  Kim Johnson, your creative strategist and master mindset
• 0:08

• 0:18
  Join Kim every morning from one of her favorite happy places,
• 0:21
  her chicken coop along with all her chickens.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So you might hear a hawk off in the distance.
• 0:33
  So the girls all ran underneath because they could hear a hawk
• 0:36
  off in the distance, which makes me laugh.
• 0:39
  I'm right here, but they still do their hiding thing and I'm
• 0:41
  really proud of them that they get that.
• 0:43
  Anyway, today we are speaking about the fact that.
• 0:49
  In this phase of the year, in this time of fall, when things
• 0:53
  start to really slow down in nature, it seems to slow down
• 0:58
  anyway. From to us it seems to slow
• 1:00
  down. We have to start looking at the
• 1:02
  the signs of nature to say what what am I supposed to be doing
• 1:06
  right now? What are the spoke about it the
• 1:08
  other day, the symbols that we can be looking at.
• 1:10
  So as the days become a little bit shorter and the nights
• 1:14
  become a little bit longer and cooler.
• 1:16
  And we're getting out blankets and sitting by fireplaces and
• 1:19
  things like that. It's time for introspection.
• 1:23
  It's time for looking at things that we maybe haven't looked at
• 1:27
  in a while or thought about things we maybe haven't thought
• 1:29
  about in a little while. And we need to change our
• 1:32
  patterns and start to dig in and say okay, What do I need to be
• 1:35
  introspective about? What do I want to be
• 1:38
  introspective about and really being honest about?
• 1:42
  You're where, you know, you want to head for the last part of the
• 1:45
  year. You know, we've got a few months
• 1:47
  left and some of us really want to be able to finish up strong.
• 1:51
  Others of us want to say, I've already done all my work and
• 1:54
  it's my time to sit back and harvest.
• 1:56
  They've worked really hard through the spring and the
• 2:00
  summer and now they're just like, OK, time to harvest and
• 2:02
  sit back and say OK, now I can just, you know, really revel in
• 2:07
  my winds and then move forward for the winter.
• 2:11
  It all depends on you, but you can't do it until you decide
• 2:14
  you're going to get very introspective.
• 2:16
  So I thought it would be helpful to understand some great
• 2:19
  exercises and some great questions around this because
• 2:23
  they'll lead you in the right direction.
• 2:25
  So first and foremost, it's always good there.
• 2:28
  There's a phase of debriefing, as I like to refer to it as if
• 2:32
  you debrief yourself at any point in time, you always get
• 2:35
  great information. So there's a pattern to it that
• 2:38
  usually is very helpful in most situations.
• 2:40
  And the first part of it is you know what was great?
• 2:44
  You. So you literally ask what was
• 2:46
  great, Not like, you know? How did we do?
• 2:49
  You're forcing yourself to look and say, I know I did great
• 2:53
  things, so let me ask myself what was great?
• 2:55
  And make a big list. Make a big list of all the
• 2:58
  things that were great because you have them.
• 3:00
  Trust me. And if you're sitting there
• 3:01
  going, I don't have anything that was great.
• 3:03
  I guarantee you, I don't care if it's just that you organized
• 3:05
  your damn sock drawer, It was great.
• 3:07
  You got it done. If you cleaned out a bin or a
• 3:12
  part of your garage, if you got rid of old clothes, all of those
• 3:15
  things are great because you're making headway for.
• 3:18
  New things. So that was great.
• 3:20
  The next phase of it is asking yourself, what could have been
• 3:24
  better? Not.
• 3:25
  What did I screw up? What did I do wrong?
• 3:28
  Make sure you understand what I'm saying.
• 3:30
  What could have been better. Yeah, there are always things
• 3:33
  that we screw up. There are always things that we
• 3:35
  could have done differently. It it, it's just that it's like,
• 3:39
  but what could have been better? It asks, and it assumes that
• 3:42
  you've got things really clearly.
• 3:45
  Stated in your head on the law of attraction because you know
• 3:49
  you want to attract good and better.
• 3:52
  So please ask the questions the right way and then you will
• 3:55
  find. Different answers than you would
• 3:58
  if you say, Oh well, what sucked?
• 4:00
  Now if you're sitting there and you say, hey Kim, I just really
• 4:03
  want to ask what sucked and I want to write it down, then go
• 4:06
  ahead and do it. As long as you don't stay in
• 4:09
  that headspace because that's what's bad about it, you can
• 4:12
  attract more of what sucked. So it's very protective, be very
• 4:17
  protective. I should say when you are doing
• 4:19
  this process, you don't want to stay in the wrong energy.
• 4:23
  Okay. And then the last question that
• 4:25
  you want to ask yourself is what can I do to close the gap
• 4:29
  between those two things? What was great?
• 4:32
  What could have been better? What can I do to close the gap
• 4:35
  or can I do to be different? What can I do to make sure I
• 4:38
  make a different outcome? Whatever it is, whatever it is,
• 4:42
  you can do it by asking that question.
• 4:45
  And again, notice it's a what question, not a how question,
• 4:49
  It's a what question. What can I do to to?
• 4:52
  Make a different And sometimes when you ask these questions,
• 4:56
  the first time you ask them, there's going to be a I don't
• 4:59
  know, I don't know, I don't know.
• 5:01
  I get that that's normal and you just have to go okay.
• 5:05
  I'll wait and I'll ask again in a little while and ask it again
• 5:07
  and ask it again and soon enough you will get an answer.
• 5:10
  And you can trick yourself in this pattern of saying, well, if
• 5:13
  you did know, what would it be? And sometimes that helps.
• 5:17
  Every little bit of being this thoughtful with it really clears
• 5:22
  up the fog in your head. So play the game, see what you
• 5:26
  can find out. Go into that state of
• 5:29
  introspection of it and asking the right questions and you'll
• 5:33
  be surprised at how great it comes around and helps you.
• 5:36
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll
• 5:38
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
