  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.
• 0:14
  Podcast to teach distinctions, possibilities, new ways of
• 0:18
  thinking, and just bring some joy into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good afternoon
• 0:29
  from the very, very, very cold chicken coop.
• 0:33
  You know, I have to say the weather does feel invigorating,
• 0:36
  having it be cold because you can't walk outside without going
• 0:39
  and it kind of makes you jump around and pay attention.
• 0:43
  But you know, I'm not a fan of this.
• 0:45
  In any event, today we were talking about pushing through
• 0:49
  when you know you don't want to. And we're talking about this
• 0:52
  because I am working on paperwork and it sucks.
• 0:55
  And I've been doing it for days and days.
• 0:57
  And right when I was at the end, right when I thought I was
• 0:59
  finished, I remembered a whole section that we hadn't touched.
• 1:04
  And I looked at Mark and I said, Hey, do you think you could pull
• 1:07
  up those accounts so we could take a look at them and what we
• 1:10
  put on that? And and he was like, Yep.
• 1:12
  And he says it's so matter of factly.
• 1:14
  And I'm like, Oh my gosh, I am feel like I'm never going to
• 1:17
  finish this. And in that moment, I recognize,
• 1:20
  wait a minute, that is a borrowed trait that I have
• 1:25
  showing up old patterns from what my mom used to say.
• 1:29
  And she's like, I'm never going to finish this.
• 1:32
  It never ends. And I can hear it in my head.
• 1:36
  And isn't it amazing that after all these years of, you know,
• 1:40
  I'm a grown woman with children of my own, You know, just think
• 1:45
  about that. It's still in my head.
• 1:48
  From what I heard when I was a kid.
• 1:50
  So often this happens and so often we get trapped by it.
• 1:54
  So my immediate thing was to jump up and say, Nope, I'm going
• 1:58
  to go run outside. I'm going to give the girls a
• 2:00
  snack. I'm going to record tomorrow's
• 2:01
  podcast because it's going to be way too cold in the morning and
• 2:04
  I'm going to change my state. So this is an example of how to
• 2:08
  change your state. So for me, coming to this group,
• 2:11
  as you all know, is like a reset button for me.
• 2:14
  I love it. I came out, I brought them some
• 2:15
  peanuts today, not peanuts that are in a shell, but unshelled
• 2:19
  peanuts and they absolutely love them.
• 2:21
  They go crazy when they have them.
• 2:22
  So I got a big huge bag, a tractor supply of peanuts and
• 2:27
  they chow on them now. I give them more calories in the
• 2:30
  winter always because it's important, but I don't like to
• 2:33
  give them calories that come from corn, which is a very
• 2:37
  common thing to give farm animals.
• 2:39
  But it's just like eating, you know, sugar all the time.
• 2:42
  So instead I give them peanuts and they go crazy for it.
• 2:46
  And just to watch them get so excited and see them come
• 2:49
  running, I think they can smell them.
• 2:51
  But it's a complete change. It's changes my state.
• 2:55
  And it makes me feel so much more alive when I can do that.
• 2:59
  And then I can go walk back in. And even though it is late in a
• 3:03
  on a Sunday afternoon, it's already almost 5:00 and I'm
• 3:06
  still working on this paperwork. I'm committed.
• 3:08
  I am sitting there until it is done.
• 3:11
  And if I have to go, if it hits my bedtime when I will be up at
• 3:14
  3:00 in the morning working on it again because I am committed
• 3:17
  to getting it in by tomorrow morning.
• 3:20
  Monday was my deadline that I gave myself and that's it.
• 3:23
  I'm done. But I'm not going to allow
• 3:25
  myself to feel overwhelmed by it.
• 3:27
  And the closer I get, I'm telling myself so close, I'm so
• 3:31
  close, I'm so close that invigorates me instead of making
• 3:35
  me feel drained. It's a great technique to try
• 3:38
  and but you've got to pay attention to what is the
• 3:41
  language that you're saying to yourself because if you don't
• 3:43
  know what you're saying to yourself, you're never going to
• 3:45
  be able to pick up on it. So try it.
• 3:49
  Look, see, what am I telling myself?
• 3:51
  What are those little things that are going off in my head?
• 3:54
  Because if you catch them, you can reframe them.
• 3:56
  And the minute you can reframe them is when you win.
• 4:00
  And I always find it better to say, OK, once I ask the question
• 4:04
  of what am I saying to myself? And I hear it, then I want to
• 4:07
  find the exact opposite and say it.
• 4:09
  So if I'm drained, no, I'm exhilarated, I'm filled up.
• 4:13
  I'm, I'm being, you know, energized, I'm going to say the
• 4:16
  exact opposite of it. And if you can't come up with
• 4:19
  what the opposite is, Google something, say what's the
• 4:21
  opposite of this, and it will give you an answer.
• 4:24
  And it's it's great because it gives you different ways to
• 4:27
  think of something. Now, will you have to do this
• 4:29
  4,000,000 times? Yes, you will, because that's
• 4:31
  how the brain works. Welcome to being human, my
• 4:33
  friends. So I'm going to take my frozen
• 4:37
  butt back in the house and I will see you all tomorrow
• 4:40
  invigorated and done with what I'm doing.
• 4:43
  All right. I hope.
• 4:44
  You guys. Have a.
• 4:44
  Blessed day, bye.
