Then your whole life begins to change.

If someone watching or listening is saying, well, my present is really challenging right now.

How can I actually enjoy the present when I'm in breakdown everywhere?

The problem is lives in the mind.

I've got a number of topics today.

One being about the law of attraction.

I want to talk about stress and anxiety.

I want to talk about why people suffer and how to get out of suffering.

I want to talk about relationships and how to know when you're in a healthy dynamic in relationships.

All these things I want to talk about today.

But the first one.

I felt like I was trapped in suffering for so many years, and I didn't know how to get out of this suffering, anxious, stressful feeling that would come and go, that would ruminate at night, that would keep me up at night, that would make me anxious in social settings, that would make me feel like I wasn't good enough.

And I know people feel a sense of suffering, anxiety, overwhelm, and stress today, which seems like more than ever.

I'm curious with all of your wisdom and experience, how can we overcome or eliminate stress and suffering and anxiety in our lives when it seems to be crippling us?

My past, my memories, my beliefs, all these thoughts that are accumulated in the bank of my mind from the past that I've told myself, this happened to me, this is what's wrong with me, this is why I'm not good enough, or this person did this, or whatever.

Exactly, exactly.

You're not good enough.

Yeah, all these things.

Why do so many people hold on to their pain identity, their past story for decades sometimes?

Why do they hold onto it so long when you might see their friends and family seeing that they're suffering and struggling, but they're unwilling to break free of this old identity or current identity they've been holding onto for so long?
