Insight and Reframing can help in the short term, embodied Insight,
and biological reframing help you continue creating the life you truly want, ongoing.
Where there is nothing wrong with having the nice things in life, being successful.
It’s where the drive for them and success comes from.
That’s the important part.
There is an increasing number of high achievers who are starting to ask questions.
Why, if I have so much, do I feel empty inside?
Who am I outside of what I do?
Why does achieving more make me feel worse?
I’ve been discussing these topics for a decade, more…
In most cases, the chase was more important than the goal…
…almost everything was a competition…
And I played the game with highly competitive people throughout my life.
When we started our business, within months I’d already worked out the dynamics…
…how the manipulation and fight for control
had already started… and I was up for it.
The business had become a huge part of my surface-level identity, almost immediately.
What I didn’t understand is why I refused to leave, be pushed around,
or forced out of the business, on a deeper level, not just cognitive.
Then there were the many mechanisms I had to return to balance… or feel like I was…
alcohol, driving fast cars – fast, clothes, travelling, competition itself, and ironically,
being a partner in a successful 7-figure business, which was destroying my life.
It’s how I disintegrated over time within my personality… stress, frustration, insomnia.
This is where your perception of the environment, and the environment itself,
is crucial, something that’s too often missed.
The issue with surface-level approaches, you change the way you look at your current situation,
make a decision…
…then take your deepest feelings about yourself and how you believe life works with you into the next one… rinse and repeat.
The reason surface-level approaches don’t hold is biological.
Insight and reframing occur in the prefrontal cortex – the thinking brain.
But identity, the deep sense of who you are and how safe the world is, lives in the body and the mind.
It’s in your nervous system, preverbal memories that were formed before language existed.
You cannot think your way into a new identity because the old one isn’t stored in your thoughts alone;
it’s stored in your tissue, your posture, your autonomic responses.
Embodiment isn’t a concept. It’s the only route.
This is why sovereign identity change, the way I approached it 12 years ago, is the game-changer.
Who must I become to live life on my terms, consciously, with awareness?
