| 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 |
| 0:16.4 | because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. |
| 0:30.2 | Before I get into today's topic, things that strip joy, quick story. So I'm doing the Cross Fit Open and if you don't know it's a worldwide competition and back in the day |
| 0:37.1 | when I was really into Cross Fit we would do this every year and then I stopped |
| 0:41.6 | doing it and this year I'm just doing it for fun. And so I was |
| 0:46.8 | Judging someone who was doing one of the workouts and this friend that I have |
| 0:57.6 | Is what? workouts and this friend that I have is walking by me and he's not like a super close friend but I've known him for years he's a friend and I put my hand out to give him a high-five while I was judging this person and he kind of looked at me, walked around my hand, completely ignored my highive and continued on and as I was judging I noticed that I was |

| 1:36.1 | joking or why did you completely ignore me and it was like it's like a 20-30 foot walk because the gym's big and I remember as I'm walking toward him |
| 1:46.8 | because I could you know see him right in front of my my face as I was walking toward him. |
| 1:52.8 | He's kind of an expressionless introverted guy, right? |
| 1:55.8 | So as I was walking toward him, all these feelings like, you know, |
| 2:02.1 | I thought that because we're all competing technically competing that he was like I |
| 2:09.2 | don't know being being mad at me or not talking to me or he saw me his competition which I thought was really petty. |
| 2:16.0 | So all these things are forming in my mind and I walk up to him and I say, |
| 2:21.0 | hey what did you, why did you ignore me? |
| 2:25.0 | Or are you just kidding? |
| 2:25.8 | And he said, oh, I thought you were pointing |
| 2:30.0 | to go around you because you were judging someone. |
