- 0:01Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
- 0:04Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
- 0:07a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
- 0:10be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
- 0:12come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
- 0:16distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
- 0:20some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
- 0:23start your day off in a fantastic way, hey?
- 0:27Everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30It is a glorious day. It is just the sun is just
- 0:36coming up and I'm able to get out here early with the girls
- 0:40and they are super happy eating blueberries and rice and
- 0:43shredded zucchini and everybody's very happy.
- 0:46So I want to talk to you a little bit today about how when
- 0:50we when we are in the midst of our dysfunction and we are
- 0:56hunkered down in it like, you know, this is what's wrong, this
- 0:59is what's wrong, this is what's wrong.
- 1:00Often times we forget that we have control to change our
- 1:05thoughts even in a small dose, even in just a teeny tiny little
- 1:09way. So my question for you is, how
- 1:13do you break your own pattern? What do you do to break your
- 1:15pattern? And I thought it would be, you
- 1:19know, a valuable question considering, you know, here we
- 1:22are, April, mid-april, we just passed the tax deadline.
- 1:27People are have filed for extensions.
- 1:29They're feeling like I'm overwhelmed or some people got
- 1:32filed in time. Some people are OK, But this
- 1:36time of the year usually triggers a lot of emotion around
- 1:39things. And it's it's not wrong to have
- 1:43these emotions. You can be frustrated.
- 1:45You can look at yourself and go, every year I say, I'm going to
- 1:48do this the right way. And then every year I get stuck
- 1:50in the same pattern. I'm believe me, I've been there.
- 1:53I've done that over and over and over again.
- 1:56But the question that we have to look at is sometimes taking the
- 1:59big swing when you go to bat and taking the big swing to make a
- 2:02big change is too much to make. So these small changes, these
- 2:08small interruptions of patterns can really help us long term
- 2:12stack up so we can change our bigger things that we need to.
- 2:16So how do you change it in a small way?
- 2:19So for me, I, and I say this with all sincerity, one of the
- 2:23easiest ways to get yourself to change is to wash your hands and
- 2:28wash your face. Now, for a lot of people, they
- 2:30don't like to do that. They put their makeup on and
- 2:32then it's like, oh, you can't wash your face.
- 2:35But even splashing a little water, like under your eyes a
- 2:38little bit, just rubbing it can help so much to shift your
- 2:43state. It breaks your pattern.
- 2:44Washing your hands with nice warm water and taking a moment
- 2:50to look at your hands, wash your hands.
- 2:52It doesn't just break your pattern in the fact of
- 2:55physically, it breaks it emotionally because your fingers
- 2:58pick up lots of energy from everything you're doing.
- 3:01And it's, it's 100% true. That's why healers, if you have
- 3:05ever been to a Reiki healer, they use their hands to heal.
- 3:09And you can feel the energy shift when you wash your hands
- 3:13and you can actually feel like, I know when I go shopping and
- 3:16I've been with a cart and I'm holding it, walking through
- 3:20Whole Foods, I'll come out and I'll be like, oh, I need to wash
- 3:23my hands. I, I can feel the grime on it
- 3:26and I don't like it. So it's one of those you pick up
- 3:30on things, you pick up on the energy.
- 3:32I can't see. My hands weren't dirty touching
- 3:34the cart like I didn't see the dirt, but I knew something was
- 3:38there. And that's the fun part of
- 3:40understanding like Reiki healers and how they use their hands.
- 3:43And that is an A huge interrupt of you can interrupt it quickly,
- 3:47pattern interrupt, wash your hands, wash your hands, wash
- 3:49your hands and you'll see. If you hung around with me,
- 3:53you'd see. I do it a lot because it's a
- 3:55great way to shift energy. Another great way to shift
- 3:59energy is to set timers on your phone that reminds you to do
- 4:03check insurance. So as you set those timers and
- 4:05you have those check insurance, you're able to like really see
- 4:08quickly how, how you, you are in that moment.
- 4:12And it's like a, a really cool check in because immediately you
- 4:16have this like it breaks your pattern, the alarm goes off, you
- 4:20go, what, what is that for? And then you see, OK, I've got
- 4:24this. I need to check this
- 4:25immediately. When you check it, all of a
- 4:27sudden you're like, OK, yeah, I did need to do that.
- 4:30I did need to take that break. Now, when the alarm goes off,
- 4:34it's up to you what you want to do for me.
- 4:35I'm just like, OK, where was my head?
- 4:38Like, that's a great question. Where was my head?
- 4:40Was my head in the same space as my body?
- 4:42So if I'm gardening, I never have to ask that question
- 4:45because my head is like totally focused on the dirt.
- 4:49It's unless I hear something like that, which will
- 4:51immediately pull me because that means that I've got a crow
- 4:53friend in the neighborhood and he's calling out to me.
- 4:57So I will always stop and look up and say, OK, but that's a
- 4:59good alarm to break my pattern anyway.
- 5:02So when the alarm goes off, you just check yourself and be like,
- 5:05all right, is am I aligned? Am I aligned That gives you such
- 5:10a huge gift. Now, those are a couple of mine.
- 5:13Come up with a couple of your own that you have, that you can
- 5:15set, that you can do, but do them repeatedly throughout the
- 5:19day because I promise you that will make a huge, huge
- 5:23difference. OK my friends, I hope you have a
- 5:26blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
- 5:28Bye.
