Hey there,

Can I ask you a question?

When anxiety shows up, what's the very first thing you do?

Do you Google it?

Ask someone if they think you're okay?

Check your pulse?

Read one more article?

Open your Apple Watch?

Ask ChatGPT?

Most of us do.

Because reassurance feels like relief.

And for a few minutes...

it is.

But here's the problem:

Anxiety has a terrible memory.

The relief fades.

The uncertainty comes back.

And suddenly you're looking for another answer.

Then another.

Then another.

That's because anxiety usually isn't looking for information.

It's looking for certainty.

Unfortunately, life has never been in the guarantee business.

That's what this week's article is all about.

Why reassurance feels so good...

Why it never lasts...

And what actually builds lasting confidence instead.

That one hit me.

Maybe it'll hit you too.

Keep it brash and most of all, keep it true to you!
