Our energy and nervous system drive our behavior far more than the values we claim to hold, creating a disconnect between what we say matters and where we actually spend our time and focus.
• Stated values often contradict actual behaviors due to unconscious safety mechanisms
• Nervous system creates safety behaviors based on past experiences that worked for survival
• High achievers typically oscillate between wounded masculine energy (pushing, controlling) and wounded feminine energy (avoiding, self-doubt)
• Fight/flight/freeze responses consume enormous energy compared to the connected "green zone"
• Looking at behaviors through lens of safety rather than judgment creates compassion
• Rewiring requires building capacity for new energy states through small, consistent actions
• Safety-building practices include creating space in schedules, somatic work, and sensory activities
• When nervous system feels safe, masculine energy leads with presence (not control) and feminine energy flows with trust
• Identity shifts when no longer operating from survival patterns
• Becoming more connected to your body creates ripple effects of compassion for self and others
