Welcome to this week's Giddy Up segment.
2
:I'm so thankful that you're here and.
3
:It's almost Christmas, which
I'm really excited about.
4
:Looking forward to family and
grand babies make it so fun.
5
:now, you know, this giddy up segment
is here to help you as I make my
6
:journey through life and I'm doing
everything I can to make it better.
7
:And so what I wanted to share with you
today, well, first of all, If you didn't
8
:get a chance to listen to Tuesday's
episode, please go back and listen because
9
:I have a good friend, Michelle, who's on,
who actually came in and helped me when I
10
:was going through my little health issues.
11
:she really, she's inspiring and
she talks about how she kept a
12
:positive mindset through a real
tricky divorce with two kids.
13
:So if you can get through that, you know,
if we can get through hard things and
14
:learn from other people, it's going to.
15
:help us either when we face
hard things or maybe to even get
16
:there before facing the hard.
17
:What I want to share is, y'all know
that I have been an anxious person.
18
:You know, I've shared that
probably my entire life.
19
:I've just had anxiety and worry
and I really want to overcome that.
20
:And it's really important to me, since
my little health crisis, because.
21
:I felt like I was doing a lot right.
22
:Like I was trying, you know, doing my best
with trying to get good sleep, getting
23
:exercise pretty good nutritionally.
24
:I talked a little bit about probably,
maybe wine too often during the
25
:week and that's changed now, which
has changed my body and been really
26
:good and started weightlifting.
27
:But the one thing.
28
:that I really haven't been good at
that I'm really working on is kind of
29
:relieving the stress or just Being being
freer or feeling freer and happier and
30
:what I'm learning Through something
called NLP, which I'm not going to get
31
:into because I just started it I've got
some episodes coming up with a really
32
:amazing Functional assessment expert.
33
:She's gonna talk a little bit about
genetics And then we're going to talk a
34
:little bit about NLP, but what led me to
get there was I listened to a Tony Robbins
35
:episode and it was one with Bruce Lipton
and I'm going to put a link with his
36
:book that I'm reading in it, but Bruce.
37
:very scientifically minded.
38
:In fact, sometimes as book, I'm like,
Oh, because I just want to get to,
39
:okay, tell me what I can do to feel
better, but it's really in depth.
40
:And you know, this GiddyUp segment is
quick, but I want to give you a tool
41
:that I, I just recorded before this.
42
:And he said that when
you're falling asleep.
43
:is when your mind is
open to kind of rewire.
44
:And I do feel like I need to rewire
my brain because of that anxiety.
45
:And it's a very complicated kind of, I
mean, he can explain it really well in
46
:his book and in, in that podcast about
how our thoughts and beliefs kind of get
47
:wired in us when we're really, really
young, with good parents, with bad
48
:parents, no matter what, something gets.
49
:wired and it's really hard to change
that wiring when you said one really
50
:easy way to do it is through hypnosis.
51
:Well, I kept listening and I thought
well, I mean, I don't even know if I
52
:really trust anyone to hypnotize me
and you know, I, I I have also, you
53
:know, in this journey, I don't want
to do myself help without my God.
54
:So I just ask him to hold
my hand through this.
55
:But one thing that Bruce Lipton
suggested doing, which can really
56
:easily rewire your brain is to just do
a simple voice recording of yourself.
57
:And it's kind of, so what I do is
kind of saying, rewiring your brain.
58
:So you know how we can
say like, I'm beautiful.
59
:I don't worry about what other
people think or whatever it is.
60
:But until you really believe that
it's not going to change your life.
61
:So I just tried it I did a recording.
62
:And it was about three minutes long.
63
:And then I did a recording where I kept
replaying the same thing and just put down
64
:things like, I love myself as God loves
me, which gives me freedom and peace.
65
:I think that was one thing that
I said, because that's in my
66
:journey, that's one thing that
I'm learning that I need help on.
67
:And you guys, this is so deep.
68
:But I thought, let me give you this
little tool because I think it can help.
69
:You know, how everybody talks about
beliefs and it is a biblical that, you
70
:know, you need to believe it in order
or, or in order for God, that's faith.
71
:So it is biblical and I don't want to go
against that ever, but I thought, well,
72
:let's just give this a little try and see.
73
:I think kind of what I'm figuring out is
God created us in his image and he, Is a
74
:creator and so are we and so I think he
wants us to use all the gifts that we can
75
:So i'm willing to give this a try and I
I you know I'm willing to find peace and
76
:to not have anxiety and to do even bigger
things, you know with with this practice.
77
:So I will let you all know how it goes.
78
:I will come back on the little
giddy up segment or in one of my
79
:Maybe in another longer segment.
80
:I don't know But I will get back
to you and let you know how my life
81
:has changed with this practice So
what you do is you do the recording?
82
:You do the recording And then you
use it right before you fall asleep.
83
:you put little headphones in.
84
:If you've got a buddy in bed, you
hopefully your hubby, you know, or
85
:sometimes a grandkid or a kid, but you
put your headphones in and you listen.
86
:And what I have found is.
87
:I often wake up at night and I'll stick
headphones in and listen to a podcast.
88
:And I'm like, well, I don't know
if I, I mean, I love Joe Rogan.
89
:Don't get me wrong, but I don't really
know if I want all that information
90
:going into my subconscious, which
apparently is what happens when
91
:you're starting to fall asleep.
92
:So this is new and I'm going to start
plugging in to my own voice doing.
93
:positive affirmations, but just positive
beliefs that I really want to believe.
94
:And I'm not there yet that I think
could change my life based on who I am.
95
:And mine are going to
be different than yours.
96
:We all have, we're all different.
97
:We're all in this together
and we're all different.
98
:So, give it a try.
99
:Send me a note, let me know how it
goes and I will keep you posted.
100
:Thank you so much for being here.
101
:I feel so blessed to be able
to share this with all of you.
