Sometimes, understanding something is exactly what you need. A concept clicks, a penny drops, and something shifts. That has its place, and I’ll never take it away from you. But here’s what I’ve learned, in myself and in years of this work: most of the time, understanding it in your head isn’t enough. You can know, intellectually, that you don’t need to snap. You can understand your triggers perfectly. And then someone uses that tone, and you react anyway, before a single thought arrives. Because reactivity doesn’t live in your thinking mind. It lives in your body, your nervous system, your wiring. So knowing isn’t the same as changing. To actually shift a pattern, you have to understand it in your body. You have to experience it, again and again, until the new response becomes automatic. Until staying grounded isn’t something you remember to do, it’s just what your body does now. That’s what our weekly challenges are for. Not more information. Practice. Small, repeated, felt experiences that teach your nervous system a new way of being, from the inside. We start tomorrow, Sunday. I’ll bring you the very first one. Come as you are, Explorers. This is where it gets real. 🤍

Explorers, I would like this to serve you, and right now you have the possibility to tell me when would be the most suitable day/time for a call... Can you make it next Friday? (Check your Calendar tab, it should show the time in your timezone. July 10th, 5pm Central European Time). I initially set it to 30 mins, but happy to do an hour if several of us attend... Guide me :)

My wins for the week may not be all somatic. It is actually setting up this group, having Chris as my first official member 🥳 and spending all day today learning about meta ads, then creating a few and now Jonny just signed up. 🙏 @Christoper here is the ad video below, where I also mention you :) If you guys are curious about my somatic/non-reactivity related wins for the week: well the cross fit training we did on Tuesday was an absolute killer, being on my red week as a woman I felt how I was so much weaker, could not lift the usual weights, but my gym buddy kept pushing me (she is 15 yrs younger and more trained and a badass)...I finally completed the whole training program, had to stop a few times to make sure I was not gonna throw up. When my heart rate is that high up, it is so difficult to stay aware of anything other than pure survival, and fighting my own mental battles...I wish I started any form of trainings 20 yrs earlier...it would have cured my depression sooner, it would have brought me confidence and it could have taught me earlier how to stay in discomfort... Also, I got my first own (soft) kettlebell from Decathlon today and have done a few exercises texting this giant to see how it can lead me down the path of discomfort...
