"90 % of What you worry about doesn't really happen" MY MOM - 1977

[@LastEarBender]

Nice - my mom worried about every unlikely possibility possible - especially when I was going out with my friends. I had to tell her "maybe a plane will crash directly on my forehead too, but it seems kinda unlikely"

[@LastEarBender]

Side note - She was still an awesome mom - and I miss her.

[@TheLastLivingSaint]

"Get a little cocky" that's a very good point. You made it to where you are because something you bring sets you apart from others. Don't let it go to your head, but use it to psych yourself up.

[@ericjohnson8586]

Complacency gets you ķilled

[@TheLastLivingSaint]

@@ericjohnson8586 100% agree. I think people forget to use "the hype" like Jocko mentioned though. Use it to your advantage but stay humble.

[@michaelpetrus19]

What I have found to be true is the more often you are exposed to stress the less it affects you. You expect to feel it as part of the process. No factor 🙂

[@Last_Chance.]

Stressful situation..... GOOD!!!

7:00 I remember when I had was a speaker at an event with over 500 people, and I went out and said, "Give me a sec. I'm having a panic attack and can't remember my name." We all laughed, I remembered to breathe, and it was enough to override the fear and allow me to just start. I tripped over my words (a lot), but nobody cared and I still got several clients from the event after. Once I was diagnosed with OCD and realized the reason I was avoiding certain situations was because it was compulsive avoidance to minimize anxiety, I started doing smaller exposures that led to larger ones. It started with agoraphobia so bad that I'd have a panic attack just THINKING about walking outside. Through OCD therapy and facing my fear (even when it was the last thing I wanted to do), I was able to speak on stages and travel around the world. It's definitely not comfortable or easy, though, even if it looks like it to other people.

[@ThatAwkwardGuy9999]

As someone who has suffered from (genetic) mental health issues aka depression and anxiety since a child on top of childhood abuse and trauma even at 34 years old today every day is a challenge for me. Social situations even as simple as going to a grocery store. I started practicing meditation and I work out more often now. But sometimes that just takes the edge off. I would do anything to be like most people. But I'm (me) and I just have to live my life and play the hand I was dealt in life. It's held me back from so much in this lifetime. I once had so many dreams. Today I live alone in my apartment go day to day to a janitor job and ride my bicycle to it rain or shine. Because my anxiety won't allow me to get a license. I've had many good jobs but always seem to lose them because of this. I get strength from learning and watching your videos. You truly are an inspiration for me. I hope to somehow break free of my chains eventually and be a better man. I know to many they probably see a loser. But I truly am more then that and have abilities I've just not been able to show. Thank you for doing what you do.

Cutting ties with toxic family and trying to move on. Thinking of being homeless for a bit or rooming with friends as part of the process

[@carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679]

the hardest thing is letting people go.

[@danielpohl29]

Being homeless will teach you a lot about yourself and people. I recommend it at least once.

[@Shawn3002]

You don’t have to move away from people. Simply move toward peace. If they are meant to be in your life they will follow if not it wasnt meant to be. Face and acknowledge the toxicity and if they dont honor your requests let go.

[@adamgardener8624]

I know this stuff, and hearing them say it further solidifies these great ideas. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

Great advice. Know you aren’t alone. I lean on my faith. I am where I am, I still need to perform and there for a reason.. I ask for help, then prepare. No matter what happens, be thankful. You went through a stressor that made you better, stronger and infinitely wiser.

10:00 The Klingons have a saying before they go into battle: Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam. "Today is a good day to die." Sometimes I say this to myself before doing scary stuff, and it instantly refuels me. If I have my bat'leth, I'll swing it around a little to get the blood moving.
