That the words fear not are used exact number of times is the number of days that are in our calendar.

Um, so I think that I didn't know that kind of a cool, kind of a cool piece of the nugget there.

It's a daily reminder.

I get it.

And my belief is that from a, I always say I'm the contrary in any conversation, because if you ask me about a physiological symptom, I'm going to ask you about your emotional health.

If you ask me about emotional issue, I'm going to ask you about spirituality.

I'm going to always approach it through the back door to have that conversation.

When people are experiencing fears, I will say personally, one of the ways that I handle fear when it creeps into my life is I have a tendency to play out worst case scenarios.

Because fear triggers this sympathetic nervous system, right?

Our autonomic nervous system is this upshift, downshift type thing, and both are very necessary scenarios.

But fear triggers that sympathetic nervous system.

And unfortunately, we tend to live in our society like what is the number 80 something percent of the population is actually living under chronic stress.

And that stress creates fear.

It's fear of losing my job.

It's fear of, you know, cancer.

It's it's fear of death.

It's fear of my children growing up and being a mess, like whatever it is.

I have a cousin who can't literally rest at night because if she sees a headlight in the window, jumps up off the couch because she's convinced the person is coming into the house and it's like just nervous system off the chain.

And one of the things that I do is I literally, for me, I'm a very cognitive behavioral person.

I tend to play out worst case scenarios because worst case scenarios actually get me out of fear and put me into purpose.
