THIS IS MY STORY
As a 3-time USA Memory Champion & Grandmaster of Memory, people wonder if I have naturally gifted abilities.
I don't. I learned and practiced memory techniques after reading the book "Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer" when I was 27 years old.
In my first competition at the 2014 World Memory Championships in China, I almost quit...almost walked out of the room after experiencing the most psychological pressure I’ve ever felt in my entire life.
I spent the next 9 years trying every single mental, emotional, physical performance hack, tactic and technique known to man trying to conquer this pressure and to defeat the chronic anxiety & overwhelm I struggled with.
Not only was I trying to become an elite memory athlete and international TV performer, I was also building businesses on my own and becoming a father of 3 beautiful girls.
I needed more capacity to handle to voltage of life, but none of the methods fully did what I hoped.
I knew in my gut that there was a natural way to overcome this inner pressure.
I TRIED ALL THE THINGS:
Meditation, world class mindset mentors, breathwork, practicing gratitude, journaling, limiting belief work, getting in state, raising my vibration emotionally, therapy reframes, positive thinking, hypnosis, mantras, affirmations, positive thinking & self talk, medications, supplements, nootropics, fitness, yoga, etc.…
…NONE OF IT TOUCHED THE ROOT AND MY ANXIETY ESCALATED INTO DAILY PANIC ATTACKS.
When I discovered that the real root was emotional (and not mental), it took me 2 months of releasing tension to meet & feel the suppressed energy...to heal my chronic anxiety and panic attacks, for good.
I felt lighter and unbotherable…expansive and powerful. The best I had ever felt in my life.
But, that was just the beginning.
I now began to see what was impossible to see before...the distortions of my mind. Now that I had felt through enormous amounts of density and suppression within me, my mind could see itself more clearly.
My achievements & career had been built largely on vanity, pride, selfishness & insecurity.
It was a distorted foundation, like many fellow men in this world.
I could also feel the truth of the deep, living Intelligence at play every moment.
I could never allow the conditioned mind to lead me anymore.
Living Intelligence must lead me, my mind...and build a new true foundation through me.
I now devote myself to meeting and merging with what was alive inside me and serving the moment in front of me (not of my choosing).
This has forged me into a man & father with greater capacity, purpose, wisdom, integrity, & accountability.
Are you ready to surrender to the deep, living Intelligence? Or are you still wanting the false security of the mind?
