Are you on the fence, struggling with when to start? Waiting for the perfect time? Ah... it's the age-old dilemma and an all too familiar challenge, as our founder recalls from her own experience. Let's talk about procrastination versus perfect timing.

To wait or not to wait... 

That is the question, right?, —but it's also important to ask ourselves if waiting is a truly realistic, valid, and justified solution to a complex problem, or is it a detrimental and harmful stall tactic to avoid, grapple with, and navigate our own conscious and unconscious fears and the insecurities that naturally accompany us when a career change is on the horizon and seemingly inevitable?

While we believe in perfect, divine timing through intuition and alignment, and while we believe that procrastination can sometimes be a form of intuition, waiting, or waiting too long, can hinder us. That's what we want you to consider in this life-changing moment.

Resistance to our calling quickly becomes a wall of energetic division, creating interference, blocking our advancement and success, and deliberately delaying our timing and ability to help heal ourselves and others. And while our fear is powerful, it should not control our psyches.

Our psyches should not fall prey to fear, and fear should not hold the degree of power over us that it does as human beings and the decision-making process. Fear must be managed. We must manage our fear to rise above or cohabitate with them.

Waiting on and pushing back our calling cocoons us from the harsh reality of changing, growing, and evolving professionally. Waiting helps us avoid growing pains and growth itself.

Staying in our comfort zone helps us avoid the natural growth required to help transition us to where we really want to be and mentally map out and carve a path forward. When steeped in fear, our nervous systems are activated and we can't decide if and how we want to show up in the world through our unique work and calling.

Most of it boils down to our own psychology and willingness to conquer learned helplessness and rise in self-determination and . And to some degree, we must learn to live with and integrate our fears, if we can't totally conquer them, thus transmuting their power over us in support of ourselves.

Moving forward with a new calling or finally honoring an old one is never easy, because we're not taught that creating a life we love can be so rewarding and joyful. We're not taught that with each baby step, the process becomes easier and easier as our knowledge and experience snowballs.

The only thing I can promise you, and the only guarantee I can give you, is how much better life is when you allow yourself to trust the process and give yourself the permission you need to make it through to the other side.

The fear of change and the unknown is a powerful trick of the mind, a sleight of hand, but I assure you that any fears and apprehensions you may have are far worse than the reality. The reality is that the educational process takes on a unique form of self-empowerment that brings joy and light into your life.

Your educational story represents and becomes the incredible unfolding of a beautiful and personally rewarding journey that enables you to begin living your life by incorporating what you learn, vastly enhancing and improving the quality of your life and that of your family.

In truth and at the root, the greatest work you will ever do in any area of your life is conquering your fears and insecurities so that you can help serve those people you are specially coded to help, that only you can help. That alone is the best motivation to help you put your fears into perspective and even conquer them beyond belief.

You really must internalize, process, and comprehend that the world is literally waiting on you to get to a place where you trust yourself enough to unleash your gifts and help others manifest their full health potential and live their ideal lives.

Imagine a child, pet, loved one, or neighbor needing immediate help. How long would you have them wait for you to help them? A few months? A few years, —because this is the reality of what's happening when you resist the unique expression of your professional calling. How long will you wait to stand by the sworn duty of your calling and live the life you were meant to live?

Rockwell helps support you along that journey, but only you hold the key to your own unique gifts and expression of them. This is the work of surrendering to, diving into, and embracing your fears as you move forward in spite of them (since they aren't going anywhere anytime soon anyway).

We help you replace these fears with ancient spiritual truths that allow you to trust yourself. You'll constantly acclimate to and learn to trust the process and sacredness of your unique and personal success as you journey along the holistic provider path. And I promise you. It is all more than worth it.

How long will you wait, and how will you justify it? There's a lot to fear for some of us in honoring our calling, but taking brave steps is also our responsibility, as it is our duty to serve others highest and best good through our work. When we stall, we delay the changing of lives for the better and the changing of those we should be serving.

