  Hey. Everybody, welcome to the Good
• 0:03
  Morning from the Chicken Coop podcast.
• 0:05
  My name is Kim Johnson and I am a mastermindset, coach, creative
• 0:08
  strategist, and also happened to be a farmer.
• 0:11
  This is my Chicken coop and I come out here.
• 0:13
  Every day to record a podcast to.
• 0:15
  Teach distinctions, possibilities, new ways of
• 0:18
  thinking, and just bring some joy.
• 0:20
  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 morning. So as you can hear, my voice is
• 0:33
  off. And you know, if you've been
• 0:35
  listening over the last couple weeks, lots has been going on
• 0:39
  and my voice just this, this cold, whatever this thing is,
• 0:44
  this funk has just been consuming my voice and I,
• 0:49
  there's nothing in my lungs, there's nothing in my head.
• 0:52
  I don't have a sinus infection, It's just this back of the
• 0:55
  throat, you know, cold thing where I just have this drip and
• 0:59
  it makes my voice and I can't sleep and I cough all night
• 1:03
  long. And it's just been a rough 1.
• 1:05
  So first, let me apologize for missing a few days doing the
• 1:08
  podcast because it's just been so hard getting it timed out
• 1:13
  where I can get out here with the girls.
• 1:15
  And sometimes if I was to get up too early, I hadn't slept.
• 1:19
  And it's just been just, it's just been very interesting
• 1:23
  making it all work. So which is the point of today's
• 1:26
  podcast is sometimes you just have to surrender to the
• 1:29
  conditions in which you're dealing.
• 1:31
  Now, I did not stop working through all of this because I
• 1:34
  feel fine other than my voice. So I had to, you know, my, in my
• 1:40
  mind, I had to maintain every single session every single
• 1:44
  time. And that's how I always have
• 1:46
  been. I mean, when I in 2021, when I
• 1:48
  had Covic, I worked through Covic.
• 1:50
  I worked while I had a fever of 101.4 for two weeks.
• 1:55
  I worked through it because you live up to your obligations.
• 1:59
  You stick to the schedule unless of course, you have like no way
• 2:03
  out of it. But I didn't.
• 2:05
  I was, I was like, OK, other than the fever, I feel OK.
• 2:08
  I'm just, you know, sluggish and hot and that's it.
• 2:12
  So this time I'm like, no, I feel completely fine.
• 2:16
  I'm going to keep going. And I have, I've continued
• 2:18
  today. I'm doing the same thing.
• 2:20
  But what has happened around it is that I've recognized, not
• 2:25
  that I would have done anything any differently, though I want
• 2:27
  to be very clear about that. But I've recognized how I have
• 2:31
  to, for myself, look at the signs and say, OK, how can I
• 2:38
  shift so that I can heal quicker?
• 2:41
  How can I shift so that I can be a little bit different?
• 2:44
  And I get very stubborn and I'm like, I won't give in.
• 2:46
  And until last week, late last week, I didn't even reschedule a
• 2:52
  session, but my headache got the best of me.
• 2:54
  So I had to reschedule 2 sessions.
• 2:57
  And then I was like, OK, which I don't like to do to anybody.
• 3:01
  And then, you know, now I have this situation even now why I'm
• 3:05
  going and recording with you. I have this inclination to cough
• 3:10
  and I probably have to push the pause button, cough and then
• 3:13
  come back. But I have a video call that's
• 3:16
  coming up Monday night for my groups and I had to decide the
• 3:20
  other day. My daughter said to me, mom, you
• 3:23
  can't see them. Let them see you coughing on
• 3:25
  video. You've got to cancel that call.
• 3:28
  And I would say cancel the call. That's insane.
• 3:30
  Why would I do that? And she's like, because you
• 3:33
  can't cough during the call. And she was right.
• 3:36
  And so I'm preparing the e-mail to go out to cancel the call.
• 3:40
  And what this has brought me to is an understanding that
• 3:42
  sometimes even with the best intentions, me personally, I get
• 3:48
  very stubborn and that that's not always for my greater good.
• 3:52
  So I'm learning through this process that I can shift and
• 3:56
  change and take a break, give myself breaks so that I can
• 4:00
  continue forward and it's OK, it's OK.
• 4:03
  Now here's the funny part. Even in just shooting this, I
• 4:06
  had to hit the pause button, cough, blow my nose, clear my
• 4:10
  head out, and then I'm like, OK, can't continue, can't do that on
• 4:13
  video. And I had to give myself a break
• 4:15
  of not trying to get out so early in the morning that I'm
• 4:19
  going to cause myself to be sick and not stay in bed a little bit
• 4:23
  longer and get a little bit extra sleep.
• 4:25
  So the, the whole thing is a learning, it's just a learning
• 4:30
  situation for me. It's a, it's a how, how stubborn
• 4:34
  do you want to be versus how healthy do you want to be?
• 4:37
  How do you want to change this around?
• 4:38
  What do you want to do? And I, I really have, I have to
• 4:42
  thank the situation for allowing me to say, you know what?
• 4:45
  I need to pause. I need to look at things a
• 4:47
  little differently so I can learn to ask a better question.
• 4:52
  Not just how do I get it all done, but how do I want to get
• 4:56
  it all done right? How do I want to do it?
• 4:59
  Do I want to be flat on my back when I'm done, but at least you
• 5:02
  got it done. Or do I like to be healthier
• 5:04
  getting it done? So it's a change in questions,
• 5:07
  it's a change in perception, it's a change in reality.
• 5:09
  And I really wanted to share it with you guys because I think
• 5:12
  it's so important to understand that kind of stuff.
• 5:15
  Because the truth of the matter is we all go through this and we
• 5:18
  all push through it. And sometimes we just have to
• 5:20
  like take a little 2nd and ask a better question.
• 5:24
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:26
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
