  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.
• 0:15
  Teach distinctions, possibilities, new ways of
• 0:18
  thinking, and just bring some joy.
• 0:20
  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. Today is milestone day in our
• 0:31
  household because my son, the youngest 1, is going off to take
• 0:38
  his full day of drivers education.
• 0:41
  It's a little boot camp day and he's going to be there all day
• 0:46
  today. And this is such a big thing for
• 0:49
  me because it is it represents so much for him that he's able
• 0:54
  to go. But it's also the fact that how
• 0:56
  far we have come and how how much he has grown and how much
• 1:03
  he has just transformed. And watching this happen just
• 1:07
  brings me so much joy. At the same time, it brings me
• 1:12
  so much angst because one, I'm going to worry about him.
• 1:15
  At the same time, it brings me that sorrow that he's not that
• 1:18
  little tiny boy anymore. And it was just the perfect
• 1:22
  scenario as I was sitting there thinking about what am I going
• 1:24
  to talk to him about today? About how we all go through
• 1:28
  these, these ups and downs in our lives with our emotions.
• 1:31
  But The funny thing about it is emotion is, is so fluid and we
• 1:37
  experience multiple emotions at the same time.
• 1:39
  And I'm having all the emotions today, all the emotions this
• 1:43
  morning. So as I'm getting, he hasn't
• 1:46
  gotten up yet and as I'm getting ready to get my stuff together,
• 1:50
  make him breakfast, you know, just everything I'm thinking
• 1:54
  about is, gosh, I can't believe I'm taking him for this today.
• 1:58
  Just such a big thing. And for it hits you different at
• 2:02
  different points with different kids.
• 2:04
  Like for me, I had this huge wave of emotion when my daughter
• 2:07
  graduated from kindergarten. I was a basket case.
• 2:11
  And I'm having that kind of feeling today about this.
• 2:15
  Like I wouldn't have expected this this morning, but it hit me
• 2:18
  in a big way. And OK, so you process it, you
• 2:23
  go with it, You don't. I, I'm not pushing it away.
• 2:26
  I'm allowing myself to cry. I'm allowing myself to feel all
• 2:29
  the feels and all the tears and all of it.
• 2:34
  And it's OK. It's part of the process.
• 2:36
  And I will not be letting him see that I am a basket case.
• 2:41
  I will let him see the tears, but I won't let him see the
• 2:46
  overflow of it all because then he thinks, oh, he has to fix it.
• 2:50
  He's that kid. And I don't want him to feel
• 2:52
  that way. So I will persevere and I will
• 2:56
  move through it, but I will allow myself to feel all the
• 2:58
  fields. And I can assure you that today
• 3:01
  I will be doing things that help me process all of those things
• 3:05
  like being out and gardening. If we have a pause in the rain,
• 3:10
  I think. But even if I can't go out and
• 3:13
  do that, I'll be sorting seeds. I'll be going through pictures,
• 3:16
  I'll be doing something that fills me up.
• 3:19
  Maybe I'll do some coloring, maybe I've got my new Spirograph
• 3:22
  kit and I'll do some of that. But I will be doing all the
• 3:25
  things that help me process the emotions because they're not
• 3:29
  here to bother me and make me miserable.
• 3:31
  They're here to let me know this is a big thing and I should
• 3:34
  appreciate it. And that's what I'm going to do
• 3:35
  today. So I'm going to, I'm going to
• 3:39
  end on this note. Please realize that when you are
• 3:42
  having an emotion, there may be another one behind it and
• 3:46
  another one behind it. And the more you figure out what
• 3:50
  they're all trying to tell you, the better off you are to
• 3:53
  process through things. So don't disregard all of them.
• 3:57
  And I think I'm going to have a long bus filled today with a lot
• 4:00
  of different emotions, my friends.
• 4:02
  So I'm going to go do that. And I hope you guys have a
• 4:06
  blessed day and I will see you soon.
• 4:08
  Bye.
