Emotions are muscles of the soul

[AION]

This is a major insight I had after doing some RSD blueprint exercises. 
 

In the same way we can have stubborn muscles that can’t relax and cause for mobility troubles, our soul can have same stubbornness. 

These are emotions that we hold onto and can’t relax into. A lot of the primal survival programming we have is sub conscious and it requires a lot of mindfulness to just notice them. And just relaxing these survival emotions is just another ball game. Very long and tedious work. 
 

Owen says guys have primal emotions that prevent us to be successful, get a hot girl or step out of our known habits because it would put us into danger. 

Actually having a good survival mechanism is anti success in this day and age. Nobody is going to kill you if you are rich and have a hot wife. At least if you live in the western world. 
 

Most of self development is emotional and not mental. Mental part is most easy part. For me the most important is to lean into my fear, shame, guilt, grief and other survival emotions and just massage it out of my soul , through trail and error and exposure therapy.
