Fear Disguises Itself As Practicality. 

SolCore Therapy And Fitness

👉🏽 Once I do “x,” I’ll do “y.”

👉🏽 Things are a little chaotic right now, “X” will be a better time

👉🏽 This works for my schedule now

These statements are fear disguising itself as practicality. It is a conditioned response to keep you in perceived ease and comfort. The pull of ease and comfort is strong. Like Death Start, gravity ray strong. 😂

It makes total sense to you in your head. So you chalk it up to being logical. But it’s not logical. It’s an emotion that wants to keep you where you are, promising ease and flow, but it’s anything but.

We all have an innate desire to grow to blossom if you will. And along with that desire to grow comes fear. Nobody is immune to this, and it is totally normal. 

To grow = to push out of your comfort zone. 👊🏽

To move out of your comfort zone = the unknown. 😱

The unknown triggers the emergency button of your ego, and “poof,” it wakes up and starts to take over. It hijacks you, and you begin to identify with it, and you think all those thoughts and feelings are you, and now you are running on auto piolet away from how your soul wants to grow.

But it will feel at the time like it is the prudent thing to do. But look back on your life. Do you see a pattern of “practical” decisions that have stopped you from moving forward?

More than likely, yes! Well, that is a conditioned fear response, my friend. And each time you went along with it, you stopped your growth and strengthened the response.

This post is for everybody. I am very driven, but I also see this in my life. I choose to consciously choose my life and grow into the uncomfortableness of growth because not allowing my soul to expand is more torturous than any fear presented as real and practical.

The Most Important Promises

SolCore Therapy and Fitness

We’re all taught as children to keep our word to others, right? To mean what we say – and to follow up when we tell someone we’re going to do something for them.

This also applies to keeping the promises we make to ourselves. And they’re just as crucial to living a successful life and feeling content.

Breaking promises to ourselves is one of the main reasons people fail to reach goals and feel bad about themselves.

• You swear you won’t eat and drink that much again – but Friday Happy Hour rolls around and you do.

• You tell yourself that you’ll find a routine that is better for your body– but then you go back to what you know.

• You promise yourself that you’re going to put a certain amount of money into a savings account out of each paycheck – but you keep forgetting.

The result is the same in each case: You feel terrible about yourself AND you don’t make progress toward your goal.

Here are some tips to break the cycle.

Personal integrity is a powerful concept in helping you live the life you want and deserve. But it’s also something we practice by words, thoughts, and actions every day. Just do it.

I believe in you!

Perception Is So Important (and Changeable)

Solcore Therapy and fitness

Scenario One:

“Hi, how’s it going?” an acquaintance asks you on a Monday morning.

“Ugh!” you reply. “I’ve got a bad case of the Mondays.”

Sound familiar? I’m sure – especially if the traffic was terrible or the kids were giving you a hard time.

Now try Scenario Two:

“Hi, how’s it going” an acquaintance asks you on a Monday morning.

“Things are good,” you reply. “I made it to work on time and I’m ready to dive in!”

In both cases, you’ve had the same morning so far. Everything’s the same, that is, except your perception.

How you answer such a simple question – and how you live your life — is really up to you. It’s just as easy to perceive things in a “positive” manner as it is in a “negative” manner.

This is not just pollyanna.

We all assign value to every circumstance in our life. It’s part of human nature to bring order to the chaos of the world. It’s the heart of all storytelling, including all the ones in which you’re the central character. Once you realize that this challenge is not only “OK” but “essential,” you can stop letting fear of it warp your perception.

In developing healthy habits, you’ll have days when everything goes your way – and days when it feels hard to eat right and exercise… Days when the stress of life builds. When people hurt your feelings.

It’s all part of what drives you forward in your own story. It’s fuel for your fire!

So, realize that your perceptions are a choice. You can choose to tell yourself everything is as it should be and then do the next right thing. Or you can choose to lie down and be a victim, complaining along the way.

Either way, you’re telling a story.

So, choose to write the story that serves you best.

I Don’t Care What You Feel.

SolCore Therapy & Fitness

Did that catch your attention? It’s not that I don’t care about you; I don’t trust what you feel, from the emotional to the physical. You are here because this holistic model resonated with you. It’s different, and deep inside, you know that good.

That also means you have no reference as to what to expect. Don’t even try. The best thing is to experience it and learn by doing. So if you ask me what other modality it’s like, I’ll say “none” because I don’t want you to reference any preconceived notions.

When you run into roadblocks and feel “for sure” that there is no way you could accomplish it because you must be different. I’ll smile politely and tell you to keep going because I know you have forgotten how to move in specific ways. And the only way to reduce it is to do the activities.

” The way is through.”

When I give you instructions on working holistically with a specific part of the body, you tell me you can’t feel it. I don’t care. Again it’s because I know we are not only training your body holistically but integrating it holistically through mind and body. You don’t feel it because the ” map” in your brain has become unreadable, and we need to redraw it so that you can eventually feel it. It’s called neuro engrams, and it’s a huge part )or should be) of an exercise program.

Feelings are impermanent and are thought forms. They’re not real. An instinctual “feeling” is your higher self coming through. And it comes through without tension or fear. I expect you to have tons of thoughts, forms, and feelings when doing something new unless you have put in the work and have achieved liberation from being attached to your thought forms and fears.

And that is cool. Because I know that through a well-rounded, holistic health dn fitness program, you will not only develop a more mind-body connection, which leads to strength, flexibility, and a better posture and life but to an understanding that you are not your through forms and feeling and are…..so….much….more

This is what we do in our 90-day online program. If that resonates with you and you want to learn more, type interested in the comments, and we’ll contact you.
