  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 happen 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.
• 0:21
  World. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good evening from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So I'm shooting this evening out here because I wanted to talk to
• 0:34
  you about the process that I'm doing right now.
• 0:36
  You might hear some clicking in the background and I am dead
• 0:40
  heading one of my rose bushes. And it happens to be the one
• 0:44
  that's right at the front gate of the chicken coop.
• 0:47
  And we put it here so we could grow up and cover the fence and
• 0:50
  really be beautiful. And boy has it worked out
• 0:52
  really, really well. And one of the things that's
• 0:56
  required when you grow roses or a lot of flowers is deadheading.
• 1:01
  And it's an interesting process when you think about what they
• 1:04
  call it, deadhead. So when the heads are gone, you
• 1:07
  cut them off. You literally just come in and
• 1:10
  you cut them off. And the process allows and
• 1:13
  triggers the plant to want to grow further.
• 1:16
  So while it sounds brutal, it's actually quite necessary to to
• 1:22
  turn it into prolific growing. While you doesn't seem to make
• 1:27
  any sense. If I cut off all of this, it's
• 1:29
  going to promote new growth. It does.
• 1:31
  And maybe that's a great lesson for all of us as human beings to
• 1:36
  take. Sometimes you have to cut things
• 1:38
  off in order to grow, right? Like just such a great
• 1:42
  connection between all of this. You know, sometimes we have dead
• 1:47
  heads and they need to be taken off of us because we're just
• 1:50
  focused on the wrong things. We're going in the wrong
• 1:52
  direction. We've got the wrong stuff
• 1:54
  happening. And we need to get a sharp set
• 1:57
  of tools and say, OK, I'm going to pay attention to this.
• 2:01
  I'm going to handle myself in a better way and I'm going to cut
• 2:04
  off all this crap that seems to keep pulling me back down.
• 2:08
  And as I was thinking about this, it makes me laugh because
• 2:13
  we here, it's so easy when we have it, you know, a plant to do
• 2:17
  it with. We're just like, OK, Yep, we go
• 2:18
  over and we do it and we don't think anything about it with
• 2:20
  ourselves, though it takes like so much effort to try to, you
• 2:25
  know, intellectualize. What do I need to cut out?
• 2:28
  So the real question is where do you need to prune?
• 2:31
  Where do you need to go and say, OK, I'm going to cut off these
• 2:35
  dead heads and I'm going to wait for this plant to rejuvenate
• 2:39
  and, and burst forward. You know, that's the same thing
• 2:43
  with our minds. What do I need to cut off?
• 2:45
  What do I need to trim away? What do I need to deadhead and
• 2:49
  say, now that I've got this all clear, I'm going to feed myself
• 2:53
  a healthy dose of what I need in order to grow in the right
• 2:56
  direction. I mean, it's a very simple
• 2:58
  process, my friends. And you know, I, I, I could
• 3:02
  Yammer on and on about it, but it's really just that simple.
• 3:06
  So I'm going to leave this as a really quick one right now
• 3:09
  because help. It's right to the point.
• 3:12
  What do you need to deadhead in yourself?
• 3:14
  Go out, figure it out and Deadhead, because I promise you
• 3:18
  it will make a massive difference and it will make the
• 3:21
  rest of you grow. All right, my friends, I'll see
• 3:24
  you tomorrow and I hope you have a blessed.
• 3:25
  Day bye.
