  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop Podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I.
• 0:07
  Am a. Mastermindset coach, creative
• 0:08
  strategist, and also happened to be a farmer.
• 0:11
  This is my chicken coop and I come out here every day to
• 0:14
  record a podcast to teach distinctions, possibilities, new
• 0:18
  ways of thinking, and just bring some joy into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good afternoon
• 0:29
  from the chicken coop. I'm out here recording
• 0:32
  tomorrow's message today because I'm out here with the girls.
• 0:36
  And I had some time and I was like, oh, I'm going to do it
• 0:38
  right now while they're all here and it's not pitch dark and
• 0:41
  freezing cold. So let's talk for a moment about
• 0:46
  how we as human beings, we always have this like, you know,
• 0:51
  incessant need that to, to shift and make sure we are growing,
• 0:56
  growing, growing. It's just in our nature and it's
• 0:58
  wonderful and I'm a big fan of it.
• 1:01
  But what is the biggest factor in growth?
• 1:04
  Can you guess what the biggest factor in growth is?
• 1:07
  Well, in my opinion, I'm sure other people will say something
• 1:10
  different, but from someone who deals with this all day, every
• 1:12
  day, this is all I do professionally.
• 1:16
  I'm telling you, the biggest thing that I can see is your
• 1:18
  attitude towards yourself. What are you doing to yourself?
• 1:22
  What are you saying about yourself?
• 1:24
  How do you talk to yourself? Everything comes back to your
• 1:26
  attitude towards yourself. And you know how you can kind of
• 1:31
  confirm this is when you don't feel like doing something.
• 1:34
  You just like, I don't feel like doing it.
• 1:36
  I just don't feel it right now. I'm not feeling it.
• 1:38
  And So what does that come back to?
• 1:40
  Well, that's part of our emotional well-being and our
• 1:43
  attitude and it's about ourselves.
• 1:45
  Like, I don't feel like it. It doesn't ring true to me.
• 1:49
  I am sitting with it and it doesn't sit well in my gut.
• 1:52
  We have all kinds of different ways to talk about this.
• 1:56
  Ultimately though, the real thing is what's the attitude we
• 1:59
  hold towards ourselves? And that leads into everything
• 2:03
  that we want to attempt to do. Everything in that we want to
• 2:06
  attempt to be all of it. It comes back to one simple
• 2:10
  factor. What do we believe about
• 2:12
  ourselves and what's that attitude that's driving it?
• 2:15
  So if I asked you a question, do you like yourself?
• 2:20
  How would you answer it? Or how about would you be
• 2:22
  friends with yourself? If you were someone out in this
• 2:26
  world, would you be friends with you or would you find yourself
• 2:30
  to be a drag? Can you be honest and answer the
• 2:33
  question in a in the most forthright way that you can with
• 2:38
  complete candor? How would you answer it?
• 2:41
  And I think a lot of people think they might be friends with
• 2:44
  themselves, but when you start looking at it, it's like maybe I
• 2:48
  would be a lot, Maybe I wouldn't be as attentive.
• 2:50
  I know I I'm at Full disclosure, I am not someone that is into
• 2:57
  making calls every day to my friends.
• 2:58
  I'm just not it doesn't work that way with me.
• 3:01
  I am I am very much an an amperever of a person where I am
• 3:07
  I can go and I can be in with everybody and be totally OK.
• 3:11
  But then I want to go back home and isolate and be by myself and
• 3:14
  be very much that introvert and just hang out with chickens and
• 3:19
  flowers and vegetables and my family.
• 3:22
  Like it's very clear to me. So am IA good friend.
• 3:27
  Would I do things for my friends?
• 3:28
  Sure. But am I someone that's going to
• 3:30
  check in on you? Probably not as much as you
• 3:33
  might like. So I might not be the kind of
• 3:36
  friend that someone would want to have.
• 3:38
  And if you're, if you're that person, then I'm not your person
• 3:42
  and I can look at that and I can ask it.
• 3:44
  And again, my attitude towards myself matters.
• 3:47
  So I like to ask these questions.
• 3:49
  Another great one is, am I allowing myself to be creative?
• 3:53
  Now, these are questions that I ask myself, but you can come up
• 3:56
  with things that help you define for yourself too.
• 3:59
  So don't just take mine, but am I allowing myself to be
• 4:01
  creative? Am I pushing myself to think
• 4:04
  outside the boundaries that I normally think in?
• 4:08
  You know, am I growing? Do I feel like this year was a
• 4:11
  year of growth? Yeah, That was a hell yeah.
• 4:14
  I learned a lot. I learned a lot about things
• 4:16
  that I didn't like and a lot about things that I needed to
• 4:20
  fix and a lot about stuff that I had thought I had lined up that
• 4:24
  turned out to be really misaligned and I needed to
• 4:27
  realign it, you know, year of learning.
• 4:31
  But I feel good about that. So when we get into asking
• 4:36
  ourselves these questions, what's our attitude towards
• 4:38
  ourselves? We can make a list as long as we
• 4:41
  want, as long as we're doing a good job not making it so long
• 4:45
  that we can't stand ourselves. And a great way to play this
• 4:50
  game is to do 1 simple question that says, what do I believe
• 4:54
  about myself? And then you can ask it the
• 4:57
  other way, which is what do others believe about me?
• 5:00
  What do I believe others believe about me?
• 5:02
  That's the right way to say it. And you can sit there and say,
• 5:06
  hmm, well, I think this is this is how I see me and this is how
• 5:09
  other people see me. But it all comes back to what's
• 5:12
  my attitude towards myself. And first and foremost, I think
• 5:15
  the thing that we need to constantly embed into ourselves
• 5:19
  is that we will not lie to ourselves because we don't want
• 5:22
  others to lie to ourselves. So we're not going to lie to
• 5:24
  ourselves. And if you start this little
• 5:27
  task off with that intent, like, OK, I'm not going to lie to
• 5:31
  myself in this and I'm going to see what my attitude towards
• 5:33
  myself is. Or even if you take that line
• 5:36
  into 2026 and say I'm not going to spend 2026 lying to myself,
• 5:42
  you're doing yourself a huge favor because that's going to
• 5:45
  save you a lot of aggravation. So just something to consider,
• 5:52
  something to think about as you start to go through and get
• 5:57
  ready for what's next, my friends.
• 5:59
  So I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:05
  Bye.
