You are the anxiously attached. The attachment is the source of the chronic hypervigilance in the relationships, the chronic fear of the abandonment, the chronic sense of the never-quite-secure. The attachment is also the source of the chronic emotional dependency, the chronic relational anxiety, and the chronic sense of the never-quite-autonomous that are the foundation of one of the most under-recognized, and most under-discussed, psychological phenomena in modern life. The phenomenon is the anxious attachment, and the attachment is the source of the chronic emotional exhaustion, the chronic cognitive impairment, and the chronic disconnection from the self that are the foundation of the most under-developed, and most under-celebrated, character traits of modern life.
The rewiring of the anxious attachment is the practice of using the core strength training to build the emotional independence. The training is the source of the emotional regulation, the somatic strength, and the meaningful life that are the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
What the Anxious Attachment Is
The anxious attachment is the chronic, often unconscious, pattern of the relational anxiety, the relational dependency, and the relational hypervigilance. The attachment is the source of the chronic emotional exhaustion, the chronic cognitive impairment, and the chronic disconnection from the self. The attachment is the source of the difficulty of the navigation.
Research on attachment theory by John Bowlby and others has shown that the anxious attachment is the source of the chronic relational anxiety, and the anxiety is the source of the chronic emotional exhaustion. The exhaustion is the source of the cost, and the cost is the foundation of the difficulty of the navigation.
Research on core strength and the emotional regulation by various researchers has shown that the core strength is the source of the emotional regulation, and the regulation is the source of the meaningful engagement. The engagement is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
Why the Core Strength Training Works for the Anxious Attachment
The core strength training works for the anxious attachment for several reasons. The first is the embodied sense of stability. The core strength training is the source of the embodied sense of stability, and the stability is the source of the chronic emotional regulation. The regulation is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
The second reason is the interrupting of the hypervigilance. The core strength training is the source of the interrupting of the hypervigilance, and the interruption is the source of the chronic nervous system regulation. The regulation is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
The third reason is the building of the self-trust. The core strength training is the source of the building of the self-trust, and the building is the source of the chronic emotional independence. The independence is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
The fourth reason is the resistance to the abandonment anxiety. The core strength training is the source of the resistance to the abandonment anxiety, and the resistance is the source of the chronic emotional regulation. The regulation is the source of the meaningful life, and the meaningful life is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
What the Core Strength Training Achieves
The core strength training achieves several important things. The first is the physical stability. The core strength training is the source of the engagement with the physical stability, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The stability is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
The second is the emotional regulation. The core strength training is the source of the engagement with the emotional regulation, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The regulation is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
The third is the self-trust. The core strength training is the source of the engagement with the self-trust, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The trust is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
The fourth is the relational security. The core strength training is the source of the engagement with the relational security, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The security is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
How to Apply the Core Strength Training
1. Start with the plank to build the foundational stability. The plank is the source of the engagement with the foundation, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The plank is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
2. Use the heavy compound lifts to build the strength. The lifting is the source of the engagement with the strength, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The lifting is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
3. Practice the body-weight exercises for the accessibility. The exercises are the source of the engagement with the accessibility, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The exercises are the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
4. Use the breathing coordination with the lifts. The coordination is the source of the engagement with the nervous system, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The coordination is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
5. Practice the progressive overload for the adaptation. The overload is the source of the engagement with the adaptation, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The overload is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
6. Be willing to do the hard work. The willingness is the source of the engagement with the hard work, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The willingness is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life.
7. Celebrate the strength gains. The celebration is the source of the reinforcement, and the reinforcement is the source of the motivation. The celebration is the source of the engagement, and the engagement is the foundation of the navigation.
When the Core Strength Training Is the Right Move
It is important to say clearly: the core strength training is the right move for the anxious attachment, the chronic relational anxiety, and the chronic sense of the never-quite-autonomous. The core strength training is the wrong move when the person is in the active trauma, the active crisis, or the medical condition that prevents the physical training. The honest self-inquiry is whether the core strength training is the source of the meaningful engagement, or whether the core strength training is the source of the avoidance of the relational work. The first is the source of the engagement, and the second is the source of the resistance.
The Takeaway
The rewiring of the anxious attachment is one of the most under-recognized, and most under-celebrated, integrations in modern anxious life. The integration is the source of the emotional regulation, the somatic strength, and the meaningful life that are the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply independent life. The cure is not to think the way out. The cure is to build the body, to build the strength, and to engage with the core strength training. The next time you feel the anxious attachment, pause long enough to use the plank, to use the heavy lifts, and to engage with the body. The engagement is the source of the more meaningful, more stable, more deeply independent life.
