  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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. We are actually walking and we
• 0:33
  are headed out to the garden because we are going to
• 0:37
  transplant a lot of the tomatoes that have had the challenge
• 0:42
  where they got destroyed. Basically not the upper parts of
• 0:47
  the plants were not destroyed, but it was not the roots were
• 0:50
  destroyed, but the little part of the stem right around the
• 0:53
  middle. Something decided to eat through
• 0:56
  it. Apparently it was delicious and
• 0:58
  it decided to eat through it. And lo and behold, the plant
• 1:02
  looked like it had gone through a garbage disposal all week and,
• 1:07
  you know, just flopped over. So I decided to experiment by
• 1:11
  cutting off the plant where the incident happened, rooting them
• 1:17
  in water to see if I could get them to do it, and then
• 1:20
  replanting them. And it has been a huge success,
• 1:24
  a tremendous success. And again, everything in this
• 1:27
  world of farming and gardening and flowers and veggies and
• 1:31
  fruits is always an experiment. And I am constantly having to
• 1:36
  shift and make things, you know, an, an experiment long term.
• 1:42
  So this doesn't always bode well with my certainty girl because
• 1:48
  I'm forever having to shift things around and make it so
• 1:51
  that I can get the outcomes I want.
• 1:54
  But guess what? That's very challenging when you
• 1:57
  are, if you hear a noise in the background, that's me pulling
• 1:59
  the little wagon with all the stuff in it.
• 2:02
  It It's very challenging when you're certainty driven because
• 2:07
  there's no way to say, OK, this is absolute, this is going to
• 2:12
  work. I can have an intention, I can
• 2:15
  manifest that I can say, OK, I'm intending this is this has
• 2:19
  already happened. I can put all of that good stuff
• 2:22
  out there. But in the final analysis, it
• 2:25
  can still all get screwed up. And I have to have an additional
• 2:30
  belief added into this that it's all for the greater good.
• 2:34
  It's all for the reason that I, I must be able to shift my
• 2:40
  awareness and be able to say, OK, I need to do something
• 2:43
  different. I need to do something different
• 2:45
  right now. So it's OK and it's part of the
• 2:48
  process, it's part of growth. And for me, the line is always,
• 2:54
  and it's really pushing my creativity to think differently.
• 2:57
  And then magically I'm OK with it all.
• 3:00
  As soon as I start saying stuff like that to myself, like, oh,
• 3:04
  this is how I grow my creativity, This is how I see
• 3:08
  myself differently. I mean, that makes all the
• 3:12
  difference. So I can shift.
• 3:16
  I can be excited about it. I can say I've got it, I've
• 3:19
  locked it down. I understand.
• 3:22
  And then I feel good about it because I, I'm, it's making my
• 3:26
  creativity grow because for me, one of the highest priorities is
• 3:30
  that I'm always being creative. I'm always looking to be
• 3:33
  creative. I'm always thinking differently.
• 3:35
  I'm always trying to find ways to push my imagination and my
• 3:39
  creativity. And by doing that, I feel good
• 3:43
  it. I don't need rest.
• 3:45
  I don't need vacations. I don't need pretty purses.
• 3:48
  I don't need all kinds of stuff. I need my creativity to be off
• 3:52
  the chart. And when my creativity is off
• 3:54
  the chart, I feel really fantastic.
• 3:57
  And just recognizing that for myself is such a big deal.
• 4:01
  Because the moment I do that, the moment I have that
• 4:04
  awareness, I start to go, OK, I got this.
• 4:08
  This is a good thing. This is a good thing.
• 4:10
  And I can, I can make anything happen at that point.
• 4:13
  But when I forget that, when I forget that detail, when I
• 4:16
  forget that that's where my head is, then all of a sudden I feel
• 4:20
  crappy and I feel like, you know, this is, this is not good.
• 4:26
  I don't have certainty. I need to find it.
• 4:28
  I need to figure out what, what can I do to so I know this is
• 4:31
  going to work. And then you're, you're off the
• 4:34
  rails at that point. So just from the standard of
• 4:38
  setting yourself up and saying, Hey, listen, if I know that one
• 4:42
  of my highest priorities is to be creative, then I 1000% know
• 4:48
  that I can find ways to make that happen.
• 4:51
  Even in all the problems, even in the challenges, even in the
• 4:55
  stuff that doesn't seem like it's good, I can still find ways
• 4:59
  to make it happen. And that's the point of today's
• 5:03
  little visit out here to the garden, is that I look at the
• 5:06
  tomatoes and they're a constant reminder of the fact that,
• 5:10
  listen, I thought I had this all perfect.
• 5:12
  I started them the right time. I did the right seeds, I had the
• 5:15
  right stuff. I did the bags this year instead
• 5:17
  of putting them right in the ground so they wouldn't have the
• 5:19
  disease. And even with all of that, even
• 5:22
  with all of that, I still had a challenge.
• 5:25
  And that challenge, it turned out to be really pushing my
• 5:30
  creativity, which turned out to make me really happy.
• 5:34
  So remember, it doesn't always have to be what you think in the
• 5:39
  beginning. You can change it, you can morph
• 5:41
  it, you can make it different, make it better, but give
• 5:44
  yourself the gift. Give yourself the gift and make
• 5:49
  sure you understand that in the problems you can still find ways
• 5:54
  to use your imagination and your creativity.
• 5:57
  Hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:00
  Bye.
