How Pullups Helped Me Reclaim My Energy and Sovereignty

Pullups, Pain & Power

For years, I gave away my power — chasing collaborators, dimming my worth, and letting others dictate my value.

That changed in 2020. Now I build alone. This video wasn't just a back workout. It was a spiritual reset.

Pullups and lat pulldowns became my way of returning to myself — physically and energetically. They’re how I reset my sovereignty. In the caption on YouTube and other socials, I shared this:

 

Till 2020, I used to chase bands, collaborators, groups, and acts. I used to diminish my worth and actually made them think I needed them. Needless to say, they responded accordingly, mistreating me, taking me for granted, and giving me the short end of the stick repeatedly.

It’s probably my fault as I portrayed myself as less than under the banner of humility and hard work.

There were even people who would turn around and backbite me after I made them famous in the Singapore music scene. I had ears everywhere thanks to loyal friends — all the stories reached me.

Sometimes working out helps you return to your own soul, your own body, your own energy.

If you’ve ever gone through something like this, I hope this video gives you a small reminder. Some people — especially world-class creatives — have had to build in silence for long stretches of their life.

A couple of years ago, it was time to stop explaining and start building.

I started experiencing miracles in my life (proof after you click the image below), which could not be dismissed as coincidence.

You can learn how to connect with your Spirit Guides, Spirit Guardians, Guardian Angels, Ancestors, Spirit Animals and More! It's a short 33-minute lesson, split into shorter bite-sized chapters, and you can implement it in your life immediately, in any situation, even if you're a beginner to Spirituality. If you're already a Spiritual Practitioner of any kind, this incantation can laser-focus the guidance you receive for your clients, from their own Guides (and no other random entities). Check it out and the sensational results I've achieved... here:
