misogi is a Japanese word which means I've definitely pronounced it wrong it

00:00:04

derived from a Japanese process it's called water cleansing so apparently the

00:00:08

traditional in Japan is once a year they go and stand under a cold waterfall and

00:00:12

it's like this Soul cleansing so it's kind of like pressing control out to

00:00:15

meet on your mind and uh now how it's evolved is to everyone to have a a misogi which is a year defining moment

00:00:23

so it's doing something that defines your year so you can look back so for me

00:00:28

like this is my Mogi I can back and say 2024 my misogi was running across the Arctic again for someone else maybe it's

00:00:36

the year they started a podcast maybe it's the year they started a business maybe it's the year they did a 10K but

00:00:42

it's thinking to yourself what is the one thing that's going to Define my year

00:00:47

and it has to be something that that scares you that you're not sure that you

00:00:50

can complete because otherwise as you say we kind of drift through life like this someone said to me today oh you
