My Anxiety was through the roof [not going to lie]
I dragged my heavy butt out of the hotel yesterday and back to the homestead...
Which on the surface might seem like a huge win.. FREEDOM BABY!
After all... I did spend 56 hours in a hospital followed by 2 additional days in a hotel...
But I was freaking out inside. Like totally stressed...
My wife (bless her soul) worked her butt off to get the house an allergy free zone...
Yet, part of me was worried my house would trigger another asthma attack.
Which is crazy because we have lived here for 15 months now and nothing like this had ever happened before.
Maybe it was my limiting beliefs...
Or the doctors warning me to watch for "environmental factors." Basically saying my own house might try to kill me again.
So I'm standing at my front door. Hand on the knob. Heart beating like crazy.
I take a deep breath... and push the door open.
Then I wait for doom. For the wheezing to start. For my lungs to shut down.
But guess what?
Nothing happened!
Not only did I NOT have an attack, I could actually breathe better than before!
I walked around touching stuff. Smelling things. Taking deep breaths like a weirdo.
Sat outside in the sunshine and watched the chickens, horses, goats, and kids play for like 3 straight hours (even got a sunburn)
The whole time I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop...
For my body to betray me...
But it never came. By bedtime, I was breathing clearer than I had in months.
Followed by the best night of sleep I've had in months...
So as I am sitting here trying to get back to normal life, it hit me...
We build up these monster fears in our minds. We create worst-case scenarios that almost never happen.
Our brains are like little fear factories working overtime. They manufacture terror from nothing.
(now I do want to be sensitive because health issues are no joke--take your health conditions serious and trust your instincts)
But I'm reminded of how often this happens in business too....
We imagine all the ways things could go wrong.
"What if nobody buys?"
"What if I look stupid?"
"What if I don't know enough?"
"What if I'm not tech savvy?"
"What if I'm not good enough?"
But just like my homecoming, the reality is usually way better than our fears.
This is why I created Winning Edge. It removes all those scary unknowns.

Rooting for you,
