Check it out: Roger Nix – Fierce Relaxation

Fierce Relaxation is a four-week, online class intended to support men and women using Dr. Robert Glover’s program for recovering Nice Guys. Fierce Relaxation is especially for men and women who experience a high level of anxiety that may be interfering with their recovery process.

I am Roger Nix, a Certified No More Mr. Nice Guy Coach. I am also a recovering Nice Guy and have suffered from severe anxiety most of my life. I understand how it limits your life.

In this course, I will provide you with practical, nontechnical information and practices to deal with the chronic anxiety and fear that are limiting your ability to recover and get what you want in life.

The tools of Fierce Relaxation will train you to regulate your anxiety and shift from external validation to self-validation. These tools have worked for me and many others. I know they can help you too.
Is This You?

You are very sensitive but have learned not to show it
You are afraid of your feelings
Your fear of anxiety limits you — you either quit or don’t try
You have designed your life to avoid anxiety — your life is small
You have designed your life to be busy — your life is chaotic
You think but don’t act, or you act but don’t think
You need a lot of external validation but you try to not let people see this
You get the concepts of No More Mr. Nice Guy but don’t do the exercises

How Fierce Relaxation Works

The tools and concepts of Fierce Relaxation include:

Examining the roots of your anxiety
Creating inner calm through breathing and muscle relaxation practices
Introduction to several methods of meditation (you choose the ones that work for you)
Training in Mindfulness practices — meet the nonjudgmental observer
Making peace with the voices in your head and dealing with mind chatter
Cleaning up toxic environments and relationships
Looking at diet and exercise and how they affect moods
Discovering the value of self-validation
Defining your intentions and living with purpose

These practices will help you develop the skills to:

Regulate your anxiety
Focus your attention
Be comfortable with others
Emotionally connect with others without fusion
Stick with the process — be patient and persistent
Relax your body
Quiet your mind
Allow emotions without overreaction
Relabel experiences in a positive and truthful way
Let go of external sources of validation and medication
Live with clear values that are yours not someone else’s

Fierce Relaxation is about experiencing what it feels like to be able to relax yourself independent of external conditions. It teaches you to trust your body, emotions and mind. In other words you will develop confidence and self-trust of knowing that YOU hold the keys to the quality of your life.

How the Class Works
Lessons

When you register for Fierce Relaxation, you will receive a link to a class resource page. After the course begins, a new lesson will be added to the class page each week. Most lessons will be presented through a written “lecture,” from which you will be able to download and print the lessons and homework. The course will also utilize some video and audio recordings that supplement the lessons.

The lessons will present information to help you understand the subject and yourself. They will be geared toward helping you apply the information to your life in very practical and doable ways. Each will have discussion questions to stimulate personal reflection and interaction with class members on the online forum. Homework assignments will help you apply the information to your life.

Class Discussion Forums

The class resource page will contain a discussion forum for each lesson, where class members will post their responses and homework assignments. Class members will be encouraged to read and respond to each other’s posts.

A powerful part of the course will be the mutual support, modeling, and accountability that such interaction creates. Most people struggle to change their lives because they try to go it alone, using a limited set of tools. The online forums will help you see that you are not alone or your issues unique. They will build on the concept of “what one man can do, another man can do.”

The online forums will remain available for 12 months after the class begins so class members can continue to support each other and stay in touch long after it ends.

Instructor Q&A Forum

The class will also have an online Q&A forum where class members can ask Roger Nix questions relating to the lessons. Roger Nix will have regular office hours, at least twice a week, when he will respond to these questions.

Live Q&A Sessions

This course will feature one live, interactive discussion session with Roger Nix. The Q&A session will last about an hour and will provide a forum for asking any question relating to the course. The date and time will be posted on the class resource page. If you cannot make the session, you will be able to post questions in advance. The Q&A session will be recorded and posted in the class library.

Class Library

This class will have a library where Roger Nix will post resources related to the topic, including podcasts, videos, recorded interviews, books suggestions, and article links. This valuable library will help class members apply course information and put their intention into action.

You will be able to work at your own pace, reading the lessons and logging into the class forum to read and post at any time. You will be able to participate anytime from anywhere.

This course is limited to 100 students to insure maximum attention from the instructor and maximum benefit for each student.
Class is open to men and women.
