  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 mastermind, set coach, creative strategist, and also
• 0:09
  happen to 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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. So today we are talking about
• 0:32
  disrupting our thoughts. And one of the reasons that I'm
• 0:37
  bringing this up at this point in time is because often even
• 0:41
  just a few days into the new year, you find yourself arguing
• 0:44
  about what you want to do. And you know, you've got your
• 0:47
  goals set, you've got your intentions set, and you're now
• 0:51
  arguing with yourself about getting up that hour earlier or
• 0:54
  that 15 minutes earlier or doing the number of stops or the
• 0:58
  workout or the food or giving up the sugar.
• 1:01
  I have a lot of people I know that are giving up alcohol for
• 1:05
  the month of January and they're doing a dry January.
• 1:08
  And then you'll find yourself arguing with yourself about it.
• 1:12
  So today we are talking about becoming the disruptor, being
• 1:17
  the disruption in your own mind about all of this and how you
• 1:21
  come in and you are prepared to say, OK, I am going to be a
• 1:26
  disruptor right now. This is not a thought that I
• 1:28
  want to have. What would the disruptor say?
• 1:30
  So we're creating a persona for your bus.
• 1:33
  For those of you who are regular followers, we're doing a persona
• 1:37
  of that we can add to the bus. It's called the disruptor.
• 1:40
  Now, in this case, sometimes when you hear the word
• 1:42
  disruptor, it's not really a good thing.
• 1:44
  People will be like, oh, they're just disrupting everything and
• 1:47
  we have a negative connotation to it.
• 1:49
  But this I want to put positive spin on and I want to talk about
• 1:53
  disrupting your own system that you have created for allowing
• 1:59
  yourself to get away with crap. And we want to do away with
• 2:03
  this. We want to at least challenge it
• 2:05
  at the very at the very smallest point, we want to challenge it.
• 2:09
  So being a disruptor means you're going to have to ask
• 2:12
  yourself better questions. And this is where you can't.
• 2:16
  It doesn't work as well with statements.
• 2:17
  You can do it with statements, but you can't get the same
• 2:20
  results. So because then you're just
• 2:22
  adding to your dysfunction. But if you ask a question, you
• 2:26
  literally start shifting your head into cause and effect so
• 2:30
  you have a better chance of getting an honest answer from
• 2:33
  yourself, as crazy as that may sound.
• 2:35
  Because we think, Oh well, we must be honest with ourselves.
• 2:38
  Oh, but no, no, no, we are rarely completely honest with
• 2:41
  ourselves. And we love to spin our stories
• 2:44
  in our heads or our Irish friends say spin the yarns that
• 2:48
  are in our heads. And I am beyond that with myself
• 2:53
  at this point. Like I do not want to hear
• 2:55
  myself tell that. So I created the disruptor for
• 2:58
  myself so that I know she can go in there and she can cause havoc
• 3:02
  of these beliefs that I no longer want to have in control
• 3:06
  or these habits that I no longer we want to have in control.
• 3:09
  So we have to change this pattern and part of the pattern
• 3:13
  comes up in what questions are we asking ourselves.
• 3:16
  So let's use an early morning thing because most of the time
• 3:20
  when you want to gain hours in your day or time in your day,
• 3:24
  it's going to come either early in the morning or late at night.
• 3:27
  Now I am not a late at night fan at all.
• 3:31
  I am like the person who could go to bed at 7:30 and be up at
• 3:35
  3:30. That is kind of like my natural
• 3:38
  organic schedule. So for me, if I'm getting in bed
• 3:43
  at the right time, I can get up early.
• 3:45
  If I stay up too late, that's an issue.
• 3:48
  So let's just say it's about getting up early and you're
• 3:52
  staying up too late and you know you want to get up early.
• 3:55
  So you need to ask yourself better questions about the
• 3:59
  process, not just what do I need to do to get up early, because
• 4:03
  that's going to actually be an easier question to answer
• 4:06
  because we can all figure that out.
• 4:07
  We can all say, oh, well, I've got to go to bed at a decent
• 4:10
  time. Look at how vague that is.
• 4:12
  Decent time. I've got to make sure I have
• 4:14
  everything set before I go to bed.
• 4:16
  OK, what does that mean? What does everything set mean?
• 4:20
  And when you're in bed and you're not wanting to get up,
• 4:24
  what are you going to say to yourself at that point in time?
• 4:27
  And most of us don't have that. We'll say, well, I'll set the
• 4:30
  alarm. OK, well, how many times have we
• 4:32
  just hit the snooze button and just said screw it, I'm not
• 4:35
  getting up. We all do it.
• 4:36
  We all just functionally just say I'm not doing it.
• 4:39
  I I5 more minutes, 10 more minutes, but those 10 minutes
• 4:43
  add up. 10/20/30 Before you know it, you've stayed in bed an
• 4:46
  extra half hour and you've lost your edge.
• 4:48
  And this is about gaining back the edge.
• 4:51
  So it comes into the disruptor in your head has to have this
• 4:55
  pattern already set up differently.
• 4:57
  So you go to bed. You say I need to go to bed at
• 5:01
  this time. You give yourself specific
• 5:03
  instructions. You say I need to have my gym
• 5:05
  clothes all packed up and ready to go, or I need to have the
• 5:09
  video I'm going to watch all queued up and ready to go so I
• 5:12
  don't have to think about it. Or I need to have my sneakers on
• 5:16
  my bedside table. That's one of the things I did.
• 5:18
  And when I was training myself to to walk all as much as I do,
• 5:22
  I would have my sneakers staring at me right at the side table.
• 5:26
  And I had a note put into them curled so it would stand up.
• 5:30
  And it said get up. You said you were getting up.
• 5:33
  And I was like, OK, I saw that note.
• 5:35
  There you go. You can't get away from it.
• 5:38
  I put it right in front of myself.
• 5:39
  So you have to set that up ahead of time to make sure that you're
• 5:44
  there. And then the most important part
• 5:47
  is asking yourself what is the question that you're going to
• 5:50
  ask yourself when you want to skip out on yourself?
• 5:54
  And that question has to be in your head.
• 5:56
  So if you haven't picked 1 yet, you've got to get a question
• 5:59
  that's going to disrupt you. My question is always, is this
• 6:02
  the person you choose to be? And as soon as I ask myself that
• 6:07
  question, I get very annoyed and then I go and do what I need to
• 6:10
  do because I don't want to be the person that makes a
• 6:13
  commitment and skips out, especially on myself.
• 6:17
  All right my friends, go create that disruptor pattern for
• 6:20
  yourself. Get that persona on your bus and
• 6:22
  I will see you all tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
• 6:24
  Bye.
