Hey Reader, Over the past week, I've shared some of the ideas that underpin our approach to anxiety: the reframe, the 10-second window, and why bottom-up beats top-down. Today, I want to give you a clearer picture of what the 15-Day Rewire Anxiety Challenge looks like from the inside. The journey is structured in three sections: Days 1-5: Cultivate CalmBefore you can rewire anything, you need access to a calmer baseline. This initial section gives you immediate, research-backed tools to down-regulate your nervous system when anxiety spikes. You'll learn the physiological sigh (which I shared earlier), single-breath vagal toning, and an orienting practice that pulls you out of anxious tunnel vision and back into present-moment reality. By the end of Day 5, you'll have a toolkit for shifting your state in under 60 seconds. Days 6-10: Improve Embodied AwarenessAnxiety thrives in the gap between stimulus and response. This section trains your ability to catch the earliest whispers of activation, before automatic patterns take over. You'll develop your internal early warning system, learn to map your worry patterns, and practice NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) ~ a protocol shown to reduce anxiety by 41% in clinical research. By the end of Day 10, you'll be catching anxiety at a 2 or 3 out of 10, not an 8 or 9. Days 11-15: Rewire Your RelationshipNow we go deeper. This section helps you understand why your anxiety exists, what it's protecting, and how to create lasting safety in your nervous system. You'll explore the equation that explains everything (Anxiety = Resistance × Emotional Intensity), learn why your brain's predictions aren't facts, and practice a reparenting protocol drawn from attachment research. By Day 15, you'll have a fundamentally different relationship with anxiety ~ not as an enemy to defeat, but as a signal to decode. ~~ Each day includes a short theory component (3-5 min) and a guided practice (5-7 min). About 10 minutes total. You'll also get access to our pop-up WhatsApp community ~ a space to share what's landing, ask questions (with direct access to me), and experience the momentum of doing this alongside others. If you've been curious about joining, registration closes on January 2nd and we kick off together on January 5th. → Join the 15-Day Challenge — $50 I hope to see you there, — Jonny |

For the past few months, we’ve created and quietly launched a comprehensive course on rewiring anxiety. Starting January 5th, the 15-Day Rewire Anxiety Challenge will be a condensed sprint through protocols that over 1,400+ students have used to transform their relationship with anxiety. Why a challenge? From my experience, unlearning anxiety is a skill and skills require focused effort, stakes, and community to stick. Here's what you can expect: 15x expert theory + guided practice sessions...
