*Previously Recorded

Speaker 1:

Are you ready to create a life you crave? Let's spin that doom loop of negativity into an upward success cycle and start living lucky.

Speaker 2:

Good morning.

Speaker 1:

I'm Jemma, I'm Jason and we are living lucky. Are you talking to yourself?

Speaker 2:

Or are you listening to yourself? Oh, and if you're listening to yourself, are you listening to the right soundtrack?

Speaker 1:

And if you're talking to yourself are you saying the right things? Oh, that's a lot to unpack.

Speaker 2:

I know let's get started I asked a guy the other day would you talk to your five-year-old self that way? He said, well, my five-year-old self wouldn't be that stupid. I was like, well, that's harsh. He just put himself down. And that's exactly how a lot of us talk to ourself. Is we say why are you so stupid, why can't you get this, why aren't you getting it right, why are you not successful? We disempower ourselves emotionally and physically by the language that we use to ourself internally. Sometimes we even say it out loud. So it's changing that talk, track and recognizing, because a lot of times we don't even recognize what we say.

Speaker 1:

You know what I've actually heard. I've heard my mom say that before. I'm so stupid. How could I be so stupid?

Speaker 2:

Can you imagine what life would be like if you actually heard the thought bubbles that people say about themselves?

Speaker 1:

Oh gosh, would you want people to hear, to see your thought bubbles?

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't want people to hear sometimes what my thought bubbles were about them sometimes.

Speaker 1:

That's just being honest. I don't really have thought bubbles about other people, but I think things about myself. I often think, oh my gosh, I'm such a fool. Why did I say that? I think that a lot.

Speaker 2:

Why did, I just say that what I would never want is thought bubbles above my car or on my back windshield that actually were what I was truly thinking when I'm driving.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you get an energy when you're driving. I don't like sometimes being in the car. When you're driving, I can feel your energy. I'm an empath, so I not only feel Jason's energy, but I can sometimes feel the energy of other people on the road. Did you just hear that? That banger bell?

Speaker 2:

just went through.

Speaker 1:

And I, I literally, I literally am like I don't want to be here. I would rather click my heels.

Speaker 2:

If I'm not, if I'm not listening to an audible or a book on tape or something like book on tape and audible, then I don't. I will be focused on what other people are doing. I'll be, I'll be more in a hurry. I need that kind of meditative knowledge center, windshield university to keep my mind focused.

Speaker 1:

Did you just call windshield university?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, it's just the way to occupy my time, to say you know what this is. It's not. I'm not in a rush, I'm in the now and I'm here to learn. I'm not here to be in a hurry to get to the next spot, I'm just here to learn. And if somebody is slowing me down or if there's a, if the traffic is is bad, I'm just. It gives me more classroom time.

Speaker 1:

You know where I get really competitive in the? The driving realm is the only place she played. Drive through, yeah.

Speaker 2:

How did you know? Don't I was, I gave her the first, don't you get in front of me? Yes, that is the only place. Otherwise I am so calm cool and collected.

Speaker 1:

I'm like no, you know what I? I mean, I had my tickets in my thirties, but in my forties I'm like you know what? I'll just take my time. I am mellow, I am chill, I will just listen to my my faith music and I love. I love my time in my car, but you get me in that Chick-fil-A line.

Speaker 2:

Well, I thought, is it so? Is it the fact that you're you got the prize and you see the prize and you're trying to get the finish line? Where's it, your sense of order and justice? Because you?

Speaker 1:

know, I don't know, but it also bothers me. It also bothers me, it bothers me when.

Speaker 2:

let's open up this can of whoop ass here.

Speaker 1:

It bothers me when they skip my car and deliver it, deliver the food to the cars behind me. It was ready, I know, but then those cars they should sneak out the back door.

Speaker 1:

They drive out of line and I don't like that and the all the other thing, everyone, they used to put a three inch and here's the thing, seven inch curb. Okay, so I'm just going to tell you, I'm just going to tell you all. So our neighbor four houses down, is the owner of the Chick-fil-A, of two Chick-fil-A's, now getting a third? No, I think so. I'm not positive. Oh my gosh. Okay, so the owner of three Chick-fil-A's and I feel like maybe I need to share this podcast with him and her or the family.

Speaker 2:

Sure, we should just get a Chick-fil-A badge so that they know these are the rules when we come through the line.

Speaker 1:

Maybe, we need to set some rules we need to set some rules.

Speaker 2:

Do you know who we are? We know the owners.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so here's the thing. So today we're talking about. Today we're talking about are you talking to yourself or listening to yourself and I think I'm not alone on this when you're going through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru, I think other people are saying the same thing.

Speaker 2:

I think people are doing that. Do it in a Chick-fil-A drive-thru. I think they're doing it at the red lights. I think they're. I watch people speed up to get to the next red light, just so nobody gets in front of them.

