I am a bit shacky and my head is spiraling throught all sorts of bad outcomes-what if I sound weird? what are my family and friends going to think? Maybe I am not talented enough? Maybe my editing skills aren't professionel enough? Maybe I just shouldn't start at all?

I sit back. I take a deep breath. 4 seconds in -4 seconds out. I repeat this until I can feel my heartbeat slowly soften. Then, I remind myself of everything I had learnt. I let the emotions pass like a wave. I look back at my values and what I truly want to aligned with. Eventually I come to realize - yet again- that my emotions are just emotions, not facts.

Only a few years ago, I would have reacted way differently. I would have put everything aside, distracted myself and just given up >

Then likely- I would have continued to be sad and left with this feeling of "I have no purpose", just to drown myself in a bit more self-pity and feed my own ego.I will spare you the rest of this story, as I'm pretty sure you know how it continues. Maybe you even recognize yourself in these patterns?

The bottom line of my example is: this is not me! Nor has it ever been. It is the picure I had drawn and the story I had told myself to be true.

And coming to realize this- has changed my life!And essentially- this is what I am trying to recreat with my podcast.

Over the past few years of studying neuroscience I have become immensly involved in not only understanding how our brain works but how we can use everything it offers to our advantage! I definetly don't have it all figured out, I don't belive anyone has. But I can say for myself that the lessons I have learnt and continue to learn have improved my life drastically- for the better of course!

And if there is anything I could wish for, it would be to have had this toolkit way sooner!

I am not going to be your virtual therapist but I hope to be your friend :-)

And even if there is just a handful of people who this might help, I will feel accomlished.

So here we go!
