| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own |
| 0:04.3 | rebirth many years ago and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life |
| 0:08.9 | lessons and revelations. I believe in casual over clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose |
| 0:16.5 | because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated. |
| 0:21.6 | I woke up this morning actually I don't even know if I woke up because I don't think I even slept last night |
| 0:28.6 | This morning feeling like an exhaust pipe not wanting wanting to start a day, just a zombie, deflated, discouraged, unmotivated. |
| 0:38.9 | You know what I'm talking about, I'm sure you've been there. |
| 0:41.7 | And also with me, not sleeping is a it's it's activating because I went |
| 0:48.0 | through two years of insomnia so when I don't sleep I have this panic that it's going to be like the dark tunnel that I went through many years ago and |
| 1:00.2 | when I didn't sleep for two years I really understood what it feels like for those who are extremely depressed and just like wondering what life is about and if it's even worth it. |
| 1:19.0 | So I didn't have a lot of suicidal ideation, but I got close to it, you know. |
| 1:25.0 | I was just, yeah, it was a horrible time. |
| 1:28.0 | Anyway, but my point in sharing this with you is because of course we have a choice and a part of me is like, |
| 1:38.8 | fuck today, I'm done. And this was like at 7 a.m. And then there's another part of me that's like, okay, so you didn't sleep well, great. Well, not great, but okay. I hear you. Now, what are you going to do today? How are you going to show up? Are you going to allow |
| 2:01.3 | not sleeping effects your day, affect you, affect you trying to affect other people. |
| 2:08.9 | What kind of power are you going to give that, right? |
| 2:12.2 | And it doesn't mean to like not accept how you feel because the |
| 2:17.2 | truth is I am exhausted and my lies, my lies, I was going to say my lies are heavy, my |
| 2:22.1 | eyes are heavy, I've been drinking a lot of coffee this morning. |
| 2:26.7 | I'm not going to work out and all of that is true and it's okay. So yes, right you're not you're not minimizing you're not |
| 2:36.5 | deflecting you're not trying to feel something that you don't, right? So accept your truth, this is my truth today, and you have a choice, right? |
| 2:49.8 | And if you decide to move past what happened, and in this case it was not sleeping, and you |
