YOUR BODY IS THE SYMPTOM, NOT THE PROBLEM

Over the last week, I’ve had three inboxes from different people saying ‘man, congratulations, you’re doing so well…and I need help.’⁣

In the most raw, lonely, low points in our day, it’s as if the truth shows its real face. ⁣

It’s when a man allows himself to feel vulnerable, for just a second, that he sees a glimpse of what his life COULD be like, if he had the courage to go after it. ⁣

But why is it that we’re so reluctant to take the first step?⁣

Why is it that when we let ourselves get ‘busy’ again with work, family or other tasks, we so easily go back into the comfort zone? ⁣

It’s called the ‘comfort zone’ but it’s far from comfortable. ⁣

It’s a state which we call ‘normal’, but which is filled with discontent, boredom, unease and resistance to the present moment. ⁣

That constant feeling of ‘is this all there is? This is not making me happy’⁣

It’s like the hum of an air-conditioner that we’ve become so used to, because it’s there all the time…⁣

Most of us use alcohol, drugs, work, family or food to distract us from the reality. ⁣

And this causes the rapid deterioration of our bodies.⁣

The ‘treatment’ that we’re using (alcohol, food, et al) to ‘fix’ the problem gives rise to your ‘symptoms’. ⁣

Weight gain, tiredness, snapping at others, stress and then eventually, diabetes, heart disease, gout, arthritis… these are just symptoms. ⁣

They are not the ACTUAL problem. ⁣

The problem stems from the fact that you have lost yourself. ⁣

What it means to be YOU man!⁣

What makes you happy, what makes you feel loved.⁣

Here we’re getting to the root cause, not pissing around with surface level crap. ⁣

How do I know this? ⁣

Because I’ve been there. ⁣

Keeping myself as distracted as possible so I never had to face the reality of my life situation. ⁣

It changed when I created leverage. This is a KEY word!⁣

I spent money on a coach to get help; I invested in books and courses. ⁣

Because what I realised was that I needed to raise the stakes so that I was invested. ⁣

So that I had something to lose. ⁣

Is it perfect now? No way!⁣

But it’s a million times better than being the victim and acting like you don’t have a choice when indeed you do. ⁣

It’s this reason that the majority of my personal coaching clients come to me when they’re near ready to give up. ⁣

Because I’ll not only help them treat the symptoms, but we’ll deal with the root cause. ⁣

And you will get results. ⁣

Reach out if you want this…⁣

Let’s get creating a plan for you!⁣
