You know the drill:

You decide that it’s time to eat better, go to the gym, finally write that business plan, or stop binge-scrolling at midnight; you’ve read the articles, understood the logic behind whatever it is that you want, and even feel motivated – at least for the first day or two – and, then…something happens (or, more accurately, something doesn’t happen).

It might look like this:

You avoid the gym; you order a takeaway instead of cooking, or you open up Netflix again instead of writing your plan until you eventually find yourself sitting there, frustrated with yourself and asking:

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴? 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰?

If that sounds familiar, then I want you to know that you’re not broken, lazy, or weak:

What’s actually happening is much deeper than just a lack of willpower because the problem you’re dealing with is almost always rooted in unresolved pain that drives unconscious intentions (which we can define as intentions that actively work against your conscious desires).

In this article, we’ll explore why you keep sabotaging yourself, how to identify the hidden forces behind your behaviour, and practical strategies to finally make the changes you consciously want.

𝙔𝙞𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙜𝙖 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙧 - Tuesday September 16th 2025 @ 19:30 (UK time)

Oh, hi there.

On Tuesday September 16th at 19:30 UK time I'm going to be doing a free yin yoga class online.

This is for anybody who wants to get a taste of realness and to find a regulating sense of dissolution that they can carry off the yoga mat and into the rest of their lives.

There's no agenda other than to DISSOLVE and to get into a calm and regulated space where your mind-body is pointing in the same direction and you feel loose, open, and real.

I'll be doing this every three weeks (unless something goes horribly wrong) and everybody is welcome (I'll be doing yoga at this time anyway and I did my yoga teacher training last year so thought it would be cool to invite others).

The flow we'll do will be accessible to pretty much anybody in terms of its difficulty level and I'll give modifications when needed.

Sign up using the link below and I'll add you to the meeting invite (it's gonna be on Google Meets):

forms.gle/ofuDAqPdqaJcF2i26

After the yoga, we'll also have a bit of time for discussion too if anybody wants to stick around for that.

Stay real out there,

Oli

𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐲

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙒𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨

There comes a point in many people’s lives when they know deep in the very being of their bones that something has to change.

It usually starts as the dawning realisation that they’ve been going through the motions for too long:

Maybe they’re ‘stuck‘ in a job that slowly kills their soul; maybe their relationship is more about playing out learned roles than real connection. Maybe they’ve been performing a version of themselves that’s palatable, polite, and that people even ‘like’ but that’s completely unreal and keeping them lost to the Void.

Whatever it is, something in them starts to stir – a quiet voice, a gut feeling, or an existential panic attack at 3am.

And that something always says the same thing:

𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.

What they’ve found themselves on is a turning point – the threshold between their ‘old’ unreal life and a newer real life that is more aligned with who they really are and what life is. They reach a point where the soul says “Enough is enough” and where they awaken to the idea of making actual changes but then… nothing happens.

In this state, the realisation, ideas, and desires are all there but – despite this pull towards something more real – action never seems to be taken and so nothing seems to change (or, if it does, it ends up being hesitant, half-hearted, or sabotaged).

Why is this?

𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙬𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 (𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 ‘𝙤𝙡𝙙’ 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬).

These consequences may not always be catastrophic ones but they will always be an invitation into some deeper truth:

Emotional consequences. Relational consequences. The kind of consequences that ask us to face our lives honestly.

For most people this verges on the cusp of being terrifying but it doesn’t have to be this way.

𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁: 𝗔 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗱, 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲

Oh, hi there.

So I'm just shamelessly typing this to let you know that my new book is finally out - it's called 'Trust' and it's about developing our 'Trust Muscle' and returning to our nature for REALNESS.

The main theme of the book is that we're all born to be able to trust ourselves and life but because of SHAME we become disconnected from the TRUTH and go hurtling into the VOID.

Once there, we feel all kinds of restless itches that can never be scratched but try anyway by looking for all kinds of substitutes for the truth to take away the TENSION of being unreal. This can lead to anxiety, depression, and addiction and the endless quest to try and fill something that can never be filled because we need to become it.

This book will show you how to start turning back towards reality and away from the Void so that you can find a sense of flow and peace whilst taking REAL ACTION and doing something meaningful with your life.

If you're sick of spiritual bullsh*ttery and wishful thinking, this book will help you to make deep changes in your life at the level of your body (nervous system regulation etc.), mind (managing your thoughts and ego etc.) and beyond (bringing your true nature back out of the SHADOW TERRITORY).

Ultimately, 'Trust' will help you take yourself from a state of fragmentation into deeper wholeness by helping you understand exactly what the 'human condition' really is and what you can 'do' (and not 'do') about it.

Every chapter has a special exercise for implementation called a '𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲' - you can use this in journaling or meditation so that you're not just filling your head with more concepts by reading the book but are actually EXPERIENCING what it talks about.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁:

𝟭: 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗲 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁

𝟮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘁

𝟰: 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

𝟱: 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻 - 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹

-If you want to trust, then you need to return to your true nature (REALNESS); if you've been a way for a while this is going to involve facing some emotional pain but it's worth it in the long run.

𝟲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗴𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

-Going deeper into the Ego, why and how it holds us back, and how we can put it in the back seat instead of being driven by it.

