Inception of Ryze Above
As far as I can remember I knew I wanted to help people live their true authentic lives, so I began by becoming a personal trainer. Early on as a trainer I learned that that physical activity or any activity for that matter is a manifestation of ones personality. This being said I needed to dive more into how people thought, so I picked up a book called a primer of Jungian psychology. As I evolved as a trainer, I then picked up books such as Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, that book dove into the idea of mental habits and neuro-plasticity, then Spark by John Ratey who spoke to the similar sentiments. Then I read this book titled Rise of Superman By Steven Kotler, who picked his studies up from a famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who studied the idea of having optimal experiences. I read so many more, but these books really laid a foundation for my personal theories in which I wrote in my book titled RYZE.
Similarly to the the Jungian primer, my book serves a similar purpose but you first have to get past the gate keeper, your shadow. The shadow, also being the devil on your shoulder or lower self, an aspect of your personality that we try to repress. The more we repress painful memories, traumas the more it manifests in other aspects of our lives. In the first main chapter Be Real of my book I encourage you to meet your shadow self head on by taking inventory of your personal values and goals.
After addressing your shadow we then move to the next second main chapter, Be Relentless, where I take my personal studies of flow, which helped me shift my mindset and opened my up to infinite possibilities of living my true authentic life.
In the last main chapter Ryze above, we take all that we learned about ourselves and begin constructing our authentic life and the age 34 I arrived at the 5th dimension. Arriving at the 5th dimension is the reason I created my life coaching business, after finishing my primer, I realized that I was not the only author of my book and that I would've have not unlocked these new revelations without having a community.
Ryze was created for those who seek growth and change but are not sure where to start. My book will give you personal insights into my life and some techniques I utilized to overcome inflexion points in my life, I even ask you to try a few of the techniques.
Ryze Above is both the continuation is a step after reading my book, it was built to dive even deeper into experiences you seek better understanding of and added tools when meeting on a one to one or group guidance session.
