Hey guys,
Fear is sneaky. It hijacks your nervous system, makes everything feel urgent, and keeps you stuck in survival mode.
And let’s be honest—there’s no shortage of things to be afraid of right now.
Political chaos.
Financial stress.
Social media telling you to “be better” every five seconds.
No wonder you’re feeling fried and afraid.
Left unchecked, fear leads to burnout—or worse, blowing up your life in a moment of panic.
But you don’t have to stay there.
With a few simple tools, you can reset your nervous system, focus on what you can control, and
start showing up with clarity and calm.
The Quote
"You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." – Jon Kabat-Zinn
Life’s going to throw stuff your way. Fear, stress, unpredictability—it’s all part of it.
The real work is learning how to stay centered through the storm.
Tool for this Week
Try the T-Chart
Grab a piece of paper and draw a big T.
-
Left side: What I Can Control (e.g. mindset, attitude, my next action)
-
Right side: What I Can’t Control (e.g. others’ opinions, the past, the algorithm)
This practice shifts you out of reactivity and into grounded decision-making. Less spiraling, more steady action.
