Welcome back to the CLS experience. I'm your host, Craig Siegel. This is a bite-sized bonus transmission, short, sharp, potent, and designed to shift your perspective fast. Let's dive in.

Your nervous system prefers familiar pain over unfamiliar possibility.

I know someone. I won't mention name. This person doesn't really like their job. They're not really connected to it.

And yet, they haven't as of yet taken that leap to consider something bigger, greater,

more connected, more aligned.

Why?

Because their familiar pain is preferred by their nervous system than the unfamiliar possibility right now. Can that change? Absolutely. If somebody's willing to do the work. Success invites responsibility.

And expansion threatens belonging.

And so when we look at the traits that we've acquired or patterns we've rehearsed, we think of this idea of self-sabotage, it isn't failure.

It's protection.

You don't have to agree with it.

And I imagine after right now, you probably don't.

But it's just trying to protect you.

What am I getting at? Your ego isn't trying to ruin your life. It's trying to keep you safe

in a life that you've outgrown. Why is this so special?

Because you're now able to see things in a different way.

And now we can remove the judgment or the personal attack that it might have felt like in the past.

The nervous system genuinely thinks it's trying to protect you.

Thank you so much for all these years of trying to protect me.

For this next season, let's do a quick body check.

Not like the hockey body check.

Put a check in with our body.
