Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Today, we review the good, the bad, the ugly from the Living Free in Tennessee Spring Workshop with The Tactical Redneck, one of our participants. All in all, things went well, folks got to learn from each other about homesteading things, a surprise session on how to capture bee swarms happened, and we even got to be intimately involved with a real aquaponics installation. It was a good time, and we hope that the relationships forged at this event will serve all those who were here well for years to come. Make it a great week! Song; Cilly Song, by Sauce

What are you afraid of? What is the worst that can happen? What keeps you up at night. Join me today as we take a little look under the hood of our fears. Announcements: Rabbit processing class May 2nd 10am Email Emily Morse Deposit of $20 required to hold your spot via Venmo or PayPal LFTN MEMBERS ONLY WEBINAR: April 27, 7pm CT, Relocation Roundtable (LivingFreeinTennessee.com) Next week will be replays. Tales from the Prepper Pantry GSD Weekend from the pantry and garden: Charcuterie, stew, eggs and bacon, tacos Honey season will be here soon Skipped the April resupply – working toward quarterly Restocking Mullein leaves (Sinus tea: Mullein, mint, ginger) Operation Independence $50 drywall Solar Water Heater is up and running (going to add a timer at some point) Main topic of the Show: What are you afraid of? Yesterday, as I watched my neighbor totter on a ladder while fastening roofing metal on the roof of a tools shed, I thought about safety. I really do not like to be on wobbly ladders. So much so that tall tasks do not get done unless I find someone else to do them. So much so that I have been pricing out scaffolding so that I can do more things on my taller properties. I just don't feel safe up there on a wobbly ladder. And safety is they key. As I watched Knighthawk on that ladder yesterday I realized that people have a strong need to feel safe. In an idea world, even as we are being raised as children, we learn to feel safe at night under comfy blankets, we swaddle our babies so they feel safe, we are driven by fear of not having shelter or food to find jobs and make money to pay for our safety. We develop the odd fear of crossing roads, going outside, bees, spiders, snakes because we fear what may happen to us if something goes wrong. As I thought about safety, I realized that many of the decisions we make are driven by this desire for safety – and sometimes that is good and sometimes that is bad. We stop and look before we cross the road for fear of being hurt or killed by a car. Or, we choose the wrong life partner because we are afraid to be alone. These two fears are a little different though when you take a closer look: The one is not really a fear response, but rather an understanding of consequences and the action that needs to be taken to avoid a negative one. In essence, you have looked at the fear of being hurt or killed, understood how to avoid it, erased the fear, and developed a way of interacting with cars and roads that is healthy. The second example is a different story: you have not addressed your fear, you have fed it. You have taken the fear of being alone and given it power over your ability to make the best decision for yourself. Yes – I am putting a value judgement here on choosing to be with someone who is not the right someone because you are more afraid of being alone than you are of being enduringly unhappy in your partnership. Can you make lemonade out of lemons? Sure. But what would be different if you addressed your underlying fear and came up to the same decision? Would you do something different? And if so, would it be a better long term outcome? Let's look at some examples of fear and what drives them – Afraid to Fly Story. (So you do not fly) Death/Being Injured – But why? Leaving loved ones unsupported – fix this – Unknown ---harder to address. Find the why and address it. >Death/Being Injured (things that make it happen vs death itself) Afraid of Ending Up Alone (So you choose to be with or stay with an unhealthy arrangement) – But why? 1. Discovery in silence of things about yourself you need to fix. 2. No one to take care of you when you are ill (see fear of death). Afraid of Spiders, etc (So you alter your world when they show up. Bee story). 1. See fear of death. Failure. I will build this wrong, not be successful in my presentation, etc. workshop example. (So you say no to opportunities). But why are you afraid? (1. Lose income. (See fear of death) 2. Lose respect of loved ones. (see fear of death) Being Wrong About Something – freezing green beans. What is the worst that can happen? (See failure) Being awkward around people – acceptance – see fear of being alone. The house break in/camping alone/ walking at night. See how most of these fears are the same fear? See how they can grossly alter important decisions? It is really interesting how fear can drive either good or bad depending on how far you have thought it through. Depending on if you have addressed the underlying problem. You always hear people say things like "Get right with God" so that you can move on. How about we get right with ourselves about mortality and really understand what the consequences are that we fear. Those unnamed things that we do not want to leave undone, unsupported, or unsaid. We talk about how freedom is a choice here – but so if fear. You choose whether to embrace fear as a positive tool toward deeper understanding or forward momentum. Or we choose to let fear stop us from taking advantage of opportunities, put ourselves in unhealthy situations, and more. I mean thing about how much easier it is to feed a chocolate addiction that run the risk of failing to take control of your dietary intake? If you never try, you never fail. And yet, if you use the fear of an early death with diabetes and decide to take on your chocolate addiction and live healthier you end up in a better place don't you? So we all feel fear and like most emotions, it can be used for good in our lives to empower us to be the best we can, to take care of people and things we love – or we can let it color our decision to just try that one rabbit processing workshop idea we had. So what are you afraid of and how are you going to handle it? Make it a great week! GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

