• 0:04
  coop podcast my name is Kim Johnson and I am a mastermindset
• 0:08
  coach creative strategist and also happen to be a farmer this
• 0:11
  is my chicken coop and I come out here every day to record a
• 0:14
  podcast to teach distinctions possibilities new ways of
• 0:18
  thinking and just bring some joy into the world so welcome to the
• 0:22
  coop and let's start your day off in a fantastic way hey
• 0:27
  everybody good morning. Question for the day how do you
• 0:31
  regulate your happiness and that's an interesting question
• 0:36
  considering most people don't think about regulating their
• 0:39
  happiness what they think about is oh I need happy to show up
• 0:44
  they don't think about controlling happy by their
• 0:47
  thoughts what they're doing how they're acting they just don't
• 0:50
  think about it that way but it's possible.
• 0:53
  And not only possible it's actually something that you can
• 0:57
  really really do once you recognize you can choose it but
• 1:02
  you have to look at what what are those things that get in
• 1:05
  your way and those I'm not just talking about out in the world
• 1:08
  what shows up and makes you unhappy I'm talking about how
• 1:11
  you. Initially take it into your head
• 1:14
  so there's you know we always talk about response and react so
• 1:18
  you have this moment where you can either choose and to respond
• 1:22
  where you pause and then respond or you choose to just react and
• 1:26
  most of us don't necessarily choose to react it just kind of
• 1:29
  happens just like instantaneous reaction.
• 1:33
  So what happens prior to that like that's the factor that we
• 1:37
  always look at in coaching what's what happens before that
• 1:40
  what do you want to believe about yourself so that you can
• 1:43
  stop those moments from taking over like that and this is the
• 1:48
  tricky part because it requires the person the the the being
• 1:53
  that wants to shift to actually program itself prior to those
• 1:59
  things happening. So this is not about the in the
• 2:02
  moment this is about prior to the moments showing up we have
• 2:07
  to do things that help ourselves we have to do the things that we
• 2:11
  need to do in order to pull ourselves back every day.
• 2:16
  And learn about ourselves because the path to success with
• 2:21
  all of this is learning about yourself it's understanding that
• 2:25
  as a a human being if you are above the ground if you are
• 2:29
  breathing your heart is beating you have the ability to choose
• 2:35
  and control by working on yourself a little bit every
• 2:41
  single day. And most of us will say I need
• 2:45
  to go to a retreat oh I need to go do this oh I need to go see a
• 2:48
  therapist oh I need my coach whatever it might be we always
• 2:51
  do it in a chunk and we don't take on the daily activities
• 2:56
  that build the strength the daily activities are what
• 3:01
  matters most those are the ones that get us where we want to go
• 3:06
  so. When you want to work on this
• 3:09
  portion of yourself and and really make a difference with
• 3:13
  this the key the essential key to this is recognizing that I
• 3:19
  have to make time for this every day?
• 3:22
  If you make time to take a shower brush your teeth go to
• 3:26
  the bathroom if you make time for all of that you have time
• 3:30
  for this because you can cross pollinate like while you're in
• 3:33
  the shower you can do mantras you can talk to yourself and you
• 3:37
  can say I choose to be? Peaceful inside I choose to
• 3:43
  respond not react I choose to think about how I want to feel
• 3:49
  before I let feelings take over I choose to be in neutral until
• 3:55
  I shift to something else I choose to read every day for 15
• 4:00
  minutes I choose to listen to something every day for a. 1015
• 4:05
  minutes doesn't matter I'm in the middle of watching a 2 hour
• 4:10
  seminar from Jim rohn right now and I'm not watch sitting and
• 4:13
  watching it for 2 hours every night I turn it on and I do 10
• 4:17
  minutes of it 15 minutes of it and I do that when I get out of
• 4:20
  the shower so as soon as I get out of the shower I hit boom and
• 4:23
  I start listening to it so Jim is like the actual last thing
• 4:27
  that I kind of take in electronically before I go to
• 4:30
  sleep. And how cool is that like I'm
• 4:33
  I'm putting it in so I do something in the morning I
• 4:36
  record these I'm reading before I come out and talk to you I
• 4:40
  might be writing as well it just depends on what it is what kind
• 4:45
  of day it is but I'm doing all of this because I'm I'm
• 4:49
  bookending my day and in the middle of my day often I will
• 4:53
  click on. An audible like if a client is
• 4:56
  going to be a few minutes late or I finish a few minutes early
• 4:59
  I have an audible I'm listening to I always have like 2 or 3
• 5:02
  going at the same time and I'll just click it in and I'll listen
• 5:05
  because I know I'm taking in something that's going to help
• 5:09
  me regulate so this is the key it's the regulation it's the
• 5:14
  part of this that we know we need to do but we don't do it
• 5:18
  regularly and that causes the problem so.
• 5:22
  Work on this today put it out there and learn to do it ahead
• 5:26
  of time because that's what makes the difference all right
• 5:29
  my friends I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see you
• 5:31
  tomorrow bye.
