    Jesus Christ. When you said stop fighting it, I bursted out in tears. I don’t want to fight anymore. I’m exhausted. I wanna give up the fight and stop trying to force healing.

    Not waiting for symptoms to improve before living your life…..<br>This one will be the hardest for me.

    After 10 years of trying everything I have finally had enough and just accepted discomfort. You’ll fight until you can’t. Everyone eventually get to this point ❤

    I&apos;ve had adrenaline surges at night for over 15 years and like you, I&apos;ve tried everything, all the doctors, all the supplements. Nothing worked. In the past few months I quit trying to make my business work, stopped being bugged by my husband by caring less, and stopped fretting about waking up in the night or having too little sleep. And I&apos;m getting better. It reminds me of the old farmer who had a bad back - true story - and the problem went away. When asked what he did to fix his back pain he replied, &quot;forget about it.&quot; Thanks for your good work.

    I’m sure you already know this, but you’re literally going to be saving so many lives. I’m super grateful for you and you sharing your gift. I will have one hell of a testimony one day and your name will definitely be included in that. I appreciate how you break everything down where it’s uncomplicated and straightforward. I removed all of the labels, diagnoses, the trying to fix. I’m going to live my life and bring these pesky alarms with me and they can stay as long as they’d like.

    &quot;Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.&quot; Bruce Lee. &nbsp;He meant that instead of resisting or fighting negative feelings, you should acknowledge and accept them to truly overcome them, a core idea from his philosophy of Jeet Kune Do and mindfulness, finding peace through acceptance, not avoidance.

    Absolute gem of a video. It&apos;s the main pillar to recover from OCD and anxiety.

    I needed this so badly. I&apos;m so thankful for your channel and your content. I feel like I&apos;m losing my mind most days swinging blindly at symptoms and trying to fix everything. I have hope again 🙏🏻

    Accepting allowing is not easy. Resolutions in sadness . I find that as I became more aware of the toxicity in my life , i started to feel the loss, the loneliness. And I am accepting and showing up differently. To find capacity in the chaos. It is to find the joy, creation new way of seeing things can be challenging. And a slow process as the outside you cannot change, you can only accept and see it with a new eye. Find the glimmers in the chaos. I am grateful for seeing it finally. And it is not easy for sure to be with what shows up.

    I read an article about this acceptance. It&apos;s like those Chinese Finger Traps. The more you struggle the more tightly it wraps around your fingers

    all that searching is also distraction from actually going within
