  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 mastermind, set coach, creative strategist, and also
• 0:09
  happened to 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 from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we are talking about the fact that none of us are
• 0:34
  100% whatever we're focused on all the time.
• 0:40
  I mean, meaning that you're never 100% strong, you're never
• 0:44
  100% honest. Now, I know this is a very hard
• 0:48
  concept to take in because you think, no, I'm honest.
• 0:51
  But there are times if we're completely being honest with
• 0:55
  ourselves, that we do not always go and tell the truth.
• 0:58
  And we'll say things like, Oh yeah, I'd love to have dinner
• 1:02
  with you, but we really wouldn't.
• 1:03
  We just don't want to hurt the person's feelings.
• 1:06
  And The thing is, when we have this absolute in our head, like
• 1:09
  100% of the time I have to be at 100% it it's debilitating
• 1:15
  because it causes stress. So This is why we are having
• 1:18
  this conversation, talking about it because we none of us are
• 1:22
  100%. Now me being what I do and what
• 1:25
  I do, people often say, well, you're always on.
• 1:28
  No, I'm not. I'm not always on.
• 1:30
  And and I don't always manage my state the right way and I can
• 1:35
  lose my patience and my temper for sure.
• 1:38
  I can get frustrated for sure. Do I sit and cry?
• 1:42
  Yes. Do I have, I have moments where
• 1:44
  I'm overwhelmed with my creativity and I want to scream
• 1:47
  because there's so much of it going on in my head and I don't
• 1:51
  know how to manage it all and I can't capture it all and I can't
• 1:54
  even make it all happen? Yes.
• 1:56
  Do I walk out into this chicken coop and see all the things that
• 2:00
  I could do out here and all the things I want to create for them
• 2:04
  and get so frustrated that physically I can't do some of
• 2:07
  the stuff? Like I, I've got this whole
• 2:10
  entryway that I want to build coming into the coop to shade it
• 2:13
  so that they don't have that heat banging in on them in the
• 2:16
  summer. And I can't do it by myself.
• 2:18
  I can't, I can't pour holes and I can't put the the concrete in.
• 2:23
  I can't get up there and do I just physically I cannot do that
• 2:27
  work. And is that frustrating to me?
• 2:29
  You have no idea. And someone would say, well,
• 2:33
  you're positive all the time. No, I'm positive a great deal of
• 2:37
  the time. And if you asked me how often am
• 2:39
  I positive, I would say, you know, I'm, I'm good solid 85 to
• 2:44
  95% of the time I am solid, happy and focused.
• 2:50
  But 100% of the time, no way, no way.
• 2:52
  I might say it for an hour. I could pick that and and do it.
• 2:56
  But because we're human, it's a moving target.
• 2:59
  It's we all know it and when that's the whole size of the 72
• 3:03
  hour bus challenge. When you do it, when you if
• 3:06
  you're new and you don't know when you read the who's driving
• 3:08
  your bus book that I wrote in the back of the book, there's a
• 3:11
  72 hour challenge where you monitor your emotions for 72
• 3:14
  hours. And the point of this is to help
• 3:17
  you understand how rapid and crazy our emotions can be and
• 3:21
  how they go back and forth so quickly that it's debilitating
• 3:26
  because one minute you're fine and the next minute you're not.
• 3:28
  And that challenge lets you realize we there are nothing
• 3:32
  100% of the time. We're 100% human.
• 3:35
  That's what we are. And that means our emotions
• 3:38
  change like the wind. They, it, it's like that one
• 3:41
  minute there's little breeze. One minute there's no breeze.
• 3:43
  One minute it's like you feel like it's stagnant.
• 3:46
  The next minute you feel fresh air.
• 3:48
  That's just how it works in the world.
• 3:50
  That's just how it works in the world.
• 3:52
  So when you start to consider the 100% factor and we say,
• 3:57
  well, no, I'm 100% honest. I mean, come on, there's no way.
• 4:00
  I mean, I can tell you right now I'm not now, I'm not talking
• 4:04
  about in my profession when I'm talking to my clients because I
• 4:08
  have to really be honest with them.
• 4:10
  But I don't do it in a brutal way.
• 4:12
  But I am honest with them. And I can tell you that 98% of
• 4:17
  the time I am extremely honest with them.
• 4:20
  And there's always that little tiny bit where I have to soften
• 4:23
  it because they wouldn't. They're not ready to hear it,
• 4:26
  but I'm still giving them the truth now in the rest of my
• 4:31
  life. Well, you know, other times when
• 4:33
  I'm not, yes, 100% I'll tell somebody, oh, that's great,
• 4:39
  yummy food, whatever. And I'm like, it's, it's OK.
• 4:41
  I mean, it's not over the top, but I'm not going to hurt
• 4:44
  someone's feelings just to stick with a rule that might not be
• 4:48
  the best rule. So whatever it is, whatever it
• 4:52
  is, you have to look at it and say I'm even when I say I'm 100%
• 4:56
  committed, OK, to doing the jump rope.
• 4:59
  Anybody who follows me knows I've been doing the jump rope
• 5:01
  thing. OK, I am doing the jump rope
• 5:04
  thing, yes. Am I still working on it?
• 5:06
  Yes. Have I done it every single day?
• 5:08
  No. You know why?
• 5:10
  Because every single day my body hurts when I still do it.
• 5:14
  So I've been doing this since the beginning of the year.
• 5:16
  I don't trip anymore, but I still have not been doing it
• 5:19
  every single day. And I am getting better, but I'm
• 5:23
  still not there. So you see how this is 100% this
• 5:27
  rule 100% go think about it because it it causes us to have
• 5:32
  stress when we think we have to do that because we don't.
• 5:35
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:38
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
