Matt's Audio Letter of the Week

Hey everyone, welcome to this week's Feel Better Letter, or FBL. This is Matt.

Today, I just want to send out a simple message—just a message of thanks and gratitude. I want to thank all of you who listen to this and are part of this community in some way. I truly appreciate every one of you.

Obviously, without you, I wouldn’t get to do what I do. Almost every day I wake up grateful that I have the opportunity to work with people around fear, to help them transcend it, move through it, and create a whole new experience of life on the other side.

I also want to thank you for your courage and your commitment to yourself. Because this journey is different for everyone, and most people will never take it. Most people live trapped and imprisoned by fear without even realizing it.

To become conscious of how fear impacts you, how it controls you—and then to take the courageous steps to face it, work through it, and ultimately remove its grip from your life—is an incredible adventure. And in my opinion, there’s nothing more transformative.

So today, again, I just want to say thank you.

If you're celebrating Thanksgiving this week, I hope you’re able to take some time for yourself. And if you're in a country where Thanksgiving isn’t celebrated, you can still do this exercise: take a moment to sit quietly. I like to do it outside—right now as I’m recording this, I’m outside, and you might even hear the birds around me.

Take some time to reflect on this year and the things you’re grateful for. It’s easy to get hyper-focused on what we’re dissatisfied with, especially when dealing with mental or emotional struggles. But if you have your physical health, people in your life, a roof over your head, food to eat, a shower to take, a refrigerator to keep your food cold—there’s a lot to be grateful for.

And when you sit with that long enough to actually feel the gratitude—not just think about it or say it, but feel it vibrationally in your body—it shifts your state. People talk about gratitude journals or gratitude practices, and those are great, but if you’re not doing it to the point where you truly feel it, you’re not getting the real benefit. At that point it’s just a mental exercise.

So what I want to encourage you to do this week is take some space and focus on something you're truly grateful for until you feel that gratitude expand in your body. Notice how that changes your state.

It’s something you can do every day, even for a few minutes, and if you do it consistently, it can make a huge difference.

With all that said, thank you so much. Wishing you all a great day and a great week, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
