every year I try to beat my numbers a little
• 3:58
  bit and do a little bit better. We'll see where I come out this
• 4:01
  year, but in any event I made that promise and I've never
• 4:05
  added anything else into it. So this year, my promise is that
• 4:08
  I am going to get back into doing more exercise like
• 4:13
  weightlifting workout, kind of stuff, because as you get older,
• 4:17
  you need to have that. So there's that one and then
• 4:20
  there's one with balance because I think with balance you have,
• 4:23
  if you have balance and I don't mean like, oh, can I juggle ten
• 4:26
  thousand things in a day? I'm talking about physical
• 4:28
  balance where I could stand on one leg.
• 4:30
  A pelican or I can squat down and have my heels flat on the
• 4:36
  ground. Certain things are just
• 4:38
  important to your body as you get older and I washed my mom
• 4:42
  not be able to do any of those things.
• 4:45
  So it's my goal to just be able to do all of those things and
• 4:49
  it's it's a it's just becoming more and more and more of a
• 4:53
  passion for myself and that's why it's moved into the promise
• 4:57
  category for me. Like I promised my body, I'm
• 5:00
  going To do better for it this year.
• 5:02
  So with that being said, that's mine.
• 5:05
  Now you have to figure out what yours is and really understand
• 5:09
  after the debrief where your downfalls were.
• 5:11
  So that, you know, that was part of my downfall.
• 5:15
  I could see it in the year that I know.
• 5:17
  I have to bring that over, if that makes sense.
• 5:19
  So I'm going to challenge you to go off and figure out this.
• 5:22
  What do you promise yourself for this year coming up that you can
• 5:26
  delineate from this past year that, you know, you need to take
• 5:28
  care of do. I mean I Don't care what it
• 5:31
  could be anything could be like, I put all my passions aside, I
• 5:33
  don't knit, I don't cook. I don't read I don't do the
• 5:36
  things that I really love to do, so maybe that's it.
• 5:39
  I promised myself, I'm going to read 20 minutes a day, you know,
• 5:42
  whatever it might be, pour it on and really think about this
• 5:47
  really do these questions because in the final analysis
• 5:50
  just like the Buddha said, the problem is we think we have time
• 5:55
  one of my most favorite quotes from the Buddha.
• 5:58
  The problem is we think we have Have time.
• 6:01
  So we put stuff off, we put stuff off and we put stuff off.
• 6:04
  And then guess what? We run out of time.
• 6:06
  So while you have time get your heinie and gear get moving.
• 6:11
  I hope you have a very blessed day and I will see you all
• 6:14
  tomorrow for some New Year's Eve planning.
• 6:17
  I'll talk to you soon, I hope you have a very, very blessed
• 6:20
  day. Bye.
