• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. Today I want to talk to you
• 0:32
  about your emotions behind the scenes.
• 0:34
  Now any of you who may regularly follow me know this is one of my
• 0:38
  favorite things to talk about. I've written a book on it, Who's
• 0:41
  Driving Your Bus? It's available on Amazon.
• 0:43
  If you choose to go get it, there is a very inexpensive
• 0:46
  electronic download over there, the Kindle download or you can
• 0:50
  get it in print. But today I want to give you
• 0:52
  kind of the the nuts and bolts of it here so you can get it and
• 0:56
  if you don't have to go buy the book.
• 0:59
  So emotions are very tricky and in my world they are constantly
• 1:05
  what I'm working on because with with myself and with my clients,
• 1:09
  because they are what makes us do and act and be.
• 1:13
  We are emotional creatures and where emotions go, energy flows.
• 1:19
  So it's very, it's very smart and it's very, it's just very
• 1:28
  prudent to be able to manage your emotions because if you
• 1:30
  can't manage your emotions, they will manage you.
• 1:34
  And it's really important to know that and to work towards
• 1:37
  that. So that being said, years ago
• 1:41
  when I was studying all of this and diving into it for myself, I
• 1:44
  had trouble managing my own emotions.
• 1:46
  And I would. I would know I learned 6 steps
• 1:49
  to this, ten steps to this, whatever it might have been,
• 1:52
  whatever whoever's theory it was.
• 1:53
  But in the moment when I had to really do things and really make
• 1:57
  them shift, I couldn't get it. I couldn't get control of it
• 2:01
  because what was going on behind the scenes, what was going on in
• 2:04
  the back of my head, were emotions that I was not
• 2:06
  necessarily able to stop. So I came up with this theory of
• 2:12
  thinking of my emotions like a cast of characters on a bus.
• 2:15
  Whoever is driving the bus, meaning that motion that's in
• 2:20
  charge, large and in charge is driving the bus.
• 2:22
  My entire experience is now going to be funneled through
• 2:25
  that view, through that particular emotions view, And
• 2:30
  then I can decide, well, is this the most resourceful driver?
• 2:33
  So in the book I talk about, when you have this show up, you
• 2:37
  have to say to yourself, stop, you know if this emotion, if
• 2:39
  you're in an emotional state, you say stop, you know reflect,
• 2:43
  what emotion is this? Choose, Is this the best emotion
• 2:47
  for me? And then redirect.
• 2:48
  So there's a little poem, stop, reflect, choose, redirect.
• 2:52
  And it helps you to get your emotions back in charge.
• 2:56
  But this, this idea of your emotions having so much control
• 3:04
  over you really needs to be paid attention to.
• 3:07
  Because I can assure you, I can assure you, this is how we get
• 3:12
  into trouble. This is how we reach greatness.
• 3:15
  All the paths that we need to pay attention to in our lives
• 3:19
  are predicated on emotions. It's how we are manipulated in
• 3:23
  advertising. They get us, they get us right
• 3:25
  in the heartstrings and they get us in the excitement.
• 3:29
  It's how when you go and you're you're, you go on a tour and
• 3:33
  like if you're going to go to a, go to see a place where you know
• 3:38
  a timeshare and they get you by giving you all of this
• 3:42
  information that moves you, it's always emotional.
• 3:45
  So you being able to manage yourself and you being able to
• 3:49
  manage those emotions will move you to be able to be in charge
• 3:54
  of it as opposed to being manipulated by things.
• 3:57
  And I can tell you right now, hear what's going on between the
• 4:01
  Roosters. This is because one of them is
• 4:03
  crowing, and so the others are being emotionally moved by him
• 4:07
  and they're all now being getting going.
• 4:10
  So it's all three of the Roosters are going to town right
• 4:13
  now based on their their emotions are being moved and
• 4:16
  they're all getting amped up. And this isn't just in humans,
• 4:20
  this happens constantly in nature.
• 4:22
  It happens all the time. He's right next to me and loud.
• 4:26
  So this is imperative and understanding what your core
• 4:32
  emotions are that are driving you is the name of the game.
• 4:35
  So while we can experience a myriad of emotions, there are
• 4:39
  usually three to five that drive us all the time.
• 4:42
  There are patterns that we get stuck in and stuck with.
• 4:46
  So I'm going to challenge you today to go off and figure out
• 4:50
  what are your primary drivers, emotions if you will, that are
• 4:55
  yours, that you seem to go to all the time.
• 4:59
  And if you don't like those, then you have to start working
• 5:02
  on shifting them to better ones, to other ones.
• 5:05
  But you will have to do this and these check ins take place all
• 5:09
  the time. And when I say all the time, I
• 5:11
  mean you have to do this 100 times a day, no question about
• 5:15
  it. This is AI just changed it.
• 5:18
  Why is it back? Well, because it's patterns and
• 5:20
  because it's used to being with you that way.
• 5:22
  So you're going to have to do it over and over and over.
• 5:24
  And is this a lot of work? Well, it depends on how you view
• 5:27
  work. But is it necessary to get you
• 5:30
  where you want to go? Absolutely.
• 5:31
  Because without it you will be you'll be tortured by these
• 5:38
  these these emotions showing up and you not being able to
• 5:42
  control them and them controlling you.
• 5:44
  So you either control them or they control you.
• 5:46
  So start there, start looking and figure out which ones you
• 5:50
  have as core drivers. And we will be having this
• 5:53
  conversation about this quite a bit more.
• 5:55
  So I will talk to you soon. Bye.
