  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
• 0:23
  let's start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody good. Morning.
• 0:29
  Let me ask you a question. Do you ever feel like you lose
• 0:33
  your enthusiasm for whatever it is that you're working on?
• 0:36
  I mean, I think it's a pretty common feeling, and I've had it
• 0:40
  myself and it comes from being misdirected, getting pulled in
• 0:45
  20 directions among a billion other things that it could be.
• 0:48
  But yesterday I had a major challenge with my computer.
• 0:53
  Like I'm talking a major challenge with my computer where
• 0:55
  all of a sudden something that has a TB of memory is telling me
• 0:59
  that it doesn't have the ability to upload videos.
• 1:03
  And of course, you know, this happens and I'm in the midst of
• 1:07
  trying to upload videos because that's when that would show up,
• 1:11
  right? And I can't get them over to
• 1:15
  where they're supposed to be. I'm super frustrated.
• 1:18
  And I've got to go to the Apple Store.
• 1:20
  So head to the Apple Store, get in there, and right away, you
• 1:25
  know, I had an hour, had a gap in my schedule, had somebody
• 1:28
  changed their time to another day this week.
• 1:30
  And I was like, OK, I'm going to just run down and take care of
• 1:32
  it. And they'll be able to fix it.
• 1:33
  The Wizards that they are walk in, they look at it and they're
• 1:37
  like, yeah, we're going to have to wipe the whole thing clean.
• 1:41
  Sometimes when this happens, the whole thing was just this one
• 1:44
  little tiny pocket of stuff that was clogged up.
• 1:48
  Doesn't even matter what was wrong with it.
• 1:49
  They had to wipe it clean and re back it up from, you know, my,
• 1:55
  the, the whole cloud. So I had to, I said, well, I
• 1:58
  can't do it now. I've got to come back.
• 2:00
  I've got too many things, other things to do and I'm going to
• 2:03
  come back at the end of the day. So at the end of the day, it's
• 2:05
  much quieter. There's not as much drama going
• 2:08
  on there. And I walk in and I get this
• 2:10
  amazing two team guys, technicians trying to figure out
• 2:14
  what did I do that initiated this problem to begin with?
• 2:16
  Because it was holding on to memory and it wasn't letting go
• 2:20
  of the memory from all this other stuff that I had been
• 2:22
  doing and it was causing it to dog out.
• 2:25
  And I kind of got into this conversation station with the
• 2:27
  guy while we were sitting there working on it.
• 2:29
  And I said, it's funny how it does that.
• 2:31
  It's like it's remembering everything and it's clogging the
• 2:34
  system. It's kind of like what we do.
• 2:35
  And he said, what do you mean? And I said, as humans, this is
• 2:37
  kind of what we do. We hang on to so many memories
• 2:40
  and it just dogs us out. And he's like, what do you, I
• 2:44
  don't understand. And I said, well, when you hang
• 2:46
  on to so many things, you, you start to feel burdened.
• 2:49
  You start to feel like you're flat lining.
• 2:51
  You start to feel flat about things.
• 2:53
  And it it and it happens. And he goes, I feel that way
• 2:56
  right now about my projects and the stuff that I'm doing outside
• 3:00
  of this. And we get into this very deep
• 3:01
  conversation. And he's like, that's such a
• 3:03
  cool analogy. I never thought of it that way.
• 3:05
  And I'm like, yeah, it'd be great sometimes if you could
• 3:07
  just wipe your memory clean, but then you wouldn't be you.
• 3:10
  So you have to have the memory. He's like, so how do you get out
• 3:13
  of it when you feel like you're flatlining?
• 3:15
  How do you feel like it when you just, you lost your mojo?
• 3:18
  You know, I have a lot of clients that say I've lost my
• 3:20
  mojo. And the thing that we have to
• 3:22
  remember is in that process of losing things and they're not
• 3:28
  really gone, OK? They're they're there, they're
• 3:31
  just not prioritized. They're not at the front of the
• 3:33
  bus, They're not the emotions driving, they're at the back.
• 3:38
  And often it's because we stop doing the things that we know
• 3:42
  matter. When we stop doing the things
• 3:44
  that we know matter, that things that change us, that help us,
• 3:47
  that's when we start to get into trouble.
• 3:50
  So it is imperative, it is in, it is critical that we
• 3:54
  constantly remember we have to do certain things to help us
• 3:58
  feel good about everything. We can't just cut that out.
• 4:01
  We can't just put it to the side.
• 4:03
  So one of the things that I had done before that was a a very
• 4:07
  major like problem in my world for me creatively was I stopped
• 4:13
  taking out my large Canon camera.
• 4:15
  I stopped taking close up pictures for the most part.
• 4:18
  I'd pull it out here and there, but it wasn't part of my daily
• 4:20
  activity because I was so focused on creating video
• 4:23
  content. And we're getting, you know, we
• 4:26
  have to get this video library built up for the YouTube channel
• 4:29
  and they're releasing them and they're working on them.
• 4:31
  And it took me out of, of things, not to mention there
• 4:34
  were just other things in my personal life that were calling
• 4:38
  for attention. And those things pull from
• 4:42
  where, where, what time you have.
• 4:44
  But I stopped doing the things that made me feel filled up.
• 4:47
  And I was explaining that to him and I said, I caught it really
• 4:50
  early. So it doesn't affect me, but it
• 4:52
  does affect me in a smaller way. It still does.
• 4:56
  I still have to work on it. I still have to progress with
• 4:59
  it. I still have to make it work.
• 5:01
  So the point of this today is to say if you feel like you're
• 5:05
  flatlining, if you feel like you've lost your mojo, if you
• 5:07
  feel like you're going into the southern summertime mindset of
• 5:12
  like, oh, it's so hot, I'm just going to sit and have a tea.
• 5:15
  You know, that's fine. It's fine.
• 5:18
  Just be aware of it. Choose to make sure that you are
• 5:22
  putting yourself in a place that you can get out of it quickly,
• 5:26
  unless you like to stay there, but this is for those that
• 5:28
  don't. Make sure you're doing something
• 5:31
  to fill yourself back up so that you can tether to that mojo,
• 5:35
  tether to that good stuff. Because when you're flatlining
• 5:38
  you, you have to know there is always a way out of it.
• 5:42
  It's just a question of what you're tapping into within
• 5:45
  yourself. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:47
  you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:49
  Bye.
