Episode #338: Too Many Ideas, Not Enough Time · Tea Time w/Amie & Bev

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hi everybody, welcome to Tea Time with Amy and Bev. Hola.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hola, good day.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Hola, good day. How's life? What's lifing right now? Life
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is lifing.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Life is lifing. There's like lots of deep stuff that
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I guess I contemplate a lot of times, but I'm
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: doing a bunch of different things. I'm creating something for
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: kids currently. And it's got like affirmations and dragons and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the pen name will be Grandma Bumblebee. So that's fun too.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Cause that's what I'm called from my little grands. So
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that's been a lot of fun and it's been really
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: time consuming. So it's, I like the creative processes and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: then it's, we can just take that little bit of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: information and recognize I was noticing that What would happen
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to me is I would start getting all this like
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: energy flowing through me, this creativity, and I would get
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: all excited, all excited. And I didn't know what to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: do with this. And it's like at that moment, all
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: this information is like flooding into me. I'm like getting
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: so much. And I know we've talked about this, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I've never had this experience. I've never had that like
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I'm in that passion place. And it's like it kind
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of I don't I don't know what to do with it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And then I got to the place of overwhelm. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: then when I get to overwhelm, it's a shutdown because
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else to do with all the stuff.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And then for me, when I get to a shutdown,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it's out doing yard work, it's out doing something, moving something,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: which is probably moving stuff with inside of me. But
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's amazing that feeling good sends up flags like, oh shit,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Bev probably shouldn't be feeling good right now because that
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: means she's probably not being a good listener. She's probably
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: doing her own thing. She's probably, you know, I can
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: just see myself as that kid and trying to be
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: all serious. You got to be serious. And all these things,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: all these emotions have happened. So it's like I've been
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: kind of trying to work through that. But at the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: same time, I don't want to kill the passion part.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And that's a fear of mine. Like I'm going to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: kill that passion because now it's gotten to a heightened
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: state and I don't know what to do with it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And it's wild. And I know that we can ask
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: for things to slow down. but I'll get so many
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: good ideas. It's like, oh God, oh, I want to
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: go this direction, this direction. It just feels so good.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And then I end up not feeling so good afterwards.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It's almost like I've gone through that whole process of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: being the child with the parent and went through that
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: whole excitement where someone kind of dragged you down a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: little bit and that's passing blame, but that's kind of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: been the programming. So then the programming was like, oh God,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: if we're up here, we got to bring ourselves down here.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Some people might call that bipolar. Other people might just
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: call it, we got a lot of emotions. We still
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: got to process and handle at the time. So I'm
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in the midst of that stuff these days.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Which direction am I going to get?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But it feels, but it feels right. And that's the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: whole thing because it feels so good. I don't know
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: what to do with it because that's not been my
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: whole experience. Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: This is probably gonna be along the same lines. Um,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: if it goes in a different direction, you know, you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: can steer me back and say, that's not quite what
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I was talking about. Um, but there are times when, uh,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I get, I get something similar. I get a lot of, uh,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: information coming at me and I, I do my best
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to at least, uh, write it down or put it
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in my calendar. So I use my calendar. Um, there's a,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: there's a, uh, tab is called tasks. Um, and I just,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much a to-do list for me. Um, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: when I get an idea, I'll put it in there
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and at least I've made note of it. So don't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: forget it. So I can always come back to it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and be expand on it. If I want to, I can, um,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I can give more time and energy and attention to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it if I want to. And it's an opportunity for
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: us where we acknowledge we are connected to source, where
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: all this information is coming to us because we are
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: creative beings. We just recently had this conversation about we
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: are creative beings. And when we open up that channel
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to be creative, and maybe sometimes you don't even think
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you're opening up that channel. It just comes, right? It
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just like flows right in. You're like, Whoa, what just happened? Um,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that the creativity flows, creative ideas flow to us, but
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: what we do with that information is up to us. And,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and yes, uh, it could be in different topics, um,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So then like for me, for example, I have to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: decide where I want to put my time and energy.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I get a lot of great ideas, but it's like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: what needs my attention right now? And is this something
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that this information is coming to me, but I can
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: look at it later. And that's why I put it
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on my either write it down like in a notebook
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: or I put it on If I don't have a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: notebook with me, I definitely will put it in my phone,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in my tasks. So I have so many things listed
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in my phone that all would be beneficial for what
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I do. But sometimes some of the things I write down,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: there's a learning curve. And it's like, well, do I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: actually have the capacity right now to learn what I
