Hi, my name is John Kim and I'm a therapist who went through his own

rebirth. I share my feelings and revelations. I believe in casual or

clinical and with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on

purpose because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. One of the things the

Stoics talk about is negative visualization and I think this is a fun

exercise to create room for gratitude to grow. So let me explain what it is. It's really simple. It's basically

think about what you have in your life right now, right? Not something that you want or

you're working toward.

Think about what you have right now.

So for me, you know, the things that you like, the things that you enjoy, the things that you

have that have meaning, right?

So when I think about my life, my daughter,

obviously is important, my relationship,

and then things like, you know, my motorcycle, right?

The ability I have to move and sweat every day,

that's important to me.

This platform, being able to do podcasts, being able to create a dialogue, that's super meaningful and important to me. And so these are things that I already have. They're not things that

require me to win the lottery or to it doesn't require to start to line up. These are things I possess now.

Now the exercise is this, imagine if I didn't have these things, right?

So it's not about traumatizing yourself by imagining you know something horrific happening

into your in your life. It's more like imagine if so using my example imagine if I wasn't able to create a dialogue anymore.

Imagine, like I'm trying to imagine if I wasn't able to podcast what a loss that would be for me you know
