In the last blog post, I started discussing the power of the three and promised information about how it can affect our lives. 

When I was in fitness, I realized that when I gave my clients something, an exercise that I wanted them to become proficient at, I wanted their brains to connect with their muscles. 

Well, it's not the only reason, but it is a very powerful reason to do any exercise three times: It literally sends a message to your muscles.

Your brain is trying to find the muscles, and when you're a beginner, you're just starting, or it's been a while since you've exercised.

You'll notice that the first time you do the exercise, it's like, I don't know, I'm just doing the motion. I'm just copying what I saw someone else do. I'm just trying to move my body. 

The second time, we're more familiar with the move and going through the motions, and we're like, okay, I understand how to get to the goal. 

If you're wearing a V-up and trying to put your hands on your toes, your body must move a lot of muscles to do the job. 

The only things that don't help are your big toe and earlobes. 

When you're doing this exercise, it will take a second to feel coordinated, to pull all of your body together, doing that V up to come together from a flat place on the ground and pull everything together cohesively. 

In the third round, you're going to be like, okay, I understand the assignment, but you're going to be able to do fewer things in your brain that don't count. 

Doing less of anything at any point doesn't count. That's not true. That's just your brain. 

It's your brain making up rules about what success looks like. 

When working on building a better life, not just a better body, you have to give your body and mind time. 

To work together, you must give your mind and spirit a chance to work together. 

Besides doing an exercise three times to get the message to the muscle, one of the mighty threes is that if you do an exercise three times and max out each time, you'll be sore the next day. 

That is your indicator because your brain can find pain. 

Your brain is like, oh, it hurts right here. 

If it's in your shoulder, it hurts right here. You found your pecs. 

Wherever there's pain, your brain's like, there it is. 

The next time, the recovery time should only be three days. 

If you've been sore for four days and aching for five, you did too much. If it's the first time you've done the exercise three times, you will be sore for five days, but it'll never happen again. 

It's just how your body works. 

But do an exercise three times; your brain finds the muscle. 

It finds it so compelling that you're sore the next day.

You can tap it, touch it, or point to the pain, and that sore muscle is a really good indicator. 

You did it just right when you recovered on the third day. Three days. 

I don't need to tell you that Christ rose on the third day, like he was dead, and came back to life on the third day. 

Your body's dead, and it comes back to life on the third day; you're like, I'm ready to go.  My muscles are re-energized. They're renewed. 

There's the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. There are three: birth, life, and death; three: harmony, wisdom, and understanding. 

Those are critical components of personal growth. 

Finding harmony through life. 

Find your inner wisdom to guide you, and find the understanding to see other people for who they are and where they are so that you don't come unglued. 

Recognizing a pattern, the bare minimum of any pattern starts with three.

Only follow a pattern to see what works and what doesn't work if you see it in threes.

Look at your life; this will be interesting. You could give me feedback in the comments or email me. 

Look at your life and notice that the hardest lesson for you to learn came in threes.

It came light, then pretty strong, but it was not enough to move you, knock you down, or take you out, and it happened in threes. 

You lost a little money, learned a lesson, took another risk, lost more money, and then had a big blowout: relationships. 

Notice if they're in decline or incline as you learn the importance of three and the power behind doing something three times. 

Maybe you invested, and it went pretty well, and so you're like, okay, I'm going to invest again, and it went much better, and then you invested big because you felt like you had the confidence to do it, and it went really well. 

Just look for patterns of three because we might have looked at Christ's crucifixion as a bad thing, a sad thing, but it was the best thing because it allowed him when he said, I'm going to raise this temple in three days, it allowed him to do what he said he was going to do. 

If we die trying to do something in life, it feels like it's going to kill us. It feels like a death for us. 

It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to you because now you can do what you said you could do or what you've known you could do all along. 

Here you come, come right back. Just watch—growth, expansion, and journey. 

Those are three aspects of developing you. 

Growth will never stop, and expansion—let's hope it never stops—is a guarantee.

Journey, it's a guarantee. 

It will never end, meaning we're here to sift and sort through life. 

No matter what we're going through, no matter how hard it gets, if it's getting harder, there's a lesson there, and the universe is like, please learn this quickly, please learn this quickly, please learn quickly, pay attention. 

If it's going well, you have paid attention, and now your energy is wide open, and you have no upper limit issues.

You're just going to all the places you've ever wanted. 

But if it's getting worse and worse, you're in a pattern that needs to stop immediately. 

Sometimes, like I've always said, you're the hardest person to see. 

Sometimes, you need to get help on board. 

Sometimes, those patterns come in triplicates, and you find yourself flat on your back. 

I found myself in that same pattern, which isn't working. This isn't working. 

I was flat on my back going, what do you want from me? 

I was talking to my talking to God. He and I are having a little father-daughter conversation. 

What do you want from me? What am I still trying to get here? 

When I'm flat on my back, which I have been many times in my life, if I sit down and think about it, there are probably all different topics taking me down. 

Until I finally paid attention. What? What is it you want from me? 

Nine times out of 10, just asking that question brings the answers. 

Sometimes, it brings it in triplicate, but sometimes, it's the triplicate of what I'm doing, the patterns I'm following—prayer, meditation, journaling. Then, the answers come. 

Just look at your life. Look for the threes. Look for how you are finally getting the message. 

You're not just going through the motions anymore, like doing the exercise.

You're not just mimicking what you see but owning it. 

Over time, if you're consistent with your efforts. Let's talk about the body again. 

If you're consistent with your exercise efforts, it will be easier than initially. 

