One day my mind really creatively came up with this bizarre thought. I'll never forget I'm on stage in Mesquite Nevada and I have this thought I wonder if you could think about it enough if you could make yourself faint and then right when I thought that I got dizzy and I felt myself whiting out for a second.

I just remember everything going white and me just being like what the and I had this fear and I was everything going light in me just being like what the

and I had this fear and I was on the external I'm just killing I'm doing a show baa baa baa baa baa just having a great set and inside my mind is going what the

hell was that like I don't know what I'm even saying on the external.

I'm much more listening to the inside while some habit is doing its thing.

So I remember the next day me starting to obsess over it and being worried that when I got on stage that night that I'd make myself faint and I would think about it all day and I started picturing it. I started seeing me collapsing and this started escalating so much more and this also happened

I think because I didn't sleep years before I was touring so much and eating

drive-through drinking at night and then drinking coffee in the morning with two

hours to sleep, hour or whatever, nothing, just getting to the next gig.

And so my body was just full of crap, was just full of drive-through and nothing and whatever, and no exercise, nothing.

So this ended up becoming an anxiety that became the only thing I thought of, became only

what I was obsessed with, the every second was just, and all I would see when I'd see people all the sudden on TV or something is them

fainting or them falling apart and basically the belief was you can't not think about something

right so the belief in my mind was I'm not going to be able to not think

about this and so that's the whole thing. Hello friends and welcome back to the

Light Watkins show where I have the good fortune of interviewing ordinary folks just like you and me

who've taken extraordinary leaps of faith in the direction of their path or their

purpose or what they've identified as their mission in life.

And in doing so, they've been able to positively impact and or inspire

the lives of many other people who've either heard about their story on podcasts like this or who've witnessed them in action or who've directly benefited from their work and this week I am in a fascinating conversation with someone who

I've admired and who I've watched literally walk his talk for years by creating conscious

community, by taking insane leaps of faith, and by inspiring other people
