  Hey. Everybody, welcome to the Good
• 0:03
  Morning from the Chicken Coop podcast.

  My name is Kim Johnson and I am a mastermindset, coach, creative
• 0:08
  strategist, and also happened to be a farmer.
• 0:11
  This is my Chicken coop and I come out here.
• 0:13

  Teach distinctions, possibilities, new ways of.
• 0:18
  Thinking. And just bring some joy.
• 0:20
  Into the. World.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning.
• 0:30
  It is raining. It is cold and it is yucky out
• 0:34
  here and I walked out and I actually like the rain.
• 0:38
  I love when it rains because it makes me feel like I can sit and
• 0:41
  do projects and, and I'm today I'm going to be working on
• 0:45
  building our flight deck for the crows.
• 0:48
  We're finished. We finally got a design that we
• 0:51
  can agree on that to build. So we're going to be working on
• 0:53
  that. And I'm also going to be working
• 0:55
  on, I was struggling all week long to locate rubber cement,
• 0:59
  believe it or not, and I finally nailed it, got some.
• 1:02
  So I'm super excited to sit down and glue my vision board because
• 1:05
  I've got everything laid out and I'm going to go glue it down.
• 1:08
  And today I'm working on all kinds of little things between
• 1:11
  today and tomorrow before I hit the road on, I say hit the road.
• 1:16
  But I'm actually going to be back at work coaching people on
• 1:19
  Monday morning, which I'm very excited about.
• 1:21
  And I realized as I walked out here this morning to decide what
• 1:25
  am I going to talk to them about today, about the myriad of
• 1:28
  emotions that are going on. So for me anyway, and I, and
• 1:32
  this is what happens. And I want everyone to
• 1:34
  understand this is normal because I walked out and I was
• 1:37
  like, oh, it's yucky. I don't want to.
• 1:39
  Go out and do all this stuff. I had so many thoughts of what
• 1:41
  what I was going to do today. Oh, it's cold.
• 1:44
  And I had this like, part of me is disappointed, part of me is
• 1:47
  happy because we definitely need the rain.
• 1:50
  We have a drought situation going on here.
• 1:52
  So I'm like, OK, this is good. I'm, I'm happy that we're seeing
• 1:55
  the rain, but at the same time I'm sad.
• 1:58
  So I'm not, I've already identified two different
• 2:01
  emotions. Then I'm thinking, well, how am
• 2:02
  I going to get all my stuff from the studio into the house so I
• 2:07
  can work on it doing my vision boarding.
• 2:10
  And then I was because it's raining and I don't want
• 2:11
  anything to get wet. And I'm like, OK, then.
• 2:14
  So then I get concerned, then I get like, OK, I've got to get
• 2:17
  creative with how I'm going to get it over there without
• 2:19
  getting it wet. And my brain just spins and it
• 2:22
  goes from emotion to emotion to emotion.
• 2:23
  It's like playing hopscotch and the drivers are running to the
• 2:27
  front of the bus and I'm like, OK, this is so irritating.
• 2:30
  And then I'm like, oh, I'm cold, I'm standing out here, I'm
• 2:33
  recording for you. I'm cold.
• 2:35
  Then I'm like, oh, I should have put a jacket on.
• 2:37
  My nose is running, so all of this mind chatter and all of
• 2:41
  these emotions are switching. Then I realize, OK, I still have
• 2:45
  to. There's a piece of software that
• 2:46
  I need to sign up for and download for the end of year
• 2:49
  numbers and all this stuff. And I've got to test it.
• 2:52
  And I'm like, I wanted to do it before I went back.
• 2:55
  So now I feel anxiety because I didn't do that.
• 2:58
  I didn't get it done. I was.
• 2:59
  I spent a lot of time testing a lot of different things and it
• 3:04
  turned out I finally found one, but it was at the end of my
• 3:06
  allotted time during the week and then I was supposed.
• 3:09
  To spend time with my son. And I was like, no, I'm going to
• 3:11
  do it. So I shut.
• 3:11
  It down, but now I've got to still go back and do it.
• 3:13
  So this monkey swinging from emotion to emotion, different
• 3:16
  drivers on the bus going boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
• 3:20
  normal, totally normal. But the question is all the
• 3:24
  energy, all the things that you feel, you have to decide where
• 3:28
  you want it to go. You can't just keep it and and
• 3:32
  not let it be directed. If you don't direct it, it will
• 3:35
  direct you. I really want you to hear me say
• 3:38
  that if you don't direct your emotions, they will direct you.
• 3:44
  There is no question in my mind that that takes place.
• 3:47
  They will drive that bus right off a Cliff.
• 3:49
  They do not care. They are focused on what they
• 3:52
  want to be focused on and nothing, nothing other than
• 3:55
  that. I mean, there is no question in
• 3:58
  my mind how much that works. It is a constant and never
• 4:03
  ending situation where they will take over unless you decide that
• 4:08
  you want to be in control of them.
• 4:10
  And I think it's imperative, at the very least it's imperative,
• 4:17
  and I'm dead serious about this, to be aware of the emotion and
• 4:21
  if you want to keep it. So if you, if you're irritated
• 4:24
  and you say I'm irritated and I want to stay irritated, then
• 4:27
  great, at least you did it consciously.
• 4:29
  I want irritation to still drive my bus.
• 4:31
  Great, at least you did it. But for me, I want to be in
• 4:34
  control of that because I don't want to attract more of what
• 4:37
  that driver is driving towards. So if I can shift it quickly,
• 4:43
  I'm going to change that projection.
• 4:45
  I'm going to change what I'm doing.
• 4:46
  And that's the key. That is the key my friends,
• 4:49
  being able to shift it quickly. So here's your here's your
• 4:54
  directive for today. It's start following, if you've
• 4:58
  never done the 72 hour challenge of who's driving your bus, I
• 5:03
  highly recommend that you do it. And basically for 72 hours, it's
• 5:06
  simple. You monitor your emotions and
• 5:08
  you track them, you write them down, you see what's coming up.
• 5:11
  And it's a great thing to do at, you know, once a month, every
• 5:15
  week, some people like to do it. You know, every week they sit
• 5:19
  there and they say, OK, I was just checking in and these were
• 5:21
  my emotions over the course of the week.
• 5:24
  And then we really start to see who's showing up.
• 5:27
  But I can't stress this enough. The primary emotion that you
• 5:32
  spend your predominant amount of time in is the point of law of
• 5:35
  attraction. And we are at the beginning of
• 5:37
  the year. So what do you want to attract
• 5:39
  this year? What are you willing to pay
• 5:42
  attention to? What are you willing to shift
• 5:44
  and change? Is it worth keeping it?
• 5:46
  So pay attention and redirect it.
• 5:50
  Give it a better job. So I hope you guys have an
• 5:53
  amazing day. I know I'm going to with all
• 5:56
  this rain and getting tons of stuff done and I will see you.
• 6:00
  All tomorrow, bye.
