If you struggle with anxiety, overthinking or racing thoughts, you've probably tried a whole lotta things to fix it...

  • Meditation
  • Journaling
  • Gratitude lists
  • Breathwork
  • Talk therapy
  • Drugs

...and more.

The question is:

Did it work?

Logan Hobson, a freelancer copywriter who lives in Japan, used all of these things but it didn't fix his anxiety.

He says he would sit down, close his eyes and meditate and then feel kind of calm and collected.

But during the day, when it really mattered, before sales calls and in social situations, the anxious feelings and racing thoughts came rushing back in.

Gratitude lists, journaling and even talk therapy were the same.

In his words...

"When you're doing the practice, it's great. But when it really counts, it's not there for you."

Then he found something that actually worked.

It reduced his anxiety immediately...

...cleared his head quicker than anything he'd tried before...

...and the racing thoughts and the tightness in his chest didn't rush back in like they normally did.

Plus, he could use the techniques during his day, when it really mattered.

That's what this episode is about.

How Logan reduced his anxiety immediately when everything else failed - and how you can too.

Enjoy!

In This Episode with Logan Hobson, You'll Discover:

  • how to reduce anxiety immediately when everything else has failed (it's so simple and profound and yet SO powerful)
  • why meditation, gratitude lists, journaling and even talk therapy didn't work for Logan (and what to do instead)
  • how Logan used these techniques to soothe his anxiety while skydiving (so he could actually enjoy the experience instead of being stuck in his head)
  • the approach that Logan says "works 10x better than meditation" (and how to get started with it)
  • the counter-intuitive truth about anxiety, overthinking and tightness in your chest (most people either don't this or won't tell you)
