Did you read that Adele, the 23-year old British hit maker of Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You, fears she will die young because of stress? In her words . . .
 

“Oh my God, I’m crippled by fear. I have awful stage fright. I don’t know what possesses me to do it.
I think I’m going to die young from having so much stress all the time.”

 

In other news releases we heard about her fear of losing her voice. Unable to function without her mother and unable to live on her own in the Notting Hill area of London, she moved back home because of the fear that she would one day be found dead, alone, and eaten by rats.

The more she tells herself she’s afraid, the more stress and fear she creates within herself. The more she pictures herself dying alone and eaten by rats, the more she torments herself. The more she fears an early death, the closer she gets to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

As strange as it may sound, I would say that she is producing within herself the emotion of fear. She doesn’t have “awful stage fright.” She is constantly producing “awful stage fright.” She is not just an enormously creative R&B, soul, country soul, and blues singer-songwriter, she’s enormously creative at producing crippling fear. Since she is producing both the stress and the fear, it’s in her power to change it.

Adele does not have to live with this agony. No one does.

My hope for Adele is that she will find herself a skilled practitioner who works with meridian tapping and painlessly get this debilitating stress out of her system.
