I'm anxious and that's fine

How do millionaires think?
We’ve previously talked about getting hung up on old money stories; things like “I’ll never have that much money”. We want you to rip up those stories. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have or can’t do, count up what you can do and can achieve, and we’re going to teach you how to put that into practice.

Talking to yourself in third person can help control your emotions
Research has found that something called distanced self-talk can help us to regulate our emotions. Talking about ourselves in the third person gives us a unique perspective. You can think of yourself as a friend or a colleague, but you still get access to your intimate thoughts and feelings. In other words, you get to feel your feelings and be your own confidante. We’re going to teach you how to give it a crack..

Open your eyes to your anxiety (no literally, widen your gaze!)
When we feel anxious our eyes tend to narrow, according to psychiatrist and neuroscientist Jud Brewer. It has to do with a thing called somatic memory – when your body mimics emotions. So when you’re feeling closed off, your vision can close off. It’s the same reason we hunch when we’re defensive. The good news is you can reverse engineer it, and we’re going to explore how.
