They Want You Broken


 

How Do You Stay Un-Broken?


There are a lot of ways to be Broken.

Ethically?
Emotionally?
Physically?
Socially?
Financially?
Psychologically?
Spiritually?
Structurally?
Politically?
Philosophically?

...I could keep going, but I think you are getting my drift.

Most of our unrest, conflict and violence comes from broken people doing broken things. They are trying to feel less broken at the expense of others...

Some of them are scratching an itch that being broken brought on. 

There are even some who hold on to their broken-ness so much that they actually enjoy breaking others for their own amusement.

Some people like it when others are Broken, that way they don't feel as bad about themselves.

"I may be bad, but look at THAT guy?!"

or

"See, I'm not that bad."

Logic like that paves the way so they don't have to really deal with their own Brokeness.

Some people make it an unhealthy competition...

"Yea, you think that's bad?! That's nothing... Look at me!"


No Excuse...

Broken people may have a reason for their behavior, but it' still no excuse for doing dastardly deeds, be it common douche-bagery, conflict, violence, or criminal shenanigans. 


'They' Want You Broken...

Who are 'They' anyway!?

I don't know if 'they' are real or not... But it can seem as if there is a collective, secret 'They' behind some of these bad things going on. 

Regardless, you want to do your best to be 'Unbroken', meaning try to be a healthy, balanced, well adjusted human being w/a good head on your shoulders.

Yes, yes, yes, we all have our own sh*t.... and there are levels of broken, but basically, you must strive to become 'less' broken.

Why?!

Many obvious reasons....

The more broken you are the worse your life typically is. 

Broken people are easily manipulated.

(For the record... People who think they're broken even if they are not, are easily manipulated too!).

Broken people tend to be targets more.

Broken people tend to attract and create drama, conflict and violence... and rationalize how they are in no way responsible for it...

You can get Broken and not even know you are until you're far down that rabbit hole.

How do you know?!

You're constantly afraid, entitled, upset, angry, targeted. You're always in the middle of drama, conflict and violence. Bad things always seem to 'just happen to you.'  You don't take responsibility for your own actions. Always play the 'victim' of everything around you. Have an excuse (oh... I mean reason) for everything. 

It Can Be Subtle...

Meaning... You don't have to be totally broken. Most of us aren't. We just have small, little parts that have been damaged during shipping. =) 

The problem is that these small, little parts can fester and nag, making your life difficult. Holding you back.

These little broken parts can prevent you from being as safe as you would like to be. From feeling as confident as you want to. From being as successful as you want to be. 

From dealing with people as well as you could. 

How Do You Get to Unbroken?

Simple... Not easy!

You have to train to become Unbroken...

But not just any type of training!

Special training that will help you deal with the conflict inside and outside of yourself.

Training that is rare. Even today... Maybe especially today!

Just look around at all of these folks who are so well educated, yet they are so lost.

We have access to more information than we ever in history, yet there is even MORE unrest!

There are literally billions of people who need to learn how to become 'Unbroken!"

But how!?

What's the Formula!?

If you want to learn how to better protect yourself and your family, you'll need special training!

If you want to become and sustain being Unbroken, then you need to develop a Protector's Lifestyle? 

Why?!

Because you'll need new skills on how to develop greater confidence when dealing with conflict and violence...

Inside and around you!

You'll need a closer connection to a community of people who can help you.

You need an opportunity to learn from peolpe who've 'ben there, done that.'

Extra-ordinary folks who can help you develop the right types of tools. Get the right skills.

You need a chance to become a Private PeaceWalker Member.  

The membership will be opening up again soon! You won't want to miss it!

Get on the wait list here:

But remember it's therapeutic, not therapy! =)


Keep going,

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

Image
  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
