The (deepest) root cause of anxiety


Reader,

"X" strategies to overcome anxiety

Stuff like this 👆 won't get you out of your mess.
Because it's not addressing the root cause.
Temporary relief - maybe. A fix - no.

So what is a permanent fix?

Glad you asked.

It's getting to the root cause.
Not strategies and tactics.

In the case of anxiety,
it's the subconscious belief
that you are not going to be okay in the future.

But where is it coming from?

From your past.

From early times when you learned
that being yourself threatened
your connection with
your caregivers.

Because, for one reason or another,
they couldn't handle your authenticity.

So you had to let go of it
just to survive.

And now, decades later when
you (accidentally) get in touch
with your authenticity, you get anxious.

You feel unsafe.
You feel that you
are not going to be okay.

Reconnecting to your innate authenticity +
overcoming the fear of being yourself takes care of it.

These are the key root-cause concepts I address in my new authenticity mini-course.

The launch date is Monday - Apr. 29th

Is overcoming your primal fears and living in alignment with your true nature of interest? I'll notify you when the course launches.

Enrollment will be open for 5 days only.

In-joy your weekend 💚

Reader, I've made a decision... This is the last email I am sending to you. Here's why: My KPI these days is: Sense of satisfaction per unit of time (usually minutes) Honestly, I am no longer getting enough sense of satisfaction/fulfillment from crafting these emails every Sunday. Every week, I feel like I'm screaming into an empty, bottomless well. What I put together might be of value to some (and maybe to you). But I don't know about it. These days, I get far more fulfillment and...

What am I doing with my life? When a person is forced to ask this question, they usually feel they have only two choices: One, abandon their current pursuits which they no longer resonate with ...but fear that if they do, they'll no longer desire and achieve like before In other words, they feel they'll resign from life (as they know it 😉) Or Two, they turn a blind eye to the question and stay out of alignment by continuing with their current pursuits ...of goals and aspirations they no...

Reader, This is the most depressing question. Or is it? Could it be ultimately the most liberating? I'll argue that it is. Two years ago, I had a coaching call with someone I know well. At that point, I would have qualified him as an ambitious overachiever. Not only did he have huge ambitions. He also had huge standards for himself. If he didn't achieve according to his standards, he'd be hard on himself. As usual, his standards arose from witnessing other overachievers crush big goals....
