  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, good morning. It is cold here.
• 0:31
  It is below 50°. What the hell is happening?
• 0:34
  I'm kidding, I actually like it though.
• 0:36
  This is good. I like the feeling of fall in
• 0:38
  the air and all the cool things that are about to happen going
• 0:42
  into the end of the year. It's one of my favorite times
• 0:46
  because I get to feel like I'm tidying up the rest of this
• 0:49
  year, crossing things off the list and getting ready for the
• 0:53
  new list and, and just feeling very abundant with all of that.
• 0:58
  And last night I actually had a group call with my clients.
• 1:03
  I do an open group call for any clients that want to show we
• 1:05
  record it so anybody who requests it can get it
• 1:08
  afterwards. And it's last night the call was
• 1:12
  all about what do you have to do to finish up the year strong?
• 1:15
  And you know, there are 70, I think 71 days left in the year.
• 1:19
  I mean, isn't that crazy to think 71 days left in the year
• 1:23
  and, and I may be wrong on that off by a day or two, but it, it
• 1:28
  to me, it's just that like, OK, I have all that time.
• 1:32
  I have plenty of time to know what I want to do to make it
• 1:36
  happen. So what am I going to do?
• 1:38
  How am I going to clean it up? Because I'm a big believer of
• 1:41
  not starting something new until you finish or make a decision on
• 1:45
  what you've already got going on.
• 1:47
  So my big thing is I want to clean up a lot of my stuff for
• 1:52
  my website. I want to clean up stuff for
• 1:54
  YouTube, have a regular schedule, just all these little
• 1:57
  tiny things. And for those of you who have
• 1:59
  not subscribed to my YouTube channel yet, please go subscribe
• 2:02
  it. It helps so much with algorithms
• 2:05
  and numbers. And we are at Mindset with Kim
• 2:08
  on YouTube. So if you just go and put in the
• 2:09
  little at sign mindset with Kim, you'll find us and thank you.
• 2:14
  But the point is, all of these things are stuff that I have to
• 2:19
  learn. And right now there is a huge
• 2:21
  pull for things that I don't have to learn, that I'm excited
• 2:24
  about, which is buying seeds and planning a garden.
• 2:27
  And I was showing them all my new books that had come last
• 2:30
  night, and they're sitting there and they're right on the edge of
• 2:33
  my drafting table so that I see them.
• 2:36
  Packets of seeds are showing up. And I'm like, I want to go do it
• 2:41
  now. It's completely not the right
• 2:42
  time of the year. And even if I started stuff for
• 2:44
  the spring, it would be way too soon and it would die off
• 2:47
  because it's going to be too cold.
• 2:49
  But my brain is so attracted to that that it's like a magnetic
• 2:53
  pull and it sucks me down a hole.
• 2:56
  And right now I'm looking at everything and going, oh, maybe
• 3:00
  I should be planting bulbs already.
• 3:02
  Maybe I should be doing this because I know I can do that,
• 3:04
  but I'm still a little bit too early and I've got to finish it
• 3:07
  up. So I have to keep putting the,
• 3:10
  the bridle on myself and pulling myself back, switching drivers
• 3:14
  and saying no, we have to, we are in that pragmatic mode.
• 3:18
  My certainty girl is thrilled because we're taking, I'm giving
• 3:21
  her full reign of this project and she's just like, Nope, can't
• 3:25
  do that until you do this. She's got her hair and a bun and
• 3:27
  a pencil in her hand and a clipboard and she is running
• 3:30
  through those things and, and I'm OK with that.
• 3:33
  I actually love that because that's going to show that I have
• 3:37
  a clean slate, and I love that idea of a clean slate coming up.
• 3:43
  So all the new books can go in a pile, all the new plans can go
• 3:46
  in a pile. Everything can happen that way.
• 3:49
  I can go and get my quotes that I need 'cause I'm going to start
• 3:52
  a new flower garden and I need somebody to come in and excavate
• 3:56
  that area. There's so many little aspects
• 3:59
  of stuff I can get put it underway, but in the meantime, I
• 4:02
  still have to cross things off my list.
• 4:05
  So what's on your list? This is the big thing.
• 4:08
  What do you need to do to clean up the rest of the year?
• 4:10
  And I'm not just talking personal, professional, whatever
• 4:13
  you think. What's going to make you feel
• 4:15
  good to know that by the time we hit the December holidays,
• 4:19
  you're just like, ah, this is great.
• 4:21
  And you can celebrate whatever holiday you celebrate in
• 4:25
  December. You can put it all out there and
• 4:27
  feel good that you're celebrating with a clean slate
• 4:30
  and then planning during that holiday time for what's
• 4:34
  happening next year. It's the best thing to give your
• 4:37
  brain that break knowing you're not piling something else,
• 4:41
  something new on top of something that didn't get done.
• 4:44
  Because when things don't get done, it's annoying to us and it
• 4:47
  makes us feel like we're just, I got more to do and I didn't even
• 4:51
  do what I wanted to do. And we all start telling
• 4:54
  ourselves a story and then we throw the towel in before we
• 4:56
  even start, which is ridiculous because why would we do that?
• 5:01
  We absolutely should not act that way.
• 5:03
  We should just be pouring into it, cleaning it up, feeling good
• 5:06
  about it. We have the time.
• 5:07
  So this is your little morning kick butt.
• 5:10
  Make the list, get it underway, make the plan, schedule it out.
• 5:14
  Because if you do, I promise you, you're going to be far
• 5:18
  happier. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:20
  you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:23
  Bye.
