The MENtal Muscle-Up Podcast: The Cure For Mental Masturbation

The Heaviest Weight Most Men Will Ever Lift (But It Does Get Lighter)

• Season 3 • Episode 2

🤔 EP050 - If you’re the type of guy who when faced with the reality that you need to make some changes, you say to yourself, “I just need to do better”, and yet you’ve been saying that for years and not much has actually gotten better, what is the very first and hardest step you need to take before you can ever have a hope in hell of changing that which you desperately want and need to change in your life?

“You do control the thoughts that follow an emotion, and you have a great deal of say in how you react to an emotion - as long as you are aware of it.” - Travis Bradberry

🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our EMOTIONAL Health & Fitness.

FACT - There is one thing that drives me crazier than anything when I am teaching a group fitness class - when people refuse to listen to my instructions. Specifically, I have people who need to be dialing shit down but they refuse to listen, insist on playing at an intensity level way beyond what they are capable of only to quit early on the workout, or even worse, complain that it was too hard and never come back.

Both inside and outside of the gym, unless and until we are honest with ourselves about where we’re at, when we need to dial it up and when we need to dial it back, and most importantly when we need help doing both, we're going to remain stranded on the lonely island of desperation wondering how the fuck we are ever going to get home to the truth of who we are.

🤝 Help a Brotha Out! If you find value in today’s PodWod, please help others who may need to hear today’s message by rating and reviewing the podcast. A minute or two of your time could help save a lifetime of suffering for one of our fellow Brothers out there.
