Twitter.com slash Josephclough. Now today in this podcast, I want to really go into how I began to let go

of the anxiety that I faced when I was younger. Now, you can replace anxiety with fear or self-doubt or not

No matter what I try to do, no matter how hard I tried to escape it or run away from it, or even

try to replace it with other thoughts, it just caused me to feel conflicted, and I tell you why as well.

The more I try to build these barriers of protection from it, the more I became separate from it.

But when it did come, it came back thicker and faster, harder, and it just allowed the anxiety to grow

way beyond any reasonable feeling of anxiety so all these barriers I was putting up as

protection trying to escape from it it just kept on coming back I felt so separate from it
