Hey guys, my name is John Kim. I'm a licensed therapist and life coach putting

self betterment into a shot class because let's face it who's got that much time

these days. I come unpolished, unrehearsed, on purpose.

If you're looking for more of a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place.

Let's talk about the power of experience. So I think there's nothing more convincing

than an experience. You could visualize and I'm a huge fan of visualization and do it all the time you could

think about something you could journal about something but until you have

an experience it's hard to shift your thinking, you know? So here's a quick

example. I had a one of my false beliefs that I carried with me for a long time was that I

I wasn't an athlete and this stemmed from the experience of being on the team in high school, the

football team, but you know the kid with the widest uniform.

Three seconds left in they came and they would

the coach would take it chan Kim in there and as I'm running on the field the

the bell would ring and there's nothing worse than that walk back or that jog back when you almost played. Anyway, so because of that

experience the belief that I formed in my head was that I was a although I was athletic I wasn't an athlete right and so

20 or about 15 years later I found cross fit and crossfits attracts a lot of athletes right also the

cross fit workout is designed to be a micro competition and you are working out with your you're competing with yourself, ideally, but let's face it, you're competing

with all the athletes around you.

And I remember that there would be a mental stutter because of this false

belief I had that I wasn't an athlete so if I went against a workout, worked out with an athlete, I wouldn't

push myself as hard as I could or would self-habitage because I didn't see myself as an athlete. I saw myself as

you know the bench warmer right and so until I gave myself the experience of actually tying an athlete or maybe even beating an athlete.
