Transform Anxiety into Creative Fuel: Insights from Josh Pais

And so I started experimenting, feeling the actual sensation of anxiety, of fear, of nervousness.

Say nervousness, it was often like a pulsation energy, you know, behind my rib cage, you know, increased heart pounding.

But when I just felt it,

The actual sensation or anxiety, like a swirling energy in my body, a little bit out of control energy.

But when I just felt it without the judgment and the stigma and what we've all been so immersed in a myth, which is that this is a good thing to feel.

And this is a bad thing to feel.

Mick Unplugged

And that's what we have to undo because we are designed, it's in our DNA to feel all these different emotions.

And so by just me feeling the frequency, the energetic pattern, I was still feeling it, but I was actually really feeling it as opposed to identifying it and then trying to suppress it.

And then that started to become creative fuel.

So regardless of what I was feeling, I could create with it as opposed to push it away, hold it as bad, pretend it wasn't there, and then try to work while I'm trying to hide something.

But the more we have to...

Mick Unplugged

welcome every sensation none of it is bad if we can get that all it is is a frequency it's just an energetic pattern and it's not good and it's not bad when you really feel it it might be intense but you can withstand it and and if we feel what's there it will shift to something else and something else and something else i love that and speaking of filling it in in that shift

Well, if we're feeling... We've never culturally learned to increase our tolerance for living in a human body, right?

Mick Unplugged
Transform Anxiety into Creative Fuel: Insights from Josh Pais

And living in a human body is living in a system that's vibrating.

Mick Unplugged
Transform Anxiety into Creative Fuel: Insights from Josh Pais

We've come to call those vibrations this emotion or that emotion.

Mick Unplugged
Transform Anxiety into Creative Fuel: Insights from Josh Pais

And we have to know if we ignore it, we're not ignoring it.

Mick Unplugged

We're just suppressing it and pushing it into a part of our body.
