Most of us are living by the wrong rules… and wondering why life isn’t working.

We’re taught that if we follow the “right steps,” life will turn out the way we want.
Go to school, get the job, get married, buy things, work hard…
and then you'll be happy.

However, that rule doesn't seem to produce the promised results. Maybe there's another more accurate rule.

You create the reality you focus on.

Your brain doesn’t process negatives.
If you constantly think about what you don't want… it pulls you toward more of it.

“I don’t want to be alone.”
“I don’t want to fail.”
“I don’t want to feel anxious.”

Your brain hears: alone, fail, anxious — and begins filtering for proof of it.

But when you shift to focusing on what you do want, your mind starts building toward that instead:

“I want a healthy, supportive relationship.”
“I want to grow and succeed.”
“I want peace and clarity.”

Same life.
Different focus.
Completely different outcomes.

This isn’t “positive thinking.”
It’s mental discipline and understanding how your brain actually works.

If your life isn’t matching what you hoped for, it’s not because you’re broken or behind…
It might just be that you’re focusing on the wrong thing.

Change the focus- change the behavior-change the reality.

What if your “anxiety” is actually excitement… with a negative story attached?

The physical sensations of stress and excitement are almost identical:
• Increased heart rate
• Energy in the body
• Mind activated
• Anticipation

The difference is the meaning we assign to it.

Stress says: “I’m overwhelmed. I can’t handle this.”
Excitement says: “This matters. Something good is on the other side of this.”

Most of the time, we’re stressed because the thing we’re moving toward actually matters to us.
Growth, change, opportunity, new chapters — they all create discomfort.

So the next time the pressure is on, try shifting the story from:
“I’m anxious,” to “My body is preparing me for something important.”

Not to bypass the hard… but to remember the why behind it.

You’re not breaking down — you’re leveling up.

Your mind is shaping your life whether you realize it or not.
What you repeatedly focus on becomes the direction you move in—good or bad.

This isn’t about “tixic positivity”… it’s about mental discipline.

Start paying attention to what you feed your mind, because your thoughts become your choices, and your choices create your reality.

Notice. Interrupt. Replace.
Simple practice—life-changing impact.

Discomfort is the training ground for life.

If you’re waiting to stop feeling afraid before you move — you’ll wait forever.

Discomfort isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong.
It’s the proof you’re doing something that matters.

Lean in. That’s where growth lives.

10/26/2025

Stop waiting to feel ready.

Courage comes first — confidence is built through action.

Start small. Move forward. Keep going.

10/25/2025

Most people don’t fail because they take big risks.
They fail because they’re too afraid to take small ones.

They stay in jobs that drain them.
Relationships that don’t grow them.
Routines that quietly numb them.

And all the while, life gets smaller—bit by bit—because they avoid discomfort.

The truth?
Every meaningful change in life comes with risk.

Start the conversation.
Joining the group.
Walking into the gym.
Making the call.

Risk isn’t the enemy—stagnation and inaction is.

You don’t need to blow up your life.
You just need the courage to take small risks in the direction of growth.

We talk a lot about mindset, nutrition, and training…
but sleep might be the foundation holding it all together.

When you don’t sleep enough, everything changes:

Your mood dips.

Your patience shortens.

Your cravings increase.

Your focus disappears.

Your brain literally starts treating stress like an emergency.
And your body? It never gets the full chance to repair, reset, and grow.

Getting 7–8 hours isn’t lazy—it’s strategy.
It’s one of the simplest, most overlooked ways to improve your mental and physical health.

protect your rest.
You don’t need more motivation—you need more recovery.

SI can often just be a sign that your brain and spirit are calling for change .... Something new. And in order for something new to be born something old has to go.

Old behaviors
Old beliefs
Old relationships

Your suffering may just be your emotional self calling for change...not death.

If you've felt this way before then you know it to be true. Maybe these feelings are just a sign that with some effort, change and a more enjoyable life are on the horizon.

You'll never regret taking better care of your health. And the simplest, most fundamentally human thing you can do for your health...is walk. Walk as much as possible. Move your body as much as you can.

It will pay you dividends as you get older. Not only extending your life....but more importantly the quality of it.

So walk everyday, after meals is a great time to do it. There are so many health benefits to this simple goal. Keep going.

It's important to keep in mind that if you've started a journey of self-care and healing there will be times where you can get distracted with the tools.

Therapy, journaling, mindfulness, breath work, workshops, conferences, books, can all be helpful.. but they can also be a distraction.

Remember it's also important to just be still and allow yourself to feel... The comfortable and uncomfortable. Don't let the tools distract you from the real work of alone to just be.

10/19/2025

It's important to remember if you're on a journey of self-improvement...that the tools can also be used as a distraction from the real work. Sometimes we can use them so much that we begin to avoid the discomfort that we actually need to experience.

Ask yourself, am I using these tools to feel what I need to? Or am I actually using them to avoid my feelings? There is a a rhythm to self care. It's not always linear. Sometimes you just need to stop and be present with yourself and allow yourself to feel what you need to....the comfortable and the uncomfortable.
