0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago |
0:05.6 | and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations. |
0:10.4 | I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose |
0:16.2 | because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated. |
0:22.0 | So I just had a fork in the road moment and I think we have a lot of these moments and I think they're important but we overlook them, we're not aware of them and we lose our opportunity to ultimately to grow and |
0:39.8 | these moments add up to rewiring. |
0:45.0 | So this example I'm going to tell you might sound a little ridiculous. |
0:49.0 | I was at the gym and I was changing into my street clothes about to get on my motorcycle and I'm panicking because I'm late I have meetings I'm sweaty and I take my underwear off and or actually I take my workout shorts off because they have like that |
1:13.0 | underwear lining and then I put my regular underwear on and I put them on |
1:16.8 | backwards which is very John Kim and I notice as I'm pulling them up that they're on backwards and I decide to and this is where with the road forks I decided to just ignore it |

1:55.6 | He's just gonna put him on backwards. |

2:02.0 | He's gonna put his pants on, get on his motorcycle, and it's going to feel a little |
2:06.7 | uncomfortable, maybe not enough to like, you know, go change, but still slightly uncomfortable, and he's going to just suffer and he's going to ride all the way home in this discomfort and then when he gets home he may just keep them on backwards and chances are he will leave them on backwards all day. |
2:27.0 | Now, I stopped myself and I said, breathe, just take a second and put your underwear on the right way. |
2:39.0 | It will take literally five seconds. |
2:44.0 | And I did it, I stopped, I realized that I was pulling |
2:48.0 | from the old John who is impatient and always rushing somewhere |
