  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 from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:30
  You know, when I think about why I do this podcast from the
• 0:34
  chicken coop, I'm really clear on the fact that this brings me
• 0:39
  joy. And I know you've heard me say
• 0:40
  this a million times, and I want to bring as much joy as I can
• 0:45
  out there to people. And right now, somewhere out
• 0:49
  there, someone's listening to the news, someone's listening to
• 0:53
  a podcast that's talking about awful things.
• 0:56
  Someone's listening to, you know, someone pontificate about
• 1:01
  all that they believe they know about, you know, the evils of
• 1:05
  religion or the evils of spirituality or all of these
• 1:09
  things. And they're entitled to their
• 1:12
  opinion. They're entitled to what they
• 1:14
  believe. They're entitled to this as we
• 1:15
  live in a country of free speech.
• 1:18
  And anyone who's listening in other countries, you know, this
• 1:21
  is obviously this is shot in the United States of America.
• 1:24
  And I have the freedom of speech attached to whatever I do
• 1:30
  supposedly. I mean, I always say that's
• 1:32
  with, you know, within a certain context, yes, we have the
• 1:35
  freedom of speech. However, I want to be very clear
• 1:39
  about something. I don't choose to tap into that
• 1:43
  negativity. I don't want to know about it.
• 1:45
  I want to live in a bubble, and I don't do that because I want
• 1:48
  to be ignorant. I do that because I want to be
• 1:51
  in a place where I'm tapping into the good.
• 1:54
  So just as much as I can tap into the negative, I can tap
• 1:57
  into the good. And nobody seems to want to, you
• 2:01
  know, they say, oh, you need to know the negative.
• 2:03
  Where are the people that say you need to know the good?
• 2:05
  I'd like to know these people because I'm one of them and I'd
• 2:09
  love to find more of them. And every day I come out here
• 2:13
  and I shoot my podcast from a place that brings me joy.
• 2:17
  And somewhere out there in the world, somebody else is
• 2:20
  listening to their chickens and that brings them joy.
• 2:22
  Or maybe they're sitting and listening to birds at their bird
• 2:25
  feeder like I do, and that brings them joy.
• 2:27
  Or they're planting flowers like I do and that brings them joy.
• 2:31
  Or watching things bloom. Or seeing, you know, the grass
• 2:37
  when the fresh cut grass gets cut the first time and you this
• 2:42
  of the season and you just look at it and you're like, oh, it
• 2:44
  looks so pretty and it smells so good.
• 2:46
  And they're having these moments and those matter just as much as
• 2:51
  all the bad crap that you could tap into and listen to.
• 2:55
  And I, I feel like there have to be more of us out there doing
• 3:01
  the good moments, the finding the good juicy stuff that makes
• 3:04
  us smile so that we can counteract all the negative.
• 3:09
  Because these people that do these podcasts on YouTube or on
• 3:12
  Spotify and they go on drone on and on for hours about the
• 3:15
  problems and all this stuff. Sure.
• 3:18
  Does this make me more informed, I guess of what?
• 3:21
  And it might, Is me having that amount of information going to
• 3:24
  change a damn thing? No, it's not.
• 3:26
  It's not going to do anything. So except it changed my biology
• 3:31
  and my body. It's literally going to change
• 3:33
  the chemistry of my body because I'm going to be upset.
• 3:36
  I'm going to feel helpless and hopeless.
• 3:38
  So why should I not do that and change the biology of my body
• 3:42
  with good stuff? I was just watering the
• 3:46
  vegetables that are in the grow lights in the garage before I
• 3:49
  came out to get the girls. And there I've got something
• 3:53
  that grew super fast. Like everything is growing
• 3:56
  exponentially faster with the setup I've put together this
• 3:58
  year, which is wonderful and amazing since I planted it
• 4:01
  later. So I feel like I'm all caught
• 4:03
  up, but I've got zucchini that are really, really big and I'm
• 4:08
  going to have to put them out this week.
• 4:09
  I'm going to have to do it. There's no question.
• 4:11
  But the smell coming off those leaves, that fresh smell is just
• 4:16
  intoxicating to me. And I sat there and I actually
• 4:19
  got teared up because I was like, I love this smell.
• 4:23
  We need more of that. We need more of that.
• 4:26
  I've got a duck sitting on the edge of the pond who's been
• 4:29
  sitting there just patiently on her eggs.
• 4:32
  A wild duck. Four days, days.
• 4:35
  She's got to be getting close. I don't know.
• 4:37
  I probably have noticed her two weeks ago.
• 4:39
  So, you know, I think it takes almost 29 days.
• 4:42
  So any day now, maybe she'll be doing it.
• 4:45
  But I don't know how long she was there before.
• 4:48
  So I'm just watching her and I'm thinking, wow, how cool is this?
• 4:52
  She just picked a spot right on the edge of my pond.
• 4:55
  How lucky am I that I get to see her do this?
• 4:58
  And we need more of that. So I'm going to encourage you to
• 5:02
  go find more of that. The small things add to it.
• 5:05
  Shut off anything negative that's happening, turn it down,
• 5:09
  turn it off, unplug it, put it away.
• 5:12
  Find something good to watch and, and just allow your brain
• 5:18
  to engulf itself in good things because the bad things are
• 5:21
  always there. And if you need to know, guess
• 5:23
  what? Someone will tell you if you
• 5:25
  need to know if there's something bad that's going to
• 5:27
  happen, I guarantee you someone will tell you.
• 5:31
  OK my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you
• 5:34
  tomorrow. Bye.
