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

• 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 morning for me and the jump rope.
• 0:31
  Giving you guys a little update. So this past week has been very
• 0:36
  challenging because I've had a headache and this headache just
• 0:40
  didn't want to go away because I somehow knocked my neck out and
• 0:45
  I needed to visit the chiropractor.
• 0:47
  Now I see the chiropractor every single week because of what I do
• 0:52
  and how much I walk and the talking and just function from,
• 0:57
  you know, living on the farm, I typically have challenges with
• 1:03
  my neck, my shoulders and my jaw actually knocking out of place.
• 1:08
  So I used to suffer with it and never say anything about it.
• 1:12
  And then I started seeing a chiropractor and it was
• 1:14
  brilliant. It, it changed everything
• 1:16
  because it took away all the pressure.
• 1:18
  It took away everything that was wrong in my physical body, at
• 1:22
  least until the following week when I would screw it up again
• 1:26
  because of just what I do, the number of sessions and the
• 1:29
  things that I'm doing just happens.
• 1:31
  So this past week, usually I, I get to, I see him on Fridays and
• 1:36
  usually I can make it to the next Friday and it's not an
• 1:39
  issue. But I don't know, you know, you
• 1:41
  have you ever had one of those times where you just go to sleep
• 1:44
  and all of a sudden you injure yourself sleeping?
• 1:47
  I, I, my joke is always like, you know, there's a change in
• 1:50
  your world when you injure yourself sleeping.
• 1:53
  And my friends are always like, Oh, it's because you're getting
• 1:55
  older. And I'm like, no, we don't use
• 1:56
  that word. I, I don't, I don't like that
• 1:58
  word. So we don't use that word.
• 2:00
  It's a big joke among us all. But the, the funny part is that
• 2:05
  I went to sleep and I injured myself sleeping somehow.
• 2:08
  I, I just woke up and I had this tweak in the back of my neck,
• 2:13
  right where your neck attaches to your head.
• 2:15
  And it was little. And I just kept trying to like
• 2:19
  turn my head and shake it off instead of just saying, you know
• 2:22
  what? I need to rearrange my rearrange
• 2:24
  my schedule, call him and change my appointment or grab an extra
• 2:28
  appointment and go in because I I know that it's a problem for
• 2:32
  me. It's not like it's a mystery.
• 2:34
  I know what's going to happen if I ignore it.
• 2:37
  And guess what I did? I ignored it.
• 2:40
  So this happened on Monday when I woke up like that.
• 2:42
  So here we are Monday, it's already started.
• 2:46
  I'm thinking I can power through it.
• 2:48
  I'll get to the night, take some Advil no problem.
• 2:53
  Of course I don't have pain when I take Advil.
• 2:55
  And then I go to bed and then I wake up and now I have a
• 2:58
  headache from this little tweak. So Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
• 3:03
  I, I, I continued to have the headache.
• 3:06
  I continued to have this issue. Now here's where this get and
• 3:11
  this, this is the whole point of this conversation today.
• 3:14
  I ignored it and I kept taking the Advil, which is unlike me, I
• 3:18
  don't normally do that. I don't know if it was that I
• 3:21
  felt like I already had a very full calendar this week.
• 3:24
  My truck had to go in for service.
• 3:26
  Besides, you know, doing 44 coaching sessions this week.
• 3:31
  I I was just like, OK, I've I've got to suck it up.
• 3:36
  I don't know. I honestly cannot tell you why I
• 3:38
  ignored it but what I can say is the effects of me ignoring it.
• 3:43
  And I knew something was off and I kept going.
• 3:46
  So not only did I end up taking Advil, which I detest to take
• 3:52
  unless it's an absolute necessity, I took it multiple
• 3:56
  days. I then wasn't sleeping well and
• 3:59
  was waking up because my neck hurt and my headache got worse
• 4:02
  over time. Then I found myself getting more
• 4:06
  and more laid back in, even in my walking, so my steps were off
• 4:10
  and at first I was like oh it must be because it was like the
• 4:14
  weather was off. No, no it wasn't.
• 4:16
  It was me, my body that was off. And then guess what?
• 4:20
  I missed jump rope. And I didn't jump rope for
• 4:23
  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday because I didn't see the
• 4:27
  chiropractor till the afternoon. So I blew my doing it every
• 4:32
  single day in order to have a headache and not take care of it
• 4:38
  sooner because the second I walked into his office, he's
• 4:41
  like, what's up? You look like you're off.
• 4:44
  I said, I've had this headache since Tuesday morning.
• 4:46
  I did something Monday. Why didn't you call me?
• 4:49
  I don't know. Did you not?
• 4:51
  Did you not think it was going to get worse?
• 4:54
  I don't know. And the truth is, I kept saying
• 4:56
  I don't know. And I, I honestly sat there and
• 4:59
  said to myself afterwards, I really don't know why I didn't.
• 5:03
  I had all the clues. It was like there was this
• 5:06
  stubborn part of me that was just like, I, I just don't feel
• 5:09
  like going over I because I have to.
• 5:11
  It's, it's like 25 minutes from my house to get there, but I
• 5:14
  stubbornly let 25 minutes one way get me off track.
• 5:20
  And I, I sucked it up all those days.
• 5:23
  I blew my streak. I had my steps off and the point
• 5:27
  of this conversation and telling you this and and being very
• 5:30
  honest about my world all the time is look what A1 little tiny
• 5:34
  decision can throw. So now we have to start all over
• 5:38
  on getting this jump rope to be able to do this.
• 5:42
  And so I'm starting the challenge over because one I
• 5:46
  still had not completed, as you all know, doing it for 15
• 5:49
  minutes straight without stopping.
• 5:51
  So I'm in the process now of getting back into that.
• 5:56
  I feel great. The moment he corrected my neck,
• 5:58
  I felt great. I mean, the moment he did it, I
• 6:01
  was better. The headache went away.
• 6:03
  And that's The funny thing about stuff.
• 6:05
  Sometimes we let it go when it's so small and it becomes so big
• 6:10
  and festers and causes even more problems.
• 6:13
  And look, it threw me off. So the point of the story is
• 6:17
  listen to the little stuff and recognize that you have to have
• 6:21
  that wherewithal, which I should have said I did.
• 6:24
  I was aware, but I was so stubborn, I guess because I
• 6:27
  didn't want to drive. Maybe I was just off.
• 6:30
  I don't know. Not going to beat myself up
• 6:32
  about figuring out the exact reason, but I am going to know
• 6:34
  the next time I've written myself a little note in my
• 6:38
  mantras about this, that at the bottom that says if you're
• 6:42
  feeling off, do something about it.
• 6:45
  And not only that, but I will say this, I I recorded myself a
• 6:51
  message so that I can also hear it, not just read it.
• 6:54
  So I hope this is helpful to all of you and I will see you all
• 6:58
  tomorrow. Bye.
