Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

What do you think was, I guess, causing you the most overwhelmed in terms of emotions or thoughts?

Is it an anxiety feeling?

Is it more of a depression feeling? Is it worry? Is it shame?

What is the emotion or feeling that is causing the most stress?

Yeah.

Well, I looked at it. I asked. I looked all the way in and I asked what is here underneath it all and I found out that the fear, the primal fear for me and we all have different primal fears but mine is that I was alone

that ultimately I was alone I wasn't loved by God I was all alone in this world

and that was my primal fear. During this whole time of kind of stress and anxiety and depression.

During the whole time, I think what was underneath all of it

was that I'm alone in this world.

And I have since learned how untrue that is

How deeply loved I am

How connected to God I am and I just but at the time that was what I was always most afraid of.

Why do you think that was in your subconscious or in your body consistently?

When you have a family, your parents are here, you've got

I wrote songs and songs about this.

Yes, like millions of people.

I could look online and look and how funny and ironic how empty that is but listen it is the

most amazing thing to learn because it isn't going to fill you no matter how many people

are around you you know this too no matter how much love you receive it's never going to be enough if you're not finding it within it's true and so I never was really learning to find it within I was kind of like hungry like a hungry ghost Tara Brock says I love her work you know you're just like grabbing for more and more and more and scrolling for more and more and like I had two beautiful daughters who were healthy and I had a husband that loved me and family that was around me loving me and none of it was going to be enough ever if I hadn't filled the well.

No, because Lewis, like I wasn't giving it to myself.
