Who are we?
Health Through Endurance
was founded through the suffering of trying to understand this world we all live in, and our identities as we progress through our years. Our ability to endure and overcome the obstacles in our path in life help to build us into more intelligent, well rounded, experienced people. This path is individual for each person, but we can all understand the compassion for the human experience. Even when we're apart, we live as one.
Prior to the internet, unless your parents were clinical psychologists or just extremely emotionally intelligent, most of us did not have the psychological tools to properly believe our worth, receive love, give love, self sooth our own emotions, set boundaries, or encourage ourselves and others. In fact, many of us are dealing with generations upon generations upon generations of trauma, abuse, harsh words, feelings of inadequacy, being out of touch with our spiritual selves, lack of ritual, competition within relationships, or a general sense of not feeling safe to be you.
Health Through Endurance is the journey to embracing our highest selves, creating a new future for the next generations of lives we'll touch, and the exploration of healing and obtaining the proper tools to fully embrace who we are.
Our Values
Live With Intention
... and Wish no Harm!
We all come into this life whole and worthy of love and then experience different genetics, social standards, parenting, psychology, nature, nurture, expectations, financial stresses, and much more.
The human experience is a full range and extremely complicated to say the least. Our brains try to protect ourselves by saying something is good or bad, but we do not live in a black-and-white world.
We need to understand 3 things:
-We all have a desire to feel safe emotionally physically financially
-We all have a desire to feel heard
-To contribute
-To celebrate life
-To feel patience from others
-And for ourselves
-To be loved
-To be healthy
Many of us have lived our lives trying to prove we are worthy of these basic needs.
This stops here.
The things we reject in others are the things we reject first in ourselves.
Everyone's journey is unique to them but we as a whole are connected and capable of experiencing the same traumas whether we have or not.
We cannot judge without all of the information, and all of the information is impossible except for our own unique experience.
Wish No Harm
This is a safe space
What we really want to say is....
Shame is not welcome or tolerated
Our ultimate goal is safety and security.
This cannot take place when externalize projected shame is on us. Throughout our platforms and coaching, we offer suggestions for ways to approach resolving conflict without the explicit intention of making someone feel bad, just for the sake of making them feel bad.
We need to learn to get curious about why people made the choices they did, even if it affects us. It is our responsibility to be in an open state of mind prior to having this conversation, as well as it is our responsibility to be open when someone else approaches us with curiosity in an attempt to understand.
This takes practice!!
But relationships of growth are worth every single second of the short-lived discomfort it takes to cross that bridge.
Take Responsibility
On a day to day scale, everything is our own fault. I tell everyone that. "Everything is my fault." Even if I know it's not, it is.
That person who is being abusive towards me? My fault for not setting a boundary and communicating what's appropriate. I did and they still act that way? Eventually my fault for continuing to be around it.
Car broke down? Alright, could have been my fault depending on if it needed maintenance. Not my fault? Definitely my problem.
There's power in taking responsibility for everything that happens around us. It means we have the power to find solutions to everything we're dissatisfied with.
There's power in blame, but only if a solution follows.
See, blame is actually an ice breaker out of the right now.
I often blame the school system for teaching us nonsense, and missing a ton of valuable information
But it's on me now to make up for lost time and learn everything I wanted to learn. And to put programs together helping to teach all I've learned along the way!
Understand your needs
Not only your needs but your values.
Is communication important to you? It's important to usHow about planning ahead?Being flexible?Self care?How much sleep is acceptable each night?What kind of food do you allow yourself to fuel your body with?If you don't know the answers to these questions, you'll never be able to ask for what you need!...You can't ask a friend, ask a partner, ask the universe....
You never know when to say no to something, you'll just keep tolerating it.Clarity is everything!Do you feel worthy of having these needs? Do you want to define your values?Click here to get started with all of this. Mind over matter link
Communication is Everything
Communication is clarity... Which as we said above, is everything!
Our relationships are the reason we are here on this earth. Good communication leads to healthy relationships.
We expect communication that is productive, effective, and kind, without putting someone on the defense.
We teach lots of tools to approach conversation in this way in Mind Over Matter
Connect With Nature
If you know, you know.
Our connection to the planet is one that is hard to describe. The way the sweat feels after a run on a sunny day, the gentle breeze caressing a piece of hair out of your face. The smell of the ocean as the waves crash down around you.
We were born to be outside. For our bodies to acclimate the the current climate, not rot in artificial super conditioners all day.
We're supposed to sweat. to MOVE our bodies. To enhance our cardio respiratory systems. To strengthen our muscles and build bone density. To strengthen our joints and to not crush our nerves.
We're supposed to breathe fresh air and feel the endorphins in our head from moving. We're supposed to walk on the earth with our bare feet, and feel the sun on our skin
Clear Your Emotional Realestate
What do you think about at night? What do you keep harping on yourself for not doing? Is it missing the gym or a workout every day? Is it the weeks that have gone by without picking up that guitar? Do you think about it every single day?
How about major life choices from your past? Are you holding onto the guilt from things that are done?
Emotional Realestate is the seed that is planted. Either long ago or every single day. The seed eventually gets fed and watered with how much we think about that particular subject. Is it watered with a sense of accomplishment? Or watered with a sense of guilt and shame.
Our brains are really good at holding onto all things incomplete, so 9/10 times it's watered with shame and guilt.
This is too exhausting for our brains to keep up with. And we do it either consciously, subconsciously, or both. Our self esteem relies on the way we feel about tasks, and bad emotional Realestate is too expensive to go through the same hatred spiral every single day.
It just costs too much. Lets figure out how to forgive the past, and make the most of today, and put this bag of constant shame down so we don't give it to others to carry as well