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: need to learn to do this? And how much of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that time is going to be taken away from what
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I actually need to get done right now? So I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: have a lot of discernment in my time with all
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of these ideas, but I also don't discount them because
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it might be something I could definitely use later.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And I do the same. I use my phone, especially
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: if I'm driving and I start getting ideas. I've always
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: got notebooks, like notebooks are, I mean, they're everywhere. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I do write down a lot of this stuff because
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it's like, it's a lot of information, but for me,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it's like dealing with the emotional part of it and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: then not talking myself away from it because it feels
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: good and it's all right for it to feel good.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And it's like, I think there's a little bit of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a fear that something could be taken away, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: when I'm in that space too. So you're going along
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: with it. You weren't off topic at all, really. You're
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: right on it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Cause it can be all that information can be overwhelming
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: because it just flows so easily. And if you're not
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in a space where you're comfortable with that, it can
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: be overwhelming. And, and like you were using the example that,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that there's so much comes and then I get overwhelmed
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and then I shut down and I go do something
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: else completely different just to separate from that feeling of overwhelm. Um,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I resonate with that as well. That used to be
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: my MO. I now have to be very cognizant of
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: when I feel that coming up in my body, that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: sense of overwhelm coming up in my body. And I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: just got to take a moment and go, okay, what's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: going on? Now I'm starting to be inquisitive about myself.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: What is it about this that I'm actually feeling like
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I'm being overwhelmed? And then, you know, and you can
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: sift through that and see what actually is coming up
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and what's those underlying stories. But I had one of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: my mentors who said at one time several years ago,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: she said, a lot of times overwhelm is all the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: things you've been asking for showing, not all, but, you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a chunk of things showing up. And you're just feel
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: like you can't keep up with it. And I was like, OK,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I definitely need to be writing this stuff down somewhere,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: taking note of it somewhere so I can catch up
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to what is coming to me. So I thought that
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: was a great perspective to embrace.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. And then what's coming up for
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: me as we're having the conversation that's like I'm hearing
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: is I'm trying to control things. I'm not allowing the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: flow of things. And it's because I've got a flow
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of energy that's flowing into me and I'm just getting
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: used to what that energy flows like. So I don't
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: have to panic and shut it down. And because a
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: lot of us do that, I feel like. And another thing,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: when I start going into meditation, I've noticed lately that
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I might start feeling nauseated or I might start feeling
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: all these emotional, not necessarily emotionally, all these energies that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: are kind of flowing. And it's kind of almost like
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it's acclimating me to a different energy flow. Yeah. So
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just recognizing that. So then it's then for that
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: part of it, then for me, what I can see
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: me doing is, is I'll still do the notebooks and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, but taking the time to breathe in
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: that space and to enjoy that space to kind of,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: you know, feed it, don't kind of shut it down,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: but be in the flow with it. Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Cause another part of that is, you know, we've also had,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: have had these conversations where, when when we were in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: our childhood, some of our childhood, we didn't get to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: live because we had to be the adult at a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: very young age. Um, or there was so much going
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on that, that we just did not have the space
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to be a child and enjoy childhood. Um, and yeah.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: We have recently been having conversations about being creative and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: being creative beings. And now it's like putting that message
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to the universe, like, okay, I'm ready to be creative.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And the universe says, great, let's be creative. And then
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: all this information flows in those moments where you're driving
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: or taking a shower or a bath or even doing
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: yard work. And all this information starts coming. And then
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you're just like, what is happening right now? This is
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: way too much information. This actually happened to me when
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I first started this journey of learning about spirituality and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: past lives and hypnosis and auras and chakras. And I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: was so enthralled in these topics. And I was just
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: soaking in all the information I could. And at that time,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it was mainly books. And I had so many books
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to read. And then I would see people and they're like,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, um, I think you'd like this book.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And so somebody else would give me a book and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: they just kept the books were piling up. And I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: said to the universe, I'm like, okay, listen, universe. I know.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I said, I want to learn this stuff, but I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: can't read this fast. I didn't, I didn't take a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: speed reading class. So I got to read every word
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: so I can take it all in. Um, And the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: information was just coming to me so rapidly. And I,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and I did, I'm sure at some point in that
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: time that it was coming to me so quickly and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I was so interested in it, but because it was
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: coming so fast, like just shut down and put it
