That uncomfortable feeling of embarrassment, that's what you're afraid of. Not what people will say online, but the feeling. So it's all emotional root. So when you release that emotional root, when you feel through that pain and you release it, you become what I call unbotherable. That's why, like, I'm here sharing all these details because I don't give a rip anymore.

I'm here to share all these vulnerable stories. It doesn't scare me anymore like it would have, you know, years ago. I'm unbothered by this stuff. And so that's really what's going on for everyone out there. It's not a mental belief that you need to change. It's an internal root, emotional roots, depressed issue that's holding you back.

I get asked this a lot of like thinking about my childhood or thinking about that one issue. I haven't found it yet. I haven't found that one thing. And that's actually good news because people don't need to find that one thing or the real root of the moment or the pattern from your childhood or what your parents said to you or your teacher to figure out exactly. And you really, really don't.

And I truly mean that. That's why I'm totally against cognitive therapy. And I know That's pretty bold to stay on here, but it won't get to the root. Digging for that stuff will only create those neural pathways, like I said, that I caused the panic attacks for me digging in the past. But how do you access these emotions to free them? Because everyone wants to know how to do that.

That's the real key. Every single moment in your day that bothers you is a portal. I call these portals to higher potential. This is what I teach. If you're bothered or triggered by something, in that moment, a portal opens, so to speak. Now you have the opportunity to step through, to feel that stuff, to allow it to move through you, to expand.

So if I'm bothered by someone who cut me off in traffic, right, almost an accident, and I get rage and I tense up, in that moment, I can relax, allow it to move through me. There's a couple other things that you can do. If I process that out, that means that whatever was inside of me is released.

That thing that's inside of me, the reason you were bothered by that person cutting you off in traffic isn't because of that driver. It's because of something that happened five years ago, 10 years ago, 30 years ago inside of you. If I'm overwhelmed at the day in my to-do list, it has nothing to do with my to-do list.

It has everything to do with all of the stuff from years past that I'm holding inside of me. So you don't need to figure out, oh, where's this overwhelm coming from? You just need to feel it when it comes up.

Yeah, I know. Initially, I thought it was like a conspiracy theory, like they're suppressing the truth from us. But like, I don't think a lot of people know about this, right? Kids are really, really good at memory. Why? Because they use their imagination. I'm 38 years old, and my imagination is as good as any seven-year-old. That's part of it, is I've cultivated.

It's not that I'm training my imagination, I'm allowing it to come back, because we all have it. It's just an innate ability that we block and say, oh... Be serious, be logical, right? That left brain type of dominance of the world. So a technique, let's talk about memorizing names, which you said you're horrible at. And I was too.
