• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning from my hotel room.
• 0:32
  Oh my gosh, Can you believe it? Not at the chicken coop this
• 0:35
  morning. Well, I happen to be in
• 0:37
  Minnesota and I happen to be very excited very early in the
• 0:42
  morning here, as you can probably hear by my voice.
• 0:45
  And I am attempting to learn how to use a Mr. Coffee Machine
• 0:50
  because I don't have one, and trying to figure out how I am
• 0:54
  going to make my LMNT drink, which is like a magnesium
• 1:01
  supplement drink that I have every morning, as nerdy as that
• 1:03
  is in a coffee machine. Anyway, it's always interesting
• 1:09
  to get into a hotel and try to get yourself settled in.
• 1:12
  And that's what I thought I'd talk about today because it's so
• 1:14
  funny to me how different the world is when you're not in your
• 1:18
  own bed, when you're out of your element, when you don't have
• 1:21
  your, your things around you and settling in.
• 1:25
  So I check in, I, my friend picks me up from the airport.
• 1:30
  I get, we have a 2 1/2 hour ride to the place where I am
• 1:35
  teaching. And it's so incredible because I
• 1:39
  had that time to spend with her that I never get to spend with
• 1:41
  her. It was so fantastic.
• 1:43
  And I get to be with her this whole week that I'm gone.
• 1:46
  And you know, we go to dinner and everything is fantastic.
• 1:50
  And then you come back to your room and you're by yourself, and
• 1:52
  it's not your room at your house.
• 1:54
  And you're trying to figure out, you know, how you want to settle
• 1:59
  in. And I've travelled all over this
• 2:01
  world, I mean, literally all over the world when I worked
• 2:04
  with Tony Robbins. And I'm used to hotel rooms, at
• 2:09
  least prior to COVID. And then, of course, you know,
• 2:12
  once that hit, no travel was happening anywhere and
• 2:16
  everything slowed down. And I got very used to being on
• 2:19
  the farm all the time. And officially, this is my first
• 2:22
  trip out teaching and not being on the, you know, the farm or
• 2:28
  with my family. And it was so fascinating
• 2:31
  because I came in the room and I was like, oh, wow, this is
• 2:34
  different. And there's no dog snoring in
• 2:37
  the corner because that many of you who follow me know Buford
• 2:40
  has a bulldog. So of course he snores.
• 2:42
  And I'm very used to hearing him at night in his dog bed.
• 2:44
  That's right at the end of my bed.
• 2:46
  And there is no Lucy little dog waking me up.
• 2:50
  And there is no sounds of the house or I can't hear the owls
• 2:54
  outside. And it was all very, very
• 2:57
  strange. And I realized I, as I weighed
• 3:00
  there thinking about, OK, need to sleep lots to do the next two
• 3:05
  days. And trying to put myself into
• 3:09
  that place of, OK, you got to go to sleep and felt like I was
• 3:13
  actually forcing the issue. And I figured, you know, this is
• 3:16
  such a great thing for me to recognize about how we force
• 3:19
  things instead of just laying there and take it, whatever is
• 3:21
  coming. Getting stressed about not
• 3:23
  sleeping does not help you sleep, right?
• 3:25
  We all know that. But yet every time we can't
• 3:27
  sleep, we look at the clock and we go, Oh no, I only have four
• 3:30
  more hours. I only have three more hours.
• 3:31
  And we know we're past it anyway, so what's the point in
• 3:34
  being stressed? So I laid there.
• 3:36
  I watched many episodes of the Gilmore Girls on my iPad and
• 3:41
  just kind of took it all in and said, you know what, I'm going
• 3:45
  to focus and meditate on this being an outstanding day
• 3:48
  tomorrow. About being effortless, of
• 3:50
  setting up my keynote, about setting up all the things that I
• 3:54
  need to and just enjoying being with my friends and being out
• 3:59
  here and being able to meet so many new people.
• 4:02
  It's a gift, but I had to rewire that in my head because I
• 4:06
  started down that train of I'm not sleeping, I'm not sleeping.
• 4:10
  And for my certainty, girl, that goes off the chart.
• 4:13
  So the lesson of the evening, take it all in.
• 4:18
  Don't judge it. Put judgement at the back of the
• 4:20
  bus, lie there, just try to relax in the best way you can
• 4:25
  and don't judge yourself for not really relaxing at the level you
• 4:28
  wish you were. But just chill out.
• 4:31
  Just take it back a moment. And I think if we showed up like
• 4:35
  that more in our lives, we'd be a lot more happy.
• 4:38
  So I'm going to do that again today.
• 4:40
  I'm going to go get ready for my show.
• 4:43
  I'm going to put this up so you all can hear it, and I will let
• 4:46
  you know how today goes tomorrow morning.
• 4:49
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 4:51
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