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: all aside for a little while. I just can't take it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It's too much for me. Right. Um, so similar, um,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So it is, you know, we do need to be
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: aware that it's not just our creativity. It's other aspects
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of our life that once we put that out to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the universe that, okay, I'm ready for this. They're like, okay,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you better be ready because it's coming, right? So you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: can't tell the universe, listen, slow down a little sister
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: because I can only handle so much. I'm still human here.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Or I'll show us how to be able to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: assimilate all that. Some of the things I've heard a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: couple people say, and I don't know where it came
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: from exactly, but if you sleep with a book underneath
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: your pillow, you actually don't. You're like downloading the information. Well,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you think about it. You're laying on that energy of
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: that book, of that writer, of that whatever it was. So,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: of course, if you're going to put something underneath your pillow,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: maybe not Stephen King. I'm just saying. Right, right, right. Yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: maybe Dolores Cannon. Maybe... God, there's probably Sue Hayes. Is
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it Sue? Sue Hayes? What's her?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Louise Hay.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Louise Hayes.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Wayne Dyer.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, for sure. Those are the ones that those
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: are the things you probably want to put underneath your pillow.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But there is ways for us to do that. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: then it's like setting ourselves up. Right. If we just
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: play with this more, you're helping me to see like, OK, well,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: instead I could just say, OK, universe, if this is
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the kind of information you want to download so fast
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: to me, how can I assimilate that? at the same speed?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: How can I process that? How can I bring into
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: creation all these things that you're giving to me in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: one moment? Like, how is that possible? Because from this perspective,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: from the training that I've received, it's not a possibility,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: but in my mind, in my body, I know that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: everything is possible. Well then show me. Cause it's like,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I don't fricking know.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: It's just like, they talk about the people that you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: hang around. That's, that's, that's where the energy you're going to,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you're going to be like resonating with. You're going to,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to even find the right words. Resonate probably
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be, you're going to like tune into,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you're going to now be the metronome too. You're going
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: to be in balance with that information that's coming to you.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: So it's like, are you celebrating and being around people
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: that are happy and have good information that feels good
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: to you, that feels uplifting to you, that feels as
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: excited as I am about creating the things that I'm creating?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Are those the people that I'm hanging around with? And
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: if I'm not, then it's an asking. OK, universe, I'm
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: ready to be around or be in the general vicinity
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: of whether it's a YouTube, a person that I'm talking
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: to on the phone and at the grocery store, whatever.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Or is it a book? Is it or is it
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: just me sitting quietly with the information flowing in? And
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: it's us. We have to listen to. We have all
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: this asking and stuff, but we also have to listen to,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you know, for the information so that we can assimilate it,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: so we can process it, so we can see what
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: we want to do with it. And it's also realizing
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: we were raised by doers. And sometimes that sitting quietly
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't feel right to doers. And so it's learning how
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to not be the doer. And I heard that recently, too.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I think it was a Dolores Cannon thing. She talked
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: about that, you know, especially for our age group when
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: we came in, we're actually like generators and stuff. We're creators.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: We're not doers. We're not supposed to be out there
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: doing all this thing. And so from that perspective, that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: puts us in a distractive place. It's distraction from what
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: we actually intended to do when we came here. It's
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a habit. We're stepping back onto the routine.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And well, even doers in a generation fashion is our
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: ancestors were doing things to survive. So they had to keep,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know, finding where the employment was, where the money's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: going to come from so they could pay for their
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: necessities and raising their families. And then, you know, maybe
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: before that was the ranching industry or the farming industry
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: where that's what the families did and they were doers
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and there's always something to be done on a ranch
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: or a farm and it's not okay to sit around.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: And so, you know, Before electricity, we had to wash
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: our hands or clothes by hand. And, you know, there
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: was a lot of things that needed to be done
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: on a regular basis. So there is no room for
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you to be just sitting because there is a lot
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to still be done. So when you think about doers,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying as far as, you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: our energetic spiritual being is coming here to such a
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: time as this for generating energy. the ideas maybe are
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: holding the space of the things that could be created
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to help us in humanity and to expand and grow.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And when we think about it from the human's perspective
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of the doers, there's just generations that it was not
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: okay to sit around. And this is where we got,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you know, where it was ingrained to us to, even
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: if you have the sniffles or cold, you keep working.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: That's not an excuse. You keep going. And so there
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: was no no um uh space for us to actually
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: nurture ourselves unless we had a fever and we're down
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and out that at that point then yep okay well
