• 0:01
  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good evening from the chicken coop as I tuck the
• 0:31
  girls in. And we are going to ask one very
• 0:34
  important question today. What would my future self thank
• 0:39
  me for today? I love this question and I
• 0:42
  honestly don't ask it enough because if I did, I can promise
• 0:46
  you I would come up with some really cool things.
• 0:48
  And I was flipping through an old journal today, found it in
• 0:51
  there and I was like, Oh, I just love that question because it
• 0:55
  puts me in that future pacing, which I love and is very
• 0:58
  addictive. And it gets me in that long term
• 1:02
  thinking, but it also aligns me with being thoughtful about what
• 1:08
  I have to do now to get there. Do you see where I'm going with
• 1:11
  this? Because sometimes we future
• 1:13
  pace, but we future pace with anxiety.
• 1:17
  So what I mean by that is we think about the things we want
• 1:19
  to do and we get anxious that we're behind and what we're
• 1:22
  missing out on and the things we're not doing as opposed to,
• 1:26
  huh, if I just did this a little bit differently and I said, you
• 1:29
  know, what would my future self thank me for that I, I could set
• 1:34
  and play now or do today now and take action for it.
• 1:37
  It puts us back in this moment at the same time and you know,
• 1:42
  as if it's already happened because the future self is
• 1:44
  thanking us. So it's doing things perfectly
• 1:47
  aligned with law of attraction and actually focusing on, you
• 1:51
  know, the energetic patterns of attraction, law and law of
• 1:55
  attraction and then, you know, living it in the moment.
• 1:59
  So right now I know that my future self would thank me for
• 2:04
  learning to shoot these videos in in the habit of doing it
• 2:08
  every day. Because I got to tell you, it's
• 2:11
  one of the biggest things that's difficult for me because I'm so
• 2:13
  used to doing everything that I need to do and not filming it,
• 2:18
  that taking the time to actually stop and film things is not my
• 2:22
  norm. It's just not my norm.
• 2:24
  And even though I'm out with the girls, like right now, I'm out,
• 2:27
  I'm tucking them in. I'm standing here recording for
• 2:30
  you guys so we can get it out at a decent time in the day.
• 2:33
  I've got them all tucked in. I, I've never, I thought of
• 2:36
  this. I've never filmed this process
• 2:38
  like coming out and just doing the head, head count, making
• 2:41
  sure everybody's here, showing everybody what it's like.
• 2:43
  And that made me go, huh, you know what, this could be
• 2:46
  interesting to somebody or walking around and like watching
• 2:50
  all the the spring things that are happening around here,
• 2:53
  getting ready for planting the gardens.
• 2:56
  I mean, there's so much work to do everywhere.
• 2:58
  Like everywhere you look, there's farm work to do and I
• 3:02
  could be filming all these things, but instead I think, oh,
• 3:06
  that's boring or oh, that's no good.
• 3:09
  And I know my future self would say just film it all.
• 3:12
  You don't even, what if you don't even show it to anybody?
• 3:13
  What if you just film it? You don't even have to worry
• 3:16
  about that. Just film it just so you have
• 3:18
  stuff to share on the YouTube channel.
• 3:20
  And I know she would be right. I know she would be in that
• 3:24
  headspace of being 100% right. But because I don't think about
• 3:28
  it and I'm not asking the right question of myself, I'm not
• 3:31
  doing it. So it's something when you
• 3:34
  change the quality of your questions, you change the
• 3:37
  quality of your life. That's just a known fact in the
• 3:41
  self development world. I mean, if you ask a better
• 3:43
  question, you put your your mind in a better direction.
• 3:46
  But the truth is we just ask crappy questions.
• 3:49
  And I used to ask really, really crappy questions many years ago
• 3:54
  and I've elevated them. But that doesn't mean I'm, I'm
• 3:57
  like, you know, completely out of the woods with them.
• 3:59
  I can't certainly refrain all the time from asking crappy
• 4:02
  questions. I assure you of that.
• 4:04
  I don't usually say them out loud in my outdoor voice
• 4:07
  anymore, but they are definitely on that track of the indoor
• 4:11
  voice. So they poke at me, they niggle
• 4:14
  at me, they make me be something that I don't want to be when I
• 4:18
  ask the wrong question and then I have to stop myself and
• 4:21
  reframe it. Well, this question is
• 4:24
  definitely one that's going to help me set and pace this big
• 4:28
  goal for this year of really launching this YouTube channel
• 4:31
  and being able to not just do the podcast, but to do videos so
• 4:34
  that everybody can see what we're doing and how life is with
• 4:37
  the girls and all the other things we have going on here.
• 4:40
  So I think, I think what's most important to remember when
• 4:45
  you're asking questions is to really dig in and find out what
• 4:48
  questions am I asking myself so that you know how to get around
• 4:52
  them. I used to have many, many years
• 4:55
  ago before I got into self development and I was just
• 4:59
  riddled with anxiety daily. I used to ask myself this crappy
• 5:03
  of crappy questions. How much more could this suck or
• 5:07
  this couldn't suck more than it does?
• 5:09
  I'd make that statement and Oh my God, guess what?
• 5:13
  The universe served up crap on a plate every time it happened
• 5:17
  because I would say it and then I would attract it, say it and
• 5:20
  attract it, say it and attract it.
• 5:21
  So be careful of the questions you ask, be observant, ask the
• 5:25
  right questions, and really kind of look back at this.
• 5:28
  One particular little tidbit of information that you have total
• 5:32
  control over is what would my future self thank me for today?
• 5:38
  What would it be? All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:41
  you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:44
  Bye.
