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.
0:19.8	Although we have many at bats we only get to play the game once. We only have one life on this planet.
0:31.0	So the question is how do you want to play this game? Do you want to
0:37.0	engage and actually play? Do you want to swing or are you just watching from the bleachers? I know most of my life I've
0:47.8	been watching from the bleachers I have not been engaging in life. Lots of waiting, lots of watching. I think for me what it looks like to take swings in life. I think what that looks like is to live
1:07.2	consciously. So I wanted to kind of break this down. What does that mean to live consciously?
1:14.0	Right now I'm sitting outside and you might have heard that parrot just breeze by me, screeching.
1:22.0	I'm sitting on my porch because it's cold. I was going to say
1:26.8	freezing but people who don't live in Los Angeles will probably roll their
1:32.0	eyes at our definition of freezing but it's
1:34.2	cold today and I'm sitting thawing out on the porch the sun is beating on my
1:39.6	face and it feels amazing there arerots, there's a helicopter distance and I'm being
1:45.2	super present, anchoring myself, using my senses. What I hear, what I feel my body, what I see, what I smell, and by doing so I'm being
1:59.7	very present and I'm getting out of my head. So starting with that, to live consciously first means to be here, to be present. I think we all struggle with living in
2:18.8	our head and by living in our head we're really not engaging in life.
2:24.0	So to live consciously, under that umbrella,
2:27.6	to love consciously.
2:28.9	So starting with love, and I'm not just talking about loving your partner talking about all love friendship love platonic love the love we have for our family to love consciously for me it means to yes first be present but also to pull from
2:50.1	curiosity to pull from truth our truth and our truth changes of course.
