Take Control: Transform Your Anger Into Power! 💪🔥
Daily Dose of Integrity If you're someone who feels that you can't control your anger or you feel that you're really powerless, helpless and things are unfair—just know you're doing this to yourself. You're doing this to yourself by disrespecting yourself when you're irritated and, instead of speaking your mind or at least leaving the situation, you just sit there, suppressing and tolerating shitty treatment. That's not other people’s fault. You're choosing that. You're enduring that by choice. When you change that decision, you'll change your whole life and you'll change your relationships with other people. I speak from the heart and from my own experience. This is something I had to go through myself. There's been plenty of times where I've put others in danger because I didn't manage my anger properly. I didn't realize that it's because I'm letting other people, who haven't earned that right, walk all over me.

@Charan Arora I admire that ability to channel anger into constructive channels.... I used to (and still often do) just shut down and freeze to preserve life when any anger erupted around me. It was so, so, forbidden, and so unsafe for me as a kid, I struggle now. The last time any anger was directed at me I slept nearly all day every day for 10 day, could barely speak or form a thought for tge first 3 days.... Anger still has a profoundly destabilising effect. It's a stopping point often in relationships. I am intelectualy aware of the idea that conflict is normal in a relationship, and could be a way to work stuff out...but I'm not emotionally strong enough yet to practice that free range again. I need small steps in learning about anger. And in that, I am heartwned by your description of anger fueling change or learning. I hear there are other sides / parts to it all, but from my perspective...its an area to grow.

@Charan Arora oh, and I agree voicing displeasure is important. It's important in learning how to express anger / charge, etc, in ways apropriate to the situation I think. I have that in mind when I think about how to express a bit more when I realise I have an opinion, or a stance (hopefully a stance based on healthy values... I have to check my motives in these instances) on an issue.
What It Means to be Kind to Yourself [pt.1 Self-Love Series]
Daily Dose of Integrity New full length video out today! This video is part 1 of a 6-part series on loving yourself. Let's tackle the struggle of self-acceptance and kindness. I've been frustrated that common self-love advice often lacks practical application, so I wish to provide a solution. This video looks at causes of stress, such as societal pressures and the inability to let go of control, leading to self-loathing and fluctuating self-worth. We'll investigate how coping mechanisms like overworking, substance abuse, and people-pleasing as signs of unresolved self-acceptance issues. We'll look at increasing self-acceptance through the art of reducing stress and fostering genuine kindness towards oneself, akin to how one treats loved ones.

@Daniel Munro that is a great article! The exhortation to not act in the now from old programs, but to pause, and update my frame of reference to now. Yes....it is the fear of being centre of attention that is the fear. I know I come across well on video, and reading aloud, speaking to a a small group, but in a large group the fear kicks in.
A memeber asked me a question about learning
They felt overwhelmed with so much content available on youtube and with the skool courses. I thought my reply might be helpful for others here too. "Hey dude, the key to optimising learning is you have got to work backwards from your goal. Our brains are freaking learning machines and we get in our own way. 1. Know your outcome (what are you learning about and for what purpose?.) If reading this book/watching this video got you the desired result - what does that look like? Be as specific as possible. How are you different after learning this. 2.Have a clear intent with your why with learning - don't get muddled up with self vanity metrics of ticking off books on your reading list or thinking you have to go through every video or needing to remember every detail. Be clear about your intent. If its watching videos on confidence, then get ready to use the information in your domain confidently. 3. Apply what your learning - go tell others about it (teaching is the best way to retain information) Even if its txting a friend or family member or go write a blog or comment somewhere on the internet. Follow these three steps and you will learn to be on a different level. Not the information overload level the other level. BIG hint the most effective way to learn is about the attitude. An attitude of having a goal and being curious about learning ways and things/concepts that will get you there faster. And more easily."

@Daniel Munro I remember David DeAngelo with pick up sort of stuff and Eben Pagen in marketing, in early Internet times. They are the same person aye? I never did any Eban Pagen, but I did buy one David DeAngeko, but never realy implimented much.

I was fascinated by that. Reading him as De Angelo, then as this different creature, Pagan. I guess I felt it was kind of wrong to be different people to market, but really I guess is is behavioral flexibility. I guess too, he was ahead of his time, as on the internet now one can invent, reinvent, sand invent again rapidly !
What hobbies do you guys have?
I’ve pretty much had the same hobby for 25 years. But given a big tangled mess of issues (the same ones that bring me to Brojo) it’s become more stressful and depressing than entertaining. So I’m on the hunt for alternatives. For reference, I’ve been dancing one or more of salsa/bachata/kizomba/zouk since 1999. It’s pretty challenging finding something that fills the gaps in fitness, social intros, nights at the bar, IRL tinder, and regular travel destinations for big events. Plus of course finding something I find interesting. So, let’s have a discussion about what you guys get yourselves up to. PS, I’ve done a few PT boxing sessions at the gym, which has got me to look at the nearby boxing gyms and Krav Maga options. I plan to check out a few trial classes.

@Scott Harvey I find such things so scary! I never did anything like that, as in never did an organised group activity like sport or something creative that needs a group to occur. I never had the courage as a teen nor an adult. Now in my late 50s , I keep coming across things like this I never had the courage to do. There is no end of things I can do in my quest for courage!
The Power of Asking for Help: Transform Your Life
Daily Dose of Integrity If you're struggling: get support, ask for help. One of the hardest things in the world for me to do—is to ask for help. I’ve recently added two new members to my team—one to help me with creative administrative tasks and the other to help me with sales. It took me months to work myself up to actually ask them. Then, afterwards, I thought “Why didn't I do this earlier? This makes my life so much better and it makes their life better too!” Every time I've hired a coach, seen a therapist or asked my wife for advice, I always find it insightful. I don’t always agree with their perspectives, but I learned that it is helpful to include other people. If nothing else, just to validate my own ideas and come back to the basics.

@Daniel Munro Yes! That's so true, and so painful. Mostly I am anxiously attached, but when I go over my coping ability, I want to get away. I guess I am still working on this ! Part of the Courage Quest is increasing my ability to tolerate thoughts and emotions . Maybe not so much tolerate, that may be the wrong words - maybe more like I keep growing my emotional container , and keep working to courageously stand in the space of feeling when I feel another is hurting me.

It is good to hear others realise sometimes that it is hard for us people pleasers / helpers to ask for and accept help. I say we, I am really saying I very much relate to what you say. I find it hard, and used to find it impossible, to formulate a request and just as impossible to ask. It is such a learning experience when others point it out to me. I get that from what you say about the guys you helped coming to you and naming what was going on. Its kinda pleasing when that happens I find, but I still find it a bit of a challenge to hear and take in, but its the stuff I need to take in as I change, .
