  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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody good. Morning it is windy, windy,
• 0:32
  windy, windy, windy here. So I am in the garage and it's
• 0:37
  still dark out, but I can't even think about going out there and
• 0:40
  recording because the background noise is so crazy.
• 0:43
  In any event, let's talk about glasses.
• 0:47
  OK, so I've always wanted to have, I have round sunglasses
• 0:52
  and I've always wanted to try having little round glasses, you
• 0:57
  know, just seeing glasses. So I order a package of them of
• 1:01
  them from Amazon. Like just the, it's just
• 1:04
  readers. I keep readers everywhere.
• 1:06
  It's not that big of a deal. I think I got 6 for $14.00.
• 1:10
  And I put them on and I stood there and I judged myself for
• 1:14
  like the longest time. I was like, am I going to wear
• 1:17
  these out? These look silly.
• 1:19
  I use my glasses a lot. Am I comfortable in these?
• 1:22
  Should I be comfortable in these?
• 1:24
  I don't know how I feel in these.
• 1:25
  These look stupid. Maybe I should take them off.
• 1:28
  They look like John Denver glasses.
• 1:30
  I went on and on and on all the way back to the Brady Bunch and
• 1:34
  Cousin Oliver having the round glasses and do I really want to
• 1:37
  have these round glasses? But I always wanted the round
• 1:40
  glasses. And this, like this conversation
• 1:43
  was a whole thing yesterday. They got delivered and I kept
• 1:47
  going on and on with it and I'm like, I don't know, do I like
• 1:50
  them? Do I not like them?
• 1:52
  And I, I couldn't get past it. Like I kept asking myself the
• 1:56
  same stupid questions. And then my practical son walks
• 2:00
  in and I said, what do you think of these glasses?
• 2:02
  And he's like, they're all right.
• 2:04
  I said, well, do you think that I should wear them?
• 2:06
  He's like, do you like them? And I was like, I'm deciding.
• 2:09
  He's like, well, it's not really that hard.
• 2:11
  You just make a decision. You like them or you don't like
• 2:14
  them. He's very black and white many
• 2:16
  times. And I was like, well, I'm still,
• 2:19
  I'm trying them out to see. And he's like, we'll just make a
• 2:22
  decision to like them, mom. And then he puts his, his arm
• 2:25
  around me, gives me a hug and he walks away and I'm like, God,
• 2:29
  isn't it so cool when you meet somebody that can just do that?
• 2:33
  Because that's what he does. He just makes those decisions
• 2:37
  and he just moves on. So I said, you know what, I'm
• 2:39
  going to put them on and I'm going to use them today when I
• 2:42
  need them and I'm going to make a decision to just like them.
• 2:45
  I'm just going to make a decision to to give them a try
• 2:49
  and like them. And, you know, by the end of the
• 2:52
  day, I had really felt a lot more confident in them.
• 2:56
  Even though they're kind of silly and kind of funky and very
• 2:58
  hippie like. I really like them.
• 3:02
  I like the way they feel. I like the way that they have
• 3:05
  this. I can see the circle, but it's
• 3:08
  not the same as the square. Like you know how you can always
• 3:10
  see your glasses feels a little bit different.
• 3:13
  I really like that part. So I'm like, you know what, I'm
• 3:15
  just going to decide to use them no matter what.
• 3:18
  But this leads to the bigger conversation of what other
• 3:21
  things can you just decide you're going to do?
• 3:24
  You know, it's kind of like when someone says to me, I don't
• 3:27
  understand why that you, you know, you work so hard all the
• 3:30
  time and you're doing all this gardening and I'm I'm doing
• 3:33
  chores even while I'm talking to you, I'm getting the girls
• 3:36
  snack, their breakfast snack ready for them.
• 3:39
  And I'm thinking to myself, you know, this is just the decision
• 3:44
  of I made the decision a long time ago to like doing this
• 3:47
  stuff. So when someone looks at me and
• 3:49
  says, oh God, why would you have spent your vacation like this?
• 3:53
  I just made the decision to like it.
• 3:54
  My son just does it in different places.
• 3:57
  I do it in different places. I I think we all do it in
• 4:01
  different places. It's kind of like making the
• 4:03
  decision. Like I've never made the
• 4:04
  decision to like peas. I just don't like them.
• 4:07
  But could I force myself to do it?
• 4:09
  Sure. I'm pretty sure I did that with
• 4:12
  avocado at some point because I didn't like it.
• 4:15
  It was bitter to me. But over the time, I've really
• 4:18
  learned to like it. So here's the point of this
• 4:22
  conversation today. The point of the conversation is
• 4:25
  make the decisions that you need to in order to further yourself
• 4:29
  and say, you know what? I am going to do this because I
• 4:32
  know it's important. It's like walking for me.
• 4:34
  I made the decision a long time ago to walk so much because I
• 4:38
  knew it's what my body needed and I was right.
• 4:40
  And I'll and I'll do these decisions over and over and
• 4:44
  over, especially with gardening. Like now I really have, for the
• 4:48
  first time since we've been here, I really have a clear
• 4:52
  vision of what I want to do and how I want to do it.
• 4:55
  And I could not be more excited about it.
• 4:58
  So fact of the matter is, make the decision and dive in.
• 5:03
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day.
• 5:06
  And I'm going to go with my round glasses all day.
• 5:09
  And I feel good about that. All right, I'll talk to you guys
• 5:13
  soon. Bye.
