• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07

• 0:09
  happen to 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

• 0:20
  some. Joy into the world, so welcome
• 0:22
  to the. Coop and let's start your day
• 0:24
  off in a fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning from
• 0:29
  the chicken coop. It's Sunday, so a little bit of
• 0:32
  a later start because I could wait until the girls were up to
• 0:35
  record. So we are talking today about
• 0:39
  the fact that when change is taking place or change is
• 0:43
  indicated through emotions, sometimes you have to actually
• 0:48
  wait before you get started in the change.
• 0:52
  And what is the reason for that? Well, it's because the emotion
• 0:55
  you are currently in, the emotion that drove the change is
• 0:58
  not the one that's the best 1 to get you where you want to go
• 1:02
  next. As amazing as that may sound.
• 1:05
  Frustration, all the all the shuns, you know, I love to say
• 1:09
  that frustration, irritation, aggravation, all of those are
• 1:13
  here to help us understand change needs to take place.
• 1:18
  They're not the best ones to actually initiate the change.
• 1:22
  They are the ones that are the drivers for that period of time.
• 1:26
  But when you get to the point where you're ready to hit that
• 1:29
  button and say, OK, now I need to actually change.
• 1:32
  You need different drivers, You need different emotional
• 1:34
  drivers. So recently I'm in involved in
• 1:38
  helping somebody make some really big decisions.
• 1:41
  And there's been a lot of aggravation, frustration,
• 1:46
  depression, all of those things happening behind the scenes and
• 1:51
  really driving this person to say, OK, I 100% know I need to
• 1:57
  change. But what they're doing is
• 1:59
  they're staying in that same emotion and they're getting more
• 2:03
  hunkered in that emotion and then they're getting more and
• 2:07
  more and more aggravated, frustrated, depressed, all those
• 2:11
  things. And all of a sudden it gets to
• 2:14
  the point where I'm going to blow my world up.
• 2:16
  And it doesn't have to get to the point where you have to blow
• 2:19
  your world up. If you pay attention to the
• 2:21
  emotions early enough, you can actually make those shifts when
• 2:24
  you see that they're consistent, before it's at a breaking point,
• 2:28
  before you say I'm never going back to that job, I'm never
• 2:30
  talking to that person again. I'm never doing XYZ.
• 2:35
  You have to read the emotions sooner.
• 2:37
  And when you recognize that they're consistent, that's when
• 2:40
  you start to make your plan for change.
• 2:42
  And you make your plan for change through the eyes of
• 2:46
  saying, I am going to do this in the best emotion I can.
• 2:50
  And that best emotion would probably be creativity.
• 2:53
  It would probably be something that was really looking to help
• 2:57
  you grow whatever it was within yourself, your world that you're
• 3:02
  trying to grow. Inspiration, you know, is a
• 3:05
  great one to go to. Where am I inspired right now?
• 3:08
  There are a lot of different avenues of which emotion to
• 3:11
  pick. But I can assure you it's not
• 3:14
  the -1 that made you make the choice because that is not the
• 3:18
  best leader for the next phase. And this is how it works when
• 3:21
  you know, change is taking place and the world is nothing but
• 3:25
  constant change right now. And it's very scary for people.
• 3:29
  And you know, I, I can just say if you're tapping into it and
• 3:34
  you keep looking at it, you're just going to expand it in your
• 3:37
  own world. So look at yourself, look at
• 3:39
  what you want and focus on. Look at what you want to do.
• 3:42
  Look at what you want to create at this point in time.
• 3:45
  Don't be paying attention to everything else.
• 3:48
  First and foremost, put the mask on yourself.
• 3:50
  As the pilot always says or the flight attendant says, when
• 3:53
  we're flying, in the event of a loss of cabin pressure, please
• 3:57
  put the mask on yourself 1st and then help those sitting beside
• 4:00
  you. So this is one of those moments
• 4:02
  where you have to put the mask on yourself 1st and you say, OK,
• 4:07
  I'm going to do something, read this from a different emotion,
• 4:10
  start the change process. And that doesn't mean that you
• 4:13
  still won't feel the the aggravation, the depression, the
• 4:17
  frustration. It just means that they're the
• 4:20
  not the loudest voice. So even if I have curiosity
• 4:23
  driving while I'm trying to create something, it doesn't
• 4:25
  mean that I'm not going to feel some of those other things.
• 4:28
  Of course, will absolutely. We are getting ready to shift
• 4:32
  directions and some stuff that we're doing.
• 4:34
  And I can tell you the aggravation was the first thing
• 4:37
  that was moving me, but I didn't wait till it was screaming at
• 4:40
  me. I, I noticed it over the course
• 4:42
  of March and I was like, OK, we need to shift this.
• 4:45
  So by the end of March, I pulled the trigger and said we're
• 4:48
  shifting this and OK, great. Now, does it mean that I'm
• 4:53
  aggravated all the time? Absolutely not.
• 4:55
  I am not. I'm much more in curiosity, much
• 4:58
  more in excitement about, OK, this is what we're looking for.
• 5:02
  This is what we're going to try now, and that it leads me down a
• 5:07
  better Rd. But does it mean that that
• 5:09
  aggravation is gone? No, it's still there a little
• 5:11
  bit, but it doesn't mean that I'm hunkering down in it.
• 5:13
  It means I'm focused on the destination, not where I've
• 5:16
  been. And that's the important point.
• 5:19
  And if you don't know the destination, that's why you're
• 5:21
  supposed to be being curious, because curiosity leads to that.
• 5:24
  So the more curious you are, the more likely you are to figure
• 5:28
  out what's next. And you build the plane while
• 5:31
  you fly it to the next destination.
• 5:33
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:36
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
