Ep. 127. Every day, we face choices — some small and forgettable, others powerful enough to change our health, our relationships, our careers, and sometimes even our lives. We all want to make the right decisions… the ones that keep us safe, grounded, and aligned with who we want to be.

And yet, during stress — especially sudden stress — our thinking brain often shuts down. We try to reason, analyze, and “stay calm,” but the brain’s survival system takes over. The lower brain reacts faster than logic can think. This is where we see fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or shutdown responses take the wheel.

This isn’t failure.
It’s biology.

The good news is that your body already contains built-in self-regulation programs — evolutionary survival skills passed down by our ancestors. And even better, we can train these self-regulation skills so they become automatic. With practice and repetition, these responses become quick, natural, and dependable — even in high-pressure moments.

When we learn to regulate our nervous system, we make clearer decisions, we stay present instead of overwhelmed, and we build habits that create real confidence — not just the appearance of it.

This is what allows us to live intentionally, move with purpose, and choose who we are becoming.

Take care — and walk well.

Ep. 126 The subconscious mind. It’s mysterious, dark, powerful – yet largely hidden beneath the surface. In psychodynamic therapy, the goal was to make the unconscious conscious. Think of the classic iceberg metaphor: the visible tip above water is the conscious mind, while the vast bulk beneath the surface is the subconscious. That hidden iceberg under deep, dark waters hints at enormous power.
But here’s the truth: the subconscious mind isn’t only ominous—it’s a game-changer. It can elevate your performance in any skill. It can shift how your body responds—not unlike the visceral reaction you feel when you look over the edge of a tall building. That physical, electric “something happening” effect shows just how real the subconscious is.
And even more: we can speak directly to that hidden part of the mind. Through suggestion framed in the immediate moment rather than the distant future, we can trigger measurable improvement—whether it’s skill mastery or body healing. In other words: when you engage the subconscious right now, you activate what you thought was hidden—and watch transformation happen.

Why this matters:

• Because 95% of our mental processes live below the surface—and that’s where true change gets made.

• Because when you tap into that powerful under-water iceberg of your mind, you don’t just think differently—you respond differently, physically and mentally.
• Because framing suggestions in the “now” triggers direct subconscious shifts, bypassing resistance and giving you real results.
  If you’re ready to explore how the subconscious mind can help you perform better, heal faster, or unlock a new level of being—this is your entry point. Take care and walk well.
