  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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. So I want to address something
• 0:31
  today that I think everybody who listens to this would is in the
• 0:37
  same boat as I am. The level of sadness that's out
• 0:40
  there right now with what has happened in these floods.
• 0:44
  And we wake up today to more flooding in New Mexico and we we
• 0:50
  still haven't even fathomed what has gone on in Texas.
• 0:57
  And I have clients who this is directly affected, directly
• 1:02
  affected. And we we can't as human beings
• 1:08
  understand. There are no words for what's
• 1:10
  going on there. There is no understanding for
• 1:14
  the level of sadness of what is happening.
• 1:18
  And we stop and we think all these people did was send their
• 1:21
  kids to camp or go camping with their grandchildren or try to
• 1:25
  have a nice 4th of July weekend. And all of a sudden this
• 1:30
  happens. And our our brains, our human
• 1:33
  brains are are wired to be, you know, in this headspace of I
• 1:38
  need to know why. I need to know why, I need to
• 1:41
  know why. And there is just no
• 1:45
  comprehension of why with this, my friends there, there isn't.
• 1:49
  No matter what we do, no matter how we try to do it, we're never
• 1:53
  going to understand why because the why won't make sense to us.
• 1:57
  And believe me, I know I've I've been doing this role for many
• 2:02
  years. And the why is something that
• 2:05
  comes up for people often consistently, and they'll say, I
• 2:10
  don't understand why. I just don't understand why.
• 2:13
  And guess what? Neither do I, neither do I.
• 2:16
  We cannot fathom this level of the wise, so it makes more sense
• 2:23
  to get our focus around the what?
• 2:27
  What can we do? What can we believe?
• 2:29
  What can we choose to think and focus our attention on?
• 2:33
  Sending love. So every time we have the
• 2:36
  overwhelming sense of despair, sadness, understand that those
• 2:42
  people need our energy, our prayers and not just the words
• 2:45
  of I'm praying for you. Like actually stop and pause and
• 2:49
  say I'm sending love to this family.
• 2:53
  I'm sending a hug to this family or these people or whatever the
• 2:57
  situation may be because that's what they need.
• 3:00
  They need to feel that they need to have those waves of just
• 3:06
  unconditional support and love pouring into them, even if it's
• 3:11
  energetically, even if you never speak the words, even if it's
• 3:14
  just you doing it the way I'm describing it, it's going to
• 3:18
  shift the the reality for everybody.
• 3:22
  So I encourage you to take that on one because it certainly
• 3:27
  helps all of us in the process. It certainly helps all of us in
• 3:31
  the process because we feel like we're doing something.
• 3:34
  Even if it's minimal, we're doing something and all of us
• 3:39
  want to do something. Some of us can't do more than
• 3:42
  that. Some of us can do more than
• 3:44
  that. Some of us can send things.
• 3:46
  Some of us can go and participate and help.
• 3:49
  Some of us can help the people that they know that this has
• 3:53
  affected, which my clients are going through right now.
• 3:57
  And I can tell you this, being able to feel like you're adding
• 4:04
  some value and some love in a situation helps us contemplate a
• 4:10
  little bit easier. Just a tad, not much, but just a
• 4:14
  tad. And that whole loop of why?
• 4:17
  Why would this happen? Why would why?
• 4:21
  Like we all look for those who messed up.
• 4:25
  Like that's one of the big questions out there right now.
• 4:27
  Who messed up, Who didn't put the warnings out, who didn't do
• 4:30
  this? We can Monday morning
• 4:33
  quarterback situations, whether it's this or something else all
• 4:37
  the time and we can try to do better.
• 4:40
  But we can't undo what has been done right now and we can't look
• 4:45
  at it as this is, this is a going to cause us to freeze
• 4:50
  because nobody would want that for us.
• 4:53
  Nobody would want that for us. The people that are lost would
• 4:56
  not want that for us. The people that, you know, we
• 4:59
  always hear these things about what, you know, what people were
• 5:02
  saying, what were the messages that were coming out?
• 5:05
  When we learned that from 9:11, when we heard people saying the
• 5:09
  messages they were getting, they were not of love of hate.
• 5:13
  They were all of love. That's the point of today.
• 5:17
  The to the point of today is to focus on that because if you can
• 5:21
  do that, if you can hone in on that, send love.
• 5:26
  Don't focus on how did it happen.
• 5:28
  Don't focus on why did it happen, but just focus on
• 5:31
  sending love. We can all start to feel just a
• 5:34
  teeny wee bit better. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:37
  you have a blessed day and I love you all.
• 5:40
  Bye.