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: all right we'll we'll see maybe you need to get
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: some rest because you're about ready to die.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah never mind that we probably needed some personal days
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: when we were kids right and just like it's like
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: adults and and we're learning that Sometimes when we just
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: need that personally, we just take the personally, you just
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: have to, or else the universe creates it for you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And that's been my experience lately. It's like, no, we're
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: going to give you a little bit of time here.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: So you have time to do this. What we're, what
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: we're creating together. So it's, it's, and it's, I could
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: look at it like, oh my God, what am I
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: going to do? This is what's happening. Or I can
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: look at it like, okay, exactly how I am. The
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: universe is creating more time and space for me to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: be able to create because it's fun.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and look at it. Here's all the ideas. Pick one.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It's like opening a menu, right? When you go to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the store or go to the restaurant, you open the menu.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Here's our whole list of things you can order. And
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that's not all of it. Like grilled onion, there's raw onions,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: but grilled onions may not be on the menu, but
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: they'll do it if you ask, right? So here's the menu.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Pick one.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: So... I know there's a couple of restaurants I go
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to and I open the menu. I'm just like, Oh
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: my gosh, this is, this is too much. It's way
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: too much. It's it actually, a menu will overwhelm me
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and it might be because I'm hungry and I don't
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: know what I want and everything sounds good or there's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: too much to choose from. Like some days the simplicity
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of going to, um, you know, the famous burger joint
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: where that's all they serve. Burgers, drinks, fries, and shakes.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: That's it. Then there's the secret menu. If you know
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Right. But then there's the, the restaurant that serves their
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: wonderful cheesecakes that they have like a four page menu,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: ginormous menu. And that's the one that gets me every
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: time I sit down and I look at that. It's like, wow,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: we'll just start with cheesecake. We're just gonna start there.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I'll just I like that. I like that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I was eat that and then think about what I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: want for dinner.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So overwhelm, we do have to be very cognizant of
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that and how it makes us feel that you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: your finances can overwhelm you, your Your health can overwhelm you.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Relationships can overwhelm you. But it's really tuning into what
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: is that overwhelm actually saying? If we were actually to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: give it a voice, what is it actually telling us?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And so one other good thing, a good way to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: do that is get a pen and paper and say, okay, body,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: what is this overwhelming sensation telling me? And let the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: body send the message to you through it of what
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: that is. And just sit with it and see what
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: comes up. Sometimes the overwhelm is I can't get it
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: all done. And if I don't get it all done,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get in trouble. And if I get
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: in trouble, then I'm not good enough.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Not perfect.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So it's like really taking a look at that. And
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: there are times I'm a lot better about it now.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Because overwhelm will also create us to procrastinate, which is
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the shutdown, put it to the side, come to it later.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Then later when you come back to it, you're like, what?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: What was this? I don't remember. Like the whole creative
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: flow is gone. So you're not even in tune with it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And then at that point, you just set it aside,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: maybe come back to it another time. But overwhelm will
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: make us procrastinate. And then also procrastination is a form
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: of control. And it's you're controlling when you're going to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: do it. Whether it's now or later, it doesn't matter.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But the procrastination is just, it's too much. I'm overwhelmed
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: by it. I don't want to touch it right now.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do it later. But every time you go
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to do it, then you distract yourself with something else.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Because the overwhelm is so intense a lot of times
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: that now you're at a hard deadline. Like prime example,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of people do this with their taxes. Deadlines
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: next week and they overwhelm the CPAs with all their stuff, right?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: With all their receipts in a box. And so... Even
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: in my own life, if I start to feel like
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: it's too much, I will take a step back and go, okay.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: My go-to is make a list of the things I have.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I will take the tasks out of my phone and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I will put it in a notebook and I just
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: list them all out. And then I start with the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: top three things that need my attention. And I put
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a one, two, and three. Which one am I going
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to do first, second, third? Get those done. Then what's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the next three? And I just use that process to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: keep me focused. Works quite well for myself.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I like that. No, you've had some good ideas. I've
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: written them down. I've written them down. And it's also, remember,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: when I get into that space, even before I start
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: to do the creativity, just take the breaths. Because otherwise
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I might be leaving off or signing back on where
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I left off the last time. And I don't want
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to do that. I want to start fresh and new
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: with when I come into that moment instead of where
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I left off because I might have left off with overwhelm.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: And so that right there kind of kills the momentum
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: of the creativity, the fun. And so if I can
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: take the time to just take some breaths before, to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: meditate maybe for five minutes, to maybe walk around the
