Today was my first workout in 7 months…

If you don’t know the whole story, I’ve been sick in bed for the better part of 6 months.

It started with my gut biome being killed off by some antibiotics I took after a wisdom tooth removal.

4 1/2 months of recovery.

2 weeks I felt like I was getting better.

Then I got COVID.

I didn’t just get a bad cold, I got smacked.

3 weeks down.

First week of February was the first week I felt normal since August of last year.

Months upon months of pain.

And I let that pain take the drivers seat for an additional 3 weeks into February.

The belief: “I was just super sick, I really need to pace myself and take it easy.”

I was afraid I’d get sick again.

I was suffering from a fear developed from a past pain.

Pain is unavoidable, especially when you’re on a path of greatness and growth.

Suffering is what you say to yourself about that pain.

Suffering will hurt you WAY more than any pain will.

Pain will slow you down, suffering will take you to a grinding halt.

Whenever you encounter pain, don’t let it fester and grow into suffering.

There’s zero benefit to letting it happen.

Has it already happened?

No worries, just accept what has happened, pick yourself up, and continue onwards.

Crazy how out of shape you can get when you don’t workout for 6 months 😂

Starting from scratch again like freshman year of college - this time I actually know what I’m doing 😉

In 2022, do something different.

Don’t let 2022 be a repeat of 2021.

Take different actions, refine your behaviors and habits, and commit to being more you than you ever have in the past.

2022 will only be “your year” if you take risks and take the actions you keep saying you’ll take.

Fear, anxiety, worry - all emotions and feelings that you’ve allowed to dictate your actions.

No more.

Let 2022 be different.

Shoot your shot, take take that action, ask that question - you never know how it’ll go until you try.

How’s 2022 going to go for you?

This is the power of Perception

Two guys, same bus, and access to the same views.

One chooses to focus on the negative, the other the positive.

One failure doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s simply just one less time it’ll happen.

Which seat are you choosing to sit in?

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐈𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝!

The likelihood that the situation that you’re facing is as dangerous as you think is pretty low.

Unless you’re in danger of serious harm or death, it’s really not that big of a deal.

A piece of advice I heard recently that has helped me TREMENDOUSLY in overcoming any perceived anxiety or worry about a situation is this:

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐚

We live in a world where predation on humans is pretty much gone.

We live our lives in the comfort of our homes, driving around in our cars, working in our offices (which also happen to be at home now), and going outside to extremely safe places.

The likelihood that you’ll be eaten is extremely low - that’s a really good thing!

However, we perceive the stressors in our daily life as if they’re life or death situations - aka, we’re about to be eaten.

This throws your mind down an incredible spiral of fear and anxiety that seems impossible to escape.

But next time you’re in one of those stressful, anxiety ridden times, ask yourself this: “Am I going to be eaten? Will this kill me?”

More likely than not, being a little late to work won’t result in you getting eaten.

Missing one day at the gym won’t result in you getting eaten.

Getting turned down by that person won’t result in you getting eaten.

That upcoming exam you’ve got… will not eat you.

That big social event you don’t want to go to… no one there will eat you.

While it may be stressful, the end result will still be the same - you’re still alive, and THAT’S what matters.

If you ever find yourself in those anxiety spirals around an event, person, or situation - just remember, you’re not going to get eaten 😉

If you don’t… I will eat you 🙃

"𝐅𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐈𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐈𝐭" 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫

When you fake it, you are telling yourself "this isn't who I am, but I'm going to pretend so that others believe that this is me."

Not only are you lying to others, but you're lying to the one person that matters most - yourself.

"But Chase, how am I supposed to be this amazing person that I want everyone to see me as?"

Here's what I want you to do:

I want you to sit down and write down what kind of person you're trying to be right now by "faking it".

Now, I want you to imagine a version of you that actually is that person.

Then, figure out what that version of you does every day to be the type of person you'e pretending to be.

Now go do those things.

It's that simple.

You want to be an incredible athlete? Then do what an athlete does: focus more on your nutrition, train effectively, take your rest and recovery seriously, and practice practice practice.

You might be a s**t athlete right now, but embodying what it means to be a great athlete will make you a real one in time.

You want to be a successful business owner? Then do what a business owner does: do your research about your industry, prioritize your income producing tasks, build systems to create predictability, serve serve serve.

You might be a s**t business owner right now, but embodying what it means to be a great business owner will make you a real one in time.

Faking is temporary, embodying is forever.

Stop lying to yourself and others, start at square 1 like everyone else and build.

I've fallen victim to this terrible advice time and time again, not anymore. I'm learning, I'm developing, I'm practicing - in time, I will be a great business owner and educator.

Join me in learning, and become the person you've wanted to be too.

You got this!

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡

Hey y'all, it's been a while. 2 months to be precise.

Whether you've wondered why I've been gone or not, I'm going to tell you, because it led to me ACTUALLY understanding the importance of the first line of this caption.

I've been dealing with some medical shiznit for the past 2 months, and my doctors have only recently figured out what's been going on with me.

I was having panic attacks every day for a good 2 weeks for literally zero reason, I wasn't able to eat anything besides a banana and some water for a good 2 weeks (leading to 15 lbs lost), my stomach was always in intense pain and I could barely sleep because of the back-and-forth between the panic attacks and the stomach pain. All the while, I was completely in the dark as to what and why this was all happening for 2 months.

I went to the emergency room, GI specialists, had an endoscopy done, and took a couple of different meds along the way.

Turns out, an antibacterial I took after a wisdom tooth removal killed my microbiome which led to all of this happening.

The reason I tell you this lil story isn't for your sympathy - it's to solidify a point.

