So let’s start the week with a Rebelology “Reality Hit”. This week’s blog is to clear up and define what my work here is NOT, who it is NOT suited to and where it stands in the landscape of our social psychology and the fitness industry culture. Sometimes we gain greater clarity when we understand what something is NOT as opposed to hearing what it is. Besides this gives me the opportunity to kindly (as kind as I can be) correct any mis-perception or the mis-communication of my work that can be lost in translation.
Learning to understand yourself on a greater level in body, mind and spirit is not a “bandwagon” you jump on. It is not a program, a craze or a “thing you do” and it’s surly not a cult you join. Even though the term is used loosely in its association, for the record, a cult is a;
Sect devoted to a system, ideology or rites of practice defined and determined by a leader.
Remember, anything that advocates, empowers and educates you to make your own rules, form your own principles and asks you to be your own leader, is the opposite polarity of a cult. So let’s just erase those associations. When it comes to my work through Emazon, The Red Print or Rebelology, yes I have a strong, convicted voice that speaks on topics I am educated, experienced and well versed in from a dedication to this industry of over 14 years. However, I am also one of the many voices that represent a cultural rebellion taking place in this industry. Let me get one thing clear, I am not its leader, you are. Let it be known, this “thing” everyone seems to be getting into about finding their authentic self is not a notion nor is it a phase. This is a turn point in western culture and women are leading it.
What I teach under the Emazon and Rebelology banner in the form of workshops, presentations, courses and 1:1 consulting is a body of work that represents a movement in social and cultural psychology within the fitness industry in association to body image, weight-loss and personal power. My work, Emazon.TV and the Rebelology educates you in the shift taking place in our belief systems that is rapidly moving through western culture. The Red Print is the course that teaches you the framework, the language and approach towards what IS not only happening in our society, in your heads. My work shortens people’s learning curve on how to navigate through the fast development of body, mind and spirit teaching in relation to well-being.
Why do I stand so convicted and firm in my principles? Because of the thousands of you I have stood before in sold out tours around the country who have broken open and told the truth about the how body image and weight-loss has affected you. You have spoken courageously about the emotional and mental battle fought in your heads about losing weight and your worth attached it. I have witnessed this on mass and have dedicated my life’s work into creating a framework, language and process to break people, predominantly women, free from the illusion your weight is your worth.
The change has arrived. We all need to stop selling ourselves the bullshit story of “more is more”. The simple idea of calories in calories out, carbs is the enemy, eat less move more ect, is quickly being exposed as an amateur methodology. After years of smashing ones self at the gym, suffering burn out, immune breakdown, metabolic dysfunction and disordered behaviour, many women are raising their attention and money towards holistic practice.
There comes a time you simply can’t sit on the fence anymore. You either keep smashing yourself with the starvation approach or you step up and own the fact there is a more intelligent element of your psyche than the idea of “change your body, change your life”. You either claim your inner rebel who is fighting to break you free from the enslaved conditioning and teach you a holistic method of well-being or you stay where you are. If are you are not on this side of the fence, click off this page, suck it up and carry on. Monday is a new day right?
If are committed to the simple “logic” of body transformation and you believe there is no other influences to consider, you are simply not my client. If you think your mind and spirit play no role in your well-being and you suffer no struggle with the “weightloss logic” then it is safe to say there is nothing I can help you with. You either want to explore your body, mind and spirit on a deep level or you don’t. You either struggle or you don’t. Take a word of advice for free, if there is a struggle please give yourself permission to acknowledge and own it. Stop denying it, stop fucking around pretending next “Monday” will be different. This is your life. You have a magnificent free mind that is capable of so much more when you give up the ghost.
When ever there is change, there is always resistance from those who rely on the “known” to feel safe. Whether it’s my voice you listen to or not, as a culture, the change has arrived. As women, we are the ones who are leading the Red Print Rebellion. We are the ones who are predominantly (not exclusively) investing the money into mind coaching, self-development, energy therapies and spiritual practice that is evolving health, fitness and well-being. As women, it is our natural instinct to share and pass on empowered knowledge therefore this has naturally positioned us a the game changers by default. I am not being sexist nor do I exclude men from driving this change. There are many amazing men who are teaching and educating people on the body, mind spirit movement. However we cannot escape the truth two thirds of consumer investment in health and fitness is made by women. Let alone those who are the most affected by restrictions of a belief system are the ones who fight for the liberation from it. I call it a rebellion because when we strip back the political correctness, this is what it is. The first stage in altering an ingrained belief system is a form of rebellion:
def; resistance to or defiance of any authority, control, or tradition.
Now I could attempt to repaint it by using a nicer word but why bother. It is a part of our instinctive nature to rebel first against what we feel controls us. My experience, knowledge and exposure in this industry positions me with full conviction this change is here. I am not even slightly deterred by those who may oppose this reality. In my tour I list the sites, social media pages, game changers and leaders of this movement that receive millions of hits on their sites daily. Their blogs, articles and videos are shared by the thousands. My viewers post and tag me daily on social evidence that proves how fast these messages are shared. There is no question “The change is here”. The Red Print Rebellion is happening and it’s my job to teach you how to navigate yourself through a new landscape that will change western culture forever. It is my colleagues and my job to support you through your own rebellion and re-creation into a more liberated and empowered individual.
This is why I have created this blog site, the IGNITE National Tour, Emazon.TV, The Red Print Series of workshops. In closing I want you to be aware, every time you share an empowered quote on social media, invest in personal development or expand your education on the body, mind and spirit, you are an activist leading this change that will affect our future and the generations who follow us.