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: house a couple of times, you know, outside and then
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: come back inside and sit without having to be gone
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: with it for so long. And then setting my intentions
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: prior to, it's like this whole process. And I think
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: that sometimes it connects so easily that we want to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: connect that easily every time. But sometimes I'm not in
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the same space to sit down and receive that information.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So it is setting myself up for the information, just
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: like we would set ourselves up for the next day
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: or set ourselves up when we go to sleep at night.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: There are so many different ways that we can be
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: processing the information that we're sharing right now. And then
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: it's like, you've got to implement it. You don't have to,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: but you can implement it and then use the bits
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and pieces that do work for you, for each person,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: not for you, obviously, because, but for everybody that's listening
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to this, because there's so much, it's like, I've got
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: all this knowledge and information with inside of me and
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I can connect to, but it's also good for me
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to hear the way you, your processes on it and
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: how you would like to approach it or how you
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: have approached it. Cause that gives me some different ideas.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'll tell you, when I have a page
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of to-dos, that's what we're, and I just look at
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: it and go, oh my God, I got to get
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: all this done.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: No, I don't.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: No, you don't.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: You got a lot of stuff on your books.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. But there are some things that I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: can get my attention to right now and get it done.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: And a lot of times when we get those, especially
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the bigger tasks that, can create us to feel overwhelmed
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and put it off. Once we get those done, how
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: good we feel and excited that it is complete. And
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: then the next few tasks are like, boom, boom, boom, done.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So sometimes, and I've heard other teachers say this, it's like,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: take the biggest thing and get it done first. Just
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: get it done. Because then all the other things after that,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: it's going to be super simple. And it'll go by quickly.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: So it's those bigger tasks that are sitting there that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: are really bothering you. And it's in the back of
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: your mind. It's just the little naggy voice, right? I'm
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: still here. You're not done with me. I still need
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to be completed. When are you going to give me
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: some attention? It just gets continuous. And that's annoying also.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And there's times that things like that come up for me.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, all right, I just clear the space.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I don't care what else is on my plate. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: got to get this done because once I'm done with this,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you'll stop nagging me. It's my own little voice in
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: there is doing it. So stop nagging myself. So, so
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes those bigger tasks, it's more important to get those done,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: even though it can be, can seem so big.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, friends, overwhelm, pay attention, listen to your
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: body and let your body speak from a space of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: what that actually is meaning to you. And just kind
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of sit with it and sift through it. Because when
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you have the self-awareness around it and take the time
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to tune into what the message actually is, then when
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: it shows up again, you'll be on top of it
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: quicker and and recognize, oh, this is just that old
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: story of the I'm not good enough, because I didn't
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: get it done. Or I can't get it done. And
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: give yourself some ease and grace, but also use the tips, tricks,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: tactics that we've shared. Or maybe you learned something else
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to use some other tool to use to help you
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: prioritize and stay focused and get some things done. So
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: So you feel that sense of accomplishment and feel good
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that it has been completed instead of just keep beating
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: yourself up because it's not. That's no fun.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So the journey, right? That would be my thoughts
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: for today. It's for us to enjoy that journey. That's
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: for me. And it's for all of us. But it's
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: for to enjoy the journey to get there. It's not
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the you start right here and then it's completed. It's like,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: that's what I've forgotten. just to enjoy the journey to
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: get to that point. Cause it's been fun. It's actually
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: opening up this, my kid was inside of me, welcoming
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: my inner child back inside. Let's play, let's do this stuff.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Cause that's who I call upon when I'm sitting with
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: her also. I got my picture here of myself as
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: a child and I'm like looking at myself and I'm like, okay,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: how do you want to, how do you want to
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: play today? How do you want to show up? What
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: kind of information are you going to have? And I'm
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: writing down so much information as we're having this conversation
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: because there's, because there's a flow. Because the dam has
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: been removed. Yeah.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And I will say, for me, 100% of the time,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it's not about the completion. It is about the journey.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: It's about the joy of the creativity along the way.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And an actor is a prime example, or an author
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: is a prime example. They got the award, now what? Well,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: now they need to figure out What's going to fulfill
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: them next? They did the journey to get the award.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: They did the journey to get the book. The book's
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: a bestseller. Great. Now what? Well, now I can take
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that book and create a workbook. I can take that
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: book and promote it for group coaching. I can take that, right?
