  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
• 0:23
  let's start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. So I want to talk to you about a
• 0:32
  little experience I had yesterday.
• 0:34
  I was headed out, I had to go do a bunch of chores and I stopped
• 0:38
  at a coffee shop and got an iced coffee.
• 0:42
  And while I was getting it, they had all the televisions on in
• 0:45
  there and it was a Sunday morning.
• 0:47
  It was quiet. It was nice.
• 0:49
  Why was everybody watching news and all the news channels were
• 0:54
  just, you know, doing what news channels do and making it?
• 0:58
  Extremely difficult for anyone to just sit and have a relaxing
• 1:01
  time, at said. Coffee shop.
• 1:03
  You know, I was just in and out quickly.
• 1:05
  I was on my way to do my chores. And so it was in and out for me.
• 1:09
  But the point of this is if you want to find bad things in this
• 1:13
  world, you can find bad things in this world.
• 1:16
  And I sat in that coffee shop and I was so frustrated with
• 1:19
  how, how bad it sounded. And I left.
• 1:21
  He got in my truck and I shook it off.
• 1:23
  And then I went to Costco, which is a happy place for me, and got
• 1:27
  my stuff. And it was Sunday.
• 1:28
  And, you know, it was just, it was early, early in the morning
• 1:32
  when they first opened Breeze in and out.
• 1:34
  It was great. And then I had the, you know, I
• 1:38
  had the pleasure of coming back to the farm.
• 1:41
  When I got here, it was like nobody was here.
• 1:43
  It was just me. I was unloading my stuff, the
• 1:46
  girls were all running around and I just sat down with my
• 1:49
  chickens. And I thought, you know, if you
• 1:51
  want to look for bad things in this world, it is constantly
• 1:55
  available. Couldn't even go get a coffee
• 1:57
  without finding it. And it's much harder to find the
• 2:00
  good things in this world because, and one reason only, we
• 2:04
  don't look and we really have to stop and pause.
• 2:08
  And as I sit here and, and recording this for you, I gave
• 2:12
  the girls a pumpkin to which they didn't want to touch it.
• 2:15
  They just kept looking at it like I was insane.
• 2:18
  And I've given it to them before, but apparently they
• 2:21
  don't have enough that they remember.
• 2:22
  So I had to go in and get a knife and scrape around the
• 2:25
  edges so they could see that they could actually Peck at it
• 2:27
  'cause every time they hit it, nothing was happened and they
• 2:30
  walked away. But at first they wouldn't even
• 2:32
  go near it. And it was so entertaining to me
• 2:35
  about how they were like, so interested but not willing to
• 2:41
  touch. And just the Roosters keep
• 2:43
  walking around it like we don't know what to do with you, but
• 2:45
  you seem to be kind of inanimate.
• 2:47
  I don't have to worry about you. But it's always funny to me how
• 2:52
  I can just come out here and I can sit down and I can just
• 2:55
  decompress right away with chickens.
• 2:58
  And you would not think that would be the case.
• 3:00
  You would think it other things would be going on.
• 3:02
  But Nope, I can totally do that. I can just come out here, be
• 3:06
  with the animals and feel a completely different reality
• 3:09
  from the rest of the world. So what does that mean for us?
• 3:12
  Well, because we have these phones with us all the time.
• 3:16
  We have the access to find, you know, our own algorithm.
• 3:21
  Remember, we are if you were on social media and you're using
• 3:26
  Instagram, Facebook, TikTok X YouTube, everything studies you
• 3:33
  and it says, well, I want to have this algorithm that feeds
• 3:36
  you what you look for. So if you are doom scrolling,
• 3:39
  you're going to get more doom and you're going to get doom in
• 3:41
  which it aligns with what you're saying.
• 3:43
  This is all common knowledge. I'm not telling you anything you
• 3:46
  don't know. But what you're probably not
• 3:48
  aware of is how much of A toxic state it's leaving your brain
• 3:52
  in. And I know we think, oh, it's
• 3:53
  not good for us, but I don't do that much of it.
• 3:55
  I'm telling you, even a little bit of poison ruins it.
• 3:58
  And I'll say the story again. That's always the best for this.
• 4:02
  It's the rain barrel story. If I was, you know, having
• 4:05
  everybody over to the farm and I had a giant rain barrel of pure
• 4:09
  fresh water that had been filtered and wonderful.
• 4:12
  And I was serving water to everybody.
• 4:14
  And I said, oh, yeah, this is the cleanest water you can find.
• 4:17
  You know, it just has one drop of arsenic in it.
• 4:19
  But, you know, the FDA says that's fine, you can drink it.
• 4:22
  It's not going to kill you. Would you drink it?
• 4:25
  You're you would look at me like I was absolutely out of my ever
• 4:28
  loving mind. You wouldn't touch it.
• 4:29
  But the problem is that's what happens with all this other
• 4:33
  stuff. Now I have to use social media
• 4:35
  because it's part of my business, but I limit myself.
• 4:38
  It is not on my iPad at all. My iPad has no access to it.
• 4:43
  Nothing, zip, zilch, nada. I don't go on on my computer.
• 4:48
  I use it occasionally, 2 times, maybe three times a day.
• 4:52
  I limit it. I post, I get out because I
• 4:55
  can't focus on all the toxicity. Now when you do look at my
• 4:59
  algorithm on my YouTube channel, you see that it's all about
• 5:02
  chickens and flowers and farming and things like that.
• 5:06
  Baking, cooking, you it it all. It's all about old world skills.
• 5:11
  There is nothing on there about the news, what's happening in
• 5:15
  the world, how quickly we're diseased, what we can cure.
• 5:19
  I don't want any of that there. And if I search for that, I'm
• 5:23
  going to tell you a trick. If I have to go search for
• 5:25
  something, especially if I'm working on something with a
• 5:28
  client, I pop an Incognito window.
• 5:31
  And in case you have never done that before, it's an option that
• 5:34
  you have on Google Chrome where you can go right up in the right
• 5:38
  hand corner. It will there are three stacked
• 5:40
  snowman dots. And if you click on those in the
• 5:43
  in your browser window, you can see that it says new Incognito
• 5:48
  window, which means there is no tracking that can take place.
• 5:51
  And so you can search something and not have the all of a sudden
• 5:55
  every algorithm in the world following you.
• 5:57
  And it's a great trick, especially if you have to look
• 5:59
  up something. And you know, you don't want
• 6:03
  that to be part of your search. But just remember, choose your
• 6:06
  algorithm wisely because if you don't, you're going to make
• 6:10
  yourself unhappy. And I choose mine very wisely.
• 6:14
  And that's why you hear chickens in the background.
• 6:16
  My friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you
• 6:19
  tomorrow. Bye.