If you're trying to do a sit-up or push-up—and I don't mean a lazy push-up, I mean a real push-up—you should have your chin, chest to the ground, hips off the ground, and on your toes. 

If you're doing a real push-up, getting the message to the muscle takes consistent effort. 

Your mind might wonder, where is that muscle?

If I get on the ground, I can't get back up again without using my knees. 

Where's the muscle that lifts me? 

Well, there are only 95 of them, so stay caught up in which muscle it is. 

It's all the big muscles, the major muscles, the minor muscles, and the nervous system in between. A lot is going on. 

When you're consistent and working out, say, three times a week, three times a week, because if you're recovering in between, you're doing weights. 

Then you're doing cardio, weights, and cardio, alternating like that, but the weights three times a week are enough to get you where you're trying to go. 

But you do each exercise three times, which sends the message to the muscle. 

Then, you recover and are ready to go again on the third day. 

If you're using weights and your legs are sore the day after next because you're working out every other day, you're using a different muscle group, right? That's just common sense. 

You won't rework a sore muscle; that's not smart.

Your body needs time to recover. 

My ADHD brain is taking over. Hang on, I have to finish and complete this thought. 

When you start exercising in January, let's say, by March, month three, you will have a very different experience doing the same V-up or the same push-up. 

It is a very different experience because your brain has had an opportunity to spend three maxed-out efforts finding those muscles in every workout. 

In the beginning, you'll be doing knee push-ups, and you might not even get to the ground on those knee push-ups. 

You're doing the best you can, and you have to be okay with doing your best when working in triplicates. 

Just be okay with it. It's not even in triplicates; it's just being with yourself for those three rounds of doing your best. 

Then you're doing that for the next 12 weeks at the end of month three.

Your push-ups will look different because you have allowed your body to accept; I know where to find that muscle. 

Your brain also has been allowed to say, I know where to find that muscle. 

When making a mind-muscle connection, your body, mind, and spirit work together. 

Your spirit's like, whoa! Finally, it feels good to be free in a body. 

Like Aladdin, your spirit is a giant entity that squawks in an itty living space. 

As Aladdin would say, you are the genie in Aladdin. 

When your body feels good, your spirit's like, whew, what a relief. Your brain's on board. It's with your body; it's with your spirit. 

It's no longer dragging your body through the mire. It's with you; you become one, and you're whole. 

So, body, mind, and spirit, you're whole. That is part of your growth and expansion journey. 

You have to become whole if parts of you are still fragmented. They're underdeveloped. 

Those are those trauma patterns that you're like, oh, betrayal. Ha ha, look, there it is again.

I feel yucky gut soup every time I feel betrayal. I feel angry. I get hot in the head. I boil when I feel betrayed. 

But if you can just like, oh, name it, here it is betrayal, put it in the palm of your hand, look at it. Oh, betrayal. Hmm, I'm not a betrayal. I feel betrayed.

Betrayal is something I need to take personal responsibility for, and now. 

That underdeveloped part of me that was still angry about something that happened in the past can finally be shown love, forgiveness, and thanks. Thank you for teaching me. 

If I'm feeling betrayed, thank you for teaching me what I need to know so I can let you go. Bye. 

Our negative emotions are patterns. 

They're patterns of thought and behavior and how they make us feel. 

Watch for those because that's part of the growth expansion journey. That's the triplicate. 

You can't grow if you're unwilling to look at what's holding you back. 

Expansion is complex if you need help understanding the healing process, and the journey will feel long and arduous without growth and expansion.

You get to decide your journey, but keep that number pattern in mind: the power of three. So much happens in threes, right? 

Suppose you are spiritual, God, Christ, Holy Ghost, harmony, wisdom, understanding, birth, life, and death. We're living it. We're living the patterns of three. We're living it every day. 

Watch for threes in your life. Watch the clock energetically. 

When the clock is 3-3-3, or you look at your odometer, it's 3-3-3, or you look at your battery power, it's 33; just watch for the 3s. 

It's funny because those assigned to you in the spirit world are like, hey, see, 3, see, you're learning something. 

Notice what you're doing. Notice what your thoughts are all about when you see the 3s. Think, go back quickly, and rewind the tape in your head. 

What was I just thinking about? When I was like, hey, I wondered what time it was. Oh, 333. You're like, hey, I wonder what the odometer says. Oh, 333. 

Those little sparks in your head, they're nudging you. It's like, check that out. 

What is that? What time is it? What does the odometer say? How much battery power do I have? I wonder how many notifications I have. 

My family number is 32, so I always see a 32 on my notifications, no matter what day. 

Even if I've cleared all my notifications, whatever I do, it always says 32. Just watch. 

You'll have your numbers, but when you're learning about the power of threes, look for the cycles, the patterns in your life of threes. 

When you learn your lesson, what happened, the date, and the time, you'll also start to see the patterns. 

But with everything that we experience in this life, we're not even trying to birth life or death. 

We're experiencing the pattern of three. 

It's more fun for your awareness and to practice becoming more aware of your surroundings, and you're not just here to stomp through life. 

You're not just here trying to get a better job. There's just so, so much more to you. 

Spiritually speaking, you are a great, big spiritual giant inside this little bitty body relegated to sleeping, eating, navigating gravity, and obeying the laws of time. It's a lot of work. 

We're not as free as we'd like, but we can be as accessible as possible in the body and become more aware of our surroundings and life patterns. 

There are so many angel messages around you, and you're in it. 

You are in the pattern. You can't get out of it. 

It's Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It's there, and it was written way before you showed up. 

Anyway, this is a fun tidbit for you to ponder and watch for in your life.

By the way, the next episode will be about why life has been hard for you. So stay tuned.
