  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 let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, happy Sunday morning.
• 0:30
  And you can hear how loud the girls are right now.
• 0:34
  And there you go. There is one of our Roosters who
• 0:38
  loves to just go off Hulk Hogan. And Harry's going to do it again
• 0:43
  in a second. Him and Rufus are both coming
• 0:45
  running in at the same time every time I walk out here
• 0:48
  anyway. So listen to those girls how
• 0:50
  loud they are right now in any event.
• 0:53
  OK today we are talking about manipulation by fear and this is
• 0:58
  a really interesting concept to dive into because most of us
• 1:02
  don't think we are manipulated by fear and don't even realize
• 1:07
  how it's around us constantly. Now just this morning since I
• 1:11
  woke up Sunday morning, slept in.
• 1:13
  Don't normally do that, but spent a lot of hours yesterday
• 1:18
  looking at schools with my son for college programs.
• 1:21
  I was mentally exhausted, slept in, came out here and knew I was
• 1:25
  going to record on the morning because, you know, and now I
• 1:27
  have time for the sun to come up.
• 1:29
  Don't have sessions today. And I clicked on to see what the
• 1:32
  weather was so I could wash my truck.
• 1:35
  Simple thing, turn the weather on.
• 1:37
  Now, I don't like to use the app always because it's not accurate
• 1:41
  here because we're so close to the ocean.
• 1:43
  So sometimes it just is wrong in our little bubble of an area.
• 1:47
  And there's a local weather station on the news that does a
• 1:50
  really excellent job of it. So I just clicked it on and in
• 1:55
  the in the few minutes that I was making my tea and justice
• 1:59
  hearing this, the number of TV commercials that were all fear
• 2:03
  based. It doesn't really blow my mind,
• 2:06
  but it blew my mind. And then I start looking at, OK,
• 2:09
  how many other things are they constantly telling us?
• 2:12
  You know, we are all getting older.
• 2:14
  We all know that that is not a, you know, new news to us.
• 2:17
  We have a clue that's always happening.
• 2:20
  But how they prey on that, how they prey on fear, how they prey
• 2:24
  on what you don't have. And then the news kicks in and
• 2:27
  they're talking about, which I thought was ironic was the egg
• 2:29
  prices and how they're like going through the roof.
• 2:32
  And I have all these chickens and all these other things that
• 2:35
  are just 1234567891011121415161719 spots
• 2:45
  in a matter of get this 17 minutes that I could tell you.
• 2:49
  I timed it that we're fear based plugs seeds that were dropped
• 2:55
  into your heads. So here it's just like planting
• 2:57
  a garden. Here I am going out and what am
• 2:59
  I planting? The the soil is fertile.
• 3:01
  It's early in the morning. OK, it's very early.
• 3:05
  Sun just came up Sunday morning. Everyone's relaxed.
• 3:09
  I'm air quoting that because we should be, but how could we be
• 3:12
  with all this? And if you had this station on
• 3:16
  19 times in 17 minutes, there were tiny seeds.
• 3:23
  Now, have you ever seen a lettuce seed?
• 3:26
  OK, you can barely see the seed of a lettuce.
• 3:28
  It is like the teeniest, tiniest thing it actually is, like so
• 3:33
  small it looks like just a flake of pepper.
• 3:35
  They're so teeny tiny. And I always say, Can you
• 3:38
  imagine? This is what blows my mind, that
• 3:40
  that little teeny seed turns into something Absolutely
• 3:43
  Fabulous and delicious to eat. But guess what?
• 3:46
  Those little tiny seeds that they were planting turns into
• 3:49
  something horrific, turns into something that you start to
• 3:53
  become afraid to get older. Let's just take one basic
• 3:56
  subject. Afraid to get older and many
• 3:59
  people are they just don't talk about it because it it seems
• 4:03
  silly or they seem like if oh, I don't want to think about it, I
• 4:05
  don't want to think about it and they just move on.
• 4:08
  Instead of just saying I'm going to reframe my definition of
• 4:11
  this, whatever the subject is, I'm just using older for one
• 4:14
  thing. It could be anything but
• 4:16
  reframing it and saying I'm going to plant good seeds that
• 4:20
  are things that are going to come up and it doesn't matter
• 4:23
  how small that seed is, it can turn into something fabulous.
• 4:27
  IE my example of the lettuce seed, I mean, it's like nothing.
• 4:32
  It's like a little tiny. You can barely see them.
• 4:35
  In fact, when I go to plant seeds in the garden, I
• 4:37
  purposefully buy them in a way that's called pelleted, where
• 4:40
  they coat them. And I'll be doing a video to
• 4:43
  show everybody about this because it's so fascinating.
• 4:45
  But and it also gives them a really good chance of not
• 4:49
  getting, you know, moved around in the soil so that your lettuce
• 4:51
  is all wonky all over the place because you can't see it.
• 4:53
  But in any event, I don't want to digress on seeds like that.
• 4:57
  The seeds I'm talking about are these seeds of fear.
• 5:00
  So I'm going to ask everybody to do a little assignment that I
• 5:04
  think would be amazing. If you are inclined, sit down
• 5:08
  and look at how many times a day fear is presented to you.
• 5:12
  Not that you accept it, but how many times it's presented to you
• 5:15
  to realize and understand what is going on behind the scenes,
• 5:18
  my friend, because someone is always trying to move you
• 5:21
  through fear. And the reason for that is we as
• 5:24
  human beings are designed to seek out, we will do more to
• 5:29
  avoid pain than we will to get pleasure.
• 5:32
  Most of us like that is like a hardcore rule, most of us.
• 5:36
  But you can condition yourself for the other way, for that way
• 5:40
  of waiting, for the way of putting yourself into the
• 5:44
  position of saying, gosh, I'm willing to wait.
• 5:46
  Because this thing with fear is everywhere.
• 5:50
  It's everywhere, so do yourself a favor, give yourself a break
• 5:54
  and see there. Just check and see how many
• 5:57
  times you're presented with it because I promise you, you'll be
• 6:00
  shocked. All right, my friends, I hope
• 6:03
  you have a blessed day and really relax.
• 6:06
  I know I'm going to, and I hope you have a fabulous, wonderful
• 6:10
  day. Bye.
