  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
• 0:12
  and I 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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning to one of the most humid mornings I
• 0:32
  have felt here in quite some time.
• 0:35
  I mean, it's been humid, but this is like walking out into a
• 0:38
  wall that just engulfs your body.
• 0:42
  And the purpose of today's talk is all about the fact that when
• 0:48
  you walk into something, you've got to decide what you make it
• 0:51
  mean. So I opened the door to come
• 0:53
  out. I was going to record something
• 0:54
  completely different. But Mother Nature once again
• 0:57
  provided me with the perfect conversation.
• 0:59
  And I walked out and I've got like leggings on and 'cause I
• 1:03
  was working out and I've got, you know, a, a little tank top
• 1:07
  and a little like zipper jacket that I just 'cause I'm always
• 1:11
  cold and air conditioning. I walked outside and it feels
• 1:14
  like I walked into this like almost like a a sauna.
• 1:19
  It's so hot already and it's so sticky and it's so gross.
• 1:23
  Like that's the, the initial feeling and I thought to myself
• 1:28
  and instantaneously I was like, that's so interesting how one
• 1:33
  condition can make me like have a complete visceral reaction.
• 1:38
  Like my head thought it, my body thought it, I was engulfed in
• 1:42
  it. How it's just like, boom, there,
• 1:44
  you there you have it and you, you just recognize it
• 1:49
  immediately. And then I stopped and I said,
• 1:53
  wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:55
  This is not as bad as you are making it.
• 1:58
  Now stop. Pull yourself back.
• 2:00
  It's still dark. It's not that unpleasant.
• 2:03
  It's not drying your skin out. And I went through this whole
• 2:06
  thing about how I could change the way I was focusing on it,
• 2:10
  how I could change the way I felt, what my I could shift.
• 2:13
  And as soon as I did that, I started to feel better.
• 2:16
  As soon as I changed that, I started to go, Oh, okay, okay,
• 2:20
  all right, all right, I'm regrouping, I'm regrouping.
• 2:22
  And then I came outside and it didn't feel as, you know, I
• 2:27
  mean, I came further outside because I was walking.
• 2:29
  I came into the yard and I was like, Oh, this doesn't feel as
• 2:33
  awful as I thought because my body started to adjust.
• 2:37
  Or was it that my mind was adjusting?
• 2:40
  That's the big question. So I sat and I paused.
• 2:44
  I literally like sat down on this little bench we have.
• 2:46
  And I was like, wait a second, Is my mind adjusting my body or
• 2:51
  is my body adjusting my mind? Because they're so easy to be
• 2:55
  intertwined, they easily work together.
• 2:57
  They're supposed to work together and this is in the good
• 3:01
  for the greater good or your greater good or the the demise.
• 3:06
  Because I could sit there and I could have dwelled on the bad
• 3:08
  one and my body could have gotten more and more upset.
• 3:10
  I would have broken out and sweat whatever it might have
• 3:13
  been. And I could have panicked in
• 3:15
  some way. And we do that in certain
• 3:18
  situations because we want our body gets wound up and then our,
• 3:22
  you know, our mind goes along with it and vice versa.
• 3:25
  So this morning I sat and had to decode it and I think, OK, this
• 3:30
  is what I think happened is that as soon as I said no and my
• 3:34
  brain kicked in to shifting the pattern, all of a sudden my body
• 3:38
  responded. And it was great because now I
• 3:41
  don't feel hot or sticky or anything.
• 3:44
  I just feel comfortable. I'm like totally comfortable
• 3:47
  right this minute doing this, pacing back and forth and again,
• 3:52
  they're intertwined. So the whole point of today is
• 3:55
  to just check and say, okay, is my body leading me?
• 4:00
  Is my mind leading me? They're working together, but
• 4:03
  somebody is in charge and it might just be think of it like
• 4:06
  the scales of justice when they, you know, that big.
• 4:10
  For those of you who have never seen the scales of justice, I
• 4:13
  was like there's weights on both sides, scales on both sides and
• 4:17
  1 tips more than the other and and that you know they may be
• 4:20
  slightly even but one is always. Slightly more.
• 4:24
  Than the other typically OK, so you have to look and see
• 4:27
  someone's leading. One of those things is leading.
• 4:30
  So I challenge you figure that out, see which one it is because
• 4:34
  once you know that then you can start to control it.
• 4:36
  And I'm a big fan, obviously, of letting my body be signals, but
• 4:41
  my brain has to choose. I want to actively choose
• 4:45
  because that's where the power comes in.
• 4:47
  When you can truly stop and pause and actively choose, then
• 4:51
  it's going to be better. And you can make sure you're
• 4:54
  aligned. And you can also say, OK,
• 4:57
  sometimes I'm not choosing the right thing.
• 4:59
  Sometimes I don't want this anymore.
• 5:00
  And you can at least think it through.
• 5:02
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:05
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
