Back in 2013, I thought I was having a heart attack.
My business was barely surviving.
I had maxed-out credit cards, refinanced my house, and burned through every dollar I had trying to grow the brand.
The pressure kept building.
And like a lot of people do when things start spiraling…
I broke the habits that kept me grounded.
I stopped training.
Started eating like garbage.
Was downing 3-4 energy drinks a day just to stay awake.
Then one day, it hit me.
I fell to my knees in my backyard, clutching my chest, gasping for air, thinking:
“This is it. I’m dying.”
But it wasn’t a heart attack.
It was a massive panic attack.
And it became the wake-up call I needed.
I share this with you because I know a lot of you are feeling that same pressure right now.
Gas is up.
Groceries cost more.
The economy seems unstable.
And if you’re running a business or trying to get ahead, it can feel like everything is working against you.
But I’ll tell you exactly what I wish someone told me back then:
It’s not the stress that destroys you.
It’s the lack of structure, purpose, and action that lets the stress win.
IF YOU’RE FEELING OVERWHELMED, HERE’S HOW YOU START GETTING YOUR POWER BACK:
Lock in your mindset.
Control the controllables.
You might not be able to fix everything overnight—but you can control your schedule, your diet, your sleep, and your habits.
When everything around you feels unstable, routine becomes your anchor.
Anxiety is the anticipation of pain.
That conversation you’ve been avoiding… that decision you keep pushing off… it’s not going anywhere. Face it head-on. Action beats avoidance every time.
Action alleviates anxiety.
The longer you sit still, the worse it gets.
But the moment you start moving, training again, cleaning up your eating, confronting the hard stuff, you’ll feel the fog begin to lift.
And remember: happiness is an inside job.
Stop chasing external validation and start stacking small wins.
Because nothing rebuilds confidence like progress you earned.
But mindset isn’t enough. You need motion.
HERE’S WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE:
Step 1: Consolidate or refinance your debt
Get clear on where your money’s going. Consolidate where you can. Lower your payments. Buy yourself time to breathe and think again.
Step 2: Cut unnecessary spending
Audit your expenses. Cancel what you don’t need. Sell what’s collecting dust. Don’t focus on looking successful, focus on getting stable.
Step 3: Increase your income
Start looking for a vehicle that rewards your effort.
Not more hours at a job you hate but a business, mission, or opportunity that pays you to serve others and build real momentum.
If you’re overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck right now, you’re not alone.
But understand that you’re also not powerless.
Start with your structure.
Anchor to the habits that keep you grounded.
And don’t just think about it…move.
Because when the world feels like it’s spinning out, the only way to get your power back…
…is to take the next step.
