What if stress was your greatest resource for change?

We often talk about neuroplastic change in the brain requiring 2 things.

1. Focus: our ability to drive attention towards something while also labeling the effort required for that change to be beneficial.
2. Frustration: agitation of the status quo, our ability to do the hard thing when the easy thing is available. To change we must have self awareness so we can take inventory in where we are and allow our guiding principles to give us direction.

However, you may see an issue here. Change doesn't feel good and in a world filled with media that continues to tell us to "trust our gut" what do we do?
​
Do we trust our gut that is telling us this change isn't good?

OR

Do we willpower our way into a new version of ourselves?
​
This is a question that I dove into during our webinar (Click here to watch the replay)

I've come to understand that I gather the most information about myself through taking aligned action.
​
Here is my no-bullshit approach.
​

1. Awareness: what do I notice in my life that I'm emotionally charged about? Nervous/excited or anything in-between.
   1. What is the environment that this manifests from?
   2. Is there a pattern?
   3. Is this feeling coming from novelty or resistance due to my values being negatively challenged?
2. Alignment: When I notice the potential for change with this person, place, or idea, what do I NOT want it to turn into?
   1. Why?
   2. Clarity through contrast, what does your self-awareness of what you don't want to tell you about what you do want?
   3. What does that look into the future? What does it require you to focus on?
3. Action: With clarity in hand, what does that new focus look like in a habit?
   1. How will you take action on this at a 1-5% interval within the next 8 hours?
   2. When will you take action? (SCHEDULE IT)

Now time for some hard truth, this system has worked for companies, parents, brothers, sisters and even my cat.
​
The hardest part is in accountability. Someone often needs to hold you to the standard of your creation and clarity.
​
This is why I recommend high quality friend, cohort and group programs that are heavy in support so that as you recalibrate your life there are touch points which will allow you to recalibrate without the shame of not taking action constantly being held as a motivational stick.
​
I'm biased that my group programs are awesome sauce and here's why.

1. Researched and proven systems. My goal was to provide the most tactical information to help my people think differently about how they were showing up. Which means neuroscience, self-regulation, psychology, case studies, and business models rooted in supportive and sustainable systems.
2. Accountability, we meet upto 3x per week to make sure that if you truly want the change you're saying you want that you get every ounce of it via workshops, community day, leadership development and live chats.
3. Daily Touch Points. We have a live group chat that is keeping things rolling so that when you need support, it's there.
4. History: We've been running this program for over five years now. While most group programs have a season and then fizzle, we just keep going and developing.

By the way if you didn't know I'm doing something I've never done before.
​
If you're curious and want to sign up for our cohort (details below) I'm adding in 3x bonuses.
