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

rebirth many years ago and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life

lessons and revelations. I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose

because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated.

It's 4.30 a.m. sitting in the garage, recording a podcast. And I got out of bed because I told myself a long time ago that I wouldn't stew in bed.

You know, I wouldn't force myself to keep sleeping if I didn't feel like sleeping.

So I was lying in bed wide awake and recently I haven't

been getting up early I've been just like forcing myself to go back to sleep and

then I wake up groggy. I do my best when I wake up early. And I'm

sharing this because I think one of the reasons why I've been forcing myself to keep sleeping is I've been in a funk

I've been a little bit depressed I have a little this thymia and I think where it's coming from is stagnation.

You know I've always been the high-strung kid running somewhere, dreaming, building, it's really hard for

me to stand still. And so as an adult, I've always been trying to get to the other side, you know.

And in the last, I don't know, I would say three years

things have been good well things haven't been bad things have been I mean I like to say things have been good

I like to say things have been good because I'm trying to be just

grateful for everything I have how far I've come what I've built but there hasn't

been any kind of spike as far as with my career in life.

It's just been kind of on cruise control, right?

And so for someone like me who is addicted to

addicted to the dopamine that comes from new things

that comes from these spikes know, these spikes.
