• 0:01
  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop Podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I.
• 0:07
  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 every day to
• 0:14
  record a podcast to teach distinctions, possibilities, new
• 0:18
  ways of thinking, and just bring some joy into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop. And let's.
• 0:23
  Start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good afternoon from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  We are out doing chores and we are recording now, you know,
• 0:36
  basically because the weather is absolutely going to be horrible
• 0:39
  in the morning. So we're doing it today.
• 0:42
  Anyway, talking about gifts today, what do you think your
• 0:47
  biggest gifts are that you want to utilize in the new year?
• 0:52
  Now this is a big question because there are plenty of
• 0:55
  times that we do not recognize our own gifts.
• 0:59
  So when I say, hey, what are the biggest gifts that you have
• 1:03
  within yourself that you want to utilize?
• 1:06
  Some of you are going to sit there stumped.
• 1:08
  You're going to be like, wait, what?
• 1:09
  What is she talking about? What does she mean?
• 1:11
  What gifts do I have? So this could be your
• 1:14
  creativity, it could be your organization, it could be how
• 1:18
  you deem yourself to be a combo of both those things.
• 1:23
  It could be many things. You could be a great chef, you
• 1:26
  could be a beautiful artist. You could be an excellent
• 1:29
  photographer. There are so many gifts that we
• 1:33
  all have. You could just be a really nice
• 1:35
  person and love to connect with people and just give them that
• 1:39
  smile that you have every day that makes people feel good and
• 1:42
  feel connected. It could be so many different
• 1:45
  things, but the truth is the gifts that we have are meant to
• 1:49
  be shared and often we forget that we even have those gifts
• 1:54
  and we forget that we are able to share those gifts.
• 1:58
  So I always like just when I go into the new year, I want to
• 2:03
  make sure I'm utilizing my gifts because those gifts come from
• 2:07
  God and what you do with them are your gifts back.
• 2:09
  Now you may say, all right, I don't want to think of it as
• 2:12
  God. Maybe it's the universe,
• 2:13
  whatever it is. But the phrase that I always
• 2:15
  learned was your gifts are a gift from God and what you do
• 2:18
  with them are the gift back. And whether you you recognize
• 2:23
  your gifts or not is also, I believe a gift back to whence
• 2:29
  they came. So we really have to hone in on
• 2:31
  this and say, I want to recognize them first.
• 2:36
  I want to look at them. I want to appreciate them.
• 2:39
  I want to see how much I can, you know, feel abundant and good
• 2:45
  about it. And then I want to be able to
• 2:47
  utilize it to give it back. I want to be able to share it.
• 2:51
  So I believe that my gift for making things simple,
• 2:56
  understandable, connecting with people, being creative, all
• 2:59
  those parts of me that I think are, you know, I'm so blessed to
• 3:04
  have, I want to utilize them. That's why I do the podcast
• 3:08
  because I believe being able to do this is a gift back and I
• 3:12
  want to make sure I'm good at it.
• 3:14
  I think about what I'm going to talk about most days.
• 3:17
  I'd say, you know, 95% of the time, sometimes it's just off
• 3:21
  the cuff, but most days I've got a plan and I like to go out and
• 3:26
  share it and I can do it consistently because I'm so
• 3:30
  excited about the fact that I get to teach.
• 3:34
  I get to do something I always wanted to do and writing books,
• 3:38
  being creative, taking pictures, all those things are parts that
• 3:43
  make me feel like I have something I can share.
• 3:46
  So when I share a little videos from the farm, like really
• 3:50
  starting to focus on sharing more videos.
• 3:53
  If you haven't visited the YouTube channel, please go visit
• 3:55
  the YouTube channel at Mindset with Kim on YouTube.
• 3:58
  And you can see little things that I'm putting up every day.
• 4:01
  And to me, that's just slices of real life and being able to do
• 4:07
  real things and show everybody. But it makes people feel good.
• 4:12
  I put up a video this morning of me and Buford, my dog sitting on
• 4:18
  the steps and me introducing him.
• 4:20
  And that video has gone crazy. Everybody getting so many
• 4:24
  comments and likes and views. It's, it's insane.
• 4:28
  And that's just like a, it was a, it was a quick short.
• 4:32
  I just did it because I wanted everybody to know that this
• 4:34
  special character is in my life. And clearly it made people
• 4:40
  happy. And that's the goal of what
• 4:42
  we're doing, at least here. For me, that's my goal.
• 4:45
  I want to help people contribute to their happiness.
• 4:48
  So it's a, it's a perfect way to share if you want to do
• 4:53
  something like that, but you may have something else that you
• 4:55
  want to do because your gifts may be different.
• 4:58
  My mother used to needlepoint and she loved to give away her
• 5:01
  needlepoint. And she used to make Afghans.
• 5:03
  I have a ton of them. And I love that I still have
• 5:06
  those Afghans long after she's gone.
• 5:09
  Those are beautiful gifts to give to people.
• 5:11
  But it's, it's not just things. It can be, you know, just your
• 5:15
  kindness, as I said before. So really think about that and
• 5:19
  say, as I go into this year, what gifts do I want to really
• 5:22
  hone in on appreciate for myself and then be able to give back so
• 5:26
  that I know I am doing the full circle.
• 5:30
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:33
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
