[WARNING: This read will call on some deep stuff in you!] This is a 'daily post' I just made in our new "Unshakable Confidence 5-Day Challenge" group. The group for MEN ONLY (there will be one coming soon for all my amazing ladies here). Men: If you feel like this 'speaks' to you - request to join us. Link in the comments below. Ladies: Please feel free to share with the men around you who must absolutely know about the work we will do there - grounding ourselves in Deep Inner Confidence (Confidence that's independent on what happens in the world outside!) Link in comments below. . . . Fear of Rejection If there's one thing that I know that prevents men from living the lives they want (and instead they end up settling for living the lives that they are now living) is this pervasive bundle of bodily sensations that we call... Fear of Rejection It's in the family of a bunch of other fears: fear of judgment, not being accepted, not being liked. I was infected by this fear and its flavors. I no longer am. What has helped me tremendously is what I call Fear alchemy - learning to dace with this bodily sensation (because that's what it is... nothing else!) The more I learned to dance with fear the more I was stepping into a space of being Unapologetically Me. But, what helped me get the courage to begin the process of learning to "dance" with fear? I realized what having this "fear" in my body: - Has cost me so far… . . .

How many places in the world do that... Male Appreciation Day?!!! Last week, Thursday... as I was walking into #MindValley I was greeted by our amazing women Goddesses who had been secretly planning an entire celebration of all men at MV! What an unforgettable treat - from the morning all the way late into the night. And, finding an appreciation card at my desk... that touched my heart deeply. Thank you 🙏 amazing goddess at MindValley! I appreciate you so much 💫 #appreciationday #maleappreciationday #grateful🙏 (at Mindvalley) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7lPH23Akoz/?igshid=17axoo9ojib31

Wrapping up 2019. I was lucky enough to be able to spend a few days in magical Tallinn, Estonia at the Winter Wonderland event with 20 beautiful souls from all over the world! I dreamed about things like this happening for me a few years ago. Now, I’m leaving my dreams. So much appreciation for everything and everyone! 2019 was the most magical in my life. I have the strong feeling that 2020 will be even more so! 🙏 (Photo credit: @karenharmsphotography) #tallinnestonia #christmasintallinn #blessedbeyondmeasure #livinginappreciation #worldtraveler #gratefulthankfulblessed (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vqauTAJhy/?igshid=sn87yueoeorc

Q. What is the greatest lesson you learned in 2019? Lesson 1: What I'm truly after isn't being happy and joyful. What I'm truly after is experiencing myself as FULLY ALIVE! I feel fully alive when I am fully present and experiencing the Feelings/Emotions that are alive in me at each 'present' or 'NOW' moment. Experiencing ALL EMOTIONS, regardless of whether in the past I would have labeled them as negative or positive - all of them! When all of them are allowed, invited, welcomed, the experience is a full presence & fully aliveness. Besides, nothing is inherently good or bad anyway. Lesson 2: "Letting go" means non-attachment to everything - including the physical body. Nothing is "mine", including this body that I'm temporarily inhabiting and taking good care of (so it serves my soul to 'create' the experiences and to re-member). Lesson 3: It's much easier and preferable to go through life, powered by the energies of CURIOSITY and WONDER. A great thing to say, as Jim Rohn said, "Hmmm, isn't this interesting?" Lesson 4: There's no winning this game I call "life". The point is not to "get there", but to enjoy the game, the journey. There's no getting there. There's no arriving. There's no getting out of this alive either. So, just play... meaning: don't get too hung up on this "what's my purpose" thing... don't take any of this too seriously. #mindsetmatters #mindsetshift #beyondyourbestself #spiritualbeing #selflove #lightworkers #loveyourself #ivan_nikolov (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ioGYZgPLZ/?igshid=k69etcym0hnl

I have a lot of appreciation for most people (working on making this ‘all people’) and... I harbor deep respect for not many. Recently, while participating in the LifePlugin in India I got the chance and honor to be captured in a morning warrior movement practice with two of them - my warrior brothers Ronan Diego de Oliveira and Raphael Fraga. Deep respect and appreciation, men! Glad that you two are in my life and that I’m honored to be in yours! 👊🙏 #warriorbrothers #lifeplugin (at Goa, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Y6qoYgJ5p/?igshid=615u3uxjfoue

Not a speaker. Just a host (introducing a speaker) to one of my soul brothers, a dear friend, and an amazing human being - @ronandiegoinsta. And, what a great photo from my friend, erudite, deep thinker, talented artist, and neighbor at the Vogue @albertorossiniphoto #mindvalleyuniversity2019 #mindvalleyuniversity (at Pula, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gWrnEA543/?igshid=1ovxd2yx2tqhs

More on the “I don’t know how” excuse (let’s call it what it is… and I fully own my share of using this excuse more times than I can even count!). There are two types of “how-to”. The interesting thing is one of the how-to’s that we usually use as an excuse, as a way to procrastinate more, as a major form of resistance to our own success, leads to the other, bigger “how-to”. And, most people pretend how to know the latter "how-to". Watch the short video to find out the distinction between the two, and to find out if you are... ... possibly playing a victim in a very subtle way. (In full honesty, this victim state still shows up in me once in a while before I catch it and give it a treatment! 🙂) Next, post in the comments below what emotions did what I’m saying raise within your body? Were you triggered? Did you discover ways that you are pretending not-to-know-how? This is a safe space. So, share away! . . . As always… Remember who you are. It’s time! Yours truly. . . .

Are you one of these people who keeps looking for the "how-to" to your big questions (problems) but no matter what information you find it never seems to work... And you keep looking? And, the "looking" never stops? Because it just never seems to work... for YOU! Why is that? Here are a few reasons why. And, how to shift your thinking about it. Watch the FULL video in the DEEP COMM Tribe and let me know how it made you feel when you found out how it truly works!

Human Flags around the world - London, UK 🇬🇧 issue - in the first vid, and Leamington Spa in the second. It looks like with the UK human flags I’ll be wrapping up the European #flagsaroundtheworld 2019 issue. Or... maybe there will be more coming?! Who knows? I definitely don’t know! That’s how much I know! #humanflag #humanflags #calisthenicsaroundtheworld #calisthenicsevolution #calisthenicscommunity #fitnessmotivation #calisthenicsmotivation #ivan_nikolov (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_NG8FABcE/?igshid=1q314h9o6p222

You are in social settings and you feel the pressure to be, show-up, behave in a certain way. Because, if you don't, people may start asking you what's going on. Why aren't you "your usual self" (whatever that may mean)? So, let me be blunt and say that trying to be "consistent" in this context is a form of being inauthentic. Why do you always have to fit people's idea (the image they've created in their heads) about you? What would it take to just... be you... based entirely and solely on how you feel... ...RIGHT NOW?! Yes, I know. Again, it's the fear of rejection - yes, that's what it is. The fear of judgment. Imagine for a second that you show up exactly how you feel you should be right now. What's the worst thing that may happen? You are not going to die, right? Because that's behind the fear of rejection - physical death. So, now that we know that thinking you're going to die if you are just "you", let's drop that and let's... ...give ourselves permission to be consistent - but not with the image others have created in their heads about us, rather with how we feel deep on the inside right damn now! So, stop trying to fit in. Stop trying to please others. Stop being agreeable all the time. Stop fearing rejection. And, start being YOU! Can we try that? At least until we get proof that it's totally okay No, mandatory To be YOURSELF! . . . Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. And... Remember who you are. It's time! . . .
