  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.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good evening. On my walk out to put the girls
• 0:31
  away, it is dusk, pretty close to it, and I walk out here every
• 0:39
  night and do a head count check on everybody.
• 0:42
  I've said this on here before, but I'm actually taking the walk
• 0:46
  with you and I'm recording tonight because you know,
• 0:48
  tomorrow morning it will be dark early.
• 0:50
  So we're taking care of it now and right at the door there's
• 0:53
  Samantha standing there waiting for me like she does every
• 0:56
  night, always waiting to see where I'm going to be.
• 0:59
  And they all have their personalities.
• 1:01
  Hi Sammy. What's happening?
• 1:03
  It's time to go to bed. And then she turns around and
• 1:06
  goes in. So tonight we are talking about
• 1:11
  something that I think is important and it is the little
• 1:15
  things that make you happy, IE flowers.
• 1:18
  Things like that are not frivolous.
• 1:21
  So I had someone talk to me about that recently and said,
• 1:24
  well, I don't like to spend money on things that are
• 1:27
  frivolous, even though it brings me joy.
• 1:30
  And I understand both sides of this.
• 1:31
  I really do. Because you look at it and you
• 1:33
  say, well, these flowers are going to die very quickly.
• 1:38
  And I plant flowers and then something happens and you know,
• 1:42
  they will if I leave them on, you know, out there in the
• 1:46
  field, they actually die. Sorry if you can hear my son in
• 1:49
  the background on that motorcycle that he rebuilt, but
• 1:52
  it is loud and he is out there riding up and down the road.
• 1:55
  The disadvantage of recording at night when everybody is around.
• 1:59
  Anyway, so back to the flowers. So this whole comment about it
• 2:03
  being something frivolous and being something that is wasteful
• 2:08
  and not wanting to spend money on it.
• 2:09
  Now I, I, like I said, I can, I can handle hearing both sides of
• 2:13
  this because I've been in the position where I haven't had
• 2:16
  money to buy something and said to myself, well, this is
• 2:19
  frivolous. I don't need this.
• 2:21
  But here's the thing, it's about elevating energy and it's about
• 2:25
  being practical at the same time.
• 2:27
  So when you start to elevate your energy, you do want to have
• 2:31
  things that elevate it. And sometimes having those
• 2:34
  little flowers around and just seeing that bright burst of joy
• 2:39
  does something for you that brings you to a whole different
• 2:42
  level energetically. And when that happens, all of a
• 2:45
  sudden magic starts to happen because you're not down in the
• 2:49
  weeds, so to speak. You're not in the emotional
• 2:52
  weeds anymore. You're feeling good about things
• 2:55
  based on the fact that, you know, you're starting to elevate
• 2:58
  yourself. So whether it's a book, whether
• 3:01
  it's a magazine, now magazines can seem very frivolous to
• 3:04
  people. I still buy magazines quite
• 3:06
  often based on the fact that I love to look through them and
• 3:10
  then cut things out from my vision boards.
• 3:13
  So they're not frivolous at all because they're helping me
• 3:15
  create maps that make me feel extraordinary.
• 3:18
  Flowers never make me feel like I'm wasting money because I know
• 3:23
  that the whole time they're there, I'm going to do
• 3:25
  everything I can to keep them as fresh as I can by trimming off
• 3:29
  the bottoms every day or two days and making sure I put in
• 3:33
  fresh water and giving them everything that they can to get
• 3:36
  them to last a couple of weeks. And amazingly, it works.
• 3:40
  And again, the whole part of this is it's about elevating my
• 3:46
  energy because if I'm seeing them and I walk through and I'm
• 3:49
  feeling joy, then that means I'm, I'm emitting joy, which
• 3:53
  means I'm attracting joy. It's a cyclical process when we
• 3:57
  do this stuff. So it's very important to
• 3:59
  remember that you have access to that and you can tap into it.
• 4:03
  Now, I, I say this coming in because right now is a time
• 4:07
  where you can actually go out and buy some seeds and put them
• 4:11
  in a pot and grow your own flowers.
• 4:13
  And the joy in that and well, first of all, it is much cheaper
• 4:17
  than buying flowers. But the joy in that is never
• 4:21
  frivolous. It's something that expands.
• 4:24
  And that's what this is all about.
• 4:26
  It's figuring out how to tap in and expand and feel more vibrant
• 4:31
  and to feel more connected and to feel more expansive.
• 4:36
  And when you do that, when you tap into that, it is truly
• 4:42
  miraculous what happens in your world and how you can shift
• 4:47
  yourself very, very quickly. Little tiny things, the smallest
• 4:51
  of small acts make all the difference.
• 4:53
  When I walk out here and I see Samantha standing at the door
• 4:57
  and I get to say hi Sammy because she's waiting for me,
• 5:00
  that one little thing that that one little chicken does every
• 5:04
  day makes me smile and just make me want to pick her up and
• 5:07
  squeeze her and love her. It's just a small little tiny
• 5:11
  thing, but it's not frivolous. It's not something to be
• 5:16
  overlooked. It's not something to be
• 5:18
  ignored. It's not something to to shy
• 5:20
  away from and not pay attention to.
• 5:22
  This is what life is all about, my friends.
• 5:25
  It's tapping into those things so, you know, get yourself some
• 5:28
  flowers, get yourself those little things.
• 5:30
  Get the book and enjoy it and have gratitude for it because it
• 5:35
  is expansive and it does grow. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:38
  you have a blessed night and a great day in the morning and I
• 5:42
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