Today is a thought of the walk on being always available. What is the thought of the walk? Well, every so often I take my dogs for a walk. This clears the mind and opens me up for thought. These short, one-topic episodes are simply my way to share thoughts with you and invite your feedback. Schedule for the next two weeks. Webinar on April 27, 2021, 7pm CT: Relocation Roundtable Main topic of today's show: TOTW on Availability The text message comes in and my notices are off for the night. I have no idea it happened. The next morning when I wake up, what has started as an unanswered question has ended with an apology for offending me. But I am not offended - I was just asleep. I reply with that information. This happens to me about 4 times a week. It is why my phone has silent hours programmed into it. It happens when I do not answer emails immediately. It happens when I do not pick up the phone. We have come to expect the people we are seeking to reach immediately and if we do not, we tell ourselves a story about why. We allow our insecurities to taint the story toward the other party either being angry, offended, or dead. Our story is usually wrong. Always Available. The expectation is of always available. This unhealthy culture fostered by tech giants, buy the devices that were supposed to set us free, and by an increasingly entitled population. Saturday night at midnight, you realize something you bought on Amazon is broken and you hop online to return it. You use their customer support chat feature and someone processed the refund right away. You post something for sale on Facebook marketplace and someone sends you a message at 2 in the morning. By the time you wake up, Facebook has reminded you to answer it multiple times. Being always available is an expectation for some but it is also at the root of the following things: Taking too much time to do something due to multiple interruptions Inability to sleep/get to sleep at night Loss of closeness in relationships with our children, and pretty much anyone we spend time with Inability to create space for mental and spiritual development Getting fat Car accidents Neglecting that which is most important It is one thing to be the person who is paid to be "always available" on night shift for a set period of time. It is quite another to be always available in every moment of your every day. We sometimes look fondly at the past and romanticize how it was back then. But on the topic of being always available, the 80s had something going for them: the person you were trying to reach had to be home to pick up the phone. If they were on the toilet when it rang, it was unlikely they could finish and race to the wall into which the phone was plugged in to answer. We pretty much were accustomed to waiting for a callback without being offended. And there was a negative aspect to this: When the phone rang, you pretty much dropped everything to get it. And that set the foundation for an expectation of being always available as cell phones became ubiquitous in our lives. We took a thing that needed an immediate response to connect us to loved ones and information -- or you had to take more action to connect -- and we made it possible to carry said item in our pockets everywhere without removing the expectation that we immediately respond to calls. Then we added text. Then email. Then calendar notices. Then chat apps and social media. The cellphone is basically a tiny, mobile computer at this point, not really just a phone and the expectation is that because we can carry it around, we should respond to any of the 20 or so ways people have to reach us. And this is causing a terrible communication problem. If you can reach someone in 20 ways, you might as well not reach them at all because you are now depending on their built-in computer -- the brain -- to remember that chat you had, or the text you sent, or that long email they skimmed, or your comment on facebook. Always available has transformed into -- always available on all ways. This is not reasonable. This is not good for you or me. This is one of those places where you can redefine the expectation in your lie and find yourself with more time in the garden, better relationships with those around you, and fewer dropped balls. Just stop being always available. Change it to reasonably available. Let those closest to you know how you set it up. Then enforce the methods. Eventually folks will no longer expect a returned text at 2am or 9pm or whenever you go into silent mode. Eventually folks will catch on that you do not have email conversations via SMS. Eventually people will learn more efficient ways to interact with you -- and from there with others. But it is a retraining effort and the retraining starts with no one other than you. Today, I joked with the rednecks that I was scheduling my daily breakdown for 4pm today and that I would keep them informed of my breakdowns which will happen for about an hour a day between now and April 25. This is because the to do list is overwhelming to get ready for the workshop -- it is also totally doable, just overwhelming. And while they took it as a joke it really isn't. I have to find a way to release the pent-up emotions of this large project. So at 4pm today, I will drop everything, turn off all notifications for an hour, demand that no one talk to me unless talked to, and I will rhinoceros through some seemingly non-important task that is very important to me. I will not be available during this time and if the Pope dies, I will have no idea it happened. If there is a family emergency, I will not know it until the hour is over. And you know what? Any action I would take because of those two examples will not really change because I find out up to 60 minutes later that there was a problem -- even if I miss my change to say goodbye to someone in their last moments. If that person and I are close, they will know I love them and I will know they know and while I will feel a pang of regret, that fear of that pang should not keep me from creating a more balanced life by turning off the expectations of being always available. And if you are at a place in your life where there is one person for whom you really need to be available, program that into your phone. You see, I lied a little. There are a few people who if they sms me when my phone is in do not disturb mode can get through anyway. And they know it. And they love me and would not abuse that power. And that is how you can take technology that is harming your ability to focus, your productivity and your sanity and USE IT to create a balance between availability and performance. And that is the epitome of the problem is the solution, isn't it? Membership Plug Make it a great week! GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

