Train the Muscle Neck Up
When we're afraid of a task, an action, or even a person—we're not really afraid of them.
We're afraid of what they represent:
Failure. Rejection. Inadequacy. Being seen. Being judged.
But here’s the truth I’m learning to hold onto:
You can feel all the feelings— the self-doubt, the fear, the hesitation—
and still get the work done.
You don’t have to fight the feelings. You just have to move with them.
Because once you start, everything quiets down.
The overthinking, the overwhelm, the what-ifs—they fade.
And in their place, emerges flow.
A calm. A rhythm. A sense of, “Oh, I can do this.”
So I’m training the muscle neck up.
I’m choosing to show up scared, but still show up.
Because I don’t need to be fearless to begin—
I just need to begin. 0 reply

The bridge between you and the world is your internal chatter.
It shapes how you experience reality, coloring every interaction with the hues of thought. Life, in itself, is largely black and white—events occur, people act, outcomes unfold. But the grey emerges in our minds—crafted by perceptions, emotions, memories, and biases.
To truly elevate the quality of your life, you don’t need to change the world—just change the lens through which you see it.
Train your inner voice to be objective. Teach it to observe rather than react, to be present rather than live in the shadows of the past.
See things as they are, not as your story makes them out to be.
Freedom begins in the mind. And peace comes from clarity. 0 reply
