In this short motivational video, David Brimacombe asks viewers to write a single‑sentence personal statement answering the question “Why does healing matter to me?” He emphasizes that the statement should be highly individualized and serve as a daily affirmation. After creating the sentence, viewers are instructed to repeat it each morning and night, and to share it with others so they can remind the viewer on tough days. Brimacombe frames healing not as a self‑focused activity but as a means to achieve concrete life goals—such as attending a daughter’s wedding, going on a ski trip, or simply becoming a better version of oneself. The purpose of the exercise is to anchor recovery in clear, meaningful motivations, thereby increasing commitment and resilience during the healing process.

What I want you to do today, once you're done watching this video, is I want you to write one sentence, okay? And that sentence is going to answer this question: why does healing matter to me? And that's going to be highly individualized, but I want you to answer that. And that is going to be the statement you're going to repeat. You're going to repeat that at night. You're going to repeat that in the morning. You're going to tell everyone so that they can tell you, remind you on those days where you don't feel great. And that will happen. That you are not doing this for you. You are not doing this simply to get better. You're doing this so that you can be at your daughter's wedding. You're doing this so that you can hang out with your friends and go on that ski trip again. You're doing this to be the better version of yourself. Whatever it is, you're doing it with a reason. You're doing it with purpose. What is your purpose?
