My inbox is regularly flooded with emails. I admit, it is my fault. Because…
I subscribe to them willingly!
Attracted by the insights of various health, wealth, and mindset coaches I enjoy:
There are days when my mental wealth and emotional capacity are strong, and the emails are a source of incredible inspiration and fun. I feel connected to a powerful, universal supergrid of energy, confidence and actionability.
...But there are days when these emails are overwhelmingly toxic. In fact they should carry a government health warning (plus prescribe 3 cloves of garlic and a crucifix).
THE T.E.S.A. CYCLE OF DOOM
What does it look like? The emails lead me down rabbit holes stuffed with articles and videos. They stir up a weird blend of emotions and sensations – fear, tension, anxiety, and unsettling nervous energy. So I track a couple of variables. I make a note of what's happening to my mental, emotional and physical states. And my answer to the much bigger question "why now?"
T- My THOUGHTS: These entrepreneurs make business sound so easy. What am I doing wrong, they seem to be making millions? I’m not cut out for being an entrepreneur. All this marketing stuff is too hard, it's impossible.
E - My EMOTIONS: sadness, fear, anxiety, feeling inferior & incompetent.
S - My SENSATIONS: Tension in stomach and heart. Nervous energy in muscles. Paralysis of thought.

A - My ACTIONS & OUTCOMES: Don’t feel like working. Not thinking straight. Throw myself into non-business related tasks to feel better about myself. Procrastinate and waste time. Feel demotivated and incompetent.
This is the T.E.S.A. cycle of doom in full swing:
