No he’s just an example of what ANYONE can be if they applied that mindset to themselves!!! How many times has he recited his story of how he’s just a regular dude who learned to push himself beyond his limits?!?? It’s like the message just keeps flying over people’s heads!
@@Mr.Honest247 Yh, he was basically a fat depressed guy who said "fuck it. I'm done with my own bullshit excuses for being weak". And there's no shortage of fat and/or depressed guys in our current society.
When I was a little girl (about 8 - 10 years old) I never listened to Music while working out. I find that working out without music helps you to focus more, and it strengthens your mindset by allowing you to challenge yourself.
That’s his point, it helps you so it’s a crutch. Without it you must fight off boredom and question what am I doing until you finally get in the rhythm of your workout and nothing else matters.
Even if you are a complete idiot if just so he can brutally tear you down and demand you become less a piece of shit. The drill sergeant build up. I don't think he can pass a person by without attempting to get them to improve themselves.
That's his point, its an aid to your performance which runs you the risk of dependency down the line, for Goggins it makes sense not to listen to it because he trains strictly for mental fortitude, but I'd say it doesnt matter much if you are training for other reasons
@@lol6434 notice how I explicitly said it makes sense for Goggins because of how he thinks but it does not apply to everyone, i'm not advocating anything...try to actually understand what a person writes before complaining about something you misinterpreted
it's for me. i don't listen music. mental & physical are different bro. you can not just pull-push something, and get what you want. proves yourself if you are better than goggins.
the sound of my lungs and prayers keeps me going longer than the sound of music. i used to run 5 half marathons per year and i could only listen to music on the first two runs.
I love all his advice but this particularly sticks for me. I hate being distracted by my phone when I’m with others and I hate when the people I’m with tune out of our conversation because of it. Both ways are super annoying. I think I’m gonna do my best to adapt this. Thanks Goggins stay hard 🫡
We need to normalize this. Fuck these phones. Dedicate yourself to the moment and the people you're around and if they don't give you the same respect, get up and walk away.
For everyone addicted to your phone what really helps is if you still go to school just don't bring your phone and idk I've been doing so long that it's very easy to not whip out my phone whenever I'm bored I just talk to people or sit there with my thoughts or do something it's really sad seeing everyone glued to their phones like robots
I love his attitude about the phone, and completely agree. It's ridiculous to me how many people think you're rude or uncaring for not getting back to them immediately... without taking into account how rude and uncaring it is to be constantly on your phone when you're with others.
@@lydiapinnell1124 He's more like ugly-hot to me but🤷♂ People definitely shouldn't see him as a role model since what he went through and his beliefs are on the extreme end of the spectrum. As he himself said, take his ideas and suggestions with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, he shows people what our minds are capable of, and I think that is the thing we should learn from this guy.
I kinda agree with Goggins here, i do so much better when I have no audio on and I’m just focusing on my form while also shooing away doubtful, negative, self-interested thoughts, etc.
I have had similar thoughts. Music makes you feel good. Sometimes you hear a song that'll pull you right back into the game when you were tapped out. Imagine locating that inspiration from within in any moment with nothing but you.. and in goggins case, while being insulted.
Goggins really is present. Look in his eyes. That's the look of a man staring into the soul of every person he meets. While also holding back the emotions of pure outrage that next to no one understand them selves and yet complain about other peoples lives.
This man is an Inspiration to me for the only Part i havent trained yet. Because i know only for a short time in my life that i have learned everything but looking after myself. I gave everything until i died. Now i know how to Look after me ❤
One of the moments I knew I needed to leave my friend group was when we were all sitting in a room together and everyone was staring at their phone except me.
Damn I'm in that exact situation now. Unfortunately those friends are the only ones I got 😅 Don't have time to make new ones either as I'm in the grind phase currently to turn my life around. To be fair, almost everyone is like that these days. I was too, until I started listening to people like Goggins and seriously started fixing the shitt that was my life.
Goggins who has said he was diagnosed having ADHD has inspired me and motivated me to discipline myself to focus and concentrate even as a empath. Unplugging and practicing being present with myself and others is what I consider to be the REAL self care not getting mani and pedi
Actually very right about that , in every single christian , pentecostal church specifically that I’ve ever been in the always say this : “ your body may be here , but your mind , your SOUL is wondering somewhere else “ , if David figured this out and he’s not even a religious person .. then I don’t know what else to tell you to prove there’s is a real God out there influencing us in a very good way .
This reassures me. I thought I was weird for neglecting my phone and leaving it in the truck while I work. It helps me through the day focus on what's happening and I can think ahead on what I need to do.
I think one of the simplest things you can do to stop being too attached to your phone. Is to never put the ringer on and leave it on vibrate or silent. Not hearing a distracting ass ring from your phone every 10 seconds helps you forget you have it when its not necessarily needed
Right, usually that's the excuse we give. My phone is a part of me, I go everywhere with it. But I understand David's POV and I support the idea of giving people our undivided attention
I love that It's a rule I have taught me children as well When I am with someone, phones are not excepted in our conversation at all It's a beautiful way to live in the moment
Same. I never interrupt a human for a bell that might be a human, it's just never the person I'm engaged with. I also never film strangers without permission.
This man is motivated by anger. I’m motivated by gratitude, I love instrumental music and am grateful for every step and every pedal stroke, I have no goals, no races to run, just the gratitude that I can move.
I kinda miss the times when you wanted to talk with your friends you opened the computer, sat down and used msn messenger or something to check messages and talk with them for a while. Then closed it and continued your day. Now I just whip my phone out from my pocket like once and hour and talk with them.
it’s true, i always use to gym while listening to music but i got my self noise cancelling headphones and gyming like that has just felt better i feel stronger and i feel less distracted in a way
Goggins is my dude, love him, but I have to draw the line at taking away my music while I train. Some people live and breathe music in a way that others cannot understand.
Ugh I thought I was weird by being so annoyed when friends go on their phone mid conversation like “ok I guess I’ll just leave now because you just left the conversation.”
I do. Lol 😂 Most conversations with ppl I don’t know that well I’m always looking for my escape. Cell phone is the quickest out hahaha. As soon as they look down I’m out. They didn’t say bye so why should I 😂 …. If it’s wrong I don’t wanna be right
I travel with my phone everywhere, but as a rule, when I'm with someone I don't use it or even take it out. Bringing the phone on table while you are chatting with someone is a big no
I do the same, unless I am quickly showing the person a photo and immediately putting my phone away, my phone doesn’t get taken out when I’m with others.
that has to be my favorite thing hes ever said. i couldnt agree more. lots of times when i go out anywhere ill put my phone on airplane mode so other than playing music, i can just be where im at and observe and stuff
Perhaps compartmentalizing every moment is real freedom. Leave the phone inaccessible, worry about the future task once it befalls you is the real dopamine detox. Since it's mostly anticipation, once you know you can't check anything you so much anticipate (notifications, messages etc.) you can focus on the moment. Those things are leeches, even I who tries not to have too much reliability on phones, am deep in into the furnace. Fuck
I think goggins is on to something. I had this realization the other day that I need to seriously clean up my phone addiction. When I was younger I got on just fine without a phone. I don’t need one with me now 24/7
I can imagine that Mr Goggins is a somewhat lonely man. Not through lack of company or popularity, but finding others with the same mentality, drive and zest for life. He is fascinating and to me would have thrived in any era, however many hundreds of years ago. THE most effective deployment of mind over matter we have seen.
Can we get some interviews with goggins wife ? She didn’t get seal training… n she somehow manages to live with this lunatic The patience this woman must have developed is astounding I want to hear what her life is like, not being able to EVER say “I’m too tired”
You don’t realise, but spending less time within your own thoughts is probably why we have so much depression. Just being there, being comfortable being familiar with the rhythm of your mind, it’s unfamiliar to many people, they’re entire development they’ve had a box of infinite distraction always with them.
You can have a cell phone in your pocket and have the self control to leave it on airplane mode and not use it. The phone isn't the issue. It's your own descipline that is.
Not traveling with your phone at all is probably a step too far... If he's so much about self control, why can't he just have the phone with him and not use it
I agree with him. I have never liked walkmen as its a distraction. & now with a phone its the same. Ill have it on me as i use it to track my metrics. If i leave it home it changes nothing
I think using a phone to escape from reality is what David Goggin's is trying to bring to our attention. I've always had a habit to refuse to be on my phone when standing in line and just let my mind wonder and entertain myself sense my own thoughts are more tolerable than whatever social media and to keep awareness of what's going on around me.
That and I also think he’s running from his past sorta. Idk, I think it’s kinda unhealthy to hate your past self as much as he does but hey whatever gets ya going!
@@SpicyPotatoe his reasons are kinda hollow tho….he hates his old self cuz he was a “ fat piece of shit” who worked in pest control. I mean that’s just any ol person in America haha. Not like he was hurting anyone. But what he became is incredible and I love this dude.
No.. it’s not that he likes the pain. He does it in spite of the pain. You’re just labeling him cause you can’t come close to doing what he does, so you want to label him with some condition
Understood but hes honestly most likely well off and his family would have recourses to take care of their emergency issues. Except for well of course his presence but how he said hes doing something in the moment hes there and present. When it comes time to focus on the emergency im sure he will 1000% locked in
Being present > being scared. I’m a family man and the miniature chance I miss an emergency has a much lower expected value than the 100% chance I will be more present with my family when I’m not on my phone.
@@optimize. or maybe just have it for emergencies while also practicing basic self-discipline? 💀 your family’s lives aren’t worth risking no matter how little the chance
Stop taking it personal just because you always on your phone. His family is safe. The amount of people being on their phones is killing our mindset. His goggins and if his family are in trouble he will be the first to know before you
Im with him on this i hate music when i train, but my reason is i waste too much time looking for the next song or making playlists id rather just get shit done
i personally do that and it has helped me being more active and watching my surrounds, my piece of advice, give it a try and you will see the big diference
