I wasn't addressing it. And so it's still, I still felt very anxious all the time. I still felt very stressed. And so now rather than the moment that I feel stressed or I feel anxious, I go into action. I go into, I say, this is my mental cues, absorption, absorption, which is like, I absorb the emotion. I'm like, let it fill me up. Let me feel it. Um, now I don't need to indulge in it.

I don't need to ruminate, but I can take five minutes to feel what I'm feeling. And it's not because I need, I believe that I need to do some kind of mental rumination to get over an emotion. It's because I want to teach my body that it's nothing to be afraid of and that's nothing to run from. And that's helped me so much because.

I say, okay, I'm going to give myself five minutes and then I'm going to go on with what my day was going to be. I'm not going to let the emotion derail me from my day because I know at the end of the day, at the end of the day, that day helps me achieve my goals if I keep, if I follow the plan, you know?

And so that has been the biggest change that I've made in the last decade has just been my relationship with bad negative emotions.

A hundred percent. And it's funny because the outcome, like when we built Gin Launch, first business that we ever had, I think a lot of that was still fueled off of this frenetic energy of like trying to run through anxiety. Anxious, stressful. Right. But it created something really cool.

But it was, I remember the moment where it was like two years before we sold that started to shift where I started recognizing that relationship. And then I said, I want to be able to do this in a way that makes me better, not worse. I don't want work to make me worse as a person. I don't want work to make me emotionally worse, to make me spiritually worse, to make me a worse wife.

I want work to make me better. And so the only way I can do that is if every time I have a negative emotion, I look at it as an opportunity to make a better relationship with my emotions, which will, that will transfer to all areas of my life, my relationship, my friendships, et cetera. And so now it's like, I look at business as the biggest vehicle for my personal growth because

I'm constantly facing these negative emotions. And so I get all that practice to confront them and then say, hey, I don't need to run from any of this. And that means that my life gets to expand rather than contract every time I do that.

Yeah, it's actually... So about a year and a half before we sold Gym Launch, our first business, I... It was like there was a week where I had to run our team quarterly. I then had a full team event. I had a speaking gig I was doing, and then I had some other event. And I was lying in bed, and I remember I just felt so much anxiety.

And all of a sudden this like wave came over me, and I had a full-blown panic attack. And then I was up all night, I couldn't sleep. I was like, what's wrong with me? I haven't had a panic attack in a decade. And it wasn't like how, you know, when I was younger, I would get panic attacks at times.

It was like, you know, my tongue is swollen, my hands go numb, like full on, like many more symptoms than I experienced in the past. It freaked me out. And when that happened, I was like, you know, the first thing that happened was like, what's wrong with me? Like, there's got to be something wrong with me because I don't understand.
