  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 happen 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
  I'm not sure if you guys can hear this.
• 0:31
  Can you hear that background? All the birds are just waking up
• 0:37
  and the chickens are not even out.
• 0:39
  It's just before dawn and listen to all those birds and you can
• 0:47
  hear some goats in the background yelling neighbors
• 0:49
  goats. But good morning everybody.
• 0:52
  I just thought it was cool to have you hear that.
• 0:55
  Oh so crazy, all the sounds in the backgrounds from the farms
• 0:59
  and the birds. And of course, you know, I'm
• 1:01
  birding out bird nerd over here. I'm listening to all the sounds
• 1:05
  and saying, Oh my gosh, it's so lucky to hear them like this and
• 1:08
  have them be around. In any event, today we are
• 1:13
  talking about bringing these little tiny like, you know,
• 1:17
  micro moments of joy. And I hadn't planned on that,
• 1:21
  but since we're here and I just found this, you know, opened up
• 1:25
  my garage doors outside my garage, I have all the flowers
• 1:28
  that I grew that are actually so big now they're flowering.
• 1:31
  They're going to go into the ground at some point today.
• 1:35
  And as soon as I have a break in my schedule, I will plant some
• 1:38
  of them in the ground and start putting, you know, the the
• 1:43
  rambling garden back together. We had varmints and we had to
• 1:46
  deal with that. So we've subsequently
• 1:50
  straightened it all out and now we can put some flowers out
• 1:54
  there. But anyway, this I came out and
• 1:56
  I opened the garage doors to check the flowers that are right
• 1:59
  in front of it. And this is the serenade that
• 2:02
  I'm hearing in the background. And I was like, wow, I could
• 2:04
  just stand here and close my eyes and meditate.
• 2:07
  And that's the point of today, just taking the opportunities
• 2:12
  that are presented to us in the moment and pausing.
• 2:15
  So before I even started to hear that whooping in the background,
• 2:19
  that's the goat. Just so you know, nobody's
• 2:21
  having a problem. It's my neighbors goat and
• 2:24
  they're pretty far away. They're loud.
• 2:25
  But anyway, it's taking the moment that is presented to you
• 2:30
  from God in the universe and pausing and going, you know
• 2:32
  what? I'm just going to close my eyes
• 2:34
  for a minute. So before I started this, I
• 2:36
  leaned up against the wall and I closed my eyes and I just stood
• 2:40
  there and I took it all in and it was just unbelievable to feel
• 2:45
  like you're filling up with all that energy.
• 2:48
  Like their days are going on regardless of if you're late, if
• 2:51
  you're, you know, early, if you're stressed, if you've got
• 2:55
  tons to do, if you haven't slept or you have slept, all their
• 2:59
  little lives are going on and they're just going about their
• 3:02
  business and taking that energy and fills you back up.
• 3:07
  Now, this is not the only way to do it, but I'm just telling you
• 3:10
  this was a really strong lesson in finding something around you
• 3:14
  that you can use, whether it's with your eyes, your sense of
• 3:18
  smell, your sense of touch, or your ears.
• 3:21
  For me this morning it was ears and the flowers make it better
• 3:24
  because it's the sense of my eyes.
• 3:27
  Obviously I'm using it, vision, but also sense of smell.
• 3:30
  So I'm going to leave it with that and I'm going to tell you
• 3:34
  all find something like that today because this was just an
• 3:37
  opportunity that I was presented with.
• 3:40
  And I hope you can hear it all in the background because it is
• 3:43
  amazing. And find yours today.
• 3:47
  Go seek it out. All right, my friends, I hope
• 3:49
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 3:51
  Bye.
