And mind you, I'm not perfect.

I'm not a guru.

I am just another flawed human as we all are trying my best.

And I've learned over the past 20 plus years of working on myself, some tools that have helped me get out of suffering.

And so I want to give you six lessons that I think that you can pull from this.

Okay.

Lesson number one, which is very important for today, is your mind will create false futures.

Most suffering does not come from reality.

It comes from imagined realities.

Your brain is constantly trying to predict danger.

That's what it has evolved to do.

And if you don't become aware of it, your mind will drag you into projected futures that don't exist.

And that's where most of our anxiety comes from.

All of the time, almost.

is not reality, it's projections.

And so your nervous system will start reacting to your mind, to your stories, to your assumptions, to your fears, to your worries.

Instead of what's actually happening in this moment,

And your body will pay the price for thoughts that aren't even real.

So you have to be aware of when your mind is causing your body suffering.

When it is bringing up... When you feel anxiety, it's 99.9% of the time your mind imagining a fearful future that's not happening in this moment.
