  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, everybody.
• 0:27
  Good morning from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:30
  So here's an interesting thought for you.
• 0:32
  Things aren't always what they seem to be, and it's important
• 0:36
  to be curious and ask questions. Now you've heard me say a
• 0:39
  million times the curiosity is a superpower, but I think we
• 0:42
  forget that it's a superpower and we don't get curious about
• 0:47
  things. At least we don't get curious
• 0:49
  enough about things and then we don't keep exploring.
• 0:52
  What else could something be? What else could be happening?
• 0:55
  So we have a wire fence around our garden and it's solar
• 1:02
  powered and it's, you know, one of those ones that will give you
• 1:05
  a light ZAP if you touch it. And it's meant to keep the deer
• 1:09
  out and it goes up very high or any other varmints that want to
• 1:12
  go in there. And then there's a lower section
• 1:15
  that keeps the chickens out, but they don't even go near it
• 1:18
  because they won't even attempt to to get zapped by the wires.
• 1:24
  But in any event, I'm thinking, OK, there has to be something
• 1:28
  that's going on because I'm planting things in the garden
• 1:32
  and they're getting dug up at night.
• 1:33
  So what is happening? What is the thing that's going
• 1:36
  in there and doing it? Going in there and doing it.
• 1:39
  And I'm like, there's got to be something because it, I see that
• 1:43
  there's like these little marks that are happening overnight.
• 1:46
  Like I walk the garden and I see them and I'm like, I wonder what
• 1:50
  this is. So I'm assuming that we've got
• 1:53
  one of the voles that's getting in through the fence and that
• 1:57
  that makes sense. So I'm connecting dots because,
• 2:00
  you know, that's how our brain works.
• 2:01
  It wants to connect dots quickly and it wants to make our lives
• 2:05
  easier, burn fewer calories and just cut down on the exhaustion
• 2:09
  of thinking about things, which is all great and fine.
• 2:12
  However, I'm like, something came in and ate every single,
• 2:16
  like when I tell you it ate every single, it ate every
• 2:19
  single bean that I had planted, every single bean seed.
• 2:23
  And then it, it ate all of the peanuts that I planted.
• 2:27
  And I'm like, and I know they're eating because I can see that
• 2:30
  they're all dug up because I keep the garden extremely neat.
• 2:33
  So of course, so that I can see exactly what's going on.
• 2:37
  Because I have a core resonating belief that if you don't touch
• 2:41
  and see something that you're working on all the time, you
• 2:44
  can't, you can't actually do a, an outstanding job with it.
• 2:48
  You actually have to see it and touch it.
• 2:51
  So I'm always in there. Like yesterday for instance, I
• 2:54
  found a bunch of stink bugs that had moved into the squash and
• 2:57
  though they are not good for squash.
• 2:59
  So if I hadn't been in there and investigating the squash when I
• 3:02
  water it, I would have never seen them.
• 3:04
  If I just turned on the sprinkler system, I would never
• 3:08
  have noticed it. I would not have seen what was
• 3:11
  actually going on. Couldn't have pulled them off.
• 3:14
  But anyway, back to this. So I made the assumption and
• 3:17
  then I was like, OK, I really have to watch this.
• 3:20
  I really have to see. And then lo and behold, I see
• 3:24
  that it's a bird going in there. It's a bird who's going in and
• 3:28
  digging through the dirt. And I'm like, how the hell do
• 3:32
  they know? But they did.
• 3:33
  And somehow, whether they're watching me, like now, I feel
• 3:36
  like someone's watching me or what not.
• 3:40
  Could it be that the voles are still getting in there?
• 3:43
  Yes. Are there signs that maybe the
• 3:46
  voles are coming out at night? Yes.
• 3:48
  And at the same time, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt,
• 3:53
  I saw a bird digging things up. So I'm curious now I'm like, OK,
• 3:58
  do birds actually like go in gardens?
• 4:00
  And I start researching like, do they will they actually go into
• 4:04
  a space that's just dirt and dig?
• 4:06
  Certain types of birds will do this.
• 4:08
  Now, you know, I have my affinity for birds, so I'm
• 4:11
  certainly not upset that they're doing it.
• 4:12
  And I'll just start the plants inside.
• 4:14
  So I've got beans soaking overnight and I'll start them
• 4:16
  inside. They don't usually transplant
• 4:19
  well, but I'll have a conversation with them ahead of
• 4:21
  time and hopefully they will be willing to, you know, transplant
• 4:27
  well because I'm going to manifest that.
• 4:29
  But it's amazing to me how quickly you can assume something
• 4:33
  and it may not actually be accurate.
• 4:35
  So this is a lesson today in saying stay curious.
• 4:39
  Even when you have an assumption, stay curious.
• 4:41
  Even when you think you know, stay curious.
• 4:43
  Even when you think when you think you have it right, stay
• 4:47
  curious because that's going to help you make sure that you have
• 4:51
  the right situation nailed down and not making things up.
• 4:55
  So I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you
• 4:59
  all tomorrow. Bye.
