Good morning! Welcome to the Keto Mom page. My name is Stephanie, and we are going to talk about "Curiosity". We're about to wrap up this book, "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John Maxwell. Always remember that the power of your mindset is going to help you in any area of your life. My hope is that we would be done by the end of this month, so we can start diving into habits and systems by the 1st of February.

We're going to finish this book first because we finish what we start. We talked about goals, visions, the things you want, and then taking action. We also talked about finishing what you've started. It's exciting to start something, but the middle can seem mundane. You should look at every single day as a learning opportunity. Do not be bored, keep going and finish what you've started. So we're going to finish the book, we've got a couple of chapters left.

"𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀".

How many of you believe that you're good at asking questions? My husband is incredible at asking questions. If you ever had a conversation with him, or if you've listened to him talk to people. He's not the one who usually gives advice, but he asks questions to spur on people's minds and their mindset.

"Curious people possess a thirst for knowledge and they're interested in life, people ideas, experiences and events. They live in a constant state of wanting to learn more".

"𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆. 𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗜𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 𝗜𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀”

What does this have to do with fat loss?

A lot! Because you're learning and growing your mindset.

It's as simple as asking, "Why do I do, the things I do, every day?"

• Is it because I grew up doing that?

• Is it because it's a habit?

• Is it because my grandma did that?

• Is it because my mom did that?

• Is it because of the environment that we're in?

• Is it because it's convenient?

𝗪𝗛𝗬?

This is a great question to ask yourself, to make sure you're on the right course. How many of you have kids, who always ask you, why? And how many of you caught yourself not answering your kid’s questions? Oftentimes, we take our children's curiosity away because we don't answer the questions. Have you ever said, “Because I said so?”.

One of the biggest things I've realized is you never want to take their creativity away. You never want to have them stop asking questions. You want them to live a life of curiosity. You want them to ask questions.

If there's anything you take away out of today's conversation, it should be, when somebody asks you "Why", you should answer the question or seek to find the answer.

"All meaningful and lasting change starts first in the imagination and then works its way out". ~Albert Einstein

"𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗺, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸".

"𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱. 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗹𝘆”

You cannot do things on the outside in a way that is inconsistent with how you think on the inside. That is why your mindset is so important. If you've got goals to look or feel a certain way, you're going to have to work on the inside first, and then it will show on the outside.

"𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁, 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻, 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲”

“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲”

Your attitude is super important on how you approach life.

• Are you thankful?

• Are you crabby?

• Did you wake up today on the right side of the bed?

• Did you wake up today with an "I get to" or "I have to" mindset?

𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄

"𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 '𝗪𝗵𝘆' 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲”

“𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄. 𝗧𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄, 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲".

Doing this requires 3 things:

• First, you must wake up with an attitude of openness to something new. You must see the day as having multiple opportunities to learn.

• Second, you must keep your eyes and ears open as you go through the day. Most unsuccessful people accept their day, tuning things out, simply hoping to endure the day. Successful people seize their day, they focus on it, they ignore distractions. Growing people remain focused.

• Third, is “Reflection. It does little good to see something new without taking time to think about it. It does no good to hear something new and never apply it. I found the best way to learn something new is to take time at the end of the day to ask yourself a question that prompts you to think about what you've learned. Remember, experience is not the best teacher, evaluating experience is.

What did you learn? Take something that you've learned in any part of your day, reflect on it, take action on it, and apply it to your life.

𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹

“𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝘆 '𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻'. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀.

If they fail, they've learned from it, they're going to implement something different, and they're going to keep going.

Alright! We will be done in a couple of days, and then we'll dive into the next book, "The Miracle Morning". My hope is for you to ask more questions, and if somebody asks you a question, then answer them. Be curious, be like a child. Maybe your takeaway should be more like your children in the curiosity aspect.

Do you think my husband wants to come and say anything? So my husband is going to share a few things on his mind.

"What's up keto mom community? The biggest thing that I would encourage you all with, is curiosity is powerful. Curiosity, asking the right questions, and being consistent, are things that are super important".

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 & 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄

"Yesterday, we learned about having a plan and putting it into play by having a place and a time set aside. Oftentimes, people usually fall short. People usually perish because they lack a vision or a plan".

I want to encourage you to have a plan, and to be curious. To constantly pursue the things that you're going after"

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗳 "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀?

"I think it's brilliant. It is a tool to help you. It's not the living word or the Bible. The house story is remarkable. It gives you perspective and I think that's something that you can also learn from people".

"If you want to know the best reflection of your current life? Look at your children. Your children are a product of the environment that you've created for them. And it's interesting, because sometimes when we run into people in different places, they'll say a couple of different things. Some of them say, 'You just wait till your kids get older. And a long time ago, that used to really frustrate us until we started realizing, that's their story and that's their perspective. That's how they raised their children. That is not our story".

"Maybe that's what they were taught, and they didn't know or decide to learn something new. That's not the story are writing. I'll just give you an example, last night, it was funny, it was bad. So last night we were in an Airbnb down in Florida. It's a beautiful home and I really love how these people put this house together. The room that our girls are staying in has two bunk beds. We have four daughters, so that works perfectly".

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀

While we we're getting ready for bed last night, all of a sudden, I hear this shriek, this scream, it was like a deathly scream. So dad defense moves go full blown. I'm thinking all SWAT and all karate, cobra Kai, I'm going all in. I'm about to protect my family. I'm thinking this could be my moment.

I walked in there and I could see it on their faces, Emery, which is our twelve-year-old she's the one who screamed. Amelia, our eldest is the one who's laughing, and the other two younger ones knew I was not happy.

They were just being silly, and Amelia was spraying Emery with water when she came out of the bathroom. I probably would have handled it differently, and I'm still navigating how I feel about it. I was just really worked up because I went into full protective dad mode.

𝗜 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼

The point is, 'Watch your words'. Because I told the girls that I was disappointed on how they acted.

I really thought I was going to beat somebody up. My heart rate went through the roof, and I told them that they took a year off of my life. I even said, "Whenever I'm going to die, just know that I should have had one more year, because of what happened tonight".

He spoke it and that's not good. We should talk about the power of our words. That is the number one thing we teach our kids. I've got to rework that and I'm going to pull back those words. We talked about asking questions, and being curious. Why do you do things in your life, and if your children are a reflection of you.

Here's the morning miracle though, I woke up to a text message. And it was our daughter apologizing, she was apologizing. So again, if you want to know what's up with your life? Just look at your children. Yes, you can all get frustrated and we're all in the pursuit of better. But the reality is your kids are a product of your environment.

I'm grateful and thankful to have had a great conversation with the kids this morning.

They apologized and I apologized. And I hope that's an encouragement to you all.

Anyways, we are going to talk about the power of our words, not today, but a different day. Like a full-on-blown topic of just the power of your words. Because we talk about mindset, we can give you all the tips and tricks on how to eat keto. We can give you the tactical tools and we can say it's important to read, it's important to learn, it's important to grow, it's important to take action.

But one of the biggest things that people do not focus on, is their words. If you're speaking life and death over your family, over yourself or over any situation. Maybe we'll dive into that before we start the next book.

Alright! Just continue to follow along, every single morning except the weekends, depending on how our days go. We appreciate you guys. Always reach out if you have any questions, and continue to tune in. We'll see you later, bye everybody!
