Stop lying to yourself

Self administered lies and manipulations create cognitive dissonance, ie, conflicting beliefs

These internal conflicts prevent rational decision making, swift actions and growth from experiences

You need to actively purge out of your mind all the lies

Stop listening to other peoples lies

Everyone lies and almost everything that is said in modern society is a lie

People are not always intentionally or maliciously lying, they are often repeating something they believe is true

Even “white” lies create uncertainty and anxiety

Stop trying to please people

Pleasing people & doing what is right are often at odds with with other

You cant please everyone, trying to do so will create unresolvable conflicts in your mind & in your life

Do what is right & mentally detach from expectations about the outcomes

Start trusting your gut instincts

You will never know all the information about a particular decision, yet you MUST act

Learn how to trust your gut & act decisively & fearlessly on the information you have

Be willing to fail, & use it as a lesson to improve your instincts

Start taking excellent care of yourself

The fitter, stronger, healthier, wealthier and more socially connected you are the easier it is to face uncertainties and failures

This makes you robust and agile

Much confidence is gained through self care and testing

Face death stoically

I was sick for several years, nearly died very slowly and very painfully

Eventually I completely detached from any expectation of an outcome, I became content with each second

Once death had no more hold over me, what could make me fear the future?

Now I help others to over come anxiety, stress, intrusive thoughts and other common symptoms of our stressful world
