Goal of video
In this video, I talk about the role of a person’s attitudes in the process of overcoming anxiety.
This video is a little different in as much as I bare my soul and talk about the attitudes I used for my recovery (and my continued mental health).
It is very personal and surprisingly pulled up within me remnants of past traumas that I thought I had already worked through (obviously not), but that is OK.
My first attempt at recording the video ended up with me becoming very emotional (which is good) as that stuff has to keep on coming up to empty that atomic energy battery – and vulnerability is the best way to access it!
Key messages

Could you handle those worst consequences? If so, you don’t need to follow the rules!
Remember, THE brain proposes thoughts, not you, you are the Observer of those thoughts – and many of those thoughts can be ‘allocated’ to childlike aspects of the ego, like the, judge, victim, pleaser, rebel, worrier etc.
Are your fears child-like or adult-like?
How I decided to look at death differently.
Do we need to change the world or learn to live within it?
