You’re stronger than you think.
Imagine if there were so much more inside of you.
A deeper capacity that speaks to you and says:
“This is hard, but I can handle it.”
The Navy Seals have what they call the 40 percent rule. It says that when we tell ourselves we are done, we are actually only 40 percent done. We have 60 percent left in the tank.
No way, right? Those guys aren’t like me, or, more importantly, I’m not like them.
Are you tapped into your own inner strength?
Well, actually, you are. And you’ve got another 60 percent to access.
No matter who you are, no matter what you are going through, you’ve got more. A lot more.
You see, your brain has one thing in mind for you – survival. It tells you you’re done much sooner than you actually are to conserve resources and keep you alive.
This design was mostly for a more primitive existence when resources were scarce.
Modern culture brings with it a lot more stressors. Work, kids, bills, and especially the constant pressure to be more, do more, and have more. Social pressure is saying do it all, have it all, and your brain is saying,“Stop!”
How resilient are you?
The hidden strength that Navy Seals have uncovered is resilience.
Resilience is grit, the capacity, and the confidence to Not. Give. Up.
Men are designed to thrive under stress. As we are exposed to stress, our thoughts dictate our response. Negative thoughts cause us to respond like the cow and produce behaviors that reinforce those thoughts that become beliefs. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy uncovers and reframes those thoughts so we are able to run at the storm.
Therapy for Results-Oriented Professionals
Therapy for men is simply different.
Yes, we benefit from talking and living in an increased awareness of how things affect us. Why I say stupid shit to my wife or blow up on my kids. Or just waste so much time by all the distractions we live with.
But the male identity is derived from competent action. Doing things and doing them well.
Learning how…
Having a hard conversation with my partner… well.
Talking to the woman that terrifies me… well.
Influencing my children… well.
Planning the rest of my life… well.
Ask yourself, “How much is a changed life worth?” Time is something they are not making any more of.
Call now and let’s make the change. Let’s run toward the storm.
