Hey, everybody. It's Dr. Kim. I get asked a lot, "How do you stay so happy all the time? How come you're always so happy?" I've actually been asked that most of my life. The fact is I totally do have bad days. Sometimes people ask me like, "Well, what do you do when you have a bad day?" Today is one of those days so I thought I would make a video to share from this space. Yeah, I know my bad day might not be someone else thinks their bad day is the worst but it's all about how you feel inside. It's your own perspective so low is low. It's like I feel like a two out of 10 right now.

Here's one of the biggest things that I do with that. Yes, sometimes I'll do some tapping or sometimes I'll do a little bit of self-talk and take some rest. That helps a ton. Sometimes I'll have one of those times when I don't want to do any of that. I feel so low I don't even want to try to feel better which sounds pretty bad. What I'll do is I'll just wait for it to pass. That sounds pretty passive but it actually feels lighter to me. Instead of trying to shift it so I can feel better, I'll just decide it doesn't matter if I feel as bad as I feel. That's just like giving myself a break. It actually makes it not be so bad that it feels bad so give yourself a break if you feel awful, or stressed, or you're worried about your health or it feels like nothing is making a difference. I've done so many things. I can never get better.

Just let go of trying to feel better. That is the quickest, easiest way to let your energy lighten, to let your chemistry change, to let your brain patters change. Don't even try. Okay, I'm going to let this go. It will pass and I'll just wait for it to pass. I'm just going to breathe in the meantime. I'll guarantee you I will come out of this. For whatever that's worth, I'm sharing my love with you. You can find me at drkimd.com if you want more assistance with mind-body medicine. I appreciate your comments below.
