Hello friends, I got this really good question on YouTube this week, and I thought I'd share it with you:  Is an external load needed for health, strength, and awesomeness as you age? Is performing…

And now, a Guest Post By Shane McLean  

Summary:

The world you live in is currently ruled by fear.

If you do something, you create opportunity. If you do nothing, you create opportunity.

Doing nothing or doing the same thing only hastens and compounds the results of what you’ve already been doing!

People often prefer new and shiny things. I think we are designed to do this. After all, new is exciting. But we also crave old things like memories, tastes, smells, and feelings. Older things can bring comfort in a world where new seems always to fade. 

Original Strength is a company that teaches the oldest strength-building routine in the world, which is personalized to each individual's body. This original, old routine involves using the vestibular and nervous systems designed and built specifically for our bodies. 

Living in our design, we naturally developed strength as babies by controlling our heads, rolling over, crawling, and walking. However, as we grew up, we “moved” away from our design and became sitters, stressors, and worriers, causing our bodies to adapt to these changes. 

We can shift the direction of change through Original Strength's Movement Restoration System, which aims to help people regain some of the strength and movement they had as children. With Pressing RESET, we can even help people renew their bodies by recovering quicker and potentially eliminating the need for medications and surgeries.

It's that time of the year, but why isn't any time of the year good for a change?

It’s also not necessarily easy because we usually try to take a grand, sweeping approach to change rather than making small tweaks or strokes.

Whenever we recognize that change is needed, we need to know how to approach the issue's literal “root” of the issue, our nervous system.

In the end, if we want to succeed at creating lasting change in January or any time we recognize that change is needed, we need to know how to approach the literal “root” of the issue, our nervous system. 

If you’re an over-consumer of food, Facebook, Tic-Tok, porn, gossip, or sunsets, you’ve wired that inside yourself. 

If you move well, you feel well. If you feel well, you think well. If you think well and feel well, making good and helpful decisions that open desired paths for your life is easier. If you move well, feel well, and think well, you will likely not worry, be stressed, eat stressed, be angry, wage war against social media, or whatever else it is you want to change about your life.

Just keep showing up as often as possible until showing up is something you do because showing up is who you are.

Hello My Friends, It’s been an amazing week this past week. I got to see some old friends, and I had a chance to teach beside a great friend of mine named Dan John. I don’t know about you, but…
