Scaring your soul to GROW! Are you ready? #scareyoursoul

I am. Because of everything I've experienced. Not despite them.

I am scared. I am scarred. I have been hurt by those who I've loved, who I've trusted, who I've put my 'faith' in. I've been broken - shattered - time and again, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

And this is why I'm completely behind the #scareyoursoul movement.

I've lived my professional career studying the brain, chronic pain, post-traumatic periods in peoples' lives, and how the mind-body connection completely underlies our health and wellbeing. I've spoken with thousands of people in just about every setting you could imagine and one thing is universal:

It is not a matter of if trauma is going to happen in our lives, but when

The main question to me is why don't we TRAIN for the inevitable? Why don't we prepare our minds and bodies - which are actually one entity called the mindbody because they are absolutely inseparable - to be better prepared? We know something is going to happen but we can't guess when, the magnitude, how long it'll last, etc.

But we know something will happen. If not to us, to someone else we love - and we know this is just as damaging to us as if it happens to us...

So we can sit back and wait...

OR we can do something to get ourselves ready. As, or even more, importantly we need to get ourselves ready so that we can help others - during their own turbulent times as well as during OURS.

Enter in what I call prophylactic mental and physical resiliency training. Brought to you today, tomorrow and Sunday (October 27th-30th) by our team at the Scare Your Soul Challenge.

Full details on how to join is on the website and it absolutely 100% easy: commit to something, anything you choose, that will help you develop yourself in SOME way. Spiritually, physically, intellectually, relationally or emotionally. However you think your life can be changed - commit. Then act.

Remember that however YOU decide to scare your soul, be it in the most subtle way to the rest of the world or the most gregarious, this is for you... yet, the world needs you to.
