Impact Theory
About this episode

There was a time in my life when I was completely debilitated by anxiety. Fortunately, I have put in a lot of work over the years and studied to understand neurochemically what was happening to me when anxiety would step in to ruin the day. In this Q & A, I am answering 6 common questions about anxiety and laying out the exact process I use and the logic you’ll need to start mastering your own anxiety with time and effort. I remember how hopeless I felt and I now know how simple and effective some of these tips are to put into practice. Action cures all and the sooner you implement these tips the sooner you can start to feel superhuman and reach your true potential.
