  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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody good. Morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So this is the last. Day officially.
• 0:35
  Of my little staycation to work on everything at the farm.
• 0:39
  And I've gotten so much, I don't know, random things done that
• 0:45
  we're just bugging the hell out of me.
• 0:47
  And it's interesting because did I make a ton of progress in one
• 0:51
  specific area? No.
• 0:53
  Did I sit at my computer and do any of the work that I intended
• 0:57
  on doing? Nope.
• 0:58
  Didn't do it one bit. I But I got a lot done in all
• 1:03
  the random little things that were hanging out there.
• 1:06
  And I know from my own personal experience how those weigh on
• 1:11
  me, but I always seem to forget how much they weigh on me until
• 1:15
  I actually take care of them. And then I go, huh.
• 1:18
  Now, for instance, there may be something that's silly to some
• 1:22
  person, but not silly to me or to you in your own world.
• 1:27
  But those little tiny things eat away at our, at our, at our
• 1:32
  focus because they keep drawing us back in.
• 1:34
  They keep saying, hey, well, you didn't get this done, you didn't
• 1:37
  get this done, you didn't get this done.
• 1:39
  And and that's what was really bothersome.
• 1:42
  Like there are certain things that I can do during my normal
• 1:45
  week without having any issue at all.
• 1:47
  I get up very early. I can take care of stuff, but
• 1:50
  there are just some things that I really wanted to be able to do
• 1:53
  and focus my attention on them and give it like 100% of that
• 1:58
  attention being right out in front.
• 2:00
  Meaning if I'm, if I'm constructing something and I was
• 2:04
  constructing a new flower garden around that water garden that we
• 2:10
  have to bring in even more pollinators and give them more
• 2:12
  choices of food. And I mean, granted, it's a 2
• 2:17
  fold thing for me. Like I know I'm taking care of
• 2:20
  them in the process of doing it, but I also know that in the
• 2:23
  process of doing this, that I am making something absolutely
• 2:28
  beautiful for all of us to enjoy.
• 2:30
  And that's that's ultimately the goal that I love so much is
• 2:34
  having them come in and have a beautiful, you know, space to
• 2:38
  come in and a safe place where they can come in and keep
• 2:40
  getting all the food they need for whatever it is that they're
• 2:44
  doing. And I'm not just talking about
• 2:45
  butterflies. I'm talking about bees, native
• 2:48
  bees. I'm really big into helping
• 2:50
  native bees just because I know they need it.
• 2:54
  But anyway, I got that part done and it's something that started
• 2:59
  off to be intended in one way and then it grew into something
• 3:02
  completely different and it's going to keep expanding.
• 3:06
  And I've actually called the gentleman that I've had do some
• 3:10
  other things out here to come and check it out and say, hey,
• 3:13
  can, what are your thoughts with this?
• 3:15
  Because I'm kind of a little bit out of, I want to do something
• 3:18
  bigger, but I need equipment and so many little things.
• 3:21
  I even went and looked at a tractor because there are
• 3:25
  limitations to what I can physically do by myself, like
• 3:29
  stripping away soil when she feels my pain, stripping away
• 3:33
  soil. I would need a tractor for that
• 3:36
  to help me. There are just certain things
• 3:38
  that would go better if I had something.
• 3:40
  So and I made the decision to go and spend the time to, to
• 3:45
  actually look at that. And I have to tell you, it was
• 3:48
  such an invigorating feeling to know that I could sit there, not
• 3:53
  rush, have a conversation and say, OK, I want to come back,
• 3:57
  give me everything. Telling them, hey, listen, I'm
• 3:59
  making a comparison. I'm going here, I'm looking at
• 4:02
  this, you know, I'm going to let you know, let you know, but I'm,
• 4:06
  I'm definitely making a comparison and I felt so good
• 4:10
  about doing all of that. I just felt like it was so smart
• 4:13
  and so beneficial to my brain to do something like this.
• 4:18
  So why am I bringing this up? Because I know as a human being,
• 4:22
  you have to, if you're listening to this and you're a human,
• 4:24
  which I assume you are, you are going to be feeling the same
• 4:28
  way. You're going to be saying, hey,
• 4:30
  I have these things. I have these bothersome things
• 4:33
  that get to me. I can't stand them.
• 4:35
  I don't like them. I wish I could have taken them
• 4:38
  off my list. So sit down and make the list of
• 4:43
  those little tiny. And again, this isn't like the
• 4:46
  annoying list. These aren't things that are
• 4:48
  annoying you. They're just small little things
• 4:50
  that are looming out there. They're just little, tiny things
• 4:53
  that, you know, oh man, I just love to get that taken care of.
• 4:57
  And if you did, how, how much of A relief would it be to you to
• 5:00
  actually have it done? And that's how I'm thinking of
• 5:03
  it is it's not annoying as much as I really want this done
• 5:09
  because it's something I really wanted.
• 5:11
  So look at it from the perspective of these are not,
• 5:15
  these are not bad things. These are just things that you
• 5:18
  you really, really want. So focus on that and clean it up
• 5:21
  because I promise you it will feel so much better.
• 5:24
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:27
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
