  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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Today we are talking about mantras or incantations or
• 0:35
  things that you say to yourself repetitively that help you move
• 0:40
  forward. Now I'm a big, big, huge
• 0:43
  proponent of these because we are programming ourselves
• 0:46
  constantly. It's a never ending process that
• 0:49
  we do, although we realize that or not is another thing.
• 0:52
  But we are always programming ourselves.
• 0:54
  And one of those important pieces of programming ourselves
• 0:57
  is to recognize what exactly are we saying to ourselves.
• 1:01
  And it can be a very tricky process to figure this out
• 1:05
  because quite frankly, we are very unconscious about what
• 1:09
  we're saying in our head, how we're saying it.
• 1:11
  And it's, it is a daunting task to pay attention to it.
• 1:16
  And I'm the first one to admit because my, I'm so Uber creative
• 1:21
  that my brain does not stop. I mean, just coming out to do
• 1:24
  the podcast this morning. And since it's, you know, a, a,
• 1:27
  a lovely Sunday morning, it's one of those things for me
• 1:31
  that's like, oh, I should do this or I could do this.
• 1:34
  And I've got a boatload of plants sitting to be pot to be
• 1:39
  put into the ground, all different kinds of butterfly
• 1:41
  bushes that I had been waiting for forever.
• 1:44
  I happened to stumble into them, In case anyone's wanting to
• 1:47
  know, and you're a plant fan, there is a butterfly Bush that
• 1:50
  grows giant and it is called Black Knight.
• 1:53
  And this thing is a magnet for butterflies, bees.
• 1:59
  It's astoundingly productive when it comes to putting out all
• 2:04
  the different flowers. It stays for a long time.
• 2:07
  And I had one many years ago when I lived in Rhode Island.
• 2:10
  And it, it just drew in butterflies.
• 2:12
  So I've always thought about them.
• 2:15
  But this year I had a real intention of saying, OK, I need
• 2:18
  to track that down. And about 3 weeks ago, I started
• 2:21
  focusing on it. And I kept saying to myself, so
• 2:24
  happy I found the Black Knight, so happy I found the Black
• 2:27
  Knight. Well, again, that's an
• 2:28
  incantation that I'm giving myself.
• 2:30
  And lo and behold, yesterday I walked into a garden center and
• 2:34
  they had four of them which led me and they were on sale.
• 2:38
  And then they had other butterfly bushes which led me to
• 2:40
  more flowers. So 2 wagons later and there are
• 2:43
  a lot of plants to be planted. But in in any event, that's an
• 2:46
  example of a positive incantation that I'm telling
• 2:49
  myself. I'm so grateful that for these
• 2:51
  butterfly bushes. And I literally do that.
• 2:53
  I walk around whatever I'm working on manifesting.
• 2:56
  I walk around incanting that I already have it and that it's so
• 2:59
  wonderful. And then I somehow they show up.
• 3:03
  So a positive way to do mantras and incantations.
• 3:07
  But there are many versions of this that can hurt us when
• 3:12
  they're negative, like when we have these beliefs about things
• 3:15
  that are happening. Oh, they're always late.
• 3:16
  Oh, they're always late. Oh, they're always late.
• 3:18
  And guess what? They're late.
• 3:20
  We're encanting the things that we don't want to have happen as
• 3:24
  much as we are probably more than we are encanting the things
• 3:28
  we do want to have happen. So this is really something that
• 3:33
  when you start focusing on what are the mantras you're telling
• 3:36
  yourself, you know, oh, I don't work out.
• 3:38
  I don't work out. I it's too hard.
• 3:40
  I my knees hurt when I walk. These are all versions of
• 3:44
  mantras that we say to ourselves, disempowering ones
• 3:47
  nonetheless, but they are beliefs that are coming up
• 3:51
  repetitively that we say to ourselves.
• 3:53
  Therefore, my friends, they are mantras.
• 3:56
  They are incantations and they, they, they know, take that in
• 4:01
  very seriously into manifesting what you're looking for.
• 4:04
  I mean, as Bruce Lee said, be careful about what words you use
• 4:07
  because it is called spelling for a reason.
• 4:09
  You are casting spells with the words you use and it is very,
• 4:14
  very true. Whatever you call it, spelling,
• 4:18
  mantras, incantations, beliefs, it, they are all.
• 4:22
  If they are repetitive in your mind and you keep doing it, you
• 4:26
  will cast it and you will make it happen.
• 4:30
  So it is incredibly important to look at it.
• 4:33
  So a great exercise to do is to stop and pause and say, oh, am I
• 4:37
  doing this from a positive frame or a negative frame?
• 4:41
  Like how is that working? What, what part of this am I
• 4:44
  doing in a way that's resourceful?
• 4:46
  And what part of it am I doing in a way that is very
• 4:48
  unresourceful? And when you start to pull back
• 4:51
  and look at that, you'll be able to get a real sense of, oh boy,
• 4:56
  I'm doing this far too much in a way that I should not be doing
• 5:00
  it. And then you'll get an idea of,
• 5:02
  OK, I need to come up with better ways to control what I'm
• 5:08
  focusing on. So I love to wear a white string
• 5:11
  on my left wrist. And when I do that, I'm really
• 5:15
  focusing on keep it simple. Pay attention.
• 5:17
  When I look at the string, what am I thinking?
• 5:19
  When I look at the string, what am I thinking?
• 5:21
  So it's a question to help me align my thoughts and it works.
• 5:26
  So give it a try. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:29
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:31
  Bye.
