What's happening is JT listening. To the carnivals. Welcome to the J Chronicles podcast. And actually get to see my face today too. So if you're watching this mom hope this is. My good side and. It's all about positivity. I'm here today with Big Brothers Big Sisters Foundation and Jay out and Deb. How are you?

Guys doing well. Thanks so much for coming.

Oh, my God, no thank. You, man, this is important and. We're on the Cape and keeping. Eyes all over what we're talking about. Yeah, but how many people are needed? How many kids need a mentor? So we'll just set this up. Us a little bit of information. What's going.

So we're actually kicking off our campaign for the spring, called erase. The wait. There are about 72 kids as of today. So, you know another couple of. Weeks will be higher. Kids, girls and boys that are waiting for a mentor. So we're really trying to recruit adults to step up, have the community step up and. Be a mentor and be a positive. You know additional positive influence in these children's lives, and so we're really hoping to hear the word and get everybody out there to do it. I've done it in the past. It's a wonderful experience. I think the adults actually. Take a lot. More out of it than the little does.

Yeah, I bet. So now just so. May get involved.

He told the regional. Director for the Cape and Islands I work with Deb and the rest of the team to make sure that we're we're meeting the goals and you know, really putting our name out there for the kids who could benefit. From having a mentor.

This is good. So erase the weight. We're talking about right before, but you know before we. Started shooting in. But since you said I just from starting at 6% you said. What? When you first started?

So one of the big needs that we're seeing right now are for kids who are being raised by their grandparents or aunt and uncle. Yeah, non custodial adult. There's a huge increase in that. Absolutely. So right now that's number sent at 33% of our 400 kids.

There's a lot.

That's incredible, right?

It kind of helps steer us and and I I learned a while ago and after you know and reset myself when you're focusing too much on you know. Of the negative things and want to like share that negativity? All you do. Is just follow right into it. You know what I mean? So all the energy you spend on telling somebody else how bad they are or or did you hear about so and so? Or what about this one about that? Like all the energy you could be using for yourself? Oh my God, how far could you go? How much further could you go if you actually just took some of that same energy and put it on yourself and developing yourself? That's what I do. I had to do that and I gotta reset my fall.

What's happening message? JT, You're watching the chronicles. It is all about positivity. I love getting up early in the morning. I'm gonna tell you why in a second. The first, because they're deep breath men because they know so many guys just either egg getting up to go to work, or you're you're just getting home from work, or you're in the middle of the day, so they got. Deep breath. Let all that negativity out. From where you are right in your chair, in the car, in the bedroom, in the bathroom chair, have a deep breath. Let all that anger out and all that stress out and all that. Negativity out. One of the reasons why I love getting up early in the morning is because. Sometimes, especially now with everything going on and and you have to do this or you have to go here or or work or money or business or school. Just life. I get that anxiety sometimes. And you're calling, not Kitty. Not you, you're you're always. This is more things going on now, but you hear so much, that's why excuse me, I've had to to push my way. You know, pushing myself away from the news and TV and all. That stuff and. And focus more on me right now. Because I need to get. Myself back on the track. So I need that time in. The morning by myself. To to meditate to be focused to look at what I'm doing. You know, physically, emotionally, spiritually. You know and get myself where I want to go and start reading a little bit more. You know, picking up different different books of of self help and and different things like that because it's helped me in the past and now I need to. So I need to go back and revisit. What put you where you are right now? You know what helped you before? Maybe was a person that you spoke to maybe was maybe you start to listen to certain music, maybe started working out more and whatever you need to do. So I have to do that and reset myself to myself and that that pumped up that? OK, let's go. Let's go let's go mode. And I find myself being able to become stronger. You know, and you can't really talk about it to a lot of people because. Everybody has their own different. Different, you know thoughts, but to find out what works for you. Take a steps and maybe you don't tell anybody what you're going through, because that can confuse you a lot. Different ideas, different my whole man. You don't need to worry about that. Don't this is what this is where you're at. So you need to figure out what's important for you and do one thing at a time. OK, do one thing at a time and conquer that. Your future. What you do now? Determines the future a lot of ways. Take that time I'm going to be focused. I'm going to be set. I do it sometimes a couple times during the day. And you guys can. Do that and me. Getting up early and setting my tone for the day that helps me, so I've actually gotten up earlier so I could do this. Because I remember. How much better I felt when I did it that way? It's easy, 1520 minutes earlier than before. You have to go to work. Or before you have to get up. For the kids. For school or before you have class. Takes some time for you. No media, none of the outside stuff, just you. What kind of day do you want to have? What are you going to do? Follow through on what you said. Don't talk about it anymore, just focus and do it. Just go ahead and do it. Alright, you got this. I got this. We got this. I can't wait to see what else you're going to do. I can't wait to see what I'm going to do. I love you man. One love, one family, one community so love this video you like this video you share this video. It's a little bit longer video, I'm sorry if you don't have time, but maybe. You know what? Watch it. Later, alright, I love you guys, peace.

JT gives you the motivation to start your week off. This week we focus on restructuring. Take that part of your life: the bruise or the scar or the position you are not currently liking, and cut it off. Cut it out. Refocus and restructure your thinking to keep moving forward. Ask for help if you need it.

Weekday Motivation is here to set your intentions for the week and is an addition to full-length podcasts.

JT talks about taking time to put yourself first and how it is easy to get swept away and caught up in things that don't concern you. Take a good look this week at how you are spending your time.

Do you have someone chipping away at your time and worth?

How will you reclaim YOU this week?
