Becoming Fearless
45. Balancing Mind And Intuition For Success
What if the key to unlocking your highest potential lies in overcoming internal resistance?
In this solo episode of Becoming Fearless, I tackle the common yet often overlooked struggle high achievers face: the battle within. I dive into the concept of intrinsic momentum and how it affects your progress in crucial areas such as health, relationships, mindset, and business. Using health as a focal point, I reveal the transformative benefits of enhancing your well-being, from increased clarity and energy to an overall sense of vitality. We get to the root of hesitation, highlighting the importance of building and maintaining habits that lead to a life brimming with abundance, clarity, and fulfillment.
Ever wondered how to balance your intellectual mind with intuitive energy for peak performance? This episode unravels the intricate dance between satisfying the mind's need for endless knowledge and harnessing intuition to drive action. By addressing the reasons behind our resistance to certain actions, I help you activate behaviors that promote better health, reduced stress, and emotional balance. As we explore transitioning from intellectual reasoning to intuitive knowing, you'll find the keys to sustainable, healthy habits and uncovering your untapped potential.

Speaker 2:Hello and welcome, welcome. Welcome to another episode of Becoming Fearless. This is a solo episode and I am really excited to bring it to your ears. I have been navigating this particular topic for a while. It has been something that I help my clients with and it's definitely something that is predominantly found in a lot of high performers. It's all about doing the thing. It's all about doing the thing whatever the thing is, and how your head can prevent you from doing the thing, even though there's a massive part of you that knows that doing the thing, whatever the thing is, is going to be absolutely sensational for you. So let's dive in.
Speaker 2:If you are listening and you are a high achiever, you are a high performer. You've basically got big goals, intentions, promises to yourself that you'd like to live a truly fulfilling live, a truly fulfilling, fruitful life, and, for whatever reason, you are putting your foot on the brake of this possibility being your reality. You're halting yourself, you're pausing yourself, you're sitting in the stagnation, whatever it is, whatever resonates with you. You're basically not moving forward in the way that you would love to. There is like a momentum mismatch Now in terms of high performance. What I teach is the momentum that you gather is your intrinsic momentum. Sometimes it's really speedy, sometimes it's very, very floaty, sometimes it's like the roller coaster with the thrills, sometimes it's like the lazy river, where time is endless and you find your rhythm and you weave between these two parts. And when we are focusing on something that we really want to achieve, we tick, we fulfill, we ignite the inner achiever or the inner learner in ourselves. And as high performers, high achievers, this bit is like inbuilt, like yeah, I really want to achieve that. It's going to make me feel really good. I know, and I really stand by, how epic I'm going to feel when I've done it and I can sense intellectually that that all makes sense.
Speaker 2:So if you just tune in for a minute for yourself, what are the things that you are wholeheartedly holding back on, not doing? Is it to do with your health? Is it to do with relationships? Is it to do with boundaries? Is it to do with your mindset, your belief? Is it to do with your business, your wealth, your success? Is it to do with your happiness, whatever it is in life, in the whole circle of life, whatever this might be for you? Just focus on one, just while you're listening to this episode, one area of your life that you would love to create that momentum and stick to it and do the thing or the things that are going to help you create, build and sustain habits for success. So one of the easiest for this, as an example, to guide you through, is possibly the area of health.
Speaker 2:Are fully aware, if not trained in and um skilled in the awareness that being healthy is like brilliant, it's like your go-to, it's the place that you would really desire being the healthiest version of yourself. You know you get more clarity, you get more done, you feel lighter, you feel happier, there's more opportunities come in, you're more magnetic to your desires and you feel your cells are alive this whole feeling of aliveness when you feel healthy for certain. So we know that, a lot of us know that. And if you don't know that, I think it's easy for many people to get on board with that. You're like, yeah, okay, I've had a bit more sleep, but yeah, okay if I didn't eat so much of the processed foods. And yeah, if I didn't drink as much or if I drank more water or if I hydrate myself some electrolytes or whatever it may be.