We have to ask ourselves, are we just scared? Are we really grounding, centering, and aligning with our intuition and heart center to make informed decisions from a place that will serve our own highest and best good and those of our future or existing clients?

And in the end, does it all come down to our psychology, belief, and trust in ourselves regarding our ability to succeed and thrive doing something we're passionate about? Are we worthy of the new life we want to create? What do we fear so much as to consciously allow it to hold us back one more day?

Why are we really waiting, and what exactly are we waiting on? What's the catch? What is really holding us back from our highest and best good?

We explore all of these scenarios to help you find clarity inside our Business Emporium, as this issue seems to particularly plague future holistic health professionals, as many of us are afraid of and simply frightened of our own power, potential reach and impact when it comes to healing people and the planet.

We are all far more powerful than we could ever realize or imagine, and success comes into our firm grasp through consistency and baby steps.

We want to play it safe and avoid stepping into the wild west of the unknown. We are often afraid of our own authority and power. And most of all, we fear what people will say and think about us.

We fear being judged and wonder if we'll be crucified and liked or not. Similar to the fear of public speaking, the fear surrounding failure and success is all-pervading and present in all but the most grounded, centered, and aligned among us. And that's something else to consider.

When becoming a holistic doctor or certified holistic health professional, we must redevelop, conquer, and learn to master our fears and insecurities, as this line of work insists that you do so as an integral requirement of your success.

The truth is, as Byron Katie says, it's none of our business what other people think of us, to be honest!

As long as we are kind and well-intentioned, nothing else matters. And as a famous dancer once said, judging or condemning our work is not up to us. It's our job to put it out there to serve others. We create and offer it.

As would-be holistic providers, we usually have our own healing to do, and in our own way, we are responsible for serving the public despite our own hangups, setbacks, personal excuses, and sometimes valid justifications of whatever reasons we're using to avoid showing up in the world in a meaningful way that makes a unique difference, but that's not where we want to stay mentally.

We want and need to move beyond that kind of limited thinking, the crux that holds us back from our truth, light, and inner sanctum, which all begs the question. Is waiting, in fact, easily the worst thing you could possibly do?

When surveyed, not enrolling sooner and losing precious time on their healing journey is the biggest regret our graduates have, —time will always get away from us, no matter what we do, but more so when we fail to manage it successfully.

Yes, things happen outside of our control, and it's true we can easily become a slave to external events unless we consciously decide how we want to spend the inevitable passing of our irreplaceable time on a moment-to-moment basis. This takes dedication, practice, training, and the ability to prioritize that which we most want.

Time management is easily the greatest challenge we face as humans, but as blossoming students, we help you with that from the start to nurture and nourish this part of your mental, spiritual, and emotional journey. Don't let your story be one of the most common regrets of not helping heal yourself and others sooner. Do you really want to put off the educational journey of a lifetime when you could be micro-stepping your way to a brighter future with new and improved conditions?

When we have a true calling, it's almost criminal not to honor it and trust the path it leads us to and through. Timing can seem like an obstacle, but as they say, the obstacle is the way.

The question is, how will you invest and apply the time that passes so it serves you full force in manifesting your full health potential and living your ideal life? Small progress is still progress.

The sooner you begin the educational journey of a lifetime, the sooner you'll fulfill your lifelong dream of becoming a functionally trained holistic doctor or certified holistic health professional.

Most graduates wish they'd begun the initiation of their journey the moment they felt called. What will you do? Will you let time get away from you? Or will you take the reins and charge in the direction of your career desires?

"The time is now, and now is the time," said one wise white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.

If you were drawn here, then we believe this is the perfect time to steep yourself in the magical world of plant medicine and become the holistic provider you always wished you had.

After all, there's no time like the present, as previously established. 

And with our affordable tuition plans, there's no reason to let your finances, fears, or doubts hold you back. Indeed, your time is now and now is your time.