-The opposite of trust is fear and so if we can improve our relationship with unreal fear then we can let go and live our real lives. That's the gist of this chapter (especially in relation to the 'World' vs. REALITY).

𝟴: 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳, 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆

-Learning to embrace DEATH so that we can really learn to forgive ourselves and others so we can let go and get back into real life.

𝟭𝟬: 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁, & 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

-Everything you ever wanted to know about the unconscious mind and how to take control of yours (but were afraid to ask).

-How you can keep TRUSTING even when life is difficult or you're going through stressful storms and tempests. This chapter will help you manage your relationship with stress for good.

𝟭𝟮: 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘃𝘀. 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 - 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗳 ‘𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳’

-Looking at how abundance and scarcity relate to REALNESS vs ego and how you can learn to trust and put yourself back into a state of interdependence.

𝟭𝟯: 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲’𝘀 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 - 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲

-When you let go and trust you can enter a messy and non-linear place where you merge chaos and order but find a pure signal to direct your steps.

𝟭𝟰: 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 – ‘𝗗𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮’ 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵

-Exploring exactly what synchronicities are (and what they're NOT) and how they play a role in our journey into REALNESS.

𝟭𝟱: 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻

-Shows (with evidence) how gratitude is the key to a totally different world...the REAL one.

𝟭𝟲: 𝗘𝗴𝗼, 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄, 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 - 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲

-How you can bring everything together for Awareness, Acceptance, and Action

There's loads more in this book but if you want to go deep and make some lasting changes then it's gonna get you there by giving you a rock solid foundation to build on (hence the fancy image)!

WHY AM I STUCK IN LIFE? (QUIZ): How to Become Unstuck

𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻: 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗘𝗴𝗼, 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲.

If you’ve become ‘stuck’ in life then you’ve lost touch with your own REALNESS. It’s really that simple. The only thing that keeps you from it is a lack of Awareness about who you are, a lack of Acceptance of what makes you whole instead of fragmented, and the capacity to take real ACTION by trusting yourself (doing your best) and trusting life (letting go of the rest).

Going through this pathway will help you to transform your life and become the person you know you can really be when you operate at your ‘best’ (really, your realest).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 ‘𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 ‘𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸’ 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲?’ 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘇

Realness about living in alignment with truth – free from the hesitation, resistance, and self-deception of EGO and outdated identities that no longer serve us but keep us in a state of being shame-driven.

Unfortunately, most people get stuck somewhere along the way and end up living those “lives of quiet desperation” where they never really express what they want to in this life.

This quiz will show you where and how to break free based on where you are at this time in your life:

𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻:

𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 – Because you’re trapped in overthinking and false identities and so it’s time to 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗘𝗴𝗼 and see what’s real.

𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – Because you’re avoiding deeper truths and/or suppressing emotions and hidden ‘parts’ of yourself so you need to 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 and let go of resistance.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Because you feel called to move forward but still find yourself hesitating and so it’s time to take real Action by working to 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 (“Do your best and let go of the rest").

What's REAL is always real but we forget it sometimes.

There's always levels and layers to remove but eventually you just 'get' it and return home.

Love and relationships are two different beasts.

Love is truly UNCONDITIONAL because it's just ACCEPTANCE but relationships always eventually bring all kinds of conditions in the form of EXPECTATIONS.

Some of these expectations are REAL because the relationship can't exist and sustain itself without them (things like being loyal, committed and promising to riding through changes together, etc.).

Others are UNREAL because people expect things of others as a way of AVOIDING THEMSELVES or crossing boundaries that shouldn't and can never be crossed.

In these cases (when somebody has unreal expectations of you because of their own ego 'stuff') there's nothing wrong with disappointing them (it will maybe even do them a favour in the long-term by bringing some REALNESS into the picture).

Stay real out there,

If you chase it, it runs away.

If you go 'looking' for ideas and chasing the next burst of inspiration or direction then you probably won't find it... This is because if you FORCE anything then you instantly make it unreal.

When you focus on your own REAL path and the steps that will take you deeper into wholeness then the ideas come to you.

Try it.

Stay real out there,

In this episode, we delve into the concept of sympathetic dominance and its impact on our nervous system and overall well-being. We explore how an imbalanced nervous system can prevent us from achieving wholeness and trust in life.

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: We begin with an overview of the nervous system, focusing on the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. We discuss how sympathetic dominance—where the fight or flight response is overly active—can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and various physical symptoms.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:This episode breaks down three primary sources of tension that contribute to sympathetic dominance:

𝟭. 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Often caused by sedentary lifestyles and poor posture, physical tension can be alleviated through practices like foam rolling, yin yoga, and breathwork. Techniques such as 4-7-8 breathing and box breathing are highlighted as effective methods for releasing physical tension and regulating the nervous system.

𝟮. 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Rooted in our belief systems and the choices we make, mental tension arises from living out of alignment with the truth. By constantly questioning our assumptions and aligning our beliefs with reality, we can reduce mental stress and live more authentically.

𝟯. 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Unresolved emotions like shame, guilt, and trauma contribute to emotional tension. Facing these emotions head-on and integrating the shadow self can help release this tension, leading to a more balanced and whole existence.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀: 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲

Join me in this episode as we explore the sources of tension that lead to sympathetic dominance and how to address them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to regulate their nervous system and move towards a more relaxed, authentic, and real life.
