Rewire / Phase 3

The 3rd phase on the path towards living unbound is all about uncovering truth and questioning everything.  

Our brains have well worn neural pathways where limiting thoughts and beliefs flow naturally. The result is paralyzing doubts, irrational fears and an inability to take action. We start to reclaim control by observing these cognitive traps without judgment from a birds eye view. This awareness can feel like turning on the lights to a messy room. We create order by running every non-serving thought through a lie detector test. 

We ask ourselves these three questions » Is it true? How am I affected when I believe it’s true and who would I be without it? What empowering thought can I replace it with? 

This is the process of neuroplasticity – reshaping pathways in our brain by whacking our way through the tough terrain so that the next time we pass through, it’ll be a little easier. With every repetition, we reinforce the new path until it becomes automatic. The result is a state of mind that transcends the deceptive stories of our thinking.

Check out the 2nd phase if you missed it last week. I just came across this song by Birdtalker and think the chorus really embodies what I mean by RELEASE & EXPLORE. I’m thinking of doing a longer more elaborate video using this song. What do you think? 

Thanks for reading, watching, sharing and being awesome :)

Escape Mediocrity / Phase 1

For the past 10 years I’ve strived to break free of many different types of resistance and self-imposed limitations. At times I’ve succeeded - I’ve spoken at TEDx, I’ve worked on emmy award winning TV shows and I did the most overwhelming, fear facing thing imaginable to myself – pour my heart out and share personal struggles through Live Unbound. 

Whether it’s from my own experience, studying high achievers, dozens of books, events or retreats, I’ve learned so much about this process. I’ve condensed it down to 7 phases which guide the path of finding, navigating and accomplishing worthy pursuits. 

The phases are on the left column and I included the dominant habit, priority, emotion and outcome of each phase. Of course it’s different for everyone, this was based off of my own experience. 

Try to identify where you are, where you have been and where you want to go.

The first phase is about escaping the limited perspective that mediocrity fosters.

Mediocrity is the result of rejecting the calling to become what we believe we have the potential to be. Striving to fit into a mold as opposed to breaking it. Abiding by it’s walls made of doubts, fears and insecurities – held together by a need to protect ourselves from having to feel these emotions.

This is a time to rise above the walls to a vantage point which reveals the mountains we were meant to climb. To get a glimpse of a future that lies beyond resistance. A place with endless possibilities, true freedom and absolute fulfillment.

Life is ours to design and it’s our one and only. Those that respect this truth by clawing towards their carefully chosen peaks are rewarded with something far greater than comfort. 

I’m currently developing a course with practical tools on how to achieve this. If you’re interested in getting it for free in exchange for a testimonial then contact me. 

I’m posting daily on instagram, facebook and if you missed last weeks video you can watch it here. Thanks for reading!
