Description
In this Frankly, Nate offers a personal reflection on his learnings about 'awareness' vs 'focus' and how this knowledge could be used as a guide toward more thoughtful behaviors. The human body's system has evolved through time and the layers were built sequentially, each interacting and reacting to the systems below it. By becoming aware of this and attempting to balance them from the bottom up, we could move away from the reactionary tendencies that many in our culture are now pulled towards. How does an overstimulating, dopamine driven modern environment affect our brains ability to cope? How do our behaviors change when our systems are in a constant state of fear or dissatisfaction? What would the world look like if we spent more time reflecting and realigning rather than in perpetual fight, flight, or freeze mode?

| 0:09.5 | retreat and what my coach refers to as a limbic reset. And for the next 20 minutes or so, |
| 0:19.0 | I'm going to explain how I've arrived at this point. |

| 0:26.6 | I am not a guru, and I will never be anyone's guru. |
| 0:32.4 | I am an explainer of the great simplification, I'm also a participant so a lot of the |
| 0:40.7 | things dealing with somatic brain behavior I'm learning and experiencing just the |
| 0:47.6 | same as all of you are so I have had the privilege to have numerous coaches in my life and I cycle through them. |
| 0:58.0 | I think coaches and therapists are like lifting weights or working out. |

| 1:06.0 | Earlier this year I met an amazing man who I'm going to keep confidential for now, |
| 1:13.6 | though I'm hoping he and some of his acolytes and young students will come on a roundtable in 2024. |
| 1:21.6 | This is the first coach I've ever met that every single thing he said hit me at a core level that I knew |
| 1:32.5 | it to be true and everything I threw at him he had answers for. When I met him in San Diego |
| 1:41.0 | in February, I felt amazing after three days of just being in his presence. |
| 1:48.0 | We cooked together, we sang together, we told stories, we went on hikes, and I just felt like |
| 1:55.0 | normal and refreshed. And he told me then that the goal was to get me and other people working on the |
