  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 happen 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.
• 0:22
  To the. Coop and let's start your day
• 0:24
  off in a fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning.
• 0:28
  From the farm where it's so foggy this morning, it's crazy.
• 0:34
  So much rain yesterday and now it's just foggy and it looks
• 0:39
  like a jungle has exploded out here all over the place.
• 0:44
  And which brings me to the point of our conversation today.
• 0:47
  It's like how one factor can change so much so quickly.
• 0:52
  So think about it. Rain, OK?
• 0:55
  I water my stuff every day. I am out here.
• 0:58
  There are sprinklers, there are all kinds of hoses around this
• 1:03
  farm, and I am constantly walking out and watering things
• 1:07
  to make sure everything's getting enough water in the
• 1:09
  heat. Making sure they're taken care
• 1:12
  of, giving them the right nutrition besides the water,
• 1:15
  giving them food, making sure it's all done.
• 1:18
  And then you have a rainy day where the sun doesn't come out
• 1:23
  so bright, but the rain is intense.
• 1:25
  And I think it rained 3. I think the final number here
• 1:28
  was like 3 1/2 inches over the course of the whole day.
• 1:32
  And lo and behold, you wake up, you come out and everything
• 1:36
  looks so much different. It's crazy how one factor can
• 1:41
  change it. Now, have they been having water
• 1:43
  all along? Yes.
• 1:45
  Were they having exponential amounts of water?
• 1:48
  No. Because you always worry about
• 1:50
  over watering. And then, you know, Mother
• 1:53
  Nature takes over and says I'm dumping it all on here.
• 1:57
  And then you see what happens in a very different way.
• 2:00
  And it's like all of it at once, it just comes down and
• 2:04
  everything just went pop and blew up.
• 2:07
  And I got to tell you, it's extraordinary every time I see
• 2:10
  it. And I know this happens.
• 2:11
  I know it takes place, how 1 little factor can change so
• 2:16
  much. And in our world, it's the same
• 2:19
  thing. You have that one teacher, that
• 2:22
  one person, that one little extra thing that makes you go
• 2:26
  zoom and all of a sudden you take off.
• 2:30
  So the question is, where have you found in your life that you
• 2:35
  need that little factor? You need something doesn't have
• 2:38
  to be big. It can be small.
• 2:40
  It can be like, OK, I I need new pens.
• 2:44
  And I'm not even joking because sometimes when you sit and
• 2:47
  you're trying to write, this was an incident that we had a few
• 2:51
  years back when my son was younger and we were trying to
• 2:54
  teach him to really get get his penmanship better.
• 2:57
  And it was just arduous. And then I said, let's go find a
• 3:00
  good pen that you're going to really like to write with.
• 3:03
  And he said, I just want to have a pen that erases.
• 3:07
  And I was like, what? And he's like, yeah, if I had a
• 3:09
  pen that erased, then I wouldn't feel so stressed out about it.
• 3:12
  Now think about that statement from a very young child.
• 3:15
  I mean, it was like probably 7:00 or 8:00 at the time.
• 3:18
  And all of a sudden, it's just a, oh, I need a pen to erase.
• 3:22
  That's all you need to have this be good.
• 3:24
  Yes, that's all I need. OK, So I go on a hunt looking
• 3:27
  for pens to erase. And amazingly, I didn't find any
• 3:31
  good ones. They were all rough.
• 3:32
  And they always ripped the paper, which is what he could
• 3:35
  not stand. He he could not stand that that
• 3:39
  was what his problem was. He kept like, you know, writing.
• 3:42
  And then he would go to a race and it would RIP the paper.
• 3:44
  And then he would get frustrated.
• 3:45
  And none of us knew what was happening.
• 3:48
  So finally one of my clients mentions to me that she had
• 3:53
  found these pens and she, you know, they were online, they
• 3:57
  were part of a company that does journals and whatnot.
• 4:01
  And she said they have erasable pens and they're so awesome.
• 4:04
  And she was talking about it to me in the sense from the, from
• 4:07
  the journals being used. And I was like, oh, well, wait a
• 4:12
  second, my son's looking for that.
• 4:14
  And it was just like a very casual conversation about
• 4:18
  nothing that had to do with, you know, Lucas.
• 4:22
  However, all of a sudden, it became that way.
• 4:25
  And my goodness, it all just blew up from there.
• 4:29
  And, you know, I got him the pens.
• 4:31
  Voila, He doesn't mind writing anymore because they're easy to
• 4:35
  erase. And, you know, this is the crazy
• 4:37
  part of all of I think life in general is how sometimes things
• 4:42
  just show up for us and we're not 100% certain about the fact
• 4:46
  that, you know, we have this this intensity about things, but
• 4:52
  we do. And we don't realize that when
• 4:55
  we have this intensity, we don't like something or something's in
• 4:58
  our way that one little factor can change it.
• 5:01
  So he didn't even realize how he was acting or showing up with it
• 5:05
  at that level, but it was affecting everything.
• 5:07
  It was affecting stress for me. It was affecting him.
• 5:10
  And all of a sudden, that one little thing changed, just like
• 5:13
  the rain here on the farm. So I'm going to suggest to
• 5:17
  everybody. I'm going to suggest to
• 5:19
  everybody, look at all those little factors, figure them out.
• 5:23
  And let me tell you, when you do, you're going to be amazed at
• 5:26
  how quickly it can change something.
• 5:28
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll
• 5:30
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
