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 |
0:16.2 | because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. |
0:19.2 | Today I wanted to give you a life tip that has helped me tremendously. It's something that I started practicing about 10 years ago and I continue to practice it today and I have a real life example for you and this is why I want to make this an episode today is because I love using real life examples. I don't like making shit up. I don't like, you know, well, |
0:47.0 | hypothesizing. I like actually using my story and examples in my own life to help people with theirs, you know? |

1:55.9 | All right so here's my example and lead to the life tip. |
2:12.2 | I have a horrible pattern of getting obsessive. I get obsessive about things And if there's something in the works that's exciting a |
2:17.0 | project and I'm kind of waiting on someone's yes or no depending on the |
2:21.6 | project I could get obsessive about it, wanting it, and I could lose my footing. |
2:28.7 | You know, I could start to chase instead of a track. |
2:33.0 | And I think when this happens, the thing that you want, you actually push further away. |
2:38.0 | But in life, what happens is I get obsessed with something. |
