• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so I want to talk to you about doing one thing at a time.
• 0:34
  And it's funny because as I was walking out here and getting
• 0:38
  ready to set the girls up for the day, their little door has
• 0:42
  not even opened yet their Auto door on the side.
• 0:45
  Oh, you can hear the new there. We have a new group of babies,
• 0:49
  and one of them is crowing, clearly, not a hen.
• 0:52
  Anyway, as I'm walking out here, I'm planning on talking to you
• 0:58
  about doing one thing at a time. Time and doing one thing at a
• 1:03
  time is very hard, especially if you're focused on having, you
• 1:10
  know that one intention. So as I was coming out the door,
• 1:13
  I'm like, okay, I'm going to go get the chickens all set up,
• 1:16
  shoot the podcast and I realize, I'm running my to do list in my
• 1:20
  head and I think this is very funny because I'm coming to
• 1:22
  shoot and talk to you about doing one thing at a time.
• 1:26
  And then, as I'm walking over, I'm thinking, okay, I've already
• 1:30
  Otten the waters changed out. I did those yesterday.
• 1:35
  I've gotten, you know, a bunch of other stuff taken care of
• 1:38
  yesterday, and I'm running this in.
• 1:40
  Like, wait, wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.
• 1:41
  I'm supposed to be focusing on just doing the chickens, right?
• 1:45
  This minute going out, opening their doors doing the podcast.
• 1:49
  So as I'm out here, spreading all their seed on the ground,
• 1:53
  putting their little trays down. I'm hearing myself yet again,
• 1:57
  and this is a matter of what, three minutes, maybe two
• 2:00
  minutes. Course-correcting again thinking
• 2:02
  about oh I have all these vegetables that I need to figure
• 2:06
  out recipes for this week and get those taken care of and I'm
• 2:10
  like no no back up. Oh got a backup.
• 2:13
  Got it back up again I'm in here I put the trays down I'm
• 2:16
  thinking to myself huh? I should probably save a little
• 2:19
  bit of this scratch and go over to where that peacock is in the
• 2:22
  tree and give it some food. I'm and I'm like oh my gosh and
• 2:27
  then before I even opened their doors and they're like I said
• 2:30
  they have an Otto door that opens, but I opened their main
• 2:32
  doors, let them out. I was like, you know what, I
• 2:34
  have to put this down because I need everybody to see, this is
• 2:38
  not just an anomaly, this is human beings and their head, and
• 2:43
  this is what we all go through. And I want you guys to see this
• 2:46
  because this is so insanely detrimental to real progress
• 2:53
  when you're trying to focus, your attention and your
• 2:56
  intention in a direction because we are so scattered as human
• 3:00
  beings. And our brains just move like
• 3:02
  lightning, and rather than hanging in one space and really
• 3:06
  enjoying that space. We go all over the place and it
• 3:10
  is tough to control it. If I had to tell you, you know,
• 3:15
  what is the hardest thing that you face as a human being?
• 3:18
  It is it mentally as this goes, this is it, it's controlling
• 3:23
  your focus. Because if you're someone that
• 3:25
  stresses, if you're a person that adds stress to your life,
• 3:28
  like I used to be, oh my God. Ash that will pull you every
• 3:32
  single time. It sucks, you back in.
• 3:35
  It's just a constant tap, tap, tap tap tap, tap, tap worry
• 3:38
  about this tap tap, tap tap tap, think about this tap tap, tap
• 3:41
  tap tap, come over here, I need you to do this and it is all
• 3:47
  over you. And unless and until you get a
• 3:51
  grip on being able to call it out, catch it and move it in a
• 3:54
  different direction. It will own, you just like it
• 3:57
  owned me for the last 4 minutes and often does I I wanted to
• 4:02
  talk about this today because I realize it's such a big deal and
• 4:05
  it was just great that the Universe provided me that
• 4:08
  opportunity, while I was standing there, shooting the
• 4:11
  podcast for you. I didn't even wait to get the
• 4:13
  girls out. Here, they come.
• 4:14
  Now their door just opened. So it's one of those things
• 4:17
  where, you know, I was like I have to tell everybody this
• 4:20
  because this is a hard, this is a hard thing to learn.
• 4:23
  It is a very, very, very hard thing to learn and the quicker
• 4:27
  you start to recognize that the learning part Of.
• 4:30
  This is a very very, very long process that does not happen
• 4:37
  overnight. You have to be insanely patient
• 4:41
  with yourself. And you have to be willing to
• 4:43
  course, correct. And you have to be willing to
• 4:45
  recognize the pattern of overthinking and trying to do
• 4:48
  multiple thoughts. At the same time is something
• 4:51
  that we are taught to multitask and it is not healthy.
• 4:55
  So the point is don't beat yourself up.
• 4:59
  The point is Just catch it. Just bring yourself back.
• 5:03
  Just constantly be tapping on yourself and bringing yourself
• 5:06
  back note. This is what we're doing walking
• 5:08
  liked what I could have been doing the whole time, is paying
• 5:11
  attention to this. My surroundings.
• 5:13
  Walking the grass is cut. Oh, this is nice, air feels
• 5:17
  clean this morning. This is nice, bringing myself
• 5:21
  back to the moment, it always works.
• 5:23
  So, in this moment, I wish you guys a wonderful blessed day and
• 5:28
  I will see you tomorrow, and hopefully you will have A very
• 5:31
  good handle on the head. Chaos that happens.
• 5:34
  All right. My friends.
• 5:35
  Take care. Bye.