Speaker 2:Most people can buy into the idea that actually they would feel good, they would feel better, they would feel healthier, their energy would feel more vibrant, they would have more vitality. That block this as a trajectory of success. That block this as something that they are going to do at a different time in their life. They're going to do it when it's not the summer holidays or when they've got something done in their business, they're going to focus on themselves, or when they've worked through some of their healing and they're going to do some of this other health stuff and so doing the thing whether it is looking at what you're eating, looking at how you're moving your body and looking at all of the pillars of health in terms of positive psychology, in terms of nutrition, movement, rest and restoration and sleep, whatever one of them is it's important to really understand why you're not doing that. Why, even though you know intellectually that it's going to help you, that you're going to feel better, that you're going to get clearer, that you're going to have less stress, less anxiety, all of these wonderful things that you would love if somebody put them on a plate, you'd be like, yes, I'll have them all, please, and I will continue to have them all, because I would love them all in abundance. A life of abundance, a life of clarity, a life of love, fulfillment, joy, bliss, pleasure, all of those things.
Speaker 2:And yet something like this internal resistance takes hold. It takes hold of your head, takes hold of your body, and you can't get yourself out the door to do the thing. Yet you know, when you've done it, it well say, if it's a runoff, something like that. You come back and you're like, oh my god, that was brilliant. Yeah, I felt really odd when I was doing it, but actually I feel great afterwards.
Speaker 2:Whatever it is, you know, there's no doubt in your mind that once you've done it, whatever it is, you're gonna feel better. So this is when we have to satisfy the intellectual mind. For certain, as high performance and high achiever, we want that detail, we want to understand the reasoning behind it and we have to hone the intuitive being. So this is how we do this, and this is really important, really important. The intellectual mind has to receive enough information to be satisfied.
Speaker 2:Some high performers stay in this space. They keep learning, learning, yeah, but I want to know more and more and more about myself, and they have a feeling that the more knowledge that they generate for themselves. They're going to somehow get to an answer where they're just going to suddenly do the thing because they have understood more about themselves. It doesn't work like that. It's finding your particular, personal, bespoke sweet spots where you're like yeah, okay, I get it, I get why I haven't done it. Um, and I get it. And that is enough information for me. And now I am going to switch energetically and tune into the feelings of why.
Speaker 2:So, intellectually, I can explain to you. You know that actually, when you focus on your health, you are going to reduce stress, reduce anxiety, you are going to sleep better, you're going to have a greater balance of your emotions, greater control of your emotions, you're going to be able to navigate life easier, things are going to feel lighter, you're going to feel more hopeful and opportunities are going to come to you. I can say all of that and you can buy into whatever you choose on that and you can go and research, you can go deeper into all of that In terms of positive psychology. All of that is proven. When you get to a place and, as you're listening, just tune in. If you're like, yeah, okay, I know that, then you're at that place.
Speaker 2:The intellect doesn't need any more information at all. It's already got enough. Okay, this is hard for a high performer to hear. This is hard for a high achiever to hear, because they're like, yeah, just give me more. That's my pattern, that's how I learn. I need to just fill my brain a bit more because the next bit is the transition and unlocking of the internal feelings and the energy around your intuition and your gut knowing and it's like well, I just know it's going to be good, so I'm just going to get myself out there now.
Speaker 2:So actually I'm going to move through the feelings of resistance. I'm like I'm going to do everything but getting out the door and I'm going to move through. Actually, why am I annoyed with myself for resisting? Why haven't I done it? How come it's dinner time again and I've got to make dinner, then it'll be too hot later, then I've still got to take the dog out, etc. Etc. You're bouncing around in the intellect. When we park the intellect and tune into the feelings, like switching it from. Why haven't I? Why am I resisting to? What do I need to do to get out the door? Do I need to tell somebody? Do I need to just go and put my trainers on. Do I need to have a word with myself? Do I need to set myself a time that I'm definitely going to go? What are the things that I need to do to be able to get myself out the door?
