Why Is It So Hard to Step Out of the Matrix?

Have you ever asked yourself why it feels so difficult to live outside the expectations, norms, and rules we were born into? Why it’s so hard to step out of the matrix?

The truth is—we’ve been programmed for a very long time. From the moment we are born, society begins shaping our reality. We’re taught how to think, behave, succeed, and even what to fear. This invisible system serves those in power—the ones who benefit from keeping us asleep, distracted, and afraid. Because if we wake up… they lose control.

They control us through fear—one of the most powerful and, at the same time, scariest emotions. Fear keeps us small. It keeps us quiet. Through fear, we lose ourselves. We abandon ourselves. We stop taking action toward greatness and keep following the crowd. We stay in jobs that drain us, relationships that dull our spirit, and routines that numb our joy. We exist, but we don’t live.

This programming goes deep. It’s been passed down for generations—over centuries and millennia. It’s so deeply rooted that we don’t even think to question it. We believe that the life we are living is it. We believe that what we know since we remember is it. The ultimate truth.

But… what if it’s not?

What if we find that little gap in the illusion? What if we experience a glimpse of remembering—something deeper, something real? When that happens, everything begins to shift. You might try to look back and return to your old self, your old world—but it will feel itchy. That itch will keep coming back, no matter how many times you try to ignore it. It will keep coming back until you surrender and let the divine light come in.

I always say, brave are those ones who take the path of self-discovery and healing. It's a different kind of ride, let me tell you that. Once you decide to take this path fully—this path of transformation, uncovering the truth of who you are and who you are not, the truth of society, existence, and the soul—then the ride really begins to speed up.

So here I am. An awakened spirit who truly loves all beings. My deepest desire is to help people awaken and offer a helping hand through that transition—stepping out of the matrix and stepping into who they really are.

That’s why Balance UP was created. It’s more than a wellness space. It’s a sacred place for those ready to reconnect with their body, mind, and soul. I’m here to guide you as you awaken and return to your truth.

You are not alone.

With much love,
