Nice - my mom worried about every unlikely possibility possible - especially when I was going out with my friends. I had to tell her "maybe a plane will crash directly on my forehead too, but it seems kinda unlikely"
"Get a little cocky" that's a very good point. You made it to where you are because something you bring sets you apart from others. Don't let it go to your head, but use it to psych yourself up.
As someone who has suffered from (genetic) mental health issues aka depression and anxiety since a child on top of childhood abuse and trauma even at 34 years old today every day is a challenge for me. Social situations even as simple as going to a grocery store. I started practicing meditation and I work out more often now. But sometimes that just takes the edge off. I would do anything to be like most people. But I'm (me) and I just have to live my life and play the hand I was dealt in life. It's held me back from so much in this lifetime. I once had so many dreams. Today I live alone in my apartment go day to day to a janitor job and ride my bicycle to it rain or shine. Because my anxiety won't allow me to get a license. I've had many good jobs but always seem to lose them because of this. I get strength from learning and watching your videos. You truly are an inspiration for me. I hope to somehow break free of my chains eventually and be a better man. I know to many they probably see a loser. But I truly am more then that and have abilities I've just not been able to show. Thank you for doing what you do.
@Sailhatan101 we should keep in touch and try to motivate each other together. I'm currently lying in bed after a rough day and just had an idea hit me suddenly. Do you have an email address I can reach you at?
What I have found to be true is the more often you are exposed to stress the less it affects you. You expect to feel it as part of the process. No factor 🙂
7:00 I remember when I had was a speaker at an event with over 500 people, and I went out and said, "Give me a sec. I'm having a panic attack and can't remember my name." We all laughed, I remembered to breathe, and it was enough to override the fear and allow me to just start. I tripped over my words (a lot), but nobody cared and I still got several clients from the event after. Once I was diagnosed with OCD and realized the reason I was avoiding certain situations was because it was compulsive avoidance to minimize anxiety, I started doing smaller exposures that led to larger ones. It started with agoraphobia so bad that I'd have a panic attack just THINKING about walking outside. Through OCD therapy and facing my fear (even when it was the last thing I wanted to do), I was able to speak on stages and travel around the world. It's definitely not comfortable or easy, though, even if it looks like it to other people.
You don’t have to move away from people. Simply move toward peace. If they are meant to be in your life they will follow if not it wasnt meant to be. Face and acknowledge the toxicity and if they dont honor your requests let go.
I thank you and all the ex-servicemen I follow, you gave us that much info about so many things, that I am always prepared for the worst, I remember this quote " Prepare for the worst and hope for the best".
i say this at "work", paraphrased from Ayn Rand and others: "I am not asking what is going to let us do this, but who or waht is going to try to stop it. Either get to work, or get out of the way, because we cannot control what is coming right now"
In my 30+ year career in technology, I have always compared my civilian challenges against those I went through in the military....quickly will level set things and allows me to calm down and understand that what I am going through is not a biggie.....I knock it out and also has helped to talk to others on the project team. Best gentleman - good topic in these days!
10:00 The Klingons have a saying before they go into battle: Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam. "Today is a good day to die." Sometimes I say this to myself before doing scary stuff, and it instantly refuels me. If I have my bat'leth, I'll swing it around a little to get the blood moving.
Great advice. Know you aren’t alone. I lean on my faith. I am where I am, I still need to perform and there for a reason.. I ask for help, then prepare. No matter what happens, be thankful. You went through a stressor that made you better, stronger and infinitely wiser.
another good point he made: you got yourself to the position youre in, so thats definitely a win. be a little cocky and enjoy the nausea, stress, anxiety. Rewards.
Rehearsals will absolutely up your hyper vigilance game. I literally should be dead, so everything from that day forward is a bonus. I appreciate your inspiration.
Clearly Jocko has never seen the middle school Weezer concert video 😂 For those kids it was worst case scenario, so learning to laugh at yourself with certain things is important.
look after yourself first,head rehearsal is defo helpful but allways a hardball gets thrown, try to be grateful for the opportunity to learn more in the struggle ❤how could it go better next time,then a different ball is thrown 😂😂I do worst case scenario and has helped stop me making some bad choices 😂
So I was hit in the back of the head on a night out in the street outside the club ended up having a 2v2 fight and was arrested for affray and now have to pay £1800 for my advocate when it was all in self defence money I can’t get back and I’m super stressed about the whole situation first time in trouble/court as well
when i was young and naive .....I had to stand up and talk in front of people..i was so nervous...when i got up to speak I laughed and could not get a word out only laughter.
@@Brandoncook2018 Arthur Fleck is a character in the 2019 film Joker. He is a struggling stand-up comedian who becomes nihilistic and kills people after being bullied. He is also known as the Joker, and has other aliases including Carnival. Joaquin Phoenix plays Arthur Fleck 😳
Fear setting…I’m pretty sure he made it up…at some point, every term and every course of action was made up…that’s the beauty of being a creative individual…you can made things up that WORK. 😊
@@vegeta420z6 make a vlog and put it online. Start a crowdfunding campaign. Look for work doing anything you love. Volunteer to get your foot in the door if you don't have experience. No matter what, don't give up. This might be one of the moments in life where you only have yourself. Always March on, that's the only way to get where you're going.
Isnt this more about a mind-set? I dont call anything stressful. Maybe if i was being attacked that would probably be stressful. But nothing else is stressful. Bills to pay and no money? Manage the supplier/create money opportunities.
I've said the same thing, in a different way, on my channel. "paying attention to the words of otehrs lets them set the song for a dance. You paly the music for your own dance." Warrent Buffet said "every morning i look in the mirror, at that point, everyone has had their say" ]
Jocko you can back up a little from the microphone, I can hear your bowels moving. One reason I like you is you are not a poser tough guy, so all that heavy deep breathing you can skip that
Such a genuine personality!!, Sincerely speaking. I will continue to trade and stick to Elizabeth Ann daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me.
Canadian in "black pajamas", since 2001. I train to survive everyday, yet I am the opposite, in terms of physical conditioning. All the Jiu-Jitsu guys went one way and I still do not exist ..like being a useless myth or walking between the walls, of someone else's limited perception.
lmfao jocko: whats the worst thats gonna happen? you die?!...🤔....🥱ok so probably not that big of a deal. hows that impact the world? hows it impact you🤷♂️🥴 GOOD. Noted.
