and I encourage other people to do, is to constantly put yourself in situations where you're confronting your fear and then go through it and feel the panic, feel everything that comes up. And then on the other side of that, you realize very quickly, it was all an illusion. It was all in your head. It wasn't real in the way that you thought it was. So how do you confront it?

And to understand that there's a very strong force within you You know, which I call the lower self. You might call it the shadow that is afraid and is doing everything that it can to what it thinks is protecting you. So it's going to convince you. It's going to tell you stories.

This is the voice of fear. So you have to start to understand that your negative thoughts are actually just the voice of your fear and then understand that the culture is trying to keep you afraid.
