CHAPTER ONE: CHANGE YOUR THINKING

begin i think it's important that I let everyone know my intentions for writing this novel. it's simple for the betterment of mankind. So many humans are suffering right now. The world we live in is unrecognizable compared to 20 years ago. Mass Shooting,War,Death,Poverty, Ext... The World we live in is void of basic human rights like compassion,love,sympathy, etc... And the normal world as we know is gone. And now we are told human rights are to let our children have the right and mental capacity to make life altering decisions. like having a sex change or the right to divorce their parents. Even though they don't know that vegetables are good for them. We are shown dogs,cats, and animals are more love than human beings. the internet is making us hate ourselves by flooding our sensors with what they think beauty is. Now we're not good anymore. We fake everything to feel attractive. We use Instagram filters to make us feel pretty even though we know it's not the real us. But still, we present it to the world as if we are happy with ourselves. oh, my fellow human brothers/ sister's I dedicate this book to you to uplift you and show you how to be happy in a world of misery. my name is Nasir, and I suffered from anxiety for years. When I was 16, I had my first episode of a panic attack. that's what they called it in 1992. I was in and out of the emergency room for about 3 months. Until I was committed for observation overnight. And it hitman they think I'm crazy. Because they kept telling me it was nothing wrong with me. Because anxiety is not physical, it's mental. so it doesn't come up on machines or charts. Anyway I was an outpatient for about 6 months, and one day, this Muslim doctor told me I can medicate you for the rest of your life or I can give a breathing exercises that will cure you if you follow it. And I trusted her and did the breathing exercises, and it worked. She told me to walk and exercise as well. Because anxiety was a chemical imbalance in the brain. Exercising will bring balance. And that's the first time. I realize it's more to life than we thought. by the time I was 19, anxiety was a thing of the past. I became a Muslim in the faith of Islam. After that, a whole world opened up to me that I couldn't even imagine. don't worry, this is not a religious book. But my religion is the inspiration for me writing this book. I dealt with stress and anxiety off and on in my life. So I have some experience in thinking outside the box. So this book is based on a lifetime of experiences and trials and errors. So let us begin. Insha'Allah (God Willing)
