  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 happened 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
• 0:23
  let's start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning. Let's talk about roots.
• 0:31
  So today I'm in the garage opening the doors very, very
• 0:35
  early and I've got tomatoes that are very tall.
• 0:39
  Now we're talking about 24 inches and the roots are coming
• 0:44
  out the bottom of the pot. And I love that.
• 0:48
  I love that that this experiment worked.
• 0:50
  I love that we have so many cool things going on with it.
• 0:53
  And it really started me thinking because I've used the
• 0:56
  word root so much this week. And it's not just because of the
• 1:00
  tomatoes, but in my sessions with people I have been talking
• 1:04
  non-stop about the root cause of an emotion, the root.
• 1:08
  Where is the root in all of this?
• 1:10
  Let's take that and go back down.
• 1:12
  And there was no intention in it really, other than I'm working
• 1:16
  to help them figure out why they're having the thoughts
• 1:19
  they're having so that we can deal with them.
• 1:23
  But when you get into looking back and saying, OK, what's the
• 1:26
  root of this? Where, where did it come from?
• 1:29
  Where is it going? What happened here?
• 1:31
  A lot of times you find some stuff that can help you.
• 1:34
  So a lot of people right now have been asking, you know, I, I
• 1:39
  feel like I'm looping. I feel like my emotion is all
• 1:43
  over the place and I don't I, I don't know which emotion I'm,
• 1:48
  I'm in and I say, well, let's go back.
• 1:50
  Let's find the root of all of this because sometimes it's on
• 1:53
  all what it all seems like it's coming from many different
• 1:57
  emotions is really coming from one emotion.
• 1:59
  And who knows what emotion that you're in most of the time until
• 2:04
  you look, you can't figure it out.
• 2:06
  So here we go. How do you figure it out?
• 2:09
  The first thing that you have to do is stop and ask yourself a
• 2:12
  very, very critical question, which is this emotion that keeps
• 2:18
  knocking in my head, feels all over the place, but what is it
• 2:23
  trying to tell me? You have to know what it's
• 2:26
  trying to say. The first thing is ask the
• 2:28
  question. What is it trying to tell me?
• 2:31
  Because if you know what it's trying to tell you, then you
• 2:34
  have a chance at decoding it. You have a chance at figuring
• 2:37
  out what it's saying. But until you ask the question,
• 2:40
  what is it trying to teach me? You're what is it saying?
• 2:44
  What is it? What is it communicating?
• 2:46
  Any way you want to say it, you're not going to be able to
• 2:49
  figure it out. It's going to it's going to
• 2:50
  cause an issue. So when you start to know that
• 2:54
  all of a sudden everything else changes.
• 2:56
  Now, the next piece of this puzzle, once you start to hear
• 3:00
  what it's trying to say and you slow down and you say, what's
• 3:03
  the emotion that I'm feeling most consistently?
• 3:07
  Because there is so many different emotions that we all
• 3:10
  feel. Yes, that's all true.
• 3:12
  But you have to figure out what am I feeling most consistently?
• 3:15
  What is that one that just keeps showing up, showing up, showing
• 3:19
  up, showing up, showing up, showing up, showing up.
• 3:21
  Because that's the one that's going to really tell us the
• 3:25
  truth about all of it. It's going to give us everything
• 3:28
  we need to know when we understand that one single piece
• 3:33
  of the puzzle. OK.
• 3:34
  And if you can, if you can just take a second for yourself and
• 3:40
  truly think about, OK, is this consistent?
• 3:44
  Is this, is this something that I'm feeling a lot of the time
• 3:48
  you're going to have a very different answer in how to
• 3:51
  handle it because if it's consistent, now you know what to
• 3:54
  do. Whenever things are consistent
• 3:56
  in our world, we can figure out how to go back and deal with it.
• 4:00
  We can look at something and say, OK, this shows up all the
• 4:03
  time. I don't know, you know, where it
• 4:05
  came from. And it doesn't matter where it
• 4:06
  came from. It only matters that it's
• 4:08
  showing up so consistently because it's giving you the same
• 4:11
  message over and over. And clearly we're not handling
• 4:14
  the problem. Like for many people, there's a
• 4:16
  ton of stress that comes in and that stress that comes in comes
• 4:20
  in from work. And there's something at work
• 4:23
  that's causing us this stress. And we might complain, we might
• 4:27
  sit there and have conversation about it, but we're not actually
• 4:30
  detaching the emotion and the entanglement of the emotion so
• 4:34
  we can get a handle on how to what to do with it because we
• 4:38
  cannot figure it out from when we're in that emotion.
• 4:41
  I promise you, nothing good is going to come from staying in
• 4:45
  the emotion that got you aware. I know that sounds like a really
• 4:48
  strange thing to say, but it's true.
• 4:50
  You have to get out of the emotion that put you there to
• 4:53
  make you aware, to get to a different emotion, to help you
• 4:57
  get, you know, to transcend the situation.
• 5:01
  So it's incredibly important to figure out what are these
• 5:05
  consistent emotions. And if you do that, and if you
• 5:09
  take the time to do it, you will see a difference.
• 5:12
  And these are things that can be small.
• 5:14
  They can be large, all different kinds of things are in our
• 5:18
  world. They can, they don't have to
• 5:20
  just be, oh, I'm overwhelmed and it's taking me down.
• 5:24
  These can be little, you know, consistent annoying things.
• 5:27
  You know, let's just say your body is having a reaction.
• 5:30
  You have headaches, you have rashes, you have hives, all
• 5:33
  these things. It's showing up for a reason.
• 5:35
  Whether it's, you know, a, a, a physical, environmental thing or
• 5:39
  it's a mental thing. There's something showing up and
• 5:41
  you have to figure out what's consistent.
• 5:43
  So go look, ask the right questions, and let's see if we
• 5:47
  can decode it. It's a big one this time because
• 5:49
  it takes awareness. So slow down and be aware.
• 5:53
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:55
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
