• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermind, set coach, creative strategist, and also
• 0:09
  happen to 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. How many excuses do you think
• 0:30
  you give yourself during the day?
• 0:32
  I had this conversation recently, in fact yesterday with
• 0:37
  a client and we were talking about health and how the health,
• 0:44
  this person's health was declining in certain areas.
• 0:47
  And we have talked about this before and it's not it's not
• 0:52
  been made a priority. And in my opinion, when you get
• 0:57
  certain clues, you should make things a priority.
• 1:00
  And how you define a priority is personal to you.
• 1:03
  And you have to make those decisions based on, you know, is
• 1:07
  it rated on a scale of one to 10?
• 1:09
  You know, is it is it a one meaning it doesn't matter at
• 1:11
  all? Or is it a 10 meaning it's
• 1:12
  critical, urgent and it must get done.
• 1:15
  And while this person would continue to rate this as an 8 or
• 1:21
  A9, they were not taking it on to say, OK, I need to do
• 1:26
  something about this. And when dealing with certain
• 1:31
  illnesses or certain effects of stress and whatnot in the body,
• 1:35
  we have to recognize once that can of worms is opened, when the
• 1:40
  emotional connection is made, when you start to have all these
• 1:44
  somatic influences that are showing up in your body, like
• 1:48
  it's in your body, it's showing up.
• 1:50
  It's the mind body connection and ignoring it doesn't work.
• 1:54
  It it just doesn't work. My friends.
• 1:55
  When you ignore something, it doesn't work.
• 1:58
  So when people say, well, I have the psoriasis flare up or I have
• 2:03
  I have a gastrointestinal flare up or my autoimmune is going off
• 2:08
  all of these things. This is not just an obvious
• 2:13
  condition all the time in the emotional place, it's obvious in
• 2:16
  the body, but in the in the emotional piece.
• 2:20
  It's not always because you may not have experienced any stress
• 2:23
  and all of a sudden everything is flying off the handle again,
• 2:26
  but it's maybe because you had two extra glasses of wine or
• 2:31
  your and your body doesn't as we get older, your body doesn't
• 2:34
  handle things the way it could when we were younger.
• 2:37
  It doesn't handle certain stuff the same.
• 2:39
  And and I am 100% comfortable talking about this because for
• 2:44
  myself, my body, I don't have a problem drinking, meaning I, I
• 2:49
  don't have an attachment to alcohol emotionally or
• 2:52
  physically. But when I have a glass of wine,
• 2:55
  I feel terrible the next day. Every joint in my body hurts.
• 3:00
  That is a a complete and total message that shows up
• 3:04
  immediately. So I listen and I'm just that's
• 3:08
  it. I'm done.
• 3:09
  Have not had any alcohol in. I can't even remember the last
• 3:13
  time I had alcohol and it it just doesn't matter to me
• 3:16
  anymore. I just don't want it.
• 3:18
  I say no to it. It just doesn't feel good in my
• 3:21
  body and I'm listening to the message of it.
• 3:24
  So same thing about water. If I don't drink enough water,
• 3:27
  when I wake up in the morning, I feel puffy.
• 3:30
  I feel like I don't have oil in the system, so to speak.
• 3:35
  So I say, oh, how much water did I drink yesterday?
• 3:37
  Oh, guess what? I didn't drink enough water and
• 3:40
  what I've conditioned myself to do not.
• 3:43
  I'm not perfect with this, but I am very much working to attain
• 3:47
  an even higher level of it is listening to the whispers as
• 3:51
  opposed to waiting until I get hit in the head with a bat.
• 3:55
  Because those whispers matter. The little whispers of
• 3:58
  information that we get matter. So.
• 4:01
  This is. About saying.
• 4:03
  When you. Hear yourself making an excuse
• 4:06
  or talking about how something is not right or complaining.
• 4:09
  Oh, we got a plane flying over in the dark.
• 4:11
  That's fun. It's it's about giving us this
• 4:17
  information. And when we have those things
• 4:19
  show up, get getting the information.
• 4:22
  Having the information is important.
• 4:25
  And sometimes it's not always just in the body, but when you
• 4:28
  hear yourself complain about something, when you're like, oh,
• 4:31
  I'm just so tired. You, you have a responsibility
• 4:36
  to care for the body that your soul is in.
• 4:38
  Like if you're here and you're listening, I know you follow a
• 4:41
  lot of the same beliefs I do. So that becomes one of those
• 4:45
  things where we're like, OK, let's talk about that for a
• 4:48
  second. That means you understand
• 4:50
  there's a there's a part of you that resonates a soul that's in
• 4:53
  this body. And that body is meant to work
• 4:56
  in tandem with that soul and that mind.
• 4:58
  So, you know, that's heart, mind and soul.
• 5:00
  It's all working together, right?
• 5:02
  We have. We have have to pay.
• 5:04
  Attention to all of those messages.
• 5:06
  So if you are complaining, that's a message.
• 5:08
  If you're making excuses, that's a message.
• 5:11
  What you do with that message is your choice, but it's
• 5:14
  nonetheless a message. So take some inventory.
• 5:18
  Take inventory of the complaints, take inventory of
• 5:21
  the pains, take inventory of the information.
• 5:24
  And then make a choice about what you want to do about it.
• 5:27
  Because it is. A choice.
• 5:28
  And believe me, the choices can be difficult sometimes, but boy,
• 5:32
  they're worth it. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:34
  you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:36
  Bye.
