Letting go of your old habits and trusting that whole-body strength is present requires a leap of faith. You must simply move and then evaluate the consequences later. How do you do it?
There is no doing. It is like the koan: When you can do nothing, what can you do?
Whole-body strength will be there when you stop all the doing, all the preparation, anticipation, the physical and psychological tension.
The doing was all the work that developed your whole-body strength. Like ingredients used to bake a cake.
To apply whole-body strength, you must simply relax and move as softly as you can - using the whole-body.
Being soft and gentle is the key - the less effort you make, the more whole-body strength will emerge.
