If you want to become someone who knows that whatever happens, they'll figure it out.
The image of who you are needs to be concrete.

Every time you hold back, you teach the room to ignore you.
In high-stakes rooms, uncertainty is punished.
With exclusion.
With being overlooked.
That’s why an early, quiet contribution shifts how you’re perceived.
Anxiety runs far deeper than most realize.
After working with countless high-achieving clients, one thing has become crystal clear: their success masks a disorted view of the world.
On the surface, their stress looks like overwork or self-doubt.
But dig deeper, and a shocking truth emerges:
Fear is their comfort.
Their political, cultural, and personal beliefs reveal that finances aren’t their only source of anxiety.
They’re trapped in a cycle of worry, driven by the need for control and an obsession with earning enough to isolate their families from the world.
Anxiety is the symptom.
When you address the root cause, the cycle breaks, and the weight disappears.
If I asked you to briefly remember all the times you've felt accomplished every night as you fell asleep, then your unconscious mind focuses on all the ways you can succeed the next day.
What happens if you did this for 6 months?
Who do you become?
Focus on the bigger picture and small stressors magically lose their power:
>What do your children inherit from this version of you?
> What example do you want to set for them?
> What traits do you want to model?
Think in generations.
@NoahRyanCo Change environments often
Form of focus meditation: candle (tratak) or what they now call staring at a wall for 10 mins before work
Handwriting when possible
Work for the week/art for the weekend
Work as only source of dopamine for first 6 hours of day

How to upgrade your self-image in 1 day:
Close your eyes.
Become aware of the sensations in your body.
Focus on how it feels to breathe slower. Do this as you slowly relax every muscle in your body. Head to toe.
Within five minutes you'll notice a tingling sensation in your palms while you relax.
Once that sensation arrives, you will be able to visually go within yourself to create permanent changes in the subconscious: transforming who you believe yourself to be.
Now for the next few minutes, allow yourself to mentally recall a time where you won.
The first time you felt truly loved.
A risk you took that paid off. The first time you realized you were capable of more than you thought.
Experience the scene fully.
You might notice warm feelings in your chest as you replay these memories.
This is the good part.
Fly to the future and imagine the greatest version of you. Notice how ASSERTIVE they stand. Notice how they appear. Sense their confidence.
They've overcome the things that keep you up at night. They've built what you've only imagined. They live life knowing exactly who they are.
Allow the image to become bigger, brighter...
Time will slow as your subconscious examines every detail.
Now imagine how it would feel if this was you right now. Picture yourself in their shoes. Can you feel it?
Linger there for five minutes.
You find yourself softly smiling knowing this is the happiest and most relaxed you have felt in a long time.
Lie there for a while. Enjoy this moment. Know that you can return here whenever you wish, exactly to this place, where you feel exactly as you do now.
All you have to do is close your eyes and imagine yourself back here. You feel rejuvenated by that thought.
Open your eyes and interact with the world from this state.
Believe it or not this is what you are eventually supposed to feel every single day. You will begin to notice that all the things you want to be are already within.
Few take the time to practice this.
Do this daily and you begin to rewire your mind. Change your beliefs. Think, act, and become the person you've seen glimpses of throughout your life.
This is Self-Hypnosis.
This is Psycho-Cybernetics.
This is how you do it.
I've released a full PDF 8 week workbook including 20+ exercises on how to do this on my substack.

—Cogito Ergo Sum
"I am genuinely surprised at myself.
5 years ago, I would have been completely crippled by what I have going on at the moment – but even typing that, I am aware how much smaller I now think of the challenge as being, psychologically."
Uncertainty paralyses ambitious minds because fear forsees what the outcome will mean about them.
Will this prove I'm enough?
Will this prove I'm not?
Will it expose the version I've been trying to hide?

@LORWEN108 As a matter of fact mitochondrial function and gut health come before HPA axis.
Stress is healthy.
The problem is when you lack the capacity to handle it, therefore it accumulates or is experienced as a bigger thing than it is
@PeterDiamandis Most will never truly change because they retreat the moment they touch discomfort.
As matter of fact you will experience a numbness and disconnection from things you once enjoyed
People, places, habits, ideas
In order to transform must be comfortable with actually changing
