If we keep doing what we've always been doing, we're going to keep getting what we've always been getting.

So we have to do something new for a new experience. If we want to change our lives, we have to change something. The best thing to change is our relationship with our thoughts and our feelings. That's my belief system. That's how I think about it.

Do not believe, here's the cliff notes, do not believe all the thoughts that are blowing through your mind. They're not true just because they're there. Do not allow your feelings that come in your body to over To dictate your life, right? Don't let them be in the driver's seat of your life. So if your life is a car, you want to be the one on the wheel.

You want to be the one that's directing your life and steering the wheel. Your feelings are allowed. They can be in the back of the bus. That's fine. Anger can be there. Anxiety can be there. Guilt can be there. Shame. Whatever. You're allowed to have all your feelings. But if you let anxiety get into the driver's seat of your life, your life is going to get really small. Isn't it?

When anxiety makes the decisions for you.. When fear makes the decisions for you..

Grab the wheel from anxiety. Grab the wheel from fear. And start to have that new relationship with your thoughts and your feelings by repeating your mantra, may I be at peace. May I be at peace. May I be at peace. May I be at peace. May I be at peace...



you do have the power to change your life. You are able to change your relationship with your thoughts and your feelings. It might not happen overnight. It didn't happen overnight for me. But it will happen with your conscious and deliberate choice. You can choose to have a new life. You can choose to think new thoughts.

You can choose to relate in a new way to your feelings where you don't let them drive you. Where they don't have to control your entire life. Your feelings are not bad. They're not wrong. They are there. When we learn how to let them be there. And this is like one of my favorite things to teach.

When we have that new relationship with our feelings, it's really emotional sobriety in a way. And the way that I look at it, emotional sobriety is when we are sober with our emotions. When we allow our emotions to be to be as they are. They are not driving us. We are not afraid of them. We are not numbing them out.

We are not scared of them. We are not throwing alcohol on them. We are not putting cigarettes over them. We are not dating over them, swiping left and right.. Netflixing over them. We can take the edge off a little bit in some ways. We're not trying to be perfect up in here. But when we can learn how to BE, let our feelings be as they are.

And process them. Express them. One at a time. It's really not that big of a deal. It feels like it when you don't know how. I'm here to teach you how. And so I'm here to help you feel more comfortable in your skin. That was my biggest wish in sobriety. I wanted the anxiety attacks to stop. And I wanted to feel more comfortable in my skin.

So if that's where you're at right now, there is a way out. There is a path out. And it just starts with simple action. We start with new thoughts. And new relationship with our feelings.

The new thought for the day is may I be at peace? May I be at peace?

May I be at peace? And that's my greatest wish for you right today. Here, right now, for you to be at peace. For you to have more moments of peace inside your day.

I really appreciate you being here. And there is so much freedom available for you. The reason why they say that sobriety can be like a life beyond our wildest dreams. That's how I look at it is because literally my wildest dreams have come true. And we can't even, it's we can't even fathom how dare I say good it can get in sobriety.

And by good, by life beyond my wildest dreams. Beyond my wildest dreams is not having anxiety attacks. That is beyond my wildest dreams to not have anxiety attacks for over a decade. It's been over a decade. It was 2012. It was a hot minute to go right to have overcome my phobias. We haven't even gone there yet.

Public speaking, phobia, huge phobia, limited my life. I changed majors in college to avoid public speaking, driving phobia, did not drive on a freeway for three and a half years. So I have overcome all my phobias in sobriety. I have overcome my anxiety disorders in sobriety. I have not had anxiety attacks.

This is all, these things are all beyond my wildest dreams. Okay. So I had other wild dreams too. Like I wanted to move to an Island, and I did right in 2014. But the truly the wildest dreams that have come true for me in sobriety, the biggest wild dream that has come true for me in sobriety is that I've changed my relationship with fear and therefore anxiety. That the anxiety is gone. That I overcame my anxiety. And that I have witnessed so many students and clients of mine over, over the more than decade plus that I've been in business, overcome their anxiety.

I have 100 percent certainty. without a doubt, clarity, and belief and conviction that it is possible for you too. That you can overcome your anxiety. It is on offer for you. We are humans with a nervous system. It's an electrical system. Think about it like an electrical system. It's not personal. It doesn't mean anything about you or your worthiness or your value as a human or how it's always going to be.

It might be how it's always been. But that doesn't mean that's how it always has to be. It's an electrical system that with some tuning, with some work, it can have a new experience of life. 100%. I 100 percent believe that. So if there's anything that you take from this this podcast today is that there is freedom available for you.

And I'm so excited to find out how much. Isn't that so exciting to find out how much freedom is available for you? And you just start very simply. May I be at peace. May I be at peace. May I be at peace. All right. Peace out. May you be at peace. Have a beautiful day 📍

​ all right, bye.
