A speaker uses stretching into a split to show how fear and internal stories create resistance in the body. By breathing through sensation and staying present, the resistance dissolves, revealing fear is mental, not physical. The framework: know yourself, accept yourself, act from the present.

Yoga is a great example in my life where if you go into maybe a split, the splits, if you're doing a stretch of splits, notice the story that comes into play when a little bit of this sensation comes in the back of your hamstring, right? The story of the sensation is what's creating resistance, right? If you actually entertain the sensation in the back of your leg, you actually go there and you breathe and you entertain living in that space, it starts to dissipate. You realize you can actually stay in the stretch for longer and You realize there was nothing to be afraid of and you just gained awareness of the resistance you had, which is fine because you gaining awareness of your own resistance is part of the journey, right? That's self, that's knowing yourself. If we could summarize everything here, the 3 stages would be to know yourself truly, your personal self, what you've come through and the resistances you have and your strengths, to accept yourself, right, with the things that you have available today and to act from today, and then also to create your life. So to create the performances you want.
