Stop Trying to Calm Your Anxiety—Here's What to Do Instead
Your heart is racing. Your palms are sweating. There's a buzzing energy in your chest that won't settle. Your mind is spinning through worst-case scenarios.
You call this anxiety. You treat it like a problem. You try to calm it down, breathe through it, medicate it away, or white-knuckle your way past it.
What if you're misdiagnosing it?
What if that racing heart, that buzzing energy, that activated state isn't fear at all — but excitement that got mislabeled somewhere along the way?
What if anxiety is just compressed excitement, waiting for you to recognize it and let it run in its true direction?
The Actor at the Center of the Universe
Here's the truth nobody prepared you for:
You are at the center of your own universe.
Not metaphorically. Not as a self-help affirmation. Not as some ego inflation that you'll need to transcend later on your spiritual path.
LITERALLY.
Trying to be humble. Trying to be small. Trying not to take up too much space. Trying to fit in with all the other beings who are also pretending they aren't at the centers of their own universes.
It's like a party where everyone is secretly wearing a crown but pretending they don't notice. "Who, me? A king? No, no, I'm just regular. Just trying to get by like everyone else."
Why Your Depression Won't Go Away (And What Actually Works)
What if I told you that depression isn't what you think it is?
Not a chemical imbalance to be medicated into submission. Not a character flaw revealing your spiritual inadequacy. Not evidence that something is fundamentally broken inside you that needs decades of therapy to fix.
What if depression is actually bliss — compressed so tightly it inverted into its opposite?
Stay with me here. This isn't spiritual bypassing or toxic positivity or telling you to "just think happy thoughts." This is a technology. One that actually works. One that changed everything for me. And one that the mainstream mindfulness community either doesn't know about or doesn't have the courage to teach.