Speaker 1:

No, I kid you not. The last time I went through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru I thought, I thought. I thought that I was going to get in a fender bender just just nudging just nudging of who was next. I was clearly next. I was clearly next and we were literally inches apart and I was like, no, how dare you try to get in front of me.

Speaker 2:

This is why you need a Hummer and not a Mini Cooper.

Speaker 1:

I feel like my Mini Cooper takes up as much space as is needed. Like it rules the road, it does rule the road. It's just that I don't know there there's something about those chick filet lines, and then and then would. Just when my blood starts to boil a little bit, then they say it's my pleasure.

Speaker 2:

And that kind of just rubs a little salt in the world it's gonna be my pleasure to go to the people behind you first, just so you know and that bothers me, that bothers me so much.

Speaker 1:

and then the last thing about the chick filet drive through and then I promise you I'll get back to what we were talking about. The last thing that bothers me is that they have now like three entrances to the parking lot to get to the chick filet drive through.

Speaker 2:

only one entrance into the drive through, yes, and if you pick the wrong, so if you pick the wrong one, you have to drive around and then someone someone else comes in that right entrance and I'm like wait a minute. I was.

Speaker 1:

I just did a lap around the parking lot, darwin, and you're gonna come in right at when I've done three fourths of a lap and you're gonna come in and Merge line you're gonna merge.

Speaker 2:

you just got off the highway, sir, and I've been parking lotting it for the last two and a half minutes forty five seconds, maybe it's a Darwin design parking lot is to design to call out people that use the wrong entrance and make them start the day.

Speaker 1:

I don't know for the next seven, I don't like it one bit because I had to literally stop twice to let the, because now they have the. If you order on the app, then people come out for that, people come out to deliver. So I had to stop twice to let the.

Speaker 2:

The app deliveries did you use ways or Google Maps to get into the parking lot?

Speaker 1:

See, you know what.

Speaker 2:

we've gone way over what we have Now but what are you telling yourself or what are you listening to when you talk to yourself?

Speaker 1:

Okay, so yeah get out of this conversation.

Speaker 2:

We've gone way over. You're funny. That's what you're telling yourself.

Speaker 1:

Well, you know, I I like to meditate and I, meditating to me, is listening, and praying is talking. That's huge, that's a great distinction.

Speaker 2:

So I feel like you told me that before and I let like a skatoma or something get in the way of me remembering it and that's, that's big, because meditation is kind of learning the language, prayer is using the language and then for me, a lot of times it's I have to be super intentional about saying this is, this is the kind of day I'm going to have. I'm going to talk to myself in this language and then being aware of and having you as my accountability partner, saying hey, is that in congruence with the way you said we were going to be living, because we chose extraordinary, and in the mornings I choose to have enthusiasm and you're like hey this does not congruent with extraordinary or enthusiasm.

Speaker 2:

Right you're kind of offbeat on both of those.

Speaker 1:

So change your language, pal, and let's refocus and get, get back in alignment and honestly I'm not sure going through the Chick-fil-A drive through is really in congruence at at all times. I mean maybe every now and then it is, and and when I do get upset. I was going to say the way that I handle it is. I just started started snarling down those nuggets, start snarling down those nuggets, those nuggets.

Speaker 2:

Those devil nuggets, but they're really God's nuggets.

Speaker 1:

And I give one to myself and one to Tater.

Speaker 2:

And that sharing is caring, especially with Tater, because you're really going through the line for her, so just be grateful.

Speaker 1:

Oh, and did you know that they have puff?

Speaker 2:

Do they have dog? Yeah, doggy donuts.

Speaker 1:

or something they offered Tater a it's. It's like a. Is it doggy ice cream? It's a paw puff no-transcript.

Speaker 2:

I don't even know what that means. That's what I said.

Speaker 1:

I said what is a pop-up?

Speaker 2:

Is it extra?

Speaker 1:

That's what I asked.

Speaker 2:

It'll be my pleasure if you could just let the dog out of the corner.

Speaker 1:

They said he kind of whispered. He said really it's just a plate of whipped cream for the dog. And I said oh well that sounds like a big old mess in my car, doesn't it?

Speaker 2:

That sounds like a Labrador's dream. A golden retriever, or a Labrador's dream.

Speaker 1:

Maybe if you're at home or outside, but not in my mini Cooper. In the back of a Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado On a summer afternoon In a rural town, anyway, ok, so what is your thought bubble saying, and are you?

Speaker 2:

Do you need to pop it or do you need to nurture it?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, let's all just think about that one today as we sit in the drive-thru of the Chick-fil-A.

Speaker 2:

What drive-thru are you sitting in this morning?

Speaker 1:
