I keep getting asked about coping vs rewiring. Let me frame it as this: Coping is staying functional while you’re being successful. Rewiring is being successful without needing to hold your breath for it. Because you can do all the right things and still feel wired. Breathwork. Cold plunges. Supplements. The whole wellness menu. And you are still clenching your jaw at 2pm like being successful is something you have to survive. If your body learned that being successful requires tension, you’ll stay on alert even when everything is going well. And that dip in capacity you’re judging yourself for. It’s not you falling off. It’s your system saying: “I’m not paying this cost to be successful anymore.”
