Faith Fueled, Creator Led.The 4th C in the 9-C Life: Courage:Your Superpower for Change

Courage isn’t about being fearless—it’s about taking action even when fear is present. And guess what? You already have courage inside you! It's Monday and you're reading this. Good job. Every time you choose to try again, learn something new, or step into the unknown, you’re proving just how brave you are.

At CMH Coaching, we talk a lot about growth, and growth requires courage. It takes courage to believe in yourself, to challenge old thoughts, and to step into the person you were meant to be. Science backs this up—your brain is constantly forming new neuralpathways, which means you change! You get to choose how. You can move forward, one small step at a time.Image item

The "Brave Breath" practice: a powerful way to strengthen courage.

Find a quiet space and sit comfortably.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, slowly counting to four. Imagine breathing in strength.

Hold the breath for four seconds and silently say, I am strong. I am capable

.Exhale slowly for six seconds, releasing doubt, fear, and hesitation.

Repeat for 2-3 minutes, letting each breath fill you with calm confidence.

This practice rewires your brain by calming your fear response and strengthening your courage beliefs.

Do it daily!

It was a wild week, wasn't it? I, for one, am ready for a fresh start. The question is, what do I want this week to look like? I can choose any one of the '9 C’s’—curious, calm, compassionate, clear, creative, courageous, confident, or choice. They are all qualities that ground and center me.

I especially love the idea of curiosity, though, and it creates the week I yearn for.

For me, curiosity cures a multitude of evils.

When I judge my neighbor, I can instead choose curiosity about what kind of day they’ve had and feel more compassionate towards them. When I judge myself, I can alleviate self-pity or discouragement by wondering what part of me was protecting or defending myself that I chose the regretful actions I just carried out. I can get curious about what’s going on inside. When I’m having a day where everyone just plain seems stupid (it’s not about ya’ll at all, it’s all about me) I can entertain myself out of that bad mood with curiosity. Telling funny stories is one of my favorite pastimes.

The bottom line is that curiosity is my 1st line of defense against judgment, and judging others never brings me happiness.

There are many other benefits of curiosity. Willingly opening your mind to put your own opinion in the background while exploring another’s perspective can help you feel less stressed and anxious and even foster a sense of compassion or understanding. That’ll bring your blood pressure down.

Physically, curiosity keeps your brain active and reduces cognitive decline as we age. Remarkably, there is a correlation between being curious and feeling more positive. (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15327752jpa8203_05). Seth Godin(https://www.wholegraindigital.com/blog/curiosity-is-the-key-to-solving-problems/ )even says it’s the key to solving problems. He suggests trying to see more gray than black and white by engaging your curiosity skills.

Curiosity brings growth.

Curiosity brings delight.

Curiosity can bring forgiveness.

There’s a reason curiosity is part of a centered self.

So this week, if you find yourself feeling extra judgy or off-center, pause, breathe, and choose curiosity instead. See where it takes you—it might just surprise you.

You’ll see the difference.

All my love,

Beth
