15 Minute Anxiety Detox for Leaders
Why are we anxious? If we remove all the deep language, anxiety is directly connected to fear.

Fear of what will happen, fear of what's next, fear of what's coming, fear of failure. I'm not sure how many of us look back at the past week and feel anxiety... my guess is it's a low number. It's usually when we look ahead that anxiety sets in. The bottom line is, we're afraid of uncertainty.

In Philippians 4:11, Paul says we can learn to be content in whatever situation we are in or are facing. Being content is having enough now, being present in the moment regardless of external circumstances present or future. If you are looking ahead this week and are feeling a bit anxious, here is a 5 step "detox" for you to reduce anxiety and increase contentment.

Laflin's Three-Ropes-to-One Downloadable Video
This downloadable video gives you the full explanation for how the three-ropes-to-one trick is done.

Concept: Three ropes are displayed. Each rope is tied into a separate circle. When all three circles are tossed into the air, they appear to transform into one large circle.

Lesson: Each of us has been given different gifts by God. This does not mean that some people are better than others. God loves all of us the same and desires for us to come together and share our gifts.