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Now there's another journey beginning. So now the book's completed.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Now what journey am I going to go on with
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the book from this point forward if I do a
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: journey with that book? Maybe it's creating another book or
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: something else over here on my to-do list, right? It's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: always about the journey to the completion. It's never about
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the completion. 100%. Because we are creative beings and we
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: want to be in a creative mode. So once something
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is completed, your brain, your body will say automatically, what's next?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And you will start filling that time that you had
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: being creative to create something else.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And so my question would be, universe, what do we
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: want to create next? That's what I'm writing down now. Yeah.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And be careful with that.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Just saying. Yeah.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, you want to go sister? Let's go.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: We have a list for you.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: But that's the fun of the journey because we don't have,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: we don't have all the remembering or all the knowledge
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: of how do we stop? How do we control this?
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: How do we do all this stuff? And so that's
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the journey. It's too, how boring would it be is
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: if we, if we accomplish, we have this idea and
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: it's accomplished just like that. I mean, I say that
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: could be boring, but it could be fun because we
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: could keep creating continually like that. But it's that part
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: in between of all the knowledge and information that we
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: gained from doing that. My example would be, I'm talking
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: to my grandson because I'm showing him the stuff that
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I'm creating and I want his feedback. And I said,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: thank you for your feedback. And then I looked at
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: him and I said, do you know what feedback is?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: And he says, I don't. And I said, so then
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I explained it to him what feedback was and what
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: he was giving me. I said, you're giving me more
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: information by telling me what you like and you don't like,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: which he liked all of it so that I can
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: do things differently. He's like, I like the wording that
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: you use in here. I like the messages you're getting.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: We're talking about a nine-year-old, but we underestimate. And so
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: it's an opportunity for me to learn, but that's part
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: of the journey. That's the whole fun of the whole journey.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Cause it's like, if I did it all by myself,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: then I wouldn't have been able to explore that and
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: be excited about that and have fun with that.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. And I'm going to add one
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: little caveat to what you said, because this could be
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: a whole nother conversation, is your teachers and speakers, and
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: this goes back generations, not generations, years, decades, let's say decades,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: that when you are talking about something, you talk in
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the vocabulary and in a way that a fifth grader
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: can understand it. So be a very simple speaker or presenter.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And if you can't explain what you do to a
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: fifth grader, then you need to revisit what you're doing
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and figure it out so you can explain it to them.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And I was like, and in fact, I just heard
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that again this morning. I was like, okay. I like
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: simple things. So I'm like, I try to keep things
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: very simple and in simple language so people understand. That's
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: the way I learn. And obviously that's the way a
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: majority of the population learns. So, so that's cool. I
• 33:07

  Speaker 1: opening the flow of the universe, stopping the flow of
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the universe. We have a lot of information here and

  Speaker 1: gave you some tools, tips, techniques. So take what resonates
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: with you and leave the rest behind. You can always
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: come back and revisit if you think that something else
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: got your attention and you need to listen to it again.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: You can do that with videos, podcasts, speakers, books. How

  Speaker 1: And there are other people in this world, probably your
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: closest friends and co-workers, family members, who may be inquisitive
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: about these same topics. And so be resourceful, maybe plant
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the seeds and then just share the content, share the links,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: share the books, whether it's us or anybody else. So
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it just helps us continue to grow and learn and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: expand together. And that's what we're here for, to be
• 34:37
