• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Okay, today, we are talking about momentum.
• 0:33
  And why is momentum important? Well, most of us think that
• 0:37
  momentum has to do with positive energy will say, oh well, I've
• 0:42
  got, you know, moving in the right direction, move, you know,
• 0:46
  everything's happening, everything is clicking, but
• 0:48
  momentum can be in either a positive or A negative
• 0:51
  Direction. You can either be moving and
• 0:55
  piling up stacking, all these wonderful events and thoughts
• 0:58
  and things into the l'm of the things that you like or you can
• 1:03
  be doing that on the negative side, where it's a bunch of
• 1:06
  things that you don't want. You don't like and you feel
• 1:09
  like, oh, you're being sucked down a rabbit hole.
• 1:11
  And of course, you know, we've all said it.
• 1:14
  Oh, when it rains, it. Pours phrases like that.
• 1:16
  Indicate we are moving in a direction that we do not like
• 1:20
  we're moving in a direction. That is unrwa Source will for us
• 1:22
  but it is still nonetheless momentum and the lesson about
• 1:27
  momentum that's so important from Development side is that
• 1:32
  being aware that you're in momentum, positive or negative.
• 1:37
  Again, I add is a level of your awareness, a level of how you
• 1:42
  see things. So if you can recognize that the
• 1:45
  momentum is moving in a way that you like, then you start to
• 1:49
  track what is working? You start to track what you're
• 1:51
  doing. That is taking you in that
• 1:53
  direction that you like if you are in a direction that you
• 1:58
  don't like, the most important thing is to Say well, what
• 2:01
  triggered it, why am I staying in it and then what's the
• 2:03
  quickest way to interrupts that pattern and interrupts that
• 2:06
  momentum and shift it and turn it around?
• 2:08
  Because if you don't turn it around, it's going to
• 2:10
  collectively. Keep vibrating in that
• 2:14
  direction, and you will continue no consistently move in that
• 2:17
  direction. And we need to break the
• 2:20
  pattern. So, momentum, from your your
• 2:25
  mindset point of view, really comes from a state of awareness
• 2:30
  and saying, Okay. Where am I right now?
• 2:32
  Most of us don't check in throughout the day, most of us
• 2:35
  just go throughout our day and we Bumble from one thing to the
• 2:39
  next and not checking in on where that momentum is going.
• 2:42
  Which direction am I going? Am I moving closer to what I
• 2:45
  want or am? I moving further away from what
• 2:47
  I want? And how is that affecting me?
• 2:50
  So on the very very basic level. You can do that little exercise
• 2:55
  throughout your day and my feeling closer to the way I want
• 2:58
  to feel all the time or am I feeling?
• 3:00
  Either from the way I want to feel all the time.
• 3:02
  Am I moving closer to what I want to create or moving
• 3:05
  further, from what I want to create?
• 3:07
  You can just keep asking that frame of question as many times
• 3:11
  as you need to. So you can start to measure how
• 3:15
  that direction is and my flowing to where I want to go or my
• 3:18
  flowing away from where I want to go.
• 3:21
  Super important exercise though because it's truthful and
• 3:25
  remember it's not about what you're telling yourself, it's
• 3:28
  about what you're feeling. So the word Can be there.
• 3:31
  You can be doing mantras and you can be saying, I feel great, I
• 3:35
  feel great or affirmations. If anyone calls them that you
• 3:37
  can be saying all the right words, but the emotion behind it
• 3:41
  is off and the emotion is stuck in the momentum and the momentum
• 3:44
  is creating more of that momentum because that's what it
• 3:46
  is. It's momentum.
• 3:48
  So you have to stop and pause and do those check-ins because
• 3:53
  the wave of momentum is real and we know that phrase ride the
• 3:59
  wave is Uncle. So I think that the most
• 4:03
  effective way when you just start off, doing this process is
• 4:07
  to create a little checklist for yourself.
• 4:09
  Whether you do it in your phone and notes and your phone you do
• 4:12
  it on paper, it's irrelevant, but you just want to do a
• 4:15
  periodic check in. Now, I've had clients do this in
• 4:19
  the past where they'll say, I'll do it in the morning.
• 4:21
  I do it at lunch and I do it at night.
• 4:23
  And that's great. It's that is so solid because
• 4:25
  it's better than nothing. However, because emotions are
• 4:29
  like the wind and they changed Quickly, it's you're better off
• 4:32
  if you start to do them more frequently if you really want to
• 4:36
  make change quickly, the best thing that you can do for
• 4:39
  yourself, is to monitor more frequently.
• 4:42
  So you're just constantly checking in constantly pulling
• 4:45
  information the times that I've done this with myself, and I've
• 4:48
  really poured into it. I have and I'm no joke because I
• 4:51
  am like the detail girl. I love details.
• 4:54
  I like to be able to see it. I actually once did this on a
• 4:57
  graph where I use graph paper and I started off Off and I gave
• 5:01
  myself, and every 30 minutes I was checking in and I would drop
• 5:04
  a point and I had created emotions above the line and
• 5:08
  emotions below the line Light Side, dark side, and then I
• 5:11
  would sit and I would graph it and I would say, okay, I was up
• 5:13
  and down up and down. Look like an EKG by the end of
• 5:16
  the day. It was so fascinating, was a fun
• 5:18
  way to do it and I did it for I ended up doing it for probably
• 5:22
  over the course of a month. I did it.
• 5:25
  I won't say every day because that would be exaggerating but I
• 5:28
  did it for a probably out of He won days.
• 5:31
  I'd say I probably did it about 20 23 days, something like that
• 5:35
  where I just, you know, kept it going kept going, kept it going
• 5:39
  and every hour, just checking in every half hour, whatever you
• 5:42
  feel like just keep doing it. So you can see, where am I?
• 5:46
  What are those predominant emotions that are that keep
• 5:49
  hooking me, and am I in that place of going, taking that ride
• 5:54
  of momentum in the right direction.
• 5:56
  But when you look at the EKG, you'll see.
• 5:58
  It doesn't matter what the words say, it only matters.
• 6:00
  What the Emotion is. So I want to be above that line,
• 6:03
  I want to see myself above the line so that I know that I am
• 6:07
  moving in the right direction. So I'm going to challenge you
• 6:10
  guys, come up with your own little way of doing it, even if
• 6:12
  it's just like I said, anything helps.
• 6:15
  Anything is going to move you, but throw yourself into it.
• 6:18
  See because I'd like to see you guys finished with some really
• 6:20
  strong momentum for the end of the year and then ride that wave
• 6:25
  into the new year. So that when you get to that
• 6:28
  place, you can celebrate everything that you've And feel
• 6:30
  good about it. Alright, my friends, I will see
• 6:33
  you tomorrow morning have a blessed day.
