  Hey. Everybody, welcome to the Good
• 0:03
  Morning from the Chicken Coop podcast.
• 0:05
  My name is Kim Johnson and I am a mastermindset, coach, creative
• 0:08
  strategist, and also happened to be a farmer.
• 0:11
  This is my Chicken coop and I come out here.
• 0:13
  Every day to record a podcast to.
• 0:15
  Teach distinctions, possibilities, new ways of.
• 0:18
  Thinking. And just bring some.
• 0:20
  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. From the porch can hear all the
• 0:31
  frogs still going off. It's very, very early.
• 0:34
  All the little bugs. Everybody's still busy out there
• 0:37
  and it's pitch dark. I don't even think I've heard
• 0:40
  the rooster go off yet. The reason I'm shooting from the
• 0:44
  porch early without the girls is because I wanted to talk to you
• 0:47
  about taking that step into the morning peacefully.
• 0:52
  Because here's the deal. When you set your morning up in
• 0:56
  chaos, your day is set on that path.
• 0:59
  And we've talked about this before, but especially after the
• 1:03
  week that happened last week, I think it's very important that
• 1:06
  everyone realize that we slow the hell down.
• 1:10
  We take a deep breath, we collect ourselves and we say,
• 1:14
  OK, no matter how much I rush, the day is still going to go on.
• 1:19
  No matter how bad I feel, the day is still going to go on.
• 1:22
  No matter how much I, you know, have anguish over things, the
• 1:27
  day is still going to go on. So why shouldn't it go on with
• 1:30
  me being in a state of peace, me feeling good, me feeling like
• 1:34
  I've collected myself. So I come out here in the
• 1:36
  morning and I pause when it's still and it's slow.
• 1:40
  I love this time of day because years ago when Wayne Dyer used
• 1:46
  to come and talk for Tony and I would listen to him intently and
• 1:51
  he would talk to us all about how you have to be grounded, you
• 1:55
  have to be focused, you have to be in that moment.
• 1:57
  You just be present. And when he spoke to you, he had
• 2:00
  this way of speaking where he would talk to you like he you
• 2:03
  were the only person there. And it made everybody feel like
• 2:06
  when you walked up to him and you had a conversation with him
• 2:09
  backstage, he would just be completely present with you.
• 2:13
  And I always admired that. I thought that that was such a
• 2:16
  brilliant character trait of his.
• 2:20
  And he would talk intently about how early morning, you know, he
• 2:25
  would wake up at 3:00 AM and he didn't get frustrated like
• 2:27
  everybody else who woke up early that, you know, I woke up at
• 2:31
  3:00 and I couldn't go back to sleep.
• 2:32
  He would say, well, I woke up and that was that's the the
• 2:36
  spiritual hour. That's the God hour.
• 2:38
  That's when you start feeling things.
• 2:41
  You're picking up energy. I woke up because there was an
• 2:43
  energy in me that woke up. So he would use that time to
• 2:47
  write. He would get up and be
• 2:49
  productive, which I think is amazing.
• 2:52
  And I adopted that. And I come out here really,
• 2:56
  really, really early. And I think it's about 4:10
• 3:00
  right now. And that feeling of before the
• 3:03
  world wakes up, that feeling when there's a whole different
• 3:07
  world out there that is peaceful and just appears to be peaceful.
• 3:13
  I mean, if you dig in, the bugs are not peaceful.
• 3:15
  They're all busy, They're all doing their thing.
• 3:17
  They're just on a different schedule than we are.
• 3:19
  But it makes you feel like, you know what, We're not as
• 3:22
  important as we think we are. Life goes on and we have to slow
• 3:26
  down and we have to take it in and we have to feel good in
• 3:29
  order to feel good. In order to feel good, you have
• 3:32
  to choose good. In order to get there, you have
• 3:34
  to just choose to slow down and be like, OK.
• 3:37
  I can remember so many times when we were getting ready to
• 3:40
  hold events and everybody would be filled with anxiety about
• 3:44
  we're not getting enough stuff done.
• 3:45
  We should be more. We should have more done by now.
• 3:47
  And I always say, listen, the events going to go off
• 3:52
  regardless of if we're ready or not, when those doors are
• 3:56
  supposed to open, the doors are going to open and the people are
• 3:58
  going to come in and we'll figure it out because we always
• 4:01
  do. And it's our choice if we want
• 4:04
  to have that energy of anxiety or frustration going with us all
• 4:11
  day, it's OK to have it for a second, but we don't need it
• 4:14
  driving full force. We can put it in the back and
• 4:16
  say, no, I'm just going to have my consistent get things done
• 4:20
  girl driving. But I'm not going to be anxious
• 4:22
  about it. I'm just going to have fun.
• 4:24
  What would happen if you chose to have fun?
• 4:26
  What would happen if you just relaxed and chose to have fun?
• 4:29
  So I'm going to encourage you to bring that forward.
• 4:32
  I'm going to encourage you to look for that because there is
• 4:35
  nothing better than taking that into your week.
• 4:38
  And then every night you finish up your day and say, hey, you
• 4:42
  know what? I got it all.
• 4:43
  I got. I got things done.
• 4:44
  I may not have gotten it all done, but I've gotten things
• 4:47
  done. And then you can look and you
• 4:49
  can see where do I want to add it in.
• 4:51
  I can assure you that my calendar today says I've got a
• 4:54
  lot of things to do. Yeah, I do.
• 4:56
  I absolutely have a lot of things to do.
• 4:58
  But guess what? That's OK because I'm if I don't
• 5:02
  finish them all today, I'll move something over.
• 5:04
  I'll do the best I can, but I am not going to get frenetic and
• 5:08
  amped up because that doesn't help me get it done.
• 5:10
  All that does is cause me to delay even further.
• 5:13
  And that's what sucks because when something delays even
• 5:16
  further, it's so frustrating. It's so frustrating.
• 5:21
  It's just going to get me and then I'm not going to be
• 5:22
  thinking clearly and I'm definitely not going to get it
• 5:24
  done. So if I just slow down, if I
• 5:26
  just take the pace, if I just do it the right way, I come out
• 5:30
  here in the morning, I catch my breath.
• 5:31
  The air is cool this morning. It feels amazing.
• 5:36
  There's no humidity, it just feels wonderful.
• 5:39
  It's cold. I have a sweatshirt on, I have
• 5:41
  long leggings on. It's like feels so good.
• 5:44
  So just take that moment, collect yourself, bring that
• 5:49
  person, that emotion in with you have that emotion driving,
• 5:54
  you're going to feel amazing. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:57
  you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:59
  Bye.
