And people came to me and they said, well, I'm in total integrity now. I don't lie at all, but I'm afraid all the time. And I was like, well, you can't tell the truth and be afraid all the time. But I only know that because I've spent like hours and hours and hours meditating and looking at every thought that scares me and saying, okay, is that true right now?

come into the present moment, come into what's actually happened, come into the things you thought would annihilate you and notice that they all helped you be free. And so then I wrote a book about anxiety because I realized that physically in the brain, people are getting stuck there. And so you have to use creativity to pull yourself out and then you can see the truth because it feels wonderful.

So the body will go not north. And you go, what's a slightly improved thought? I'm okay right now. Okay, more north. I've been okay a long time. More north. I'll always be okay even when I die. Ooh, do north.

It feels scary. It feels very frightening. And you tell yourself a lot of stories about if I lose this, if I let go of this, I will suffer. It will be horrible. And if you look back at... Like, now I'm old enough that I can look back on the history of things that I thought would destroy me. And I always thought, if I lose this, horrible things will happen.

And feel in your body that your body is saying, yeah, that feels truer. That feels more. Check your breath. Like if you're used to watching your breath in meditation, you'll notice that when you say a true thought, your body goes, and your chest literally expands.