Speaker 2:You switch your energy and you switch your focus to action Action Actually activating you. What gets you into activation? Which is getting your trainers on and going? I did this yesterday. I do this a lot. I don't automatically roll up in activation mode, you know. I just want to remind you all. I don't automatically roll up and I'm like, hey, do you know what? I am activated and this is all feeling on fire.
Speaker 2:I'm like, oh, I'm seriously not activated, but I know and I am a leader and I know that I'm in my head too much and well, as soon as I talk about that, it's why the ice baths are both so for people, why the shakhti mats are so powerful for people. It's why the high-performance hacks that I talk about are so powerful for people, because they get themselves into that mind-body state and you get tuned into your body and like, oh, my goodness, I've got to do it now. I've got to do it now because this has ignited and activated the body to move, to do whatever it it is. This is exciting stuff for high performance. I'm excited to talk more and more about this.
Speaker 2:This is something that is something that I'm leading with. I always have in terms of mind and body. But what I'm talking now and I really want you to tune in and listen how to get yourself to do the thing is to satisfy your inner achiever and your intellectual mind, so that you know why it's beneficial to do the thing, why it's going to serve you, how it's going to serve other people, how it's going to elevate your life, how it's going to allow you to feel better, lighter, happier, more fulfilled, more living in the state of bliss, etc. And how to move and transition yourself into the intuitive being, where it's a knowing, where you activate the behavior. Well, I just know that. So I'm just going to go and get my trainers on and I'm just going to get out the door.
Speaker 2:And here I am and I've done it. It's brilliant. This is the key to building not only sustainable, healthy habits, but unlocking your potential Like never before. It's the potential for momentum. It's the potential for ease, flow, bliss, happiness, joy, whatever it is. It's the potential for consistency and persistency in a different way. For people, those words are big trigger words. That's why I want to change perspective for people. Consistency, persistency if they're for you, totally hold on to them and anchor them in. If you are the person where they're like oh my God, I definitely don't want to do any of them. They just remind me of school or remind me of being pulled off. I'm a rebel. I don't want to do any of them.
Speaker 2:Think about harnessing your momentum and your activation, harnessing the power of your intuition and your knowing so that you intrinsically just do the thing. This is off the scale, powerful and potent and magical. When you allow yourself the surrender to go there, because it's high performers and high achievers. There's an element of control. When we're going into intuition and we're building that muscle and we're going into that inner knowing and we're in that space of do you know what? I've got this? I'm going to activate it. I'm just going to do it. Now, here I am doing it. This is powerful, it's potent, it works on multiple levels, but for today's episode, I just want you to focus on doing the thing that you know is going to make a difference in your life.
Speaker 2:So choose now one thing that you know you would to make a difference in your life. So choose now one thing that you know you would love to do. Maybe it's going to drink a pint of water. Maybe it's go out for a walk. Maybe it's get your head down and get something done that's been on your list. Maybe it's go and have a conversation with somebody that you would love to connect with. Maybe it's put an offer out there. Maybe it's about going into meditation. Maybe it's about having a sleep. Maybe it's about trying something new. Whatever it is that you've been putting off, go and do it.
Speaker 2:Activate yourself. Activate the power within. Know that you are exactly where you're meant to be. Your intellect has been ticked, your achiever part has been ticked, and you're going to blow your own mind when you do this. So get yourself into that energy of you. Know what I've got? This. I am activated, I am going to go for it and I am going to navigate the next step and the next step and the next step. Enjoy. Let me know how you get on. Message me on Instagram or LinkedIn the details will be below or email me. I will come back to you because I'd love to know how you moved yourself through, and then I will do further episodes on how you continue that momentum, because it's great if we can do it once, but we've got to be able to sustain it for a sustainable, high performance lifestyle where you blend intellectual knowledge with intuitive living. I'm excited to talk more about this, but for now, go off. You're activated. Go and do the thing, sending you so much love thank you for tuning into this week's episode.
