You’re capable. You’re not broken. But when thinking harder and working longer keeps leading you into the same wall, instead of more of the same, try changing your state instead. What's that? How's that?
Well, in this episode, Justin shares three practical ways to shift your physical, emotional, and mental state: movement, breathwork, and affirmations (or, as he prefers to call them, better-quality thoughts). He also guides you through a short breathing practice you can use almost anywhere to feel calmer, clearer, more connected, and back in command.
You’ll also hear a little behind the scenes from Justin’s recent retreat at Mount Shasta, where he taught his LEAP practice to a spiritually minded group and was reminded that knowing something is not the same as having a tool you can actually use in the moment.
You'll learn
Why changing your state can work when more thinking does not
How movement helps you get out of your head and into your body
Why breathwork can shift your emotional state quickly, and why intensity is not always better
A simple four-part breathing reset you can try during the episode
How to replace unhelpful mental loops with better-quality thoughts
How LEAP combines physical, mental, emotional, and energetic change in four minutes
What's your favorite way to change your state: movement, breathwork, or better thoughts?