During this entire time, I honestly never thought about how much money I was or wasn't making, how much my social media would suffer from me not being present, how much fun I was missing out on by not hanging out with friends and doing fun things, etc.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐌𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡

I used to fall into these mental traps at times that I wasn't making enough, I wasn't having enough fun, and my social media wasn't taking off as it has in the past.

Now, my health is the major thing I focus on these days.

I'm about 90-95% better, but this lesson has been ingrained into my brain for the rest of my life.

ALWAYS take care of your mental and physical health.

You'll be seeing my face much more often now, and I'll be letting y'all know some updates that will be coming to Nu Alpha soon too.

Till next time - Stay Fit 💪🏼

Engage + Accept = Evolve

Often times when we have a massive goal we are working towards, we will be met with overwhelming resistance.

Opinions of others, limiting beliefs, intense competition… the list can go on forever.

Most of us falter and concede in the face of this resistance.

We engage, but we don’t accept.

Instead, we judge and belittle ourselves and quit as a result.

Today I invite you to flip the script.

Learn to accept the resistance for what it is - a blip.

It’s simply a test to see how bad you want it.

Accept it, push through it, and evolve because of it.

It’s the simplest equation in the world for massive change.

Use it.

09/01/2021

You’re not always going to be motivated.

You’re not always going to “feel like it”.

You’ll have days where you want nothing more than to sit down and “take some me time”.

There’s a difference between intentional rest and skipping.

Don’t skip.

You’ll never regret that workout.

You’ll never regret working on yourself.

You’ll never regret taking the time to make progress.

Push through the mental resistance and get it done anyways.

You got this.

You are a result of your past…

At least, you allow yourself to be.

What we don’t realize is that our “memories” of the past are distorted.

And we are the ones that distorted them.

What you might have thought to be an event where people hated you…

Might have just been that one person had a bad day that day…

And you happened to be the person to feel their wrath.

But you don’t remember it that way…

So YOU created a story in your head to make sense of the situation.

And even IF the situation was a factual one…

That was a result of who you were in the past.

You’re an entirely different person now.

Internally and physiologically.

So why let it hold you down and keep you from living the life you want to live?

Ask yourself that today, see what answers come up for you.

I think you’ll start to see through the facade and realize just how much more of You that you can be.

There are two sides to you that you didn’t know existed.

Or rather, you’ve been aware of them, but you don’t know their names.

Every individual has two sides to them, both of them are equally powerful and equally capable of helping you grow.

Your Light Warrior and your Dark Warrior.

Your Light Warrior is the version of you that is soft, loving, and supportive.

Your Light Warrior should not be mistaken as weak, but rather should be seen in the likeness of a benevolent king leading his people.

Your Dark Warrior is the version of you that is intense, hungry, and ruthless.

Your Dark Warrior should not be mistaken as evil, but rather should be seen in the likeness of a Spartan warrior dominating in battle.

Both of these sides reside inside you, but you have a tendency to pay more attention to one over the other.

You may support your Light Warrior more because you don’t want to be seen as mean, evil, or too intense - this creates a story within you that you are weak.

You may support your Dark Warrior more because you don’t want to be seen as weak, timid, or afraid - this creates a story within you that you are evil.

These views, stories, and skewed distribution of power comes from a lack of understanding of both versions of you - THEY ARE BOTH POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE IN THEIR OWN WAY.

Learn to lean into each version of you equally, and lean more into one than the other when certain moments arise.

When someone is in pain, comfort then with your Light Warrior.

When there’s s*** that needs to be done, confront it with your Dark Warrior.

You are both your Light and your Dark Warriors, so learn to embrace them more.

Because the more you embrace them as equally powerful entities, the more powerful you will become as an individual as well.

Confidence will be abundant, self-worth will be high, and fear will hold no place in the direction of your actions.

Change and Growth don’t come as accidents.

They are done on purpose with the intention of becoming more.

You may not realize the process you go through for growth, but there is a process nonetheless.

If you truly want to see some major changes, I highly recommend you follow this framework to a T.

1️⃣ ENGAGE - In order to change something for the better, you have to confront and ENGAGE yourself with whatever it is that’s holding you back. This could be a fear, a disadvantage, etc.

2️⃣ ACCEPT - A reason you may not be growing as an individual is that you are not ACCEPTING your current situation for what it is. Understanding and acceptance are a package deal, you can not fully utilize one without the other.

3️⃣ EVOLVE - Once you have engaged with the source, and you have accepted it for what it is, only then are you able to make steps toward EVOLUTION and becoming a better version of yourself.

Engage, Accept, Evolve

This is a framework that was blind to me for so long, but not anymore.

Use this whenever you feel like you’ve hit a roadblock, you can thank me later.

💬 Which stage are you at right now with your process of growth?

Why would you want to confront stressful things in your life?⁠
⁠
Doing that is hard and uncomfortable.⁠
⁠
Know what isn't hard and uncomfortable?⁠
⁠
Eating your second bag of popcorn while watching The Office for the 5th time in a row.⁠
⁠
That's super easy to do, and now you don't have to deal with that super uncomfortable reality that you aren't living up to your full potential anymore.⁠
⁠..bruh...⁠
⁠
The more you avoid the things that matter, the more painful they become.⁠
⁠
While doing things that are comfortable now may seem its making life easier, it's making things harder for you in the long term.⁠
⁠
There's nothing wrong with eating popcorn and watching The Office, I love doing both of those.⁠
⁠
But using these as distractions to avoid doing the real work necessary to grow... that's on you.⁠
⁠
💬 Are you avoiding the deep work?⁠
