• 0:21

• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning.
• 0:30
  From the chicken coop. The rain is coming down, the
• 0:34
  Roosters are out here going wild talking to each other in the
• 0:37
  neighborhood this morning. Sure.
• 0:39
  You're going to hear that going off and we are talking about
• 0:43
  there you go, we are talking today about future pacing and
• 0:50
  figuring out is it the right thing to do.
• 0:53
  I've had so many people ask me that recently and I'm like, you
• 0:58
  know, it's interesting because I am a mad future pacer and might
• 1:02
  be saying what the hell is that, Kim?
• 1:04
  Well, basically it's where you're constantly thinking about
• 1:07
  what's next, what you want to do.
• 1:09
  You're, you know, in the future, so to speak, you know, like the
• 1:13
  Jetsons, your way out there and and you're having this moment
• 1:18
  where you're not present where you are.
• 1:21
  So you're, I mean, obviously you're physically present where
• 1:24
  you are, but your brain is somewhere else and you say to
• 1:26
  yourself, OK, you know, what would this look like?
• 1:29
  What would I do? How do you feel?
• 1:30
  You get really excited about being out in the future?
• 1:33
  And, you know, obviously it's one of those things where it's a
• 1:38
  how do I say it's kind of like salt.
• 1:40
  If you use too much of it, it becomes a problem.
• 1:44
  You know, all of a sudden you have hypertension.
• 1:46
  All of a sudden you have issues where you're swelling up.
• 1:49
  All of a sudden your heart's not healthy.
• 1:51
  And I like to think for myself that that's a little bit what
• 1:55
  future pacing is like, because I'm super creative and
• 1:57
  imaginative. So I can go to my future really,
• 2:01
  really quickly and really enjoy being out there and thinking
• 2:05
  about it and goal setting and doing all that stuff.
• 2:08
  I mean, that's how everything comes into play in the world,
• 2:11
  right? You start to see it somewhere
• 2:13
  and then you start to imagine it in a bigger way and then all of
• 2:18
  a sudden you're really excited about it.
• 2:19
  So now we've got the emotion kicking in and then before you
• 2:22
  know it, you have a giant chicken coop like we do now.
• 2:25
  Well, because this is how it works.
• 2:28
  So the the question that people often get entangled with, and I
• 2:33
  do want to use that word entangled because it's hard to
• 2:37
  know what is the right thing to do.
• 2:40
  And we're always asking, is that the right thing to do?
• 2:43
  Is that the correct thing to do? And again, like salt, sometimes
• 2:48
  when you're cooking and you don't use any salt.
• 2:51
  And I love this metaphor, especially for myself, because I
• 2:55
  am a is there salt in that? I don't like salt oh so much,
• 2:59
  But I know it makes things taste better, but too much of it
• 3:03
  really doesn't make me feel well.
• 3:05
  So I have this paranoia, if you will, around salt.
• 3:09
  So I'm always asking about it. In fact, I drive my husband
• 3:12
  crazy about salt. So he and he'll always look at
• 3:15
  me before he puts the food down. When he cooks, he's like,
• 3:18
  there's no salt in yours or there's very little salt in
• 3:21
  yours or I kept it to a minimum, whatever he's going to say.
• 3:25
  So it's a great metaphor because I'm constantly cautious of it.
• 3:31
  And this is what I'm talking about with the future pacing.
• 3:34
  Now I want you to realize there's absolutely no reason to
• 3:39
  not future pace. There's absolutely not one thing
• 3:44
  that says never future pace. But when you're staying out
• 3:47
  there all the time and you're not in the present moment, the
• 3:50
  challenge is your present moment is not helping you.
• 3:54
  It's not get, you're not in the right energy in that moment.
• 3:57
  You're off somewhere else in your head.
• 3:59
  So the trick that I have found is to go back and forth to you
• 4:04
  can absolutely have that time, but then you come back.
• 4:07
  And when you come back from the future, sound like you know that
• 4:12
  Michael J. Fox movie, Back to the Future.
• 4:15
  When you come back from the future, you're going to take
• 4:18
  that joyous anticipation with you and bring it back.
• 4:22
  So you're excited because that's part of the manifesting process.
• 4:26
  So it's it's dipping out, coming back, dipping out, coming back.
• 4:30
  There's absolutely nothing wrong with that and I find for myself
• 4:35
  personally that I like that more because then it puts me back
• 4:39
  into my doing head. And my doing head is really
• 4:42
  powerful, so I want to use that. I want to stay in that place
• 4:46
  because I really like my list. I like checking things off.
• 4:50
  I like tracking my wins. So this is a really useful tool
• 4:54
  for me because I get to use my creative pieces and I get to use
• 4:58
  the other parts of me as well. And it feels fantastic when you
• 5:02
  do that. You know, often we forget
• 5:05
  certain things and we forget that our imagination is part of
• 5:10
  that future. Pacing and imagination is our
• 5:12
  gift from God. So what we do with it is our
• 5:15
  gift back. So we want to do that and you
• 5:18
  know Abraham Hicks who you if you if you spend any time with
• 5:21
  me, you know I absolutely love Esther Hicks and Abraham and
• 5:26
  just the whole essence of what she teaches regardless of
• 5:31
  opinions about how she gets it or what not.
• 5:34
  The essence of what she teaches is fabulous.
• 5:36
  And there's a quote I want to read you guys this from one of
• 5:39
  her excerpts that she did on a a live event.
• 5:42
  And she says people say if I'm always getting goals and
• 5:46
  reaching for the future, then I am I not squandering my now.
• 5:50
  And we say that in your now you are using a future event to make
• 5:54
  you feel good. You are still feeling good in
• 5:57
  your now and that's the best use that you could ever find.
• 6:02
  So see, it's for for her teachings.
• 6:05
  It's always about how you feel in the moment, always about what
• 6:09
  your present moment is, and that's that point of attraction.
• 6:13
  So I love that and I wanted to share that with you because I
• 6:17
  think it's so powerful. I hope you guys do some future
• 6:20
  pacing today. I hope you guys bring it back to
• 6:23
  the now. I hope you stay in that joyous
• 6:25
  anticipation of knowing that you just planted seeds out there and
• 6:30
  they're going to be growing. So have a very, very blessed day
• 6:34
  and I will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