Today, we will take a deeper dive into things that hold you back, why they do, and what to do next. That's right - Spring has sprung, Easter has passed, the year is 30% behind us, so what are you waiting for? Such a simple question and yet one that often gets in our way. Tomorrow at 11CT I am Livestreaming – check out her channel here. Tales from the Prepper Pantry Quarterly Freezer Audit Easter supper from the pantry: roast beef, sweet potatoes, cheesy broccoli, gravy, superb fresh salad Feta batch one is being launched this week - and just like that the pantry season has changed from use up to fill up Two people vs one perspective (Mama Sauce is in town) Featured forages: Spring salad Wild mustard Watercress Nettle Deadnettle Chickweed Operation Independence Bees swarmed -- honey season is nigh Workshop prep is going really well Main topic of the Show: What Are You Waiting For? I am one of those people that folks tend to quickly trust with personal information. They will run things by me that they may not share with others. One time, I asked Tactical, why do people tell me things? He said - well because it is easy to tell you hard things because you don't judge. But that isn't entirely true. Maybe I do not judge things the traditionally judgemental way that people do when they hear about past trauma or trials. Those things are what form us into the good people we can all be today. I don;t even care if someone once was a terrible person and has changed over time and wants to confess that. actions speak louder than words and if I can see that they are not a bad actor. But the idea that I do not judge is not exactly right. I DO judge, and sometimes pretty harshly. Like all of us, I have very limited time to invest in projects, people and creative pursuits. That means that if I even sense for a moment that someone is not serious about doing the thing that they want my help with, I have a hard time giving time to them, even when offered money for consulting. This is the curse of the consultant who is motivated by helping people succeed rather than by earning as much money as possible. So really, I may be the most judgemental person you know on some ways. I just don;t see a reason to inflict my perspective on someone who isn't ready to hear it. As humans, we can be very fickle, facing depression, fatigue. Committing to things that we did not realize would take so much time. Wanting more more more. Yet some of us fall prey to what are you waiting for syndrome to a much higher degree than others. Last year, I lost 20 lbs, doubled my business after it looking like it was going to be cut in half instead, and managed to pay off my debt faster than originally thought and it boiled down to one question I would ask almost every day: What are you waiting for? We are so easily distracted, aren't we? What is it that you really want to do? That is often the underlying cause of this syndrome. If I do not start I will not find out that I do not want this thing I think I want. To which I ask - so what? Start. Find out. Worst thing that can happen is you deciode to abandon course and do something else. These are all things that make us wait: Setting up situations where you need someone else to do something before you can move forward and they are not delivering.a) You can't find the drywaller to do the drywall repairs (Wood chip story) The time is not right because of money/resources/economy You do not have enough time to do it You are not ready to handle high volume Your logo/marketing/business structure/website is not built Every time you try to learn or do the thing, you run into a brick wall (NFT) I can't find it I don;t like to do it - eat that frog The flip It is not magic, it is perspective. Changing you perspective will not solve every ill, but it will do one very important thing: change the programming in your brain so that that powerful computer you walk around with every day has time to come up with a solution. Emergency find is low? What are you waiting for? Sell some crap, drive uber, take that overtime, do something to fill it back up. Debt keeping you from scouting out on your own? That's great because it is easy to solve when you decide to solve it. Your divorce messing with your head, finances and turning your world upside down? Of course it is! What will you make of yourself through it? How will you address the turmoil you cannot stop? But is it causing you to wait until it is done to start making the life you want? Why? What are you waiting for? Some magical court document confirming the situation? That could take weeks or it could take years. Meanwhile, you could be doing something to pick up and build your next masterpiece. What are you waiting for? Someone else to decide? Screw that -- you decide. This life is all about you decide. You choose the life you want to live, or be miserable living a life someone else chooses for you. Do you really want that kind of control over your head? I know I don't. That is why we say Make it a great week here. That is why asking yourself what are you waiting for can help move you forward That is why when you hear yourself saying I can't or I wish I could, or someday, the better approaches are: I won't, or I am going to, or in order to do that in 4 years, I can do this now, or actually I don't really want that in my life. And yes - stuff doesnt go as we planned, and it doesnt always go right. (Destroyed duplex apartment story) So what? Guys Spring has sprung, Easter has passed, the year is 30% behind us, so what are you waiting for? Such a simple question yet it can be hard to implement. But really, What are you waiting for?

Boring but pays the bills... I've been amazed at how red hot our business has been during whatever covid name you want to use... The commercial buildings everywhere are empty. Owners are taking this time to do a bunch of deferred maintenance but that is starting to run out. New buildings are being rushed to completion and new ones are coming out of the ground. Not sure why... However, our major suppliers are about to be completely out of computer chips to build controllers. The problem is Fab plants around the world are idle. A secondary issue is there are billions of dollars in product floating around on ships that can't unload to due covid restrictions. Industry, in general, may come to a screeching halt soon. Not wanting to focus on the negative, I feel that many people have already forgotten last years pain. I think we need to stay positive and continue to focus on shoring up our defences to be ready for the next wave. I'm pretty sure the powers that be are engineering the next wave of restrictions. they can't help it, they crave the power... Just a thought Membership Plug Make it a great week! GUYS!
