So, here’s how it mostly works for me these days when I do exposure. Yesterday, my wife and I were at the grocery store, Whole Foods, and I was getting several Koia drinks (excellent kind of health shake that has very low sugar). As I’m pulling the containers out of the store refrigerator, one of them fell on the ground. I quickly snatched it up, put it back in the refrigerator and then immediately put some hand sanitizer on. You all know, the germ thing. But, then I thought: “wait a minute what the hell am I doing, this is in helping me“. So I opened up the refrigerator again and retrieved the bottle that had hit the floor and just put it in my bag. ERP is a daily thing for me no matter what the fear is...and as tough as it is, it still works to some degree. But this time, at the store, the real benefit was a feeling of freedom and empowerment that waved over me. I went to the check out and a guy was struggling with change to reach the amount of money that he owed for his items. I leaned over and said: “do you need some help”? He looked at me and timidly said yes. Now my wife and I are not rich but we certainly have enough to help other people from time to time. And in these times, especially these times in our world, kindness is more important than money. So I just paid for the guys stuff, which was not a lot. He looked shocked and thanked me - more than he needed to and I felt good. Now, I’m not saying that ERP suddenly gives you the feeling that you should start paying for amyones food - but, when you face your fears it does empower you to the present moment and humbles you to other peoples problems no matter how big or small. It takes courage to do ERP, but it does bring you back home. JC 💙 I took picture yesterday from our street. The trees are in focus in the foreground and the ocean is out of focus in the background. It represents something I was told by my very wise mentor, years ago. To paraphrase, he said, “Jim when you’re anxious or fearful, just do and focus on - what’s in front of you and you’ll be ok.”
