Did you ever wonder if there was a different way to view really thriving and living?
Author John R. Robertson did as he kept seeing people reacting to issues after the fact. He is the author of Run Towards The Roar - Transform Crisis and Change into The Opportunity to Thrive. When a “roar” happens in life there are normal fight, flight, freeze, and appease reactions but what would happen if we ran toward the roar instead of merely reacting?Instead of treating roars, storms, or crises as something to react to or try to avoid, we can plan for them so that we respond instead of reacting. Sometimes the theme of resilience, well-being, and thriving becomes so clinical, theoretical, or pie-in-the-sky that it is not practical or helpful. Like so many educational approaches, oftentimes the approach tends to be a transfer of information rather than transformation.Run Toward the Roar reframes thriving and resilience to find and focus on what you love so that you will be faithful and loyal, regardless of the roars that cross your path.This book is a way to think about thriving by using a different lens. One thing that author John R. Robertson has learned from the many first responders he has worked with is a quality they called ‘muscle memory’. The premise is simply where one trains so frequently that when they are faced with something challenging, they do not react, they respond. Their muscle memory takes over to the extent that they can react opposite to most normal (untrained) humans. They are able to run toward the roar instead of the normal reaction of running away from it.
Such a great read and excellent Guest.

I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time. I was in pain, and I masked it with alcohol. I was contemplating hurting myself. I finally decided to reach out and ask for help, and I am grateful I did. FHE Health and The Shatterproof Program saved my life. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819.

As you head into the new year I want you to start doing daily resolutions instead of a new year resolution. Think about it. Instead of resolving to stop doing something during the course of the year when you commit to daily resolutions you will have 365 of them at the end of the year. That is a lot of growth and change.
You can do it. Go conquer your day and your week.

You have a few days left in 2022 to make your plans and take action.

A career as a first responder will damage you. There is no question about it. There is only so much you can see without it affecting you in a negative way. My next guest wrote about the journey of many of his interviews for his book.
Nightmares, flashbacks, anger, concentration problems, emotional detachment, avoidance of people and places... These are some of the signs of PTSD. As many as one in three cops may suffer from PTSD, a condition that could lead to depression, suicidal thoughts, addictions, eating disorders as well as job and family conflict. CopShock prepares police officers for the aftermath of horrific trauma, helps families understand PTSD's effect on their loved ones, tells true stories of officers-men and women-with PTSD, and offers over 200 support sources.
It was an honor to have Trauma Expert and Best-Selling Author Allen R. Kates on the show. Allen is the author of CopShock - Surviving Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

I will be very happy when I pay off my debts. I will also be very happy when I reach the point I want to reach in my career. In my personal and professional relationships. Then I will be happy. The problem with my thinking is that I am robbing myself of happiness today, and you might be too. The only thing we have is the moment. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is promised to no one.
Learn to be happy where you are right now. You might be faced with challenges, but this day will never return. In this moment is when you can make the change you want.
Go out and conquer your day and your week.

The only thing we really have in life is the time we have on Earth. Time is a valuable resource and it goes by very quickly. How are you spending your time right now? Worrying? Fearful?
The cause of all of your worries and fear boils down to two things. 1) What happened in your past and 2) Your unknown future.
We give so much energy to these two areas of our lives that we forget to live right now. Right in the moment. This is where you should be spending your time and energy because eventually our time here will be gone.
Live in your moment.
Go out, have a great day and stay tuned for more great episodes on The CJEvolution Podcast.
