It is purely a matter of what,

representations we make to ourselves about what happens.

If something happens to us, the worst thing ever in the world has happened, then we're going to have a really oversized reaction to it.

If we're in complete denial, then we're gonna run over the cliff, over the edge of the cliff.

We really have to listen and check ourselves to see if we're telling ourselves the truth,

And if what we're saying is rational, is it true?

Is it based on fact?

Is it in our best interest?

Does it get us what we want?

Does it protect and prolong our lives?

If we're not being rational with ourselves, then we're our own worst enemy.

So I think we have to monitor what we're telling ourselves because that's what we're reacting to.

And anxiety is a really,

exaggerated fear reaction in the absence of a clear and present danger.

So if people are having anxiety in the absence of genuine threat, then they're obviously telling themselves something that isn't true.

And I try to get people to challenge what they're saying so they can react in a

in a rational way.

Yeah, I think the four things about testing your own thinking is really important.

And that's what I mean by saying

you have to live with intention.
