When you’ve decided you want more…
… it’s Imperative You don’t have a
Cognitive or Spiritual Bypass
as You Create the Life You Want.
Techniques are Tools… Nothing More.
You’re a HIGH ACHIEVER
You understand using your intelligence to override
your feelings, emotions, and biology.
This is cognitive bypass.
The prefrontal cortex – the conductor of your brain, the seat of your intelligence,
suppressing signals from the body by dominating it.
Overriding the nervous system’s communication.
Short term, it works. You perform – achieve – push through.
One foot accelerating your system, the other braking – overdrive.
Long term, the body keeps the score, something that there now seems
to be much debate about; I understand it from lived experience.
The suppressed signals don’t disappear – they accumulate.
Stress hormones, chronic activation,
a system running in overdrive until it can’t anymore.
At forty, mine couldn’t any longer, collapsing on all the levels I discuss.
You’ve watched spirituality content
on YouTube and Read The Books.
Be Present, in the NOW, Be Grateful.
Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life.
Everything Happens For a Reason.
Where these teachings aren’t incorrect,
in my experience, they are SURFACE LEVEL.
Thankfully… I understood this in 2014
not long after leaving the ICU.
If I’d listened to the MINDSET Coaches
and the Spiritual Gurus at that time,
I’m sure I wouldn’t be writing this post.
Hypnosis – Suggestion
Blindly Reframing Experiences, and Quick Fixes
along with statements like – it’s all in your mind,
would have been potentially catastrophic;
They wouldn’t have produced the tangible results
and sustainable change I needed.
Somehow, I understood…
THE ONLY WAY to CHANGE YOUR LIFE IS…
… TO CHANGE ON THE LEVEL of IDENTITY.
Which you don’t find in a book or a generic course,
this is personal, who must you become?
I decided I was going to become a version of myself who wasn’t chronically stressed,
suffering with high achievers’ anxiety…
…frustration, contained anger issues, insomnia,
and a need for coping mechanisms of any kind, to help him change state.
In 2016, on a 
trip from Barcelona to Monaco, we sat on this beach in St Tropez
eating dinner at a beach club, discussing the positives of the near-death experience I’d had.
My friend said – imagine the impact you can have on the lives of people and their children…
…he was talking about alcohol.
I was talking about the nervous system, mindset (mind), emotional, physical, and spiritual growth…
…lifestyle, and 
of life…
…understanding my relationship with alcohol and many other things was a reflection of my inner state… not simply my mindset.
It would be impossible for me to promote
controlling, forcing, hustling, and grinding,
pushing through your emotions,
as a means of gaining the SUCCESS you want.
True success comes from balance, calmness, and peace, aliveness, health, and wellbeing…
…from here you find purpose and fulfilment.
This is living life on your terms,
without losing Your Edge…
