• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am

• 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, everybody.
• 0:27
  Good morning from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:30
  You know what's interesting about having chickens, you, you
• 0:33
  think that they're not bright. You think lots of things about
• 0:35
  them, you know, you think, you know, they can't be all that
• 0:40
  they're cracked up to be, but they really are.
• 0:42
  And one of the things that I love about watching them is
• 0:45
  their higher, their hierarchy, their systems, how they can
• 0:49
  interact with each other, who hangs out with who.
• 0:52
  When you pay attention, you learn so much and that they're
• 0:55
  not so different then we are like I am out here filling up
• 0:59
  their water containers this morning.
• 1:01
  They are out and about. And one of the things that
• 1:04
  cracks me up is that there's like an IA total order to who's
• 1:10
  going to come and who's going to drink first?
• 1:12
  Who's going to, you know, clean up their breakfast pans first.
• 1:15
  Who's going to be the one that does certain things?
• 1:17
  And if one of the lower ones walks over, you know, they have
• 1:21
  a caste system. And if one of those ones that's
• 1:24
  on the bottom of the totem pole comes to walk over and decides
• 1:27
  to try to snack first or to push out of the way.
• 1:31
  One of the girls that are my original chickens, the ones that
• 1:34
  are like been around the longest, they inevitably will
• 1:38
  put them right in their place and be like, I don't think so.
• 1:41
  Back up and I always wonder like, is it size?
• 1:45
  Nope, it has nothing to do with size.
• 1:47
  It has nothing to do with what you might think it is.
• 1:50
  It's something about how they handle themselves.
• 1:53
  It's the confidence that they have the girls that have been
• 1:56
  around for a while just have a lot more confidence than the
• 1:58
  ones that are younger. And even Celine, who's my she
• 2:02
  looks like a, you know, this old 1930s, you know, Broadway person
• 2:08
  or like, you know, the, the people that used to perform in
• 2:11
  vaudeville and with her puffy hair and she's all in black and
• 2:14
  she happens to be a French crevicore.
• 2:17
  She just looks like she fell out of the 30s to me.
• 2:20
  But she's she's like small. She's not a big bird compared to
• 2:25
  the others, but she is bossy And they all like, let her just do
• 2:29
  it. Nobody bothers her.
• 2:31
  So confidence, it comes down to how are you carrying yourself,
• 2:36
  how the birds carry themselves, what they're actually acting
• 2:39
  like saying like how they communicate with each other.
• 2:41
  They have a whole language that they use and they use it.
• 2:45
  Believe me, they use it. So from a standpoint of like, do
• 2:50
  they actually communicate? How?
• 2:52
  Yeah, they actually communicate. And they are very strict with
• 2:56
  their hierarchy and they understand when one of them is
• 3:02
  giving another one a message. They take the social cues, they
• 3:05
  take the hints. Sometimes we don't even do that,
• 3:08
  for crying out loud, but they get it.
• 3:10
  So is it something that we can learn from them?
• 3:15
  Yes. Can we learn?
• 3:16
  We should all have more confidence, yes, building up
• 3:20
  your confidence is something that is totally important to do.
• 3:25
  I believe in it. I think we have to work on it.
• 3:27
  And confidence is not something you just like say, oh, I'm
• 3:30
  confident. It's that you have to build it
• 3:32
  up for yourself. You have to make a decision to
• 3:34
  say, I'm going to work on it and then it shows up.
• 3:37
  But if you don't work on it every day and you don't think
• 3:39
  about it every day and you don't cultivate it, it's not going to
• 3:42
  show up for you. You really have to work on it
• 3:45
  and you have to learn from things.
• 3:47
  So I, I throw it out there and say, what are you doing to help
• 3:51
  yourself build your confidence? What are you doing to give
• 3:53
  yourself that part of you that you know you want to build up?
• 3:57
  Like I knew this year I really wanted to build my confidence
• 4:00
  and growing different kinds of flowers and stuff that I was
• 4:03
  doing. So I spent all winter studying
• 4:06
  and reading about stuff so that when I wanted to do it, I could
• 4:09
  do it with ease and grace and know that I had it down.
• 4:13
  That was the key for me. It's like, I just want to be
• 4:16
  able to do it and know that I'm actually able to confidently
• 4:21
  learn it. And of course, you can hear me
• 4:22
  right now I'm doing waters because this morning, if I don't
• 4:26
  hurry up and get these waters out there, it'll never get done.
• 4:29
  But it's it for me, it's about showing the confidence.
• 4:34
  Show the confidence by cultivating it.
• 4:37
  Do what you need to do to gain your confidence, whether it's
• 4:41
  learning more, practicing more, it's reaching for mentors.
• 4:44
  Whatever it is, build your confidence because it will
• 4:47
  change whatever you're doing. All right, my friends, I hope
• 4:50
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 4:53
  Bye.
